Chapter 422 - You Want to Murder Your Husband (1/2)
Chapter 422 You Want to Murder Your HusbandThe pick-up port had been surrounded by a lot of people. Shen Yan stood in the middle of the crowd, and Xia Yu could only follow behind in silence. Probably waiting for another ten minutes, there are tourists coming out from the inside with luggage successively. Someone was cheering in the pick-up port, and someone was running over to hug them.
Xia Yu didn’t know whom Shen Yan came for until he waved his hand to the crowd and shouted, “Mr. Huang!”
“Hey! Here!” Someone in the crowd responded.
Xia Yu cast her eyesight in the direction of the sound and found an old man coming out of the crowd. He was not tall, wearing an old-fashioned woolen felt hat, a gray plaid wool vest on the upper body, black pants on her lower part, with a suitcase in one hand, and an old sweater hanging in the other hand. He looked like a little old man who was working in the S city from a remote place.
But Xia Yu knew that he would not be an ordinary person, or Shen Yan would not personally come here and pick him up. She was not a person who liked to talk, so she kept standing aside.
Shen Yan came up to greet him and shook hands with him. “You must be tired. How is the trip?”
“It’s okay. The seat is spacious, but the food is not good. I’m so old to take such a long trip.” The old man’s tone was so hearty, looking like a very comfortable man.
Shen Yan smiled and immediately answered, “The plane meal is definitely not good, but I have already asked some people to prepare dinner.”
The old man listened to his words, and his countenance suddenly fell. He paddled his feet and came near to the ear of Shen Yan. “Have you prepared some wine for me?”
Shen Yan smiled and said, “Yes, everything is ready!”
Mr. Huang said, “Ha-ha! You are always the most sensible boy!”
Xia Yu kept smiling and watching them talking as if there were no other people aside.
Mr. Huang was a pleasant person. He said, “Shall we set off?”
Shen Yan took over the luggage from Mr. Huang’s hand and said, “The car is outside. This way, please!”
Mr. Huang couldn’t wait to turn around and saw Xia Yu who had been following Shen Yan all the way. It seemed that he just noticed her and said, “Who is this?”
Shen Yan smiled and said, “My fiancée!”
Mr. Huang deliberately glanced at Xia Yu with his face showing a very secret and profound smile. “Fiancée! Ah! Good, good!” After that, he left himself and walked forward.
Xia Yu was just going to greet him while he just walked away from her casually like this. How embarrassing it was! Xia Yu was stunned for a while and stood still in situ, looking at Mr. Huang’s back stiffly. She was guessing who he was on earth.
“Come on!” Shen Yan turned around and said.
They seemed to have an important thing. She was afraid that it was related to the Headquarters, so it was not appropriate for her to go along. Xia Yu still held the folder in her arms and said, “I will not go with you!”
She had already thought about it, and it was very convenient to take a taxi directly to go back from the airport. But Shen Yan narrowed his eyebrows and said, “If you don’t go with me, who will drive me when I am drunk after a while?”
So, she was his full-time diver!
On the way back from the airport, Shen Yan was driving, and Mr. Huang was sitting in the back seat. Xia Yu was sitting in the co-pilot. The old man had a lot of words, and he was having an amicable chat with Shen Yan. As for Xia Yu, she only needed to be quiet like a small piece.
The car was driven away from the airport for more than an hour, and they came to a remote place. Finally, it stopped at the door of a two-story residential building in the suburbs.
“We’re here.”
Someone in the house immediately came out to open the door for Mr. Huang and carry his luggage.
Xia Yu got out of the car by herself and roughly took note of the surrounding environment by moonlight. The small building had white walls and black tiles, and there was a small field at the door, surrounded by a fence.
Shen Yan led Mr. Huang in. It was a courtyard with a patio inside. The yard was not large. There was a large shelf made of bamboos. The shelf was surrounded by many green leaves, but whether there were vegetables and fruit or some flowers could not be differentiated for the obscure night. Under the shelf was a stone table with a stone chair, and there was a well in the corner not far away.
Across the yard, there was the main hall, where there were some old but well-painted square tables and old-fashioned wooden armchairs. On the wall hung a large ink painting. All the decoration and ornaments were a bit like the style of an old-fashioned house, but the light and the view were very good. If you sat in the chair, you could be able to see the moon hanging over the yard.
Shen Yan roughly introduced the situation of the house to Mr. Huang and said, “The house is cleaned up by someone contingently, and I have no idea whether you are satisfied.”
Mr. Huang walked around the hall and finally fixed his eyes on the ink painting.
“Little Shen, it’s very nice.”
Shen Yan smiled and said, “Not at all, Mr. Huang. Since you are willing to come over, it is the least I can do.”
After that, he asked the servers in the house to come out. He knew that Mr. Huang preferred tranquility, so he only arranged a driver and an aunt. The driver was responsible for driving the car and the procurement. The aunt was responsible for cooking and other household chores.
“Since time is in such a hurry, there may be something not considerate enough. Please just settle down first. If you are not satisfied, please tell me at any time!” Shen Yan was full of patience. Xia Yu looked aside and frowned constantly. Why had he never shown such a gentle and meticulous side?
Then they went to have dinner in another restaurant where a large glass window faced right towards the yard, and the dishes were also very refreshing, mainly vegetables, yam, crown daisy, steamed egg, plus some fish soup, and two kinds of wild vegetables.
The three people were sitting around the table. In fact, Xia Yu was completely unwilling to sit down, but Mr. Huang dragged her to be together, so she could only company them. She rarely had any food and only sat there quietly. On the other side, Shen Yan and Mr. Huang were chatting hilariously and drank a lot of wine.
It took only more than one hour for them to finish two bottles of crusted Maotai with high alcoholic content.
Xia Yu was stunned when seeing this. No one would drink like this, but anyway, Mr. Huang was so happy that he even poured a cup for Xia Yu and asked her to drink then. Xia Yu could not drink it and refused, waving her hand.
The old man seemed to be a little unhappy.
“Why? You want to make me lose face the first time we sit here together for drinking, right?”
Xia Yu was speechless, but fortunately, Shen Yan on the opposite side took the cup for her in time. “She can’t drink. Besides, if she drinks it, I can’t go back home later.”
