Surrender At a Glance

Chapter 42: Love...

Although Jin Sui had not yet fully accepted Yi Yan's daughter-in-law, Yi Yan received a red envelope from her on the first day of the new year. The amount was not small, saying that it was to make up for the red envelope she had when she married Jiang Xiche.

Jiang Xiche also took a vacation on the first day of the new year and accompanied Yi Yan to watch two New Year movies outside, but left home to work again from the first to the second day of the new year.

On the second day of the new year, many people started to leave relatives, and Jiang's family also visited guests this morning.

At that time, Yi Yan was watching a drama in the room. She did not dare to sleep in these two days, and deliberately followed Jiang Xiche to get up for breakfast, so as not to cause Jin Sui's dissatisfaction.

When she was looking happily, the door of the room was knocked, and because of the sound insulation effect, she had to get out of bed to open the door.

The babysitter standing outside said to her gently and politely: "Young lady, there is a guest at home, and the wife said that you should go down to meet the guest."

Yi Yan took a deep breath, and she was not afraid to see the guests of her own house, but it was obvious that Jiang Xiche's guests felt uneasy, especially when Jiang Xiche was away.

She didn't want to go down, but she couldn't help it, so she hurriedly cleaned up her appearance and followed the babysitter.

When he came to the first floor, Yi Yan saw a familiar face, Xu Fei.

Xu Fei was still gentle and virtuous, sitting beside Jin Sui gracefully, smiling and talking with her, her hand was held by her.

Yi Yan couldn't help but walked over hesitantly.

Seeing her coming, Jin Sui smiled a lot, raised her hand to the woman sitting on the opposite sofa and introduced: "This is my friend. Just call her Aunt Xiao."

Yi Yan's eyes fell on Xu's mother and smiled at her, "Hello Aunt Xiao, I wish you a happy new year, my name is Yi Yan."

The corner of Xu's mouth raised a small arc, nodded to her, and looked at her, "Hello, Happy New Year."

"This is Aunt Xiao's daughter, Xu Fei." Jin Sui attracted Yi Yan's attention, "I heard you have seen it."

Yi Yan looked at Xu Fei, she curled her lips towards her, and she returned her same action, "Yes, we have seen it twice."

Jin Sui: "Then there is no need to introduce more, sit down."

Yi Yan had to sit down beside Xu Fei.

Xu's mother scanned Yi Yan for a while, then turned to Jin Sui, and said with a gentle smile: "This scene feels a bit subtle, I haven't thought about it before."

"Hey, who isn't it." Jin Sui sighed and picked up the tea in front of him, "No way, who let me give birth to such a son? Our two families have no relationship."

"It's the fault that our Xu family's strength and Feifei's charm are not enough." Xu's mother covered her lips and smiled a few times, as if joking.

Jin Sui's eyebrows dangled, and his eyes became annoying, "Where! Your Xu family's foundation is much more stable than our Jiang family. Also, Feifei is very charming. In my opinion, if anyone marries her, it will be a lifetime away. Lucky! I don't know which kid will be cheaper in the future."

"How can you say that auntie is so exaggerated." Xu Fei, who was praised, looked embarrassed, lowered her head and smiled humbly, "I am far from Yi Yan."

"What's the point, Yi Yan is not as virtuous as you. Look at you, you are proficient in all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and you can go to the hall or the kitchen."

"..." Yi Yan didn't quite understand what they were talking about, but she felt uncomfortable when she heard Jin Sui say that she was not as good as Xu Fei.

She sat aside and couldn't intervene. She didn't know what to do. She wanted to leave, and was afraid of being rude, so she forced herself to listen in silence.

A few minutes later, the nanny came out and told Jin Sui that the dumpling filling was ready. Jin Sui warmly invited Xu's mother to make dumplings with Xu Fei, and the mother and daughter readily agreed.

The three women stood up together, seeming to have forgotten Yi Yan. Yi Yan couldn't make up his mind. After thinking about it, he got up and followed.

Dumpling wrappers and dumpling fillings were placed on the kitchen table. After Yiyan washed her hands, she stood next to Jinsui, thinking that she would just follow them.

Xu's mother asked Jin Sui before she started: "Which method of wrapping are you going to use?"

"Liu Ye, I like this better." Jin Sui smiled and wiped his hands, remembering something after a while, looking at Yi Yan suspiciously, "Will you make dumplings?"

"No, I plan to learn from you." Yi Yan chuckled.

"All right." Jin Sui sighed lightly, took a piece of dumpling wrapper and spread it on her palm, and then went to dig out the meat filling, "First put some stuffing in the middle of the dumpling wrapper."

Yi Yan immediately picked up her spirits, followed her movements, Jin Sui deliberately slowed down her movements, and gave Yi Yan a demonstration and explanation.

"Pinch your head together, and then push the dumpling wrappers in one by one like this... It looks like this when you pinch it out."

She easily squeezed out a dumpling in the shape of a willow leaf, lying beautifully in her palm.

Yi Yan imitated her actions, but the results were quite different. Although it was a bit moldy, it was very ugly.

"You are too ugly." Jin Sui pointed out her shortcomings bluntly and waved her hand. "Let's take a look at two more."

"Okay." Yi Yan was a little embarrassed, looked at Xu Fei's side, and found that she had wrapped one too, which was more beautiful than the Jinsui bag.

Jin Sui saw it, and as expected she praised Xu Fei with joy, "Fei Fei's craftsmanship is so good, it makes people reluctant to eat it."

"Auntie, you're exaggerating again." Xu Fei chuckled a few times, then raised her eyes and glanced at Yi Yan.

Yi Yan felt that Xu Fei seemed a little ostentatious, and also clearly felt that Jin Sui liked Xu Fei more. She was not convinced, gritted her teeth secretly, picked up a piece of dumpling wrapper and started to learn how to make them.

But the sky is not as expected. How can she be a beginner compared to the three veterans of them? The movements are not as fast as they are. The finished product is very ruinous when put together with theirs.

Finally, when she put the fifth dumpling on the plate, Jinsui couldn't stand it anymore, and stopped her hand that was going to take the dumpling skin again, and said helplessly: "Oh, that's all right, we will do the rest. Okay, you go out."

Unwilling to reconcile, Yi Yan pleaded: "I want to do a few more..."

"You can't do this. It's easy to reveal the stuffing when steaming. You can practice on your own when you have time."

Jin Sui was sure not to let Yiyan make dumplings anymore, and Yiyan was too persistent, so she had to wash her hands in frustration.

She went back to the room and fell on the bed and kicked her legs wildly, wondering why her hands and feet were so stupid.

After calming down for a while, she took out her mobile phone and sent a WeChat message to Jiang Xiche.

[Jiang Xiche, Xu Fei and her mother have come to our house as a guest. 】

Jiang Xiche was probably busy, and several minutes passed without replying to her. She felt uncomfortable, so she sent him another message.

[Just now we made dumplings together. It was the first time I made dumplings. It was very ugly. Your mother disliked it and refused to let me make them. /Crying]

[It feels like your mother treats Xu Fei as a daughter-in-law, but I am not worthy. 】

[[Excuse me JPG]]

Five minutes later, Jiang Xiche replied.

He said: [If you don't want to be at home, you can come to the company to find me. We will eat out at noon and night, and not eat with them. 】

Yi Yan thought this idea was very good, but she didn't want to eat with Xu Fei's mother and daughter at all. Thinking about the scene, she felt embarrassed.

So she immediately packed herself up, found an excuse to tell Jin Sui that she was going to send Jiang Xiche the papers, and she went out happily.

Even during the Spring Festival, there are still many employees of the Jiang clan at work. Two days ago, Yi Yan and Jiang Xiche just went on a hot search, and no one in the Jiang clan would not recognize Yi Yan.

After Yi Yan stepped into the lobby on the first floor, everyone looked at her curiously. It is estimated that Jiang Xiche had ordered in advance. A female employee at the front desk came out with a spring breeze and led her to the president’s exclusive elevator. Stop to say hello to her.

Yi Yan is deeply impressed by this. Even if she is the boss herself, she is the wife of the Jiang family. It is estimated that she saved the galaxy in her last life.

When she came to the president's office, Jiang Xiche was explaining something to Wang Special Assistant and asked her to sit in the rest area first.

This was Jiang Xiche's exclusive place. Yi Yan was inexplicably let go, treating it like his own home. As soon as he lost his bag, he lay his upper body on the sofa and exhaled comfortably.

With a sudden "pop", something fell to the ground.

She turned her head and saw that she didn't know when the toffee she had put in her pocket fell. She picked it up and tore the package and threw it directly into her mouth.

Half a minute later Jiang Xiche came over. After he sat next to him, Yi Yan propped up and leaned against him, pressing his head against his shoulders, and smiling at him with his cheeks bulging, "I'm still with my Jiang Jiang. Comfortable together."

Jiang Xiche looked at her sideways, raised his left hand and put it on her shoulder casually. There were a few soft rays in Qingming's eyes, "Don't care about my mother's words."

"I didn't care very much, I was just a little depressed, always let your mother see my shortcomings, I don't know anything." Yi Yan looked at the ceiling and lamented.

"This is not a shortcoming." Jiang Xiche said, "You don't need to know it, I will just do it."

Yiyan was in a good mood immediately, pursed her lips and smirked a few times, grabbed his hand hanging on her shoulder and kissed his palm, and said with a smile: "As long as you don't dislike me."

The toffee in her mouth was melting, and when she spoke, a sweet but not greasy scent wafted from her mouth. Jiang Xiche moved her gaze to her lips, where she was rosy, smiling, showing white teeth.

He swallowed in his throat, "What are you eating?"

"Milk candy." Yi Yan opened his mouth and showed him the rectangular white candy on the side of his mouth.

Unexpectedly, when she was about to close, Jiang Xiche suddenly squeezed her cheeks and lowered her head. His tongue slipped in while her teeth were not closed, and easily removed the candy in her.

The toffee is soft, he bit half of it, and then put the half back into her mouth, before retreating.

Yi Yan was shocked by his series of operations, staring at him with a dull expression.

He licked the flap of his lower lip lightly, and then his Adam's apple rolled up and down.

With a "boom", Yi Yan's heart seemed to explode, and instantly the whole face and neck became red, and the sound was like a mosquito: "Don't you like sugar?"

But the culprit didn't hear it, like a okay person, bowed his head and told her as usual: "You just stay here, I'm outside, call me something, huh?"

"Yeah." Yi Yan didn't look at him, forced to sit up and take out his phone, "Give me the WiFi password."

For the rest of the day, Yi Yan stayed with Jiang Xiche, and the two went out for lunch together before returning to the company.

Throughout the afternoon, Jiang Xiche was at work, while Yi Yan was watching a drama in his office. In order to make her watch more comfortable, Jiang Xiche specially asked people to bring the projector over and bought her drinks and snacks.

Yi Yan was lying on the large sofa and enjoying a very comfortable time. She fell asleep unknowingly behind her. When she woke up it was almost half past five. It was dark outside, but the office was very bright.

Jiang Xiche didn't know when he took a pillow for her, and she was covered with his coat.

Yiyan pulled up his coat and smelled it. There was no smell, but she smelled a greedy and stable breath.

She pinched his clothes and stared at the ceiling in a daze, her slightly distressed eyes gradually lost her senses. She didn't know what she was thinking, but sighed lowly after a long time.

...

Yi Yan was brought home by Jiang Xiche's driver at 7:30. Jiang Xiche did not come back with her when he had a social gathering at night, and it was estimated that it would be late when he came back.

There was a sound from the TV in the living room. After Yi Yan entered the room to search for her reputation, she found that Xu Fei was still there, talking and laughing with Jin Sui watching TV.

Yi Yan didn't plan to go and watch them with them, so as not to upset her upper body, so she greeted Jin Sui and said that she was going to take a bath first.

Seeing her back disappearing to the top of the stairs, Xu Fei hesitated for a moment, and then hesitated to ask Jin Sui: "Auntie Jin, you said Ache wouldn't really fall in love with Yiyan, right?"

"This...I don't know..." Jin Sui became suspicious when asked by her. He thought about it for a while before continuing. "When he married her, he only said that he liked her very much. But after looking at it over the past few days, I find that Ache treats her very well, so that I am envied as a mother, and I do not rule out the possibility of moving real feelings."

Hearing that, Xu Fei's eyes drooped down and she was obviously lost.

Upon seeing this, Jin Sui hurriedly stroked her back and said with heartfelt comfort: "Feifei, auntie knows that you really like our family Ache. But he is married now, and the couple is in a good relationship. Auntie really can't match up. You guys. Don't waste your thoughts on him from now on, just look at other men."

Xu Fei did not speak, but nodded slowly.

At 8:30 in the evening, Yi Yan took a shower and prepared to go to the study to draw a design draft. Before opening the door to go in, she ran into Xu Fei coming up from downstairs.

In order to avoid embarrassment, she took the initiative to greet Xu Fei generously: "Sister Xu Fei, I forgot to tell you, Happy New Year."

"Tongle." Xu Fei twitched her lips and smiled reluctantly. She turned around and wanted to go to the third floor, but soon stopped again, turning her head and shouting, "Yi Yan."

Yi Yan also stopped looking back, his eyes confused, "Is there something wrong?"

The other party walked towards her, stood in front of her, looked at her for a while, and asked her, "Do you love Ache?"

Yi Yan's heart jumped, and she asked puzzledly: "Why do you ask?"

"I just want to know." Xu Fei paused for a few seconds and swallowed. "Don't you know? I have liked him for more than ten years. We have known each other since childhood. I used to fantasize about his future wife as me every day. "

Yi Yan's eyes expanded, filled with surprise and shocked by the "ten years" in her mouth, but...

"But what does it have to do with whether I love him or not?"

Xu Fei: "Although I can't be his wife, I also hope that his wife loves him, so maybe I will feel better. At least he married someone who also loves him."

These words couldn't help but made Yi Yan a little respect for Xu Fei in her heart, but she felt that there was something else in her words.

She chose to be silent and did not answer Xu Fei's question.

Xu Fei waited, guessed what she meant, and asked according to her own conclusion: "Will you not feel unhappy if you live with someone you don't love?"

"No, as long as I don't live with someone I hate, I won't be unhappy." Yi Yan smiled indifferently, paused, and said meaningfully, "Whether I love him or not, his wife It will always be me."

Xu Fei was speechless, and soon asked aggressively: "What about him, does he love you? Will he always let you be his wife?"

Yi Yan's smile froze, and finally slowly put it away, turning around to enter the study, "You will know if you ask him."
