A Chance Marriage: Pick up a CEO to be a husband
Chapter 17
Everyone in the Chen family had different expressions on their faces, but they all kept quiet out of fear.
Especially the younger generation, all of them lowered their heads and kept quiet.
"Old Chen, TCM believes that the five senses are connected to the five internal organs. If the five senses are too extreme, it will affect the function of the corresponding organs."
Zhi Hai, who was sitting next to Old Chen, spoke calmly. His words carried a sense of detachment.
"The five senses and the five internal organs?" Old Chen's attention was indeed diverted.
"I wonder who here can answer your question, Old Chen?"
Although Zhi Hai's words were directed at all the members of the Chen family, his eyes were on Su Xiaonian's face.
"The five internal organs should be the heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys?" Chen Mengxue seized the opportunity to make her presence known.
At the same time, she secretly looked at Su Xiaonian.
"Xiaonian, do you know what the five senses are?"
Zhi Hai spoke again as everyone looked at each other, trying to guess what the five senses were.
At that moment, everyone's eyes fell on Su Xiaonian.
"According to TCM, the five senses are anger, joy, yearning, sadness, and fear. They are connected to the five internal organs: the liver, heart, spleen, lungs, and kidneys."
She had no intention of showing off. She just picked out the parts that she knew and explained them simply.
Chen Mengxue clenched her fists tightly under the table.
"Oh? Xiaonian, tell me more. Is there any knowledge? "
As one grew older, one would naturally pay more attention to knowledge about health.
Old Chen immediately asked.
"'Plain Questions: The Great Theory of Yin and Yang' says that anger harms the liver, joy harms the heart, yearning harms the spleen, sadness harms the lungs, and fear harms the kidneys."
"Sister, you're amazing!"
As soon as Su Xiaonian finished speaking, Su Tuantuan clapped her hands adorably with a look of admiration.
On the other hand, the rest of the Chen family had different expressions on their faces.
Su Tuantuan, however, did not care about the relationship between the adults. He took out two pieces of chocolate from his pocket and pushed them to Su Xiaonian obediently.
His big eyes were bright and adorable.
"Tuantuan's favorite chocolate. You can have it …" He emphasized again.
"You can have it all!"
"Xiaonian, what's going on with this' happiness and sadness'? How can happiness be sadness? "
Sensing that something was wrong with her daughter, Chen Mengxue, the second daughter-in-law, Wang Yixin, spoke calmly. However, she reached out to hold her daughter's hand under the table.
"'Medical Treatise: Qi' says: Happiness leads to relaxation of Qi, and unimpeded aspiration. He Huan is not sick.
"However, excessive happiness leads to a distracted state of mind. Endless laughter, unrestrained Qi, and even madness."
Su Xiaonian looked straight at her third uncle's family when she said this.
Chen Jingfeng's face was gloomy because Chen Mingzhu had lost her composure in front of the nobles and made Old Master Chen very unhappy. Zhou Qiaoqiao, on the other hand, seemed to be thinking about something.
"It means that extraordinary happiness will make people feel uneasy. They might even be incoherent and act abnormally.
"So, everything has to be done in moderation."
Su Xiaonian retracted her gaze and saw that the wine glass in front of Ye Zechen was filled with wine.
Was he crazy? He just had a gastric hemorrhage, and he still wants to drink wine?
"I didn't know that even happiness has such a deep knowledge. Sixth wife, you've taught me well."
Old Master Chen's hearty laughter rang in everyone's ears. There was no trace of the anger he had when he was provoked by Chen Mingzhu.
Zhou Qiaoqiao's heart skipped a beat when she met Su Xiaonian's gaze.
She didn't know if it was an illusion … Why did she feel that Su Xiaonian was talking about "stopping in moderation" when he said that?
Even though Old Master Chen had lived abroad for many years, he still retained most of the habits he had in China. Persuading people to drink was one of them.
Master Zhi Hai was considered an outsider, so of course he could avoid it. However, Ye Zechen was not so lucky.
"Elliott, you have to finish this wine without leaving a single drop. Otherwise … you're looking down on the Chen family!"
Su Xiaonian's eyebrows twitched when she smelled the strong smell of white wine. She subconsciously looked in Ye Zechen's direction.
However, his handsome side profile did not change in the slightest.
If Su Xiaonian had not seen with her own eyes how he had fainted in the hospital due to gastric bleeding, she would never have thought that …
Under such a cold and indifferent face, there was a hidden illness.
Su Xiaonian pursed her lips and looked away when she saw that Ye Zechen had really picked up the wine glass on the table.
The direct result of this action was that she did not notice the look that Ye Zechen was giving Su Tuantuan.
She saw Su Tuantuan viciously twist Oscar's butt when no one was paying attention.
Oscar screamed and subconsciously rushed toward Ye Zechen.
Ye Zechen dropped the wine glass in his hand …
Su Xiaonian didn't even have time to react before the blue shirt and Ye Zechen suffered the same fate.
"Xiaonian, are you okay?" Chen Mengxue got up and came to Su Xiaonian's side, but she was looking at Ye Zechen.
"Mr. Elliott, you …"
Chen Mengxue's face was full of worry. Before she could hand over the tissue, Ye Zechen had already blocked it without a trace.
"Miss Chen, I'm really sorry." Ye Zechen's voice rang in Su Xiaonian's ears.
Su Xiaonian knew that he did it on purpose, but she couldn't say anything now.
"Little Nian, go upstairs and change your clothes," Lisa finally said coldly after watching for a long time.
"Mengxue, why don't you accompany Mr. Elliott upstairs to change?" Wang Yixin quickly said.
Old Master Chen looked at Ye Zechen and Su Xiaonian thoughtfully.
"No need. Miss Chen is going upstairs to change too. Why don't you let her bring me up?"
As soon as Ye Zechen said that, Su Peipei, the daughter-in-law of the fourth family, smiled mockingly at Wang Yixin, the daughter-in-law of the second family.
Everyone knew what she was up to.
It was a pity that he didn't even look at her, who was as pretty as a flower and as beautiful as jade. It was really ridiculous.
Chen Mengxue's face turned pale instantly. She bit her lower lip and didn't know what to do.
Ye Zechen didn't even look at her. He only looked at Su Xiaonian.
"Xiaonian, what are you waiting for? Why don't you bring Elliott upstairs to change?"
"I remember that Junhao still has a few sets of clothes at home. Let's change with his first."
The meaning behind Old Man Chen's words was very clear …
Su Xiaonian felt that her back was being burned by Chen Mengxue's gaze as they went upstairs.
On the other hand, Ye Zechen was expressionless. No one could see anything strange about him.
The Chen family's villa was very big and the corridor was very long. They could vaguely hear the sounds coming from the dining room downstairs.
Su Xiaonian and Ye Zechen walked one after the other. She walked very fast, as if she was angry, although even Su Xiaonian herself did not know what she was angry about.
"We're here. This is the room."
Even though Chen Junhao had moved out, some of his clothes were still in the old house.
Su Xiaonian pushed the door open. Before she could turn around to leave, she felt a gust of hot air behind her. Then … she was pushed into the room by Ye Zechen.
"Are you crazy?" With a click, the door was locked from the inside. Su Xiaonian's eyes widened in shock.
Her back was pressed against the wall. The strong smell of alcohol permeated the air around them.
"Help me pick." Ye Zechen held her waist tightly with both hands. Su Xiaonian couldn't move at all.
"Let go of me." Su Xiaonian was really angry. This was the Chen family. Was he crazy enough to drag her in?
If she was seen by others, how would she have the face to see others?
"Help me pick one and I'll let you go."
Ye Zechen lowered his head to look at her face. Perhaps she was too afraid of being discovered, but Su Xiaonian's entire body was like a cooked shrimp.
Even her earlobes, which were as exquisite as jade, were extremely red.
"Are you serious?" Su Xiaonian was desperate to get out of this situation. Su Xiaonian raised her head, and her clear eyes were filled with urgency.
"Yes, I'm serious."
Ye Zechen stroked the long hair by her cheek, his deep gaze fixated on that little face that was burning red.
"Then move aside."
Su Xiaonian looked at him warily. She only heaved a sigh of relief when Ye Zechen really let go of her.
She walked to the wardrobe and opened the door. The door temporarily blocked Ye Zechen's ferocious gaze, and it also made her come back to her senses.
"Blue or black?"
Su Xiaonian asked him as she raised one of them in her hand.
Ye Zechen glanced at the two clothes.
"It's up to you." His tone was still as lukewarm as before.
"Black then."
Su Xiaonian carefully kept a distance from him and handed the shirt in her hand to him.
"Are you afraid of me?"
"No." Almost at the same time, Ye Zechen heard Su Xiaonian's rebuttal.
There was a smile on his thin lips, but the next second, he unbuttoned his shirt in front of Su Xiaonian.
Su Xiaonian didn't react for a moment. When she saw Ye Zechen's exposed chest, she subconsciously turned her back, and her face was burning.
"Ye Zechen, you didn't keep your word!"
She lowered her voice in exasperation.
"The door is just over there, and I didn't block you. Seeing that you didn't move, I thought you wanted to watch me change."
Su Xiaonian suddenly turned around again.
Ye Zechen casually exposed a large part of his chest, and his voice was full of ridicule.
"You …" Su Xiaonian looked at him, then angrily opened the locked door and walked to the room next door …
Su Xiaonian unbuttoned the shirt in front of her chest, and the strong smell of liquor made her frown.
This room was specially reserved by Lisa for her when she came back to live in, and it happened to be next to Chen Junhao's room.
Su Xiaonian casually threw the shirt on the floor, and the indigo blue dress in her hand was just taken out of the closet.
For some reason, Su Xiaonian suddenly recalled the way Chen Mengxue looked at Ye Zechen when they were downstairs.
She was shy and timid, obviously? Narrowing her eyes?
"Femme fatale!"
If she hadn't met Ye Zechen and experienced it firsthand, Su Xiaonian would never have believed that these two words would be used to describe a man.
Especially that pair of peach blossom eyes, they were seductive!
Even though he was a widow, he couldn't suppress the waves of peach blossoms.
Knock, knock, knock …
Su Xiaonian was just thinking about it when she heard someone knocking on the door.
"Who is it?" She subconsciously used the long dress to block her body, thinking that it was Ye Zechen who had changed and was knocking on the door.
"Xiaonian, are you inside?" It was Chen Mengxue?
"…" Nonsense, otherwise, would she be talking to a ghost?
"What's the matter?" Her voice didn't sound cold, but it didn't sound warm either.
"No, I knocked on Mr. Elliott's door, but there was no response." Chen Mengxue's soft voice could be heard through the gap in the door.
Was there something wrong with her? There was no response from Ye Zechen, so why was he here?
As she was thinking about it, Su Xiaonian's eyes inadvertently glanced at the full-length mirror …
"Ah …" There was a short sound …
"Xiaonian? What's wrong? Xiaonian? "Chen Mengxue pressed the side of her ear against the door, unwilling to let go of any movement in her room.
She had mustered up her courage to knock on Ye Zechen's door, but there was no response.
She tried to twist the doorknob, but it was locked from the inside.
Su Xiaonian's eyes widened, but her mouth was covered by a strong palm. He didn't use too much force, but he didn't let her make any sound.
In the fitting mirror, she could clearly see the man and woman hugging each other.
The balcony door, which had not been locked, was also pushed open from the outside. The gauze curtains were blown by the wind, causing ripples to appear!
"Are you going to tell her that I'm here?"
Ye Zechen, who had already changed into his shirt, pursed his thin lips and deliberately lowered his voice as he whispered into Su Xiaonian's ear.
Su Xiaonian's long eyelashes kept trembling as he covered her mouth.
When she saw Ye Zechen's figure in the fitting mirror just now, she was extremely terrified.
Of course, she knew that he had climbed over from the balcony, but … if he was careless and fell down … or was discovered by someone else … How bold was this man?
Just as Chen Mengxue's knocking became more and more urgent, Su Xiaonian finally made up her mind and shook her head.
She would have to be crazy to tell others that Ye Zechen was here right now!
"Be good …" Ye Zechen spoke to Su Xiaonian like he was coaxing a child, which made her angry and annoyed.
Fortunately, he finally let go of his hand.
"I'm fine. I'll go downstairs after changing. As for Mr. Elliott, if you want to see him, please knock on the door next door."
Su Xiaonian's voice was even colder than before.
Another reason was that Ye Zechen was hugging her, who was only wearing her underwear.
Perhaps it was because of Su Xiaonian's attitude, but Chen Mengxue stopped knocking.
Even so, Su Xiaonian could still feel that Chen Mengxue had not left.
It was also because of this that her body stiffened and she allowed Ye Zechen to sniff her ear from above. Then ….
"I like Mr. Elliott. Can you …"
Suddenly, Chen Mengxue's voice was heard outside the door.
She had come up with the excuse of going to the bathroom, so she could not stay for too long. Even her voice was trembling.
"Hiss …" Su Xiaonian gasped because Ye Zechen's thin lips were brushing across her bare shoulder.
"You like him. Why are you here to tell me?"
She said to Chen Mengxue, who was outside the door. Then, Su Xiaonian turned to look at Ye Zechen.
"What do you want to do?"
She asked silently. She could not stand his constant "harassment". Her heart … was about to jump out of her chest!
"Be with me!"
Ye Zechen sucked on her earlobe and rubbed it against her ear.
Su Xiaonian's most sensitive earlobe was being controlled by him. All the hair on her body stood up and she could not help but tremble.
"Are you crazy?"
There was a woman outside the door who wanted to be his stepmother. Did he not feel anything at all?
"Promise me, or …"
Ye Zechen also mouthed back. He did not say anything for a long time. Instead, he looked at the door.
"Because I feel that Mr. Elliott's son seems to like you very much …"
Chen Mengxue's voice was delicate and lovely, but Su Xiaonian, who was also a woman, was completely immune to it.
But soon, she understood that perhaps Chen Mengxue did not only want to say these words to her.
Su Xiaonian's body tensed up because she suddenly felt Ye Zechen reaching out to lift her long hair. And behind her … the scars on her back that even she could not accept … That was good. If a man saw those waist-length scars, perhaps he would completely lose interest in her!
But … just as Su Xiaonian was thinking about this, the delicate kisses had already moved from her shoulder to her neck and back.
They spread densely.
Fireworks exploded in her head. Su Xiaonian supported herself with one hand on the fitting mirror. Her slender legs were a little weak.
"Be with me." Ye Zechen hugged Su Xiaonian tightly from behind, as if he wanted to embed her into his body.
"Let go of me."
Su Xiaonian's heart pounded as if it had been derailed. She hugged the dress tightly in her arms.
"Xiaonian? Are you angry? Why aren't you saying anything? "Chen Mengxue knocked on the door again!
"Be with me, or I'll open the door and let her see what you're doing with her own eyes!"
Ye Zechen felt Su Xiaonian struggling in his arms and trapped her tightly. He whispered in her ear in a coaxing tone.
He was forcing her!
Before Su Xiaonian could get angry, her body was suddenly turned around by the man in the next moment, and she faced him.
"Are you crazy, Ye Zechen?" She could see the seriousness in his eyes, and she was afraid.
She could see that in addition to the seriousness in his eyes, there was also a burning passion. That kind of burning passion made her feel at a loss.
"I'm crazy. I've been crazy for five years. I can't wait any longer!"
Ye Zechen said each and every word seriously!
He had thought that he could endure it, but when Xiaonian appeared in front of him again, everyone's patience disappeared!
"Be with me!"
"What's the matter?" Lisa's voice came from outside, making Su Xiaonian's heart beat faster!
Why was she here?
"Xiaonian hasn't spoken for a while. I'm worried that she …"
Chen Mengxue's voice lowered.
Su Xiaonian pushed Ye Zechen with all her might. Lisa had a spare key to the room. If she opened the door with the key and saw …
"Go back! I beg you! "
Su Xiaonian's body was trembling.
"You know what I want to hear!" Ye Zechen had no intention of moving. He had already hugged her tightly.
"Xiaonian? I'm going to open the door with the key! "
Lisa's hand turned the doorknob. Even though it was locked from the inside, the clicking sound almost made Su Xiaonian's tears come out!
"Xiaonian, be with me, or die with me!"
Ye Zechen stared at her intently, not giving Su Xiaonian any chance to dodge his gaze.
He knew very well that she was like a little fox. Once she sensed danger, she would immediately run away and disappear.
"Xiaonian, I'm opening the door …"
Lisa's voice came from outside at the same time …
