C197

Perhaps the thoughts running through her mind were too outrageous, or perhaps it was because she felt strange as she looked at Xiao Yu. Xiao Yu was looking back at her with the same pampering gaze she always had.

The photo that he had especially cherished was stuck in Ye Yanxi's throat like a fish bone.

Perhaps it was because she was thinking too much, but she felt absent-minded as she looked at Xiao Yu. This person usually doted on her and cared for her in every way possible. He really was a competent boyfriend.

She didn't know how much of what Xiao Yu had done for her was fake, or if he had mistaken her for the girl in the photo.

Thinking this way, Xiao Yu teasingly said those words but she didn't respond. He only indifferently looked at him and said, "You're back?"

He had already thought that Ye Yan Xi was acting abnormally today. Now that he saw her expression, it seemed that she was in a bad mood.

He reached out his hand worriedly, wanting to touch if Ye Yan Xi's body was unwell and had a fever. "What happened to you today? "No fever."

Ye Yan Xi's expression was dispirited as she pushed Xiao Yu's hand away, lowering her eyes.

"I'm fine. I don't have a fever." However, in order to prevent Xiao Yu from further suspecting him, he panicked, "It's just that I'm a bit dizzy. Maybe it's because the weather is too hot."

"Then you should go and have a good rest. Stop reading." Xiao Yu took the book from her hands.

Originally, Ye Yan Xi was only holding the book to put on an act. She couldn't read it anyway, so she didn't say anything after taking it away. She went back to her bed and lay down, preparing to rest.

From start to finish, Xiao Yu had watched her walk from the desk to the bed. He then pulled down his blanket and laid down, while his eyes dimmed.

"You should be busy for a while. You can leave, don't worry about me." Seeing that Xiao Yu didn't leave, Ye Yan Xi urged him to do so. Every night when he came back, Xiao Yu would stay in the study and work until midnight.

Xiao Yu still didn't have any intention of leaving. He stared at her face and asked, "Are you sleeping here tonight?"

"Yes, I'm very tired. I'll just lie down for a while." Ye Yan Xi did not want to discuss this issue, so she replied.

Seeing that Ye Yanxi was insisting, Xiao Yu didn't say anything more. Instead, he walked over and gently pulled on her blanket: "Then you should rest first. If you're not feeling well, then call me. I'll take you to the hospital."

"Alright." "Okay." Ye Yan Xi replied. Then, she closed her eyes and no longer looked at Xiao Yu.

A very resistant position.

Xiao Yu frowned as he looked at Ye Yan Xi for a few seconds. In the end, he still walked out of the room and lightly closed the door.

As he descended the stairs, he was still thinking about what had happened to Ye Yanxi today and why she had suddenly become so resistant to him.

He picked up a glass of water from the living room and drank while thinking. Then he noticed that there were a few colorful pages on the tea table, like an advertisement. Today, there seemed to be some colorful newspaper ads posted everywhere in the small area.

These were all brought back by Ye Yan Xi, right?

He walked over and flipped open a few colorful pages. After taking a few glances, he saw the exaggerated design and the big words, 'Seven Nights Valentine's Day Carnival'. It fell into his eyes.

Xiao Yu's pretty face twitched as he pursed his lips. Her black pupils were so deep that one couldn't see the bottom of them, so it was hard to tell what he was thinking about.

He didn't have much interest in this kind of holiday in the first place. Many business people also took this opportunity to stimulate the masses to consume their goods, and in the end, they earned a lot of money. As for the other meanings, he didn't really care.

However, these advertisements were brought back by Ye Yan Xi. This meant that she still cared a bit about them.

On the promotional page was a western restaurant. Tomorrow, Valentine's Day would be a day of carnival. There would also be news about the discount, as well as the participation of some couples. Of course, there would also be candlelight dinner in the evening.

Could it be... Ye Yan Xi liked this kind of activity?

Xiao Yu took out a few colorful pages and returned to the study, while pondering over this question. He impatiently unbuttoned his shirt, revealing his beautiful collarbones. After thinking for a while, Xiao Yu took out his phone and dialed Shen Jingshu's number.

There were several ringing sounds, only then did Shen Jingbin pick up the phone. It was as if Xiao Yu had just hung up.

"Yuyu, why did your workaholic think of calling me?" Shen Jingshu's voice was loud, almost like a roar. Unexpectedly, he could hear the deafening music coming from the other side. He did not need to think to know which entertainment area he was in.

"What the hell are you doing out here?" Xiao Yu raised his eyebrows.

"I'm not you. You said that you work during the day and at night. To me …" Shen Silent paused for a moment, then laughed, "This point just happens to be the beginning of the nightlife."

"You're busy with the company's matters during the day, isn't it tiring to wait all day at such a late hour?"

"Wrong!" Shen Jingshu immediately retorted, "You're wrong. Night life is the main theme of my day. Since I'm tired during the day, I naturally have to relax at night. Only then will I have the energy to handle the company's matters the next day."

The words that came out of his mouth seemed to make sense. However, in his hands was the company of the Song Family. Not only did it not get worse, it even grew stronger. This surprised Xiao Yu.

"Did Aunt Shen raise you recently?"

Shen Jingshu let out a 'hmph' sound and said, "Oh Yu, we are all brothers, can you not talk about other people, especially your family members?" The word 'family' was uttered almost through gritted teeth.

Ostensibly, Shen Jingshu was still deeply afraid of his mother.

Xiao Yu smiled and casually said, "Could it be that you want to continue like this forever?"

"Then do you think it's good to find a woman, marry and have children, and then spend the rest of your life in poverty and boredom? I, Shen Jing, cannot stand it! " There was an obvious disdain in his tone.

"You won't say that when you meet the person you like."

"Enough, why did you become a love counselor? I know you have a goddess now, don't show off to a single person like me." Shen Jingshu changed his tone and immediately said, "If you can find someone like my goddess, I'll consider marrying and having children. Could it be that you plan on giving her to me?"

"Do you think that's possible?" Xiao Yu's voice turned cold.

"Alright, that's a joke. Even if I'm just addicted to talking, it won't do." Shen Jingshu muttered to himself.

"Cut the crap. Do you know what day tomorrow is?"

"Do you even need to ask?" Shen Mo Shu immediately became excited as he mentioned this, "I've already made arrangements for a few of my soulmates. I plan to have a good romance tomorrow, so I must pay more attention to the Double Seventh Festival. Without a lover, I can only make do with my best friends."

For a person like Shen Jingshu who roamed the flowers, he actually wanted to go to Valentine's Day.

"Must it be Valentine's Day?"

"Of course, Valentine's Day is when a lover lives together." Shen Mo Shu suddenly thought of something and immediately shouted: "It can't be that you don't plan to get along with my goddess, right?"

Xiao Yu was silent for a moment.

Shen Jingshu grew up with him and knew what he was thinking too well. Hearing the silence from the other side, he guessed it all and raised his voice in surprise, "Really, you don't intend to spend Valentine's Day with my goddess? "That's great. Since you have no other choice, I'll just go and accompany her. I can just push away those female friends of mine."

"How dare you!" Xiao Yu's expression sank, "Did I say that I won't accompany her on her holiday?"

"Do you know what Valentine's Day is all about?" Shen Jingshu lazily asked Xiao Yu.

"What else can we do?"

Cardinal Shen Mo shook his head like a rattle drum. He clicked his tongue and teased, "Yu, I really didn't expect that you would still be a dual doctoral candidate. There's actually a time where you don't know about it."

"..." Xiao Yu's expression completely darkened. "Eating together during the day and sleeping together at night, is that not enough?"

Shen Jingshu froze for a moment before he disapprovingly said, "Yu-you really don't know anything about romance?"

Xiao Yu didn't reply and waited for him to continue.

But after waiting for a while, it seemed as if Shen Lianshu didn't say anything. After a long while, his gloating voice came out, "Yu, do you really want to know? Haha …. But I just won't tell you. It's best if you screw up everything tomorrow, and then the goddess breaks up with you, and I'll have a chance. Don't forget to call me then. "

Xiao Yu's face darkened as he pressed the phone.

He simply wasn't careful when making friends, yet he dared to covet his woman so blatantly in front of him.

After hanging up the phone, Xiao Yu's expression became even more agitated, and his eyebrows furrowed.

Thinking about Ye Yanxi's expression when she came back, as well as what Xu Bei said to her in the car, could it be that she was looking forward to the Valentine's Day tomorrow?

It was rare for him to be so confused when he was usually so smart. He couldn't help but to wonder if there was something wrong with his mind.

But how could he know that he had never been to Valentine's Day? It was hard to guess what a girl was thinking at times.

At this moment, Jiang Ye called again.

Looking at Jiang Ye's number, Xiao Yu immediately knew what he was calling for. However, his relationship with Jiang Ye was still there. Thus, he didn't hesitate to answer the phone.

"What's the matter?" asked bluntly.

Jiang Ye was stunned for a moment before saying, "Do you have to be so cold? At the very least, you should at least say a few polite words."

"Then do you want me to say 'hello' or 'welcome' to you?"

Jiang Ye mumbled a few sentences before opening his mouth, "Where are you now? "Ye Yanxi is not at your side."

As long as Ye Yanxi didn't recognize Jiang Qizhen, he wouldn't have any reason to force Xiao Yu to call him uncle.

Right now, in order to hear Xiao Yu address him as uncle, he was going to be bewitched.

"What do you want from her?"

"I'm not looking for her, I'm looking for you." Jiang Ye rolled his eyes in annoyance, "During special times, do you think I can just directly look for her?"

"It's good that you know it. Then why did you call?"

"I called because I missed you …" Jiang Ye paused, "No way, you're destroying the bridge after crossing the river, no matter what, I still have to help you a lot. At that time, did Ye Yan Xi's adoptive father got sick, or did I need to find a kidney?" "Right now, you …"

"So, you're here to ask me to help you?" Xiao Yu interrupted him.

"Yes, I'll accept it. I won't beat around the bush anymore, as long as you help me this time!" After Jiang Ye said this, he immediately added: "It's just about you using your mouth."

"You called yourself, it's not that simple."

Jiang Ye was also infuriated: "Yu, I won't say anything else. Are you going to help or not?"

"Who told you to call?"

"Myself, no one else." Jiang Ye calmed his tone, "Did you not see? My sister has been depressed everyday for the past few days. She regretted not recognizing Ye Yanxi before and even regretted misunderstanding her at He Man's wedding …"

"Then did she tell you that she was angry at Xiaoxi and even slapped her!" Xiao Yu questioned.

"What!" Jiang Ye was shocked, "Tell me, when did my sister hit Ye Yanxi?"

"He Man's wedding, Xiao Xi was chased out by someone else. I presume you don't know about this matter as well?"

Jiang Ye quickly understood what Xiao Yu meant.

"You said my sister was the one who kicked Ye Yan Xi out of the hotel?" "What?" Jiang Ye was puzzled. "That's impossible, my sister wouldn't do that, and she wouldn't beat people."

"Then you have to ask that fake niece of yours what exactly she said to your sister, and what your sister did to little Xi. I think she should be very clear in her heart."

Thus, Xiao Yu had always disagreed with Ye Yan Xi going back to the He family. This was probably the reason as well.

Jiang Ye hesitated for a moment but still wanted to persuade her, "But, my sister is Ye Yan Xi's biological mother after all. Since it's like this, she …"

"Why would she willingly accept this injustice? If Xiao Xi doesn't want to admit it, I will support her. Anyone who wants to force her … That means he's going against me, Xiao Yu! "

Xiao Yu's position was clear now.

Jiang Ye finally understood. Even if he wanted to say something, Xiao Yu wouldn't help him now.

"Alright, I understand." Jiang Ye said with extreme helplessness, "It seems that I'll have a good time with my sister tomorrow, Valentine's Day."

Even Jiang Ye knew that it was Valentine's Day.
