Chapter 589 - 587
Jiang Yifan was talking to Madam Yin, but his gaze kept stealing glances toward Ye Xinyan, watching her face full of disinterest. He didn’t feel discouraged, instead, he found it exceptionally endearing.
Finally seeing Ah Yan again, Ah Yan was still just like before, openly displaying her emotions in front of him. How could he not be overjoyed?
When he left Qingyuan County, although he knew he would miss Ah Yan after returning to the capital, he never expected that this longing would deepen with the passage of time. Now, seeing the woman he’d missed for more than half a year, he felt everything about her was beautiful, pleasing to the eye, almost to the point where he couldn’t bear to look away.
Madam Yin, seeing the deep affection in the gaze of her ideal son-in-law toward her daughter, naturally knew what he was thinking. She couldn’t help but smile and said, "It’s getting late, Yuanfan, have a few words with Ah Yan, and then we should set off for the capital."
Ye Xinyan’s eyes widened instantly upon hearing Madam Yin’s words. She simply couldn’t understand how there could be such a mother in the world, so eager to throw her daughter under the bus. At least for now, she and Jiang Yifan were two unrelated members of the opposite sex; encouraging another young man to strike up a conversation with her daughter, wasn’t that a bit inappropriate?
The wife of the heir apparent used to always dote on her daughter, right? No matter what the daughter did, everything was good, right, and warranting of full indulgence. So how come it all changed when it came to her? She was so obedient, sensible, compliant, intelligent, capable... Anyway, she had all kinds of virtues that her predecessor lacked, so why was her mother not going along with her now?
Look at the situation now, adding up all the intimate "my son", "my daughter" phrases, was she being placed in a position of absolution?
Now knowing that Jiang Yifan was intent on marrying her, her mother was so eager to facilitate the match, as if she couldn’t wait to send her off to Jiang Yifan’s mansion. Was it because she was too sensible?
