Marrying a disabled man in exchange for a bride, the fake daughter had two children in three years

They can talk about anything, but Su Yunxi is somewhat reserved when it comes to matters of the heart.

As a bystander, Ye Wanrou could only know what Su Yunxi wanted her to know and her personal understanding.

"What do you mean by that?" It was the first time Su Yunxi heard her say that.

Ye Wanrou said slowly, "Smart people like to think over and over again, taking one step ahead and thinking ten steps ahead. They're full of concerns, playing all kinds of games, and they're unwilling to lose face or admit defeat. They always have an excuse to make a phone call."

Su Yunxi, "..."

Ye Wanrou said, "When you're in a relationship, you can text and call whenever you want. If there's something wrong with a man, you can ask him questions whenever you want. Isn't that normal?"

Su Yunxi, "..."

Ye Wanrou raised her eyebrows, looking complacent. "Just tell me if I'm right!"

Su Yunxi laughed, "Of course what you said makes sense."

People with different personalities handle the same thing in different ways.

Ye Wanrou is sometimes careless, but she is also very thoughtful. Growing up in a single-parent family, she is more perceptive than children who grew up in a family with two parents.

But she didn't often show it to outsiders, not to mention with Chen Wanru and Ye Ci, Ye Wanrou's image of bad temper was established in the outside world.

Ye Wanrou was afraid that she would feel embarrassed, so she cleverly gave her a chance to be alone. "I'm going out for a walk. The room is too small, so it's better to go outside."

As soon as she left, everything became quiet.

Su Yunxi stayed quietly for a few minutes before dialing Mu Shiyan's number.

During the half minute she waited for him to answer the phone, Su Yunxi felt somewhat anxious and rehearsed in her mind how to start the conversation.

Mu Shiyan didn't say anything. Su Yunxi spoke first, "I saw Aunt Qiong. Actually, you didn't have to send Aunt Qiong over. I just have a slight cold."

"Are you calling me just to accuse me of meddling in your business?" Mu Shiyan said in a light tone.

"No, I just think it's too much trouble for Aunt Qiong," Su Yunxi said in a low voice.

Mu Shiyan could tell her voice was a little hoarse, "No trouble, I'll pay her more."

Su Yunxi was unable to respond and looked out the window at the dark night. "I understand."

When they first met, Mu Shiyan thought Su Yunxi was talkative and she tried to make excuses, but now he found that what she said about not being a talkative person was true.

Maybe she was talking less just to distance herself from him, and now she felt she had nothing to say to him?

Mu Shiyan's voice faded a little, "Have a good rest!"

Su Yunxi could tell he was about to hang up, and in a panic she made an excuse, "You asked Aunt Qiong to take care of me, so what will you do?"

Mu Shiyan laughed, his laughter so soft and almost imperceptible that it was unclear what the meaning was. "I don't lack people to take care of me."

Su Yunxi said sullenly, "Oh."

Mu Shiyan asked, "Su Yunxi, are you just trying to make conversation? Do you want to talk to me?"

Su Yunxi's heart skipped a beat, and she denied it weakly, "No."

Mu Shiyan simply said, "Oh."

Su Yunxi, "..."

There was silence again.

Mu Shiyan said, "I'm talking to someone outside, so I won't talk to you for now. Go to bed early."

Su Yunxi sighed secretly, "Okay."

Just a few words seemed to have taken a lot of effort.

I never knew it would be so difficult for two people to say a few words to each other. It seemed like there was a layer of awkwardness.

Su Yunxi let out a long sigh, feeling uncomfortable in her heart.

She really wanted to say something to Mu Shiyan. She wanted to talk to him and could say anything.

It’s like those delicate girls in love who just want to hear the other person’s voice.

She was no longer herself, which made her confused and uncomfortable.

……

Mu Shiyan did have an appointment with someone. After chatting with Su Yunxi, he returned to the box to continue discussing business.

It ended an hour later. On the way out of the box and towards the parking lot, I met Cheng Shuangxue.

Cheng Shuangxue wore a pink sweater with a white gauze long skirt, and her long hair was loosely tied on one side, looking gentle and cute.

"Shi Yan," Cheng Shuangxue greeted Mu Shi Yan with a bright and gentle smile.

"What a coincidence?" Mu Shiyan responded calmly.

"I'm here to eat with my friends," Cheng Shuangxue explained, then asked, "What about you? Are you here to discuss business?"

She asked the question even though she knew the answer.

Mu Shiyan nodded, "Yes."

"I heard those rumors. Did Miss Su misunderstand me?" Cheng Shuangxue asked worriedly.

"She is a sensible person. You have met before, so you should understand her," Mu Shiyan said casually.

"I don't want people to spread those gossips. It would make me feel even more guilty if it affected you," Cheng Shuangxue stared at him without blinking.

She looked sincere, concerned, and even a little ashamed.

"Don't think too much," Mu Shiyan comforted her lightly.

"It's so hard to control myself from having random thoughts!" Cheng Shuangxue sighed softly, and the sadness could not be hidden between her eyebrows.

It was like the rumors between them, and also like her feelings for him, she was filled with mixed emotions.

Mu Shiyan had an indifferent expression and remained silent.

"Would it be convenient for you to give me a ride?" Cheng Shuangxue asked proactively.

"I'll ask someone to arrange a car for you," Mu Shiyan said tactfully.

Cheng Shuangxue smiled bitterly, "Are you trying to avoid suspicion with me now?"

Mu Shiyan did not deny it, "Shuangxue, I'm already married!"

He reminded her more than once.

Cheng Shuangxue pursed her lips, "I know! If you get married, we can't even be friends anymore?"

Mu Shiyan said calmly: "When men and women are friends, there should be boundaries."

The implication is that although we are friends, we should avoid suspicion.

Cheng Shuangxue's voice was choked with sadness. "You are the one who avoided me. I don't mind you being hurt, but you didn't give me a chance."

Women may all like to dwell on the past, and even someone as smart as Cheng Shuangxue cannot escape it.

Mu Shiyan's expression didn't change much, and his voice was almost flat. "Shuangxue, I gave you a chance."

Cheng Shuangxue excitedly stepped forward and grabbed his hand, squatting on the ground and looking up at him, "I regret it, okay?"

It was a rare humble plea, she let go of her pride, as if she had given up completely and just wanted another chance.

Mu Shiyan pulled his hand out and held her wrist, staring at her with his dark eyes, "Shuangxue, no one will wait for you forever, look forward!"

He had already taken this step, but she was the only one who stayed where she was, arrogantly thinking that he would wait for her forever.

But the fact that he was getting married was like a bolt of thunder that struck Cheng Shuangxue. She wanted to see him and have a good chat with him, but he always avoided her.

Cheng Shuangxue felt embarrassed as if she had been slapped hard in the face by him. She stood up silently without saying another word.

She was already pretty, and now she looked so cold and broken after being hit so hard that she looked really pitiful.

But Mu Shiyan had no intention of comforting her. If he tried to comfort her at this moment, the harsh words he had just said would be a slap in his face.

After getting in the car, Lei Ming quietly observed Mu Shiyan through the rearview mirror. He asked curiously, "Are you serious about what you said to Miss Cheng?"

Can we really let go of the past and look forward?

Mu Shiyan felt the cool breeze outside the window, his mind clear, "Do I look like I'm not serious?"

Lei Ming smiled. "After all, it's a relationship that's lasted for over ten years. How can you just let it go? It wouldn't be so quick to switch your feelings to someone else, right?"

He didn't believe it completely, but what Mu Shiyan said about moving forward was true. Even if he didn't like Su Yunxi that much, he would not go back to accept Cheng Shuangxue.
