Good Pregnancy Quick Transmigration: The Overly Charming CEO with No Heirs
Chapter 461 Twins 7
"Jiang Xiyao, what brings you here?"
The moment Xie Yungui saw the person, he instinctively stood up, and all his coldness vanished without him realizing it.
Recalling how he had spent so long lost in thought in the study because of this woman, he inexplicably felt a little afraid to look directly at her.
After living a quiet and uneventful life for over twenty years, it's understandable that I'm hesitant to face the situation when things get out of control for the first time.
Xi Yao withdrew her covetous gaze, put on a polite smile, and walked over step by step, her voice so gentle it could melt water:
"My husband, I heard you were back, so I came to see you."
The affectionate "husband" startled Xie Yungui, and her ears involuntarily turned red and burned.
But he didn't correct her. Instead, he asked in a slightly lower voice, "Is there something wrong? Is something missing in the yard? You can list what you need, and I'll have someone prepare it."
Xi Yao almost burst out laughing when she heard his words.
Goodness, no wonder he's her husband, he's fallen for her at first sight again.
The man who ran away on their wedding night is now concerned about whether she needs anything.
Tsk tsk.
Xi Yao's mind was racing, but she remained outwardly calm.
She took another step forward, closer to the edge of the desk, and said in a somewhat dejected tone:
"I don't lack anything, but I'm a little confused as to why my husband left on our wedding night. Was there something wrong with me?"
Xie Yungui's back stiffened slightly, and an unnatural expression flashed across his face. "No, you are fine. It's just that I had urgent business to attend to, so I left the manor."
"Really?"
"real."
"But why do I hear a different version of events?"
Xi Yao's beautiful eyes instantly welled up with tears, and she looked at him mistily, saying:
"The servants are saying that you, my husband, are not happy with this marriage, so you ran away from the manor on our wedding night. Is that true? Am I really so disliked that you needed to run away?"
Upon hearing the word "escape," Xie Yungui's fingers tightened suddenly, his knuckles turning a thin layer of white.
He opened his mouth, wanting to explain, but found that his throat felt like it was blocked by something, and he couldn't make a sound.
He couldn't utter a single word of his usual platitudes when facing this woman with slightly red eyes.
"No..." Xie Yungui paused, his voice much softer than usual, "I have no complaints about this marriage."
Even he himself felt a little guilty saying that.
After all, it's a fact that she left on her wedding night.
Xi Yao didn't miss the fleeting panic in his eyes. She chuckled inwardly, but her expression became even more aggrieved.
She lowered her head and gently traced the edge of the desk with her fingertips, her voice trembling slightly.
"My husband, you don't need to comfort me. I understand everything. I am not good enough for you, and it is only right that you are unwilling."
"No, you're not unworthy."
Xie Yungui blurted out, his voice more hurried than expected, even pausing for a moment.
He lowered his eyes, his gaze falling on Xi Yao's hand resting on the edge of the table. Her fingers were slender and fair, and a jade bracelet of emerald green was visible on her wrist.
He quickly looked away, as if he had been burned, but the redness from his ears had already spread to his neck.
"Then why did you leave, my husband?" Xi Yao's voice was soft, like a feather falling on his heart, "You wouldn't even wait for our wedding night."
Xie Yungui pursed his lips, unsure of what to say for a moment.
At that time, he really didn't intend to acknowledge the marriage.
My original intention in coming back this time was to talk to her clearly and ask her to leave when the opportunity arises.
but……
Now, he could never bring himself to say the words "divorce".
"There really was an emergency that day." Xie Yungui's voice softened, as if he was trying to convince himself. "Something happened at the estate that required my personal attention. It wasn't that I intended to... neglect you."
Xi Yao raised her head, her moist eyes staring straight at him.
Xie Yungui's heart skipped a beat under that gaze, and he subconsciously turned his head away, his fingers unconsciously fidgeting with his cuffs.
This subtle movement caught Xi Yao's eye, and she marveled inwardly.
Her husband now looks like a teenager caught doing something wrong, so helpless it's almost laughable.
"Now that my husband has seen me," Xi Yao took a step forward, "do you find me annoying?"
Xie Yungui shook his head almost reflexively, his movements so fast they were almost irrational.
"I don't dislike it."
After he finished speaking, he felt that those three words were too weak, so he paused and added, "You, you are very good."
It was so beautiful that he was mesmerized at first sight.
I've lost my heart.
very good?
Xi Yao almost couldn't hold back her laughter.
After half a day, all he managed to utter was "very good"?
Xie Yungui clearly felt that his answer was too perfunctory, and his face involuntarily flushed.
I want to say something, but I don't know what to say, which is a bit annoying.
He was even somewhat annoyed to find that from the moment Jiang Xiyao stepped into the study, his pride and self-control had vanished.
My heart was racing, my breathing was erratic, and even my speech became slurred.
He's become unlike himself.
Xi Yao continued to suppress her laughter, watching quietly and waiting for him to speak.
"Those servants are gossiping." Xie Yungui cleared his throat, masking the unnaturalness in his tone. "I'll have someone deal with them; you don't need to worry about it."
"Why punish them?" Xi Yao tilted her head, revealing an innocent look. "They were just telling the truth. My husband is indeed not satisfied with this marriage, and he did leave the manor on our wedding night. These are all facts."
Xie Yungui was speechless for a moment, and wanted to say something in rebuttal, but found that he really had no way to refute it.
Looking at the smiling face in front of him, the firm resistance he once felt melted away without leaving a trace.
"It was my fault, I will explain it to them."
She married into Feixue Manor, a place she knew no one in. If rumors spread that she was not favored by her husband, she would surely be bullied.
The people in the villa are adept at judging people and playing tricks on them.
She's not very skilled in martial arts; if someone bullies her, she'll definitely cry.
The thought of her crying made Xie Yungui feel heartbroken.
This is an experience I've never had before.
"Alright, thank you, my husband." Xi Yao knew when to stop and changed the subject; "By the way, my husband, since you've been away these past few days, the servants in my courtyard have all been arranged by my elder brother. Do you think we should go and thank him?"
Upon hearing Xie Yunqi's name, Xie Yungui recalled the words he had spoken to him earlier that day, and a sharp glint flashed in his eyes.
He really did set his sights on Jiang Xiyao.
Xie Yunqi always loved to steal his things, no matter what they were.
He used to not care, because he didn't care about those things.
But this person in front of me is different.
Xie Yungui looked up and met Xi Yao's questioning gaze, managing a weak smile:
"Yes, I should thank you, but I can go myself. Yao Yao, you don't need to go. Can I call you Yao Yao?"
