The eldest lady became popular in the farming variety show

Old Master Yan opened the pear wood box and took out a scroll.

The scroll slowly unfolds, revealing a freehand painting of a water lane, signed with the seal of contemporary painter Qiu Qian.

“This painting is so rare.”

Old Master Yan said in surprise, "Sister Xi, last time at the villa outside Beijing, I praised the charm of this brushwork. I didn't expect your grandfather to remember it and send this painting to you."

Jiang Hexi said politely: "Grandpa Yan, as long as you like it."

"I love it so much."

Old Master Yan smiled from ear to ear and immediately told the housekeeper, "Hang this painting on the wall of the study. I will see it every time I look up when I sit behind my desk."

The butler agreed with a smile and walked out with the painting.

Yan Zhongqing asked, "Dad, do you remember what was hanging on the wall opposite the desk?"

Old Master Yan said indifferently: "I don't care what it was before. Anyway, what is hung now is the water lane that Sister Xi gave me."

“It’s a painting of flowers and birds from Toyama.”

Yan Zhongqing looked at him expressionlessly and said, "This is still a birthday gift I spent a huge amount of money to give you."

Father Yan and Ms. Chu looked at each other and laughed.

Yan Jie poured a cup of tea and took the initiative to pass it to Yan Zhongqing, saying provocatively:

"Uncle, your position in Grandpa's heart has changed. Don't you have any idea?"

"nonsense."

Jiang Hexi slapped Yan Jie on the back of his hand, said something reproachful to him, then turned around and smiled at Yan Zhongqing:

"Second Uncle is envious of Grandpa Yan for having new paintings, but he is always the one who sends them."

She cleverly changed her logic and said, "It's not difficult to solve this problem. I can pick another painting from my grandfather's calligraphy and give it to my second uncle."

Yan Jie and Yan Zhongqing spoke at the same time:

"How can he be so embarrassed?"

"Why are you so embarrassed?"

Jiang Hexi grabbed Yan Jie's hand and put it into his palm, signaling him to shut up:

"There are so many paintings in grandpa's study that there is no place to hang them. I gave them to my second uncle. The painting has found a wise owner."

Yan Zhongqing looked at Jiang Hexi with a smile, nodded and said, "Sister Xi, I won't be polite with you. I have something to give you later."

Old Master Yan called Mrs. Zhang from the kitchen and asked when dinner would be ready. Then he said to Jiang Hexi:

"Dinner will be ready in half an hour, Sister Xi, please stay and eat with me."

"Grandpa Yan, my grandpa and I have agreed to go back for dinner, so I won't disturb you this time."

"Since we are here, we can't leave without having dinner."

Mr. Yan took out his cell phone and called Professor Zhou.

Seeing that she was about to be exposed, Jiang Hexi tried to stop him, but Yan Jie held her hand tightly, and she was in so much pain that she dared not make a sound.

"Old Zhou, Ximei is here with me. I want to keep her for dinner before she leaves."

"The whole family is here. My eldest son and daughter-in-law heard that Ximei was coming, so they rushed back home."

"There's nothing to be embarrassed about. We are all family."

"I won't be polite with you this time. I'll make it up to you later. I'll ask Ajie to send Ximei back later."

After Mr. Zhou hung up the phone, he said cheerfully, "Sister Xi, Old Zhou promised you to stay for dinner."

"Thank you...Grandpa Yan."

Jiang Hexi concealed the panic on his face and smiled very warmly.

Grandpa will definitely not let her go when she returns, and might even punish her according to family rules.

She suddenly didn't dare to go home.

"I have something for Sister Xi, Grandpa, Mom, Dad, and Second Uncle. I'll excuse myself first."

Yan Jie stood up and pulled Jiang Hexi towards the backyard.

The rocks and green plants in the courtyard complement each other. On the thick carpet are placed pear wood coffee tables and chairs. The scenery changes as you move around. Through the antique window lattices, you can glimpse the beautiful crabapple trees in full bloom.

Yan Jie took Jiang Hexi's hand and went straight to the second floor.

He pushed open a carved door and pushed her against the white wall as soon as he entered.

The entire second floor was his suite. The four lattice doors facing the balcony were all open, the automatic curtains were opened, and the gauze curtains were slowly closed, but they still couldn't block the restless wind outside.

Yan Jie leaned against Jiang Hexi's forehead and asked her in a lingering tone:

"How long?"

——How long has it been since we had sex——

His hand slipped under the hem of her shirt, and she could clearly feel the roughness of his fingertips, the burning warmth of his palm, and the veins on the back of his hand bulged, forming a sexy curve.

"One hour?"

What she wanted to say was that after getting off the SUV, when his big hand covered her, she quickly changed her words:

"Five...sixteen days."

Yan Jie didn't expect that she usually looked inconspicuous, but actually... No wonder when he hugged her, it felt like hugging a cloud, which was incredible.

His breath hit her face heavily. "Sixty-three days, or maybe it's unprecedented."

Yan Jie leaned against her neck, bent down and kissed her, giving her an intimacy she had never experienced before.

There is a beauty couch facing the door in the suite, a rosewood coffee table in front of the couch, a thick Persian carpet on the floor, and antique shelves on the side displaying collectibles and porcelain. The partition is a study, and inside is the bedroom.

The phone on the bedside table rang, just once, and then politely fell silent again.

Yan Jie pressed her against the pillow and kissed her passionately, calling her in a low, hoarse voice:

"Xibao——"

Jiang Hexi took a breath and said clearly, "My family... is downstairs... urging us—"

Yan Jie kissed the pulsating blood vessels in her neck and said angrily, "I might as well bite you to death."

After he said this, he got up from her and went outside to the living room to sit quietly and calm down.

Jiang Hexi pulled the bed sheet to cover her body, picked up the clothes that fell on the ground, and hurried to the bathroom.

Five minutes later.

Yan Jie leaned against the bathroom door and watched her put on makeup in front of the mirror.

"Is this what you call fake natural makeup?"

"I have hydrated skin, and I need to maintain it all the time to keep it hydrated and glowing."

Jiang Hexi was applying concealer to her neck, clearly covering up the kiss mark, but she was talking nonsense:

"It's not fake natural makeup. You won't understand it anyway. Just support me in my beauty regimen."

"support."

Yan Jie thought for a moment and added, "Strong support."

When the two went to the front yard to eat, they were ten minutes late.

A circle of people sat around the dining table. Yan Jie pulled out a chair and asked Jiang Hexi to sit first. He then brought the matter to a close with just one sentence:

"My phone was on vibrate mode, so I didn't hear the call from grandpa."

Everyone smiled and said nothing.

Jiang Hexi didn't know if it was because of her psychological problems, but she felt that those laughs were a bit indulgent.

It's like condoning them to do bad things.

Her mood was extremely complicated and she ate the entire dinner very carefully. After leaving the courtyard and breathing the fresh air outside, she felt liberated.
