Chapter 234 Confusion
Xiao Yangzhi came closer again, but did not hug Xu Mingyuan anymore. She just lay on her side, holding his arm with one hand and gently pulling the quilt into a hole with the other hand.

Under the light, Xiao Yangzhi's long curled eyelashes, delicate and slightly curved eyebrows, tall and round nose, and tender and lovely pink lips, everything is so perfect.

But the slight frown between his brows made his cold and elegant face look a little more pitiful.

On the surface Xu Mingyuan seemed calm, but in fact he did not sleep well that night. As soon as he closed his eyes, countless images flashed through his mind, playing like a movie.

Xu Mingyuan never tires himself out because of running a business. After all, the future path has already been determined. It is not difficult to keep pace with the development of the times.

But because of Xiao Yangzhi, after Xu Mingyuan faced the reality, he suffered from insomnia for the first time.

As early as when he first met Xiao Yangzhi, Xu Mingyuan thought that she was the woman who set up a trap for him.

Skin that is pure, flawless, and clean like jade is so rare, not to mention that it looks more and more like her as she grows older.

Although her smile was shy and not as calm as later on, her shy expression with the corners of her mouth curled up was almost exactly the same.

Xu Mingyuan would occasionally lose his focus, but as he gained more experience, he would recover in a moment.

The sensitive Yang Zhi seemed to feel someone was watching her. Her eyelids trembled slightly and she gently opened her eyes.

The sudden intersection of their eyes caught Yang Zhi off guard. Feeling guilty and timid, she quickly lowered her eyes, but after only a second, she raised them again.

"Brother, what time is it?" Yang Zhi asked.

"Hmm? It's past six."

Xu Mingyuan was still in a daze. When he saw Xiao Yangzhi wake up, he reached out and picked up the watch on the table and said.

"Are we going to Xincheng now?"

"No hurry, wait for your Uncle Xu to call."

"Oh."

Yang Zhi pulled the quilt to her nose, revealing only a pair of rippling eyes, which followed Xu Mingyuan's figure.

Wow.

Xu Mingyuan pulled open the curtains.

Yang Zhi hadn't seen such bright sunshine for a long time. She couldn't help but squint her eyes and stare blankly out the window.

"Let's go out for something to eat?" Xu Mingyuan asked.

"I haven't finished the snacks I bought..." Yang Zhi said in a low voice.

"Don't you like noodles very much? I see all the stores not far from here are open."

Xu Ming looked at the small town of Yuyang from afar and said casually.

"Brother, why don't you not go out? It's so warm in the house." Yang Zhi said with a hint of pleading.

"Are you too lazy? It's not easy to come to Yuyang, don't you want to walk around?"

"No, brother, look, the view outside the window is so beautiful."

Yang Zhi ran to the window wearing disposable slippers, stood with Xu Mingyuan, and looked out the window.

She was relatively unfamiliar with Yuyang, and was far less familiar with him than Nanxi. After all, her mother had no time to take care of her since she was a child, and she was locked up in a rented house most of the time. Even when she went to elementary school for two years, she lived a life of going to and from work.

"If you don't want to go, then don't go."

I drove around the small town of Yuyang yesterday. The streets were deserted and I passed all the places I should have seen. There was really nothing to see.

After brushing his teeth, Xu Mingyuan could not taste anything in his mouth, so he chewed an apple to replenish his water.

Xiao Yangzhi washed her face, and there was a strand of wet hair on her temples. She was as clean as a girl next door.

I squeezed some hand cream and applied it, rubbed it on my arms and face, and rubbed the rest on the backs of my feet.

The thin blue blood vessels under the crystal clear skin of the instep seemed to be glowing like jade threads, slender and elegant. Xu Mingyuan knew how smooth it was and how wonderful it felt.

There was warm air blowing in the room, but little Yangzhi was weak and cold, so Xu Mingyuan didn't dare to look at her and covered her up.

"Brother, the little cakes are delicious, with cream filling."

Yang Zhi untied the plastic bag, took a bite and handed it over.

It is a little cooler than when I bought it yesterday, but the bag is sealed well, so it is not dry or hard and tastes good.

"You unlucky child, you put food into your mouth without washing your hands after scrubbing your feet?"

"No, it's not dirty. I washed it last night..."

Yang Zhi's pretty face turned red, and she retracted her hand, feeling embarrassed to give it.

I don’t understand why my brother dislikes me. Last time I was at home, I wore socks and slippers all day and rode my bike for a long time, sweating all over.

And after he helps with the massage, doesn’t he still have to eat and drink?

Seeing Xiao Yangzhi's strange expression, Xu Mingyuan thought she was shy because she was thin-skinned, so he took the small cake from her hand and put it into his mouth to chew.

Xu Mingyuan was not like Xiao Yangzhi who could sit idle and do nothing, but his mind was in a mess. He was even slow in replying to the text messages from the silly and cute Xiao Taotao, and just stared at the ceiling in a daze.

Yang Zhi saw what was on his mind, but couldn't guess what it was, so she sat cross-legged beside him, feeding him some cakes and snacks from time to time, and taking out the warm milk that had been boiled in the thermos, inserting a straw and feeding it into his mouth.

When Xu Mingyuan was a little full after eating, he came to his senses and found that he looked like a patient paralyzed in a hospital bed, so he waved his hand to stop her from feeding him.

Although Yang Zhi didn't know what he was thinking, she felt that it was probably related to her, so she whispered, "Brother, I'll wait here. Just pick me up on the way home."

"Haha, aren't you afraid that I'll throw it here for you?" Xu Mingyuan said with a smile.

"Don't be afraid." Yang Zhi shook his head.

"I'll throw you into some ravine when the time comes." Xu Mingyuan said with a smile. "Then I'll throw you into it..."

Yang Zhi looked at him with sparkling eyes, knowing very well that her brother would never do that.

Xiao Yangzhi was wearing a set of black tight-fitting thermal underwear. She didn't have a curvy figure, but her curves were smooth and delicate, as if she had walked out of a painting of beautiful ladies.

Sitting next to Xu Mingyuan, I just watched him in a daze and started to be dazed too.

Xu Mingyuan subconsciously hugged her as usual, but then let go. Seeing a hint of doubt in Xiao Yangzhi's eyes, he finally hugged her tightly.

……

Xu Jun called in the morning, but Xu Mingyuan did not set out until after lunch, when he took Xiao Yangzhi and headed towards Xincheng.

After asking several passers-by, Xu Mingyuan finally found a two-story teahouse half an hour after arriving in Xincheng.

"You wait here."

Before Xu Mingyuan got off the car, he looked at Xiao Yangzhi who was sitting next to him.

He deliberately parked the passenger seat on the side of the road so that she could just take a glimpse through the window. The side windows were covered with one-way film, making it difficult for people outside to see inside.

"Ah."

Even though he was dozens of meters away from his mother, Yang Zhi still nodded obediently.

Xu Mingyuan pinched her little face, almost hurting it a little, then he gave her a reassuring smile and got out of the car without taking out the car key.

The teahouse is not big, with an area of ​​more than 100 square meters on the first floor. There are round stools placed upside down on the tables in the store, the floor is spotlessly clean, and the decoration is simple and elegant. The cabinet at the front desk is filled with exquisite tea, filling the air with the fragrance of tea.

It must have been opened temporarily. There were no employees. There were only two people sitting opposite each other in the window seat.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, a woman in snow-white mink fur turned around. Her bright face had an elegant charm. She waved at him and said, "Xiaoyuan, you're here. Come and sit down. Where's Yangzhi?"

"Yang Zhi is in Yuyang, she doesn't want to come."

Xu Mingyuan sat down next to Xu Jun and spoke casually.

He recognized Yang Hongyu at a glance, especially the charming smile that could not be erased from the corner of her mouth, which was almost exactly the same as the woman he had met before.

It’s no wonder that Xu Jun was deceived. Even Xu Mingyuan himself couldn’t stand such a woman.

Thinking about it this way, my old father could still be a bit promising. At least he has lived with them for many years, while Xu Mingyuan has never been touched and has just been led by them by the nose.

"Is Yang Zhi in Yuyang? Has she visited her grandfather's house?" Yang Hongyu asked.

"No, they are all bad memories. Why go and see them?" Xu Mingyuan said.

Yang Hongyu sighed and said, "I'm not a good mother. Xiaoyuan, are you used to drinking tea? Your father likes Longjing tea the most."

Yang Hongyu took the teacup from the tea tray, poured hot water around the cup to scald it, and poured a cup of tea from the teacup.

The tea is 70% full, not too much or too little, just right, elegant and pleasing to the eye.

Yang Hongyu was only 20 years old when she gave birth to little Yang Zhi, and she is only 37 years old this year.

If it weren't for her sickly pale complexion, Yang Hongyu would look like a woman in her twenties.

"Auntie Yang, are you finishing your confinement period?" Xu Mingyuan asked.

Xu Mingyuan saw that she was not wearing any makeup, and was wrapped up tightly, and even wore a velvet hat in the house. Not only that, she didn't drink tea, but only the sugar water in the thermos.

Yang Hongyu didn't say anything, just smiled and nodded.

Xu Mingyuan glanced at his old father beside him, and seeing that his expression remained unchanged, he couldn't help but smacked his lips.

My goodness, she even gave birth to a child in secret. No wonder there has been no news for almost two years.

Picking up a document placed aside, Xu Mingyuan flipped through it. It was a house transfer agreement that had already been signed. The property title was probably at home and was not tucked inside.

There were two passbooks on top. One was opened in Nanxi in 02. The deposits and withdrawals were approximately between and yuan. When Xu Mingyuan flipped to the end, there was more than yuan left.

The other one was opened last year and has a large deposit of exactly 500,000 yuan.

The old man's wealth accumulated over the years was reduced to just over one million in the end. It was really heartbreaking to see Xu Jun, the eldest son.

To be honest, Xu Mingyuan is a third-generation rich man, but he was taught to live a hard life since he was a child. He envied his father, a second-generation rich man, and his colorful life from the bottom of his heart.

Xu Jun and Yang Hongyu must have chatted for a long time earlier. At this time, they had nothing to say and were only talking about their two children.

"Please send Yang Zhi to my side. As a mother, I should take care of my daughter."

Yang Hongyu originally kept Yang Zhi at home so that Xu Jun would not come to her for trouble for the sake of her daughter. Unexpectedly, he was imprisoned for two years.

Before Xu Jun could answer, Xu Mingyuan spoke first, "Aunt Yang, there is no benefit for Yang Zhi to be around you. Since you have adopted her to my father's name, just live your life in peace from now on. If there is anything, wait until she grows up. Her surname is Xu now."

Xu Mingyuan directly picked up the contract and passbook on the table. Not wanting her father to continue reminiscing with her, she pulled him away.

"Aunt Yang, don't see me off. It's windy outside. Take care of yourself."

Xu Mingyuan pushed Xu Jun's back, walked to the front of the car and said, "Go sit in the back seat."

"Hey! Isn't your daughter here? You kid, let her see her mother."

As soon as Xu Jun got into the car, he saw Xiao Yangzhi sitting in the passenger seat.

He knew Xiao Yangzhi better than Xu Mingyuan, so it went without saying that it was Xu Mingyuan's idea.

"What's there to see? Let's go."

Xu Mingyuan stepped on the accelerator and left quickly...
