Xie Siyan pulled out a chair and sat down, without exposing her clumsy lie.
“Do you remember Mengmeng? You met when you were little,” Grandma Xie said excitedly, seeing her eldest grandson’s cooperation. “You even gave her a little yellow duck, saying that lemons are yellow and little yellow ducks are yellow, so they’re a perfect match for her.”
The girl's parents exchanged a glance, wondering, "Does our daughter really have such a past with Xie Siyan? But they don't seem to have had any dealings with the Xie family back then, do they?"
Even Mengmeng herself was confused. How come she didn't remember receiving a little yellow duck from the guy? And lemon yellow, and the little yellow duck is yellow too, what's going on?
Xie Pingfeng, standing to the side, rubbed his forehead, his face showing an expression of unbearable disapproval.
Grandma loves all kinds of romantic idol drama plots. Before, she only introduced potential partners to my eldest brother, but now she has learned to make up her own plots to foster their relationship.
The person whose story was fabricated remained expressionless, calmly reminding her, "Grandma, you've gone too far with the fabrication."
"Just kidding." Grandma Xie didn't take it to heart when her lie was exposed, and said with a smile, "I had indeed heard of the Wu family's daughter a long time ago. She just happened to be back in the country recently, so I thought I'd introduce you to her. Come here, Mengmeng, this is my eldest son, Xie Siyan. He may seem aloof, but he's actually very filial and polite."
This guy is really handsome, but his aura is too strong, even more terrifying than my high school homeroom teacher.
Wu Mengmeng stood up and said somewhat awkwardly, "Hello."
Xie Siyan nodded slightly as a greeting, and then stood up: "I'm relieved that Grandma is alright. I have things to do at the company, so I'll be going now."
"Ouch, my head is starting to hurt again!" Upon hearing this, Grandma Xie swayed and was about to fall down when her grandson Xie Pingfeng caught her.
Xie Siyan paused, his expression somewhat complicated: "Grandma, stop acting."
"Ah, I feel terrible, I feel so terrible... I can't breathe... Call an ambulance and take me to the hospital..." Grandma Xie collapsed into her grandson's arms, breathing rapidly, as if she was about to die at any moment.
The Xie brothers were already used to this, but the Wu family panicked.
Wu Mengmeng had already taken out her phone and said anxiously, "I, I'll call 120 right away! Grandma, please hang in there a little longer."
"Quick, quick, you and Siyan take me to the hospital together..." the old man's voice was broken.
Wu Mengmeng's hands trembled with anxiety, but Xie Siyan had already turned and left: "If you don't get up, I'm leaving."
Upon hearing those three words, the old lady, who had just looked weak, sat up straight instantly: "I'm suddenly all better again."
Wu Mengmeng, who was just about to press the dial button: ?
"I'm so sorry, I was just joking around with you. I saw you were embarrassed, so I'm trying to lighten the mood," Grandma Xie said with a smile to Wu Mengmeng. "There's still some time before dinner, so I'll have Siyan accompany you for a walk in the garden as an apology. What do you think?"
Wu Mengmeng subconsciously looked at the man in front of her. He stood quietly by the window, his features strong and deep, his expression unreadable. He was undeniably handsome, but also undeniably fierce.
Wu Mengmeng hesitated for a moment...
"He just looks cold, but he's actually a very nice person," Grandma Xie added fuel to the fire. "It's just that he's never been in contact with girls before and doesn't know how to get along with them."
Has he not had much contact with girls? Wu Mengmeng's expectations rose a little more.
With so many people watching, Xie Siyan didn't want to embarrass the girl, so he compromised and said, "Let's go."
The girl's eyes lit up, and she jogged after him, saying, "Thank you for your help."
"Secretary Lin," Xie Siyan said as she reached the door, the old lady's voice came through the carved door to the tea room, "Don't follow them, you'll interfere with their relationship."
Secretary Lin glanced at the boss, who waved his hand, telling him to stay where he was.
...
On a summer morning, Wu Mengmeng followed Xie Siyan as they walked together in the quiet courtyard.
With Madam Xie's words still echoing in her ears, Wu Mengmeng couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation as she looked at Xie Siyan's tall and straight back.
Although Xie Siyan acted coldly from beginning to end, he had never been in contact with girls, which meant he had never been in a relationship.
Born into a wealthy family, Wu Mengmeng had long since witnessed all sorts of messy and absurd things in the circles of the rich. A man as good as Xie Siyan, who had never even been in a relationship, was practically one in a million.
Although it's too early to say whether she likes someone or not after their first meeting, since it's a business marriage anyway, she naturally wants someone good-looking. What's even more special is that Xie Siyan is still a virgin...
Thinking of this, Wu Mengmeng felt a surge of joy and was about to start a conversation when Xie Siyan spoke first.
“I was unaware of this blind date arrangement. This meeting was entirely my grandmother’s idea,” the man said, looking at him quietly with no emotion in his dark eyes. “I have no intention of going on blind dates or getting married. I’m sorry to have taken up your time.”
The girl's heart sank heavily. She quickly hid the embarrassment in her eyes and awkwardly forced a smile: "I didn't mean anything by it, I just wanted to make friends."
"Sorry, I don't need friends," Xie Siyan said calmly and cruelly, leaving her no room for negotiation.
The girl could no longer contain her emotions and, covering her mouth, ran away.
Once the other person had completely disappeared from sight, Xie Siyan turned to leave. However, the next moment, a loud "thump" suddenly came from behind the ancient pine tree beside him.
"Who?" Xie Siyan turned around abruptly.
...
Five minutes earlier, Yan Shenyu was hiding behind a pine tree, secretly taking pictures of Xiao Zhenliang and Xie Xiaoling being affectionate.
Or perhaps the word "still" would be a more appropriate way to describe it.
After all, more than ten minutes had passed, and his arm was getting sore from holding the phone up! And these two were still doing *that* kind of thing!
The content was so explicit that Yan Shenyu almost wanted to rush over and shout, "This is Jinjiang, not Haitang! If you want to do something, at least do it behind closed doors at home!"
Xie Xiaoling reluctantly agreed, looking aggrieved. Xiao Zhenliang was greasy, domineering, and charmingly wicked, spouting self-righteous sweet nothings that were even more offensive than the chili oil packet in snail rice noodles.
Xiao, the scumbag, said, "My marriage with him was just an arranged one."
Even if I marry him, you will always be the person I love most.
"Don't be afraid, I'll be with you..."
Yan Shenyu: "..."
Pah! He's already been cuckolded so badly, and he's still eyeing his fortune?
It's like trying to get a zero on a whim—no way!
Yan Shen kicked a tree trunk beside him in a huff, but that's exactly what went wrong. The next moment, a sharp shout came from behind him.
"who?!"
Thinking that the two parties involved had discovered her, Yan Shenyu was so startled that she almost dropped her phone.
He didn't realize until he turned around that a man had appeared behind him. The cold, handsome man was frowning, his sharp gaze fixed on the phone behind him.
"What are you filming?" the man asked, his voice deep and cold, as if tinged with ice.
Is this person in cahoots with Xiao Zhenliang?
Yan Shenyu hid her phone behind her back and said warily, "It's nothing, just taking pictures of the scenery."
He seems so guilty; he was definitely taking pictures of him secretly.
Xie Siyan coldly ordered, "Delete it."
This person is indeed in cahoots with Xiao Zhenliang!
In the past, Yan Shenyu would never have backed down. If he couldn't win, he could at least run away. But the original owner's body was really too weak. Whether fighting or running away, he was no match for her at all.
It would be unwise to clash with him here. If it alerts Xiao Zhenliang and Xie Xiaoling who are far away, he'll be in trouble if they gang up on him three times over.
Yan Shenyu hid her phone behind her back, glancing at the layout of the garden beside her, preparing to find an opportunity to escape.
Before he could find a way out, the man had already taken a step forward, his tall figure approaching like a mountain, his long arm reaching out to reach behind him.
“It’s no use trying to take my phone,” Yan Shenyu said as he backed away. “I’ve already sent the video to someone else.”
The man opposite him completely darkened his expression.
Yan Shenyu seized the opportunity to run away, but the next moment, his body was suddenly pulled by a huge force. When he came to his senses, he found that he had been pulled into the man's arms.
With her cheek pressed against the other man's thick pectoral muscles, Yan Shenyu suddenly had a thought: What kind of perfume is this bastard wearing? He smells pretty good.
Pshaw, now's not the time to think about perfume!
The key point is that he didn't send the video to anyone. If it's been deleted, then there will be no evidence at all!
Yan Shenyu struggled violently, but the man held his shoulders down firmly after he only moved a couple of times. The next moment, the man reached behind him and grabbed his wrist.
Just as his phone was about to be snatched away, Yan Shenyu's slender body suddenly burst forth with a powerful force, and he lunged forward—
With a loud thud, two bodies crashed heavily to the ground, Xie Siyan landing on the bottom. The violent impact momentarily stunned him.
Yan Shenyu was overjoyed and scrambled to her feet to run away. However, before she could even stand up, the man pulled her back onto the grass, and the next moment, his tall body pressed down on her.
Damn it, not again?!
Yan Shenyu's temper flared up as well. He draped his arms and legs over the man and started fighting back defiantly. The two of them rolled around in this twisted position several times.
He was in a bloodthirsty frenzy until a startled cry came from the distant flower bushes: "Ah—someone's there!"
They saw us?!
Yan Shenyu's body stiffened, and his hot-blooded mind instantly cleared up.
We absolutely cannot let them find out!
But what should we do?!
With wolves in front and tigers behind, and fairies fighting in front while he's battling with a muscular man here, it doesn't seem like a situation where he can escape unscathed.
Wait, a fight?
Since both are fighting, the difference between fairies fighting and tough guys brawling doesn't seem that big...
But can we really fool them?
Well, there's no other way now. Let's take a gamble and see what happens!
Yan Shenyu gritted her teeth, flipped over, and pinned the man beneath her.
Xie Siyan: ?
Before he could even resist, something even more outrageous happened.
The young man, with his palms and toes supporting him on either side of his body, dangled above his torso and moved back and forth in an extremely bizarre posture.
Xie Siyan: ? ?
"What are you doing?" His brows furrowed even more.
"Can't you tell?" Yan Shenyu feigned composure. "I'm working out right now."
Xie Siyan: "..."
