Home/ We’re All Especially Sympathizing With That Man/ Chapter 24
With the imaginary picture of last night, Peng Liya didn’t sleep well all night, and she also felt a bit sad for herself. The relationship between Yan Jingxi and Yuan Zhan seems quite complex and confusing, with no chance to intervene at all. However, now that she has found an excuse to come to Beijing, she can still look for some opportunities while staying here. If their relationship is really not broken, then she can’t force her way in.
At that time, after Yan Jingxi said that he was going to get married, she never mentioned him again. But a few days ago when her friend told her that Yan Jingxi and Yuan Zhan are getting divorced, her undying feelings rekindled again, and she felt that she had a chance now, so she wanted to fight for it.
In fact, she is a little bit skeptical about the relationship between Yan Jingxi and Yuan Zhan. Otherwise if they really have no feelings between each other, then what about the “Ice Cube” props last night? Or Is this a marriage that only involves sex but no love? Since their marriage has already reached the point of divorce, how can their sex life be maintained?
Yes, there is also the man in the video, that’s right, the one named Bai Yueguang, who is Yan Jingxi’s ex-fiancé and his white moonlight. Now this Bai Yueguang is working in Yuan Zhan’s department, so she should join forces with the other party, maybe she will be able to get some help from him. On the other hand, she can also get some information about the relationship between Yan Jingxi and Yuan Zhan from him.
This is her last chance, so she needs to grasp it well.
During breakfast, Yuan Zhan’s eyes were a little red and swollen, and Yan Jingxi also had dark circles under his eyes. Both of them looked really tired, as if they hadn’t slept well last night.
Father Yan is someone who has experienced it before. So when his son sat down to read the newspaper with him, he couldn’t help but warn him in a low voice: “Son, although you are young and full of energy, you should still exercise restraint according to the occasion.”
Yan Jingxi’s expression was blank: “Dad, what are you talking about?”
When Father Yan saw that Peng Liya was also sitting on the sofa, he didn’t explain anymore. His son is so smart that he should be able to understand what he meant.
Peng Liya smiled like a flower: “Good morning, Uncle Yan.”
Father Yan put up a stern face: “Good morning.”
Yuan Zhan got used to Father Yan’s serious face. Previously, he was able to completely suppress the original owner, and in front of him, the original owner also didn’t speak much.
But now Yuan Zhan doesn’t care about Father Yan’s seriousness. His father was also like this. Therefore, he naturally learned to remain calm, eating and drinking, without affecting his mood in the slightest.
As he was accompanying Mother Yan and Auntie to set the table and chopsticks, Mother Yan noticed that his eyes were a little swollen, so she asked him what was going on.
Yuan Zhan found an excuse: “I drank a little too much water last night, does it look a little swollen?”
Mother Yan nodded: “It’s quite swollen, let’s go to the spa after lunch, and let someone remove the swelling in your eyes.” She didn’t hear the two children quarreling last night, so she was sure that her son didn’t bully Yuan Zhan.
Yan Jingxi couldn’t read the newspaper, and upon hearing their conversation, he turned to Yuan Zhan: “You want to go to the beauty salon with mom?”
Mother Yan put away her smile: “Won’t you accompany me and Yuan Zhan, what an unfilial son!”
Originally, Yan Jingxi planned to go back after breakfast. But now he had no choice but to listen to his mother and be a filial son: “I have nothing else to do in the morning, so I’ll take you there.”
Mother Yan finally smiled and said, “That’s more like my son.”
Then she turned to look at Peng Liya who had been unable to intervene and said, “Liya, didn’t you say that your good sister is getting married tomorrow, and you want to check into the hotel in advance?”
Peng Liya thought that Mother Yan would ask Yan Jingxi to drop her off, so she spoke with a smile on her face: “Yes.”
Mother Yan told her happily: “Just as Jingxi is taking me and Yuan Zhan to the beauty salon, the driver can take you directly to the hotel.”
The smile on Peng Liya’s face froze slightly: “…Okay, thank you, auntie.”
Today, someone is accompanying her to a beauty salon, so Mother Yan, who was not very close to Yuan Zhan, was in a good mood. Even Yan Jingxi didn’t dare to spoil his mother’s good mood. He was indeed a filial son. Back then, he married Yuan Zhan because of his parents.
Maybe other CEOs have messy inside stories, but not Yan Jingxi.
Mother Yan’s body suffered some damage when she gave birth to Yan Jingxi. After she miscarried her second child, she was told by the doctor that she couldn’t have children anymore. They only had one son, Yan Jingxi, and their family is relatively clean. They also didn’t spoil Yan Jingxi because of him being an only child, and restricted his behavior while giving him enough freedom. The most regrettable thing for them was that Yan Jingxi was unable to marry his favorite Bai Yueguang.
However, in their eyes, Yan Jingxi seems to have a warmer and more indulgent attitude towards Yuan Zhan now, which they are happy to see.
Watching the driver take Peng Liya away, Mother Yan asked Yan Jingxi to take her and Yuan Zhan to the beauty salon.
However, before Peng Liya left, she kept looking at Yan Jingxi. Seeing that he was indifferent, she turned to the seemingly good-natured Yuan Zhan: “When I finish drinking my good sister’s wedding wine on the weekend, you have to show me around in your company. You promised me in Xiamen.”
Yuan Zhan readily agreed: “Of course, just give me a call whenever Sister Liya wants to come and visit. I can also take you to try our company’s staff meals. Nearby companies all comment that food in our company’s cafeteria is pretty good.”
Peng Liya was finally in a good mood, but she didn’t know that the trap she thought was a trap was specially prepared for her by the other party. She didn’t know whether the mantis was attacking the cicada or the cicada was attacking the mantis.
The beauty salon has a special waiting room, so Yan Jingxi chose to sit and wait for them, after all, it’s his mother.
As soon as they entered the door, the beautician who specially served Mother Yan came to welcome them. Mother Yan introduced Yuan Zhan and Yan Jingxi, and received compliments from the beauticians and store managers. Hearing them praising their son and daughter-in-law, She became very happy.
Yuan Zhan also chatted with them, making the beauticians happy.
Yan Jingxi remained expressionless the whole time. When Yuan Zhan was joking with the curvy beautician, he wished he could pull him away.
Their perfume smells too strong and pungent.
However, Yan Jingxi only thought about it in his heart, Yuan Zhan still had an appointment to do facials together with Mother Yan, so he definitely couldn’t leave immediately.
Yuan Zhan didn’t spend a long time doing facials, it only took him forty-five minutes, but Mother Yan had an appointment for the full body treatment, and it would take at least two hours. So Yuan Zhan could only accompany Yan Jingxi to sit in the reception hall, eating snacks and watching boring TV dramas.
The puffiness on Yuan Zhan’s eyes after the treatment was gone, which was quite effective.
As Yan Zhan was watching TV, Yan Jingxi kept looking at his face.
Yuan Zhan was not blind, and he would certainly feel uncomfortable being stared at all the time. He suddenly approached Yan Jingxi, and with only a little distance left between them, he asked: “Does it look good?”
Yan Jingxi was startled by the suddenly enlarged handsome face in front of him, and his neck tilted back.
Looking closer, Yuan Zhan indeed looks a bit more handsome than before, with narrow peach blossom eyes, willow-leaved eyebrows, and when he smiles, there is also a small and shallow pear dimple at the right corner of his mouth, which is not easy to see without careful observation.
Yuan Zhan moved a little closer and fixed his gaze on Yan Jingxi’s face: “I asked you if I look good?”
I don’t know whether he was confused by the smiling peach blossom eyes or was captivated by Yuan Zhan’s voice, but Yan Jingxi put his palm on his forehead: “Hmm, it looks good.”
Yuan Zhan patted the palm away that Yan Jingxi put on his forehead, the palm was too hot: “Really.”
I believe the original owner will be very happy to hear it.
Yan Jingxi woke up all of a sudden and turned his head to look at the TV, which was playing a shopping advertisement on it.
Intentionally or unintentionally, Yuan Zhan felt that it was quite fun to tease Yan Jingxi, and he decided to continue to use this method in the future. He thought that it is interesting to see Yan Jingxi feel a bit flustered.
There was an awkward silence between the two of them, so Yuan Zhan found a topic at random: “After lunch and sending mom back, what’s your plan for the afternoon?”
Yan Jingxi thought for two seconds: “Go to the gym to work out.”
Yuan Zhan raised his eyebrows: “Do you have a coach?”
Yan Jingxi: “Well, there are coaches there who will guide you.”
Yuan Zhan pinched his palm and it was basically fine. He recovered quickly and was just waiting for the skin to peel off, and he could also touch the water now, so he casually said: “I will go with you too.”
When he was a game anchor, he also had a good figure, and there was no shortage of muscles on his body, which was still different from an ordinary otaku.
Yan Jingxi wanted to refuse, but saw Yuan Zhan looking at him with a smile.
Yes, that one month deadline.
He just agreed.
At noon, Mother Yan, who had finished her spa treatment, was surrounded by the envious and jealous eyes of the beauticians, just like the ancestors surrounded by women in the Dream of the Red Chamber, full of energy and cheerful laughter.
In the presence of Mother Yan, the beauticians in the salon did not dare to make any moves towards Yan Jingxi and Yuan Zhan, and just stood at the door to watch the family of three leave.
After getting in the car, Mother Yan kept saying that the little girls in the beauty salon were particularly envious of her and so on.
Lunch was naturally eaten at home. No matter where you go to eat outside, it doesn’t feel as good as it does at home.
After the two elders went to take a nap, Yan Jingxi and Yuan Zhan left the house and headed straight to the gym.
Yan Jingxi had a private trainer, while Yuan Zhan didn’t as he came here for the first time, but one coach was more than enough to instruct two people.
Men’s workout is mostly inseparable from treadmills and various other fitness equipment. Yuan Zhan’s palms weren’t fully healed yet, so the coach asked him to practice jogging first, and there was no major problem. The rest of the time, he was instructing Yan Jingxi to use fitness equipment.
This afternoon, both of them were at peace with each other. After running for nearly an hour, Yuan Zhan was sweating and went to the bathroom to take a shower.
Yan Jingxi continued to exercise using various fitness equipment under the guidance of the coach.
There were a lot of people in the gym at this time because of the weekend, and everyone has their own personal trainer, so naturally there were also separate shower rooms.
After the shower, Yuan Zhan changed into clean clothes and was about to go out to watch Yan Jingxi exercise.
Unexpectedly, the world is so small and coincidental.
When passing by the small café in the gym, he saw two familiar faces.
His doctor Guan Shuyu, and his younger brother Guan Shujing, their voices were a bit loud, not knowing what they were talking about. To be precise, it looked like they were arguing.
Yuan Zhan was still thinking about whether to go over to say hello to them, but Guan Shuyu, who suddenly raised his head, saw him.
Guan Shuyu smiled and called out: “Mr. Yuan, are you also here to exercise?”
Yuan Zhan could only step forward and greet them, after all they knew each other: “Doctor Guan, I didn’t expect to meet you here.”
Guan Shuyu was a little surprised: “I don’t even dare to recognize you. You have changed a lot, what made you so energetic?”
Yuan Zhan pretended to be affectionate: “Of course it is love.”
Guan Shuyu froze for a moment and laughed: “Did you have a new encounter?”
Yuan Zhan shook his head and stopped talking. There are some things he can say to Guan Shuyu in private, but he needs to be vigilant about Guan Shujing’s presence. He is not an ordinary person, he is one of Bai Yueguang’s ten ex-fiancés.
At this time, Guan Shujing also calmed down, and reluctantly gave Yuan Zhan a smile. After all, he is his brother’s client, so he must not tear things apart.
Yuan Zhan had to wait for Yan Jingxi, so instead of running around, he sat down and chatted casually with Guan Shuyu.
During the conversation, Yuan Zhan was calm and composed, talking with ease, and Guan Shuyu, as his psychiatrist, felt that his mentality changed very quickly, until he saw Yan Jingxi, he consciously attributed the reason to the other party’s role.
Previously, due to the alienation from Yan Jingxi, Yuan Zhan’s condition got worse. However, because of the changes in their current relationship, Yuan Zhan seemed to have become a different person. Compared with Yuan Zhan a while ago, he looked like a new and revitalized person.
When Yan Jingxi learned that Yuan Zhan had severe depression, he sent someone to investigate the psychiatrist Yuan Zhan was seeing, and it was the man in front of him.
Having just come out of the shower, Yan Jingxi’s body was covered in moisture, and the temperature inside was relatively low.
Yuan Zhan introduced them to each other.
Yan Jingxi took the initiative to shake hands with Guan Shuyu: “Hello, I am Yan Jingxi.”
Guan Shuyu was entangled and sad. The entanglement was because of Yan Jingxi’s attitude, and the sad thing was that his patient’s condition got worse because of this person. If Yan Jingxi decided to treat Yuan Zhan better, the result could be imagined.
Guan Shuyu got up and shook hands with him: “Hello, I am Guan Shuyu.”
Yan Jingxi rarely smiled at the other party: “You look like a doctor?” He gives him a gentle and approachable feeling.
Except for Guan Shujing, everyone knew that Yan Jingxi was asking questions. No one knew better than Yuan Zhan how Yan Jingxi knew that he had depression. As for Guan Shuyu, he realized that Yan Jingxi was not a simple person. He might have investigated the people Yuan Zhan came into contact with. After all, they are still married and he still needs to pay more attention to some things.
Guan Shuyu smiled: “My profession is also a kind of doctor.” He deliberately helped Yuan Zhan hide it, but it was only in front of him, and he still wanted to talk to Yan Jingxi in private.
Guan Shujing also shook hands with Yan Jingxi, unaware that there was still a white moonlight between them.
Yuan Zhan wondered if they would think of today’s peaceful time when they find out the truth in the future.
Everyone has to enjoy this brief peace.
Yan Jingxi and Guan Shuyu could still have a good chat about current affairs, but Guan Shujing just had a quarrel with Guan Shuyu about Bai Yueguang, so he wasn’t in a good mood. He played with his mobile phone and left early after saying that he had an appointment.
Yuan Zhan looked at their backs in an inscrutable way, and when Yan Jingxi saw him, he smiled slightly.
However, Yan Jingxi felt that Yuan Zhan had only been looking at Guan Shujing just now and had other thoughts in his mind.
Where is Guan Shujing as handsome as him?
Guan Shujing left, and Guan Shuyu followed in his younger brother’s footsteps. Before leaving, he emphasized that Yuan Zhan should keep in touch with him, and exchanged cell phone numbers with Yan Jingxi.
When leaving the gym, Yan Jingxi casually chatted with Yuan Zhan: “I never heard that you have a doctor friend.”
He hoped that Yuan Zhan could tell him about his depression, but Yuan Zhan refused to “reveal” precisely because he knew what he was thinking.
Yuan Zhan’s eyes were bright, and he happily praised Guan Shuyu: “I just met him at a friend’s gathering. Dr. Guan is a very nice person.”
Yan Jingxi felt sour in his heart: “En, he is a pretty good person.”
