At this moment, everyone had just dispersed, and there was a crowd of people at the door of Yi'anju. His unscrupulous behavior immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Qiao Yuyan looked at him in surprise, her face slightly red, "What's wrong?"
Wen Tingyuan didn't say anything, but instead grabbed her hand, slid his slender fingers into her palm, and then slowly intertwined with hers, clasping his fingers tightly with hers.
The fifth wife always had a gentle temperament and was slower than others when doing things. Now she happened to fall behind the two people. When she saw this, she smiled softly and then called the maid to go in the direction of her yard.
Qiao Yuyan's face suddenly turned redder, and she wanted to shake his hand off, "There are many people here!"
Wen Tingyuan tightened his fingers again, "In special times, we should let others see the relationship between us. Speaking of which, we have only been married for two months, so it doesn't matter."
His voice was lowered, and there was a hint of a smile. Qiao Yuyan became more and more embarrassed after hearing this. Her usually sober mind became a little confused at this moment, and she didn't know how to refute him.
Because of the snowy light, the sky and the earth were brighter than usual. In fact, it was already getting late.
Only then did Tao Ranxuan know that Grandma Wang had arranged for the little maids to serve the dinner, "It's cold, and I'm afraid that the master and my wife will feel uncomfortable eating, so I keep it warm, fearing that the taste won't be that good."
After saying that, his eyes fell on their intertwined hands.
Qiao Yuyan noticed this, her face turned red with embarrassment, she put aside his hand and entered the inner room, but Wen Tingyuan chuckled softly.
Grandma Wang didn't point it out, but she couldn't hide the smile on her face.
Qixi was soaking Qiao Yuyan's hands in warm water, with a smile on her eyes and eyebrows, "It will be fine after the New Year. Everyone will be in peace, and my wife and I will be better..."
Qiao Yuyan gave her a blank look and said, "You didn't always say you wanted to learn from Pinlan's stability before, so why are you following Grandma Wang in making nonsense today?"
Qixi stopped answering and just pursed her lips and smiled.
Qiao Yuyan felt irritated for no reason. She knew that Wen Tingyuan wanted to show their good relationship in front of everyone. After all, he was not at home during this period, never appeared, and never appeared in front of others with Qiao Yuyan.
But they knew in their hearts that there was no real love between the two of them as husband and wife.
You can't always do such intimate actions just for the sake of other people's eyes, right?
As she was thinking blankly, she looked up and found Wen Tingyuan standing at the door of the clean room, leaning on the door frame and looking at her with a smile.
Qiao Yuyan was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Come here and wash your hands! There happens to be water in the thermos bottle."
Qixi smiled and went out after hearing this, but Qiao Yuyan called her out, "I just packed up, come and serve your master."
This sentence made Qixi unable to move forward or retreat, and there was a hint of embarrassment on her face, "Madam..."
In other people's houses, it is common for the maid in front of the wife to help the men wash their hands, but in their yard, there has never been such a rule. Qixi didn't know what this meant.
Looking at my wife again, I felt relieved again. She and Qiao Yuyan had been master and servant for many years.
She could read Qiao Yuyan's emotions and expressions. From this look, it was not what she thought at all. She immediately smiled and said: "Sister Pinlan just called me for something. She seemed to be in a hurry. My wife is still waiting for me."
Master!"
After speaking, he hurried out without waiting for a reply, leaving Qiao Yuyan dumbfounded.
Wen Tingyuan, on the other hand, seemed to be very satisfied with Qixi's sensible attitude. With a smile on his eyes and brows, he walked directly to Qiao Yuyan and stretched out his hand in front of her.
Qiao Yuyan's eyebrows suddenly stood up, "Wash it yourself!"
After saying that, he opened the curtain and went to the side hall. Wen Tingyuan's seemingly uncontrollable laughter came from behind him, which made Qiao Yuyan feel a little more depressed.
When she sat down at the dinner table, she calmed down again and felt that she was a little embarrassed.
Speaking of which, the two of them had behaved like this before. Now Wen Tingyuan seemed to have more reason to avoid outsiders noticing. Why did she care so much about it?
After all, this change in identity still caused changes in her heart.
When Wen Tingyuan came out of the clean room, he saw her in a daze as if she was thinking about something, "What's wrong? The food doesn't suit your appetite?"
Only then did she come back to her senses, smiled and shook her head, "No, I'll wait for you to come together."
These words brought another smile to his face. I wonder if it was Qiao Yuyan's illusion. Wen Tingyuan seemed to be in a good mood?
But when she came back in the afternoon, there was something unpleasant between the two of them.
"Is your matter finished?"
Qiao Yuyan suddenly spoke, which surprised Wen Tingyuan, and his eyes looked at her with a hint of inquiry.
She quickly explained, "I didn't want to inquire about your affairs, I just asked casually. I want to be prepared for you coming in and out."
When she said this, her eyes were bright and there was a slight smile on her face. To describe it in one word, she was dignified and decent.
In today's world, this is the highest requirement for women in the upper class circles.
But Wen Zingyuan looked at it, feeling quite uncomfortable in his heart.
He simply moved his seat and sat next to Qiao Yuyan, "I came back in such a hurry this time that I didn't have time to say hello to you. I won't do it next time."
The light words fell into Qiao Yuyan's heart in the same way, so she responded lightly, "Yeah."
Wen Tingyuan suddenly felt that the food in front of him had no taste. He wanted to say a few more words, but the people on the side clearly had no intention of listening.
He inexplicably remembered Qiao Yuyan's appearance in the afternoon, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. This was his original choice, and this situation was also within his expectation.
But after all, the matter was so important that he didn't know what the consequences would be if he spoke out, so he might as well just leave it alone.
Nowadays, Qiao Yuyan has more things to do. According to the discussion during the day, Mrs. Wen and Mrs. Wen have to be sent out every morning, and then they go to the meeting hall to work on the affairs of the house together, and only have some time for themselves in the afternoon.
time, but there are also a lot of things going on in her yard.
Therefore, Qiao Yuyan didn't waste much time and went straight to bed after washing up.
Wen Tingyuan sat on the Arhat bed and read a book. Seeing that she didn't pay attention to him, he pursed his lips, put down the book and entered the clean room.
When he came out again, the person on the bed was already asleep.
In fact, Qiao Yuyan didn't expect that she would fall asleep so quickly, but in fact, she barely slept last night, and she was busy all day long, and now she was actually mentally exhausted.
When he was about to fall asleep, he suddenly felt that the bed beside him had sunk in. Then he suddenly realized that Wen Tingyuan was going to sleep with him, and his sleepiness disappeared immediately.
Just when I was thinking about moving further inside, a warm embrace pressed against my back.
