Mr. Sheng's Newly Married Mute Wife

Chapter 41 How long does it take for a person to fall in love with someone else?

"No! You have to take me with you! I will supervise you and will not let you do anything to betray President Sheng!" Jiang Xiaomei said without allowing any room for refusal.

Yan Liangqi laughed, poked her forehead, took a taxi directly to the company, and left her standing on the side of the road alone, jumping up and down.

Han Jinghua exclaimed in amazement after seeing Yan Liang's embroidery, and communicated with Yan Liang on the phone: "This is the first time I have discovered that embroidery can have such a stunning effect on a skirt. Last time in Fanjian, the pattern you embroidered on the skirt was not as eye-catching as this. This fabric? There seems to be silver thread hidden on it. Did you embroider it?"

Han Jinghua looked incredulous: "You even processed the fabric so delicately, and with these beautiful patterns, this skirt is simply a priceless masterpiece, the only one in the world!"

After saying that, he thought of something, frowned, and wrote a line of words on his mobile phone.

"The style is still the same as last time. Will it clash with Wang Qingwan's? She will be the first to complain."

Yan Liang smiled comfortingly and shook his head at her, telling her not to worry.

"Anyway, if she dares to frame you, I will expose her in public!" Han Jinghua said angrily, and clenched his fist, which made Yan Liang couldn't help laughing.

“What’s the theme of this series?”

"Half-tone mist."

"What a special name, very poetic and a little mysterious." Han Jinghua gave Yan Liang a thumbs up, "I hope you can finish it soon. I can't wait to see it."

When Yan Liang was quietly drawing the design, he received a message from Shang Zixuan, who asked him to have lunch with her, and Yan Liang agreed.

I sent a message to Shao Qianmin and asked her to go together, and Shao Qianmin readily agreed.

During lunch, Shang Zixuan held her hand, his loving eyes fixed on Yan Liang, and he kept picking up food for Yan Liang.

Shao Qianmin smiled and joked: "Auntie, you only have Yanliang in your eyes, I am just a background board, hahaha!"

Shang Zixuan smiled apologetically and served her some food: "Auntie is very happy that Yanliang can make a good friend like you. I will have to trouble you to take care of Yanliang in the future."

Shao Qianmin smiled and said, "Auntie, if you're worried, just put Yan Liang in your pocket!"

This sentence made everyone laugh. Shang Zixuan looked at Yan Liang lovingly and said, "If I could put it in my pocket, I would have done it a long time ago."

Yanliang was surrounded by the unbreakable family love, and in a trance he returned to the time when his mother was still alive.

Shang Zixuan was learning to speak in sign language, but his gestures were stiff and he could only make a few simple ones.

Yan Liang felt a sense of regret and wanted to tell her that he could actually speak, but when the words came to his lips, he couldn't say them. Was it because it had become a habit and he couldn't speak anymore?

Yan Liang felt a little suspicious and moved his tongue. It felt quite flexible. He decided to practice it secretly some other day.

"Yanliang, your father said that we will hold a grand party in a few days to announce your identity to the public." Shang Zixuan's lips were pursed into a line, as if she was trying her best to suppress her excitement. "Your father said that we must bring our son-in-law along. We didn't see him last time because you left in a hurry."

Yan Liang later found out that Wang Kaiye originally wanted to wait until the Mid-Autumn Festival to announce it to the public, but Shang Zixuan disagreed, saying that there was still nearly a month left and his daughter had suffered enough outside for so many years, so why should she keep it a secret for so long when she had already returned home.

Wang Kaiye thought for a moment before agreeing. In fact, the person he was really interested in was Sheng Boyan.

"Your father is one of the top real estate developers in Yancheng and has a great influence. He is a great help to your son-in-law. Son, I know you don't like your father, but we are family after all. With his support, Sheng Boyan's development will be much smoother." Shang Zixuan persuaded patiently.

Yan Liang nodded and agreed to take Sheng Boyan home, telling Shang Zixuan not to worry about them.

"Yanliang, I'll go that day too!" Shao Qianmin saw that Yanliang didn't look very happy, so she held Yanliang's hand and squeezed it, "I'll keep you company, don't worry."

Yan Liang looked at her gratefully, and a warm feeling surged in his heart.

After finishing their meal happily, Shang Zixuan and Shao Qianmin watched Yan Liang enter the company gate before leaving.

Yan Liang returned to the office and saw the message from Shao Qianmin: "Auntie Shang is here today, so it doesn't count. We have to make another appointment, just the two of us!"

The corners of his lips curled up slightly, and Yan Liang replied: "Okay, I will!"

Sheng Boyan didn't call until the end of get off work. Yan Liang glanced at An Jing's WeChat and thought that Sheng Boyan must be uncomfortable with what happened yesterday. He didn't expect him to be so petty.

Han Jinghua offered to take her home, but she declined and sat down to continue finishing her drawing.

Sheng Boyan, who was dubbed as "stingy-minded", was now sinking into a dark brown leather sofa. He gently rubbed his temples with his slender fingers holding a cigarette. His distinctive facial features seemed a little blurred in the swirling blue-gray smoke.

The private room of the "Accidental" bar was dimly lit. There were several bottles of red wine and whiskey on the rectangular table, and the rich aroma of wine floated in the air. The man opposite was sitting with his legs crossed, swiping his phone screen with his hand.

"Ayan, Wang Qinghai started developing the land in Koi Bay as soon as he signed it. I guess he had planned it long ago." Xie Yi said nonchalantly with his eyelids drooping.

"Well, what is it used for?" Sheng Boyan's voice was lazy, and his dark eyes were shining.

"Residential, haha, such a good prime location, surrounded by hospitals, schools, supermarkets and other supporting facilities, he is reluctant to use it for other purposes."

"Wang Kaiye does have good vision, but Wang Qinghai is just a fool." Sheng Boyan made a calm judgment, "Keep an eye on them, Wang Qinghai will not let us down."

"Yes, he has launched a bid for the construction team today. He is very impatient. The environmental impact assessment is expected to be completed within three days. He must have used connections." Xie Yi raised one corner of his lips in a cold manner.

Sheng Boyan's pupils became even deeper and deeper. He held a cigarette in his mouth, and his gaze was lost in thought.

He held a half-smoked cigarette between his bony fingers and tapped it twice on the brown crystal ashtray, letting the ashes fall into it. He then pressed the sparking cigarette butt to the bottom of the ashtray, crushed it, and then released it.

Xie Yi glanced at Sheng Boyan lazily and asked, "You seem to be in a bad mood today. What's wrong? Did your little wife make you angry?"

Sheng Boyan's expression froze, and Xie Yi immediately burst into laughter: "There are not many people and things in this world that can move you. It seems that I guessed right!"

"Tell me, what happened?" Xie Yi's narrow eyes flashed with gossip.

Sheng Boyan's expression seemed frozen, and he didn't care at all about his friend's interest.

After a long while, Sheng Boyan said in a hoarse voice: "How long does it take for a person to fall in love with someone else?"

Xie Yi pretended to think seriously for a while, then said with a sly smile: "If it were me, it wouldn't take even a second. If it were a sentimental person like you, you wouldn't be able to move an inch even in three lifetimes!"

Sheng Boyan's face suddenly turned as dark as if a torrential rain was about to pour down in the next second.

Xie Yi chuckled, poured himself a glass of whiskey, and drank it all in one gulp: "I say you are just asking for trouble. It's just a secret love, it would be great if it ended without any result, but you have to use all kinds of tricks to tie her to your side. If she is the same type as me, you don't have to worry about it here, but if she is as stupid as you, you will be in trouble!"

"Is there any way?" Sheng Boyan looked at his friend who was experienced in the love field, with a hint of expectation in his eyes.

Xie Yi glanced at him and crossed his legs: "Are you willing to listen to me?"

Sheng Boyan was silent. Xie Yi shook his head helplessly. "It's actually very simple. Just pounce on her! You must have heard that women are emotional and will fall in love with the man who has sex with her. But men can clearly distinguish between love and desire."

Sheng Boyan's graceful Adam's apple rolled with difficulty and he also poured a glass of whiskey. The spicy liquid went down his throat but did not dispel the stuffiness in his heart at all.

He snorted, looked up at the darkening sky outside the window, stood up and walked away.

Xie Yi knew that Sheng Boyan meant that he couldn't spit out ivory from a dog's mouth, so he said to the tall figure: "A rotten tree cannot be carved!"
