"Take good care of yourself. Don't be so reckless anymore. Ye Erlan stayed up all night watching over you last night," Lin Xian said with some concern.
"Elder Sister Yu Nian, what exactly happened to Ye Zi's eyes?" Lin Xian asked worriedly.
Mentioning this, Yu Nian felt a twinge of heartache. For a designer, eye problems were truly the most serious issue, especially for a designer of Ye Erlan's status.
It was a winter. Ye Erlan was rushing to finish a design for the British royal family. He was extremely stressed out, staying up for a long period without rest. The long - term overuse of his eyes and brain led to temporary blindness. It took him a while to recover, and since then, he had avoided sunlight as much as possible.
After some time of recuperation, he gradually got better. Later, he slowly adapted to the sunlight there. After returning, it took him a few days to adjust. However, his eyes were still very fragile.
"His eyes... Well, we've seen countless doctors, but it hasn't helped much. They all said he should rest and take good care of himself. But that guy, once he gets into work, he forgets about everything. He often stays up late. Ning Qian and I have been trying to persuade him. Fortunately, his eyes haven't given him any trouble recently," Yu Nian said.
After hearing this, Lin Xian felt even worse. If she hadn't been so reckless yesterday, Ye Erlan wouldn't have stayed up late for her. His eyes were clearly swollen and blood - shot this morning.
Seeing Lin Xian's expression, Yu Nian knew exactly what she was thinking. "Erlan was just worried about you. It's okay. He's gone back to rest," she said.
She couldn't persuade Lin Xian any further because she knew Lin Xian was stubborn and wouldn't listen. She could only wait for Lin Xian to figure things out on her own. In fact, it all boiled down to love. Ye Erlan cared about Lin Xian.
At this point, Yu Nian didn't know what else to say. Her original intention was to find out how the two of them felt about each other. Now that she knew, she felt relieved. After instructing Lin Xian to rest well, she left.
As soon as she stepped out of the door, she received a call from Xiao Mubai. "Sister - in - law, are you busy?"
"No. I'm visiting a friend in the hospital," Yu Nian replied.
Xiao Mubai immediately guessed who it was. "Lin Xian?"
"Yeah. How did you know?" Yu Nian was surprised because Xiao Yubai had blocked the news.
"I guessed," Xiao Mubai said.
He really did guess. In his mind, apart from their own group, the person Yu Nian cared about most was Lin Xian. Since he hadn't heard of anyone else being sick, it must be Lin Xian.
"Xiao Bai, what do you want to talk to me about?" Yu Nian asked.
"Sister - in - law, there's something I don't know if I should say or not," Xiao Mubai hesitated.
"Go ahead..." Yu Nian said. A thought flashed through her mind. She kind of knew what he was going to say.
"Sister - in - law, you and my brother are getting married soon, right?"
"Yeah. The date has already been set," Yu Nian replied.
"Sister - in - law..." He took a deep breath and continued, "I think you're getting too close to Lin Xian. Even though he's an artist under your company, there should be a limit. We know what's going on, but what will others think? And Lin Xian has been involved in so many scandals."
After Xiao Mubai finished speaking, there was a moment of silence. Yu Nian didn't know how to respond. The main problem was that some things couldn't be revealed for the time being. There had always been a big conflict between Xiao Mubai and Lin Xian. They just couldn't stand each other.
But things should be better now. Xiao Mubai and Ye Erlan were on good terms. If Ye Erlan could act as a mediator, the problem would probably be solved. There was no need to make things so complicated.
"Xiao Bai," Yu Nian said helplessly, "There's nothing going on between Lin Xian and me. You don't need to worry about this. You're a good kid, and so is Lin Xian. Your brother and I hope that you two can get along well, just like brothers."
Hearing this, Xiao Mubai got even angrier. Why didn't his sister - in - law understand? He had made himself so clear. The most important thing was, what would his stupid brother think? Even he himself thought their relationship seemed unusual. What would his brother, as Lin Xian's fiancé, think?
But Yu Nian still said such things even after he had said so much. Didn't she realize that their relationship was awkward? Where did that leave his brother? They looked just like what people outside were saying, a rich woman keeping a young star. And she even wanted him to be friends with Lin Xian and treat him like a brother?
If it weren't for the fact that Yu Nian had helped Lin Xian become famous, he would have used his power to block Lin Xian long ago. He didn't dare to argue with Yu Nian, so he just hung up the phone.
Hearing the phone being hung up, Yu Nian sighed helplessly. She didn't know why Xiao Mubai had such a bad attitude towards Lin Xian. In fact, if there was any real influence, it wasn't that big. Xiao Yubai knew the ins and outs, and she and Lin Xian kept a proper distance. They mainly communicated about work. It wasn't as bad as what outsiders said.
Xiao Mubai, she really didn't know what he was thinking. He had always been targeting Lin Xian. Both she and Xiao Yubai had advised him many times, but it was all in vain. This was the first time he had hung up on her like this.
Yu Nian shook her head and then went straight to the garage. At this time, Xiao Yubai should still be at home. She had to talk to him.
When she got home, she saw Xiao Yubai cooking. It was really out of character for the usually cold - looking man. He looked just like a househusband, very virtuous.
" Nian Nian, you're back," Xiao Yubai said as he walked over and hugged her tightly, rubbing his head against her collarbone.
"Stop it," Yu Nian said with a smile and then walked towards the sofa. "Come here. I have something to tell you."
Xiao Yubai didn't say anything. He took off his apron and sat down next to Yu Nian. "What's up?" he asked thoughtfully. It was rare to see Yu Nian being so serious.
Although they weren't married yet, their relationship was already like an old married couple's. They had a great understanding of each other and there were no differences in their plans.
Yu Nian sighed and then continued, "Just now, Xiao Bai called me."
"Really?" Xiao Yubai had an idea in his mind. He knew his younger brother's character well. He must have said something inappropriate to Yu Nian.
"He really doesn't like Lin Xian. He almost got into a conflict with me today. Do you think I should tell him the secret behind this? Otherwise, this situation won't improve," Yu Nian said.
Now Xiao Yubai understood. It was still because of Lin Xian. He had told his younger brother many times, but that stupid kid just wouldn't listen. He couldn't do anything about it. Since his brother hadn't done anything too extreme, he hadn't intervened. But now his brother was going too far. He had even caused trouble in front of Yu Nian.
His precious fiancée was more important than that stupid and disobedient younger brother. But he also thought that those things couldn't be told to Xiao Mubai for the time being. If his brother betrayed them, the consequences would be serious.
"No. Don't pay attention to him. I'll talk to him next time. As for Lin Xian, let him rest for now. I won't let Xiao Bai bother him," Xiao Yubai said.
Yu Nian nodded. This was the best outcome. If those things were really revealed, the consequences would be beyond their control.
Suddenly, she thought of something and excitedly started to share it with Xiao Yubai. "I'll tell you something."
"Go ahead," Xiao Yubai said.
"Guess what Erlan told me last night after you left?" Yu Nian said.
"Really?" Xiao Yubai was a little surprised. This was the first time Yu Nian had actively mentioned her friend.
"He and Lin Xian..." Yu Nian hesitated. After all, Xiao Yubai was such a straight - forward person. If he couldn't accept it, things would get very complicated. He was different from her. She should have thought it through before speaking.
Seeing her expression, Xiao Yubai smiled. He thought this girl never thought about serious things. He wasn't an old - fashioned person. He wouldn't have any objections. Moreover, he had already noticed something about Ye Erlan and Lin Xian.
Because of their special status, he had people secretly watching them. He already knew that the two of them had gone to the amusement park and taken photos. Of course, he also knew that it was Ye Erlan's birthday that day. So, he already had an idea about their relationship, but he just hadn't said anything.
"I know. They like each other," Xiao Yubai said.
Hearing this, Yu Nian looked up in shock. "How did you know?"
"My people were following them secretly and accidentally saw something they shouldn't have. I just didn't tell you," Xiao Yubai said.
Yu Nian smacked her lips. "Why didn't you tell me?"
"I was afraid you wouldn't accept it. Who knew you'd be more excited than anyone else?" Xiao Yubai said helplessly. He really was afraid that she wouldn't accept it. After all, these two were like her younger brothers. Suddenly, it seemed like they were together, and she was the last to know. If it were him, he definitely wouldn't be able to accept it. But he underestimated Yu Nian's love for shipping them.
"Okay, Nian Nian. Let them handle their own affairs. We should talk about ours," Xiao Yubai said.
"Really?" Yu Nian asked.
"Our wedding is coming soon. The wedding dress is on its way back, but you haven't even finalized the guest list yet. If there's a joke at the wedding, your father won't forgive me," Xiao Yubai said.
Yu Nian looked away guiltily. Making a guest list was such a troublesome thing. It should be Xiao Yubai's job. She was too lazy for this!
Xiao Yubai clearly saw through her thoughts. He picked her up. "I can help you, but you have to compensate me."
