Chapter 321 Accompanying Friends
Qiao Jinglian pursed his lips, holding her hand, he walked towards the tree trunk.
Closer.
It was only then that Ye Xi saw clearly that the tree trunk in human shape was actually a little girl. Beside the little girl stood a short-haired boy with a pot cap on his head.
Ye Xi looked at the boy shaped cypress tree and couldn't help but to pucker up the corner of his mouth. He looked at Qiao Jinglian and asked, "Brother Lian, was this little one you saw when you were young?"
She remembered that she had once seen a photo of Qiao Jinglian when he was a little kid in her old house.
Qiao Jinglian smirked, "Nose or eye, you know it's a grandpa, then this grandpa will say that the little tree stump is still you!"
Qiao Jinglian pointed at the girl that was near the boy.
"Me?" Ye Xi looked over and saw that the cypress tree's "hair" was tied back in a long ponytail. There was even a butterfly knot on its head and it was wearing a small, fluffy dress.
A petticoat?
Ye Xi's eyes curved. When she was young, she loved to wear fluffy dresses the most. As a little girl, she always liked to be a princess.
Ye Xi frowned in disbelief, and laughed: "It really does look like it."
Qiao Jinglian tilted her head and looked at Ye Xi. With her beautiful phoenix eyes, and her delicate and white face that was as soft as a wave, she asked softly, "Do you like it here?"
Ye Xi nodded honestly, "I like it. It was beautiful, like a princess's dream castle. I think very few girls don't like it here. "
"I'm too lazy to care if the other girls like it or not." As long as his little daughter-in-law likes him.
Qiao Jinglian gently looked at the side of Ye Xi's face, then pinched Ye Xi's few thin white fingers in his palm and said, "Go in, I will go get something."
"Let's go together." Ye Xi looked at him and said.
Hearing her words, the luster on Qiao Jinglian's face softened, and she bit her lips, "Okay."
The two of them held hands again as they walked back to the car. Only then did Qiao Jinglian let go of Ye Xi's hand, opened the trunk, and took out the thing he bought at the supermarket.
Ye Xi wanted to help, so he pulled her to the side with his long arm, not letting her carry him.
Ye Xi had no choice but to give up. He took his bag, car keys and his phone and followed him into the ancient fortress.
What Ye Xi and Qiao Jinglian did not know was that their actions, from the moment they met to the supermarket, to the ancient fortress, had all fallen into a high-resolution, high-definition digital camera.
When Ye Xi carried the steak over to the dining room's rectangular table, Qiao Jinglian walked over from the living room with red wine and Ye Xi's phone. "Xi Xi, your phone has just rang.
"Oh." Ye Xi's eyes remained fixated on the phone in Qiao Jinglian's hand for two seconds, after which she ran to the kitchen to wash her hands, then came out and took it from Qiao Jinglian.
Ye Xi lowered his head and was about to slash the screen, but he realized that Qiao Jinglian was standing in front of her without moving.
Ye Zichen raised his head and looked at him in surprise.
Qiao Jinglian had already changed into a white housedress, her figure was long and slender, her beautiful face had lost some of its charm and had some traces of gentleness, but her eyebrows unconsciously revealed a ruffian aura, giving people a feeling that she wasn't very much.
Qiao Jinglian calmly raised his eyebrows, "Don't you want to take a look?"
She was going to look, but why was he staring at her cell phone?
Ye Xi pursed her lips, wanting to avoid him with her phone to look again.
However, she was also afraid that her actions would be too suspicious and cause him to suspect that her phone would no longer be hers.
Ye Xi frowned, her thumbs kept tapping on the phone's screen, but she couldn't make heads or tails of it.
Qiao Jinglian squinted his eyes, then took the red wine and left.
Seeing him walk away, Ye Xi heaved a sigh of relief and immediately unlocked the door.
Immediately after, a message popped up in front of her eyes.
The sender was her husband.
"Where is it?"
Ye Xi lowered her eyelashes, Bai Jie bit her lower lip and replied, "To birthday with a friend."
After Ye Xi sent the message, he was just about to put down his phone.
However, the sound of her cell phone's ringtone immediately flowed out from her palm.
Ye Xi frowned, he picked up his phone and looked at the two words "husband" that was flashing on the screen, in his heart, he suddenly saved her with all his might.
Ye Zichen's fingers tightened around his phone.
Ye Xi took a deep breath and walked towards the living room.
Qiao Jinglian looked at Ye Xi's back, and a word "chuan" slowly squeezed out from between his smooth eyebrows.
"Hey ?" Ye Xi leaned on the sofa in the living room and picked up the phone.
"Didn't I tell you to wait for your husband, for your husband to come pick you up at Lan's Mansion later? "Why did you leave first?"
The man's extremely piercing male voice came through the phone.
With one hand, Ye Xi held onto the edge of the sofa, her long black eyelashes shone under the bright light of the living room, and under her fair eyes, two beautiful fan-shaped shadows appeared, "I have something to do at the moment, so I'll be leaving first."
"A friend's birthday?" The man's tone was casual and his magnetic voice was soft, but it was also very pleasant to hear.
Ye Xi vaguely acknowledged and no longer spoke.
Huo Yaoting was also silent for a moment.
Listening to his shallow breathing beside his ears, Ye Xi's fingers that were digging into the edge of the sofa, became faster and harder.
Compared to that man's endurance, she seemed to be the one that would lose forever.
After closing my eyes, Ye Xi still spoke up, "My friend, it's your birthday, so I can't take the call for too long."
"Hmm, hang up, have fun. After you finish, call your husband. Your husband will pick you up, this time you're not allowed to leave without permission, do you understand?" The man spoke softly.
"No, no need."
Hearing that he wanted to come and fetch her, Ye Xi's eyelids jumped, he did not think much and immediately replied: "I, I'll go back by myself, you can do it yourself, there's no need to specially come to pick me up."
The other end was silent for a moment, then he smiled and said, "You're so scared that your husband will pick you up, could it be that the person who asked you to accompany him on his birthday is a man, and you're afraid that your husband will be jealous?"
The man's tone was clearly that of a joke.
But when Ye Xi heard this, he felt extremely guilty. He could not think straight, so he blurted out the words without thinking, "It's a girl ?"
Once the words were out, Ye Xi regretted it immediately.
He closed his eyes and bit his lips in frustration.
"Heh ?" "Honey, have a good time."
After she said that, she stopped giving Ye Xi the chance to speak.
Ye Xi felt his spine go numb, he stared at the screen for a long time.
And at this moment, on the other end of the phone, Emperor Map, which had yet to begin operations, was sinking into an unprecedented cold waterfall.
Qi Song fearfully looked at the cold man who was sitting on the black sofa with his neck hanging, unable to see his expression nor silence.
Suddenly, a cracking sound could be heard in the air.
Qi Song's eyes froze as he looked over, only to see that the black phone between his two slender fingers had already become deformed.
