Seeing the pained expression on his son's face, Jiang Ying suddenly remembered that he couldn't get close to a woman, not even his own mother. She was about to call a servant to help her, but he stopped her.
He supported himself against the wall and his pale face slowly turned better. In less than ten seconds, Jiang Ying saw everything and was very surprised. With a smile in his eyes, he said, "Ye An, your symptoms …"
"It's all because of Qiao Xi."
No matter whose credit it was, in Jiang Ying's eyes, there was only her son who had been intimate with a woman for many years and was unable to gradually improve. This was a major event, and she was happy in her heart.
"The next time I meet Miss Qiao, I will solemnly thank her."
"Don't bother her."
"I just wanted to express my gratitude. Ye An, since you are gradually improving, you should consider the major events of your life."
Old Master Shen, who came down from upstairs, happened to hear what Jiang Ying had just said.
"Ye An, your mom is right. We should think about your life's important matters. The Shen family needs our mistress to take care of their future, and they also need your marriage as a guarantee."
Shen Yeyan looked at their gaping mouths. He didn't like what they said, so his expression turned even uglier.
"You don't need to worry about this matter. I know what I'm doing."
He turned his head and was about to leave when he was scolded by the old man, "You have a sense of propriety in doing other things. This matter might not happen. Let your mother arrange it."
Recently, Jiang Ying had come up with a plan after attending many famous ladies' gatherings specifically for Shen Yeyan's marriage.
"Dad, why don't we let Ye An go on a blind date first? There are so many famous young ladies in the Imperial City, there's bound to be some that we like."
"Alright, make the arrangements. This matter will be put on the agenda."
He had already descended the stairs. Jiang Ying looked at his son's departing back and felt a little scared. Qiao Xi was by his side and didn't feel reassured. She had to think of a way to deal with this.
"..."
The discord between the Shen brothers continued for a few days. Shen Yeyan's aura was always at a low pressure, so when Qiao Xi treated him at night, he wasn't in a good mood. He even thought too much, looked a little tired, and lowered his eyes slightly.
The central air-conditioning in the room was low and the wind was blowing. She took a blanket and draped it over his body.
"Mr. Shen, you've broken three cups, a vase and two ashtrays. Can you control your emotions?"
"No."
"If you go on like this, your temper will only get worse."
Shen Yenan didn't say anything. Seeing him turn his head to the side, leaving her with a cold expression, Qiao Xi felt helpless in her heart.
She asked tentatively, "Are you unable to control your emotions?"
He was silent for a long time before turning around. The light in his eyes dimmed. "Qiao Xi, what if I say yes?"
"Have you considered calling another doctor?"
She asked very frankly, but Shen Yeyan rejected it straightforwardly. She had seen his mental illness before, and it wasn't cured. It was just that he hid it. If his emotions were unstable, it would be easy to lose control.
"You've had a mental doctor before."
"It's different now."
"What's different?"
His silence gave her a headache, so she continued to ask, "What can you tell me that makes you irritable? "What happened at work?"
Shen Yeyan directly denied her question.
"Life?"
"You don't need to make wild guesses."
He, who was originally lying down lazily, threw his phone angrily after seeing the caller ID. Qiao Xi did not see the caller ID.
With a gloomy face, he got up and walked around the room. The phone in Qiao Xi's pocket was also ringing. She saw an unfamiliar number. Who was it this late at night?
"Hello?"
"Miss Qiao, I am Ye An's mother, Jiang Ying."
Even if the other party didn't say her name, Qiao Xi could still recognize her voice. Jiang Ying's tone of voice rose slightly, with a hint of flirtatiousness in his tone.
"Hello, Mrs. Shen."
"I'm really sorry for calling you so late at night. Is Ye An by your side?"
Qiao Xi handed the phone to him. "Your mom."
Shen Yeyan looked at the phone that she handed to him. For a moment, he wanted to throw it downstairs and smash it into pieces. Then, Qiao Xi passed it over with expectation in his eyes.
It was now ten o'clock in the evening. A man and a woman alone in a room. This Qiao Xi was not simple. To be able to make Ye An trust her so much was something that had never happened before.
Jiang Ying was afraid that her prediction would happen, so he had to make preparations.
"Ye An, listen to your mother and meet the other person. They are well-matched in family background and education."
He coldly snorted, "Do you still want me to walk the same path you've taken?"
The young Jiang family and Shen family were engaged in a marriage alliance. The young Mu Xi didn't really agree because Shen Ye An's father wasn't her type. However, due to the family's development, as the only daughter of the Jiang family, she had to give up on the choice of marriage when she was enjoying the benefits the family brought to her by the family.
After so many years had passed, she had seen the rise and fall of so many clans, and the Shen and Jiang Families had always been standing strong. Because they were related to each other, this was the reason why they were in such a prosperous situation.
"Your mom only knew the right choice for you after walking down the path. She won't let you fall head first."
"But I won't choose."
"Ye An, do you have someone you like?"
"It has nothing to do with you."
After he finished speaking, he cleanly hung up the phone. As Jiang Ying heard the beeping sound of the phone, his heart sank. He gripped the phone tightly as a trace of light flashed across his narrow and long phoenix eyes.
Shen Yeyan turned around and roughly threw his phone back into her arms. Qiao Xi was mostly listening inside the room.
"You don't need to transfer her phone calls to me in the future, nor do you need to answer them."
He didn't wait for her to reply and went into the bathroom. Qiao Xi listened to the sound of water splashing outside as he thought about something while holding the phone.
