Hot and seductive

Chapter 169 Chapter 169

I am afraid that he will know that behind these answers are traps, abysses, and the possibility of identity exposure.

She instinctively wanted to escape from these.

Because she is afraid that if she announces it, it will bring joy or doom. She has no way of knowing. Now she can't afford to bet, neither her company nor her laboratory can afford to bet.

Chi Youxiao's eyes locked on her, as if he had seen through something: "Do you have anything to ask me?"

Ling Luo shook his head, avoiding his eyes: "No."

But Chi Youxiao's gaze was still firmly locked on her, as if to see through her inner thoughts.

"You don't want to ask me why I want to know this?"

Ling Luo refused messily, trying to escape from his arms, but was held in his arms.

Chi Youxiao was indifferent, and said word by word according to what he thought in his heart: "I want to know this because I want to know about you and..."

"You Xiao." Ling Luo interrupted him suddenly, she knew that if she continued talking, it would be out of control.

She finally dared to raise her eyes that had been dodging all this time, and looked at him in disbelief.

At the same time, her eyes were pleading.

Beg him not to go on.

Chi Youxiao paused every word, and said, "Ah Luo, do you have anything to do with Donglai Medicine?"

Ling Luo's breathing suddenly stopped, his eyes didn't move, and his body seemed to be frozen.

Is this a definite question, or just a guesswork?

She couldn't tell the difference, and it took a long time before she said, "Yes, all my products are imported from Donglai Medicine."

"that is it?"

He asked a lot of questions tonight, many times, he asked with a clear purpose, every question was a trap, waiting for her to make mistakes and reveal her secrets.

Only this time, he seemed to only want a reassuring answer.

For a person like him, if he really wants to check her, it should only be a matter of minutes, but he didn't expect that one day, he would rather listen to an explanation than check her.

As long as she said it, he would believe it.

But his kind of trust is like a hot potato, and like a scourge, it brings her endless embarrassment and fear, so she doesn't want to have a heart-to-heart relationship with him.

"So, you still don't believe me, do you?" Ling Luo said with difficulty, his heart full of difficulties: "Do I admit that I have a relationship with Donglai Medicine, and marrying you is for your money, so you are happy."

The conversation returned to the previous point of contradiction, just like this, constantly pulling, repeatedly crushing the hearts of the two people.

"You just want this answer to prove that I am a hypocritical woman who is greedy for your money, so that you can buy me with money with peace of mind, right?"

Chi Youxiao heard something was wrong, but before he could open his mouth, he heard Ling Luo laugh at himself, and said very gently: "Look, I am indeed a beauty in a vase who doesn't know what to do, and who can't make you happy. Maybe I really disappointed you, a person like me is not worthy of being a wealthy wife, if you are tired of playing, tell me earlier, I will not blackmail you for the rest of your life."

This kind of self-deprecating tenderness is more like a kind of relief.

This relief also concealed her embarrassment and coldness of being humiliated.

"Ah Luo—" Chi Youxiao eagerly called her name.

Ling Luo smiled, with a light and calm tone: "I thought we had at least the minimum level of trust. It was because I was so proud of being favored that I forgot that our identities were very different."

Seeing that she was about to get up and leave, Chi Youxiao stopped her desperately: "Ah Luo, I don't believe you."

Ling Luo stopped. This trust was so heavy that she couldn't breathe. Isn't this what she wanted?Why couldn't she be happy at all for his trust, instead she felt a heavy sense of guilt.

"Is this because of the news about Donglai Medicine today?" She asked after a moment of silence.

Chi Youxiao: "Yes."

"It turned out to be like this." Ling Luo was stunned, and came to his senses: "So you don't believe that I saw Miss Huo?"

"No..." Chi Youxiao took a deep breath, and did not dare to look at her with lowered eyes: "I just think it's too coincidental."

"If you don't believe me, you can ask the secretary, or someone in the government office, to see if the person the secretary met last time was Miss Huo..." Ling Luo twitched his lips helplessly: "Forget it, anyway, these things None of it matters."

In his mind, she should be a woman who can do anything for money.

Chi Youxiao nodded: "I should ask you directly, but I'm afraid to ask you directly, I have no position."

The beginning of this marriage was very delicate, he didn't know if he was qualified to ask these questions, so he stupidly used this way, but it seemed to be more counterproductive.

"You're asking a bad question, you might as well ask me directly."

Chi Youxiao smiled: "Yes, I apologize to you, I apologize to you, those words of mine were not sincere."

Ling Luo paused: "I'm going out for a walk, do you want to come together?"

It's almost five o'clock, the sky is bright, and the busy day in Kyoto city has already begun.

Chi Youxiao: "Okay."

This room is too depressing, making people feel down again and again, so it's better to go out for a walk.

Both of them changed their clothes and walked out of the courtyard.

The street lamps were glowing with afterglow, and the clouds in the sky were dyed golden yellow, revealing the light of dawn.

There are already sanitation workers cleaning the streets, and Mercedes-Benz taxis and couriers shuttle through the streets and alleys, adding popularity to the streets at dawn.

The two were relatively silent all the way.

Walking from left to right, I came to the ferry where Grandpa parked his raft beside the big river in Kyoto without knowing it.

The two of them boarded the boat tacitly, one in front of the other, and neither of them said much.

The two of them didn't say a word, and Chi Youxiao took the initiative to prop up the raft.

The ancient bricks and tiles on both sides of the river slowly backed away, reflected in Chi Youxiao's eyes through the water.

In the area where the water flow was slow, Chi Youxiao also sat cross-legged, holding a bamboo pole in his hand, ready to steer at any time.

The two remained silent, the sky was spitting fish white, and a new round of the sun slowly rose.

Occasionally passers-by cast a few appreciative glances, as if they were a little surprised by the sudden frame change on the river.

Chi Youxiao didn't speak all the time, just sat upright, as if she was on call at any time, but she didn't wait for her new round of blame. When she turned her head, she saw Ling Luo propping her chin, closing her eyes, occasionally eating rice like a chicken Nodding, seems to be asleep.

Her dozing eyes softened a little of her sadness.

But he didn't sleep loosely, his brows were wrinkled, his lips were pursed, as if he was very unhappy.

It was as if there were unhappy things in her dreams.

Chi Youxiao leaned her head gently on his shoulder, Ling Luo opened his eyes and looked at him in a daze, then closed them again.

It was already daylight when the two arrived home.

Just when Ling Luo was about to enter the East Wing to tidy up the room, Chi Youxiao suddenly stopped her: "Take some time, let's go to Hong Kong."
