you are my chip

the other side.

"Go and call Shen Liyou over, and tell him that I have something to do with him." Ruan Wenyan took off his glasses and put them on the table, then turned to Xiao Liu and ordered.

"Ah?" Xiao Liu was obviously not scratching his head, Erbu asked in a daze, "Master, where are you injured?"

Ruan Wenyan rubbed his forehead, he almost forgot that Shen Liyou is a doctor.

"No, I have something to ask him." Ruan Wenyan waved his hand, urging Xiao Liu to go.

"It's a strange thing." When Shen Liyou rubbed his hands and walked in from the main entrance, he raised his eyes for a second time, as if he wanted to engrave this special moment in his mind, "Say, what do you want to know?"

"No hurry, let's have a cup of tea first." Ruan Wenyan poured the tea himself, sat on the side and stretched out his hand to make a "please" gesture, then watched Shen Liyou tremblingly come over and sit down.

Shen Liyou struggled for a while between whether Ruan Wenyan kindly invited me to drink tea or poisoned the tea to kill me, then put on a martyr's expression, raised his head and drank the tea made by Ruan Wenyan.

Not poisonous.

"Say something quickly, it makes me hairy." Shen Liyou touched his arm, as if he had been thrown into an icehouse in the cold winter months.

"Oh, just come and ask, is there anything about marrying a man in the capital now?" Ruan Wenyan asked casually, enough to make Shen Liyou fall off his chair.

"It's terrible," Shen Liyou supported herself with an elbow, "Could it be that you are..."

"No." Ruan Wenyan knew what he wanted to ask, and he vetoed it decisively. "I heard someone talking outside today, and I was a little curious."

Shen Liyou twitched the corners of her mouth, made up, and continued to make up.

If you are really interested and curious about this, you could have dug out all the things in the streets and alleys 800 years ago, and you are still waiting to call me over to find out?

But he was afraid that Ruan Wenyan would lock him in the room and kill him, so he wisely chose not to investigate further.

"Yes, indeed, there are quite a few, but... talking about male wives is a good way to say it. Basically, they are people from rich families. They get tired of playing with women and then marry a male concubine to go back to play," Shen said. Li You told everything he knew, although he didn't quite understand why Ruan Wenyan suddenly wanted to know about this, but he had to let Ruan Wenyan know the stakes, "Hey, you know that Young Master Song, right? The one next to Ning's house, just married a male concubine some time ago and went back. It is said that everything was kept simple when she married, and she didn't make much noise. Now, I heard that she was admitted to a private clinic in the past two days. It's almost gone..."

Ruan Wenyan didn't speak the whole time, just listened quietly, the corners of his mouth were drawn without a curve at all, he didn't know what he was thinking.

A person like Shen Liyou who can talk to anyone is naturally a friend from all over the world. It is not surprising that he can find out some things about the private clinic, but if it is as he said, the things are too miserable some.

I have long heard that the love story of this rich family is "nine times out of ten sad", but I have actually heard it, and it is two or three points more terrifying than imagined.

No, maybe this story isn't even a "love story".

"They all marry male concubines," Ruan Wenyan asked as if he had finally come to his senses, "Is there anyone who married male concubines?"

"How can it be?" Shen Liyou rolled his eyes, "Can a man have children? If there is no way to carry on the family line, how could it be possible to sit in the position of a wife."

Ruan Wenyan felt that he was awakened suddenly, he lowered his head and smiled, but didn't speak.

Yes, that's right.

In this case, there is a reason for everything.

Wanting to "marry a daughter-in-law who is as beautiful as a flower and jade" is fucking nonsense, it is nothing more than what happened to the people around him, which made Ning Qinghe also think about it.

No wonder.

It was his misjudgment.

Ruan Wenyan laughed so hard that Shen Liyou's heart shuddered, and he swallowed before slowly opening his mouth: "I still want to ask, who do you have a crush on?"

"No," Ruan Wenyan said slowly, like a poisonous snake baring its fangs, he licked his lips before slowing down the expression on his face, "I fell in love with a girl at Paramount today, but I didn't expect it to be a guy." .”

"At first I thought I could still have fun, but now that I think about it, it's really disappointing." Ruan Wenyan sighed regretfully, his expression so realistic that Shen Liyou couldn't tell the truth from the fake.

"Hey, you said you were so lucky that you finally got your fancy on a girl and even mistaked her gender." Shen Liyou breathed a sigh of relief. For a moment, he really worried that Ruan Wenyan would marry a wife if he didn't get one. The male concubine came in. Although the Ruan family is basically ruled by Ruan Wenyan, it is always bad to spread the word.

Fortunately, Ruan Wenyan was more measured than he thought.

His life seems to be following a planned route step by step, impartial.Shen Liyou has no doubt that feelings are nothing in Ruan Wenyan's eyes.

"Master!" Xiao Liu's voice followed the knock on the door.

"Come in."

"Master, the master said to invite you to his yard tonight and have a meal with the family." Xiao Liu's eyes were as if he had discovered a new world, and they were indescribably shining. He probably hadn't followed Ruan Wenyan in the past few years. There was a reason why Ruan Wentang sat and ate together.

"Oh." Ruan Wenyan wasn't too surprised, as far as Ruan Wentang and Fang Rong were concerned, it was impossible to surprise him so far, "When?"

"Master and Madam are already waiting in the yard, saying that they will have dinner after Ruan Wenyu finishes her homework." Xiao Liu replied in a nonchalant manner.

Ruan Wenyan nodded, not in a hurry, and slowly started to organize his clothes.

"Then I won't bother you anymore." Shen Liyou walked towards the window subconsciously after speaking, and it took two seconds to realize that he came in through the main entrance this time, and he didn't need to go out through the window, so he walked towards the window with his head held high. Go to the main entrance.

"No, you wait in the yard." Ruan Wenyan made a decision after a moment of thought, "Xiao Liu, listen to Dr. Shen's menu, and then prepare three sets of bowls and chopsticks."

"Huh?" Shen Liyou expressed that he was flattered by the treatment he received. Although he often had meals with Ruan Wenyan, it was basically Ruan Wenyan who decided what to eat, and he was just there to hang out.

"Ruan Wentang is probably not prepared to let me finish a meal safely, but I can't starve myself." Ruan Wenyan put on his glasses and pushed them when he walked out the door, that kind of bluffing bookishness came over his face again.

"Understood." Shen Liyou understood, and waved at Xiao Liu, "Come on, I'll give you the names of the dishes..."

----

When Ruan Wenyan arrived, Ruan Wenle and Ruan Wenyu had just taken their seats, and the timing was just right.

Ruan Wentang was sitting in the main seat, Fang Rong was holding a handkerchief on the left, and the seat on the right was reserved for Ruan Wenyan.

When Ruan Wenyan sat down, he happened to meet Ruan Wenyu's gaze. He turned his head and smiled slightly, but ignored it.

He didn't have any opinion on his half-brother, except that he thought that Ruan Wenyu was unlearned and incompetent.Aside from some of the things they have to carry, sometimes he even likes this younger brother, although he has no brains, but this is also an advantage.

Ruan Wentang sat at the main seat, didn't say anything, just understood that he picked up a piece of green vegetable with his chopsticks and put it into his mouth.

Ruan Wenle and Ruan Wenyu then picked up their favorite food with their chopsticks.

Ruan Wenyan remained motionless, but Fang Rong poured him a glass of wine very graciously.

He raised his eyebrows, feeling that the atmosphere of the meal seemed to be different from what he had imagined.

"Wen Yan," Fang Rong spoke, her voice sounded a little more coquettish than usual, and she knew it was deliberately pretending, "I heard from Wen Le that you ate with the second master today. After dinner, I went to Gille Street for a walk."

Ruan Wenyan now understands what it means to have a lingering soul.

"I'm just kidding, this is completely a coincidence." Ruan Wenyan didn't intend to touch his chopsticks or drink a sip of wine, and put his hands on his lap very neatly.

"Since it's a coincidence, it's fate." Fang Rong covered her mouth and smiled, as if she wasn't the one who looked down on Ruan Wenyan at all, "I was worried about the relationship between you and the second master, some things are really inconvenient to say, it's good now……"

"Mother." Ruan Wenle interrupted Fang Rong suddenly, Ruan Wenyan turned his head to look, and found that the girl was blushing from her ears to her ears, as if she had drunk two taels of liquor in one go.

Ruan Wenyan could guess what Ruan Wenle, or what Fang Rong wanted to say.

He suddenly felt weak.

It's not the kind of powerlessness that is powerless to parry, but the powerlessness that fate always makes fun of him and makes him run counter to the path he wants to take.

"Although there is no holiday, the second master and I only had one meal, and we are indeed unfamiliar." Ruan Wenyan calmly put Fang Rong's unfinished words back into his stomach, and by the way, cleared up the relationship with Ning Qinghe. Relationship—although he didn't know who he was doing it for.

"Whether you are familiar or not, it depends on the person." Ruan Wentang spoke, and what he said was not very friendly to Ruan Wenyan, but to Ruan Wenle and Fang Rong, it was a great support.

"Yeah," Fang Rong seemed to want to bring food to Ruan Wenyan, but Ruan Wenyan mercilessly blocked her back, her smile froze on her face, but it was probably because she still needed others, so she adjusted her expression and continued. He said, "If you help the Ruan family, don't you also help Wen Yan yourself?"

Ruan Wenyan seemed to be moved by the persuasion, his face softened a little, and he even echoed: "You are right."

Fang Rong was overjoyed, and before he could speak, Ruan Wenyan's arm was held by Ruan Wenle.

"Brother," Ruan Wenle hesitated, and finally said with a blushing face, "I, I want you to help me and Erye to create... opportunities."

"I, I really like Second Master..."

Ruan Wenyan always felt that every word was nailed to his heart, he suppressed his breathing, and his blood flowed continuously.

Everyone at the table—except for Ruan Wenyu, who didn't know the situation, was nervously waiting for Ruan Wenyan's answer.

"Really," Ruan Wenyan looked away from Ruan Wenle's face after a while, smiled lightly, and then patted Ruan Wenle's arm away, "Since I like it, of course I will create opportunities for you."

Fang Rong's expression could be called overjoyed, with a feeling of "my daughter will be Mrs. Ning's family tomorrow".

"Brother is so kind." Ruan Wenle happily bit his chopsticks, as if this matter had already been won.

It was as if Ruan Wenyan was Ning Qinghe's father and could directly help Ning Qinghe settle this matter.

Ruan Wenyan also had a smile on his face, but no one knew what he was laughing at.

"Since the matter is finished, I still have things to do, so I'm sorry." After Ruan Wenyan finished speaking, he ignored the crowd—probably still immersed in joy—and left directly.

----

"It's quite early." Shen Liyou circled the table excitedly, looking at the delicacies on the table, as if he had never seen anything in his life.

"After the dishes are served, open two more bottles of wine." Ruan Wenyan instructed Xiao Liu, sat down first, picked up the chopsticks and took a bite, the taste was really good.

"Why are you still drinking, are you in a bad mood?" Shen Liyou helped open a bottle of wine and put it in front of Ruan Wenyan, then sat down with Xiao Liu himself.

"Looking at the food on this table, my flesh hurts." Ruan Wenyan avoided the topic.
