Chapter 31

Jerry from Tom and Jerry

The conversation heated up in an ambiguous atmosphere, and the atmosphere between the two became strange.

Yan Xu lowered her head and poked at the cream on the surface with a cake fork, her mind in turmoil.

Some things, once the paper on a window is torn, are very difficult to undo.

Crossing the line means the start of a high-stakes gamble; if you lose, you become a victim of your marriage; if you win, everyone is happy.

But......

Yan Xu's impression of marriage since she can remember is all about arguments, infidelity, and unhappiness. She doesn't dare to gamble on something that no one around her has ever succeeded at.

The two remained silent, waiting for her to make a statement.

As long as she agrees, he will never let her go, no matter what she says in the future.

To keep her by your side forever, or for him to stay by her side forever.

"No." The previously pink and bubbly atmosphere turned serious. Yan Xu's face was stern. "Someone will be your boss's wife in the future, but that person won't be me."

She's a coward when it comes to relationships; she's afraid to take risks.

Shen Yi was amused by her and thought for a long time before coming up with this answer.

Shen Yi let out a long breath, trying to calm himself down: "You really are the most stubborn person I've ever met, both in words and heart."

Yan Xu was annoyed by these words and went along with them, saying, "Then you can go find someone else who is soft-hearted and has a soft tongue. I will cooperate with the divorce and explain to her that nothing happened between you and me."

"You really do know how to say the most hurtful things." Shen Yi noticed that she was taking out her temper on him. Why didn't she usually say such sarcastic things to the people at Zhenyunxuan?

Being favored and therefore fearless is probably how Yan Xu is now.

Taking advantage of his unconditional obedience, she became increasingly demanding and deliberately hurt him.

Shen Yi put down his cake fork, crossed his arms on the table like a parent, and said seriously, "Yan Xu, do you know what you look like right now?"

Yan Xu was confused: "What?"

Shen Yi: "Jerry from Tom and Jerry."

Yan Xu didn't understand: "Why?"

Shen Yi leaned back in his chair: "Taking advantage of the fact that Tom wouldn't actually catch her, she kept provoking him, taking advantage of him."

He spoke the last sentence very slowly, emphasizing each word as if afraid she might miss it.

Yan Xu pouted and defended himself: "I didn't, and... you're the rat."

After saying that, she got up and went back to her room with a long face.

The person who was actually rejected wasn't angry yet, but the one who was being treated like royalty was.

This world is so unfair.

Shen Yi sighed and silently tidied up the remaining cake on the table, complaining, "You just take advantage of how much I spoil you and bully me. What if I really leave one day? Let's see who can spoil you more than me."

He spoke very softly, and Yan Xu didn't hear a word he said in the room.

She took off the hairpin from her hair and put it in the jewelry box, rubbing it back and forth with her fingertips.

"What a waste of this gift, it's so beautiful." Yan Xu put it in the back of the drawer and hid it away. "My old hairpins suit me better."

I don't feel guilty about wearing it.

In the following days, Yan Xu deliberately avoided Shen Yi. When she heard Shen Yi wake up from his nap on the sofa, she would wait until he left the room before she went out of the bedroom.

When she arrived at Zhenyunxuan, she tried to stay in the backyard so that Shen Yi wouldn't see her in the hardware store.

It really gives off a feeling of Jerry hiding from Tom.

But this ability to avoid [something] was broken on the day Xiao Jingxing left.

Xiao Jingxing packed his luggage and dragged his suitcase to the front desk to check out: "Xiao Xu, are you sure you don't want to come back to Kunming with me? We can start a business together to revitalize your grandfather's assets."

Yan Xu shook his head: "Brother Jingxing, I don't want to think about these things right now. As long as Grandpa's patent is still in my hands, it won't collapse. Don't worry, I will consider what you said carefully."

She admitted that she was attached to everything in Yunzhao County, and now she wanted to stay here longer, much longer.

Seeing that she had made up her mind, Xiao Jingxing didn't press the matter further: "Okay, I'll wait for your news."

Yan Xu saw Xiao Jingxing off as he drove away.

With a lollipop dangling from his mouth, Shen Yi watched the two talk and then hug. His jealousy was so intense that it made his teeth itch.

She's very good at hugging other people, but she's never once seen hugging her own husband on her own initiative...

Shen Yi threw away the lollipop and stormed to the entrance of Zhenyunxuan.

He stood at the doorway with his hands on his hips, but didn't go in.

Because he's angry.

Xiao Tong saw Shen Yi and immediately walked over: "Brother-in-law, come in! What are you doing standing at the door?"

Shen Yi gestured with his chin, "Help me call her out; I need to talk to her."

Xiao Tong turned around following his gaze and saw Sister Yan Xu tending to the flower beds in the backyard: "Wait a moment, I'll go call Sister Yan Xu right away."

backyard.

Yan Xu took the scissors and trimmed the plants. The temperature difference between day and night in Yunzhao County is very large, which is very suitable for planting flowers and grass.

"Sister Yanxu!" Xiaotong ran over and grabbed her, pulling her outside. "Your brother-in-law is looking for you at the door."

Yan Xu frowned, thinking he had misheard: "What's he doing standing at the door?"

To be a door god?

Yan Xu was forcibly dragged to the door by Xiao Tong.

The two looked at each other.

Yan Xu had been avoiding him for several days, and it was a little awkward when they suddenly met.

Shen Yi crossed his arms and questioned, "Did Xiao Jingxing just tell you to go back to Kunming?"

Yan Xu nodded: "Yes, I've said it several times."

But she chose to stay and not go with him.

Thinking of this, Shen Yi's jealousy lessened considerably: "Then why don't you leave? Is it because you can't bear to part with the people here?"

Yan Xu thought for a moment and said, "I really will miss Xiao Tong and Aunt Chen."

Only Xiaotong and Aunt Chen are locals from Yunzhao County in Zhenyunxuan; Yan Zheng, like them, is from out of town.

Shen Yi felt a tightness in his chest: "Who asked you about Xiao Tong and Aunt Chen? Don't avoid me anymore, I won't talk about those things again."

Since Yan Xu doesn't like it or accept it, then he will change it.

If she doesn't want to be the proprietress, then he can be the proprietress of Zhenyunxuan.

Yan Xu had long wanted to break the deadlock, but he was too proud to speak up.

Since Shen Yi had offered her a way out, she naturally accepted his kindness: "Okay, I won't hide anymore."

On the very night they reconciled, Shen Yi returned to his rented apartment early to prepare a large table of dishes for Yan Xu.

Even if we don't say it, we still have to do it.

When Yan Xu returned home, a delicious aroma of food wafted through the air.

Since her anorexia was cured, her sense of smell and appetite have improved a lot.

Her figure is also fuller than before, with the flesh all in the right places, and her body lines are more graceful.

She put down her bag and walked to the kitchen doorway: "Your cooking skills are now comparable to mine."

Shen Yi was preparing the last dish: pork rib and lotus root soup.

"Go sit down, it'll be ready soon." Shen Yi shooed her towards the dining table, "Girls shouldn't go into the kitchen."

He recently saw online that kitchen fumes are very harmful to women's skin, but men's skin is thicker, so the damage is less.

He can tolerate the fumes, but Yan Xu cannot.

The last soup was successfully served, and the restaurant was filled with the warmth of a young couple who had just started a family.

As Yan Xu picked up some food, she asked him, "How long do you plan to stay in Yunzhao County?"

Shen Yi picked up a meaty piece of pork rib for her: "Not sure."

Actually, he meant that he would leave whenever she left.

However, he couldn't say such ambiguous things, because Yan Xu would mind.

Yan Xu picked up the spare ribs he had placed in the bowl, took a bite, and found them quite tasty: "Brother Jingxing said something to me before he left."

Upon hearing the man's name, Shen Yi felt a jolt of fear and paused in his actions: "What are you talking about?"

Yan Xu said casually, "He told me to be wary of you, saying be careful you don't lie to me."

This time, Shen Yi's reaction wasn't disgust towards Xiao Jingxing, but rather the fear of her identity being exposed: "So what do you think? What else did he say?"
