The next day, Lin Wantang heard about Guiyunxuan.

She was surprised.

You know your own son best.

She spoke so coldly and heartlessly, even suggesting that someone should move out.

That very evening, he had dinner with someone, chatting and laughing, and even gave up his bedroom to stay in the study himself.

This is clearly problematic.

So, Granny Ajiu came to Guiyunxuan again and invited the two of them to Lin Wantang's place early in the morning.

After the maid served the tea and left, Lin Wantang's gaze shifted between the two men.

Xi Yao sat obediently with her head slightly lowered and her hands on her knees, looking very well-behaved.

Xie Yungui, standing to the side, felt around the teacup with his right hand, looking at Lin Wantang:

"Mother, what is it you wanted to call us here for?"

Lin Wantang withdrew her gaze from Xi Yao, looked at him, and raised an eyebrow, saying:

"You said yesterday that Xiyao should move in with me. I wanted to ask for your opinions on when would be a good time for her to move in."

Xie Yungui's eyelids twitched, and he quickly denied it, "Mother, Yaoyao is living well in Guiyunxuan, there's no need for her to move here."

"Oh?" Lin Wantang smiled, deliberately saying, "Since you're staying here so comfortably, then stay. I thought you insisted on staying with..."

"Mother!" Xie Yungui immediately interrupted her, changing the subject, "Guiyunxuan is short of a head maid. Mother, if you have someone suitable, please send one over."

He was really afraid that his mother would say the words "divorce" and what would happen if Yao Yao cried?

She's only just married into the family; how heartbroken she must be to hear this.

Thinking of this, Xie Yungui quietly turned his gaze to Xi Yao.

Seeing that her expression remained unchanged and a smile played on her lips, he breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Lin Wantang couldn't suppress the urge to smile, and gave Xie Yungui a meaningful look:

"I do have a stewardess here. She was originally prepared for you two brothers, so it's only right that she be given to you now that you're married."

Before she got married, her two sons' courtyards were managed by her maid, Ajiu.

Once married, the daughter-in-law should naturally manage things herself, with only a mother-in-law to assist her.

Xi Yao remained seated, pretending not to notice the subtle exchange between the mother and son.

Actually, she was already barely able to hold back her laughter.

It was obvious that Xie Yungui met Lin Wantang first when he returned.

Then it's estimated that someone was determined to get a divorce, and Lin Wantang tried to persuade them, but to no avail.

Finally, they agreed to let her stay for now, move out of Guiyunxuan, and wait for a suitable opportunity to divorce.

Tsk tsk.

But upon seeing her, he changed his mind.

Xi Yao was secretly delighted.

In every world, even if he has no memory of it, he still falls in love with her at first sight.

If this isn't true love, then what is?

[Host, you should press your lips down a bit; you're almost touching the sun.]

The 996 work culture couldn't resist making its presence felt.

She's so love-struck.

The host is obsessed with love.

The boss of their company is also a hopeless romantic.

It's unbearable to look at.

Xi Yao's lips twitched, she secretly rolled her eyes at 996, and said nothing.

She still has that gentle and obedient look.

Xie Yungui nodded upon hearing Lin Wantang's reply and stood up:

"Mother, now that we've finished talking, we'll head back now."

After saying that, he turned to look at Xi Yao, his voice softening unconsciously: "Let's go."

"it is good."

Xi Yao stood up and followed him.

"etc."

Lin Wantang called out to the two of them.

Xie Yungui stopped and turned to look at her. "Mother, is there anything else?"

"Now that you're back, does Mother need to redecorate your wedding night?"

Lin Wantang's words made Xie Yungui's heart skip a beat, and his earlobes couldn't help but turn red.

"No need, we'll be going now."

He grabbed Xi Yao's hand and quickly walked towards the door.

Lin Wantang deliberately raised her voice: "Hey? Why are you walking so fast? Remember to let me hold my grandson soon."

Xie Yungui quickened his pace, as if he wanted to carry Xiyao away from his sight in an instant.

Seeing his rare loss of composure, Lin Wantang couldn't help but laugh.

"Youth is indeed a blessing; you can fall in love at first sight with someone like this."

Love at first sight.

For some unknown reason, Lin Wantang's smile gradually faded, and she stared blankly out the door.

She was young once too.

He devoted himself entirely to one person.

Then she gave up the chance to go back, thinking she would be happy for the rest of her life.

pity……

Ha ha.

A lifelong commitment to one person, perhaps, only exists in novels.

After all, humans are complex creatures, and their hearts can change.

/ᐠ .⸝⸝⸝. ྀིマ

Xi Yao looked at the person who was half a step in front of her and remained silent, the corners of her mouth curled up, but she forced herself to suppress it.

"My lord, why did you refuse Mother's suggestion? We missed our wedding night; don't you want to make up for it?"

Xie Yungui paused, his left foot tripping over his right.

He steadied himself, the redness from his earlobes spreading to the base of his neck. He didn't loosen his grip on Xi Yao's hand; instead, he tightened it.

"...No rush."

His voice was low and hoarse, with a slightly unnatural stiffness.

Xi Yao was led forward by him, tilting her head to look at his profile.

His jawline was taut, and his Adam's apple bobbed slightly.

She was secretly laughing hysterically, but on the surface, she showed a hint of disappointment, lowered her eyelashes, and spoke softly:

"Does my husband not want to be with me anymore...?"

"no."

Xie Yungui quickly interrupted her, but then realized that her words were not right.

It seemed like he was in a hurry.

He simply stopped and turned around.

The two stood face to face in the garden.

The summer morning breeze passed between the two, ruffling the stray hairs at Xi Yao's temples.

Looking into her clear eyes, Xie Yungui felt a gentle tickle in his heart, a mixture of itch and panic.

He pursed his lips, and after a long pause, said, "It was just too rushed."

Xi Yao blinked, looking somewhat confused: "Rushed? But we're already husband and wife."

Xie Yungui took a deep breath and felt that the wind was so hot today, even though it was only early summer.

He looked away, focusing on a peony in full bloom beside him, and spoke as calmly as possible:

"The wedding night should be a solemn occasion, but we haven't prepared anything yet. It's really too unfair to you to do this."

"But you slept in the study last night," Xi Yao muttered softly, sounding aggrieved. "The groom disappeared on our wedding night, and when he finally came back, he slept in the study. What will people say about me if word gets out?"

Xie Yungui shut his mouth, his Adam's apple bobbing again.

He fell silent for a long while before looking at her again, his gaze earnest.

"I'm sorry, Yao Yao, it's my fault. Give me a few more days, and I'll have someone rearrange the bedroom. Everything that needs to be prepared must be ready."

You are my wife, the most important person in my life, and deserve to be treated with utmost respect.

Xi Yao paused for a moment.

I was just teasing him to see him frantically trying to appease him, but I didn't expect him to answer so seriously.

This made her heart race a little.

"You said it yourself." Xi Yao lowered her eyes, pretending to look at the tips of her shoes. "How many days? Be clear."
