After getting out of the car, Xu Anran followed behind Guan Jingyi and entered honestly. Originally, she wanted to tell Guan Jingyi that she would be going upstairs first.
He did not expect that the tip of Guan Jingyi's foot would spin and in the blink of an eye, he had changed from a position with his back facing towards Xu Anran.
Looking at her beautiful appearance, Guan Jingyi's black eyes did not reveal the slightest emotion. Both of his hands were on his belt and he said to Xu Anran: "Go back and pack up properly. Anthea, let's talk. "
Xu Anran nodded her head. Although she was a little perplexed by Guan Jingyi's words of "talk", she did not ask too much. She just changed her shoes and obediently went upstairs.
In the bathroom, a thick mist of steam covered the mirror, adding a layer of mist to it. Xu Anran was naked as she stood in front of a mirror. She couldn't see what she looked like clearly, only the outline of her body. Her thoughts had already flown back ten years ago.
Yeah, it has been ten years, she had a crush on Guan Jingyi for over ten years.
She still remembered the scene of her hiding under the stone bridge in the heavy rain. She saw him wearing a windbreaker and holding up a black umbrella, reaching out his hand and saying that he wanted to take her home.
She still remembered that day, the look of blissfulness on her face when she laid on Guan Jingyi's back.
From then on, she called Guan Jingyi 'Brother Yi'. In her dreams, she could not help but think of marrying him, putting on a white wedding dress, and keeping the most sacred vows of the church, and of him living his life forever, accompanied by the White Prime Minister. However, in reality, Xu Anran was very clear that she could not give her the emotion she longed for, because he had long promised another woman in his heart.
Her existence, her inexplicably becoming Guan Jingyi's wife in name, was already a mistake.
Therefore, Xu Anran had always been restraining her feelings for Guan Jingyi, polite and estranged from him.
Dong, dong dong dong. This was how often Xu Anran knocked on the door. She had always been the most polite, especially in front of Guan Jingyi.
"Come in."
Guan Jingyi was still wearing the white shirt from before, the sleeves of the shirt had been rolled up, and at the place where he had reached his forearm, there was a small piece of wheat colored robust arm. His two arms were in his belt, and at this moment, his back was facing the door as he looked out the window. That back view was somewhat lonely and desolate.
This was what Xu Anran saw when she entered the door. She came in, took only a few small steps, then stopped and stood still.
Guan Jingyi turned around. Seeing Xu Anran who had taken off her makeup, she raised her eyebrows slightly.
Xu Anran had changed into a long-sleeved cotton nightgown, but the dress was not very long, it had just reached her knees. Although it was late autumn, the main house's heating system was always very good. Even if one walked around barefoot, there was no need to worry about the cold feet.
Her hair was long and straight, and she didn't like bangs, nor did she like hair color or perm, so over the years, her hairstyle had remained almost the same, either in the middle or in the wrong direction. The facial features of the palm-sized face were very delicate. Although it was not considered outstanding, it was still a very pleasant sight to watch. In particular, the pair of large, pitch-black eyes were exceptionally intelligent. It was very easy to express emotions, as if they were alive.
Guan Jingyi smirked, and then pointed to the chair and said: "Sit."
It was easy to tell Guan Jingyi's character from the layout of the study. The solid wood bookshelves emitted a strong ancient aura, just like Guan Jingyi, who was firm, steady, and solemn. Xu Anran had scrolled through the contents on the bookshelf a few times, and most of them were cryptic and difficult to understand words, as well as some Latin type ancient books.
"An'an." Guan Jingyi sat at the end of the table, faced Xu Anran, and leaned on the chair behind him. His eyelids slightly lowered, and his tone did not contain the slightest bit of emotion, which made it difficult to discern whether he was happy or angry. Did something happen to you? "
Although he didn't really understand Xu Anran, and he had not really taken care of her in the past year of their marriage, he was, after all, someone who had crawled and fought on the battlefield and in the shopping mall for more than ten years. Guan Jingyi's eyes were both sharp and sharp, and this had spread throughout the industry, so he thought that there was something hard for Xu Anran to explain to others when she went to the bars and dances.
"No, Brother Yi. You don't think I had to go to the bar to dance because I was short of money. Ouch, how could it be? No matter what, I am still the housekeeper's young mistress. Living in such a big mansion, eating and living in it, I still have my fixed salary and freely squander it, hehe. " As she said till here, Xu Anran squinted his eyes and laughed, his eyes took the shape of a crescent moon, the fragmented light rays were crystal bright, like stars hanging in the sky, the dimples on her lips were very beautiful.
"Really?" Guan Jingyi frowned, he looked straight into Xu Anran's eyes, obviously he did not believe what Xu Anran had said.
"Of course it's true. But that was only one of the reasons. More importantly, didn't I tell you in the car that there were a lot of handsome men in the bar? If you go there, drink, sing, and dance, that would be a relief to you. "I've always been immersed in my work, and all I saw in the hospital was death, injury, sickness and disability. How depressing, I have to give myself an outlet to find some fun."
Guan Jingyi's finger knocked on the desk very rhythmically, and then he closed his eyes. "Then you should also …"
"I know, Brother Yi. I will protect myself from being taken advantage of. I understand all that. "What's more, I'm already 22 years old this year …" Xu Anran stuck out his chest and proudly patted his chest, as if she was promising her parents that she would never eat candy again.
Even though Xu Anran's tone was very resolute, it was unknown whether she had gone too far or not. Xu Anran's nose started to sour. The concern for her beyond words was obvious, but the more he acted this way, the more Xu Anran felt sad.
"That's right, she is indeed a big girl." Guan Jingyi's lips curled up into a smile as he sized up Xu Anran's little face. After pausing for a moment, he continued, "Ah Cheng has been rather free lately, if you really want to find some fun, you should bring him along."
The meaning behind Guan Jingyi's words could not be any clearer. If he still wanted to go to the bar, he could only let Yu Cheng watch over her.
