It's about ten minutes' walk from the garden to the main house.
Lin Zhiyi said: "I've been a little busy during this period and haven't been able to see Miss Ruan. Are you still used to living here?"
Ruan Xingwan smiled slightly: "Very good."
Can eat, drink and sleep.
Lin Zhiyi looked at Ruan Xingwan's belly and said, "We haven't seen each other for just a few days. I didn't expect your belly to be so big. She must be giving birth soon."
Ruan Xingwan didn't tell her the specific month, but just nodded lightly.
In fact, she couldn't tell you specifically how she felt about Lin Zhiyi.
Lin Zhiyi was indeed a lady from a well-known family, elegant and well-educated. She was not as domineering and brutal as Zhou Anan, but her care made Ruan Xingwan always feel uncomfortable.
Firstly, it was because her relationship with Lin Zhiyi was awkward, and secondly, she also knew very well that the reason why Lin Zhiyi was so kind to her must have his own plans.
How could one person be so nice to another person for no reason, and they had only known each other for a short time, not even being considered friends.
The key is that there is Zhou Cishen in the middle.
However, it is also possible that she is narrow-minded and uses her own assumptions to guess others, but if it were her, she would definitely not be able to do it.
After arriving at the bedroom door, Ruan Xingwan said: "Thank you, Miss Lin."
Lin Zhiyi smiled and said, "You're welcome."
After a pause, she added: "By the way, I made an appointment with An An to go shopping this afternoon. Do you want Miss Ruan to come with me?"
"No need, Zhou Anan and I will quarrel whenever we meet."
"I forgot about this..." Lin Zhiyi said again, "I was thinking that Miss Ruan has been bored here for several days. It would be good to go out for a walk. But don't worry, Miss Ruan, as long as I am here, An An will be safe."
You're just messing around, you can think about it, we don't have to go until the afternoon anyway."
Ruan Xingwan smiled politely, nodded in greeting, and then returned to his room.
Lin Zhiyi turned around and left. After a few steps, Zhou Anan walked out from the corner, with unhappiness written all over her face: "Sister Zhiyi, what did you ask her to do? It's annoying to see her."
Lin Zhiyi said: "An'an, no matter what you say about Miss Ruan, she is also my cousin's ex-wife. You can't say that about her."
Zhou Anan smiled disdainfully: "It's just the ex-wife. If she hadn't been pregnant with this child, does she think she would be able to step into the Zhou family again in this life.
Besides, my cousin is going to marry you soon, so of course her ex-wife will get away as far as she wants."
Zhou Cishen was in the garden at this moment, and Zhou Anan had been holding back his anger for several days. Naturally, he cursed unscrupulously. He was even afraid that Ruan Xingwan wouldn't hear, so he deliberately raised his voice.
Lin Zhiyi seemed a little helpless: "An An..."
Ruan Xingwan sat in the room, took out his headphones and turned on the music to isolate himself from the outside world.
No matter what Lin Zhiyi wanted to do by approaching her, she had to leave. As long as she spent these few days safely without any accidents.
During lunch, because of Lin Zhiyi, the atmosphere at the entire table seemed even more weird and wonderful.
But no one else seemed to think anything was wrong, but Ruan Xingwan felt uncomfortable anywhere.
She could only eat with her head lowered and take small bites, trying her best to reduce her sense of existence.
I just hope this meal will pass quickly.
But obviously, the reality was not what she expected.
Halfway through the meal, Lin Zhiyi looked at Zhou Cishen: "Cishen, it just so happens that you have a day off today and didn't go to the company. An An and I are going shopping in the afternoon, will you come with us?
I just happened to buy some things for the wedding."
As soon as these words came out, the air in the entire dining room seemed to freeze.
Of course, Mr. Zhou was the one who bore the brunt and was most unhappy.
Without waiting for Zhou Cishen to answer, he put down the tableware, calmed down and then said: "Zhiyi, you and Cishen decided to get married too hastily, not to mention that the situation is complicated now, it is better to wait until the child is born before we can think about it in the long term.
"
"I know, uncle, the wedding must wait until Miss Ruan gives birth to the child, but there is not much time, so it is not too early to start preparations now."
"It's better to take some time to discuss this matter with your father. Since you have decided to get married, you shouldn't be in a hurry now."
Hearing this, Lin Zhiyi bit her lower lip secretly before regaining her smile: "Uncle is right, don't be in a hurry.
Even longer time has passed."
At this time, Zhong Xian suddenly said: "What do you think of Cishen?"
Including Zhou Cishen, no one at the table probably expected that she would suddenly become concerned about Zhou Cishen's thoughts.
He raised his eyelids and looked at Zhong Xian, his expression showing no emotion.
Zhong Xian said: "I watched Zhiyi grow up, and she is also half of my daughter. Of course I have to worry more about you getting married.
If you think you want to hold the wedding in advance, you can leave this matter to me and I will arrange everything."
Zhou Junnian said: "Let's talk about this later."
Zhong Xian ignored his interruption and just said: "It's rare for our family to sit down and have a simple meal together, and Zhiyi is here, so why not take this opportunity to finalize this matter first.
Zhiyi is getting married for the first time, so she should be well prepared."
"As for the kids."
As she said that, she glanced at Ruan Xingwan, who was silent in the corner, "The marriage was divorced long ago, and there is no conflict between the two."
Zhou Cishen did not answer, his expression was extremely cold.
Lin Zhiyi came to the rescue and said: "Thank you, aunt, for your concern, but my uncle is right. Since Cishen and I have decided to get married, it doesn't matter if it's earlier or later."
Zhong Xian continued: "Sooner or later, it still matters. How much a person likes you can be seen from this."
The entire dinner table fell into silence again.
Even if Ruan Xingwan didn't raise her head, she could still feel a few eyes glancing at her vaguely when they were talking.
She even felt that she should get under the table. In this case, the scene would be much more exciting.
There is no need for everyone to have some things that are difficult to say clearly because of her existence.
In other words, this Hongmen Banquet was originally meant for her.
Every moment, every second, she was reminded of how ignored and disliked her marriage to Zhou Cishen was, just like her own existence now.
Just when everyone thought Zhou Cishen would not answer, he said quietly: "There is indeed no conflict."
He said: "It doesn't matter whether it's sooner or later, but I always like to do things in advance."
Zhou Cishen's meaning was obvious, he agreed to hold the wedding as soon as possible.
