Hunt her

If I don't want to wear it, then I don't have to. I have a few spares anyway, so it doesn't matter.

Yan Xu hadn't completely retracted his thorns yet, and coldly asked, "What do you want?"

Shen Yi: "My luggage is packed. Come and get your house key."

"It's in my bag. I'll get it for you at the front desk." Yan Xu lifted her leg and walked out.

As they passed each other, Shen Yi grabbed her wrist. Yan Xu frowned and stared down at his hand: "Is there something else?"

"Sorry." Realizing something was wrong, Shen Yi stiffly loosened her grip. "I'm going to the hospital to see that man later, so don't come."

"No need, I—"

He interrupted her before she could finish speaking.

"I am your legal husband now. If he sues you for malicious damage, my reputation will also be affected." He seemed to have anticipated her refusal. "I'm doing this for myself, not for you."

He was right.

That guy will definitely make a bigger scene if he sees her.

She was single before, so even if something serious happened, only she would be affected. But now that she's married, if one of them gets into trouble, both of them will suffer.

Yan Xu had no reason to refuse again, and this time his tone softened: "Thank you for making the trip. I'll help you take your luggage back after get off work."

He helped her once, and she reciprocated each time.

Even it out.

After Shen Yi got the keys, he took a taxi directly to the hospital. Yan Xu breathed a sigh of relief at the thought of not having to face that man again.

Xiao Tong exclaimed, "Brother-in-law is so handsome! He's tall and strong with a small, delicate face. In the entire Yunzhao County, only you, Sister Yan Xu, can rival him."

Brother-in-law?

What an unfamiliar title.

"Hmm." Yan Xu recalled the image of him wrapped in a bath towel last night. "He had an even better physique."

He had a firm grasp on the alluring charm of the handsome man emerging from the bath.

Xiaotong hesitated for a moment, then reminded her, "But you have to keep a close eye on him. I often see him driving luxury cars when I'm on night shift, and they're never the same one twice. I can't think of any other reason why a handsome guy like him, who's short on money but good-looking, would rent luxury cars and go out at night except to pick up girls and date rich women."

The world is going to the dogs, and there are quite a few handsome men going into business.

What's more, he's a super handsome guy like my brother-in-law.

"Him?" Yan Xu suddenly thought of his social media posts, which did indeed suggest he used his good looks to seduce people. "I understand, I'll be more careful in the future."

When she first went on a blind date with a matchmaker, her first date was with Shen Yi. However, he was being pressured by his family to get married, so he was just dating for fun and wasn't in a hurry to get married. But she wasn't like that; if she had waited even a few more days, she might have lost her life.

Therefore, from the very beginning, the person who benefited the most from this marriage was Yan Xu.

When they got their marriage certificate, Shen Yi said that he would not interfere with his partner's life after marriage, and that he would divorce his partner if he fell in love with someone else.

She agreed.

So whether he simply likes driving luxury cars or is after a rich woman because he's short of money, she has no right to interfere.

She is his legal wife, but not qualified.

......

In Yunzhao County, the days are very long in the summer; it's not completely dark until 8 p.m.

Yan Xu dragged Shen Yi's old suitcase home after get off work.

"Where did he find this ancient relic?!" Not only are half of the four wheels broken, but the zipper is also about to crack.

Yan Xu tossed the item into the living room as soon as he entered, saying, "Even if I'm short on money, I can always afford to buy things on Pinduoduo!"

Thank goodness there's an elevator, otherwise I really wanted to throw him in the trash.

My suitcase just bumped into the coffee table, and the zipper, which was about to fall off, made a "click" and retired honorably.

...I deliberately left her here waiting.

Yan Xu took a deep breath, tilted his head back, and gritted his teeth resignedly: "I'll pay, I'll pay."

The order from the online supermarket was delivered in less than half an hour.

The already cramped living room became even more crowded with the two suitcases, one new and one old.

She stood in front of the two suitcases, hesitating for a long time.

Yan Xu picked up her phone: "Your suitcase broke, so I bought you a new one. Do you need me to throw the old one away?"

There was some static on the other end of the phone, and a woman's voice said, "Want to try this...?"

She didn't hear what came after that.

Shen Yi spoke coldly, just like her: "Okay, thank you for your trouble. I'll transfer the money to you."

Yan Xu didn't mince words: "One hundred and thirteen."

After hanging up the phone, Yan Xu received a transfer of 200 yuan, the largest amount in the red envelope.

Shen Yi originally wanted to transfer six sixes or six eights for good luck, but considering Yan Xu's calculating nature, she definitely wouldn't accept it, and it wouldn't fit his image as a bankrupt, poor boss.

I think I'll just send red envelopes instead.

One's public image cannot be destroyed.

Shen Yi: [The extra few dozen yuan is a tip for my hard work. I need to go home a little later tonight and get some sleep. Goodnight.]

At this moment, Yan Xu's mind was filled with Xiao Tong's words: "...A handsome guy like him, who's short on money but good-looking, rents a luxury car and goes out late at night. I can't think of any other reason besides picking up girls and hooking up with rich women..."

Picking up girls.

He was a kept man.

I'll be home late tonight.

Connecting all these thoughts, Yan Xu typed on his phone: [Remember to take safety precautions.]

She's so young and doesn't want to raise someone else's child.

the other side.

Shen Yi was completely baffled: "What does she mean?"

Is she hinting at something? Or is she showing concern for me?

Even with his IQ of 130, which allows him to read three lines at a glance and remember everything, he still couldn't figure out what Yan Xu's message was trying to express.

The craft shop owner walked over unhurriedly: "The raw materials and tools are all packed up. Your wife will be delighted to receive this gift."

To reduce the waiting time for the delivery, Shen Yi drove for several hours to her shop to pick up the raw materials for her handmade jewelry. This gesture alone is enough to make her cherish the gift.

In all these years of running the shop, she is still the first man who is both wealthy and willing to spend time with his partner.

Shen Yi's thoughts were still on Yan Xu's message: "Just don't put it in the refrigerator."

The boss asked in confusion, "Refrigerator?"

Shen Yi: "It's nothing."

He loaded two large boxes of handmade raw materials onto the car, taking two sets of each kind.

One set was used for trial and error, and the other was used for formal production.

The boss watched him drive away in his multi-million dollar Brabus, laden with his haul: "It's a pity that man is married, otherwise I really wanted to introduce him to Xiaoyou."

......

living room.

Yan Xu was rummaging through his clothes in his new suitcase, including the underwear that was at the very bottom.

She admired Shen Yi from the bottom of her heart: "He buys all the clothes on sale, two pieces for fifty yuan each, but he's willing to spend money on CK underwear. It seems that letter lace has quite a lot of appeal."

It was so annoying and annoying.

Throwing away the old suitcase makes the living room look a bit more empty and comfortable.

She hates crowded, cramped spaces that make her feel suffocated.

Yan Xu simply cooked a bowl of noodles and went back to her room to wash up and go to sleep.

She had no idea what time Shen Yi returned home.

Two o'clock in the morning.

The entire neighborhood was completely dark.

Shen Yi tiptoed into the living room. The clothes in the suitcase were neatly arranged, just like Yan Xu himself, meticulous and methodical.

He suddenly remembered that his underwear was also inside, and his ears turned slightly red: "So she knew I wear an XL."

......

The two continued their respectful and courteous life together as usual.

There was still a table of breakfast waiting for her in the morning.

There was still a note under the soy milk: "I packed one for you while I went downstairs for breakfast."

This has been the case for several days in a row.

"Just so I could" pack some leftovers, "just so I could" order an extra breakfast delivery, and "just so I could" pick up her package.

Everything is just "by the way".

He's probably the perfect roommate everyone online wants—always thinking of helping her, his legal roommate with whom he has no emotional connection, no problem.

Now, Yan Xu has a habit of putting breakfast in the refrigerator first thing in the morning and putting the note in the desktop storage box.

The box was almost a third full, but he hadn't thrown it away yet, and she didn't like to throw things written by other people into the trash.

Yan Xu shook the box: "Burn it in a few days."

Turn it to ashes, and you can pretend it never existed.

Nothing much has happened at Zhenyunxuan B&B lately. Apart from the middle-aged man who caused the trouble suddenly running over with a limp to apologize to Aunt Chen and her, everything has been harmonious.

Yan Xu still remembers it vividly: it was midday when the middle-aged man limped up to her, wailing, "I'm sorry! I was wrong... I'm a beast, a beast!"

As she was talking, she started slapping herself, each slap making a loud noise, which startled her.

Is this man possessed by a ghost or something?

It was eerie, as if an invisible knife was pressed against his neck, forcing him to apologize; his eyes were filled with fear.

She still remembers it vividly; it's hard for her to forget it.

Xiao Tong, sitting at the front desk organizing forms, said, "Sister Yan Xu, it seems someone came looking for my brother-in-law this morning. The person was dressed head-to-toe in designer brands, very extravagant. My brother-in-law's shop wasn't even open today; I wonder if creditors came knocking!"

"In TV dramas, people who go bankrupt are most afraid of being chased by creditors, otherwise my brother-in-law wouldn't have come to Yunzhao County."

Actually, what she really wanted to say was to hide.

Yan Xu turned his head to look at the hardware store across the street.

Under the blazing sun, the security glass door was locked from the inside, while a conspicuous black Brabus was parked outside.

If the other party can drive a car, their assets must be at least A9.5 or higher.

Yan Xu opened her phone, but received no messages. She said coldly, "Forget it, let's pretend we didn't see what we shouldn't be concerned with."

One of the requirements for obtaining a marriage certificate is that the individuals' personal lives should not interfere with each other's.

She also doesn't like to meddle in other people's business.

Just two hours ago, in a cubicle of the hardware store.

Shen Yi sat imposingly at the workbench, which was covered with various small ornaments. He was earnestly and clumsily making handicrafts.

The "Xiao's Son" on WeChat sat on the old sofa, looking around: "You, the only son of the prestigious Shen family, the heir apparent to the family business, have come here to be a hardware store manager? Are you still the Brother Long I know?"

He slammed his hand on the sofa, sending dust flying from the cracks.

When has Shen Yi, a pampered young master who has always been waited on hand and foot, ever suffered like this?

"How did you know I was here?" Shen Yi didn't even look up, carefully examining the newly made hairpin in her hand. "If you have nothing else to do, hurry up and leave. Can't you see I'm busy?"

I worked for several days but couldn't make a satisfactory one. I used up two boxes of raw materials until only half a box was left.

There was no way around it; his practical skills were comparable to those of an unevolved caveman.

Xiao Yuanyang glanced at him sideways: "Someone took a picture of your car and posted it online to show off, even including the location of Yunzhao County."

The key point is that they even took a picture of the license plate number.

Shen Yi's internal alarm bells rang, and he said seriously, "Later, drive my car back and also get me a small electric scooter."

I almost forgot that he's now a bankrupt, poor store manager who can't afford a car, let alone a luxury car.

"What are you up to now?" Xiao Yuanyang asked again. "Where's my sister-in-law? I haven't seen her."

Shen Yi bent down to rummage through the craft materials: "Across the street."

Xiao Yuanyang got up, walked out of the cubicle, and took a look. It was a guesthouse.

He instantly understood what was going on and gave a meaningful "Oh": "You did this on purpose, didn't you? Your sister-in-law can see you as soon as she looks up from her front desk. And you own a hardware store. Even if the faucet at the guesthouse breaks, she has to ask you to fix it."

Shen Yi frankly admitted, "It was intentional."

He wanted to have his presence in Yan Xu's social circle.

"Tsk tsk, Capricorn man." Xiao Yuanyang said disdainfully, "So you got married without telling your family, what are you planning to do afterwards?"

Bringing Yan Xu back to the Shen family would not be easy, given his social status.

"What do you mean, what to do..." Shen Yi glared at him, trying to shoo him away: "Get lost, don't disturb me while I'm doing my business."

Xiao Yuanyang: "..."

Forget your friends when you see a beautiful woman.

Xiao Yuanyang walked out of the hardware store and hesitated for a long time in front of the Brabus car. Whether out of selfishness or not, he turned around and headed straight for Zhenyunxuan.

At this moment, Yan Xu was the only person in the front hall.

"Hello there."

Hearing the sound, she put down her phone and turned around. A man with an extraordinary bearing was standing in the doorway against the light.

He was dressed head-to-toe in designer brands; it seems Xiaotong was talking about him.

Yan Xu nodded slightly: "Hello, please have a seat."

The first time I saw Yan Xu, I felt that she was so beautiful that she was on a completely different level from others. Today, the second time I saw her, she was still stunningly beautiful.

The silver hairpin in her hair shimmered in the sunlight, as did she.

Xiao Yuanyang was stunned for a moment: "No, I just came to say hello to your wife. My name is Xiao Yuanyang, it's nice to meet you."

sister in law......

This title, like "brother-in-law," felt unfamiliar and uncomfortable to her.

Yan Xu said coldly, "Just call me Yan Xu."

Xiao Yuanyang choked on his words: "...Okay, I have to go now."

Yan Xu raised his hand to see the guest off, saying, "Take care."

When Xiao Yuanyang first met Yan Xu up close, he found her to be very cold, just like her appearance.

The Brabus has driven away, leaving a large empty space in front of the hardware store. The sun is still scorching, but this time the hardware store is unlocked.

Shen Yi, supporting his neck, walked to the door to stretch his muscles.

He muttered to himself, "I wonder what she's doing right now."

Just as he was thinking of Yan Xu, he looked up and their eyes met.

She stared at him directly, without any hesitation or evasion.

The two stared at each other unexpectedly, like sparks from the fuse of a firework, crackling and fiery.

He unconsciously straightened his back, feeling guilty as if his thoughts had been discovered, and avoided eye contact. Even his movements to relax his body became clumsy and heavy.

Standing next to Yan Xu, Xiao Tong asked in confusion, "Brother-in-law, aren't you hot doing burpees in the middle of the day?"

But I have to say he has a really good physique.

The sleeveless T-shirt revealed his strong arm muscles without reservation, and his testosterone was constantly being released during the burpees.

Yan Xu raised an eyebrow: "Maybe opening the screen helps dissipate heat, let's ignore it."
