I can't believe that the man in the kitchen right now is the benefactor who rescued him with Nana.
Are he and Nana still childhood sweethearts?
No wonder she traveled thousands of miles and traveled across oceans to be with Nana.
At this moment, Murong Beichen felt even more uneasy. A sense of crisis that he had never experienced before suddenly arose spontaneously.
Seeing that his second brother was stunned, Ye Shengsheng reminded him again, "Did you hear what I said clearly? Kane is your savior, you can't hurt him at all."
Even if Kane comes, he has ulterior motives.
As long as it doesn't hurt them, they absolutely can't hurt him.
Murong Beichen knew that no matter how unhappy he felt, he could not do anything to repay kindness with enmity.
Looking at his sister, he replied casually, "I understand. Go ahead and call your second sister-in-law to come over for dinner. My dinner will be ready soon."
"Um."
Ye Shengsheng believed that his second brother would not do anything to Kane, so he turned around and left.
Murong Beichen turned back to the kitchen and looked at the people inside who were busy in an orderly manner. He hesitated for a while before walking in.
When Kane saw Murong Beichen coming back, he pretended not to notice and continued to prepare his own fish soup.
But he never expected that the Second Young Master would walk towards him and stand beside him.
He also said in a friendly manner, "Kane, thank you."
Kane was stunned.
He stopped what he was doing and raised his head to meet the other person's gaze.
"Why did the Second Young Master say this?"
Murong Beichen knew that no matter how uncomfortable he was with the appearance of this person, he even said that he minded that he was Nana's childhood sweetheart.
But one thing must always be repaid, and what you owe others must always be repaid.
With sincerity, he said:
"Thank you for saving me with Nana. Since you traveled thousands of miles to join Nana, I should naturally treat you warmly.
In addition, in order to repay you for saving my life, I can satisfy you whatever you want."
Kane, "..."
This man... actually knows how to be grateful.
I thought it was a rare opportunity, so there was no need to be polite to him.
Pursing his lips, Kane said frankly: "I want to stay with Nana, and I want to witness your marriage and see if Nana will be happy."
As long as Nana is happy, he will not disturb them both.
But if Nana does not live well in this marriage, he must step forward to protect Nana.
Murong Beichen's face showed displeasure, and his heart was still sour.
"You want to stay with my wife? You and she are just friends who grew up together. She is now a wife. Can you give me a reason to stay with her?"
This man really doesn't shy away from what he says.
Doesn't he know that his behavior is destroying other people's feelings?
Kane said casually:
"My reason is that I regard Nana as my own sister. If she doesn't have a good time with you, I will take her away at any time."
How could he not know that such a reason was too far-fetched.
If you want to take Nana with you, it depends on whether Nana is willing.
In fact, another reason why he stayed was that he wanted to live an equal life and didn't want to go back to country k to be someone else's slave.
Murong Beichen looked at Kane and was speechless for a moment.
He regards Nana as his own sister?
This behavior seemed to be the same as how he treated Zheng Zheng before.
So in his heart, he also loves Nana deeply?
Thinking of this, Murong Beichen's heart felt painful again, his fists couldn't help but clenched, and he felt like getting angry for no reason.
But he knew very well that he had no right to blame others.
What he has to do now is to change himself, double compensation for Nana, and make her change her mind.
As for Kane, he should not be his opponent.
"Hurry up and get those two fish of yours, it's time for dinner."
Holding back his worries, Murong Beichen said nothing and took the two dishes he had cooked to the restaurant next door.
Kane looked at his back, a little confused.
This second young master seems to be a little different from what he imagined.
Knowing that it was getting late, he didn't think much and hurriedly prepared the dishes.
Ye Sheng called Aina over and sat in the restaurant.
The restaurants in this rural area are different from those in the city. There is a square table in one room with four benches next to it.
Seeing his second brother coming with dishes, Ye Shengsheng stood up and went to pick them up.
Aina just sat next to him and didn't move, not even looking at the man.
Murong Beichen looked at his wife and saw that she was turning a blind eye to him, and felt a burst of sadness in his heart for no reason.
He pretended not to care and filled a bowl of rice with his own hands and presented it to his wife.
Aina still didn't look at him, "Let it go."
Murong Beichen's eyes flashed with depression, he put down his bowls and chopsticks and sat down next to him.
Ye Shengsheng thought of something, stood up and said, "You two sit down for now, I'll go see if Kane's fish is ready."
She wanted to give her second brother and sister-in-law a chance to be alone, but as soon as she turned around, Kane came over with fish soup.
When he met her, he asked: "Where are you going, Miss Shengsheng? It's time to have dinner."
"Oh, I just want to see if you are okay and eat."
Having no other choice, Ye Shengsheng sat down again and smiled at Aina, "Second sister-in-law, hurry up and eat. This fish was caught by Kane from the river just now. It's very fresh."
"Um."
When Aina picked up the chopsticks and was about to pick them, Murong Beichen hurriedly picked up his fried vegetables and put them in her bowl, and said diligently:
"Nana, I made this. Please try it. How does it taste?"
Aina ignored it and only ate the fish cooked by Kane.
She laughed, looked at Kane and said: "The taste is very fresh, the fish meat melts in your mouth, it is very delicious."
Kane laughed and ignored Murong Beichen's presence. He served Aina a bowl of fish soup and said, "Drink some soup to whet your appetite."
"good."
Aina didn't refuse, and when she brought it over to drink, she accidentally saw her husband sitting next to her.
He had a dark face and clenched his fists on the dining table. It was easy to tell that he was unhappy.
But who gave him his unhappiness?
If I had known today, why bother in the beginning.
Completely ignoring his feelings, Aina buried herself in eating her own.
Ye Shengsheng looked at the atmosphere at the table and found it a bit strange. However, it was hard for her to say anything because of her status, so she had to shut up and eat her own food peacefully.
Murong Beichen has no appetite.
Seeing his wife not eating the food he cooked but only eating the fish cooked by her childhood sweetheart, he felt more sour than if he had drank ten jars of vinegar.
In the end, I had to eat it by myself pitifully.
Although his craftsmanship is not bad, today's meal is indeed so bitter and difficult to swallow.
When dinner was almost over, Ye Shengsheng asked Aina.
"Second sister-in-law, how long do you plan to stay here?"
Aina glanced at Shengsheng and knew that she couldn't escape now, and there was no need to stay here forever.
If something happens to the baby in her belly, she will be in trouble if she can't go to the hospital in time.
Thinking of this, Aina said: "Let's stay for two more days. We will go back in two days."
Ye Shengsheng laughed and said, "Okay, I'll stay here with you for two days."
"But aren't you very busy? There are old people and children at home. You'd better take someone away. Kane and I will stay here for two days and then go back."
"What's wrong with you two being alone here? I don't agree."
Before he could say anything, Murong Beichen answered coldly.
Aina looked at him and said, "Who I stay here with is none of your business."
"Why is it none of my business? You are my legal wife now."
"Ah."
Aina smiled sarcastically and said without mercy: "It won't be the case soon. We will divorce when we get back."
The other three, "..."
The atmosphere suddenly became solid.
The look in Murong Beichen's eyes when he looked at Aina was even more hurt and gloomy.
What made him uncomfortable was that his heart throbbed hard again.
He lowered his head and was too embarrassed to speak for a while.
Ye Shengsheng hurriedly comforted:
"Second sister-in-law, please don't get excited. Since you like this place, then stay here for a few more days."
She looked at her second brother and shook her head to tell him not to be so impatient.
After all, it was his fault, and if he wanted his second sister-in-law to change his mind, he had to take his time.
"I'm full, please take your time."
Aina said nothing, got up and went back to her room.
She felt that she was not wrong and there was no need to care about the man's feelings.
She was just treating others the way they were treated.
Kane sat motionless.
He didn't make a sound and ate his own food silently.
Murong Beichen did not chase after him, but sat there, trying hard to endure the pain from his chest, looked at Sheng Sheng and said:
"Sister, please go back first. After all, there is Xiaotuanzi at home who needs you."
