Chapter 24

i.

As if an electric current was passing through his heart, Shao Yi's body stiffened and he was speechless for a while. His expression suddenly became a little at a loss, and the tension in his eyes completely fell into the eyes of Xiao Yuanshan, who was sitting on the sofa opposite.

For a moment, her confident sentence "Because I want to chase you" at the beginning was pulled out of the title page of her memory and echoed in his mind over and over again. Her eyes at that time were beating with a hot and bright light, innocent and clean, brave and firm, and her tone was so calm that it seemed that she was just telling a joke, without half a bit of shyness and nervousness.

But he will never forget this look, like an angel quietly descending from the morning light.

Shao Yi's fingertips on his lap trembled, and he tried to calm himself down. Xiao Yuanshan was still patiently waiting for his answer, but his eyes seemed to be as calm as if he had already understood his answer. Shao Yi didn't think about it, it turned out that such a calm and calm was inherited from the family.

Shao Yi gradually clenched his fists, his shoulders loosened slightly, and he said in a low and determined voice: "Yes, I like her too." ”

The smile in Xiao Yuanshan's eyes was completely released, and in Shao Yi's eyes, Xiao Jixi's smile was really exactly the same as her father's, giving him the illusion that the person who admitted that sentence was Xiao Jixi. Although he smiled, the rigor in Xiao Yuanshan's inky eyes was a little deeper, and he carefully examined the handsome young man who sat in front of him and said that he liked his daughter.

He remembered that when Xixi was young, a family that had business dealings with him had a son, who was a few years older than Xixi, and he almost ordered a baby for Xixi when the two families gathered, Ji Min was furious when he heard it, and said that he would never let Xixi follow her old path again. He knew that Ji Min was very strict with her, she was so big, and he had never heard her say that she was careful about boys.

This Shao Yi is still the first one. The appearance of this handsome young man made him suddenly realize that his daughter had grown up.

After Shao Yi finished answering, he saw that Xiao Yuanshan's smiling eyes were still staring at him carefully, but he didn't say a word. After being stared at by him for a long time, Shao Yi was a little uncomfortable, his eyes moved away slightly, he cleared his throat, and said: "Regarding this issue, Xiaoxi and I haven't fully thought about how to deal with it, but please rest assured, I will not bully her and make her sad." ”

It can be seen that Xiao Yuanshan likes this young man quite a lot.

Xiao Yuanshan no longer stared at him, breathed a sigh of relief, and said lightly: "I will take Xiaoxi home to live tonight, Mr. Shao has to take care of her after working hard, thank you for these few days." ”

Shao Yi couldn't react to Uncle Xiao's sudden cessation of continuing the topic just now, and only then did he remember to reply after a while: "Okay." ”

ii.

Before Xixi woke up in the afternoon, Shao Yi went out to work. Xiao Yuanshan stayed with her until she woke up and packed her things and went home together.

Jian Lanxin was not at home, it happened that she was on a trip with her friends a few days ago, and when she encountered the chaos in Paris, Xiao Yuanshan asked her to come back in a few days. His work was indeed very heavy, so he sent Xi Xi home, and after a brief explanation, he hurried out again.

As soon as she entered the room where she had stayed last time, Nozomi choked. Xiao Yuanshan rearranged this room, which was very similar to her room in Shanghai, the furniture was all the same style and tone, and even the wallpaper was the same pattern and color. He hadn't been back to Shanghai for three years, but he remembered it clearly.

It was dark and Xiao Yuanshan hadn't come back yet, Xi Xi was sitting alone in the room typing on the computer, preparing the script for next week's show.

Filipino maid Ah Xiang suddenly knocked on the door gently, and when Xi Xi answered, she walked into the door and said to Xi Xi respectfully: "Miss, Mr. asked me to change the flowers in your room, I didn't get notice in advance before you came, and I didn't have time to change them, I'm really sorry." ”

Hei Hei said it was okay and let her in to do her thing. Just as she stopped her fingers and stretched her waist, she glanced at the time, and it was already half past nine in the evening.

Xi Xi leaned back, sank into the soft pillow, took the phone and pressed it to unlock it, the screen lit up, and Shao Yi's tall figure and handsome face came into view. It was a photo of him at Paris Fashion Week, taken by herself, he stood on the red carpet, wearing a slim white shirt, with an elegant and gentle smile like a gentleman on his angular face, clean and handsome.

There is a saying in the circle that Shao Yi has a twenty-five-year-old face, but he has a thirty-five-year-old personality, calm and calm, neither humble nor arrogant.

Looking at his photo for a long time, Hei Hei turned on the call and dialed his number without hesitation.

After talking for a long time, he picked it up, his voice was a little hurried, but with a surprise that he couldn't hide: "Xiaoxi? ”

"Well," the corners of her mouth rose unconsciously when she heard his voice, and said softly, "What are you doing, why did it take so long to answer?" ”

"I was just taking a bath, I'm sorry," Shao Yi's voice calmed down, but it was not difficult to see that he must be in a good mood in a brisk and slightly raised tone, "What about you, are you at home?" ”

"Well, I was writing the host draft of last week's program, and Mr. Du just sent me a message, maybe I have to go back the day after tomorrow, how long do you have to stay in Paris?" Hei asked him.

Shao Yi said: "When they went out in the afternoon, they said that they would go to Rome tomorrow to shoot, and the plane at 9 o'clock tomorrow morning would stay for about three or four days, and then they would return directly from Rome." ”

Xi Xi was stunned and said, "Nine o'clock? You left early in the morning? ”

"Well," hearing the slight unhappiness in her voice, Shao Yi said softly, "You stay at home for the past two days and don't go out, and do a good show after you go back, I will go back in a few days." ”

It was as if the two of them had lived in the same place when they had returned.

It was the first time he had spoken to her in such a coaxing tone, but she only thought that the two would be separated from the same city tomorrow, and ignored the surprise: "Do you want to go back to Shanghai directly from Rome?" Continue to shoot "A Natural Couple" in Shanghai? ”

"Well, I heard that there is still a show, and it will all be finished before the New Year."

Xi Xi pouted here, her little face flushed, and suddenly shouted: "Then I will go to Rome with you!" ”

Shao Yi was stunned for a moment, and quickly said: "You are willful again, you have been with your father well for the past two days, he is very worried about you." ”

"But I miss you......"

After hearing her mutter, Shao Yi's heart slumped, and then calmed down. He smiled softly, his voice wrapped in a small tenderness, and said, "It's only a few days, and you can see me when you return to Shanghai, okay?" ”

Only then did she notice how patient and gentle his deep voice was.

Before Xixi could answer, Xiao Yuanshan suddenly appeared at the door, looking like he had been eavesdropping for a long time, with a smile on his face. Seeing him, Xixi was slightly stunned, holding on to his mobile phone and shouting, "Dad, are you back?" ”

"Well, Ah Xiang said that you are in the room, I will come up and take a look," Xiao Yuanshan said, glancing at the mobile phone in her ear, and said, "What about calling Shao Yi?" ”

Xixi was a little embarrassed, and hurriedly replied with a hmm, and it was very quiet all around, and Shao Yi on the other end of the phone also heard Xiao Yuanshan's voice, and he swallowed his saliva unconsciously, and the whole person became a little nervous. Uncle Xiao has not yet clearly told him what he thinks.

Xiao Yuanshan smiled, turned sideways and was about to walk away, saying, "Ah Xiang made some snacks, and went downstairs to eat after making a phone call." ”

After Xi Xi responded, he turned around and took a small step, but as if he suddenly remembered something, he looked at her sideways again, and added: "If you want him, let him come, the hotel is only ten minutes away from here." The tone was pleasant.

Shao Yi was stunned when he heard it clearly, but Xixi's eyes lit up, Xiao Yuanshan had just walked over the wall when he heard her shouting into the phone: "Did you hear it!" ”

iii.

Twenty minutes later, Shao Yi drove to the door of the Xiao family's villa.

Heeki had been waiting for him at the gate of the courtyard, and when he saw his car approaching, he staggered to the side of the road like a rabbit. When he was steady, she walked to the co-pilot, the window fell, Shao Yi sat inside, his handsome face was particularly clear and bright in the blurred night, she said: "Park the car and get down, the maid made a snack, and Dad let you come in to eat together." ”

Shao Yi thought for a while and said, "I'm still not going to bother Mr. Xiao, you come in and sit." ”

It was the first time he had offered her to get close to him.

Xixi opened the car door and sat in, Shao Yi naturally pressed the button to close the window, sealing the two of them in each other's private space. She was a little surprised by his calmness, as if they were used to it.

…… Obviously, it's the first time, it's like a tryst.

Shao Yi looked sideways at Xi Xi, she was wearing a lotus pink silk pajamas, lace dotted the edge of her chest, and a coat on the outside, she just entered the warm car from outside, she couldn't help but feel excited.

"You won't be standing in the doorway for long, will you?" Shao Yi frowned slightly and asked her.

"It's been since you said you entered the entrance of the block, and you could have reached it in two minutes, but who knew you were so stupid, it took you five minutes to find it." She looked disgusted, but her voice was energetic and pleasant.

Shao Yi looked at her quietly for a while, and was silent all around, her voice was as melodious and crisp as a wind chime, and her smart and beautiful big eyes were clearly reflected in his eyes, which made his heart surge. He spoke slowly, and his tone was serious: "You must stay at home these days and don't go out, do you know?" ”

"Got it." She replied whimsily.

He asked her cautiously, "Your stepmother, do you have a good relationship?" ”

Xi Xi replied lightly: "I'm not familiar, I've only met this person once since I knew it, that is, the last time my dad got married, but she is not a bad person, don't worry." ”

"What about Xiaohao, when did you know?"

"The first time we met, the last time we were in Paris."

Shao Yi smiled lightly and said, "Is there a better relationship with him now?" ”

When he said this, she was slightly stunned. Xi Xi thought for a while before saying, "Jian Hao is very good to me, I think, maybe his personality is like that." Shao Yi nodded, she suddenly turned her head to look at him, and said firmly, "Why are you asking this?" ”

“…… Shouldn't I care about getting to know you? Suddenly she asked, and he didn't react a little.

Hei Xi quickly asked, "Why should it?" ”

Shao Yi was stunned, still didn't know what she meant, and it didn't look like he was unhappy when he heard her tone. Seeing that he didn't speak for a long time, she knew that he must be at a loss again, and silently mourned for ten seconds in her heart that she liked a stupid and straight man.

Xi Xi pursed his lips and reminded him, "If I asked you today, you haven't answered yet." ”

His wooden fish brain was knocked hard again, and his expression became a little embarrassed. It turned out that she wanted to say that he had to give a reason for his concern......

There was a moment of silence in the car, and Xi Xi's face was calm, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, quietly waiting for his answer, but there was still a trace of nervousness in his eyes. If he touched her hand, he would find that her palm was cold and trembling slightly. For Shao Yi, she has used up all her courage. She hasn't been like this since she was a child, at least when Qiu Yu confessed to her, she was flustered.

turned himself upside down by himself.

The beautiful girl in front of her looked at herself quietly, Shao Yi's expression calmed down, and her eyes were deep and solemn. He knew that his heart was beating calmly, because it was a question with a very clear answer.

Shao Yi exhaled lightly and said, "Yes." ”

She was stunned and asked, "What is it?" ”

He told her firmly: "Yes, I like you." ”

Xiao Yuanshan, who was standing behind the floor-to-ceiling window on the second floor, silently looked at a couple of men and women sitting in the car not far downstairs, and watched the man slowly stretch out his strong arms, take the shoulders of the woman next to him, and hug her tightly into his arms.

Xiao Yuanshan hooked the corners of his mouth, continued to look at it for a while, then took out his mobile phone from his pocket and dialed a string of numbers. After a few years of divorce, he never forgot her mobile phone number.

Soon, Ji Min picked it up, and his voice was very surprised: "Xiao Yuanshan? ”

"Well," he replied happily, his voice unconcealed his joy, "Shao Yi, you should know, right?" ”

Ji Min was stunned, didn't know what to do, and replied, "I know." ”

"Did Xiaoxi sue you about her affair with Shao Yi?"
