Old Madam Xu impatiently said, "Don't worry about it. I've already asked about them all, ensuring their health. Don't worry about it too, hurry up and go." Do what you have to do, get drunk and help the young master to his room, do you understand? "
Could Sister Gui have any other choice? No, why do you think she had such a hard time? She actually met such a master, it was too much of a mess.
"..."
Just as Mrs. Xu had said, he was sitting alone in his study, looking at the map of the world on the table with a serious expression. Old Mrs. Xu knocked lightly on the door with a bowl of silver ear soup with special seasonings in it, pushing the door open as she entered. At that time, Xu Yiru seemed to be gesticulating something on the map.
Seeing this scene, Old Lady Xu felt even happier in her heart. She walked over with a smile on her face, bringing down the pot of warm silver ear soup as she asked caringly, "What are you doing?"
"It's nothing important. I'm just messing around." Xu Yiju replied calmly. He looked up and saw the bowl of boiling silver ear soup. "Looks like grandma is quite happy today. She even sent me a midnight snack."
Hearing this, Old Madam Xu felt a bit of pain in her heart, but she quickly calmed down, "That's right, I know you're busy as well and don't know how to take good care of yourself." Now we can say that she has a family, but her wife is still too young and doesn't understand how to take care of people. "
Xu Yiju paused for a moment, then raised his head. A hint of a smile flashed across his seductive and cold face. "Take it slow. What does a twenty year old girl know about this?"
With just that one sentence, Old Madam Xu was able to hear many special meanings within it. Why did this not sound like a husband talking about his wife, but more like an older brother commenting on his younger sister?
This is... Her heart felt slightly uncomfortable.
Previously, she had thought that she had overthought things. But now, it seemed that this was the truth.
"Huoru, did you and Little Dan get married because …"
Before she finished speaking, her gray eyes reflected a dazzling cold light. It was not terrifying, but it was enough to make her shut her mouth and not mention it.
Perhaps because he felt that he was making the atmosphere too tense, Xu Yiru smiled as he took the small porcelain bowl from the table. With his other hand, he picked up a spoon and tasted the silver ear soup. Grandma's craftsmanship for making the silver ear soup didn't lose out at all. It was still very delicious. I think it's pretty good. It's warm, and I want to drink this in the winter. After all, it's not easy to be alone. "
She looked at the bowl of silver ear soup which had become empty, then hurriedly took it over. At this moment, she felt as if something was stuck in her throat, "Yuru, you've already married Little Dan, and yet you're treating her nicely. She's still young, just over twenty years old."
Xu Yiju didn't say anything. He was silent for a long time before he came to himself. "Grandma, go back and rest first."
"Mm …" You should go back to bed early and not stay up late. That would ruin your body. " Old Lady Xu said with concern. Hearing some of his words, she had actually forgotten her purpose in coming here.
Xu Yiju smiled and said, "Okay."
Then, Old Lady Xu walked out of the study with the empty bowl in her hands. When she was on the corridor, she bumped into Aunt Guiyi, who was sneaking around with an expression on her face.
It was only when she got closer that Old Madam Xu's expression did she notice that something wasn't right, "Old Granny, why is your complexion so bad? Did something happen?" Then, an extremely terrified expression appeared on his face. "Could it be that young master knows about it? Then what should we do now?"
When Old Lady Xu saw this, she flew into a rage and showed the empty bowl to her. "Didn't you already drink it?" "Everything's going well. What about you, are you drunk?"
Only then did Aunt Gui's heart calm down. She said excitedly, "That's good, I don't have any problems with that. To be honest, Eldest Young Mistress really doesn't have any thoughts at all. I just told her a lie and she got drunk. Now she's lying in the young master's bedroom."
Old Madam Xu smiled sinisterly as she muttered, "Looks like everything has been prepared. We just need to wait for the two of them to meet. Alright, let's hurry up and go to sleep as well. We'll see what happens tomorrow."
Sister Gui yawned and nodded her head.
"..."
Xu Yiru didn't return to his room until almost ten o'clock. He walked to his room and opened the door. The aroma of alcohol wafted into his nose. He frowned and lit up all the lamps in the room.
There was a woman lying on the bed in his bedroom. She was still wearing her long white dress, which showed off her white and beautiful ankles, which was so moving, and she slept so sweetly, but why didn't he think it was real?
He walked up to her.
He did not know when he had arrived, but perhaps it was because the bed was too big, perhaps because it was too small. But she slept in it like a newborn baby.
He sat on the edge of the bed and reached out his hand to stroke the outline of her face, the tip of her nose, the cherry red lips. At this moment, his hand no longer dared to move.
The person on the bed had a feeling towards this kind of touch, and a soft sound came out. Immediately after, her pair of bright eyes that were as clear as the bottom of the sea slowly opened, as she muttered, "Water, water …" "Drink water."
As she spoke, she got up and hugged the man as tightly as a fairy in the sky. Her head was resting on the man's firm chest, and she was coquettishly saying that she wanted to drink water.
Xu Yiju naturally wrapped his arm around her waist, and gently lifted her hair behind her ears, saying, "Let's play a little game first, then we can drink water, shall we?"
"Mm, the game …" "What game …" The eyes of the person in his embrace were blurred.
Xu Yourong lightly pushed her waist forward. Then, looking at the expression on her face, a blush rose up, as if her consciousness was still unclear. He tried to ask her, "Do you know who Mu Hanyu is?"
"I know!"
"Do you love him?" Xu Yiru asked.
The girl seemed to be thinking, her eyes were already closing, but she was still holding on. "He saved me, I'll definitely love him …" But... He's going to marry someone else... And the baby... I can't love, I can't … "
"Then why did you stop the lawyer from telling the truth, the night before the trial?" Actually, this was not the first time he had asked this question. However, she did not say the reason, and instead declined.
At this moment, the girl no longer had a smile on her face, and the hand she was holding on to him gradually relaxed. No... I can't say... I don't want to talk about it anymore … I won't tell anyone, I won't tell anyone. "
He lowered his head and approached her. The distance between them allowed them to smell each other's breath. "Tell me, I won't tell anyone else. Can we guard this secret together?"
"Really?" The girl's eyes were shining.
"Really."
"Yes, I promise."
"Alright, then I'll tell you, you can't tell others. I love him dearly, how sad would he be if he knew that the woman he loves is that kind of woman …" So, I think it's no big deal for me to go to jail. As long as he's happy, he'll look really good when he laughs. Have you ever seen that? "
Xu Yiyu didn't expect her answer at all. No wonder he asked her this question last time. She said it was because she really loved Mu Hanyu.
Perhaps from the very beginning, she had been prepared to bear it alone.
"Xu Yiru …" she cried coquettishly.
"Hmm?"
"Water... "Drink water …"
The girl behind him hugged his waist tightly. He looked down and saw a pair of white hands, which looked very different from his black shirt.
He gently caressed her hand and said, "I don't like Mu Hanyu anymore. Let me introduce you to a better man."
"How about you? I think you're great. Every time I drink too much, you'll come take care of me …" "You even poured me some water to drink …"
Xu Yiru's face turned ugly. "I can't …" "As for the other men …"
"Oh …" The girl only said one word, but the disappointment was obvious, and at the same time the hands that were holding him relaxed.
Xu saw that the hand on his waist had loosened, so he stood up to pour some water. When he came back, he handed the girl a cup of cold water and said, "Drink it!"
The girl did not make any noise or make any inappropriate movements. She took the water and gulped it down before narrowing her eyes. "This water doesn't taste as good as the one last time …"
Xu Yiru ignored that and put the empty cup on the table. He pulled the quilt away and carefully helped the drunk girl lie down. "Don't go back to sleep today. You don't know the bed?"
She laughed and shook her head. "No."
Xu Yiyu also revealed a smile and reached out his hand to rub her smooth and delicate face. "I'm going to take a shower, you go to sleep first."
"Mm …" The girl was lying on the bed, nodding and smiling as she answered.
He looked completely different from his usual self, just like two different people. At this moment, a strong and unyielding face appeared in his mind, and his eyes were clear yet seemed to be burning with fire. He couldn't help but laugh, "You who drank too much, are really cute."
"Hmm?" The girl replied in a daze as she laid under the quilt.
