Chapter 232 Sister-in-law, open the door. I am his brother (31)
Xie Jinyi has always put himself in the position of a "friend" and has asked Ruan Guannan out from time to time in the past two months.
Under his gentlemanly and decent care, Ruan Guannan gradually relaxed his guard. Every time he went to collect materials, he was in high spirits and brought his drawing board with him, with more smiles on his face.
This time, Xie Jinyi took her to a flower field in the neighboring city. Under the blue sky, large patches of flowers danced in the wind, and the air was filled with rich fragrance.
Ruan Guannan was in a good mood. He spread out the drawing paper, prepared the paint and brushes, and soon immersed himself in his own world, forgetting about Xie Jinyi beside him.
Xie Jinyi didn't disturb her, but stood quietly by and watched her paint.
Watching her skillfully present the beautiful scenery on the drawing paper, with plain or bright colors constantly spreading on the paper, it is actually more beautiful than the real scenery.
Xie Jinyi's gaze gradually shifted from the drawing paper to the person painting. The bright colors around him gradually faded in his eyes, leaving only the person whose beauty overshadowed the background.
The paint that accidentally got on her body made her look even more beautiful in his eyes, making Xie Jinyi unable to take his eyes away.
After the painting was completed, Ruan Guannan nodded with satisfaction. Noticing the gazes of the people around him, Ruan Guannan felt a little embarrassed.
When he met his smiling eyes, Ruan Guannan suddenly had an idea in his mind, and the urge to paint him became stronger and stronger.
Ruan Guannan tried to negotiate.
"Jinyi, are you willing to be my model?"
Xie Jinyi was stunned for a moment, then immediately realized what she meant and confirmed it.
"Can I?"
Ruan Guannan nodded heavily, "Of course!"
Xie Jinyi's eyes brightened up a bit, and his usual calmness and composure also disappeared briefly at this moment. He said gently:
"I can't ask for it."
Xie Jinyi walked into the flower field and immediately injected new vitality into the scenery.
Ruan Guannan changed a piece of drawing paper, looked at Xie Jinyi carefully, picked up the paintbrush and started to draw.
As the painting progressed, Ruan Guannan kept looking at his figure, facial features and limbs, which made Xie Jinyi, who was already a little nervous, even more tense to the extreme.
But a secret joy emerged in his heart. Whenever her eyes fell on him seriously, Xie Jinyi felt his blood boiling, and his eyes became gradually deep due to the stimulation.
Every time he pretended to accidentally meet her eyes, she would shyly avoid him at first.
Slowly, she stopped dodging, looked at him quietly for a moment, and then returned to the drawing paper.
Xie Jinyi's heart was pounding violently, and he gradually lost himself in her sparkling eyes.
After the painting was completed, Ruan Guannan once again met his restrained eyes and was gradually attracted by the affection hidden in his eyes.
In the flower field where the breeze was blowing, the two of them looked at each other quietly.
Xie Jinyi slowly opened his arms and looked at her quietly. The love in his eyes was no longer concealed, and it surged towards Ruan Guannan like an overwhelming force.
Ruan Guannan's heart trembled at the heat of his love, but she did not dodge this time. Under Xie Jinyi's eyes full of love and expectation, she threw herself into his arms.
He suppressed the desire and impulse in his heart, and with great restraint, he placed a light kiss on her forehead.
On the drawing paper, a dignified and gentle man stood quietly in the flower field, looking at the person painting with a smile.
Outside the drawing paper, the man slowly tightened his arms, held his long-awaited treasure in his arms, cherishing it with all his heart.

"You little brat, why don't you come back and manage the company? I'm already so old, and you're going to tire me out by chasing after a wife. You're just like your father, a disobedient son and a disobedient grandson!"
Grandpa Xie's roar almost penetrated the phone and pierced Xie Jinyi's eardrum. Xie Jinyi moved the phone further away and waited until the old man was stable before he put it back to his ear.
"Grandpa, thank you for your hard work. I'll take a flight back tomorrow."
After a pause, Grandpa Xie calmed down his pretended anger and tried to change the topic:
"There's always work to do at the company, and your life is more important. I'm just complaining, you go do your thing."
"No, I want to stay, but someone won't let me stay and is trying to drive me back in a hurry."
Xie Jinyi chuckled and glanced to the side as if nothing had happened, which made Ruan Guannan, who was already a little nervous, want to cover his mouth.
He sounded very aggrieved, but how could Grandpa Xie not hear the joy and teasing in his voice?
I can hear the ripples in his laughter even through the phone!
Grandpa Xie's heart finally settled down. After hanging up the phone, he even hummed a few songs happily.
He had just hummed a few times when the phone rang a few more times. When he saw that it was Old Man Lu calling, the joy on Grandpa Xie's face faded.
He also heard that the old man's second grandson got divorced some time ago. He had been thinking of having a drink with him and scolding these unfilial descendants together, saying that they were such a trouble.
But now, he thinks that he and Lao Lu are no longer in the same boat.
After all, his eldest grandson has found a wife again, and this time he is very likely to have a great-grandson. Grandpa Xie can resist showing off to Grandpa Lu because of their friendship over the years.
He cleared his throat, picked up the phone and chatted with Mr. Lu for a few words. The two old friends hadn't met for a while, so they made an appointment for dinner this time.
As soon as Grandpa Xie walked into the tavern with his cane, he saw that the old man had already ordered the dishes and started drinking.
Grandpa Xie sighed, clinked glasses with him, and the two of them had a very enjoyable chat.
"Jin Yi is on a long mission. Do you still need to trouble an old man like you to go on the mission?"
Mr. Lu asked casually, but he was puzzled when he saw the old man opposite him laughing so hard that the wrinkles on his face almost came together.
Grandpa Xie waved his hands, looking annoyed, and said, "What business trip? You're shamelessly chasing after your wife."
Mr. Lu was really surprised this time, "Are you going to remarry, or find another one?"
"If he meets someone he likes, the boy has high standards. If he really meets a pretty girl, I, an old man, will not bother to care about him anymore."
Grandpa Lu curled his lips. If the old guy could retract his grinning mouth, he would still believe that he was really impatient.
So he said unconvincedly, "No matter how beautiful she is, can she be prettier than my granddaughter-in-law... my ex-granddaughter-in-law?"
Grandpa Lu changed his words, but he was furious again.
"That old fellow Ruan Bosong passed away last year. I was thinking that if his granddaughter married into our Lu family, I would be protecting her. I didn't expect that bastard..."
Grandpa Lu sighed and felt guilty towards his deceased friend.
Grandpa Xie also sighed. He had dealt with Ruan Bosong when he was young, but their friendship was not as deep as that with Old Man Lu. After he went to the south, he never saw him again.
But after being reminded by him, Grandpa Xie always felt like he had forgotten something, but when the moment came he just couldn't remember it, which made him very frustrated.
Seeing that he looked dazed, Grandpa Lu thought that he didn't believe what he said about praising his former grandson's wife. He angrily took out the photo of Ruan Guannan and everyone in the family group and pushed it in front of Grandpa Xie to show it.
He had never seen a girl as pretty as Guannan, and he didn't believe that Xie could find a better one and let this old guy show off in front of him!
But this one look almost scared Grandpa Xie away...
