Fallen

Chapter 11
The internal phone beeped, Xia Xia dashed across the office hall, and finally picked it up in time before the other party hung up.
The call came from the front desk: "Xia Xia, there is a lady who wants to see your boss."
"Uh, miss?" Xia Xia responded with a series of contemptuous empty words in her heart. I don't know which of Tian Ning's romantic debts came out again, "But Mr. Tian is not in the company today!"
"I said the same thing, but people don't believe it."
"Is she looking for Mr. Tian for something?"
"No, she insisted on meeting Mr. Tian." The tone of the front desk also had a hint of gossiping excitement, "She said her name was Han Qing."
"Oh—ah?" When Xia Xia heard that it was still an old debt, she paused and said, "You let her answer the phone, and I'll talk to her directly."
There was a flurry on the other end of the receiver, and then Han Qing's voice came over: "Miss Guo? I'm Han Qing. Is Tian Ning in the company?"
"Hello, Ms. Han, Mr. Tian is really not at the company today, and went to the customer's place."
"Then when will he come back?"
"I can't say for sure."
"Can you call me and ask?"
"This..." Xia Xia was really in trouble, but Han Qing's voice sounded pitiful, and she couldn't help but soften her heart, "That's fine, just wait!"
She dialed Tian Ning's number on her mobile phone, and the other party answered after several rings.
"What's the matter?" Tian Ning's voice was very low.
Xia Xia also lowered her voice involuntarily: "Mr. Tian, are you going back to the company today?"
"Not necessarily—are you okay?"
"Uh...no, nothing, just asking casually."
Tian Ning looked at his watch: "It may take another hour. You should be able to get back before five o'clock. Are you going to wait for me?"
"Huh? Oh, okay, okay!"
There was a smile in Tian Ning's voice: "I'll go back as soon as I'm done here."
As soon as she put down her phone, Xia Xia hurriedly reported to Han Qing: "He said he would be back around five o'clock."
"Then I'll wait for him here—thank you, Ms. Guo." Han Qing's nice voice was filled with gratitude, "I specially asked for half a day off today."
A quarter of an hour before five o'clock, Tian Ning came back excitedly, with a full smile on his face, Xia Xia observed his words and immediately felt relieved - if the client's negotiation did not go well, then Miss Han Qing would probably To be dragged down.
Han Qing went out of her way to find a job in order to reconnect with Tian Ning. Xia Xia felt that it was respectable for a girl to make changes for the one she loved. She was willing to give up the "deal" with Tian Ning for this. The matter of salary does not necessarily have a certain meaning, and besides, such a small matter of oneself is definitely not as important as other people's marriage.
"President Tian, there is a guest waiting to see you!"
Tian Ning restrained himself and looked at her with a smile, full of suspicion: "What guest?"
Xia Xia also teased him: "It's a girl, in meeting room 223, you'll know when you meet her."
Tian Ning couldn't catch any specific information from her face, so he frowned and threw the bag on her desk, before striding towards the meeting room.
Xia Xia secretly imagined Tian Ning's expression when he saw Han Qing for the first time, and Han Qing's excited rush, followed by a bleak and tactful confession, and then naturally reunited, and you're done!
She was moved by the plot she had written. Apart from this touch, there was also a trace of self-righteous greatness. Besides this greatness, there was another taste, which was faint and sour, and I couldn't find the exact words to describe it.
When Xia Xia was wondering about her weird feeling, the door of meeting room 223 was suddenly opened loudly, and Han Qing came out angrily, with her head held high, and she was still carrying her when she came upstairs. A paper bag to carry with you.Tian Ning also came out of the conference room slowly with an unpredictable and gloomy face, put a considerable distance from Han Qing, and walked towards the office at a leisurely pace.
Xia Xia stared in astonishment at Han Qing who passed by her without even looking at her. This tense situation was not a little bit different from the script in her mind.
"Guo Xiaxia, come in!"
Xia Xia shuddered immediately when she heard the sound. She was still in the mood of watching a play just now, but as time passed by, she became the tragic protagonist, just waiting to be drenched in blood.
As usual, close the door.
Afterwards, Xia Xia built up a strong line of defense in her heart "hey, hey, hey", hoping to resist Tian Ning's irrational roar.
Unexpectedly, Tian Ning stood facing the wall and remained silent for a long time.
Xia Xia couldn't figure out which song he was going to sing, so she thought about it, rather than passively being scolded, she would rather admit her mistake actively, at least it could give the other party some time to buffer her anger.
"Boss, this, Han Qing, oh, Ms. Han said she has found a job, you, you didn't think she was lazy before, so she asked me that... I just want to help her once... What do you do?" It is said that we have been in love for several years..."
Tian Ning turned around slowly, with an unexpectedly calm expression, mixed with a trace of solemnity: "Guo Xiaxia, give me a chance."
Xia Xia's script didn't include his lines at all, and the turning point was too strong. She had the illusion of stepping into the void: "What, what?"
When Xia Xia was in a daze, Tian Ning had already walked in front of her.
"Give me a chance, okay?" Tian Ning looked at her deeply, "I have observed you for a week, and you live a carefree life every day. I know you don't care about me...but it doesn't matter."
He took a deep breath: "I will make you fall in love with me."
For some reason, his confident tone made Xia Xia feel a little angry when she was flustered. She turned her head and wanted to pull the door in silence, but Tian Ning grabbed her and wrapped her in the scrub Inside the white wall next to the glass.Through the gap in the glass, Xia Xia could see the moving figures in the hall, and this tense and ambiguous pose made her ears warm.
Tian Ning's eyes were on fire, but he was not as impulsive as before. He leaned over and whispered in her ear: "You resist me so much, are you afraid that one day you will fall in love with me?"
His low and magnetic tone contained a mature charm that Xia Xia had never noticed before. She seemed to have lost her heartbeat suddenly, and after her mind was blank, she screamed sharply, which made her unable to bear it any longer.
Completely out of instinct, she raised her knee again to prepare to attack, but this time Tian Ning was prepared and let go of her before she made the move.
She rushed to pull the door with red face, Tian Ning didn't stop her, but quietly said behind her: "One day you will understand that I am not as bad as you think."
The suspicion was thus confirmed.
This is the first time someone has blatantly pursued Xia Xia. She who always thought she was quite assertive suddenly lost her mind, so she could only go online and ask Xiaochun for help.
When Xiaochun heard that someone was chasing her, she first sent a grinning face: "This is a good thing, Xia Xia! Who is that person?"
"...my current boss."
"Ah?! Didn't I say, Guo Xiaxia, you really have a relationship with your boss! You fell in love with your boss before, and now you are in love with your boss, my God! TVB dramas are not as vulgar as you! "
"Oh, I'm very confused now, so don't mess with me! What should I do?"
"How about others?" Xiaochun quickly cut to the chase.
"Didn't I tell you before!"
"Oh—the guy who's bothering and cruel and feels so good about himself?"
"Yeah. And it's very fierce, yelling at me every now and then." Xia Xiali counted Tian Ning's various problems, and felt that it would be too much of a disadvantage for him to obey him so obediently.
After listening to her complaint, Xiaochun didn't give any feedback immediately, and pondered for a while.
Xia Xia now completely regards Xiaochun as a life-saving straw: "What's the matter, why don't you tell me!"
"According to the law of 'good bad bad bad good', this man is actually not bad."
"What's good or bad? What about your tongue twister?"
"A good person doesn't necessarily stop doing bad things, and a person who looks like a bad person doesn't necessarily mean he's not a good person." After Xiaochun typed quickly to explain, he cut to the point again, "Look, your current boss thinks you are not good. Just yell at you, think you are good, dare to ignore your stupidity and actively pursue you, this shows that he is a consistent man! Such a man is rare nowadays, how many people have honey belly swords, just bump into one at random, a woman In the end, I don’t even know how I died!”
"But he's still very caring."
"you saw it?"
"Not really. But there are a lot of rumors."
"Isn't there a saying that goes: A dog that bites doesn't bark? A flower in its mouth may not necessarily mean a flower in its heart."
"That sounds really awkward."
"It's useless for me to say so much, the key is what do you think, do you have feelings for him?"
Xia Xia twitched: "I can't tell. Every time I see him, my nerves immediately tense up. It's a conditioned reflex. When I think of him, it's all about him barking his teeth and claws and roaring at me."
Xiaochun wondered: "Then why did he fall in love with you? It sounds like you are not ordinary stupid!"
"Hey! It's not all my fault, okay! It's because he is too arrogant!"
"Oh, I understand. He belongs to 'Xiao Gong'. It's so easy to find you, a clumsy 'Xiao Shou'. He's like a fish in water, so he's reluctant to let go!"
"Lin Xiaochun! Can you be more serious!"
After Xiaochun finished his music, he typed another paragraph to her: "Have you noticed that the way you mentioned him is no longer what ordinary employees mean to their superiors? Ask yourself, do you still have a little respect for him?" Is it the respect of the subordinates?"
Xia Xia was dumbfounded.
"You two must be flirting a lot in normal times, right? I think you are actually quite a good match with him, at least better than you and Ye Yinfeng—but you have to make up your own mind whether to accept him or not. You are the only one who knows if you don’t like him. If you don’t understand now, don’t worry, calm down and think about it, sooner or later you will have the answer.”
But Xia Xia's heart could not calm down, every second was swaying, she felt that she was about to split.
On the one hand, she has to remind herself that Tian Ning is the boss, and she can't think wildly at work, but on the other hand, as long as Tian Ning's figure appears in her vision, she can't control the speed of her heartbeat, especially when his pair of When scorching eyes swept towards her.
During this period, apart from business affairs, Tian Ning rarely harassed her much, as if he wanted to give her time to think clearly.
Xia Xia is flustered every day, time waits for no one, passing by like a meteor, and it will be Tian Ning's mother's birthday in a blink of an eye.
The birthday banquet was scheduled to be at noon on Saturday, and when she got off work the next day, Tian Ning specifically asked Xia Xia: "I will pick you up at your home at ten o'clock tomorrow morning."
Xia Xia lowered her eyes and let out a soft "Oh", as if a little daughter-in-law was going to see her in-laws. If it was normal, Tian Ning would have to tease her again, but the current situation is special - any inappropriate words and deeds will be punished. It affected Xia Xia's overall evaluation of him, so he had to keep his mouth in check.
On Saturday, Xia Xia got up early in the morning, washed herself deliciously, and made a prudent choice in front of the closet, picking out a well-regulated skirt to put on.
At ten o'clock, Tian Ning called on time: "I'm downstairs, come down when you're ready."
"Oh, good!" Xia Xia hurried downstairs after answering the phone.
After getting in the car, Xia Xia noticed that Tian Ning had also dressed up. He was dressed in a new and crisp suit, matched with his tall figure and refreshing hairstyle, giving him a dashing and heroic demeanor.On weekdays, he always wears a half-worn suit, with a dusty look.
Xia Xia saw that he kept looking at her, and suddenly felt uneasy: "Isn't it ugly to wear this?"
"Well, the soil is a bit soiled, but my mother should like it, so that's it."
Xia Xia felt uncomfortable under his evaluation, tucking in the left sleeve for a while, and stretching the right skirt for a while, Tian Ning secretly laughed.
"When does the party start?"
"Eleven o'clock."
"Then, are we going too early?"
"Miss, it's my mother's birthday party, of course we have to arrive early."
"Oh." Xia Xia kept breathing and took a deep breath.
"Are you so nervous?"
"Never did a deceit."
Tian Ning smiled and said, "As long as you nod your head, once we confirm the relationship, it won't be considered a lie."
"I always think," Xia Xia said slowly, "If I nod my head, you'll have to sell me."
"..."
After parking the car in the hotel parking lot and walking out, Tian Ning saw her mother standing under the eaves outside the hotel looking out from a distance, and hurriedly grabbed Xia Xia's hand to hold it.
Xia Xia was taken aback, and quickly shook it hard, but instead of shaking it off, Tian Ning held it even tighter. Before she could scold her, Tian Ning put on a serious face and said seriously: "The plot needs it, my mother is watching!"
Mother Tian had sharp eyes, and she had seen her son walking over holding a girl's hand a long time ago. I fell in love with it at first sight.
Xia Xia was quite nervous at first, but when she came to the elders, the perfunctory skills she had practiced in childhood immediately came into use. She opened her mouth and called auntie sweetly, making Mama Tian nod her head in love.
"Mom! This is Guo Xiaxia, who works in the same company as me." Tian Ning had to introduce to both parties.
"Hey, good! Guo Xiaxia, what a nice name, and a good-looking person!" Tian's mother grabbed Xia Xia's hand and held it, "I will call you Xiaoxia from now on, okay?"
Xia Xia nodded with a smile.
When Tian's mother saw the "daughter-in-law-to-be", she didn't care about her birthday party anymore, she took Xia Xia's hand and introduced her to relatives and friends all the way, Tian Ning could only follow behind her.
When Xia Xia saw this battle, she couldn't help crying secretly. She thought it was just a joke, but Tian Ning's mother was so enthusiastic, the more she played, the more real she became.She simply wondered if Tian Ning had premeditated it.However, to be valued by so many people, and the praises are overflowing in her ears, she is inevitably a little bit elated.
At the beginning of the banquet, Xia Xia was arranged to sit beside Tian's mother, Tian Ning was next to her right, and sitting directly opposite her was Tian Jingyi, the chairman of Qunxin.Xia Xia's eyes didn't know where to look, her face was flushed all the time, and her mind was a little dizzy.
Tian Jingyi smiled and said: "Xiao Ning, I have no objection to you dating Xiao Guo. The only thing I worry about is that you two get along day and night, so don't delay your work."
Xia Xia blushed even more with embarrassment at this joke, fortunately there were no other newcomers at the birthday banquet except Tian Jingyi.
Mother Tian took advantage of the situation and said: "If you are really worried, just let Xiao Xia go to another department."
"That depends on what Xiao Guo means." Tian Jingyi looked at Xia Xia with a smile, "Which department are you more interested in?"
"I, I haven't thought about it yet." Xia Xia replied flustered.
Tian Jingyi said happily: "Look, look, he is still reluctant to part with Xiao Ning!"
Everyone at the table laughed, and Xia Xia lowered her head even more, wishing she could find a hole in the ground and get in.Tian Ning sneaked over her hand, grabbed her palm, and shook it firmly.She subconsciously turned to look at him, and met a pair of eyes full of tenderness.
At the banquet, Tian Jingyi had already changed the topic to the business classics, and the guests also turned their attention away from the two young people, Xia Xia secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
When talking about the market prospect, Tian Jingyi's tone was unavoidably heavy. On the contrary, Tian Ning said a lot to cheer him up. Tian Jingyi smiled and said: "My nephew, even though he is young, he can do it! He has been in the company for less than a year. How many orders have been grabbed for me. How else can I say that I am old, and those who make decisions timidly are not as courageous as Xiao Ning!"
Mother Tian immediately said: "Then you can't let him mess around, this kid sometimes has no sense!"
Tian Ning sighed: "It's a pity that I didn't sign Jiang Run's order." This was his most uncomfortable problem.
Tian Jingyi waved his hand: "Don't think so. Although the total amount of Jiang Run's project is high, the profits are squeezed out, and I heard that their internal struggle is fierce. Even if the contract is signed, it will be a big headache in the future! I still plan to It is safe, and it is better for sensitive customers to sign as little as possible.”
Tian Ning lowered his head and smiled, how could he fail to hear the comforting meaning in his uncle's words.
"I'm thinking, I'll retire in two years, and Xiao Ning will be the general manager. In the future, the world will still belong to young people."
Tian Jingyi has a daughter of her own who is still in college and her talents are mediocre. It will be difficult for her to take over his business in the future.He valued his nephew's talents and always hoped to use them for himself.
"Don't! Uncle," Tian Ning said hastily, "don't count on me. I'm not that ambitious. I'll be content with my business and living a small life."
Tian Jingyi said angrily: "Hey - how can a boy have no ambition!"
Mother Tian interjected with a smile: "You still don't know his temper, he's not calm for a moment, you're already very capable if you can call him back to help you do things. I don't care what he does anyway, as long as he is happy. Let’s talk about it later.”
Tian Jingyi shook his head at her: "Xiao Ning's temper is all because of your habit."
Xia Xia heard it interestingly, and actually had a good impression of Tian's mother's enlightenment in her heart. A mother who can respect her son's wishes should be regarded as a rare good mother.
The birthday banquet lasted for three hours. At the end, Tian’s mother forced a red envelope for Xia Xia: “Xiao Xia, I know you young people don’t like socializing with old men and women, so I’ll ask Tian Ning to give it to you first.” Go back. From now on, I will often come to eat with Tian Ning at home when I have nothing to do. I have some good dishes, and I can cook them better than the chef of the restaurant!"
"Mom, don't always take my dad's flattery to you as the truth, it's going to hurt you!" Tian Ning teased with a smile.
"Go! I know how to make fun of your mother!" Tian's mother pushed her son to Xia Xia's side, "You have to treat Xiao Xia well, if you dare to bully her, I will be the first to refuse!"
Tian Ning took Xia Xia's hand and waved at his mother: "Mom, don't be fooled by appearances. Xia Xia is not a vegetarian either. You'd better worry about your son!"
The two sides said goodbye with a smile, and as soon as they got out of the sight of all relatives and friends, Xia Xia immediately broke free from Tian Ning's palm.
Tian Ning muttered helplessly: "I haven't warmed my hands yet! You are too stingy!"
After getting in the car, Xia Xia handed the red envelope to Tian Ning: "You keep this."
"Why give it to me! My mother gave it to you. According to our rules here, things given by elders cannot be returned casually, which is unlucky."
Xia Xia had no choice but to withdraw her hand, opened it and counted it. There was so much a month's salary, and she became anxious again: "But your mother gave too much."
"Didn't you say it all, there will be a reward afterwards."
"But I thought the reward you were talking about was giving me a salary increase!" Xia Xia inadvertently said what was in her heart.
Tian Ning said happily: "Want to raise your salary? Then why didn't you tell uncle directly at the banquet just now?"
"That's your uncle! It's not my uncle!"
"Isn't he also your uncle in the future?"
"You!" Xia Xia was so angry that she hit him on the head with a red envelope, "Taking advantage of me again!"
"Hey, hey! Let's drive!" Tian Ning dodged happily, "Hurry up and put away the red envelope, my mother will be angry if you don't take her seriously, just see how much she likes you!"
Xia Xia thought of Tian's mother's enthusiasm and enthusiasm, and couldn't stop the warmth in her heart.
On a clear spring afternoon, the sun is shining.
Tian Ning stopped the car on the side of the road near Ronghu Lake, and turned his head to signal Xia Xia: "Go for a walk by the lake?"
Xia Xia glanced at the lake and mountains outside the window, and was immediately attracted, and nodded.
Ronghu Lake is one of the most famous sights in Sanjiang. There are large lawns, woods and an embankment about ten miles long by the lake.In the bright spring days, there are many tourists.
Xia Xia and Tian Ning walked along the embankment towards the depths of the scenic spot, and passed an arch bridge along the way. The two stopped on the bridge to enjoy the scenery. Looking down from a high place, they could have a panoramic view of the lake and mountains.
Tian Ning lay on the railing and said, "I haven't seen the scenery so leisurely in so many years."
Xia Xia wanted to imitate him and say a few poetic nonsense, but then he thought it was wrong: "Didn't you say that you have been wandering outside before coming to Qunxin? You still don't see much scenery?"
"I'm talking about looking at the scenery in a 'leisurely' way." Tian Ning turned his head and emphasized, "It doesn't matter where you look at the scenery, the important thing is to have a leisurely mood."
"It turns out that you can also chew on words."
"It's not just talking about words." Looking at the lush greenery in the distance, Tian Ning tapped his fingers rhythmically on the railing. "Leisure is not about idleness, but an attitude towards life."
Xia Xia was thoughtful: "So you just rejected your uncle's proposal?"
"Yeah! For me, work is work, just a means of earning a living. I don't want to dedicate all my time to work, but if you are a manager of a company, this kind of sacrifice is almost essential of."
Xia Xia looked at him curiously: "Then you don't want to earn more money?"
"How much money is enough? Look at my uncle, who is worth hundreds of millions, but his usual expenses are not much. He earns money to satisfy his desire to start a business and pursue the so-called sense of accomplishment. But that's not me. ideal."
Xia Xia felt that she really didn't understand Tian Ning before: "Then what is your ideal?"
"Enjoy life." Tian Ning turned around, turned his back to the railing, and stared at her with a lazy smile, "Also, marry a wife and have two children."
Xia Xia was looking at him with adoring eyes, and when he heard the ideal behind him, his eyes immediately turned vainly: "Is this considered an ideal? Most ordinary people can do it!"
"Life is very simple! It's just that too many people are eager to prove themselves, and instead put the most important things at the end. That's called sacrificing everything—and you, what is your ideal?"
Xia Xia was really caught by the question. When she was a child, she had many ideals and lofty ideals. As she grew older, her ideals continued to shrink.
"I don't have any ideals. I just hope that life will not be so stressful, that I can have enough food and clothing, and find a reliable person to marry in the future, and I will be very happy."
Tian Ning smiled meaningfully: "It seems that we are quite like-minded, why don't we just make do together."
Xia Xia couldn't help but condemn him: "Are you considered a reliable person? Dumping a girlfriend is as quick as throwing a ball of waste paper."
"Again for Han Qing's injustice?" Tian Ning snorted softly, "Who hasn't taken a detour, is it wrong to walk back after finding that he has taken a detour?"
"Then have you ever thought about her feelings? She went to find a new job because of you. "
"How can she support herself if she doesn't find a job? Is she gnawing on the old?"
Xia Xia choked for a moment.
"I admit that I am not good enough, so tell me, what kind of a good man do you think?"
"Anyway, I can't be bothered. I'm only good to one woman in my life."
"You have this idea, which in itself proves that you are quite naive."
Xia Xia became annoyed: "You mean, there are no careless men in the world?"
"I don't know, but what method are you going to use to test whether the other party is the kind of man you said? Can you tell at a glance whether he is a philanderer or not?"
Xia Xia was speechless again.
Tian Ning's expression became serious: "Actually, the reason why a man is bothered is because he has not found a woman he really likes. But there is always such a type of woman. Once they meet, they will never dare to mess around again, because they don't want her to be sad. .”
His eyes gradually became blurred, and he turned from the distant scenery, trying to catch Xia Xia's eyes: "Xia Xia, you belong to such a person."
Xia Xia's ears were suddenly hot, and her eye sockets were unbelievably moist. She turned her eyes suddenly to avoid Tian Ning's chasing gaze. The mist kept rising in front of her eyes. She couldn't help sniffling, but she was scolding herself in her heart. , It's really embarrassing.
Her sudden expression did not escape Tian Ning's eyes. He leaned over and naturally embraced Xia Xia in his arms.
"I was annoyed by Ye Yinfeng before, but not now, I should be grateful to him." He hugged her lightly, making her feel like she was in a gentle cradle, "I have to thank him for missing you and giving me the opportunity to know you... ...and fall in love with you."
Xia Xia's defense finally completely collapsed. Even if she "hates" Tian Ning in normal times, she still can't break free from his tenderness at the moment.Once a strong man disarms and surrenders, the shock to a woman is far greater than what she can bear.
In Tian Ning's arms, weeping and crying, she asked, "Is this... also a plot requirement?"
"No, I really do."
Xia Xia cried even harder.
"Let's...try?" Tian Ning's tone was still cautious.
Xia Xia sobbed and nodded, even if she might make another misjudgment or meet someone unkind, this moment is worth it.
Tian Ning pressed his forehead against hers, looked at the tear stains on her face, and smiled happily.
The news that Xia Xia and Tian Ning were in love spread like wildfire in Qunxin. Many people were shocked to the extreme, but they thought it was normal. As the saying goes, "It's not that enemies don't get together." Besides, the boss and the secretary get along day and night, and on the surface they are at war. , behind the scenes, maybe they have been secretly hiding their positions for a long time.
Wang Jing was well aware of how tense the relationship between Xia Xia and Tian Ning had been, so she was unavoidably suspicious of such news, so she took advantage of lunch time to ask Xia Xia specifically: "You and Mr. Tian, are you willing or not? Did he force you?"
When she mentioned this, Xia Xia really thought about it, no matter how she recalled the whole thing, it was mostly "forced".She was half a girlfriend with Wang Jing, and she didn't think it was shabby, so she told all about Tian Ning's tricking her into being a fake girlfriend.
"Wow!" Wang Jing was dumbfounded and shook her head, "Is Mr. Tian's trick a modern version of Tiger Wang?"
"Ahem!" Tian Ning's voice suddenly sounded beside the two of them, "Wang Jing, seeing how young you are, you have heard of such an antique drama as 'Wang Huo snatches a marriage'?"
Wang Jing was immediately blushed: "Mr. Tian, uh, it's... this story is my grandma's, cough, my grandma's favorite, I used to listen to her tell it when I was young."
Tian Ning was in a good mood, and instead of arguing with her, he turned his head and told Xia Xia, "I'll go out and come back before six o'clock. Don't rush away. Let's have dinner together tonight!"
"Got it." Xia Xia agreed with a smile.
As soon as Tian Ning left, Wang Jing took a deep breath and patted her chest. Her face returned to its previous rosy face, and she smacked her lips and sighed, "Mr. Tian is so domineering. He makes such a high-profile appointment! Xia Xia, do you feel that you are in the right place? Within the range of the stage lights?"
"Is there?" Xia Xia shrugged, "It doesn't matter if there is, anyway, I don't have the final say on this matter."
Wang Jing glared at her: "Hey! You can't be too servile! Be careful that Tian always pushes his nose and face."
Xia Xia couldn't hear it, and wanted to refute a few words to save face, but after thinking about it carefully, she said calmly: "You still need to be careful? Didn't he already push his nose on his face?"
"You...you are really hopeless."
It didn't take long to establish a relationship with Tian Ning. Xia Xia had dinner almost every night. She was either invited by Tian's mother to have dinner at Tian's house, or she and Tian Ning went out to eat.
Tian Ning also wanted to show her her culinary talent again in her small dwelling, but Xia Xia always found reasons to delay.
Now the relationship between the two can be said to be justified, and Tian Ning has even more reason to stay in her small shabby house and refuse to leave, but the lonely man and the widow live under the same roof, and she is afraid that Tian Ning will not be able to hold herself back sooner or later. Swallowed alive.
Xia Xia is not as stupid as Tian Ning thinks, she is actually smart, and she has no less little calculations in secret than other girls - even though she was moved by Tian Ning and nodded her head, psychologically, she still regards him as her boss There are many ingredients, and there are still a few steps away from being a lover, so I have to walk slowly, so as not to impulsively offer myself up as a sacrifice, and later find out that I don’t know people well and make myself regret it.
Therefore, going out to eat has become the best choice.
However, when dining out, he often meets acquaintances. God knows how Tian Ning knows so many people. It seems that there are not many people in Sanjiang who are not familiar with him.
Tian Ning is also generous. Every time a friend comes to strike up a conversation, he will recommend Xia Xia, lest others will not know.Xia Xia felt it was unnecessary, and complained afterwards: "Why do you introduce me to everyone? I have nothing to do with those people at all."
Tian Ning smirked: "Everyone knows that you are my girlfriend, so I won't dare to chase you casually in the future."
Xia Xia was amused by his joke, but she also felt warm in her heart.
Tian Ning loves Sichuan cuisine, and she often goes to a Sichuan restaurant with a good reputation in the urban area. The spicy chicken and pickled fish there are particularly mellow. Xia Xia doesn't like spicy food very much, but she likes to try these two dishes, even if After eating, I have to stick out my tongue and haggle awkwardly for a long time.
That night, Tian Ning mentioned to eat Sichuan cuisine again, Xia Xia responded immediately, and made a reservation in advance, so as not to have to wait in line when there were too many guests.But she called late, and all the good seats were taken, leaving them only a table by the stairs.
The two of them enjoyed the dinner quite happily. Tian Ningsheng had a mouth that could please girls, and during a meal, Xia Xia was teased several times, and he didn't care about how much food he ate.
Tian Ning complained to her while putting vegetables on her plate: "Don't patronize Shale, hurry up and eat!"
Xia Xia was facing the stairs. From time to time, guests came down from upstairs after dinner. She would occasionally glance at the guests who came down, but it was completely unconscious, and her thoughts were all on Tian Ning.
Therefore, when Ye Yinfeng and Qiu Wenxuan appeared in the field of vision, Xia Xia didn't pay attention at first. She was adding vinegar to the plate, her eyes casually glanced forward and then lowered her head, but soon, the familiar figure Suddenly surfaced from the depths of memory, Tian Ning's voice swayed far away, she seemed to fall into a dream, her hands shook, and vinegar spilled out.
Ye Yinfeng never looked sideways when walking, and went straight to the destination. On the contrary, Wen Xuan paid special attention to the surroundings, and was the first to see Xia Xia and Tian Ning.After a few seconds of surprise, she held Ye Yinfeng's arm with a little strength, and walked towards the two of them with a smile.Ye Yinfeng looked at her puzzled, then looked across, seeing Xia Xia and Tian Ning sitting at the same table, he felt a strange feeling in his heart.
How could Xia Xia's unnaturalness escape Tian Ning's eyes, she turned around and looked at it clearly, and hurriedly stood up and greeted Ye Yinfeng enthusiastically.
"Mr. Tian is really considerate of his subordinates. He even goes to restaurants for work meals after working overtime late." Ye Yinfeng joked with a smile, and he did a good job on the surface.
"Hi! Which company eats such a luxurious meal!" Tian Ning replied with a smile, "We paid for it ourselves! Oh, by the way, I have to introduce you again——Guo Xiaxia, my girlfriend!"
Wen Xuan looked at Xia Xia unexpectedly, then smiled and said, "Congratulations, Xia Xia."
Upon hearing this, Ye Yinfeng frowned subconsciously, and his smile was a little far-fetched: "When did it happen?"
"It's just that the relationship has just been revealed in the past few days. But it's been a while since they flirted!" Tian Ning laughed heartily after finishing speaking.
Xia Xiazheng was uncomfortable, listening to Tian Ning's nonsense, she couldn't help stretching her leg over, and stomped on him hard.Tian Ning quietly stepped aside, still smiling, "Have you finished eating or just arrived?"
Wen Xuan said: "I just finished eating, and I'm going to go back! There are so many customers here, it's a bit noisy."
"Sichuan cuisine! What you eat is the atmosphere."
Ye Yinfeng glanced at Xia Xia, but couldn't think of any suitable words for a while, Wen Xuan was already saying goodbye to them: "Then eat slowly, we will go first."
Xia Xia raised her head and nodded goodbye to them as if she was relieved.
When Tian Ning sat back in his seat, he showed a ferocious grin: "Why are you always so ruthless?"
"Who told you to talk nonsense?"
"Where am I talking nonsense." Tian Ning said forcefully, "If you are not interested in me, how could you agree to me as soon as I hooked you up? Go on the main road and see if you are willing to go with them if they strike up a conversation with you. ?”
Xia Xia gritted her teeth and twisted his arm forcefully: "Look at your nonsense!"
Tian Ning didn't hide either, and endured it, screaming miserably: "This little woman is too cruel!"
On the way back, Ye Yinfeng didn't say a word, and the silence in the car was almost eerie.
Wen Xuan suddenly smiled and said, "Have you noticed that Xia Xia and Tian Ning are more like a couple than us?"
Ye Yinfeng was feeling uncomfortable because of the sudden news. Hearing what Wen Xuan said, the scene of Xia Xia stomping on Tian Ning's toes appeared in front of him. Is it? Why didn't I think it was noisy, like two children. "
Wen Xuan wanted to say something, but the phone rang twice suddenly, she glanced at the screen, and quickly cut it off.
"Who's calling, why didn't you answer it?" Ye Yinfeng asked boredly.
"If you don't know, you may have made a wrong call. Recently, people have been making wrong calls."
Wen Xuan looked out the window, the car was still speeding on the overpass, she turned her head to look at Ye Yinfeng again, his face was tense, the lines were too sharp and angular, showing a bit of unnecessary stubbornness.
Wen Xuan unconsciously sighed, there is actually a stubborn child hidden in everyone's heart, brooding over things that he can't get, the so-called growing up is just a lie.
They didn't go home immediately, they had to go to Ye's house to pick up Xiaodong first.
After marriage, Ye Yinfeng was worried that his mother and Wenxuan would not get along, so he moved out to live with Wenxuan. The family of three went back to have a meal from time to time to bond with each other. Anyway, the homes of the two sides were not far away.
As expected, Mother Ye still disliked Wenxuan, and refused to talk to Wenxuan directly at the table, which made Wenxuan very embarrassed, but thinking about how difficult it was for her to agree to the marriage of the two at the beginning, it was a grievance to be a daughter-in-law I have to bear it no matter what.
Ye's mother liked Xiaodong very much, so Ye Yinfeng persuaded Wenxuan to entrust Xiaodong with her parents, and later even Ye's parents took care of the pick-up and drop-off work for the kindergarten.
Wen Xuan observed secretly and found that Mother Ye really loved Xiaodong, so she let them go with confidence.Because of this, she and Ye Yinfeng got a lot of time to spend together, which can be regarded as a little comfort in the troubled relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
The car parked downstairs at Ye's house, Wen Xuan said to Ye Yinfeng: "You go up alone, I will wait in the car."
Ye Yinfeng knew that she didn't want to see his mother's face, so he went upstairs without forcing it.
In the Ye family's living room, his mother was watching cartoons with Xiaodong.Hearing the sound of the lock being unlocked, Mother Ye's smiling face immediately disappeared, Liu Xiaodong sat alone on the sofa, and she went into the bedroom without saying a word. Seeing this, Father Ye could only shake his head secretly.
Ye Yinfeng came in and asked, "Where's my mother?"
Father Ye pushed his mouth into the room, Ye Yinfeng understood, and walked into his mother's room: "Mom! Did you go to bed so early?"
Mother Ye saw that he was the only one coming up, and wanted to ask Wen Xuan's whereabouts, but felt a little offended, so she got angry and didn't speak, and asked her son calmly, "Are you here to pick up Xiaodong?"
"Well. How was her supper?"
"I fed it. I ate a big bowl of rice and a lot of vegetables." When talking about the child, Mother Ye's spirits brightened.
Ye Yinfeng laughed and said, "Why are you feeding me again? Xiaodong is already this big."
"Go and see Xiaodong's cheeks and body. Is it fatter than when he first came here? How can a child be willing to eat well without being coaxed? If they are all left to them, all of them are ribs, just wait. Get sick twice in three days!" Ye Mu was quite dissatisfied with Wen Xuan's laissez-faire education.
"Okay," Ye Yinfeng calmed down, "You take the child with you, and I will just listen to you."
"Yinfeng," Mother Ye stared at him reproachfully, "When are you planning to have one?"
"Uh, Mom—you don't think it's enough to take care of Xiaodong!"
"No matter how good Xiaodong is, she is not the flesh and blood of the Ye family!"
"But we're just married, so you must give us some time."
Mother Ye raised her eyebrows: "Is it because Wen Xuan is not happy?"
"What's the matter!" Ye Yinfeng had a headache and had to comfort his mother, "I think it's too early to have a child now."
"What's the matter, you're already 32! Besides, you don't have to worry about having a baby. Just give birth and I will take care of you with your father!"
Ye Yinfeng didn't answer, just smiled with a good temper.
Mother Ye leaned against the bed discouraged: "You were the one who wanted to marry her back then, and I couldn't stop it, and I figured it out. What can I do after giving birth to such a stubborn son like you? Who told me to marry her?" It's on the table! You can marry whoever you like. Now, mother only has one request left, and she just wants to hold her own grandson as soon as possible. You won't even be willing to satisfy me with this?"
"Mom." Ye Yinfeng couldn't help feeling ashamed, thought for a while and said, "You let me think about it again."
Mother Ye sighed, stood up and shouted at him: "Okay, don't think about it here, go back quickly, don't look at your daughter-in-law's face again when it's late."
Ye Yinfeng carried Xiaodong downstairs, the car was parked at the entrance of the building, the lights were on inside, Wen Xuan was hanging her head down to talk to someone on the phone, a lock of long hair hanging down her forehead covered the expression on her face.
As he approached, Ye Yinfeng raised his hand and knocked on the glass to signal, Wen Xuan didn't pay attention, and suddenly looked up, with a mixture of panic and sharpness on his face, Ye Yinfeng was stunned when he saw it.
Seeing that it was her husband coming downstairs with the child in her arms, Wen Xuan's expression immediately eased, she quickly hung up the line, and opened the door for them.
"Did you come down so soon?" Her tone was unsteady, as if there was a shiver that was too late to clear away.
"Well, my mother is afraid that you will wait."
Ye Yinfeng put Xiaodong in the back seat, and Wenxuan also got off the passenger seat and sat in the back to accompany Xiaodong.
The car started slowly, but Ye Yinfeng was still suspicious: "Who did you call just now? It seems like someone is going to eat you."
"It's a liar." Wen Xuan has completely returned to normal. "Just now I was bored waiting for you in the car. When I saw a call coming in, I answered it. Who knew it was a scammer, and I regretted it."
"Oh."
Wenxuan kissed Xiaodong's forehead: "Are you good today?"
Xiaodong was playing with a paper crane, nodded: "Good."
"What's for dinner?"
"Fish, meat, rice, and many other dishes."
"Is grandpa and grandma treating you well?" Wen Xuan asked in a low voice, glancing at Ye Yinfeng's back.
Xiaodong nodded again, and raised the paper crane to his mother: "Grandpa folded it for me."
Since following the second elder of the Ye family, Xiaodong has become much more lively and talkative than before. This is what Wenxuan is most happy about. Otherwise, with her temper, she would definitely not want to dump her daughter to someone who is hostile to her. Ye mother's.
"Grandma still accompanied me to watch Xiaowanzi, but as soon as uncle came in, grandma went back to her room."
Ye Yinfeng straightened up unnaturally when he heard Xiaodong's "informant", Wenxuan knew it in her heart, she just smiled lightly, rubbed Xiaodong's hair, and hugged her daughter even tighter.
Xiaodong went to bed early, and soon after she got home her energy was listless. Wen Xuan helped her to sleep before closing the door and coming out. Ye Yinfeng was still on the computer in the study to handle business.
Wen Xuan walked over to give him a shoulder squeeze, the strength was just right, Ye Yinfeng patted the back of her hand to express his gratitude.
"Why are there so many things to do every day?" Wen Xuan felt sorry for her husband.
"No way, the customer doesn't care whether you rest or not, and whatever request you think of, you have to bring it up to us even in the middle of the night."
"Has Jiang Run's project started?"
"Well, it's just the beginning of these two days, and it's a bit chaotic."
Wen Xuan let go of his shoulders: "Then I won't bother you." She walked out and closed the door for him.
Ye Yinfeng replied to the email for a while, feeling thirsty, wanted to make a cup of tea, and just took the opportunity to get up and walk around.
There was only one wall lamp turned on in the living room, and the light was dim. He thought Wen Xuan had already fallen asleep, so he couldn't help walking on tiptoe.
Unexpectedly, when she entered the kitchen, she saw Wen Xuan standing in the dark, facing the window, with her hands resting on the countertop, she didn't know what she was thinking.
Ye Yinfeng stepped heavily: "Are you still asleep?"
His sudden voice startled Wen Xuan, she trembled slightly, and instinctively turned her head around, with the same expression as when she was in the car.
Ye Yinfeng frowned: "What's wrong with you these two days, are you surprised all of a sudden?"
"It's because you don't make any noise when you walk, and it scares me every time." Wen Xuan preemptively strikes, but her smile is weak, "Do you want some tea?"
"Yeah! Why don't you even turn on the lights?"
"I also wanted to drink something. I remembered something when I came here, but I forgot it for a while."
"Oh, what makes you think so preoccupied?"
Wen Xuan didn't speak, and was busy making tea.She took the teapot and teacups, and opened the cupboard door, and there were more than a dozen tins of tea, large and small.
She turned her head with a smile and asked, "Which one would you like to drink?"
Ye Yinfeng pointed to the outermost can: "Ceylon black tea - you haven't answered me yet!"
Wen Xuan smiled and said, "What else can I think about, of course I'm thinking about how to get along with your mother."
Ye Yinfeng also smiled: "It's easy to say."
Wen Xuan was surprised: "What's a simple way?"
"She wants us to give her a grandson."
Wen Xuan was stunned, and smiled helplessly: "Didn't we talk about it a long time ago, and we will talk about it a year later?"
"I'm fine, it's mainly my mother..."
Wen Xuan handed him a steaming cup of tea, her expression was a little sluggish: "Having a baby is not that simple, there are too many things to worry about, just thinking about it gives me a headache, and I feel very tired from Xiao Dong's body." Yes, so..."
Ye Yinfeng approached her, stretched out his hand to gently touch her cheek, smiled and comforted: "I didn't mean to force you, although my mother said so, but the decision is still in our hands."
Wen Xuan breathed a sigh of relief and felt relieved.She slowly leaned into Ye Yinfeng's arms, and hugged him gently: "Yinfeng, you are so kind."
Whenever this happens, Ye Yinfeng feels that his heart has also turned into a pool of water, softly rippling with shallow and clear ripples.
At night, Wen Xuan had nightmares, and whispered indiscriminately: "No, no, I don't..." But she couldn't explain clearly, as if someone had strangled her neck.
Ye Yinfeng was woken up by her, and hurriedly pushed her hard, shaking Wen Xuan awake.
Her forehead was covered with a layer of sweat, with tears hanging from the corners of her eyes, she looked very pitiful, Ye Yinfeng wiped her with a tissue: "Did you have a nightmare?"
Wenxuan suppressed the desire to cry, and nodded slowly: "I dreamed that someone wanted to kill me. I ran desperately in a woods. Then I remembered that there was Xiaodong, so I ran back quickly, but Xiaodong had already been caught by that person." ..." After speaking, she finally cried out, even though she was very restrained.
Ye Yinfeng hugged her distressedly, patted her back to comfort her, and asked after a while, "What about me? Where am I?"
"I do not know."
He sighed: "It turns out that I have no place in your heart at all."
"Nonsense." Wen Xuan's head came out of his arms, and the dream had drifted away. She woke up a lot, and there was a little smile on her face that was teased by Ye Yinfeng, "It's a good thing you didn't come to the dream , or I will add another point of worry."
"Why didn't you think that if I was by your side, at least I could help you get Xiaodong back."
Wen Xuan was silent for a moment, then chuckled: "Maybe in my heart, you are a child just like Xiaodong, you can't help much, but you always want me to worry about it."
Ye Yinfeng caressed her smooth hair: "Wenxuan, do you know? Actually, you are a very strong woman."
He discovered this within a few days after they got married. Wen Xuan was very assertive, she made up her mind on many things, and rarely bothered him.
Wen Xuan remained silent.
Ye Yinfeng groaned and enlightened her: "We are two people now, I am your husband, you can come to me when you are in trouble, you don't have to carry it secretly by yourself. Otherwise, why are you getting married!"
Perhaps because of the lingering fear from the dream, Wen Xuan didn't argue with him, but obediently got into his arms again, and nodded gently.
Ye Yinfeng waited for her to say something, he was almost sure that Wen Xuan had something on his mind, but after waiting for a long time, she didn't speak, just curled up in his arms, as quiet as a cat that just came home.
(End of this chapter)
The internal phone beeped, Xia Xia dashed across the office hall, and finally picked it up in time before the other party hung up.
The call came from the front desk: "Xia Xia, there is a lady who wants to see your boss."
"Uh, miss?" Xia Xia responded with a series of contemptuous empty words in her heart. I don't know which of Tian Ning's romantic debts came out again, "But Mr. Tian is not in the company today!"
"I said the same thing, but people don't believe it."
"Is she looking for Mr. Tian for something?"
"No, she insisted on meeting Mr. Tian." The tone of the front desk also had a hint of gossiping excitement, "She said her name was Han Qing."
"Oh—ah?" When Xia Xia heard that it was still an old debt, she paused and said, "You let her answer the phone, and I'll talk to her directly."
There was a flurry on the other end of the receiver, and then Han Qing's voice came over: "Miss Guo? I'm Han Qing. Is Tian Ning in the company?"
"Hello, Ms. Han, Mr. Tian is really not at the company today, and went to the customer's place."
"Then when will he come back?"
"I can't say for sure."
"Can you call me and ask?"
"This..." Xia Xia was really in trouble, but Han Qing's voice sounded pitiful, and she couldn't help but soften her heart, "That's fine, just wait!"
She dialed Tian Ning's number on her mobile phone, and the other party answered after several rings.
"What's the matter?" Tian Ning's voice was very low.
Xia Xia also lowered her voice involuntarily: "Mr. Tian, are you going back to the company today?"
"Not necessarily—are you okay?"
"Uh...no, nothing, just asking casually."
Tian Ning looked at his watch: "It may take another hour. You should be able to get back before five o'clock. Are you going to wait for me?"
"Huh? Oh, okay, okay!"
There was a smile in Tian Ning's voice: "I'll go back as soon as I'm done here."
As soon as she put down her phone, Xia Xia hurriedly reported to Han Qing: "He said he would be back around five o'clock."
"Then I'll wait for him here—thank you, Ms. Guo." Han Qing's nice voice was filled with gratitude, "I specially asked for half a day off today."
A quarter of an hour before five o'clock, Tian Ning came back excitedly, with a full smile on his face, Xia Xia observed his words and immediately felt relieved - if the client's negotiation did not go well, then Miss Han Qing would probably To be dragged down.
Han Qing went out of her way to find a job in order to reconnect with Tian Ning. Xia Xia felt that it was respectable for a girl to make changes for the one she loved. She was willing to give up the "deal" with Tian Ning for this. The matter of salary does not necessarily have a certain meaning, and besides, such a small matter of oneself is definitely not as important as other people's marriage.
"President Tian, there is a guest waiting to see you!"
Tian Ning restrained himself and looked at her with a smile, full of suspicion: "What guest?"
Xia Xia also teased him: "It's a girl, in meeting room 223, you'll know when you meet her."
Tian Ning couldn't catch any specific information from her face, so he frowned and threw the bag on her desk, before striding towards the meeting room.
Xia Xia secretly imagined Tian Ning's expression when he saw Han Qing for the first time, and Han Qing's excited rush, followed by a bleak and tactful confession, and then naturally reunited, and you're done!
She was moved by the plot she had written. Apart from this touch, there was also a trace of self-righteous greatness. Besides this greatness, there was another taste, which was faint and sour, and I couldn't find the exact words to describe it.
When Xia Xia was wondering about her weird feeling, the door of meeting room 223 was suddenly opened loudly, and Han Qing came out angrily, with her head held high, and she was still carrying her when she came upstairs. A paper bag to carry with you.Tian Ning also came out of the conference room slowly with an unpredictable and gloomy face, put a considerable distance from Han Qing, and walked towards the office at a leisurely pace.
Xia Xia stared in astonishment at Han Qing who passed by her without even looking at her. This tense situation was not a little bit different from the script in her mind.
"Guo Xiaxia, come in!"
Xia Xia shuddered immediately when she heard the sound. She was still in the mood of watching a play just now, but as time passed by, she became the tragic protagonist, just waiting to be drenched in blood.
As usual, close the door.
Afterwards, Xia Xia built up a strong line of defense in her heart "hey, hey, hey", hoping to resist Tian Ning's irrational roar.
Unexpectedly, Tian Ning stood facing the wall and remained silent for a long time.
Xia Xia couldn't figure out which song he was going to sing, so she thought about it, rather than passively being scolded, she would rather admit her mistake actively, at least it could give the other party some time to buffer her anger.
"Boss, this, Han Qing, oh, Ms. Han said she has found a job, you, you didn't think she was lazy before, so she asked me that... I just want to help her once... What do you do?" It is said that we have been in love for several years..."
Tian Ning turned around slowly, with an unexpectedly calm expression, mixed with a trace of solemnity: "Guo Xiaxia, give me a chance."
Xia Xia's script didn't include his lines at all, and the turning point was too strong. She had the illusion of stepping into the void: "What, what?"
When Xia Xia was in a daze, Tian Ning had already walked in front of her.
"Give me a chance, okay?" Tian Ning looked at her deeply, "I have observed you for a week, and you live a carefree life every day. I know you don't care about me...but it doesn't matter."
He took a deep breath: "I will make you fall in love with me."
For some reason, his confident tone made Xia Xia feel a little angry when she was flustered. She turned her head and wanted to pull the door in silence, but Tian Ning grabbed her and wrapped her in the scrub Inside the white wall next to the glass.Through the gap in the glass, Xia Xia could see the moving figures in the hall, and this tense and ambiguous pose made her ears warm.
Tian Ning's eyes were on fire, but he was not as impulsive as before. He leaned over and whispered in her ear: "You resist me so much, are you afraid that one day you will fall in love with me?"
His low and magnetic tone contained a mature charm that Xia Xia had never noticed before. She seemed to have lost her heartbeat suddenly, and after her mind was blank, she screamed sharply, which made her unable to bear it any longer.
Completely out of instinct, she raised her knee again to prepare to attack, but this time Tian Ning was prepared and let go of her before she made the move.
She rushed to pull the door with red face, Tian Ning didn't stop her, but quietly said behind her: "One day you will understand that I am not as bad as you think."
The suspicion was thus confirmed.
This is the first time someone has blatantly pursued Xia Xia. She who always thought she was quite assertive suddenly lost her mind, so she could only go online and ask Xiaochun for help.
When Xiaochun heard that someone was chasing her, she first sent a grinning face: "This is a good thing, Xia Xia! Who is that person?"
"...my current boss."
"Ah?! Didn't I say, Guo Xiaxia, you really have a relationship with your boss! You fell in love with your boss before, and now you are in love with your boss, my God! TVB dramas are not as vulgar as you! "
"Oh, I'm very confused now, so don't mess with me! What should I do?"
"How about others?" Xiaochun quickly cut to the chase.
"Didn't I tell you before!"
"Oh—the guy who's bothering and cruel and feels so good about himself?"
"Yeah. And it's very fierce, yelling at me every now and then." Xia Xiali counted Tian Ning's various problems, and felt that it would be too much of a disadvantage for him to obey him so obediently.
After listening to her complaint, Xiaochun didn't give any feedback immediately, and pondered for a while.
Xia Xia now completely regards Xiaochun as a life-saving straw: "What's the matter, why don't you tell me!"
"According to the law of 'good bad bad bad good', this man is actually not bad."
"What's good or bad? What about your tongue twister?"
"A good person doesn't necessarily stop doing bad things, and a person who looks like a bad person doesn't necessarily mean he's not a good person." After Xiaochun typed quickly to explain, he cut to the point again, "Look, your current boss thinks you are not good. Just yell at you, think you are good, dare to ignore your stupidity and actively pursue you, this shows that he is a consistent man! Such a man is rare nowadays, how many people have honey belly swords, just bump into one at random, a woman In the end, I don’t even know how I died!”
"But he's still very caring."
"you saw it?"
"Not really. But there are a lot of rumors."
"Isn't there a saying that goes: A dog that bites doesn't bark? A flower in its mouth may not necessarily mean a flower in its heart."
"That sounds really awkward."
"It's useless for me to say so much, the key is what do you think, do you have feelings for him?"
Xia Xia twitched: "I can't tell. Every time I see him, my nerves immediately tense up. It's a conditioned reflex. When I think of him, it's all about him barking his teeth and claws and roaring at me."
Xiaochun wondered: "Then why did he fall in love with you? It sounds like you are not ordinary stupid!"
"Hey! It's not all my fault, okay! It's because he is too arrogant!"
"Oh, I understand. He belongs to 'Xiao Gong'. It's so easy to find you, a clumsy 'Xiao Shou'. He's like a fish in water, so he's reluctant to let go!"
"Lin Xiaochun! Can you be more serious!"
After Xiaochun finished his music, he typed another paragraph to her: "Have you noticed that the way you mentioned him is no longer what ordinary employees mean to their superiors? Ask yourself, do you still have a little respect for him?" Is it the respect of the subordinates?"
Xia Xia was dumbfounded.
"You two must be flirting a lot in normal times, right? I think you are actually quite a good match with him, at least better than you and Ye Yinfeng—but you have to make up your own mind whether to accept him or not. You are the only one who knows if you don’t like him. If you don’t understand now, don’t worry, calm down and think about it, sooner or later you will have the answer.”
But Xia Xia's heart could not calm down, every second was swaying, she felt that she was about to split.
On the one hand, she has to remind herself that Tian Ning is the boss, and she can't think wildly at work, but on the other hand, as long as Tian Ning's figure appears in her vision, she can't control the speed of her heartbeat, especially when his pair of When scorching eyes swept towards her.
During this period, apart from business affairs, Tian Ning rarely harassed her much, as if he wanted to give her time to think clearly.
Xia Xia is flustered every day, time waits for no one, passing by like a meteor, and it will be Tian Ning's mother's birthday in a blink of an eye.
The birthday banquet was scheduled to be at noon on Saturday, and when she got off work the next day, Tian Ning specifically asked Xia Xia: "I will pick you up at your home at ten o'clock tomorrow morning."
Xia Xia lowered her eyes and let out a soft "Oh", as if a little daughter-in-law was going to see her in-laws. If it was normal, Tian Ning would have to tease her again, but the current situation is special - any inappropriate words and deeds will be punished. It affected Xia Xia's overall evaluation of him, so he had to keep his mouth in check.
On Saturday, Xia Xia got up early in the morning, washed herself deliciously, and made a prudent choice in front of the closet, picking out a well-regulated skirt to put on.
At ten o'clock, Tian Ning called on time: "I'm downstairs, come down when you're ready."
"Oh, good!" Xia Xia hurried downstairs after answering the phone.
After getting in the car, Xia Xia noticed that Tian Ning had also dressed up. He was dressed in a new and crisp suit, matched with his tall figure and refreshing hairstyle, giving him a dashing and heroic demeanor.On weekdays, he always wears a half-worn suit, with a dusty look.
Xia Xia saw that he kept looking at her, and suddenly felt uneasy: "Isn't it ugly to wear this?"
"Well, the soil is a bit soiled, but my mother should like it, so that's it."
Xia Xia felt uncomfortable under his evaluation, tucking in the left sleeve for a while, and stretching the right skirt for a while, Tian Ning secretly laughed.
"When does the party start?"
"Eleven o'clock."
"Then, are we going too early?"
"Miss, it's my mother's birthday party, of course we have to arrive early."
"Oh." Xia Xia kept breathing and took a deep breath.
"Are you so nervous?"
"Never did a deceit."
Tian Ning smiled and said, "As long as you nod your head, once we confirm the relationship, it won't be considered a lie."
"I always think," Xia Xia said slowly, "If I nod my head, you'll have to sell me."
"..."
After parking the car in the hotel parking lot and walking out, Tian Ning saw her mother standing under the eaves outside the hotel looking out from a distance, and hurriedly grabbed Xia Xia's hand to hold it.
Xia Xia was taken aback, and quickly shook it hard, but instead of shaking it off, Tian Ning held it even tighter. Before she could scold her, Tian Ning put on a serious face and said seriously: "The plot needs it, my mother is watching!"
Mother Tian had sharp eyes, and she had seen her son walking over holding a girl's hand a long time ago. I fell in love with it at first sight.
Xia Xia was quite nervous at first, but when she came to the elders, the perfunctory skills she had practiced in childhood immediately came into use. She opened her mouth and called auntie sweetly, making Mama Tian nod her head in love.
"Mom! This is Guo Xiaxia, who works in the same company as me." Tian Ning had to introduce to both parties.
"Hey, good! Guo Xiaxia, what a nice name, and a good-looking person!" Tian's mother grabbed Xia Xia's hand and held it, "I will call you Xiaoxia from now on, okay?"
Xia Xia nodded with a smile.
When Tian's mother saw the "daughter-in-law-to-be", she didn't care about her birthday party anymore, she took Xia Xia's hand and introduced her to relatives and friends all the way, Tian Ning could only follow behind her.
When Xia Xia saw this battle, she couldn't help crying secretly. She thought it was just a joke, but Tian Ning's mother was so enthusiastic, the more she played, the more real she became.She simply wondered if Tian Ning had premeditated it.However, to be valued by so many people, and the praises are overflowing in her ears, she is inevitably a little bit elated.
At the beginning of the banquet, Xia Xia was arranged to sit beside Tian's mother, Tian Ning was next to her right, and sitting directly opposite her was Tian Jingyi, the chairman of Qunxin.Xia Xia's eyes didn't know where to look, her face was flushed all the time, and her mind was a little dizzy.
Tian Jingyi smiled and said: "Xiao Ning, I have no objection to you dating Xiao Guo. The only thing I worry about is that you two get along day and night, so don't delay your work."
Xia Xia blushed even more with embarrassment at this joke, fortunately there were no other newcomers at the birthday banquet except Tian Jingyi.
Mother Tian took advantage of the situation and said: "If you are really worried, just let Xiao Xia go to another department."
"That depends on what Xiao Guo means." Tian Jingyi looked at Xia Xia with a smile, "Which department are you more interested in?"
"I, I haven't thought about it yet." Xia Xia replied flustered.
Tian Jingyi said happily: "Look, look, he is still reluctant to part with Xiao Ning!"
Everyone at the table laughed, and Xia Xia lowered her head even more, wishing she could find a hole in the ground and get in.Tian Ning sneaked over her hand, grabbed her palm, and shook it firmly.She subconsciously turned to look at him, and met a pair of eyes full of tenderness.
At the banquet, Tian Jingyi had already changed the topic to the business classics, and the guests also turned their attention away from the two young people, Xia Xia secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
When talking about the market prospect, Tian Jingyi's tone was unavoidably heavy. On the contrary, Tian Ning said a lot to cheer him up. Tian Jingyi smiled and said: "My nephew, even though he is young, he can do it! He has been in the company for less than a year. How many orders have been grabbed for me. How else can I say that I am old, and those who make decisions timidly are not as courageous as Xiao Ning!"
Mother Tian immediately said: "Then you can't let him mess around, this kid sometimes has no sense!"
Tian Ning sighed: "It's a pity that I didn't sign Jiang Run's order." This was his most uncomfortable problem.
Tian Jingyi waved his hand: "Don't think so. Although the total amount of Jiang Run's project is high, the profits are squeezed out, and I heard that their internal struggle is fierce. Even if the contract is signed, it will be a big headache in the future! I still plan to It is safe, and it is better for sensitive customers to sign as little as possible.”
Tian Ning lowered his head and smiled, how could he fail to hear the comforting meaning in his uncle's words.
"I'm thinking, I'll retire in two years, and Xiao Ning will be the general manager. In the future, the world will still belong to young people."
Tian Jingyi has a daughter of her own who is still in college and her talents are mediocre. It will be difficult for her to take over his business in the future.He valued his nephew's talents and always hoped to use them for himself.
"Don't! Uncle," Tian Ning said hastily, "don't count on me. I'm not that ambitious. I'll be content with my business and living a small life."
Tian Jingyi said angrily: "Hey - how can a boy have no ambition!"
Mother Tian interjected with a smile: "You still don't know his temper, he's not calm for a moment, you're already very capable if you can call him back to help you do things. I don't care what he does anyway, as long as he is happy. Let’s talk about it later.”
Tian Jingyi shook his head at her: "Xiao Ning's temper is all because of your habit."
Xia Xia heard it interestingly, and actually had a good impression of Tian's mother's enlightenment in her heart. A mother who can respect her son's wishes should be regarded as a rare good mother.
The birthday banquet lasted for three hours. At the end, Tian’s mother forced a red envelope for Xia Xia: “Xiao Xia, I know you young people don’t like socializing with old men and women, so I’ll ask Tian Ning to give it to you first.” Go back. From now on, I will often come to eat with Tian Ning at home when I have nothing to do. I have some good dishes, and I can cook them better than the chef of the restaurant!"
"Mom, don't always take my dad's flattery to you as the truth, it's going to hurt you!" Tian Ning teased with a smile.
"Go! I know how to make fun of your mother!" Tian's mother pushed her son to Xia Xia's side, "You have to treat Xiao Xia well, if you dare to bully her, I will be the first to refuse!"
Tian Ning took Xia Xia's hand and waved at his mother: "Mom, don't be fooled by appearances. Xia Xia is not a vegetarian either. You'd better worry about your son!"
The two sides said goodbye with a smile, and as soon as they got out of the sight of all relatives and friends, Xia Xia immediately broke free from Tian Ning's palm.
Tian Ning muttered helplessly: "I haven't warmed my hands yet! You are too stingy!"
After getting in the car, Xia Xia handed the red envelope to Tian Ning: "You keep this."
"Why give it to me! My mother gave it to you. According to our rules here, things given by elders cannot be returned casually, which is unlucky."
Xia Xia had no choice but to withdraw her hand, opened it and counted it. There was so much a month's salary, and she became anxious again: "But your mother gave too much."
"Didn't you say it all, there will be a reward afterwards."
"But I thought the reward you were talking about was giving me a salary increase!" Xia Xia inadvertently said what was in her heart.
Tian Ning said happily: "Want to raise your salary? Then why didn't you tell uncle directly at the banquet just now?"
"That's your uncle! It's not my uncle!"
"Isn't he also your uncle in the future?"
"You!" Xia Xia was so angry that she hit him on the head with a red envelope, "Taking advantage of me again!"
"Hey, hey! Let's drive!" Tian Ning dodged happily, "Hurry up and put away the red envelope, my mother will be angry if you don't take her seriously, just see how much she likes you!"
Xia Xia thought of Tian's mother's enthusiasm and enthusiasm, and couldn't stop the warmth in her heart.
On a clear spring afternoon, the sun is shining.
Tian Ning stopped the car on the side of the road near Ronghu Lake, and turned his head to signal Xia Xia: "Go for a walk by the lake?"
Xia Xia glanced at the lake and mountains outside the window, and was immediately attracted, and nodded.
Ronghu Lake is one of the most famous sights in Sanjiang. There are large lawns, woods and an embankment about ten miles long by the lake.In the bright spring days, there are many tourists.
Xia Xia and Tian Ning walked along the embankment towards the depths of the scenic spot, and passed an arch bridge along the way. The two stopped on the bridge to enjoy the scenery. Looking down from a high place, they could have a panoramic view of the lake and mountains.
Tian Ning lay on the railing and said, "I haven't seen the scenery so leisurely in so many years."
Xia Xia wanted to imitate him and say a few poetic nonsense, but then he thought it was wrong: "Didn't you say that you have been wandering outside before coming to Qunxin? You still don't see much scenery?"
"I'm talking about looking at the scenery in a 'leisurely' way." Tian Ning turned his head and emphasized, "It doesn't matter where you look at the scenery, the important thing is to have a leisurely mood."
"It turns out that you can also chew on words."
"It's not just talking about words." Looking at the lush greenery in the distance, Tian Ning tapped his fingers rhythmically on the railing. "Leisure is not about idleness, but an attitude towards life."
Xia Xia was thoughtful: "So you just rejected your uncle's proposal?"
"Yeah! For me, work is work, just a means of earning a living. I don't want to dedicate all my time to work, but if you are a manager of a company, this kind of sacrifice is almost essential of."
Xia Xia looked at him curiously: "Then you don't want to earn more money?"
"How much money is enough? Look at my uncle, who is worth hundreds of millions, but his usual expenses are not much. He earns money to satisfy his desire to start a business and pursue the so-called sense of accomplishment. But that's not me. ideal."
Xia Xia felt that she really didn't understand Tian Ning before: "Then what is your ideal?"
"Enjoy life." Tian Ning turned around, turned his back to the railing, and stared at her with a lazy smile, "Also, marry a wife and have two children."
Xia Xia was looking at him with adoring eyes, and when he heard the ideal behind him, his eyes immediately turned vainly: "Is this considered an ideal? Most ordinary people can do it!"
"Life is very simple! It's just that too many people are eager to prove themselves, and instead put the most important things at the end. That's called sacrificing everything—and you, what is your ideal?"
Xia Xia was really caught by the question. When she was a child, she had many ideals and lofty ideals. As she grew older, her ideals continued to shrink.
"I don't have any ideals. I just hope that life will not be so stressful, that I can have enough food and clothing, and find a reliable person to marry in the future, and I will be very happy."
Tian Ning smiled meaningfully: "It seems that we are quite like-minded, why don't we just make do together."
Xia Xia couldn't help but condemn him: "Are you considered a reliable person? Dumping a girlfriend is as quick as throwing a ball of waste paper."
"Again for Han Qing's injustice?" Tian Ning snorted softly, "Who hasn't taken a detour, is it wrong to walk back after finding that he has taken a detour?"
"Then have you ever thought about her feelings? She went to find a new job because of you. "
"How can she support herself if she doesn't find a job? Is she gnawing on the old?"
Xia Xia choked for a moment.
"I admit that I am not good enough, so tell me, what kind of a good man do you think?"
"Anyway, I can't be bothered. I'm only good to one woman in my life."
"You have this idea, which in itself proves that you are quite naive."
Xia Xia became annoyed: "You mean, there are no careless men in the world?"
"I don't know, but what method are you going to use to test whether the other party is the kind of man you said? Can you tell at a glance whether he is a philanderer or not?"
Xia Xia was speechless again.
Tian Ning's expression became serious: "Actually, the reason why a man is bothered is because he has not found a woman he really likes. But there is always such a type of woman. Once they meet, they will never dare to mess around again, because they don't want her to be sad. .”
His eyes gradually became blurred, and he turned from the distant scenery, trying to catch Xia Xia's eyes: "Xia Xia, you belong to such a person."
Xia Xia's ears were suddenly hot, and her eye sockets were unbelievably moist. She turned her eyes suddenly to avoid Tian Ning's chasing gaze. The mist kept rising in front of her eyes. She couldn't help sniffling, but she was scolding herself in her heart. , It's really embarrassing.
Her sudden expression did not escape Tian Ning's eyes. He leaned over and naturally embraced Xia Xia in his arms.
"I was annoyed by Ye Yinfeng before, but not now, I should be grateful to him." He hugged her lightly, making her feel like she was in a gentle cradle, "I have to thank him for missing you and giving me the opportunity to know you... ...and fall in love with you."
Xia Xia's defense finally completely collapsed. Even if she "hates" Tian Ning in normal times, she still can't break free from his tenderness at the moment.Once a strong man disarms and surrenders, the shock to a woman is far greater than what she can bear.
In Tian Ning's arms, weeping and crying, she asked, "Is this... also a plot requirement?"
"No, I really do."
Xia Xia cried even harder.
"Let's...try?" Tian Ning's tone was still cautious.
Xia Xia sobbed and nodded, even if she might make another misjudgment or meet someone unkind, this moment is worth it.
Tian Ning pressed his forehead against hers, looked at the tear stains on her face, and smiled happily.
The news that Xia Xia and Tian Ning were in love spread like wildfire in Qunxin. Many people were shocked to the extreme, but they thought it was normal. As the saying goes, "It's not that enemies don't get together." Besides, the boss and the secretary get along day and night, and on the surface they are at war. , behind the scenes, maybe they have been secretly hiding their positions for a long time.
Wang Jing was well aware of how tense the relationship between Xia Xia and Tian Ning had been, so she was unavoidably suspicious of such news, so she took advantage of lunch time to ask Xia Xia specifically: "You and Mr. Tian, are you willing or not? Did he force you?"
When she mentioned this, Xia Xia really thought about it, no matter how she recalled the whole thing, it was mostly "forced".She was half a girlfriend with Wang Jing, and she didn't think it was shabby, so she told all about Tian Ning's tricking her into being a fake girlfriend.
"Wow!" Wang Jing was dumbfounded and shook her head, "Is Mr. Tian's trick a modern version of Tiger Wang?"
"Ahem!" Tian Ning's voice suddenly sounded beside the two of them, "Wang Jing, seeing how young you are, you have heard of such an antique drama as 'Wang Huo snatches a marriage'?"
Wang Jing was immediately blushed: "Mr. Tian, uh, it's... this story is my grandma's, cough, my grandma's favorite, I used to listen to her tell it when I was young."
Tian Ning was in a good mood, and instead of arguing with her, he turned his head and told Xia Xia, "I'll go out and come back before six o'clock. Don't rush away. Let's have dinner together tonight!"
"Got it." Xia Xia agreed with a smile.
As soon as Tian Ning left, Wang Jing took a deep breath and patted her chest. Her face returned to its previous rosy face, and she smacked her lips and sighed, "Mr. Tian is so domineering. He makes such a high-profile appointment! Xia Xia, do you feel that you are in the right place? Within the range of the stage lights?"
"Is there?" Xia Xia shrugged, "It doesn't matter if there is, anyway, I don't have the final say on this matter."
Wang Jing glared at her: "Hey! You can't be too servile! Be careful that Tian always pushes his nose and face."
Xia Xia couldn't hear it, and wanted to refute a few words to save face, but after thinking about it carefully, she said calmly: "You still need to be careful? Didn't he already push his nose on his face?"
"You...you are really hopeless."
It didn't take long to establish a relationship with Tian Ning. Xia Xia had dinner almost every night. She was either invited by Tian's mother to have dinner at Tian's house, or she and Tian Ning went out to eat.
Tian Ning also wanted to show her her culinary talent again in her small dwelling, but Xia Xia always found reasons to delay.
Now the relationship between the two can be said to be justified, and Tian Ning has even more reason to stay in her small shabby house and refuse to leave, but the lonely man and the widow live under the same roof, and she is afraid that Tian Ning will not be able to hold herself back sooner or later. Swallowed alive.
Xia Xia is not as stupid as Tian Ning thinks, she is actually smart, and she has no less little calculations in secret than other girls - even though she was moved by Tian Ning and nodded her head, psychologically, she still regards him as her boss There are many ingredients, and there are still a few steps away from being a lover, so I have to walk slowly, so as not to impulsively offer myself up as a sacrifice, and later find out that I don’t know people well and make myself regret it.
Therefore, going out to eat has become the best choice.
However, when dining out, he often meets acquaintances. God knows how Tian Ning knows so many people. It seems that there are not many people in Sanjiang who are not familiar with him.
Tian Ning is also generous. Every time a friend comes to strike up a conversation, he will recommend Xia Xia, lest others will not know.Xia Xia felt it was unnecessary, and complained afterwards: "Why do you introduce me to everyone? I have nothing to do with those people at all."
Tian Ning smirked: "Everyone knows that you are my girlfriend, so I won't dare to chase you casually in the future."
Xia Xia was amused by his joke, but she also felt warm in her heart.
Tian Ning loves Sichuan cuisine, and she often goes to a Sichuan restaurant with a good reputation in the urban area. The spicy chicken and pickled fish there are particularly mellow. Xia Xia doesn't like spicy food very much, but she likes to try these two dishes, even if After eating, I have to stick out my tongue and haggle awkwardly for a long time.
That night, Tian Ning mentioned to eat Sichuan cuisine again, Xia Xia responded immediately, and made a reservation in advance, so as not to have to wait in line when there were too many guests.But she called late, and all the good seats were taken, leaving them only a table by the stairs.
The two of them enjoyed the dinner quite happily. Tian Ningsheng had a mouth that could please girls, and during a meal, Xia Xia was teased several times, and he didn't care about how much food he ate.
Tian Ning complained to her while putting vegetables on her plate: "Don't patronize Shale, hurry up and eat!"
Xia Xia was facing the stairs. From time to time, guests came down from upstairs after dinner. She would occasionally glance at the guests who came down, but it was completely unconscious, and her thoughts were all on Tian Ning.
Therefore, when Ye Yinfeng and Qiu Wenxuan appeared in the field of vision, Xia Xia didn't pay attention at first. She was adding vinegar to the plate, her eyes casually glanced forward and then lowered her head, but soon, the familiar figure Suddenly surfaced from the depths of memory, Tian Ning's voice swayed far away, she seemed to fall into a dream, her hands shook, and vinegar spilled out.
Ye Yinfeng never looked sideways when walking, and went straight to the destination. On the contrary, Wen Xuan paid special attention to the surroundings, and was the first to see Xia Xia and Tian Ning.After a few seconds of surprise, she held Ye Yinfeng's arm with a little strength, and walked towards the two of them with a smile.Ye Yinfeng looked at her puzzled, then looked across, seeing Xia Xia and Tian Ning sitting at the same table, he felt a strange feeling in his heart.
How could Xia Xia's unnaturalness escape Tian Ning's eyes, she turned around and looked at it clearly, and hurriedly stood up and greeted Ye Yinfeng enthusiastically.
"Mr. Tian is really considerate of his subordinates. He even goes to restaurants for work meals after working overtime late." Ye Yinfeng joked with a smile, and he did a good job on the surface.
"Hi! Which company eats such a luxurious meal!" Tian Ning replied with a smile, "We paid for it ourselves! Oh, by the way, I have to introduce you again——Guo Xiaxia, my girlfriend!"
Wen Xuan looked at Xia Xia unexpectedly, then smiled and said, "Congratulations, Xia Xia."
Upon hearing this, Ye Yinfeng frowned subconsciously, and his smile was a little far-fetched: "When did it happen?"
"It's just that the relationship has just been revealed in the past few days. But it's been a while since they flirted!" Tian Ning laughed heartily after finishing speaking.
Xia Xiazheng was uncomfortable, listening to Tian Ning's nonsense, she couldn't help stretching her leg over, and stomped on him hard.Tian Ning quietly stepped aside, still smiling, "Have you finished eating or just arrived?"
Wen Xuan said: "I just finished eating, and I'm going to go back! There are so many customers here, it's a bit noisy."
"Sichuan cuisine! What you eat is the atmosphere."
Ye Yinfeng glanced at Xia Xia, but couldn't think of any suitable words for a while, Wen Xuan was already saying goodbye to them: "Then eat slowly, we will go first."
Xia Xia raised her head and nodded goodbye to them as if she was relieved.
When Tian Ning sat back in his seat, he showed a ferocious grin: "Why are you always so ruthless?"
"Who told you to talk nonsense?"
"Where am I talking nonsense." Tian Ning said forcefully, "If you are not interested in me, how could you agree to me as soon as I hooked you up? Go on the main road and see if you are willing to go with them if they strike up a conversation with you. ?”
Xia Xia gritted her teeth and twisted his arm forcefully: "Look at your nonsense!"
Tian Ning didn't hide either, and endured it, screaming miserably: "This little woman is too cruel!"
On the way back, Ye Yinfeng didn't say a word, and the silence in the car was almost eerie.
Wen Xuan suddenly smiled and said, "Have you noticed that Xia Xia and Tian Ning are more like a couple than us?"
Ye Yinfeng was feeling uncomfortable because of the sudden news. Hearing what Wen Xuan said, the scene of Xia Xia stomping on Tian Ning's toes appeared in front of him. Is it? Why didn't I think it was noisy, like two children. "
Wen Xuan wanted to say something, but the phone rang twice suddenly, she glanced at the screen, and quickly cut it off.
"Who's calling, why didn't you answer it?" Ye Yinfeng asked boredly.
"If you don't know, you may have made a wrong call. Recently, people have been making wrong calls."
Wen Xuan looked out the window, the car was still speeding on the overpass, she turned her head to look at Ye Yinfeng again, his face was tense, the lines were too sharp and angular, showing a bit of unnecessary stubbornness.
Wen Xuan unconsciously sighed, there is actually a stubborn child hidden in everyone's heart, brooding over things that he can't get, the so-called growing up is just a lie.
They didn't go home immediately, they had to go to Ye's house to pick up Xiaodong first.
After marriage, Ye Yinfeng was worried that his mother and Wenxuan would not get along, so he moved out to live with Wenxuan. The family of three went back to have a meal from time to time to bond with each other. Anyway, the homes of the two sides were not far away.
As expected, Mother Ye still disliked Wenxuan, and refused to talk to Wenxuan directly at the table, which made Wenxuan very embarrassed, but thinking about how difficult it was for her to agree to the marriage of the two at the beginning, it was a grievance to be a daughter-in-law I have to bear it no matter what.
Ye's mother liked Xiaodong very much, so Ye Yinfeng persuaded Wenxuan to entrust Xiaodong with her parents, and later even Ye's parents took care of the pick-up and drop-off work for the kindergarten.
Wen Xuan observed secretly and found that Mother Ye really loved Xiaodong, so she let them go with confidence.Because of this, she and Ye Yinfeng got a lot of time to spend together, which can be regarded as a little comfort in the troubled relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
The car parked downstairs at Ye's house, Wen Xuan said to Ye Yinfeng: "You go up alone, I will wait in the car."
Ye Yinfeng knew that she didn't want to see his mother's face, so he went upstairs without forcing it.
In the Ye family's living room, his mother was watching cartoons with Xiaodong.Hearing the sound of the lock being unlocked, Mother Ye's smiling face immediately disappeared, Liu Xiaodong sat alone on the sofa, and she went into the bedroom without saying a word. Seeing this, Father Ye could only shake his head secretly.
Ye Yinfeng came in and asked, "Where's my mother?"
Father Ye pushed his mouth into the room, Ye Yinfeng understood, and walked into his mother's room: "Mom! Did you go to bed so early?"
Mother Ye saw that he was the only one coming up, and wanted to ask Wen Xuan's whereabouts, but felt a little offended, so she got angry and didn't speak, and asked her son calmly, "Are you here to pick up Xiaodong?"
"Well. How was her supper?"
"I fed it. I ate a big bowl of rice and a lot of vegetables." When talking about the child, Mother Ye's spirits brightened.
Ye Yinfeng laughed and said, "Why are you feeding me again? Xiaodong is already this big."
"Go and see Xiaodong's cheeks and body. Is it fatter than when he first came here? How can a child be willing to eat well without being coaxed? If they are all left to them, all of them are ribs, just wait. Get sick twice in three days!" Ye Mu was quite dissatisfied with Wen Xuan's laissez-faire education.
"Okay," Ye Yinfeng calmed down, "You take the child with you, and I will just listen to you."
"Yinfeng," Mother Ye stared at him reproachfully, "When are you planning to have one?"
"Uh, Mom—you don't think it's enough to take care of Xiaodong!"
"No matter how good Xiaodong is, she is not the flesh and blood of the Ye family!"
"But we're just married, so you must give us some time."
Mother Ye raised her eyebrows: "Is it because Wen Xuan is not happy?"
"What's the matter!" Ye Yinfeng had a headache and had to comfort his mother, "I think it's too early to have a child now."
"What's the matter, you're already 32! Besides, you don't have to worry about having a baby. Just give birth and I will take care of you with your father!"
Ye Yinfeng didn't answer, just smiled with a good temper.
Mother Ye leaned against the bed discouraged: "You were the one who wanted to marry her back then, and I couldn't stop it, and I figured it out. What can I do after giving birth to such a stubborn son like you? Who told me to marry her?" It's on the table! You can marry whoever you like. Now, mother only has one request left, and she just wants to hold her own grandson as soon as possible. You won't even be willing to satisfy me with this?"
"Mom." Ye Yinfeng couldn't help feeling ashamed, thought for a while and said, "You let me think about it again."
Mother Ye sighed, stood up and shouted at him: "Okay, don't think about it here, go back quickly, don't look at your daughter-in-law's face again when it's late."
Ye Yinfeng carried Xiaodong downstairs, the car was parked at the entrance of the building, the lights were on inside, Wen Xuan was hanging her head down to talk to someone on the phone, a lock of long hair hanging down her forehead covered the expression on her face.
As he approached, Ye Yinfeng raised his hand and knocked on the glass to signal, Wen Xuan didn't pay attention, and suddenly looked up, with a mixture of panic and sharpness on his face, Ye Yinfeng was stunned when he saw it.
Seeing that it was her husband coming downstairs with the child in her arms, Wen Xuan's expression immediately eased, she quickly hung up the line, and opened the door for them.
"Did you come down so soon?" Her tone was unsteady, as if there was a shiver that was too late to clear away.
"Well, my mother is afraid that you will wait."
Ye Yinfeng put Xiaodong in the back seat, and Wenxuan also got off the passenger seat and sat in the back to accompany Xiaodong.
The car started slowly, but Ye Yinfeng was still suspicious: "Who did you call just now? It seems like someone is going to eat you."
"It's a liar." Wen Xuan has completely returned to normal. "Just now I was bored waiting for you in the car. When I saw a call coming in, I answered it. Who knew it was a scammer, and I regretted it."
"Oh."
Wenxuan kissed Xiaodong's forehead: "Are you good today?"
Xiaodong was playing with a paper crane, nodded: "Good."
"What's for dinner?"
"Fish, meat, rice, and many other dishes."
"Is grandpa and grandma treating you well?" Wen Xuan asked in a low voice, glancing at Ye Yinfeng's back.
Xiaodong nodded again, and raised the paper crane to his mother: "Grandpa folded it for me."
Since following the second elder of the Ye family, Xiaodong has become much more lively and talkative than before. This is what Wenxuan is most happy about. Otherwise, with her temper, she would definitely not want to dump her daughter to someone who is hostile to her. Ye mother's.
"Grandma still accompanied me to watch Xiaowanzi, but as soon as uncle came in, grandma went back to her room."
Ye Yinfeng straightened up unnaturally when he heard Xiaodong's "informant", Wenxuan knew it in her heart, she just smiled lightly, rubbed Xiaodong's hair, and hugged her daughter even tighter.
Xiaodong went to bed early, and soon after she got home her energy was listless. Wen Xuan helped her to sleep before closing the door and coming out. Ye Yinfeng was still on the computer in the study to handle business.
Wen Xuan walked over to give him a shoulder squeeze, the strength was just right, Ye Yinfeng patted the back of her hand to express his gratitude.
"Why are there so many things to do every day?" Wen Xuan felt sorry for her husband.
"No way, the customer doesn't care whether you rest or not, and whatever request you think of, you have to bring it up to us even in the middle of the night."
"Has Jiang Run's project started?"
"Well, it's just the beginning of these two days, and it's a bit chaotic."
Wen Xuan let go of his shoulders: "Then I won't bother you." She walked out and closed the door for him.
Ye Yinfeng replied to the email for a while, feeling thirsty, wanted to make a cup of tea, and just took the opportunity to get up and walk around.
There was only one wall lamp turned on in the living room, and the light was dim. He thought Wen Xuan had already fallen asleep, so he couldn't help walking on tiptoe.
Unexpectedly, when she entered the kitchen, she saw Wen Xuan standing in the dark, facing the window, with her hands resting on the countertop, she didn't know what she was thinking.
Ye Yinfeng stepped heavily: "Are you still asleep?"
His sudden voice startled Wen Xuan, she trembled slightly, and instinctively turned her head around, with the same expression as when she was in the car.
Ye Yinfeng frowned: "What's wrong with you these two days, are you surprised all of a sudden?"
"It's because you don't make any noise when you walk, and it scares me every time." Wen Xuan preemptively strikes, but her smile is weak, "Do you want some tea?"
"Yeah! Why don't you even turn on the lights?"
"I also wanted to drink something. I remembered something when I came here, but I forgot it for a while."
"Oh, what makes you think so preoccupied?"
Wen Xuan didn't speak, and was busy making tea.She took the teapot and teacups, and opened the cupboard door, and there were more than a dozen tins of tea, large and small.
She turned her head with a smile and asked, "Which one would you like to drink?"
Ye Yinfeng pointed to the outermost can: "Ceylon black tea - you haven't answered me yet!"
Wen Xuan smiled and said, "What else can I think about, of course I'm thinking about how to get along with your mother."
Ye Yinfeng also smiled: "It's easy to say."
Wen Xuan was surprised: "What's a simple way?"
"She wants us to give her a grandson."
Wen Xuan was stunned, and smiled helplessly: "Didn't we talk about it a long time ago, and we will talk about it a year later?"
"I'm fine, it's mainly my mother..."
Wen Xuan handed him a steaming cup of tea, her expression was a little sluggish: "Having a baby is not that simple, there are too many things to worry about, just thinking about it gives me a headache, and I feel very tired from Xiao Dong's body." Yes, so..."
Ye Yinfeng approached her, stretched out his hand to gently touch her cheek, smiled and comforted: "I didn't mean to force you, although my mother said so, but the decision is still in our hands."
Wen Xuan breathed a sigh of relief and felt relieved.She slowly leaned into Ye Yinfeng's arms, and hugged him gently: "Yinfeng, you are so kind."
Whenever this happens, Ye Yinfeng feels that his heart has also turned into a pool of water, softly rippling with shallow and clear ripples.
At night, Wen Xuan had nightmares, and whispered indiscriminately: "No, no, I don't..." But she couldn't explain clearly, as if someone had strangled her neck.
Ye Yinfeng was woken up by her, and hurriedly pushed her hard, shaking Wen Xuan awake.
Her forehead was covered with a layer of sweat, with tears hanging from the corners of her eyes, she looked very pitiful, Ye Yinfeng wiped her with a tissue: "Did you have a nightmare?"
Wenxuan suppressed the desire to cry, and nodded slowly: "I dreamed that someone wanted to kill me. I ran desperately in a woods. Then I remembered that there was Xiaodong, so I ran back quickly, but Xiaodong had already been caught by that person." ..." After speaking, she finally cried out, even though she was very restrained.
Ye Yinfeng hugged her distressedly, patted her back to comfort her, and asked after a while, "What about me? Where am I?"
"I do not know."
He sighed: "It turns out that I have no place in your heart at all."
"Nonsense." Wen Xuan's head came out of his arms, and the dream had drifted away. She woke up a lot, and there was a little smile on her face that was teased by Ye Yinfeng, "It's a good thing you didn't come to the dream , or I will add another point of worry."
"Why didn't you think that if I was by your side, at least I could help you get Xiaodong back."
Wen Xuan was silent for a moment, then chuckled: "Maybe in my heart, you are a child just like Xiaodong, you can't help much, but you always want me to worry about it."
Ye Yinfeng caressed her smooth hair: "Wenxuan, do you know? Actually, you are a very strong woman."
He discovered this within a few days after they got married. Wen Xuan was very assertive, she made up her mind on many things, and rarely bothered him.
Wen Xuan remained silent.
Ye Yinfeng groaned and enlightened her: "We are two people now, I am your husband, you can come to me when you are in trouble, you don't have to carry it secretly by yourself. Otherwise, why are you getting married!"
Perhaps because of the lingering fear from the dream, Wen Xuan didn't argue with him, but obediently got into his arms again, and nodded gently.
Ye Yinfeng waited for her to say something, he was almost sure that Wen Xuan had something on his mind, but after waiting for a long time, she didn't speak, just curled up in his arms, as quiet as a cat that just came home.
