Chapter 154: That Warmth

[3Qโ™‚ รท โ†’ .], wonderful free reading without pop-ups!

The phone rang three or four times, and it was quickly connected.

The butler's voice came from there.

Xu Qiaoqiao said: "Uncle Liang, I am Qiaoqiao. โ€

"Pretty guys, you finally called, and the old man was still talking about you just now. โ€

Xu Qiaoqiao suddenly remembered how long it had been since she had called Uncle Jun? It seemed that since her relationship with Jun Muye was exposed, she had been subconsciously avoiding it. If it's just that he broke off the marriage contract with Jun Jinnian, it's nothing. It's just that she was with Jun Muye again not long after, and she was a little weak-hearted, and she didn't know how to face Uncle Jun and how to explain to him.

What kind of views and attitudes will Uncle Jun have towards this relationship?

Just as she was distracted, she heard a familiar voice on the other end ask, "Whose phone is it?"

After the butler replied yes, the microphone was quickly snatched away.

"Hey, pretty guys? I'm Uncle Jun. Have you been busy lately, why haven't you come to see Uncle Jun for a long time?"

Xu Qiaoqiao's heart was hot, and at the same time, a sense of guilt swelled up. Uncle Jun is so kind to her, he misses her so much, and she ......

Xu Qiaoqiao was full of self-reproach and said, "I'm sorry, Uncle Jun." I ......" She paused, and couldn't find a good reason, so she had to lie head-on: "I've been a little busy lately, and I just took on a new play!"

Jun Changtian didn't say anything, but asked, "Then are you free today?" You haven't come to dinner with Uncle Jun for a long time. โ€

Do you want to go to Jun's house? She had a faint hunch in her heart, this was not just a meal. However, she can refuse her mother, but she can't refuse this kind elder who treats her like her own daughter.

"Good. She agreed.

If you can use scandals to prevaricate the past before, then Jun Muye attended the premiere and admitted the relationship between them in person, so there is no excuse!

Since she is determined to go on with Jun Muye, how long can she escape? Although Jun Muye said that he would deal with the opinions of the family, she actually wanted to be an ostrich too. But after all, the relationship is a matter of two people, and she also wants to do something for this relationship.

What's more, even an elder as strict as Commander Jiang dared to face the attack, Uncle Jun would not be more terrible than Commander Jiang!

She thought optimistically.

Before going to Jun's house, he sent a text message to Jun Muye, telling him that he would have dinner at Jun's house tonight, but did not ask him if he wanted to come.

At this time, he should be busy, and she was about to put the phone back in her pocket when it vibrated a little.

It's Jun Makino's reply. There was only one simple word, indicating that he knew, but he did not express any other thoughts.

Xu Qiaoqiao stared at the word on the screen, which was very in line with his usual personality. However, at this time, she felt that this word actually had a deeper meaning and could be understood a lot.

Is it cold, perfunctory, impatient, or a meaningless response?

In her heart, she felt that Jun Muye had been a little abnormal since last night. But it's not easy for her to judge his coldness to her based on words alone...... Although, she is somewhat of that feeling.

Forget it, let's think about it when we meet. At this time, speculation is just asking for trouble.

โ€”โ€”โ€”

Xu Qiaoqiao arrived at Jun's house, and the housekeeper told her that Jun Changtian was in the study.

The housekeeper didn't say much, she didn't think much about it, and walked to the study.

Because she made a long detour to buy Jun Changtian's favorite "time-honored" pastry, it was still hot when it came out of the oven, so she wanted to let him taste it quickly.

Jun Changtian's health is not very good, and he is now in a semi-retired state, and he is usually quite idle. Therefore, Xu Qiaoqiao thought that he was reading a book or something in the study, but she didn't expect to go to the door and heard a conversation inside.

The familiar voice made her stunned in place.

"Do you want to bid for the land in the sea?" asked Jun Changtian.

"Yes. Jun Jinnian replied.

"It's not eligible for development. โ€

"In fact, I have been investigating this resource for a long time, this is the plan made by our investment department, I believe that after you read it, Dad, you will have different opinions. โ€

There was a brief silence in the study, and then Jun Changtian was heard to speak: "I don't care about the company's affairs anymore. You should give this plan to your eldest brother. โ€

"When I agreed to put this department in my hands, it was just for show. The existence of this department has always been in name only. โ€

"Your eldest brother didn't mean to suppress you. He has more experience in business than you, and if he rejects your proposal, he will have his ideas. You've just joined the company, so don't rush anything. โ€

When Xu Qiaoqiao heard this, she understood that they were talking about business. Although Jun Jinnian's tone was full of accusations of Jun Muye's autocracy, at this time, she should leave. In public and private, she shouldn't listen too much.

Xu Qiaoqiao was about to turn around, but heard a voice behind her: "Qiaoqiao, you are here, why are you standing outside the door?"

She was slightly startled, turned her head, and saw the second wife walking towards her.

And when I heard the voice outside the door, the conversation inside also stopped.

"Uh, Uncle Jun and Jinnian are talking about things......" Xu Qiaoqiao calmed down, and was about to reply, when the door was opened.

A long figure enveloped her behind her. A familiar breath, no need to look back, she also knows who is standing behind her.

In front is the second wife, and behind is Jun Jinnian. Her situation was a bit of a dilemma, but soon, she adjusted her mentality. I was mentally prepared before I came, wasn't it?

"The second wife is good. She greeted Ye Qianwen politely, then turned around slowly, took a small step back without a trace, opened some distance, raised an apologetic smile, and looked at him with a calm look, "Sorry, did you disturb you?"

Jun Jinnian looked at her straight, for a moment, with such focused eyes, as if a long time had passed, wanting to see her enough.

Xu Qiaoqiao was very uncomfortable with him, and her smile was a little stiff. If it weren't for the presence of the second wife, she would have turned around and left long ago.

Fortunately, Jun Changtian walked out. Xu Qiaoqiao immediately showed a bright smile at him and shouted sweetly: "Uncle Jun." Taking advantage of the situation, he bypassed Jun Jinnian in front of him and walked towards him.

"Pretty girl, I've finally looked forward to you!" Jun Changtian's expression was very happy, he took her hand, and looked her up and down with his eyes as if he was inspecting, and then patted the back of her hand with satisfaction, and said, "Well, the complexion is good, it seems to have grown flesh, not as thin as before." โ€

"Ah, is there one?" Xu Qiaoqiao looked down in surprise. She's gained weight? This is a taboo for artists!

She thought about it carefully, she was with Jun Muye for a while, although she was always tossed by him at night, but he served three meals a day thoughtfully. In the evening, when she wanted to have a supper, he made it for her. Usually, after work, I will stop by to buy some desserts for her, and sometimes I will ask someone to bring some snacks back from abroad to satisfy her hunger.

And she has been enjoying it unconsciously. Ruonan didn't say that she had gained weight, probably because she hadn't seen Uncle Jun for too long, so the contrast would be more obvious.

Xu Qiaoqiao thought about this, and a strong sense of guilt rose in her heart. No, she has to control her appetite and lose weight when she goes back!

She stuck out her tongue embarrassedly, and found a reason: "Maybe I'm too busy to take care of picky eaters, and all kinds of eating have enlarged my stomach." โ€

"You see that you are already busy like this now, if you really become a big star in the future, then if you want to meet you, do you have to make an appointment?"

Xu Qiaoqiao was embarrassed. He pursed his lips and pretended to be coquettish: "Uncle Jun, you make fun of me! I'm still far away from the big star!"

"What does it matter if you don't be a big star, you don't lack that money, you don't need to work so hard. The job of acting is just a hobby and just passing the time. Jun Changtian doesn't really want her to be a star, but this is her choice, and he doesn't want to interfere too much.

Xu Qiaoqiao couldn't help but sigh when she heard this. Even if Uncle Jun is good to her, she is an adult after all, with hands and feet, and she hopes to have a successful career and be financially independent.

However, she did not want to argue with Uncle Jun on this point. She nodded obediently: "I know, a combination of work and rest." โ€

"You used to come to see me a few times a week, but now it's hard to see me once a month. โ€

Xu Qiaoqiao felt a little guilty and a little weak-hearted. Suddenly remembered something, took the things in his hand, bent his crescent-like eyes, and said with a sweet smile on his lips, and said flatteringly: "Uncle Jun, this is a time-honored brand that has just come out of the oven, and you love to eat it the most." For the sake of my two-hour queue, forgive me this time! โ€

"You ghost elf, you know how to bribe. Well, for your sake. โ€

"Uncle Jun is the best for me~"

And Jun Jinnian looked at her coquettish appearance with her father, her eyes were soft, and there was a touch of nostalgia and complexity. In the past, she had been so defenseless and close to her. Now, she avoids him like a snake and scorpion, and doesn't even want to say more to him.

Now his treatment is like her attitude towards Jun Muye at the beginning.

He laughed self-deprecatingly in his heart, this is really feng shui in turn.

Even if Xu Qiaoqiao didn't turn her head, she could feel a certain line of sight staring straight at her. The gaze was too persistent and intense for her to ignore. However, she had no choice but to turn a blind eye.

Every time Ye Qianwen saw Changtian's kindness to Xu Qiaoqiao, her heart was like a thorn in her heart, she didn't know, she thought that this Xu Qiaoqiao was Jun Changtian's biological daughter!

She looked unsightly, unhappy, but seeing that her son was left out, she still had a kind and warm smile on her face, she walked over and took Xu Qiaoqiao's hand and said, "Yes, you see that you haven't come for so long, everyone is very worried about you." If you are bitter and tired outside, you must remember that Jun's family is your home. And Jin Nian, remember, when you were a child, when you were wronged, you had to find your brother Jin Nian. At that time, you were afraid of the dark, and you refused to sleep at night, so you had to stay with you to sleep. โ€

Xu Qiaoqiao was stunned. The second wife's words evoked her memories. It would be after she experienced life and death from the elevator, Uncle Jun took her to Jun's house. For a while, she couldn't get rid of that shadow and couldn't sleep peacefully, and then Jun Jinnian would sing to her before going to bed, telling stories to lull her to sleep.

When she wakes up from nightmares, he is always the first to come to her room. In the dark, he would hold her, the wide and warm embrace, driving away all her uneasiness. She gradually got used to his embrace and became dependent on him.

Xu Qiaoqiao looked at the man in front of her, remembering the warmth in the dark, and was in a trance for a while.

Finding that she was looking at herself fixedly, Jun Jinnian's heart throbbed slightly.

The two elders noticed this subtle change in the atmosphere, looked at each other, and understood.

"Jin Nian, you accompany Qiao Qiao first. I'll go to the kitchen with your dad and ask them to cook some pretty food. With that, he didn't give them a chance to react, and they both left.

Outside the study, there were only two people left, looking at each other speechlessly.

The atmosphere was silent, and embarrassment spread in the air.
