Item family

"Xiao En!" Just as Xue Lin was walking towards Xiao Yueheng, Bai Xiang felt something was wrong. Seeing Xue Lin grabbing Xiao Yueheng's chin and making gestures to kiss him, Bai Xiang's eyes were red with anxiety.

Fortunately, he just wanted to disgust Bai Xiang, and didn't dare to really kiss him, or else, let alone Bai Xiang, even Xiao Yueheng would have to slap him.

"What are you doing?!" Bai Xiang stepped forward and grabbed his collar, glaring at him fiercely.

Xue Lin didn't say a word, his eyes fixed on Fang Zhuo, Fang Zhuo lowered his head, his eyes were hidden in the shadows, and he didn't even glance at him.

Where did this come from?Xiang Yuan looked at Fang Zhuo, then at Xiao Yueheng, can you get rid of these two troublesome suitors?

Seeing that Xiang Yuan was a little unhappy, Xiao Yueheng moved the chair and took a step back, "Young Master Xiang, don't be angry, everyone is just kidding around."

He is well-mannered, but Bai Xiang is not easy to dismiss, even if Xiao Yueheng said something, he still grabbed Xue Lin's collar and refused to let go.

"Bai Xiang, let go." Xiao Yueheng said quietly.

"He kissed you!" Bai Xiang was indignant.

"No kiss," Xiao Yueheng said calmly, "He was just joking."

"You can't even joke!"

Xiao Yueheng didn't speak any more, he just looked at Bai Xiang silently, Xiang Yuan couldn't describe what kind of eyes it was, indifference, alienation, or warning?Bai Xiang was a little flustered by this look, he let go of his fingers holding Xue Lin's collar, and stepped back resentfully.

Fuck, it's amazing!Xiang Yuan knew that Xiao Yueheng had always taken the initiative in his relationship with Bai Xiang, but he didn't expect that Bai Xiang, who was always uncertain, would be so obedient. Is it true that the one who falls in love first loses first?

After some farce, the scene became a bit cold, Meng Shufan showed up in the yamen circle for the first time, seeing this kind of embarrassing thing happened, he had no choice but to say goodbye tactfully.

Fang Zhuo froze and didn't speak, Xue Lin was like a big dog that has done something wrong, circling around him, timidly daring not to get close.

Seeing a group of yamen looking at them as if watching a western scene, Xiang Yuan patted Fang Zhuo's shoulder silently, and comforted him, "Xiao Fang, I ordered someone to book the lounge. If you are in a bad mood, go sit there first. Sit down, I will find you in a while."

If you let those buddies watch it, Mr. Fang will throw the table on the spot.

"Okay." Fang Zhuo also felt suffocated, he hung his head, didn't look at anyone, and went out with a sullen face.As soon as he left, Xue Lin couldn't stay any longer, and followed him out of the door amidst the good-natured ridicule of the crowd.

"Young Master Xiang, I came here this time because I actually have something to tell you." When the dandies resumed their singing and dancing, Xiang Yuan finally had the opportunity to talk to Xiao Yueheng peacefully.

"What's the matter?" Xiang Yuan asked with a smile.

"I'm leaving."

"What?" Xiang Yuan was taken aback for a moment, almost thinking he heard it wrong, "Are you leaving? Where are you going?"

"Go to the countryside and become a village official."

"No way?" Xiang Yuan looked at Xiao Yueheng in disbelief. Although this person's temperament was similar to Ye Guantao's, and he seemed to be confident in everything he did, but he was a young master from a family who went to the countryside to become a village official. Not very reliable.

"Why?" Xiang Yuan asked puzzled.

"There are many reasons, both official and private, which one do you want to hear?" Perhaps because parting was imminent, Xiao Yueheng's tone was also much more casual, facing the third master's "Madam", he dared to open his mouth to tease.

"I remember that Guan Tao joined the ministry directly after graduation. Your family background is not bad. Why did you suffer so much?"

Although college students are full of gimmicks when they become village officials, it is not easy to get good grades. Although Xiang Yuan is not in the officialdom, he has lived in Yinfeng Lane for a long time and has some understanding of the domestic system.

Xiao Yueheng smiled, and did not answer his question directly, but said something irrelevant to his decision, "Secretary Ye has returned to Beijing, right?"

Secretary Ye?Xiang Yuan was startled, and then thought that the Secretary Ye he was talking about was the head of the Ye family, his eldest brother—Ye Kangnian, "Yes, it seems that everyone in the capital knows about it."

"That's why I left Beijing."

"Ah?" Xiang Yuan was dumbfounded. With his consciousness, he really couldn't understand what Xiao Yueheng was saying.

"Just go home and tell the third master."

"that's it?"

"that's it."

Well, talking to you smart people is brain-burning. Xiang Yuan decided not to ask any more questions. Anyway, he was said to be a man who can understand, so he will just go home and report to the third master, but... "You go What about Bai Xiang?"

"What does this have to do with him?" Xiao Yueheng asked with a half-smile.

"Aren't you..." Xiang Yuan's thumbs met ambiguously, "Isn't this the relationship?"

"Who said that?" Xiao Yueheng smiled, smiling openly and calmly, "You think too much."

"But..." I dare not say anything else, but Bai Xiang's attitude towards Xiao Yueheng can be seen personally, right?

"I forgot to remind you," Xiao Yueheng looked around, lowered his voice and said, "Be careful of Bai Xiang and the forces behind him."

scare? !Xiao Yueheng actually reminded him to be careful of Baixiang?Xiang Yuan blinked his eyes and didn't come back to his senses for a long time. He always thought that Xiao Yueheng and Bai Xiang were a couple, and after a long time of arguing, it was completely contrary to his idea!

"How do you know there's someone behind him?" Xiang Yuan also lowered his voice, asking mysteriously.

"Why do you think I got so close to him?"

A scion from a family like Xiao Yueheng, no matter how gentle and approachable he looks, his defense against others is deep in his bones. In the social circle of University A, there are absolutely no more than five people who can make him feel at ease in communicating with each other. Zhuo and Xiang Yuan firmly occupied the two spots.

Fang Zhuo had grown up with him, but Xiang Yuan was not simply because of his status as the "wife" of the third master. Xiao Yueheng valued him more. After all, in the circle of aristocratic families, people like Xiang Yuan Those with a simple mind are really rare.

Xiao Yueheng has been in the power field since he was a child, and until now, Xiao Yueheng has seen too much strife and intrigue. Although there are sincere friends, as time goes by, such friends have become less and less.Xiao Yueheng doesn't know how the third master maintains Xiang Yuan's original intention, but it is really enviable to have such a partner who can hug with confidence and expose his back to him.

"I think Bai Xiang still likes you." Xiang Yuan couldn't help saying a good word for Bai Xiang.

"Maybe," Xiao Yueheng didn't deny this, he smiled and narrated without changing his face, "All feelings based on deceit and calculation are like castles made of quicksand, beautiful, but vain."

"So, you don't love him?"

Xiao Yueheng just laughed and never spoke again.

Perhaps it was because everyone's emotions were not high, so the atmosphere of this gathering was unprecedentedly low.

Fang Zhuo and Xue Lin left halfway, and Xiang Yuan was talking to Xiao Yueheng at the time, so he didn't have time to see him off.

"Hey, did you know? Xiao Yueheng is going to the countryside." When he got home, Xiang Yuan told the third master all the details of the party with a bitter face.

"Go to the countryside? Start from the grassroots?" The third master was a little surprised when he heard this.

"Yes," Xiang Yuan nodded, and continued, "I asked him why, and he said it was because the eldest brother returned to Beijing."

"Oh?" The third master raised his eyebrows, and after a while, he smiled silently, "The Xiao family is interesting."

"Hey, don't just laugh at yourself, tell me, why did he do this?"

"It's nothing serious, their family just chose to protect Xiao Yueheng." Seeing that Xiang Yuan still didn't understand, the third master patiently explained, "You know that elder brother returned to Beijing early this time, right?"

"know."

"The domestic situation has changed, and the Ning family's attitude towards certain policies has suddenly become radical. This is a very bad signal. The dispute that was originally expected to appear in a few years is now ahead of schedule."

Xiang Yuan was taken aback, what does the third master mean by this?Could it be that the nightmare of the previous life also came ahead of schedule? "Big brother, are you okay? Is our family okay?" Ning Yunze hasn't returned to China yet, so he probably won't ask him to race again, right?

Seeing that Xiang Yuan became flustered in an instant, the third master was a little puzzled, but he hugged him into his arms immediately, "Dongdong, don't be nervous, it's fine."

"How could it be all right!" Xiang Yuan was furious immediately, the lessons of the year were too profound for him, the origin of all nightmares stemmed from this dispute, he would have ghosts only if he was not afraid!

"Hey, don't be afraid, don't be afraid." The third master hugged him, kissed, patted, and tried his best to comfort him.

But this pair of Xiang Yuan, who was already frightened, was obviously useless, "Isn't there anything wrong with the Ning family?" Although he worked hard, after calculation, he is still the weakest one in the Ye family.

Seeing Xiang Yuan's emotional ups and downs were too intense, the third master hesitated for a moment, and finally asked, "Dongdong, what are you afraid of?"

"me……"

"You're afraid of me..." The third master paused and said with difficulty, "Abandon you for the benefit of the family?"

Xiang Yuan was deeply shocked, and the uneasiness he had hidden for a long time finally burst out, "How do you know?!"

The two stared at each other for a long time in silence.

"Dongdong, is this the reason why you have been insecure all this time?" The third master's eyes were full of pain, but he was also relieved. So this is what Dongdong was afraid of?

He desperately corrects himself, studies desperately, earns money desperately, and stamps everything that can be drawn into his territory as belonging to Xiang Yuan. It turns out that he is so insecure, and it turns out that he still cannot let him trust him wholeheartedly. .

"Did I ever do this in your dream?"

The man's deep voice was filled with unspeakable pain, Xiang Yuan didn't dare to look up into his eyes, but just nodded slightly.

Staring, long staring, confirming the relationship for so long, this is the first time for Xiang Yuan to feel the strong gaze of a man that can melt people.

"Dongdong, it's actually hard to choose between your family's interests."

"Ah?" Unexpectedly hearing such an explanation, Xiang Yuan raised his head in surprise.

"Really, I don't deny it. When my eldest brother is in danger like you, I can only choose to keep him first."

"And abandon me?"

"No," the third master shook his head, "It's not about giving up. You are the last thing I can give up on. When I encounter danger, I can only try my best to put you in a safe place. If anything happens..." The third master said to him Hugging tightly in his arms, he said in a hoarse voice, "If there is such an eventuality, I will accompany you after completing my responsibilities to the family."

"Really?" Although the third master immediately chose the family, Xiang Yuan still felt that this sentence made him feel at ease.

"Well, really."

"Why does the family have priority over me?" This is also what Xiang Yuan couldn't figure out in his previous life.

"Without the protection of the family, this family will be disbanded. The accumulation of several generations of the Ye family cannot be broken in the hands of one person. I can die for you, but I can't let the family be burdened by me. In this way, you understand ?"
