MTL - Secret Love-Chapter 21

After finishing speaking, Yi Jingming touched the watch on his wrist seemingly unintentionally. The dial was not as smooth as the diamond watch that Mu Yanxi often wears. It was an old-fashioned style, dotted with a few gemstones.

More like a vintage collector's watch.

Mu Yanxi raised her eyebrows slightly, it seemed that without her help, Yi Jingming would still be living a prosperous life.

Just don't know how long it will last.

Mu Yanxi took her wine glass, shook it slowly, and didn't go back to Yi Jingming's wine right away, letting the other party raise his hand and pause in the air for several seconds before turning his head.

His eyes were raised slightly, and there was a smile in his voice, but the sarcasm in his tone was undisguised: "I'm afraid that some people won't feel at ease when they take the project."

Yi Jingming squeezed the wine glass and said in a low voice, "Mu Yanxi, what do you mean?"

Now, without Mu Yanxi opening her mouth, a cousin next to her opened her mouth first: "Brother Jing Ming, I heard that you are with Miss Bai, is it true?"

Immediately, some people watching the show echoed: "What Miss Bai? Which family?"

The cousin pretended to be profound and glanced at her: "Bai Yuning, the daughter of the bidder from Shuilin Fang, she is a big real estate family."

Having said that, the eyes of the people around Yi's family looking at Yi Jingming changed instantly, and some people began to get angry:

"Ah, I said why Brother Jing Ming is so powerful, it turned out that he hugged his thigh."

"Miss Bai is not easy to serve, Brother Jing Ming has really worked hard."

"Brother Jing Ming is indeed a person who wants to do big things. He can even change his sexual orientation for the sake of the project?"

"That's right, Brother Jing Ming, next time I go to Ye Shi, will I call you again?"

Just when Yi Jingming was about to refute, there was a rush of high-heeled shoes coming from the door of the restaurant: "What do you mean?"

The visitor stepped on this pair of ten-centimeter sparkling diamond high-heeled shoes, and was dressed in luxury from head to toe. You can know the price without guessing. Even the princess head on the head is fixed with a hairpin with diamonds.

Immediately, everyone's eyes turned to the past.

The woman was aggressive, and she was not afraid to face so many people's scrutiny, "Yi Jingming, please speak clearly to me!"

Yi Jingming's shoulders trembled when he heard the voice, and he turned his head to look pale: "An...An'an? You, didn't you say that you can't come because of something at home?"

That woman is exactly the young lady of the Bai family that everyone mentioned just now, Bai Yu'an.

Mu Yanxi didn't notice when Bai Yu'an came, but it was obvious that Miss Bai heard what she just said.

She originally planned to find an opportunity to find this Miss Bai, but Yi Jingming couldn't wait to show off her sense of superiority, so she directly invited this Miss Bai to Yi's house.

It was really effortless.

The dining table is rectangular, and Yi Wulan's seat is close to the old lady inside, while the Yi family members who spoke just now are sitting at the other end.

The old lady was too old to hear well, so she asked, "Who is this little girl?"

Considering that the old lady had a bad heart, the juniors of the Yi family beside her said, "Grandma, it's a matter of the company, why don't you go to the living room to rest first?"

"Hey, that's fine."

Bai Yu'an was obviously also polite. When the old lady passed by, she smiled and said hello, but when the old lady's back disappeared, she turned cold: "Yi Jingming, is this how you treat me? How can I be sorry for you?" You're going to lie to me like this? You're too shameless for being gay!"

"An'an, listen to my explanation." Yi Jingming hurried forward to take people out, "There are many people here, let's go out and talk."

Bai Yu'an took a step aside: "Why did you go out? What, you dare not admit the scandal after being exposed? Here are all your Yi family members, I don't think there is a better witness."

Mu Yanxi, who was sitting at the other end of the long table, couldn't sit still for a long time. When she noticed Yi Wulan's questioning eyes, Mu Yanxi held her chin with a slightly worried expression: "Yi Jingming has been so insulted, you say I am As the Yi family, shouldn't we also go to defend him?"

If a stranger saw him, he might really think that Mu Yanxi was worried about his relatives and wanted to fight for him.

Yi Wulan paused slightly with the hand holding the tissue, and turned her head to look thoughtfully after hearing Mu Yanxi's words.

Her pupils were dark in color, and when she was expressionless, she gave off a sharp indifference, like a bottomless abyss. But at this moment, his eyes were warmed by the chandelier above his head, and his eyes were only enough to reflect Mu Yanxi alone.

Even if the pair of peach blossom eyes just watched quietly, it gave people an illusion of affection and doting.

Mu Yanxi tugged on La Yi Wulan's skirt: "Is that all right?"

"Go." Yi Wulan glanced towards the door, "If you don't go there, you won't see a good show."

"How can you miss me so much?" Mu Yanxi leaned slightly, leaned closer to Yi Wulan's ear, and exhaled like blue, "If you imagine me like that, I will be very sad."

Yi Wulan supported Mu Yanxi's arm, and imitated her and said softly: "If Yi Jingming coaxes that Miss Bai well, I think you will be sad."

Mu Yanxi blinked, and her hands and feet became disheveled. She hugged Yi Wulan's neck: "This must be the tacit understanding between husband and wife, right? Yi Wulan, you know me too well."

Yi Wulan coughed twice in a low voice, and pushed the person away.

But Mu Yanxi held Yi Wulan's hand away: "Why don't you go to see it with me? I'll be scared if I'm a foreigner."

"Are you afraid too?"

"Of course I will, I'm too timid." Mu Yanxi stood up, walked to the back of Yi Wulan's wheelchair, and leaned slightly, "How about it?"

Yi Wulan turned his eyes away: "It's up to you."

When Mu Yanxi and Yi Wulan passed by, almost all the people at the table had gathered around, and Yi Jingming was still trying to explain his loyal and unswerving love to Bai Yu'an, the scene was very lively.

Bai Yu'an was not so easy to fool, he pulled the person who broke the news when he just entered the door: "Let me ask you, did Yi Jingming find a boyfriend or a girlfriend before?"

The man faltered: "Brother Jing Ming and I are not very familiar with each other. It's just that he doesn't touch any women."

Bai Yu'an was already tall, but after wearing those ten-centimeter high heels, his height almost caught up with Yi Jingming's, and he did not lose his momentum at all: "Yi Jingming, do you have anything else to say? I am so good to you You lied to me? Is it fun to lie to me?"

Seeing this, Mu Yanxi pushed Yi Wulan to the side to find a good place to watch a play, then pulled a chair and sat beside Yi Wulan, took the sliced ​​seedless watermelon by the side, and ate it bite by bite .

After noticing the eyes of the people around him, he felt a little embarrassed about eating alone, and asked unwillingly, "Do you want it?"

The corners of Yi Wulan's lips curled slightly: "No, you can eat."

"Okay." Having been rejected, Mu Yanxi was very relieved, and looked at Yi Jingming again.

Yi Jingming is constantly apologizing: "An'an, don't worry, you listen to my explanation, it's not what you think. I don't contact women because I don't want to delay other girls. I told you too, you It's my first love, I want to give you the best of myself, am I wrong too?"

Bai Yu'an calmed down a little, but his tone was still full of doubts: "Really?"

"Naturally it's true. Why don't I know about you? I think about you and listen to you. Isn't that what I like?"

Seeing that Bai Yu'an was about to waver, the cousin at the side said coolly: "I don't like this, I think it's just asking for something from others."

Yi Jingming was in a hurry to wink at the people next to him, and someone immediately spoke up for him: "Miss Bai, you are my brother's first love, and you told me how perfect his girlfriend is a few days ago, don't just listen to people questioning you." .”

"That's right, Brother Jing Ming hid it from us a few days ago. He respected your opinion, and we laughed at him for a long time."

Bai Yu'an stared at Yi Jingming and asked, "Really?"

"Naturally it is true."

Bai Yu'an nodded. However, before Yi Jingming could heave a sigh of relief, she suddenly asked again: "What about your sexual orientation?"

Yi Jingming couldn't see any flaws on his face, and said in a doting tone: "An An, you are too convinced that the wind is the rain, how could you misunderstand me like that?"

"Ah, I didn't expect your Yi family to have such affectionate people, Yi Wulan, you have to learn a little bit."

A slightly joking voice came, and everyone's eyes followed the voice and fell on Mu Yanxi.

I saw Mu Yanxi leaning slightly on Yi Wulan's shoulder, looking intimate.

And Yi Wulan tilted his head slightly, not seeing the indifference and alienation when facing them in the past, as if he was extremely patient.

The two people who were temporarily tied together because of the agreement of their elders did not have the disadvantages of a wealthy marriage as they imagined.

Mu Yanxi, who has always been arrogant and arrogant, never rejects Yi Wulan's body after the car accident, and Yi Wulan, who has always rejected people thousands of miles away, can actually listen patiently.

It's like a young couple in love, talking about love words of reproach.

"Mu Yanxi!" Yi Jingming looked at the two people who were so close, and the anger of being used as a substitute surged up in his heart, "Don't pretend to be affectionate, you think that what you have done is nothing. Does anyone know?"

"What have I done?" Mu Yanxi tilted her head, "Could it be that you want to sue Yi Wulan and imply that I had a relationship with 'someone else' before marriage?"

Mu Yanxi didn't expect Yi Jingming to dare to mention their past, but fortunately, she was reborn early, and her enthusiasm for Yi Jingming didn't last too long.

Mu Yanxi deliberately accentuated the pronunciation of the word "others", with a sense of irony.

Because of Mu Yanxi's words, Yi Wulan, who was stared at by everyone with strange eyes: "..."

After Yi Wulan learned that Mu Yanxi had used Yi Jingming as a stand-in, she also investigated, and naturally knew that the current Yi Jingming was deliberately sowing discord.

She frowned slightly, and shifted her gaze to Yi Jingming.

Yi Jingming's words were only blurted out out of anger, but after he finished speaking, he felt a little weird, as if he had confessed himself.

But what he didn't expect was that after he said it, Mu Yanxi's actions became more and more unscrupulous.

Mu Yanxi put her chin on Yi Wulan's shoulder and played with Yi Wulan's hair without taking into account the strange gazes of the crowd.

Yi Wulan subconsciously relaxed her body.

Yi Jingming put it another way, and began to criticize Mu Yanxi's words and deeds: "Mu Yanxi, you are married to my sister anyway, and you know that my sister doesn't like to be close to people, how can you do this in public..."

"You also know that you are just Yi Wulan's younger brother." Mu Yanxi interrupted Yi Jingming's words, and said mockingly, "You even take care of your sister's private affairs. If you don't know, you may think you are the same What about the siblings born out of the genome."

Mu Yanxi deliberately accentuated the pronunciation of "brother and sister", with a strong sense of irony, reminding Yi Jingming of his own identity.

The white shirt on Yi Jingming's chest was heaving with anger.

Mu Yanxi admired Yi Jingming's face with interest for a while, and hooked Gou Yi Wulan's hand with her fingertips: "I am your legal wife after all, do you want to call your brother if I do anything with you?" report?"

The voice was deliberately low, soft and waxy, with a hint of shyness and grievance.

Yi Wulan had heard this tone many times, but it was the first time she had heard Mu Yanxi complaining like this in front of others, so she naturally gave her enough face.

The hooked fingertips curled up slightly, the long eyelashes covered the eyes, and the voice was soft and affirmative: "Yes, he has no right to care."

The scene of the two being intimate with no one else strongly stimulated Yi Jingming, one was the shadow that he had hated for a long time since he was a child, and the other was the huge help that he almost succeeded but flew away.

He took a deep breath, turned his head to look at Bai Yu'an, and apologized slightly: "An'an, you also know that we brothers and sisters like to joke around, let you see the joke, how about I send you back first?"

Mu Yanxi didn't wait for Bai Yu'an to say anything, and interrupted again: "Who's joking with you?"

Yi Jingming turned his head angrily: "Mu Yanxi, you did it on purpose!"

"That's right." Mu Yanxi didn't hide it. While playing with Yi Wulan's fingers, she said casually, "But I'm not the one who made Miss Bai laugh."

Seeing this, Yi Jingming suddenly didn't want to save face for Mu Yanxi, and looked sideways at Yi Wulan, with a kind of determination to smash the pot and kill the fish: "Yi Wulan, you don't know, Mu Yan Xi used to run after other men."

"So what?" Yi Wulan gave a short laugh, and instead of giving Yi Jingming a look, he reached out and touched Mu Yanxi's head, "I'm already satisfied that she is still willing to be with me." .”

"Don't you even care about this?" Yi Jingming's eyes widened in disbelief, he couldn't believe that his ruthless elder sister was actually a love brain.

"As long as Yan Xi is happy." Yi Wulan's eyes were soft, as if Mu Yanxi was the only one in his eyes.

Mu Yanxi was slightly taken aback, even though she knew that Yi Wulan was cooperating with her in acting, she still subconsciously smoothed her hair by her ears so as not to reveal any clues.

The higher the temperature around the ear, the more restless Mu Yanxi was. She had no choice but to blame everything on Yi Jingming, stood up and questioned: "Yi Jingming, what are you trying to do by bringing the topic to me over and over again? To divert Miss Bai's attention?"

Mu Yanxi walked towards Yi Jingming's direction step by step, her voice was soft but cool, "When it comes to concealing your sexual orientation, do you think of yourself, so you feel guilty?"

"I didn't..." Yi Jingming couldn't help but took half a step back.

In his impression, Mu Yanxi has always been obedient. Even on the day of discussing the wedding, Mu Yanxi never spoke to him in such a tone.

Mu Yanxi pressed her step by step: "No, that's what you think, and you want to divert your attention, trying to make me turn against Yi Wulan to cover up your own filth."

"You're talking nonsense!"

Mu Yanxi's words were like a sharp knife, separating Yi Jingming's long-pretended human skin, revealing his distressed inside.

The filth that Yi Jingming had concealed to the deepest was exposed, and it was clear at a glance.

Bai Yu'an at the side finally realized something, and walked up to Mu Yanxi in two or three steps: "Miss Mu, what do you mean by what you just said?"

Mu Yanxi opened her phone in a slow manner, switched to WeChat, and handed it to Bai Yu'an: "This is a video taken by the paparazzi. There is no deletion or processing. It should have the answer you want."

Bai Yu'an took it, and the expression on his face changed from being puzzled at the beginning, to gradually becoming angrier.

Before the video was finished, Bai Yu'an stepped forward and slapped Yi Jingming across the face: "Yi Jingming, go to hell, you cheating **** guy, a scum full of lies!"

The audience was in an uproar.

Even though someone in the Yi family knew about Yi Jingming's sexual orientation, but Mu Yanxi had been fooled by Yi Jingming for so long before, Yi Jingming obviously didn't expect Mu Yanxi to have any substantive evidence.

So, when Bai Yu'an slapped him, he was completely taken aback.

When he reacted, he suddenly grabbed Bai Yu'an's hand that was about to call again: "Don't listen to Mu Yanxi's nonsense, she also wants Shui Lin Fang, she is jealous that I won Shui Lin Fang, she is deliberately provoking us!"

Bai Yu'an quickly shook off Yi Jingming's hand, "Yi Jingming, what are you daydreaming about? When did Shuilin Fang become yours? Can you show some face?"

This time, Yi Jingming didn't react for several seconds, until Bai Yu'an changed his strategy and smashed at him with a bag with metal sequins in his hand, he suddenly came back to his senses.

Bai Yu'an didn't show mercy at all, the sequin scratched Yi Jingming's left cheek, leaving a scratch directly.

Slowly, fine drops of blood are coming out of the wound.

But he didn't have the energy to pay attention to his face, glaring: "What did you just say?"

Seeing this, Mu Yanxi pulled Bai Yu'an behind her: "Do you need me to repeat it for Miss Bai?"

She chuckled softly, "Since some people have bad ears, I'll repeat it again. The Shuilinfang project doesn't belong to you, brother~"

Yi Jingming was furious, and the warm camouflage on his usual face completely disappeared: "Say it again?"

This time, without Mu Yanxi opening his mouth, Bai Yu'an came back to his senses and poked his head out from behind Mu Yanxi: "Shuilinfang is my dad's plan to cooperate with the Yi family, whoever tells you it must be yours ?”

As he spoke, he even blinked at Mu Yanxi before continuing to output crazily:

"Originally, I planned to give you a surprise, so I told you that I couldn't come because of something at home, how could I have such a reward for coming late?

On the day of the bidding, there were so many powerful partners, even if my dad was blind, he would not cooperate with a villain like you. My dad has his eyes on Rong Jia. Why do you think you can represent Rong Jia? "

Mu Yanxi raised her eyebrows slightly: "Rong Jia?"

Bai Yu'an nodded: "I wanted to take advantage of your Yi family to come to discuss this cooperation. I am not familiar with you. I hoped that the Yi family would contribute, but the person in charge is Yi Jingming."

Mu Yanxi nodded. The situation in this life is very different from the previous life. With so many strong companies present at the bidding meeting, Boss Bai has too many choices. It doesn't make sense to give it to Yi Jingming for nothing. Bai Yu'an's words are also reasonable.

It's just that they didn't expect Yi Jingming and the others to think that they could get Shuilin Fang by grasping Bai Yu'an, but they didn't know that maybe Bai Yu'an only regarded Yi Jingming as a pastime, and it was far from the point of giving away the project for him.

She repeated: "So you plan to cooperate with Rong Jia?"

"That's right." Bai Yu'an looked sideways at Yi Wulan who was in the wheelchair, "Or can Mr. Yi give me a chance?"

Mu Yanxi's expectant expression fell into Yi Wulan's eyes, and Yi Wulan nodded: "Yes."

After the words fell, Yi Jingming gritted his teeth and rushed towards them: "Yi Wulan!"

Unexpectedly, a bodyguard in black suddenly appeared next to him, and seemed to push Yi Jingming lightly without much force, but Yi Jingming fell to the ground in embarrassment.

With lingering fear in her heart, Mu Yanxi looked at Yi Wulan in doubt, and Yi Wulan gestured to her with his eyes.

Mu Yanxi raised her eyebrows. She didn't expect that Yi Wulan not only kept the company in order, but also prepared for such quarrels in advance.

When Yi Jingming just fell down, the place where he fell was careless, it seemed that he had hit a bone, and he maintained an awkward posture on the ground, unable to get up for a long time, just staring at Yi Wulan's direction viciously.

After staring for a while, he looked at Bai Yu'an with a good voice: "An'an, listen to me, it's really not what they said."

"Is it because you didn't publicize our affairs everywhere, or did you not pretend to win Shui Linfang?" Bai Yu'an was relentless, "Or...you didn't go into gay, did you hang out with those male stars?"

Yi Jingming's face turned pale, and he didn't know whether it was the physical pain from being pushed just now, or the guilty conscience after being exposed.

"Okay." Mu Yanxi turned cold, "Yi Jingming, do you have to let me print out the intimate photos of you with other men at night before you give up?"

After Mu Yanxi finished speaking, she looked at Bai Yu'an: "Miss Bai, there are no fragrant grass anywhere in the world."

Unexpectedly, Bai Yu'an suddenly said: "Then is it okay for me to love you this flower?"

Mu Yanxi took a step back vigilantly: "I'm married."

Bai Yu'an laughed out loud, and the unhappiness in his heart just now dissipated a lot: "Don't worry, I'm straight."

Mu Yanxi ignored Bai Yu'an, walked up to Yi Wulan and sat down, and said with a smile, "Yi Wulan, you Rongjia should be quite humane, right? Look, your brother is hurt like this, don't you He's on sick leave?"

After hearing this, Yi Jingming, who was finally struggling to stand up on the ground, felt unsteady on his feet and slipped to his knees again.

"It's just that I didn't think carefully." Yi Wulan looked at Yi Jingming, "You don't have to worry about Rong Jia's affairs for the next three months, and I will let Gu Yan find someone to take your place."

Yi Jingming's current position in Rongjia is neither big nor small. Coupled with Yi Wulan's serious after-effects of the car accident, many of Rongjia's management will treat Yi Jingming as a future boss.

Unexpectedly, Yi Wulan took away the power that his father had finally won for him with a simple sentence.

Yi Jingming wanted to refute, but when he met Shang Yi Wulan's dark eyes, the inferiority complex and fear that had been suppressed for many years prevented him from saying a word.

The huge restaurant was instantly silent.

After Yi Wulan was in a car accident, it had been a long time since Yi Wulan had established himself in front of the Yi family.

But Yi Wulan's words just now gave the people in the Yi family who were about to move a blow, and they clearly realized that even if Yi Wulan's legs were disabled and seriously ill, as long as she was around, Rong Jia would still say the same. President, still can take back all their privileges with a single sentence.

Those people who had turned to Yi Jingming for a long time ago also stopped wanting to speak for Yi Jingming, and a layer of cold sweat oozes from their backs.

Because of the old lady's birthday, Yi Wulan asked the bodyguards to send Yi Jingming to the hospital, while Bai Yu'an took out a contract from his bag and handed it to Mu Yanxi before leaving.

The old lady was helped back to the dining table by several aunts. It's too early to be on the table, and the kitchen has not had time to serve the dishes, so now is the time.

After the old lady couldn't find Yi Jingming, she asked, "Why is Jingming missing?"

Mu Yanxi smiled: "Grandma, his company has urgent matters, you don't mind if I accompany you?"

"You young people should focus on your career. I am already very happy that so many people are with me."

Everything returned to the way it was at the beginning, and the family banquet continued.

The dinner without Yi Jingming was very warm, and everyone stayed with the old lady until it was bedtime before leaving.

Mu Yanxi didn't bother to say hello to the other members of the Yi family. After the old lady went upstairs, she took Yi Wulan away first.

There was a huge temperature difference between inside and outside, and a thin layer of sweat broke out as soon as I stepped out of the room.

The oncoming warm wind caused Mu Yanxi to stagger a bit, but fortunately she supported Yi Wulan's chair back in time to stabilize her body.

"Pay more attention to your own body." Yi Wulan frowned and looked at Mu Yanxi, "Is it heat stroke?"

The night temperature in Yuncheng is also close to 40 degrees, but it is not likely to have a heatstroke reaction just after coming out of the air-conditioned room. Mu Yanxi didn't know that her fragile image had been deepened in Yi Wulan's heart.

Mu Yanxi helped Yi Wulan into the car, then quickly walked around to the other side and got into the car. The driver in the car had already turned on the air conditioner, which brought her back to life.

She approached Yi Wulan with a smile, and pressed Yi Wulan's hand that was about to close the car door: "Isn't it because you are here?"

"I can't look at you all the time."

Mu Yanxi closed the car door for Yi Wulan, and asked confidently: "If you don't look at me, who else do you want to look at?"

Yi Wulan closed his eyes, silently refusing to answer.

Mu Yanxi was not annoyed, and continued to pester Yi Wulan and asked, "I helped you take down Shuilinfang today, and you haven't thanked me yet."

Yi Wulan opened her eyes: "Miss Bai said that the project belongs to Rongjia."

Mu Yanxi retorted: "But she also said that the project belongs to Rong Jia, and the original person in charge has appointed Yi Jingming. If you want to change it, I'm afraid you have to renegotiate."

"Renegotiation doesn't necessarily have to yield benefits." Yi Wulan's tone was very calm, with a bit of the confidence that he had been working for a long time.

"Okay, okay, Mr. Yi is so arrogant, he took away the power casually." Mu Yanxi sighed teasingly, looked at the night scene outside the car window, and said casually, "Yi Wulan, are you happy today?" ?”

Yi Wulan thought about it seriously: "It's okay, how about you?"

Mu Yanxi smiled and said, "You've been with me all day today, of course I'm happy."

"But I don't think you are happy because of this."

"Oh, why don't you tell me if you see it through?" Mu Yanxi rolled her eyes, and suddenly thought of something, so she leaned forward again, "How do you feel when Yi Jingming said to my face that I had affair with others before marriage?"

Yi Wulan was taken aback for a moment, and answered honestly: "Not really."

"I knew you wouldn't mind." The corners of Mu Yanxi's lips curled up, and there was a soft tone in his voice, "After all, I just heard you say that being with me is already enough."

When the breath brushed over the face, it brought an inexplicable touch, like a soft feather scratching the face lightly.

Yi Wulan leaned back slightly, trying to avoid it.

Mu Yanxi let out a chuckle like a succubus, and lowered her voice: "Yi Wulan, have you fallen in love with me?"
