Obviously, the prospective father-in-law was planning to let him go.
However, he was destined not to have a tryst with a beautiful woman tonight. Didn't he see Ye Chengli standing with his back to him, but he just refused to enter the room? He was obviously waiting for him to leave...
Gu Xinian resisted the urge to wipe off the cold sweat, put away his rare guilty conscience, then walked to the wall obediently, and climbed up the wall as when he came. Before jumping off the wall, Gu Xinian resisted
I couldn't help but glance in the direction of Ye Qinglan's boudoir. The beautiful woman was so close, but she was so close, it was really frustrating...
Ye Chengli heard there was no movement behind him and looked back in confusion.
…
Gu Xinian's hand slipped and he almost fell off the wall. Under the slightly unhappy and worried eyes of his prospective father-in-law, Gu Xinian jumped down in an unsightly manner. He probably landed unsteadily and made a muffled sound.
.
Ye Chengli was speechless, and for some reason he had the urge to laugh again.
This bastard is so courageous! He actually wears such conspicuous clothes to visit the boudoir at night... Wait, looking at his familiar behavior, isn't this the first time?
Ye Chengli's brows wrinkled.
The next day happened to be a day off, so there was no need to go to the official office. After breakfast, Ye Chengli specially called Ye Qinglan to come to the study to talk.
After a year, Ye Qinglan has grown a lot taller, and her originally youthful face has gained the charm and grace of a young girl. With a slight smile and a graceful appearance, she is clearly similar to her rosy face back then, but it is more than a step better.
.It seems that in just a blink of an eye, the immature little girl of yesteryear has grown into a beautiful young girl.
Ye Chengli felt proud of having a daughter in our family, but when he thought about last night, he felt a little complicated...
Ye Qinglan waited for a long time and didn't hear what Ye Chengli said, and she felt secretly strange. Looking at Ye Chengli's complex and sad expression, she felt even more strange. In the past few months, she had been keeping to herself, not leaving the door or taking a step forward.
There was no direct conflict with Mr. Xue, so there should be nothing that would make Ye Chengli unhappy, right?
After a long while, Ye Chengli opened his mouth and said, "Lan'er, you haven't been out of the house for a long time since the Lantern Festival!"
Ye Qinglan calmed down and replied with a smile: "Yes, it has been more than four months." These days, she has had a serious taste of the life of an ancient lady. Every day she is learning the cooking skills of female celebrities and how to manage a household.
However, although it is a bit boring, it is also peaceful and peaceful.
As for Xue, the focus of the struggle has now shifted to Hung Hom.
After the child was one month old, Hongxiao officially became a concubine. And because of Ye Chengli's special love, her status in the Hefeng Courtyard skyrocketed. Now she became a thorn in Xue's side. Xue was busy dealing with Hongxiao, but he let Ye Qinglan go.
Quite a few. Of course, it is also possible that Xue has completely realized that she no longer has the strength to deal with Ye Qinglan, so Xue has really stopped.
Ye Chengli coughed and suddenly smiled and said, "If you feel bored staying in the house, you might as well go out and walk around."
Ye Qinglan was stunned for a rare moment, almost thinking that there was something wrong with her ears. A girl who has been engaged cannot leave the house easily. This is a common etiquette. After Ye Qingning got engaged, she stayed in the boudoir until she got married. Even if the Zheng family
No matter how much he dotes on her, he has never been soft-hearted on this point. Ye Chengli suddenly said such a sentence, what is his intention? He must not be tempted!
A series of thoughts flashed through his mind, and Ye Qinglan responded with a natural smile: "My daughter stays in the yard every day to learn piano skills and other things. Her life is very fulfilling and busy, and she doesn't feel bored at all. She is a piece of her father.
My good intention. My daughter understands it. As for leaving the house, there is no need."
Hearing this satisfactory answer, Ye Chengli was very pleased. But when he thought of Gu Xinian's shocking behavior last night, Ye Chengli's head began to hurt again. After weighing it for a moment, he said: "Studying is important, but it also needs to be done.
Balance work and rest. Occasionally go out for a visit and relax. Maybe you will be in a better mood when you come back and learn things faster."
Ye Qinglan: "..."
The father and daughter looked at each other wordlessly for a moment, and Ye Qinglan finally asked: "Father, did my daughter do something wrong?" Ye Chengli's words and actions today were so weird that it was difficult not to think of suspicion.
Ye Chengli looked at those clear and innocent eyes, frowned at first, and then took a deep breath as if he had made up his mind: "Last night, after I got up and lost sleep, I went out and walked around casually. Unexpectedly,
I saw a figure that should never have been there."
Ye Qinglan's eyes suddenly widened, and she didn't have to pretend to be in disbelief.
It's not what she thought...
"You guessed it right, that person is your future husband Gu Xinian." Ye Chengli looked unhappy: "I was really shocked at the time, and it was inconvenient to alert others, so I had to let him go."
...No wonder Ye Chengli's attitude was so strange today, and he tried his best to persuade her to go out as a guest. The relationship was to create opportunities for her to meet Gu Xinian, so as to prevent Gu Xinian from doing something similar again!
Ye Qinglan figured out the reason and felt angry and funny. What made her angry was Gu Xinian's boldness, but what was funny was Ye Chengli's reaction! It turned out that he was short-tongued and soft-handed, and he took advantage of Gu Xinian.
The prospective father-in-law had to reluctantly create opportunities for his future son-in-law to meet his daughter in private...
Of course, it’s good to be aware of this kind of thing, and you must never tell it to your mouth. You have to take care of Ye Chengli’s face!
Ye Qinglan held back her smile and lowered her eyelids.
Ye Chengli made such a decision after a lot of hesitation and consideration. He couldn't explain it clearly, so he hinted in a roundabout way: "You stay in the yard every day, and you will inevitably feel depressed. It's better to go to Zheng Guogong's residence for a few days, just to keep you company.
Sixth Sister." Gu Xinian will definitely know how to seize such an opportunity.
Anyway, as long as we don't meet in Uncle Changyuan's house, he has the right to pretend that he doesn't know anything!
Ye Qinglan didn't say anything this time, just agreed meekly. It was a rare opportunity to leave the house, and Ye Chengli personally agreed, so only a fool would push such a good thing out. As for the Xue family, as long as Ye Chengli came forward, she would naturally not be needed.
Worry no more.
"You don't have to say anything to your mother, just let me talk to her." Ye Chengli paused and asked implicitly: "Is this the first time he behaves like this?"
Ye Qinglan responded without thinking: "Yes, it has never happened before." This kind of thing cannot be explained even to death.
Ye Chengli glanced at her and finally felt a little relieved when he saw her calm expression.
I have to say that Ye Chengli's work efficiency is really top-notch. I told Mr. Xue about it that day, and Mr. Xue basically doesn't ask anything about Ye Qinglan now - it's useless to ask anyway, so he might as well nod his head readily.
Immediately afterwards, Ye Chengli mentioned the matter to Zheng again. Although Zheng was a little surprised, she didn't ask any more questions. That night, she sent a letter to Duke Zheng's mansion.
As for Ye Qinglan, she has already started to order the maids around her to pack their clothes and luggage.
The maids were also very excited about this unexpected visit. They kept asking: "Miss, why are you suddenly going to Duke Zheng's residence?"
"Yes, according to the rules, a young lady shouldn't leave the house at will once she's engaged!"
Ye Qinglan smiled: "Father felt sorry for me that I was too bored studying every day, so he specifically allowed me to stay at Zheng Guogong's Mansion for a few days to relax."
This high-sounding reason was enough to deal with the maids. Only the smart Ruixue and the careful Ruomei noticed something was wrong. However, both of them were calm by nature and did not ask any more questions in front of the other maids.
The next day, Ye Qinglan went to Zheng Guogong's mansion in a carriage.
The two sisters reunited after a long absence. Naturally, they were very happy and affectionate when they met. They held hands and chatted for a long time, wishing they could tell each other all the trivial things that happened around them.
"...By the way, I haven't had time to ask you yet. How come you have the opportunity to go out as a guest?" Ye Qingning was excited for a long time before asking the real question.
Ye Qinglan smiled and said nothing.
Ye Qingning immediately understood and winked at the maids. After all the maids had retreated, he asked again: "What is going on? I should be able to tell you now!"
Still the same impatience! Ye Qinglan laughed dumbly and told the whole story in a low voice.
Ye Qingning first widened his eyes, then pursed his lips and laughed: "I really admire my cousin for having such courage to sneak over the wall to find you in the middle of the night. What's even more admirable is that,
Not only is Third Uncle not angry, he actually allows you to leave the house as a guest and tacitly allows you two to meet in private..."
Ye Qinglan also thought this was ridiculous and laughed with Ye Qingning.
"It's a pity that none of us were there at the time and couldn't see my cousin's expression when he was caught red-handed." Ye Qingning unkindly imagined the scene at that time, and then laughed so hard that his belly hurt.
Ye Qinglan didn't have much sympathy and shrugged casually: "No matter how thick-skinned he is, he will definitely feel embarrassed in such a situation."
Ye Qingning wiped the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief, and then asked enthusiastically: "My cousin is so familiar with the road, it must not be the first time I have come to find you in the middle of the night! Tell me quickly, when was the first time?"
Ye Qinglan naturally refused to answer this question. Zuo Guyan said, "By the way, why haven't you seen your brother-in-law after being here for so long?"
Ye Qingning rolled his eyes at her dissatisfied: "Hey, don't hide when the topic comes to the point. If there is anything you don't dare to tell me, I won't tell others."
...I really won't tell others, I will just bring it up to make fun of her in the future.
Ye Qinglan thought silently and resolutely kept the secret: "He has never come to see me in the middle of the night before. This is the first time, and his father caught him."
"What caught you?" A familiar voice suddenly sounded by the door. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my greatest motivation.
