Snap, a ball of fire cut through the dim sea. Valu lit a cigarette and took a few puffs. At this time, he just wanted to calm down.
Instead of being happy, Valu was more uneasy at the moment. If this was not what Ye Xiao wanted, then their relationship might be completely broken.
Valu rubbed his head irritably and slapped himself.
"Let you drink, Valu, and you're a fucking asshole."
With that said, Valu slapped himself again, and the snap was particularly loud.
Looking at the dim sea, Valu had lost all sleep. He turned around and looked at the bedroom. After many hesitations, he finally did not dare to take a step forward and just sat on the deck chair until dawn.
The alarm on his mobile phone hit five o'clock on time. Valu stood up suddenly and was about to run in and turn off the alarm. As soon as he opened the door, he saw Ye Xiao who had already woken up. The two of them looked at each other.
How embarrassing.
Walu, who was usually eloquent, didn't know how to speak. He even had the urge to escape from here. It was not that he had not experienced last night, but those were not Ye Xiao, so the feeling inside was different.
"It's getting late, hurry up and pack up and go, don't delay the auspicious time of the wedding."
Finally, Ye Xiao took the initiative to break the silence. After saying that, he lifted the quilt and prepared to get out of bed, but as soon as he moved, his brows wrinkled. It seemed that last night was completely crazy, and everything got out of control in the end, and this
The result is heartbreaking.
Valu didn't miss the expression on Ye Xiao's face. He immediately understood what was going on and immediately stepped forward and said.
"How about you rest here today, I'll go talk to Beichen about the best man and let him rearrange his arrangements."
"No, do you want everyone to know what happened last night?"
With that said, Ye Xiao pushed away Valu, stood up on the edge of the bed, and then walked to the bathroom in a strange posture.
Valu was worried and hurriedly followed him. He saw Ye Xiao standing at the door with a painful look on his face, like a child who had made a mistake, and said.
"Xiao, I'm a fucking bastard. You can hit me or scold me. I never thought I would do that to you after drinking too much."
Valu looked at Ye Xiao not far away with a guilty look on his face, sincerely repenting.
But who knew that Ye Xiao said something at this time.
"Valu, you were just a drunk drunk last night. What do you think you can do to me if I want to refuse? You have nothing to do with me. It's all done consensually."
Hearing this, Valu's eyes lit up for a moment. Did this mean that he had hope again? But then, Ye Xiao's words made Valu's heart fall to the bottom again.
"Valu, just think of it as compensation for taking care of me in the past few years. I am already engaged and the wedding date has been set. Since I have participated in the battle of the Ye family, I have no way out, so I
We must win this battle, otherwise, my mother and I will be doomed, so from now on, we can only be friends."
"Why? Xiao, since you didn't refuse last night, it means you have feelings in your heart. I don't believe that all this is just for compensation. Also, isn't it just to take the position of the head of the Ye family? I can help you, I
I have long said that I can give you whatever you want, and I can guarantee the safety of you and your mother."
Valu was angry. If he had said that without what happened last night, he would still be indifferent, but now, if he can still be friends, he would be deceiving himself.
But Ye Xiao was very calm, or in other words, since the out-of-control things happened last night, he had figured out how to face them and how to solve them.
Ye Xiao turned off the faucet, picked up the bath towel on the side and put it on, then walked to Valu and said with an indifferent expression.
"Valu, since I was a child, I have been escaping, escaping from the pressure of those in the Ye family, escaping from the pressure my mother put on me, and finally I started to run away from you again. I don't want to live like this forever, yes, you are
You can help me get all this, and you can also ensure the safety of me and my mother, but in the end, I still live under the protection of others. Am I unable to escape the protection of others in my life?"
"What do you call this..."
Valu was anxious and wanted to explain, but Ye Xiao didn't give him a chance at all.
"Valu, listen to me. I have always been grateful to you, and I don't deny that I have different feelings for you than I do for Beichen and Jie. But I am my mother's son, and I have already let her down.
I can't keep letting her down like this for more than ten years. Do you know? Six months ago, my mother's medical examination report showed gastric cancer. No one knew about it. No one in the Ye family, including my father, knew about it."
"How could this happen? Why haven't I received any news at all?"
Valu was stunned. He had been arranging people to protect Ye Xiao secretly. If there was any trouble in the Ye family, he would receive the information immediately. But he didn't expect that he didn't know about it.
Ye Xiao listened and smiled lightly. In fact, he knew what Valu had arranged. He didn't say it because he knew that nothing would change if he said it.
"My mother didn't want to say it herself. You think she went to live abroad, but in fact she went to get medical treatment."
"Xiao, listen to me. The cure rate for cancer is very high now. I'll help you find the best doctor. Yes, let's go find Ouyang Jie for help."
Valu knew very well how important Ye Xiao's mother was to Ye Xiao. It could be said that even if the Ye family died, Ye Xiao would not shed a single tear, but even if his mother scratched her skin, Ye Xiao would feel uncomfortable for most of the day.
When Ye Xiao heard what Valu said, he shook his head and said.
"Forget it, if it can be cured, I won't tell you this now. I have asked several doctors. They can only slow down the spread of cancer cells. It is difficult to completely cure because they have already missed it.
The best period of treatment.”
Having said this, Ye Xiao looked up at Valu, took a deep breath, and continued.
"Do you understand now? I can't let my mother down anymore. As long as she is alive, I must follow her arrangements. My mother has always wanted me to find a woman to get married and have children, so I must do this.
I can't let her leave with regrets."
After saying that, Ye Xiao took a step forward, and the two stood close to each other. When Valu was stunned, Ye Xiao suddenly hugged him, patted him on the back and said.
"Valu, thank you for everything you have done for me over the years, but we can only be friends in this life, take care."
After saying that, Ye Xiao let go of Valu, then quickly walked to the bedroom, changed into last night's clothes, and left the wooden house as quickly as possible.
From beginning to end, Valu didn't say another word. He was still stuck in the thoughts of Ye Xiao's mother's illness. All of this happened so suddenly. It wasn't until he heard the slamming of the door that Valu completely woke up and looked at the girl next to him.
With the door closed, Valu sat helplessly on the end of the bed. He knew that the relationship between him and Ye Xiao was completely over.
At 7:30 in the morning, the island gradually became lively. At the pier in the distance, the last batch of guests finally arrived on the island.
In the largest villa on the island, the bride-to-be Xiao Siluo had already put on the gorgeous Xiuhe suit and was doing her final makeup.
Sister Lulu has styled countless celebrities and entertainers, and this is the first time she has participated in such a luxurious wedding.
From morning to now, she has met twenty or thirty important people who can only be seen on TV. After meeting the Xiao family, these people all looked kind and cheerful, without any pretense at all.
"Si Luo, do you know that once your identity was revealed, the domestic entertainment industry exploded? You actually hid it from everyone for more than four years. Aren't those paparazzi in the past very powerful? They didn't even discover your identity.
This is so abnormal."
Sister Lulu said excitedly while styling Xiao Siluo's hair. Xiao Siluo just sat there quietly, smiling, listening, and being a beautiful bride.
"Okay, Sister Lulu, how many times have you told me this morning, aren't you thirsty?"
Liu Liu on the side couldn't stand it anymore and could only interrupt. Sister Lulu smiled and said.
"Aren't I too excited? I saw Princess Sophia just now, and she actually came too. If this wedding is photographed by the media, it will definitely explode."
"That's why we chose this private island. I don't want my wedding to become an eye-catching farce. I just want everyone who comes to my wedding to have fun and feel my happiness."
Xiao Siluo finally spoke. There were no media reporters in this wedding, and the wedding guests were notified in advance that the wedding video was not allowed to be shared. Of course, the photos he took before and after the wedding did not matter, it was just that the entire wedding process was not allowed to be shared.
.
Sister Lulu is also a smart person. She knew that Xiao Siluo was reminding her, so she jokingly said to the assistants who helped the bridesmaids make up.
"You guys should also pay attention. When the wedding starts, you'll all put your mobile phones away. Do you understand?"
Those little assistants are not stupid either. If they had previously thought that they could get the information about the wedding scene and secretly sell it to the media to make some extra money, but since they learned Xiao Siluo's identity, this idea was immediately given up.
It’s a joke, just to make some extra money, if I offend the Xiao family, I’m afraid I won’t even be able to find a decent job in the future.
Seeing what Sister Lulu said, Xiao Siluo smiled and agreed.
"Sister Lulu, don't be so serious. You scared them. Don't worry. Except for the wedding process, you can take photos of everything else. I also want you to help me promote this island. It will be officially opened to the public on the 18th.
Please help us advertise, and there is a 40% discount for the first two months."
"Really? Sister Siluo, don't worry, we will help promote it well. It's so comfortable here that I don't want to leave after I come here."
"If you like to stay, you can stay on the island for a few more days. The clearance will only start on the 10th."
Xiao Siluo said softly, he chose this place because of the relatively high level of privacy and because the guests could stay here for a few more days after attending the wedding and save themselves from running around all day long.
