On the balcony, Han Xiao and Zheng Yixiao stood side by side, looking at the courtyard shrouded in moonlight.
"You're still in the rehabilitation period. You can't blow outside for too long. If you have anything to say, say it and go upstairs to rest." Han Xiao raised his thin lips and simply threw out words.
Zheng Yixiao looked at his eldest brother seriously and asked, "brother, are you and your sister-in-law married falsely? You just lied to me?"
Han Xiao wrinkled, as if looking at an ignorant child, and sternly scolded, "I have taught you since childhood. You should have evidence to speak and do things. If you ask, where is the basis?"
"I heard what you said when you and your sister-in-law went upstairs." Zheng Yixiao's voice was heavy, and his tone was obviously questioning his eldest brother.
Han Xiao's eyes remained the same. He remembered clearly that when he went upstairs with Yu Mingxi, they didn't say much about acting in front of Zheng Yixiao. What they said was vague and had no handle at all.
Zheng Yixiao is bluffing him. If he is 100% sure that the relationship between him and Yu Mingxi is false, he can't just ask him calmly. His brother is extreme and can't stand being cheated. If the truth is really revealed, Zheng Yixiao will make a scene.
"What did you hear?" Han Xiao asked back without expression. "You should know that I have a good memory. Not only did I say anything myself, but I will remember it clearly. I won't forget what others said. What caused you such a misunderstanding in my dialogue with Mingxi?"
"When you and your sister-in-law say you want to act, you have to take care of me..." Zheng Yixiao said suspiciously, "why do you take care of me when you act?"
"I'm a director and she's an actress. Do we have any problems with the play?" Han Xiao explained one by one, "As for what you said about taking care of you, your relationship with Mingxi has been very good since before. Now you suddenly ignore your body, put down the treatment and sneak back home. Can she let you go? She must think about how to take good care of you. She heard that you ran back today, so she came back from work early. She has always been diligent. If the course is delayed, she will think about how to make up for it."
"Is that true?" although the doubts on Zheng Yixiao's face have been eliminated, his intuition is still wrong.
"You are too willful. She is dragged down by your willfulness. You don't go to rest at night and keep healthy. You are still suspicious here?" Han Xiao scolded unhappily.
Zheng Yixiao was trained to lower his head. At this moment, he really felt that he had implicated Yu Mingxi.
"Don't you go to sleep yet?" Han Xiao suddenly raised his voice with a threat.
Zheng Yixiao was seldom reprimanded by him. He was a little scared. He pulled the hat he had fastened on his head and gave a wilting sound, but soon he thought of something, raised his head and stared at Han Xiao, "Brother, why did your sister-in-law call you 'Han Dao'. You have been married for several months. Will normal couples be so strange to each other? Moreover, why haven't you announced the news of your marriage with your sister-in-law yet?"
"Is the entertainment circle a place where you can play at will?" Han Xiao's voice became louder and continued to scold Zheng Yixiao, "I don't care, but she is a newcomer. The newcomer's most taboo is to spread the news that she is falling in love or married with others before she can stand firm, which is not conducive to her future development. Besides, you should know that I don't like to expose the identity of my family. I haven't protected you like this for so many years?"
Zheng Yixiao's eyes are darker. "Brother, that's different. Women care about their position very much. You don't make it public. It makes you two look like underground love. Don't you feel too wronged?"
"Mingxi has no opinion." Han Xiao frowned and replied stiffly.
"Elder brother, why didn't I find you have the attribute of scum man before?" Zheng Yixiao stared at Han Xiao and mocked.
"No big or small!" Han Xiao snapped, "who do you think you're talking to?"
Zheng Yixiao looked up without fear and stubbornly looked at Han Xiao, who was much taller than him. "Brother, you scolded me. I have to say that I talked a lot with my sister-in-law today. Do you know how I feel?"
"What feeling?" Han Xiao's eyebrows were still tightly frowned, and his tone had gradually become intolerable.
"I think my sister-in-law likes you very much," Zheng Yixiao glanced at the corners of his mouth, "But brother, you give me the feeling that you don't care about her at all. You are a great director and a great movie star. How good your acting skills are. I have to be careful whether I will be cheated by you. I don't know if my sister-in-law has found that you are good to her. It's more like acting. If anyone can easily see through your acting skills, your big director's sign may have been smashed?"
"What do you want to say?" Han Xiao straightened his mouth, looked cold and hard, and his tone didn't have any emotion. It seemed that Zheng Yixiao's words couldn't stir up any waves in his heart.
"I want to say, brother, you just like you with your sister-in-law." Zheng Yixiao pointed out pointedly, "brother, you are such a smart person, filming and acting, and won so many awards. How many films are love films? Can't you feel your sister-in-law's feelings for you at all."
Han Xiao's eyes changed in an instant.
Zheng Yixiao's words are not totally unreasonable. His life experience and many years of acting experience really make it easy for him to capture the emotional changes of others, no matter how small.
Yu Ming hopes that his eyes have actually changed not long ago. Of course, he is aware of it, but his subconscious is avoiding it.
Perhaps Yu Mingxi didn't realize it or was running away. He followed her meaning and didn't point it out. In the final analysis, it was the feeling he had adhered to for many years that pressed on his heart, so that he couldn't open his heart to accept another woman.
"Brother, I'll ask you one more thing." Zheng Yixiao asked a question again before Han Xiao replied, "have you... Touched your sister-in-law?"
Han Xiao narrowed his eyes, and the expression on his face was colder. He didn't deny it.
He can find suitable reasons to hide other things from Zheng Yixiao, but this kind of thing is related to women's chastity. It is a fact that he did that to Yu Mingxi. Only this thing, he can't lie or escape.
Zheng Yixiao also understood the importance of this matter. Although Han Xiao didn't answer, his long silence was an answer.
Zheng Yixiao couldn't help but rush to Han Xiao, grabbed his collar and scolded fiercely, "brother! Have you touched her, haven't you? How can you do this to her?! you're scum!"
"It was an accident," Han Xiao said in a deep voice, "but I will be responsible. It just takes time."
"Are you not ready to give up your feelings for sister Ni Xuan that can't have results, or have you never thought of giving up?" Zheng Yixiao flushed his eyes and roared, "you're wasting Yu Mingxi!"
Han Xiao can't refute, but at this moment, he can't give a better answer, let alone make any guarantee.
He has guarded Zhuang nixuan for so many years. His feelings for Zhuang nixuan have been integrated into his life. It doesn't mean that he can put it down easily.
"Elder brother, how many years can you come out?" Zheng Yixiao's face is more gloomy. "If you don't want to come out, you won't come out in a few years, more than ten years or decades. Elder sister Ni Xuan is already someone else's woman. Wake up, elder brother!"
Zheng Yixiao scolded in one breath, turned away from the balcony with a overcast face, went upstairs and went back to his room.
On such a large balcony, only Han Xiao's tall and lonely figure is left.
On the way back to the master bedroom, Han Xiao's face was dark and indistinguishable. His head was blank. His previous rigorous and orderly thoughts were confused.
The closer his steps were to the master bedroom, the more his heart sank until he stood at the door of the master bedroom. His hand slowly put on the door, but he didn't screw it down.
Zheng Yixiao's words seemed to echo in his ears.
It was he who touched Yu Mingxi and promised Yu Mingxi that he would try to fall in love with her, but it was also he who shut the girl out, stubbornly refused to open the door in his heart, and never allowed the two people to get close.
It's not that Yu Mingxi is not good enough. On the contrary, he appreciates this progressive and tenacious girl from the bottom of his heart. Why can't he have a serious try with her?
What's more, now the girl likes him. After all, he owes her
Yu Mingxi not only saved his brother, but also saved his life. As a big man, should he continue to be a shrinking turtle and avoid his responsibility forever?
He owed Yu Mingxi so much that he recognized her as his only wife for the rest of his life.
Han Xiao stared at the door handle and gradually became firm. Then he screwed it down and walked into the master bedroom.
After a few steps, I saw the petite figure lying by the bed.
Yu Mingxi turned over slightly at this time and was about to fall under the bed.
Han Xiao immediately walked quickly over and held the girl who fell from the edge of the bed in time.
Yu Mingxi was sleepy. The quilt on her body fell to one side when she turned over. The wind blew in from the window. She was so cold that she shrunk her neck, unconsciously approached the heat source, and deeply nestled in Han Xiao's arms. Her two soft palms grabbed Han Xiao's skirt, and her head rubbed and rubbed on his chest.
Han Xiao looked down at Yu Mingxi, who was sleeping sweetly. He lifted his arm up and steadily put the man down on the bed.
As a result, as soon as Yu Mingxi's head touched the pillow, she slightly opened her eyes. She should not be fully awake and her eyes were still covered with fog. Even if Han Xiao's face was close at hand, she didn't respond. She just stared at the handsome face without blinking.
"HMM... am I dreaming? Otherwise, how could you be so close to me?" Yu Mingxi murmured.
Han Xiao looked down at her and was silent for a while. He didn't answer her, but his hand around her waist didn't withdraw.
A struggle flashed in his eyes, but soon his struggle was disrupted by Yu Mingxi's next action.
Yu Mingxi gently poked Han Xiao's forehead with his slender fingertips, and then slid down the bridge of his nose. While touching it, he said to himself, "in fact, it's not hard. It feels very comfortable. Uh huh, it feels good."
Han Xiao doesn't move. He lets Yu Mingxi touch his face again and again. He looks at Yu Mingxi with a soft smile on her lips, dyeing her beautiful facial features with more attractive colors.
Han Xiao's eyes grew dark and his Adam's apple swallowed impatiently.
Yu Mingxi's fingertips stopped at the corner of Han Xiao's eyes and sighed, "how handsome!"
As soon as her voice fell, her hand was gently wrapped by Han Xiao's generous palm.
Han Xiao breathed calmly, slowly lowered his head and approached Yu Mingxi. When his nose reached the tip of her small nose, he paused and asked in a dark voice, "do you like me?"
Yu Mingxi frowned. She still didn't wake up from her dream. She thought she was just having a strange dream, but now the dream naked exposed her mind.
She resisted and pursed the corners of her mouth. Even in a dream, she was unwilling to easily admit that she decided to hide her feelings when she noticed it.
But Han Xiao insisted on letting her go. He must get the answer. His fingers pressed her lips and gently pried open her lips. His voice was low and hoarse, with a sense of seduction. "Yu Mingxi, tell me, do you like me?"
Yu Mingxi wants to close her mouth, but Han Xiao's fingers are against her teeth. She is afraid that she will bite him if she closes it hard.
"Yu Mingxi, you like me, don't you?" Han Xiao asked reluctantly.
Yu Mingxi was discouraged. He stared at Han Xiao with anger in his eyebrows and eyes. Finally, he gave a gentle and compromise sound.
Han Xiao pulled out his fingers and stroked Yu Mingxi's cheek with a soft touch. He suddenly lowered his head and kissed Yu Mingxi's smooth and full forehead. His voice was so low that only he could hear it. "I owe you what you want, and I will try to satisfy you."
With that, he closed his eyes and captured Yu Mingxi's lips.
