Quick Wear: Cousin, Come to the Bowl Quickly

"Xixi, are you okay?" A big hand tightly embraced Lin Xi's waist, and then a man's cold voice came from above her head, full of concern.

Lin Xi was held in Ye Huai's arms. When she looked up, she could only see his clear jawline. Her heart suddenly warmed. She shook her head slightly and said softly, "I'm fine. Why are you here?"

Ye Huai loosened his hand, pulled the person out of his arms, looked her up and down, and after confirming that she was fine, he breathed a sigh of relief and smiled. "Just now, I was pulled by that group of people and they insisted on forcing me to drink, so I found an excuse and slipped out. Why are you here?"

Of course, Lin Xi would not say directly that she came to stop him from meeting the heroine in order to prevent him from having an affair. She shook her head and said, "I didn't see you in the lobby just now, so I thought of looking for you in the lounge. I didn't expect that the dog bit Lu Dongbin. Assistant Li and I were kind enough to help, but we ran into a pair of weirdos and got bitten back."

Li Yue almost laughed out loud while listening to Lin Xi's sarcasm. She quickly agreed with her, "Yes, President, I thought the story of Mr. Dongguo and the wolf was fictional. I didn't expect that my wife and I would encounter it today." After saying that, she rolled her eyes and looked meaningfully at Lu Yanchen and Su Zimeng who had ugly expressions on the side.

Although Ye Huai didn't know what had just happened, when he came here, he saw Lu Yanchen trying to attack Lin Xi and the others. His face immediately turned cold, and he cast a sharp gaze at Lu Yanchen and the others, and asked bluntly: "I wonder what Mr. Lu wanted to do to my wife just now?"

Lu Yanchen looked grim. He regretted his move the moment he made it. Not to mention that the authenticity of Lin Xi and the other person bullying Su Zimeng was still debatable, the fact that a grown man like him wanted to attack two powerless women seemed very cheap. But now he was being set up. If he gave in now, it would be a disgrace to him as the president of Lu Corporation. So he could only bite the bullet and speak.

"You'll have to ask your wife about this. You're using your numbers to bully the few. What did you want to do to my assistant just now?"

Ye Huai looked at Li Yue after hearing this. Li Yue quickly explained the whole story in a concise manner. The more Ye Huai listened, the colder his face became. He held Lin Xi's hand tightly to comfort her, and then he said to Su Zimeng, who was pale behind Lu Yanchen, "Excuse me, Miss Su, is what my assistant said true?"

Ye Huai's eyes were as sharp as a knife, as if all the dark thoughts were exposed under his gaze. Su Zimeng met his gaze, her face suddenly turned pale, her body trembled slightly, and she silently hid behind Lu Yanchen, then she said hesitantly: "Yes, it's true."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yanchen's eyebrows jumped fiercely, and he clenched his fists. He looked back at Su Zimeng in disbelief. Su Zimeng felt very guilty under his captivating gaze, but her face was still weak and she said aggrievedly, "I, I just said that it was these two ladies who helped me."

Seeing her weak and unable to take care of herself, Ye Huai showed a hint of sarcasm on his face. He turned to Lu Yanchen and said, "As Miss Su said, my wife has a desire to help Miss Su, so I have to trouble Mr. Lu to explain what you wanted to do to my wife just now?"

Lu Yanchen felt like a joke, and he wanted to strangle Su Zimeng to death. But the most important thing now was to deal with the troubles in front of him. The Ye family and the Lu family were equally matched in strength and fame. Ye Huai, the head of the Ye family, was famous for his vengeance. He naturally couldn't make things too awkward, so after a moment of confrontation with Ye Huai with a frown, he still gave in and forced a smile, "Mrs. Zun helped me, so I stopped her naturally to thank her."

"Heh." Ye Huai snorted with an ambiguous meaning. "My wife has always been kind-hearted. She would even help rescue stray cats and dogs on the street. If Mr. Lu wants to thank you, there is no need."

He and Lin Xi were indeed a match made in heaven. Their speaking styles were exactly the same, both were equally sarcastic and merciless, and they went straight to Lu Yanchen and Su Zimeng opposite them, and their faces immediately became extremely ugly.

"Let's go, Xixi. I know you have a kind heart, but next time you see stray cats and dogs on the street, you must be careful to distinguish them, lest your kindness be backstabbed." Ye Huai didn't want to waste any more time with these two people, so he pulled Lin Xi past them and was about to leave.

"That's right, I don't know if you've had the rabies vaccine, how come you've become blind." Li Yue hurriedly followed, looking at the two of them with disdain.

When the group passed by Lu Yanchen and Su Zimeng, Lin Xi suddenly stopped for some reason. She slowly turned her head, her eyes as calm as water, and looked at Su Zimeng quietly.

The moment Su Zimeng met Lin Xi's gaze, her heart couldn't help but skip a beat and she suddenly felt guilty. However, she was unwilling to show weakness in front of Lin Xi, so she suppressed her inner panic, bit her lips tightly, raised her head and met Lin Xi's gaze, with a hint of stubbornness in her eyes.

But Lin Xi was in no mood to act with her anymore. She looked at her with cold eyes and slowly uttered two words, "Unlucky."

"You!" Su Zimeng was furious, but was quickly blocked by Lu Yanchen behind him. His face was also ugly, but he still gritted his teeth and took a step forward, wanting to argue with Lin Xi.

However, Lin Xi did not give him a chance. She turned her gaze to him and uttered the same two words, "Nervous." Then she pulled Ye Huai away.

----

On the way back, Li Yue was filled with indignation. "It was really a case of a dog biting Lu Dongbin. We were kind enough to help, but we met a couple of crazy husbands and wives. They didn't even understand the situation clearly, but they just started acting there. They really think they are the overbearing CEOs."

Seeing her angry face, Lin Xi wanted to comfort her, so she deliberately said jokingly: "If nothing else, he, Lu Yanchen, is really a domineering president."

Li Yue shook her head vigorously, as if she had thought of something dirty. "If someone like this can be the CEO, I think Lu's company is almost finished."

Lin Xishen agreed, and looked at Ye Huai beside him while holding back a smile. She gently pulled his hand and said, "President Ye, shouldn't you say, 'The weather is getting colder, and it's time for Lu to go bankrupt'?"

Ye Huai was drunk by the old men at the banquet. He was a little dizzy from the alcohol. After hearing Lin Xi's words, he smiled and hugged her into his arms, "Lu's family is a big family with deep roots. It's unlikely that they will go bankrupt overnight."

Lin Xi naturally knew that Lu's company would not go bankrupt overnight, and she was just joking. But seeing that Ye Huai was so uncooperative, she reached out and twisted his arm, snorted coldly, and turned her head away, as if she didn't want to pay any attention to him.

Ye Huai groaned, then pulled her shoulders over helplessly, and said with a low laugh: "Don't worry, he won't go bankrupt, but it's still possible to trip him up a bit."

Lin Xi turned her head and looked at the wicked smile on his face. She couldn't help but think of the plot in the original story. After the male and female protagonists got together, he set up a few traps for the male protagonist's company, which made Lu Yanchen, who had a strong male protagonist halo, feel helpless for a long time. She couldn't help but become curious, "What are you going to do?"

"Not angry anymore?" Seeing her curious look, Ye Huai couldn't help but scratch her nose with his hand. "I haven't thought about it yet. I'll tell you when I'm ready to make a move."

Lin Xi was satisfied now, and she did not feel guilty at all about her and the other's behavior of tricking the hero and heroine. After all, she had never been a kind person, and when faced with the hero and heroine who were truly glorious and upright in the small world, not only would she not interfere, she would even lend a helping hand occasionally.

But this time, although she had selfish motives, she did help Su Zimeng. She didn't expect that this man was a two-faced person. Lu Yanchen was also indiscriminate, just like he had a serious illness. She was really disgusted by the two of them. So when she saw Ye Huai being so considerate, her face suddenly turned from cloudy to sunny. She hugged him generously and kissed him with a sly smile, "Thank you, President Ye."

However, before Lin Xi heard the news about Lu's accident from Ye Huai, Old Master Ye called angrily.

At that time, Ye Huai was preparing dinner in the kitchen, and Lin Xi was curled up on the sofa watching a TV series. Suddenly, she heard the phone that Ye Huai had placed on the coffee table ringing. She took a look and saw that the caller ID was her grandfather, so she took the phone to the kitchen and handed it to Ye Huai.

Ye Huai was handling the seafood in his hands, his hands were wet and sticky. Seeing that he was inconvenienced, Lin Xi pressed the answer button, turned on the speaker, and picked up a piece of cucumber from the cut vegetables and stuffed it into her mouth. However, before she could swallow it, Grandpa Ye's roar suddenly came from the phone.

"Ye Huai! You bastard! I heard that you brought an underage girl to the company, and even told everyone at the banquet that she was your wife. Great, you have made it! You haven't been in a relationship for more than 20 years, and when you do, you cheat on a minor, right?"

Lin Xi was startled by Mr. Ye's sudden roar. The food in her mouth, which she had not yet swallowed, choked into her trachea and she started coughing violently. Ye Huai was startled and quickly took off his gloves and reached out to help her breathe.

After a long while, Lin Xi finally recovered. Ye Huai hurriedly handed her a glass of water, and took a tissue to wipe away the tears that flowed from her violent coughing. He helped her sit down on the sofa, and after making sure that Lin Xi was fine, he returned to the kitchen, picked up the phone, and closed the kitchen door.

Because of the door, Ye Huai lowered his voice, so Lin Xi couldn't hear what the two said. About half an hour later, Ye Huai walked out calmly and said to Lin Xi, who was worried, "Let's go back to the old house tomorrow. Grandpa misses us."

Lin Xi thought of Mr. Ye's roar just now, and was deeply suspicious of Ye Huai's words. Seeing her frightened expression, Ye Huai gave her a reassuring smile, "Don't be afraid, I have already made it clear to him, and we will just go back and have a simple meal tomorrow."

Lin Xi was still a little worried. After all, from her experience these days, although Mr. Ye was kind to the younger generation, he was an extremely traditional old man. She and Ye Huai were nominally cousins, and she was afraid that the old man would not be able to accept it for a while.

"Don't worry. No matter what grandpa asks tomorrow, just push it to me and he won't make things difficult for you." Seeing Lin Xi's uneasy look, Ye Huai thought she was afraid that Grandpa Ye would get angry, so his tone became even gentler and he reached out to pat her on the head.

"No, since I have decided to be with you, no matter what kind of doubts we face in the future, we should bear them together." Lin Xi held Ye Huai's hand, interlocking their fingers with his, her bright eyes seeming to be able to see into his heart.

"Ye Huai, we drank coffee that morning, not wine."

Ye Huai looked at her extremely determined expression, his pupils trembling slightly. Yes, they were drinking coffee, and the more they drank, the more awake they would become. So Lin Xi did not fall into his carefully woven trap because of his deliberate guidance, but jumped down voluntarily and sank with him.

……

The meeting with Mr. Ye was much more peaceful than Lin Xi had imagined. If one ignored the expression on his face when he looked at Ye Huai, which seemed like he wanted to beat him up, this family dinner could even be considered warm.

Compared to the gnashing teeth expression when facing Ye Huai, Old Man Ye was much gentler towards Lin Xi. Not only were the table full of Lin Xi's favorite dishes, but he also spoke to her in a soft voice. Such completely opposite attitudes made it hard for Lin Xi not to suspect that Ye Huai had said something to Old Man Ye after their conversation yesterday.

But seeing that although Mr. Ye was still a little upset, he no longer opposed the two of them being together, Lin Xi was too lazy to delve into what Ye Huai had said to Mr. Ye. She finished her lunch obediently, and then she and Ye Huai supported Mr. Ye on both sides to rest.

"Grandpa has prepared a room for you. Do you want to go and have a rest? We won't be back until tonight." Seeing Grandpa Ye rest, Ye Huai took Lin Xi upstairs, ready to let her have a rest.

"Will you come with me?" The two stood in the corridor. Seeing that there was no one around, Lin Xi smiled mischievously and teased Ye Huai, who had a cold expression in front of him.

"Okay." Ye Huai nodded without any hesitation.

"Hmm?" He agreed so quickly that Lin Xi was a little surprised. She thought that this person would say something like "It's not convenient in the old house" to refuse, but she didn't expect him to agree without hesitation.

"What's wrong?" Ye Huai didn't look closely at Lin Xi's expression just now, and when he saw her look of surprise, he was also a little confused.

"It's okay." Lin Xi shook her head, then smiled again, pointing to a milky white door and said, "But I don't want to go to another room to rest. Can we go to your room?"
