When I reminded her from behind, she finally reacted and immediately hugged Xiao Jie in his arms, smiling as he said, "Sorry, Aunty didn't hear it earlier."
But I was clearly standing upstairs and when I saw that she heard the voice of the Xiao Jie, I merely gave him a cold glance and didn't make a single move.
I don't know if she did, as she said, not hear me.
Two months or so after my mother was buried, my grandfather suddenly came to the villa and at that time, it was just the two of us, the Xiao Jie and I, was alone here. I was currently playing with bricks in the living room with him, and after my grandfather was helped down by someone, I didn't realize it at first.
I turned around and saw that the old man had already walked from the door to the middle of the living room. I immediately got up from the sofa in a flurry and walked towards the old man, arriving in front of him. I called to Grandpa.
We haven't seen each other since the last time he was hospitalized. After a few months, when we met again, he seemed to have aged a lot. His spirit was not the same as before, and his eyes were filled with a deep sense of age and exhaustion.
When he heard me call him grandpa, he became even more confused. I didn't ask the servant to pour some tea, but instead personally went there. When I came out with the cup, the old man was sitting on the sofa, playing with the Xiao Jie, with a rare smile on his wrinkled face. However, after seeing me coming out of the kitchen, he reached out his hand from Xiao Jie's face, returning to his usual cold and solemn expression.
I didn't say anything. After placing the tea on the table, I whispered, "Grandfather, please drink this tea."
He looked at the cup of tea and put his hand on his cane. He asked: "Where's Yu Jin?"
He came to look for Yu Jin. I thought for a bit and immediately replied: "He should be at the company. He has been very busy during this period of time."
The old man picked up the cup of tea on the table, took a sip, and then asked, "Go and make a phone call, tell him to come back with Wu Xia."
I didn't know why he was here today, but after thinking about it, it should be because of the marriage that was still uncompleted even after continuing halfway, I followed his instructions and called Wu Xia from the side, but the phone rang for a long time and he still didn't answer it. I thought for a moment, and in the end, still called Yu Jin.
However, the phone call was not answered by him, but by her secretary, Yumann Ting. Upon receiving my call, Yumann Ting asked in surprise: "Miss Yu?"
"It's me," I said.
Yumann Ting knew that I had quarreled with Yu Jin recently, so she asked me on the phone: "Do you need anything from Boss Yu?"
I said, "Where is he?"
Yumann Ting said: "Boss Yu is holding a meeting in the conference room. Please wait for a moment, I will give him my number."
I replied, "There's no need. It's not that I'm looking for him, but my grandfather came to my house and asked him to come back."
After Yumann Ting heard my words, she hesitated for a moment before saying, "Okay."
After that, I hung up the phone. Around half an hour later, Yu Jin's car stopped at the entrance, and after he got out of the car, he saw the old man sitting there. He immediately walked over and greeted him with a smile.
When the old man saw Yu Jin's arrival, he merely gave a bland grunt of acknowledgement.
After Yu Jin sat beside the old man, he looked at me, who was accompanying him, and after the servant came up with the tea, he quietly shifted his gaze away and said to the old man, "It's been a long time since I last visited you. How have you been recently?"
The old man could only let out a long sigh at Yu Jin's words, "What else can we do? "Buried people."
When Yu Jin heard the old man's words, he did not say anything. He only helped him change a cup of hot tea and gently placed it by his side.
The old man said: "I came today to discuss your marriage with Wu Xia. The last time, something like that happened at the wedding, which resulted in the two of you not even appearing yet. So today, I specially came here to ask when the marriage ceremony will start. "
Yu Jin seemed to have known the old man's purpose for coming here since long ago, and towards his words, he was naturally not surprised at all. Instead, he said with a bland face, "I have been busy with business lately, so I have kept delaying the wedding date.
The old man was very satisfied with Yu Jin's answer. He said: "Perhaps last time, because the time was too tight and the day was chosen lucky, so this time, I specifically looked for Teacher to watch the day. They said that the sixteenth of next month is a good day, and it's suitable for marriage.
Yu Jin put down the teacup in his hand, and said with a humble smile: "I will leave it up to you."
Yu Jin's cooperation caused the old man to heave a long sigh of relief, and he said with a hint of sadness in his voice: "Your mother still has all day to go, and it's almost been two months. In the end, it's still too lonely at home, it's better to add someone else.
The old man had just finished speaking when Wu Xia, who had just returned home, hurried over. Seeing the old man sitting on the sofa, he walked over with a bit of surprise, and said with a tone full of pleasant surprise: "Grandfather, why have you come?"
For some reason, the old man was especially fond of Wu Xia. After seeing Wu Xia return, the worry on his face had finally faded a lot. He said: "I have come to discuss your marriage with Yu Jin."
With that, Wu Xia stopped in her tracks and looked at Yu Jin. Seeing that Yu Jin did not refute, he sat down on one side and drank the cup of tea in his hand, then sat down.
She smiled and said to the old man, "Yu Jin has been so busy recently, so I don't mind about the marriage. After this period of time has passed …"
Wu Xia's understanding of the situation made the old man smile in satisfaction, and he immediately planned for her to say: "Regarding this matter, Yu Jin and I have already chosen our dates, and we will choose to meet on the sixteenth day of the next month. Ask them if they think it's appropriate. "
When Wu Xia heard the old man's words, she couldn't suppress the smile on her face. She looked at Yu Jin, and the tenderness in her eyes couldn't be hidden, and she obediently said to the old man: "Grandfather, my parents have no objections. You can make the decision."
Seeing that there were no objections from the two of them, the old man sent the servant to call Wu Family's parents.
When we arrived at night, the whole family went to meet Wu Family, but I was the only one who did not go, and the old man did not ask for me by name either.
Wu Xia and Yu Jin didn't return home until ten at night. At that time, I had already fallen asleep in my room, but after listening to the footsteps downstairs, I turned on the light and came out of my room. Standing on the second floor, I coincidentally saw Yu Jin and Wu Xia walking in from the outside.
Yu Jin should have drank some wine, so after he sat on the sofa, he went back to the kitchen and came out shortly after. After carefully feeding it to Yu Jin, Yu Jin leaned on it and didn't move. When Wu Xia wanted to touch him, Yu Jin put Wu Xia, who was on the sofa, into his arms.
After throwing out the bowl in Wu Xia's hand, it shattered on the ground and turned into pieces of porcelain.
She was knocked into Yu Jin's embrace just like that. The atmosphere in the living room seemed to have frozen, and for a long while, she didn't dare to move. Her face was completely red, and she was so close to Yu Jin.
Seeing her so nervous, Yu Jin could only chuckle softly, it was unknown what she was laughing at.
Wu Xia thought that he was laughing at her shyness, so she buried his head in her chest and grabbed onto his clothes with all her might.
After an unknown amount of time, Wu Xia raised her face again, with eyes filled with tenderness and Qiu Bo looked at Yu Jin, she moved twice, then timidly walked towards Yu Jin, when her lips were just a centimeter away from his.
Yu Jin suddenly said, "I'm still awake."
Because of Yu Jin's sudden words, he stopped moving. Her body froze, and after a long while, he seemed to have understood what he meant by that. He shifted his gaze to the second floor. When she saw me standing on the second floor, her face suddenly flushed red. With a loud cry, he pushed Yu Jin away in panic and fear, then hurriedly left his embrace.
Yu Jin looked at her shy back as she left and laughed. He then stood up from the sofa and walked upstairs. When he arrived in front of me, his gaze fell on my thin pajamas and took a look at my exposed arm.
He said, "I lost a lot of weight."
I turned to leave, but Yu Jin suddenly grabbed my wrist, and I turned to look at him.
He grabbed my chin and asked with a smile, "What, you're not going to talk to me yet?"
I looked at him expressionlessly.
He laughed. He didn't get angry, but let go of my hand and said, "Let's go inside. It's cold outside."
He finished his sentence. Instead of looking at me, he tugged at his tie on his neck and headed for the bedroom. His pace was steady and he wasn't drunk at all.
Not long after Yu Jin left, Wu Xia brought another bowl of hangover soup up from the kitchen. Seeing that I was still standing on the second floor's corridor, she slightly stopped his steps, his face red as he whispered: "Little Wei, you haven't rested yet?"
I said, "I'm going down for a drink of water."
Wu Xia immediately laughed and said, "The kitchen is warm, I just cooked it."
I said, "Thank you." He then walked down the stairs.
After that, Wu Xia did not bother with me anymore, and went straight to Yu Jin's room, but that night, she seemed to have never come out again. Early in the morning, when I had just descended from the second floor, I heard a servant conversing with Wu Xia who was trimming flowers on the sofa, and all of them said things like for Wu Xia to take note of during the next few days to keep her body warm and take care of her health.
Wu Xia was cutting the potted plants absentmindedly. Hearing the servant's words, she just kept quiet with a bashful face. After a long while, she whispered like a mosquito, "It's not as fast as you think. Last night, although we …" But it's said to take a few times to do that, and Yu Jin is so busy right now, I don't want to distract him at this moment. "Wait until we're married.
One by one, the servants smiled until they looked dubious as they said, "If something like that happens, then pregnancy is just a matter of the eyes. Madam, don't worry about it, didn't the old gramps already say so? I'm going to add someone to my family. "
