Hunt her

Yan Xu slumped his shoulders: "I've noticed you're particularly prone to overthinking."

He insisted on interpreting her meaning even though she clearly didn't mean it that way.

Shen Yi raised an eyebrow, her lips pursed in a wronged tone, and said, "Weren't you the one talking about divorce? It wasn't me who said it."

Why blame me?

Yan Xu didn't want to chat with him, so she focused on eating, washing the dishes, and getting ready to leave.

When she came out of the kitchen, she saw Shen Yi sitting imposingly on the sofa: "Aren't you going out today?"

"I'll wait for you." Shen Yi stood up, took her bag and slung it over his shoulder. "What are you standing there for? Go to work."

Yan Xu subtly curled his lips into a smile.

This guy is pretty good at acting cool.

She seemed to have forgotten how natural and tacit the actions that usually occur between couples happened between them.

She had unconsciously grown accustomed to Shen Yi's presence.

Yan Xu was not even aware of this habit.

The two were waiting for the elevator when the elevator doors opened and they saw the man who had been holding the umbrella last night.

Shen Yi frowned, his good mood affected by him: "Let's go, wife." He said it extra loudly.

Yan Xu couldn't help but look up at him. Shen Yi noticed her gaze and lowered his head slightly to meet her eyes.

The two seemed to be saying, "Shen Yi, aren't you being childish?" "This is called asserting sovereignty, you don't understand."

Standing in the corner, bachelor Zheng Luoxuan took out his phone in shame. He played with it even though there was no signal, trying to pretend he didn't see anything by not looking up.

Take the elevator to the first floor.

Shen Yi shouted again, "Let's go, wife!"

Yan Xu: "..."

Zheng Luoxuan: "..."

Yan Xu gently patted Shen Yi's shoulder and whispered, "Childish."

Shen Yi didn't think so. He straightened his back, put his arm around Yan Xu's shoulder, and walked out, saying, "So what if it's childish?"

The naive one has a wife to hug, what man doesn't?

The two walked together to the entrance of Zhenyunxuan and parted ways. Yan Xu went to work at Zhenyunxuan, while Shen Yi returned to the hardware store.

The renovation of the hardware store should have been finished long ago, but he specifically instructed the renovation workers to slow down the renovation, and he could pay them 1,000 yuan a day. As a result, the renovation speed slowed down day by day, and even the parts that had been renovated were demolished under various excuses.

Xiao Tong saw the two of them going to work together from the backyard.

She trotted up to him and gossiped, "Sister Yanxu, have you two made up?"

Yan Xu considered the precise wording: "There is no reconciliation; things are the same as before."

"I don't believe it," Xiaotong retorted. "You look like you're in a good mood; your face is much healthier than before. It's obvious that your brother-in-law is taking good care of you."

Yan Xu couldn't refute this.

Shen Yi really took good care of her, to the point that she didn't know how to repay his kindness.

Just as Yan Xu was lost in thought, Xiao Jingxing called: "Xiao Xu, where are you? Can I come find you?"

Faced with Xiao Jingxing, who had doted on her since childhood, Yan Xu couldn't refuse: "I'm at Zhenyunxuan B&B in Yunzhao County."

The other party said they would leave immediately and then hung up the phone.

Yan Xu is an extreme person. She can stay within safe boundaries and can be completely honest with herself and give her absolute trust.

But people outside her safety zone... even asking her for her contact information feels offensive.

noon.

Shen Yi sat in front of the hardware store until his butt hurt.

Suddenly, an unfamiliar Cayenne pulled up in front of Zhenyunxuan.

A man he had seen at the Yan family's house stepped out of the driver's seat: Xiao Jingxing.

How did this man know she was here?

However, Xiao Jingxing also saw him, but the other party was not surprised, as if he knew that Shen Yi was here.

When Yan Xu saw Xiao Jingxing, he quickly stepped forward and handed him a bottle of mineral water: "Brother Jingxing, here's some water."

Xiao Jingxing patted her hair like an older brother, and said, "Thank you."

Every single frame of this action was captured by Shen Yi's eyes, and he couldn't help but tighten his grip on his phone.

Why can others touch her hair as they please, but he can't? Is it because he's known her since childhood?

He also has women he's known since childhood, so why don't you see him acting like this with other women?

Yan Xu was provoking his bottom line, and this man who knew he was a mistress was even more so.

The more Shen Yi thought about it, the angrier he became.

Xiao Tong and Yan Zheng also saw this action.

The two whispered among themselves. Yan Zheng guessed, "Could this man be the boss's love rival?"

Xiaotong started worrying about her partner's relationship again: "Who knows? Where did this guy come from to destroy my house! How awful!"

A message suddenly popped up on my phone. It was from Shen Yi: [Keep an eye on them for me. Let me know if anything happens.]

Xiao Tong confidently declared: "I'll take care of it."

Protect your own partner.

Xiao Jingxing glanced at the time; it was lunchtime.

He asked, "How about we go find a restaurant to eat at?"

"Okay." Yan Xu nodded, then turned to Xiao Tong and instructed, "You guys eat by yourselves today. Contact me if anything happens."

Xiao Tong and Yan Zheng replied with a tacit "Okay".

The two left Zhenyunxuan without driving.

As soon as Shen Yi saw them leave, he hurriedly followed them.

The two chose a home-style restaurant near Zhenyunxuan. There were a few customers scattered around the restaurant. Yan Xu chose a seat by the window so that the air wouldn't be too stuffy.

This restaurant is a husband-and-wife business; the wife is in charge of greeting customers, and the husband is in charge of cooking.

The proprietress placed the menu between the two of them: "Take a look and see what you'd like to order."

Xiao Jingxing placed the menu in front of Yan Xu: "You order."

Yan Xu did not refuse, picked up the menu and ordered two meat dishes and one vegetable dish.

"What a coincidence!" Shen Yi suddenly stood behind the two of them. "You don't mind having one more person, do you?"

The two turned around and saw Shen Yi, both of them were a little surprised. Before they could agree, Shen Yi was already sitting next to Yan Xu.

The three people sat around a large round table, with Yan Xu surrounded by two men in the middle.

Xiao Jingxing glanced at Shen Yi coldly: "Xiao Xu, who is this?"

Yan Xu: "My roommate, Shen Yi."

"Roommate?" Xiao Jingxing asked sarcastically, looking down.

It's hard to believe that the heir of the prestigious Shen family would rent a place to live.

Shen Yi also sneered. It turned out that in her mouth, a legal marriage relationship was reduced to just being roommates.

That's true. What kind of couple are they if they can't even hold hands naturally?

Shen Yi felt a tightness in his chest and asked the shopkeeper for two bottles of wine: "You're not allergic to alcohol, are you?"

Xiao Jingxing smiled, but the smile didn't reach his eyes: "Of course you can drink."

Yan Xu, sitting in the middle, felt uncomfortable on either side and wanted to move to the opposite side.

She stood up: "You guys drink, I'll go sit across from you."

As if they had planned it beforehand, the two men simultaneously grabbed her shoulders to prevent her from leaving.
