I had known that I would see him at the Yan family for a long time. Along the way, I have imagined countless times in what situations we would meet - maybe some "accident" might be encountered on the way; maybe Yan Qingchen would stop him; maybe Xue Qian would attack me directly...
I have thought about any of these possibilities, and the one I think about the most is naturally to see him in this lobby of the Yan family.
So, the scene in front of me almost coincides with the scene I imagined countless times in my mind.
The man in white sat there calmly, except for a hint of imperceptible convulsion on his shoulders, everything else was no different from usual. His body was still a faint, elegant aura like a banished immortal, and his hair was neatly tied behind his head. Even if he only looked at his back, he could feel that kind of cleanness and ability.
As soon as I saw his back, my steps stopped.
And he didn't look back.
He kept sitting with his back to me, motionless as if he was a statue. Even though Xue Qian had already stood up, frowned and stared at me, and then looked at him, he still had no reaction at all.
It seems that he lost his reaction.
After a brief silence, Xue Qian finally spoke first. When she saw me for the first time, her brows twisted into a bump, and her eyes showed an extremely unhappy look: "Do you still have the face to come back?"
“…”
I stood at the door, and I didn't expect how to answer this sentence.
Of course I don't want to answer.
Xue Qian was even more angry at my silence. She frowned and said, "Look at the good things you did outside, the Yan family's face will be thrown away by you!"
“…”
"Are you worthy of being the eldest lady of the Yan family like this?!"
“…”
"I think you are not even as good as a slave!"
“…”
She accused me angrily, but I hadn't even entered the door, and stood at the door, listening calmly to her reprimand. After a while, she was so angry that she was cursing herself, but when she saw that I was still calm, she said, "Why don't you speak?"
I looked up at her and looked up at her as if I had come to my senses. Then I saluted her.
"Old lady."
"..." Her brows tightened again.
I said, "Light, nothing to say."
She immediately snorted coldly: "There is nothing to say? You finally know that you are wrong and there is nothing to say!"
I said lightly: "Old Madam, Qingying is getting the news. The head of the Yan family asked me to come back and said there was something important to explain." I emphasized the four words "Head of the Yan family", and immediately saw Xue Qian's face darkening, but I still said without changing my face: "Now, I haven't seen the head of the family yet, but the old lady wants to scold me first. Although Qingying is unclear, she is in order, and she cannot disobey the old lady."
“…”
"So, I have nothing to say."
I understand what I mean - I respect you as an elder, so I won’t confront you, but this time I come back to see the head of the family.
Xue Qian's face looked even more ugly, and she gritted her teeth: "You——"
There was no warmth on my calm face, and I said lightly: "If the old lady has finished scolding her, then Qingying will go to see the head of the family first."
After saying that, I stood up again.
No one spoke at this moment.
Although Xue Qian was so angry that she was trembling with me, she could not refute what she said to me. After all, she asked Yan Zhong to call me back as the head of the Yan family. If she wanted to do anything else, I was still following Monk Wuwei and a group of people behind me. I don’t know that she would tear her face when she first met.
The time I stopped was actually very short, probably only a breath, but it was only a breath for this moment, but it felt particularly long, as if everyone's breathing and heartbeat were clearly heard, making this moment more infinitely longer.
I looked at the back of the man, but he never moved.
So, I raised my hand and saluted Xue Qian: "Since the old lady has no other instructions, Qingying will go to see the head of the family first."
After saying that, I turned around and wanted to leave.
Just as I turned around and took a step, Xue Qian looked at my figure, looked at the man again, and finally couldn't help but say, "Why, you are here this time and you don't even see your husband?"
“…”
"You are really getting worse and worse. When your mother was alive, she taught you this way? How did she teach you as a wife?"
“…”
"Hmph, you are really her daughter!"
As soon as she said this, my breathing stagnated for a moment.
But the one who reacted even more than me was the fearless monk behind me.
He immediately clenched his fists, stepped forward and glared at Xue Qian: "Old witch, how dare you scold your wife? Try saying it again!"
In fact, before I came, I had already guessed that if Xue Qian wanted to scold me, it would have been involved in my mother. In order not to affect the overall situation, I had already said hello to Wuwei Monk, but now it seems that it is useless. As long as the matter involves my mother, Wuwei Monk will not be able to calm down.
Xue Qian had met and fought with Wuwei Monk. In the Yan family, she responded to her and never dared to touch her. Wuwei Monk was an exception. She seemed to be a little timid towards this monk who dared to fight with her. When she heard Wuwei Monk's angrily scolding, her face pale and she didn't even speak again.
But, this is what we have said.
Just as Xue Qian and Wuwei Monk were in a stalemate, I saw that the man's shoulders were slight impulse again.
Then, he slowly got up and turned around to look at me.
For a moment, the air in the entire lobby seemed to be condensed.
Of course, I knew that I would meet him this time, and I had even seen him thousands of times in my imagination and had made too many preparations on the way, but when I actually met, it was still different from what I imagined.
What is different? At this moment, I could no longer tell the difference. When I looked up and met his eyes, I also practiced so skillfully in my imagination several times. I did not retreat at all, but just stood at the door and looked at those eyes calmly.
Those eyes were still faint, and the slightly curved corners were always filled with a three-point smile, and the rippling waves in their eyes were always filled with the tenderness that could melt people's hearts. At this moment, even though it was still so far away from him, I clearly saw a light flashing in his eyes, as if the sun suddenly emerged from the clouds, illuminating his eyes and illuminating his whole body.
In his eyes, it seemed that the calm lake surface was suddenly disturbed, and ripples appeared.
I saw him stretching out one hand to hold the edge of the table hard, as if he was very struggling, and finally stood up and looked at me.
