Xia Xue began to notice that Ao Tianji was very wrong.

When the two were together, he talked noticeably less, and he didn't say a word during dinner.

Sometimes she suddenly looked up at him, and found that he was looking at her with a very strange, very inscrutable look.

But as soon as he noticed her looking at him, he immediately looked away.

And his sexual yu is also a lot lighter, he used to always pester her and keep doing it, but now most of the time he sleeps directly as soon as he goes to bed.

Of course, she didn't complain about physical loneliness, she wasn't a heavy person in the first place, even if she was sexless all her life, she didn't feel it, but his sudden change was too unbelievable......

The most hateful thing is that his mood directly affects her mood, as long as she is free, she will figure out the reason for his sudden change, and even wander at work many times, which affects her work efficiency......

The landline phone on the desk rang "Ring, Ring, Ring, ......Ring, T

This is a dedicated line in the president's office.

The gloom between her brows dissipated, and her lips rose slightly.

"President?"

"Don't wait for me after work, I have something to deal with."

The formulaic tone remains the same, and the voice is so cold that there is no trace of emotion.

“…… Be. ”

Looking out the window, looking at the sunset on the horizon, an ancient poem suddenly came to mind: The sunset is infinitely good, but it is just near dusk......

After getting off work in the afternoon, Xia Xue took the bus to her mother Xia Qinglian.

Xia Qinglian had already come to City B a few days ago to take up her post, except for helping her move on the day she came up, Xia Xue went to visit her for the second time today.

As soon as she entered her mother's apartment, she smelled the smell of food all over the house, the gloom on Xia Xue's face dissipated, she changed her shoes and walked into the kitchen with a smile, hugged her mother like a child from behind, and said coquettishly: "Mom, it's so fragrant!" ”

Xia Qinglian smiled: "Xue'er, you're here!" ”

Xia Xue poked her head out from behind her mother, looked at the lotus root in the iron pot, and showed an expression that was about to drool: "Mom, I'll go prepare the dishes and chopsticks now." ”

When she came over, she had already called her mother and asked her to prepare a meal for one more person.

During the meal, Xia Xue sometimes raised her head from the rice bowl to look at her mother opposite, looking like she wanted to speak and stopped.

"Cher, do you have something to say to me?" When Xia Xue looked up at herself thoughtfully for the sixth time, Xia Qinglian finally couldn't help but ask her.

"Uh......" Xia Xue lowered her eyes and stirred the white rice in the bowl with her chopsticks, and only raised her head after a moment of silence, her clear eyes still a little hesitant.

"Say whatever you want." Xia Qinglian looked at her quietly.

“…… If," Xia Xue hesitated and said, "Mom, what would you do if that man would appear in front of you one day?" ”

Ever since the man left 17 years ago, mother and daughter have tacitly kept silent about him, as if he never existed.

The reason why Xia Xue chose to mention it at this time is because she wants her mother to be mentally prepared in advance, after all, she is now in the same city as Wan Jiayao, and it is not impossible to really have a chance encounter.

She thought her mother would be excited, but she only saw her mother's eyelashes flicker, and her deep eyes like ancient wells did not ripple greatly.

Just as she was guessing her mother's thoughts, she heard her mother say softly: "I will slap him a few times, vent my pain for the past 17 years, and then forget about him forever." ”

There was a kind of stoic hatred in the steady tone.

17 years ago, in the same year, she experienced the death of her father, the betrayal of her husband, and the blow of nothing, and she fell from carefree paradise to hell all at once, and fell to pieces.

If it weren't for Xue'er, I'm afraid she wouldn't have been able to hold on back then.

Although she is kind, no matter how kind a person is, there is a limit to patience. For Wan Jiayao's cruel betrayal, she can't be without hatred.

Xia Xue breathed a sigh of relief, and the gloomy cloud between her eyebrows seemed to be blown away by a breeze.

Originally, she was worried that her mother would be as indifferent as that rainy night 17 years ago and allowed the man to hurt and humiliate herself.

Now it seems that she is worried.

Just a few slaps, it's too cheap for that stinky man. When she got to Xia Xue, it wasn't as simple as a few slaps.

After calming down, Xia Qinglian suddenly realized something, and hurriedly asked her daughter: "Xue'er, why did you suddenly ask this?" ”

Tentative eyes carefully observed Xia Xue's expression.

"It's okay, I'm just asking!" Xia Xue blurted out. She lowered her eyes, hiding the empty emotions in her eyes, and pretended to pick up the rice in the bowl as if nothing happened.

Xia Qinglian looked at her with suspicious and uneasy eyes for a long time before asking uncertainly, "Is it really just a casual question?" ”

"Of course." Xia Xue raised her head and showed a bright smile, the white teeth, the bright smile, perfectly covered her heart weakness.

Xia Qinglian was uneasy, but at this point, she was embarrassed to pursue it further, so she only changed the topic with a smile: "Xue'er, how are you getting along with your boss?" ”

Good or bad? How to define it?

Xia Xue's eyes flickered, and a seemingly nonchalt smile appeared on her lips, pretending to be light and said, "Me and him, it's good." Although there were occasional quarrels, there were generally no problems. ”

"Occasional quarrels can promote the development of feelings, and also add a little more fun to life, a little quarrel is pleasant!" Xia Qinglian said with a smile.

Xia Xue had a row of black lines on her forehead.

She doesn't like to quarrel with Ao Tianji, because Ao Tianji's mouth is too poisonous, and almost every time she quarrels, she will feel hurt.

After dinner, Xia Xue sat on the sofa and watched TV with her mother, but she was not interested, so she often took out her mobile phone to watch.

"Xue'er, do you have something important to deal with?" Xia Qinglian was keenly aware of her absent-mindedness.

Xia Xue put her mobile phone in her palm and said to her mother with a smile, "No." ”

"Are you waiting for someone's call?"

A touch of embarrassment flashed on Xia Xueqing's face, a flush emerged from the surface of her skin, her eyes dodged, and she denied: "No! ”

Xia Qinglian smiled without saying a word, her smile was unfathomable.

At nine o'clock, Xia Xue took the bus from her mother back to Ao Tianji's villa. She sat by the window, quietly watching the night scene passing by with bright eyes, feeling the prosperity of the city.

When the bus passed by Xingyun Coffee House, she remembered the last time she met Wan Yinxi and Ao Mingjie here, and looked up curiously from the glass window, but accidentally saw a pair of familiar handsome men and beautiful women in the coffee house on the second floor.

The woman hugged the man from behind, looking reluctant.

Her eyes shrank suddenly......
