Being caught in the middle of an intimate moment, Ye Yanxi wished she could find a hole to crawl into. But it wasn't Jiang Ye's fault.
"Now that you've seen us here, you can leave."
"..." Jiang Ye was a bit stunned and said in disbelief, "You're being too much! This isn't a hotel owned by your family. It should be you guys who leave!"
Xiao Yu scoffed, "If it's not owned by our Xiao family, is it owned by your Jiang family?"
"This is owned by my niece's in - laws. So what if I stay here?" Jiang Ye wasn't willing to back down at all.
Xiao Yu's face turned even colder. "Well, this is also my nephew's place. Who's closer? Do you think you're qualified to stay?"
Jiang Ye was outwitted and got so angry that he was fuming. Suddenly, he cursed maliciously, "I wish Ye Yanxi would become my niece. Then you'll have to call me uncle with her."
"Dream on!" Xiao Yu affectionately hugged Ye Yanxi. "You only have one niece, He Man. Xiaoxi will never become your niece."
"Anyway, my sister wants to adopt her as a god - daughter." Jiang Ye had made up his mind and decided to let his sister step in.
Xiao Yu broke into a big smile. "Your sister's idea of adopting Xiaoxi as a god - daughter has already been rejected."
Ye Yanxi looked up at Xiao Yu, her eyes full of surprise.
At that time, she had asked Xiao Yu if he would mind if Mrs. He really adopted her as a god - daughter. He had firmly opposed the idea back then.
Maybe he just didn't want to call Jiang Ye uncle.
This man was so stingy that he wouldn't want to lose even a little bit.
However, Ye Yanxi actually liked this about him.
Jiang Ye was completely at a loss. His arrogance was deflated, but he still stubbornly said, "The wedding is about to start. The guests are about to be seated. What are you guys still doing here? Do you want more people to see you being intimate?"
Hearing this, Ye Yanxi's face immediately flushed with embarrassment.
But Xiao Yu beside her didn't seem to care at all. "So what if they see? This is between me and Xiaoxi. It's none of your business, right?"
Ye Yanxi was so embarrassed that she didn't dare to look at Jiang Ye. She reached out and tugged on Xiao Yu's sleeve, whispering, "What are you talking about? If you keep talking nonsense, I won't talk to you anymore. The wedding is about to start. Let's go out."
Actually, she was a bit worried that Xiao Yu might do something out of the ordinary. After all, his face was thick enough to shock everyone. She cared about her reputation and didn't have the nerve.
Xiao Yu remained silent, but he was very unhappy in his heart. Not only did Ye Yanxi not help him, but she was also helping Jiang Ye.
Jiang Ye knew well the consequences of angering Xiao Yu. So he stopped teasing him. "Alright, fine. I'll go out and find another place. I'll leave this place to you guys. Do as you like."
After saying that, Jiang Ye slowly walked out. He deliberately passed by Xiao Yu and Ye Yanxi. When he reached the door, he turned back and said, "Judging from how lovey - dovey you guys are, is your good thing coming soon?"
Ye Yanxi was a bit stunned and subconsciously wanted to refute. But Xiao Yu beside her said, "Don't worry. When there's good news, you'll be the first to know."
"Okay. I won't bother you guys anymore." Jiang Ye smiled and pushed the door open to leave.
After Jiang Ye left and only the two of them were left, Ye Yanxi was about to suggest leaving when she heard Xiao Yu say, "How about we announce our relationship today?"
Ye Yanxi was shocked and quickly said, "No."
"No?" Xiao Yu was displeased. "Why not? Are you not willing?"
Knowing that Xiao Yu always cared a lot about this, Ye Yanxi bit her lip. "I haven't graduated yet. If our relationship is known to the outside world, there will definitely be a stir in school. It will affect my studies. I still want to focus on my studies now. How about we wait until after graduation?"
Ye Yanxi's reason didn't convince Xiao Yu at all. "If it's about studying, you can go abroad. If you're afraid of others' gossip, no one will recognize you abroad, so they won't know."
"That won't work either. News spreads on the Internet both at home and abroad. No matter where I go, people will know. I can't keep changing schools, right?" Ye Yanxi gritted her teeth and reminded him.
Seeing Ye Yanxi being so persistent, although Xiao Yu was unhappy, he had to let it go for the time being. "Alright, then I'll follow your suggestion for now. We'll announce it after you graduate."
Ye Yanxi didn't expect Xiao Yu to compromise for her. This overbearing and powerful man doted on her so much, which touched her heart. But at the same time, a wave of sadness welled up in her heart. However, she didn't show it on her face.
"The wedding is about to start. You go first. Otherwise, it will be troublesome if someone comes and sees us." Ye Yanxi pushed Xiao Yu, trying to get him to go out.
Xiao Yu didn't move. "Let's go out together."
"You just promised me." Ye Yanxi glared at him angrily.
Xiao Yu's bright eyes stared at her face. "If you want me to go first, then shouldn't you comfort me?"
Ye Yanxi saw what he was thinking from his eyes. Her cheeks immediately flushed. She looked around, then stood on tiptoe and quickly kissed his lips. "Okay, is this okay now?"
But Xiao Yu curled his lips and stared at her half - smiling.
Her cheeks were now flushed with shyness. Her white teeth gently bit her lips, which glistened with a crystal - clear red luster, making people want to taste them again. Her eyes were a bit panicked, probably because she was afraid that someone would suddenly barge in. Xiao Yu chuckled and suddenly pulled her into his arms, deeply kissing her lips again. He only let her go when she punched his chest with her small fist.
Her forehead was resting on his chest. Xiao Yu pulled her away a bit and his fingers lingered on her lips. His low voice was full of charm. "You go with Mrs. Jiang and the others. After it's over, I'll come to pick you up. We'll go back together."
His voice was deep and his breathing was a bit unsteady. Ye Yanxi felt a tingle in her ears, but she had to look up at him and then nodded blankly and replied, "Okay!"
After getting the satisfactory answer, Xiao Yu pushed the door open and left, leaving Ye Yanxi alone leaning against the wall, trying to calm her breathing. After she had calmed down a bit, she straightened her clothes and then walked out.
But as soon as she pushed the door open, she saw an unexpected person at the door. The moment their eyes met, Ye Yanxi felt as if her whole body was frozen and her facial expression stiffened.
"Mr... Mr. Xiao, hello!" After a moment of daze, Ye Yanxi quickly greeted him.
The person standing outside the door was none other than Xiao Yu's grandfather, Mr. Xiao.
Why was he here? When did he come? Had he heard all the conversations between her and Xiao Yu behind the door?
Thinking of this, Ye Yanxi felt extremely nervous and uneasy.
Mr. Xiao stood at the door expressionlessly. There were several tall and straight military men standing behind him. Mr. Xiao pushed the door open and walked in. Suddenly, there were only the two of them in the room.
"I thought you had already forgotten who I was!" Mr. Xiao sized her up and said in a cold tone.
Ye Yanxi stood there a bit awkwardly. Hearing this, she immediately replied, "How could I? Of course I remember you, Mr. Xiao."
Not only did she remember, but the impression was also quite deep!
"Then have you already forgotten what I said?" Mr. Xiao stared at her again.
"Of course not!" Ye Yanxi bit her lip and smiled self - deprecatingly. "Don't worry. I'll leave him as you asked."
"But so many days have passed and you haven't taken any action at all. This will only make Xiaoyu sink deeper. I'll give you at most two days. Two days later, I want to hear the news of your leaving."
Two days?
Ye Yanxi felt a sense of emptiness in her heart, but she forced a smile and nodded. "Okay, then two days later. I'll definitely give you a satisfactory result, Mr. Xiao."
"Do it well for your own good!" After saying that, Mr. Xiao walked out. His imposing manner was so powerful that no one could resist. But Ye Yanxi's heart ached.
Jiang Ye, who had just left, was staying in the adjacent banquet hall. Hearing the commotion next door, he couldn't help but poke his head out curiously. As a result, he saw Mr. Xiao walking out with a cold and imposing air. The military men behind him also left in an orderly manner.
Just as he was wondering what had happened, the door was pushed open again and Ye Yanxi came out.
Ye Yanxi's face looked extremely dejected and her eyes were dim, which was completely different from the sunny look when she was with Xiao Yu.
Huh? Wasn't Ye Yanxi with Xiao Yu? Why did Mr. Xiao come out? Where was Xiao Yu? What had happened?
Could it be... Mr. Xiao and Ye Yanxi...?
His thoughts were racing. Jiang Ye suddenly slapped his forehead. What was he thinking? It was all nonsense.
But why did Mr. Xiao come out with Ye Yanxi? Looking at Ye Yanxi's expression, well, there must be something going on.
Did Xiao Yu know about this? Should he go and tell on them?
Maybe he was just overthinking.
Forget it. It's better not to meddle too much in the Xiao family's affairs. He might get into trouble.
Moreover, Xiao Yu was as sly as his grandfather. They were both not easy characters.
They were not to be messed with. Jiang Ye stood there thinking for a while. There was a battle going on in his mind. In the end, he couldn't come up with a good idea, so he left the banquet hall dejectedly.
