237: Affection
Xia Ruan stared at the young man in front of him with a red face.
The silence around her could clearly hear the sound of her own heartbeat.
His eyes reflected hers.
The young man's usual cold eyebrows actually seem a little unreal softness at this moment.
Xia Ruan moved his lips, but did not make a sound.
She couldn't help but feel a little annoyed, took a deep breath, and suppressed the chaos in her heart.
Xiao Jiu was slightly stunned, vaguely feeling that something was wrong with this, but for some reason he just didn't want to let go of her hand.
It seemed that as soon as he let go, Xia Ruan would flee far away.
From the very beginning, he knew that Xia Ruan was somewhat repulsive to feelings.
Perhaps it was because of the relationship between Li Changyue and Xia Fucheng that Xia Ruan saw despair, so in her eyes, a man's words could not be trusted. So she would rather show up to do business and let her position stand high, so that even if there is no man to cling to in the future, she can take care of herself and protect her family.
Such a Xia Ruan made him feel a little distressed.
Xiao Jiu understands this feeling better than anyone else......
Xia Ruan quickly reacted, tilted his head slightly, and spoke, slightly shy: "You...... Let go. ”
Xiao Jiu looked at Xia Ruan, but his hand was clenched tighter: "Don't let go." ”
Xia Ruan looked at Xiao Jiu with round eyes, and his face was stunned: "You ......"
Could a trip to L.A. really change so much?
How can a humble gentleman become like this?
"Every time in a dream, I let go. You're gone. Xiao Jiu looked at her, his eyebrows were handsome, and his eyes were burning.
Xia Ruan's face was on fire, and he suddenly felt that he was not the opponent of the person in front of him anyway, and his heart was pounding in his chest.
After thinking for a while, she said, "I won't disappear, I'm just ...... I'm just going to the kitchen to show you if there's any food. ”
Xiao Jiu looked at the coquettishness revealed in Xia Ruan's words, the roots of the girl's ears seemed to be red under the candlelight, and he let go of his hand with some reluctance: "I'm not...... Not intentionally. ”
Xiao Jiu's voice just fell. only to see Xia Ruan turn around and push the door to leave. The footsteps seem to be a bit rushed.
He couldn't help but feel a little annoyed about what he had done. How could you do such a thing and say something like that......
Between the originally cold eyebrows, there is no calmness in the past. Instead, there was a little more shyness.
Xiao Jiu raised the hand he had just held Xia Ruan. Laughed out loud.
However, Xia Ruan walked out of the house. Her footsteps slowed down, and the temperature from her hand seemed to burn her.
Xia Ruan put her hand on her chest. She could feel how hard her heart was beating. The throbbing at that moment, Xia Ruan actually understood very well, she didn't have a trace of disgust for this life. That feeling of familiarity, it seems, is back.
That person is Xiao Jiu, Xiao Shaocheng in her previous life, her husband in this life, and the person who wants to spend her life with her.
She had always admired Xiao Shaocheng in the past, but she never dared to have such delusional thoughts. It seems that such a cranky thought would blaspheme that person.
In her heart, Xiao Shaocheng's existence is like a fairy, like a flower of kaolin, otherwise it is not a little vulgar.
The memories of her previous life and Xiao Shaocheng came to her mind like a tide.
In the past, when she died, Xiao Shaocheng was still unmarried. She would never have guessed what kind of woman was so important in his heart. Later, she knew that the person she had always envied and jealous of was actually herself.
Xia Ruan clenched her palms, and the pain from her fingertips made her understand that all this was not a dream.
But if it wasn't a dream, why would it make her feel so good?
"Miss?" Duran noticed that there seemed to be movement in the courtyard, and saw that the young lady was standing at the gate of the courtyard, slightly stunned. Du Lan looked at Xia Ruan with some concern, frowned, and said, "Miss, what's wrong with you?" Is there something uncomfortable? ”
Xia Ruan raised his head in shock, shook his head: "It's okay." ”
Under the dim light, Duran still noticed that something seemed wrong with Xia Ruan.
But what was wrong, Duran couldn't say.
"Miss, it's too cold outside, just call the slave maid if you have any orders." Seeing that Xia Ruan refused to say more, Du Lan changed the topic, "If it freezes, Madam will worry about you again." ”
Xia Ruan thought about it and smiled faintly: "I want to go to the kitchen to see if there is any food." Xiao Gongzi rushed all the way back, afraid that he was a little hungry. ”
When Du Lan heard this, he laughed: "Miss, this is worried about Xiao Gongzi, so that's the case." ”
Xia Ruan pretended to be calm: "I'll go to the kitchen with you to take a look." ”
"Just go and go." Duran thought for a moment and said softly, "There should be food in the kitchen, and the slave maid asked them to bring it." Miss and Xiao Gongzi haven't seen each other for a long time, so there must be a lot to say...... The slave will knock on the door in a moment. ”
Xia Ruan and Xiao Jiu are now married, and many things actually need to be avoided.
But Xiao Jiu is now returning to Beijing alone, and outsiders naturally don't know.
In Du Lan's eyes, Xiao Jiu is a righteous gentleman, so he naturally doesn't think that Xiao Jiu will do what only a disciple can do.
Xia Ruan was a little speechless.
If she were to go back now, she would still feel a little embarrassed.
She didn't know how to face Xiao Jiu, and Xia Ruan's heartbeat still hadn't calmed down.
I don't know how to describe that feeling.
For her, this is an unprecedented mood.
"No, you don't know what he likes to eat." Xia Ruan didn't think much about it, and walked in the direction of the kitchen.
Du Lan couldn't help muttering: "Miss Fei knows what Xiao Gongzi eats, so ......"
Duran raised his head, looked at the direction in which Xia Ruan disappeared, smiled and chased after him.
I have to say that the dishes Xia Ruan chose were all Xiao Jiu's favorite dishes.
In the past, when she opened a restaurant, Xiao Jiu would often come to her restaurant to eat, so she basically knew what dishes Xiao Jiu liked and what flavors she liked. During the meal, Duran and Ai Ye served on the side. Xiao Jiu invited Xia Ruan to dine together, and Xia Ruan used some of it.
Actually, she wasn't hungry at all, but if she didn't eat, she was afraid that she would be cranky.
Fortunately, Xiao Jiu is a person who doesn't speak, she just needs to bury her head in eating.
However, in the end, Xia Ruan found that he had eaten too much and felt a little uncomfortable.
After eating, Xiao Jiu got up and said goodbye.
He had something to do when he returned to Beijing, and it was getting late. He couldn't have stayed in Xia Ruan's courtyard for too long.
Xia Ruan sent Xiao Jiu to the back door. He couldn't help but admonish: "Yang Ge Lao's matter, don't be in a hurry to deal with it." ”
Xiao Jiu raised his eyes to look at her and smiled faintly: "I know how to do it, it's just ......"
"Zhang's family is in Dongyang County. Now the county leader of Dongyang County is a member of the Wen family. Xia Ruan thought for a while. Recently, there has been a lot of change in the imperial court. You remember to contact my third uncle. Also, although the Jiang family's affairs do not seem to have reversed the situation, they should still be cautious...... You ......"
Xia Ruan didn't know how to talk to Xiao Jiu. Let him not do the same thing as in his previous life. Xiao Jiu at that meeting did make many people jealous, but his reputation was already linked to his ruthlessness. Xia Ruan knew that Xiao Jiu was not such a person, these people forced him into that position little by little, if he didn't resist, then he would be the one who was crushed in the end.
But there are many ways to do a lot of things well, and there are other ways, and they don't have to be so extreme.
Xiao Jiu frowned, and said calmly: "The Yang family and the Zhang family, I will be careful when dealing with them." ”
Xiao Jiu said it very directly, but it made Xia Ruan's heart even more worried.
She didn't think about it this time, so she said directly: "You have to take care of your reputation somewhat, after all, I will be worried." ”
After Xia Ruan finished speaking, he realized what he had said.
She regretted it very much, her usual composure would always disappear in front of this person every time.
After Xiao Jiu heard this, he raised his head to look at Xia Ruan, only to see her show a look of annoyance, and couldn't help but smile: "Don't worry, I'll be careful." I'm not alone now, I still have you, I'll worry about that. ”
"That's not what I meant......," Xia Ruan wanted to explain, but he didn't know how to explain, "In short, you must remember not to be impulsive, even if you have to deal with some things, you can do it in a different way." ”
Xiao Jiu nodded and said with a smile: "I know." Thank you, Nguyen. ”
Xiao Jiu's low and gentle voice made Xia Ruan's face turn red again.
After coming out of Xia's house, Xiao Jiu got into the carriage.
As he sat in the car, he could still feel the burning heat coming from his palm.
She actually guessed what he wanted to do.
Xiao Jiu closed his eyes and recuperated, thinking about how to deal with the affairs of the Zhang family and the Yang family.
Now the power of the eldest prince has been secretly weakened by the emperor, on the surface, it seems that the eldest prince is quite favored by the saint, but in fact, he has long been regarded by the saint as a thorn in the flesh. This time, the Jiang family seemed to still want to take refuge in the eldest prince, Xiao Jiu couldn't help but want to laugh, the uncle of the country is now having a stroke in bed, how can the uncle of the country be so stupid.
The eldest prince's mother is Zeng Guifei, and the force behind the eldest prince is Rong Guogong.
The Jiang family is like this, but it is just a stepping stone for Rong Guogong, how can Rong Guogong save the Jiang family and Queen Jiang in the palace?
It's just a joke......
Xiao Jiu rubbed his eyebrows, Xia Ruan's words today made him somewhat alert.
This time, the emperor revealed his anger towards the eldest prince, whether it was intentional or unintentional.
If it was according to his previous thoughts, then it would indeed leave a bad impression on his reputation, as Xia Ruan said.
Xiao Jiu realized that he was no longer alone.
In a few months, she will be by his side.
When he returned to the mansion, he no longer had to face the cold mansion and didn't know who to talk to.
There was a hint of a smile on Xiao Jiu's lips, he would not do anything reckless and make Xia Ruan worry about him.
He is her husband and should hold her up.
Moreover, Xia Ruan has already been moved by him, and maybe in a few days, he will treat him with all his sincerity.
Xiao Jiu knew that he wouldn't wait too long.
He has tasted the best feelings in the world, so he will be patient enough to wait until this relationship is completely his.
He's the only one. (To be continued......)
