Chapter 42
Yan Li stood at the door with a smile all over his face, and asked Ling'er, who was stunned by the side, with a smile: "Why, don't you invite me in?"
Ling'er hurriedly turned her head to look at Daiyu who was standing at the door, and asked for instructions with her eyes.Daiyu was also taken aback, and realized after being dazed for a while, she had no choice but to nod to Linger, Linger understood, hurriedly stepped aside, and said apologetically, "Mr. Yan, please come in!"
Yan Li didn't care about her negligence, and walked in quickly, seeing Daiyu and others standing at the door, he smiled and said, "I'm not here to visit your new house, so you don't have to come out so politely to greet you!"
Daiyu couldn't laugh or cry, she taunted, "Who greeted you, you have a thick skin!"
Yan Li smiled, completely ignoring Daiyu's ridicule, and went straight into the room.Daiyu and others had no choice but to follow in.As soon as Yan Li entered the room, he saw a sumptuous meal on the table, especially wine, and exclaimed, "Your place is better, with good wine and food, but unfortunately I moved in late, and it's not too late. Let’s tidy up, let alone cook!”
"Why, have you guys moved too?" Daiyu was startled again and hurriedly asked.
Yan Li nodded and said: "Yes, you moved away quietly, making our family lonely. The more we think about it, the more lonely we feel, so we also bought a house in the city. Who would have thought it would be such a coincidence, It happens to be in the same alley as yours, and mine is the one at the entrance of the alley, what do you think is better there?"
"Hiss—" Everyone took a breath when they heard this, thinking that Mr. Yan is very vigorous and decisive in his affairs, and what is even more annoying is that he actually concealed the news in such a cunning way. guy.
Seeing that everyone was silent, Yan Li picked a seat and sat down bluntly, and asked Daiyu, "I'm dizzy from hunger right now, can Miss give me a bowl of rice with an extra pair of chopsticks?"
Daiyu was so angry that she gave him a hard look while others were not paying attention, but she had no choice but to say politely: "Mr. Yan was joking, you are the benefactor of our family, don't talk about a bowl of rice, it's you It is right to eat all the food on this table!"
"Oh? If that's the case, then I won't be polite, you guys sit down too, let's continue eating!" After finishing speaking, he poured out a glass of wine and drank it up.
Zijuan next to him saw that Yan Lilai had settled here, he was amused and looked forward to it, so he quietly winked at everyone and led them down.Daiyu was only thinking about how to deal with Yan Li, but when she suddenly raised her head, she saw that everyone had retreated, she stomped her feet anxiously.Just about to call Zijuan back, Yan Li quietly grabbed her wrist and said softly: "Let them go, I have something to tell you."
"You..." Daiyu was ashamed and shy, hurriedly shook off his hand, sat down far away from him, and deliberately turned her face and asked, "What are you talking about, tell me quickly!"
Yan Li was not in a hurry, took another bite of the food, and then said slowly: "Do you think I will not be able to find you if you move house secretly?"
Daiyu turned her head to the other side, neither looking at him nor answering.
Yan Li was not angry, and drank another glass of wine before saying, "Actually, I don't object to your moving, but I think it's a pity that the small courtyard in Fenglianzhuang is abandoned like this. After all, we spent a lot of manpower and financial resources to pretend to be good, and we live together. A few months..."
Daiyu frowned lightly and said, "I didn't abandon it, I just couldn't live there temporarily. I also told Zicuckoo that when the lotus blooms in summer, we will go there to enjoy the flowers and escape the heat. Why? Can it be called to abandon it?"
"Appreciate the flowers to escape the heat? This is a good idea. In this case, let's keep my house together, so as not to be unable to live in your house when I go back in the future..." Yan Li said.
When Daiyu heard that something was wrong, she rolled her eyes at him and turned her head away.
Then Yan Li sighed and said: "You are too stubborn, this is not good, you will live a very tiring life!" After speaking, he reached out and took out something from his bosom, pushed it to Daiyu and said, "Open it and see , maybe you will like it!"
"What is this?" Daiyu asked puzzled.
"Open it and have a look!" Yan Li said with a smile.
Daiyu had no choice but to reach out to take it, and opened the red silk that was wrapped in layers outside, revealing an antique jewelry box inside.Daiyu was stunned for a moment, then opened it and saw that inside was a pair of silver bracelets with wishful patterns, the style was very simple, like a family heirloom.Daiyu's heart moved, and she was also a little surprised, she quickly buckled up and pushed back to Yan Li and asked, "What exactly does this mean?"
Yan Li smiled and said: "You are such a smart person, you probably don't understand? ——This was given to my mother by my grandmother when she married my father, and she has kept it for the purpose of passing it on to the future daughter-in-law!—do you understand?"
Although Daiyu had already guessed it correctly, but when she heard Yan Li's confirmation, she still couldn't believe it and asked, "Your mother really asked you to give this to me? Didn't you take it secretly?"
Yan Li looked faint, and explained with a smile and tears: "My mother wants to hide something, but no one in the family can find it, so don't doubt it, my mother gave it to me, and it was yesterday Someone called me back to me personally, and let me hand it over to you. And her old man also said, let me apologize to you for her, saying that she is old, has soft ears, and is easy to listen to other people's slander , that's why I blamed you, I hope you don't get angry with her. ——How about it, are you satisfied with my mother's attitude?"
"This...is it true or not? Why do I hear...it's so unreal!" Daiyu was really confused by this sudden change, her head was clouded with fog, and she was really a little confused.
Yan Li was quite sober, he didn't want to explain to Daiyu, he just rewrapped the bracelet and stuffed it into Daiyu's hand and said: "As long as you accept it, it means that you are already the daughter-in-law of our Yan family. It is the wife that I, Yan Li, have been waiting for for 25 years. So, please cherish it carefully, and when the spring comes, we will pick a good day to get married. Okay?"
"I..." Daiyu was shocked once again, and her heart was in a state of confusion for a while, maybe it was joy or worry.
Yan Li did not give her any chance to hesitate, and continued to make clear arrangements: "I have thought about it a long time ago, you are alone now, and there are no elders to make decisions for you. It is inappropriate for you to come forward in person for many things, so I want to go Please ask my classmate friend Ye Mozhi's mother to let her recognize you as a goddaughter, so that even if you have a serious natal family, you can cover up your identity to the outside world, what do you think?"
"This way...it's very good, I'm afraid people won't like it, after all, with my status..." Daiyu unconsciously followed Yan Li's train of thought.
Yan Li hurriedly said: "You don't have to worry about this, Mrs. Ye is a very kind person, she will definitely agree, and even if she doesn't understand you, isn't there me? No reason to agree."
After hearing this, Daiyu thought about it again, and felt that there was no better way, so she nodded in agreement.
When Yan Li saw that she finally nodded in agreement, a stone in his heart finally fell to the ground. With the strength of the wine, he quietly stretched out a hand to hold Daiyu's little hand.Who knows that Daiyu was the most vigilant, she raised her hand and hit Yan Li on the back of the hand with a "slap", she lowered her face and scolded: "Be respectful, or I will chop off your paw and feed it to the dog!"
Yan Li's hair was blackened immediately, and he gritted his teeth and said, "What a rose with thorns! - Well, I'll bear with it for now, and wait until the day of the bridal chamber, hmph, why don't I take out the thorns on your body one by one?" If the ground is uprooted, I will write this face upside down!"
