Chapter 1375
night gradually fell, and it was as cold as water.
after the silence, the neon lights seemed to be lifeless as they flashed past the car window. fu qinyuan turned to look at the person beside him, she seemed to be lost in thought.
the mottled light was like water flowing across her face. lu li was flickering.
when she turned her head, a small part of her skin on the back of her neck was exposed to the air. he thought of the white jade buddha bracelet on his father’s table ...
it seemed to be as smooth and delicate as her skin.
the car stopped slowly, and jing xingyao snapped out of his daze. he looked up and saw the jing family’s door plate. he subconsciously prepared to unbuckle his seat belt.
without any warning, his finger touched another hand.
although she had only touched the back of his hand, she could feel that his hand was very hot. she was like a frightened little beast and quickly retracted her hand.
“we’re home.”
fu qinyuan’s eyes darkened and he helped her unbuckle her seat belt.
“thank you,” he said.
“are you free tomorrow?”
“what?” jing xingyao was packing his bag when he heard him. his fingers paused. ” what’s the matter? ”
she regretted it the moment she said that. he was no longer the person she knew before. as expected, he immediately said, ”
“i’m asking you to go out.”
when their eyes met, the surroundings were so quiet that they could hear each other’s breathing. just one look ...
jing xingyao felt as if there was a flame suddenly burning around him, like a prairie fire.
he turned his body and tilted his head to look at her. ” can i ask you out? ”
“tomorrow ... are you going to call nono and the others or ...”
“just the two of us, is that okay?”
jing xingyao felt the temperature in the car rise.
it was like entering futian, stuffy and dry.
after some time, he suddenly smiled and unlocked the car. ” it’s been a long day. rest early. i’ll wait for your call. ”
jing xingyao got out of the car in a daze. he was still in a daze when he reached the living room.
she didn’t expect that this would happen on the first day she met him.
she had already mentally prepared herself, but now that the calm at the bottom of her heart had been stirred up, how could he be so direct now!
this was simply ...
she entered the living room and was about to go upstairs when she heard a familiar and clear voice behind her.
“xingyao!”
she was so scared that her whole body stiffened, and her bag fell to the ground. she turned around and saw her father sitting in a corner, holding a foreign book in his hand.
jing hanchuan put down his book and looked at her. ” did you not have fun? ” you’re so absent-minded.”
“no, i’m just a little tired. why aren’t you asleep yet?”
“i’m getting used to jet lag.” jing hanchuan sized her up. ” did the duan siblings send you back? ”
“yes,” jing xingyao did not want his father to know that it was fu qinyuan who had sent him home.
“i was worried that nono would go crazy and not care about you anymore.”
” then ... ” she pointed upstairs and said, ” i’ll go upstairs first. ”
“yes.”
jing hanchuan stared at her back, lowered his head, and continued reading without thinking too much.
jing xingyao went back to her room to take a shower, but her heart was still in a mess. she dried her hair and sat on the dressing table, preparing to put on some skin care products. suddenly, she remembered that she had left her things in fu qinyuan’s car.
she only carried a bag out, but this time, she had to meet fu chen and other elders, so she had specially prepared some small gifts. they were all handmade beijing opera crafts and had not been distributed. she had a limited number of gifts, so she had prepared the rest for some colleagues in pear garden.
it wasn’t anything valuable, but she had made it bit by bit. the thought was priceless.
she looked at her phone. it was already one in the morning. she started to struggle whether she should ask him to get the things back, but when she thought of what he had just said, she became afraid again.
if he hadn’t suddenly said something random, she wouldn’t have forgotten about it.
**
at this moment, in the capital of yunjin city.
when jing xingyao had just opened the door and gotten out of the car, a certain someone had already noticed that she had left something behind, but he had deliberately not mentioned it.
after he returned home, the kitchen was boiling soup as usual. song fengwan didn’t know how to cook. to be more precise, she didn’t cook well. in the end, she learned how to make some soup. this thing didn’t require any skills. as long as the heat was right, it would taste good.
he didn’t eat much after working overtime that night. he turned off the fire, scooped some soup, and went out to see that there was an extra person in the living room.
“you’ve been busy until this late?” fu chen was wrapped in a long black shirt and leaning on the sofa. his eyes were calm and steady, but when he looked at him, there was a little fierceness.
fu qinyuan lowered his head to drink his soup, giving him a look.
the meaning was clear:
don’t you know why i’ve been working so late?
“complain to your mother? you’re quite capable.”
” watch your words. i’m not complaining. i’m just stating the facts. ”
fu chen touched the buddha beads in his hand. ” you’re telling the truth. good boy, just you wait. ”
“your sixth uncle’s family came back today.” this matter could not be concealed.
“is that so?”
” take some gifts when you’re free. go to the jing family’s house for a walk. your aunt said she misses you. ” fu chen was worried that his son would be addicted to fishing again and lose his mind, but he couldn’t lose his manners. the jing family had always been good to him, so he should visit him.
she didn’t expect him to say directly, ” i’m too busy with work. i’m afraid i can’t leave. ”
fu chen sneered, holding a string of beads in his hand, wishing he could do the same to him.
they were secretly mocking him.
” no matter how busy you are at work, you will have time to go to the jing family’s house, but ... ” fu chen sneered. ” if you’re not capable enough, you will be under a lot of pressure at work. ”
“i shouldn’t have used myself as a standard for you.”
“they say that the waves behind push the waves in front. i see that in the end, only the waves are left ...”
fu qinyuan did not stop drinking his soup. his father was saying, ”
it was too stupid and useless.
the short conversation between the two of them had already stabbed each other several times.
fu qinyuan had finished his soup and went into the kitchen to wash the dishes.
“i’ll go to the jing family when i have time.” his tone seemed to be a little reluctant.
“bring some things, don’t be rude.”
fu chen frowned. she used to like to go to the jing family’s house, but now that she heard that their family was back in the capital, she didn’t even say anything? this child really had a three-minute enthusiasm for anything.
“i know,”
fu chen turned around and entered the small study on the first floor.
fu qinyuan didn’t hear the sound of people going upstairs, but he heard the muffled sound of the door closing. he suddenly laughed.
was she chased out of the bedroom?
he was venting his anger on himself.
**
the next day.
fu qinyuan went to work as usual, but xiao ji noticed that he was looking at his phone. as an assistant, xiao ji had to take care of some things in advance. he could not just listen to his boss ‘orders.
when he returned to his office, he even checked his schedule for the day. there was nothing particularly important. who was he waiting for?
it was about three in the afternoon when his phone vibrated.
[ hello, i’m jing xingyao. i left something with you. ]
fu qinyuan’s lips curved into a smile. was there a need to be so official?
after a few minutes, fu qinyuan called back.
jing xingyao didn’t expect him to call. he was shocked and took a deep breath. ” hello, yingluo. ”
“the thing is with me, how do you want to get it?”
“you’re in the office?”
“yes.”
at this time, there was a knock on the door outside, and then little ji came in with a stack of documents. seeing that he was on the phone, she was a little apologetic and lowered her voice.
fu qinyuan knew that he had said he would bring the documents over immediately, so before he agreed, xiao ji pushed the door open and came in.
” i’ll go over. you can just ask the assistant to bring the things to me. i won’t delay your work. ” jing xingyao had deliberately picked working hours to send the message.
fu qinyuan narrowed his eyes and stared at the documents on the side. ” i don’t have any work this afternoon. ”
little ji’s eyes were as round as copper bells.
what kind of nonsense is this little third master talking about!
next month’s matters had already been brought up, so how could she not have a job?
“no, no job?”
jing xingyao frowned. could it be that his information was wrong?
“you’re in a hurry to get something? i’ll send it to you, or you can come and take it. ”
“there’s no hurry, why don’t we meet another day ...”
” i’m going to visit your house. it’s so hot, don’t come out. i’ll send it to you. ”
“no need, i’ll come to you!” jing xingyao blurted out.
if he were to come over, his lie last night would be exposed. with his father’s shrewdness, he would be done for.
a certain someone’s low laughter came from the other end of the phone.
“alright, i’ll wait for you.”
little ji stood at the side with an expression that said,”who am i? where am i?”
fu qinyuan had already thought about it yesterday ...
if she had not taken the initiative to look for him, he would have called her today and personally sent the things back to her.
even if it didn’t work out, he could use visiting his sixth uncle as an excuse.
in short ...
there were thousands of reasons and ways to see her.
jing xingyao was lying on the bed, still in a daze. how did things turn out like this? it was completely different from what she had expected.
