Xu Yan quietly poked his head out of the room and saw Gu Chuman sitting upright on the sofa. He quickly retracted his head: "Why did she come to our house?"

Xu Shuyao shrugged: "I saw it when I went downstairs to throw garbage."

"Then you bring the person up?" Xu Yan scratched his head: "Mom, you are too unprincipled."

Xu Shuyao was silent for a moment and said, "It's so embarrassing for me to be alone outside. You come out and be with me."

"Then I am... wouldn't it be even more embarrassing?" Xu Yan shook his head: "I won't go out."

Xu Shuyao grabbed him: "Where is the promised to protect me?"

"Have she bullied you?" Xu Yan asked.

"No."

"Then she didn't bully you, how can I protect you?" Xu Yan hugged his chair and was unwilling to stand up: "If she bullies you, I will definitely be the first to rush forward!" He could beat him up without any psychological burden.

Ye Qichen, then he can't go up and beat his fucking mother.

That might be really struck by lightning.

"Your relationship seems to be pretty good." Gu Chuman's voice came from the door.

Xu Shuyao was stunned, quickly let go of Xu Yan's sleeve and frowned: "You..."

"I think you haven't come out for so long." Gu Chuman said with apologies.

Xu Shuyao quietly pinched Xu Yan and stepped forward and said, "It's okay, let's go to the living room to talk."

Sitting back on the sofa, Gu Chuman seemed to have found the topic, and she whispered: "I just saw you getting along with your younger brother... Your stepmother should be good to you."

Xu Shuyao: "..." I don't know where she heard about stepmother, but she didn't plan to explain these things clearly, just nodded: "Yes."

"I'm not a competent mother." Gu Chuman laughed softly: "It's right that you don't forgive me."

Xu Shuyao was silent.

There seemed to be nothing to say between the two. Gu Chuman also clearly felt his daughter's indifferent attitude.

She stood up and said with a smile: "Thank you for your hospitality, and thank you for your willingness to see me." She planned to leave.

Xu Shuyao also stood up: "No need to thank you."

She sent Gu Chuman out of the house. When she stood at the door, Gu Chuman suddenly turned around and said, "By the way, if your boyfriend wants to choose a partner, don't choose Li Zhetao."

Xu Shuyao: "??" What kind of advice is this?

While Xu Shuyao was stunned, Gu Chuman looked at her with a loving look and said softly: "Yaoyao, mom is gone." Then she turned slowly and walked into the elevator without looking back.

Xu Shuyao held the door handle and felt a little uncomfortable.

Did she say such words to her young self one day more than ten years ago, and then left without looking back?

Ye Qichen went to Japan for more than a week on a business trip, and came back the day before the Chinese Valentine's Day.

As soon as he came out of the airport, he called Xu Shuyao and asked her to go to his apartment to wait for him to get home, and he would give her a gift.

Xu Shuyao happily prepared to go back to the room to change clothes. Xu Yan followed her and asked, "Where are you going?"

"Your dad is back, I'll go find him." Xu Shuyao opened the wardrobe and gestured in front of Xu Yan while answering: "Ayan, look, do I look good in this outfit?"

"It looks good." Xu Yan nodded: "Then I'll go too!"

"No!" Xu Shuyao glared at him: "Are you going to be a light bulb?"

"Why is it just a light bulb?" Xu Yan was dissatisfied: "This is an important moment for our family of three to reunite!"

Xu Shuyao: "But your father only invited me, not you."

Xu Yan: “…”

Xu Shuyao stood on tiptoe and patted his head: "Be good, go play games, mom is going to change her clothes."

Xu Yan: "Ha, woman, she values ​​sex over child!" He is becoming increasingly unable to control his mother now!

Xu Shuyao's face turned slightly red: "What do you mean by color and not by me? I'm just going to receive gifts."

Xu Yan turned around and walked towards his room: "What else are you explaining? The rippling expression on your face has betrayed you."

Xu Shuyao touched her face. Is her expression really so rippling?

After changing his clothes, Xu Shuyao sat in front of the dressing table again, put on makeup, dressed up beautifully, greeted Xu Yan, and went out.

She had the key to Ye Qichen's apartment and took a taxi to his house, but he hadn't come back yet.

Xu Shuyao sat on the sofa waiting for him, nervous and expectant.

This feeling is a bit like, a small separation is better than a newlywed?

Bah bah bah bah bah!

Xu Shuyao quickly got rid of the abnormal thoughts in her mind. They were not married, so where did they get better than the newlyweds?

It’s all Xu Yan’s fault, which makes her feel that she has been married to Ye Qichen for many years.

There was a sound of the door opening at the door, and Xu Shuyao suddenly stood up and greeted him.

The moment Ye Qichen opened the door, he felt a figure rushing towards him. He subconsciously threw away the things in his hand and hugged the person in his arms.

It is the familiar fragrance on her body.

He hugged her tightly in his arms, raised his hand and held her waist and said, "If you hold me like this, it will be difficult to carry things."

Xu Shuyao buried her head between his neck: "Then I don't want to let go, either."

Ye Qichen nodded: "Okay, hug it tighter."

As he said that, he slowly let go of Xu Shuyao.

She hugged him like a koala like a big tree.

Ye Qichen squatted down gently, picked up the things on both sides of his body again, and brought the things and Xu Shuyao into the house together.

The moment he brought the door, Ye Qichen threw down the things in his hand again and gently pressed Xu Shuyao against the wall of the entrance hall.

He held her waist with one hand and hooked her chin with the other, and looked up slightly at her: "Do you miss me?"

Xu Shuyao nodded: "I want to."

He curled his lips, and the dim light in the room set the atmosphere right now. His firm outline was particularly soft at this time, and there seemed to be some emotions in his eyes, which were restrained by him, but those undercurrents made the feelings that made him feel so surging.

She was particularly moved.

Xu Shuyao only felt that her heartbeat was about to shake her eardrums. With her mouth and tongue dry, she gently licked her dry lips.

Ye Qichen's gaze fell on her lips, her eyes suddenly darkened, and the Adam's apple rolled slightly.

She raised her hand and hugged his neck, lowered her head and closed her eyes. Without hesitation, he pressed her head and kissed his lips.

This is a mint-flavored kiss, with a hint of sweetness and coolness.

It was not until he ate all the lipstick on her lips and kissed it a little red and swollen, and left slightly.

She pursed her lips gently, as if she was savoring, and asked in a low voice: "Have you eaten gum?"

Ye Qichen nodded with a low smile: "Well, I quit smoking. When I wanted to smoke, I ate gum."

She raised her hand and hugged him tightly, whispered in his ear: "Next time, you can try eating strawberry-flavored chewing gum."

Ye Qichen's arm suddenly tightened, and his big hand couldn't control his pinched her slender waist, and finally said in a muffled voice: "Okay, I can do whatever I want."

She pounded his shoulder lightly and quickly changed the subject: "What gift did you bring to me?"

She gently put her down from her arms, bent down and lifted up the suitcase on the ground: "Go and go to the sofa to see."

He brought Xu Yan the game console he wanted and a full set of figures. He brought Xu Shuyao and Mrs. Ye a full set of cosmetics and skin care products, in short, it was quite complete.

"I like it." Xu Shuyao smiled and said, "Why are you so good at choosing gifts?"

"Of course I have to take care of my wife," Ye Qichen said, reaching out to hold her cheek and kissing her again. "Tomorrow is the Chinese Valentine's Day, I will come back specially. This is the first Chinese Valentine's Day since we were together.

”

Xu Shuyao raised her hand and hugged him: "Then what gift do you want for the Chinese Valentine's Day?" She had no idea about the Chinese Valentine's Day. Now she should be ready.

Ye Qichen looked at her deeply, moved his throat, but just held her tightly in his arms without answering her questions.

At this moment, Xu Shuyao's phone suddenly rang. She hurriedly went to her bag to find her cell phone. It was an unfamiliar number. After answering, she heard the other party ask: "May I ask, is it Miss Xu Shuyao?"

"I am, who are you?"

"This is from the Honghu Town Police Station. This afternoon, a lady committed suicide in front of your grandfather's tombstone. Some villagers recognized it. It may have something to do with you. Can you come here to claim the body now?"

Xu Shuyao: “…”

Seeing that her expression was wrong, Ye Qichen asked quickly: "What's wrong?"

Xu Shuyao was still stunned. The cell phone in her hand suddenly dropped. Ye Qichen took it and his expression became solemn when he heard what was said on the phone.

"Just...on the phone..." Xu Shuyao asked panic: "Why is that person talking about suicide..." It was still in front of grandpa's tombstone...

Ye Qichen held Xu Shuyao's shoulder and said in a deep voice: "Don't panic, there is still time now, I'll take you to see it." It took only more than an hour to drive to Honghu.

"good……"
