The wind blows gently and gives it a unique autumn flavor that is refreshing.
But Xiao Xiao's mood was a little anxious.
Looking at the posture in front of him, dinner was going to be eaten in the courtyard.
The servant quickly set up the table, covered with a pure white tablecloth, and in the center of the table a vase with a few lilies.
Qiu Lei changed into a set of clean clothes, white shirt and black pants, and did not feel haggard after being stabbed by a knife.
As the candles were lit one after another, an ambiguous atmosphere lingered within a radius of several meters.
Xiao Xiao is very unaccustomed to this kind of 'hypocritical' eating rule, and she doesn't like to be ambiguous with him even more.
The point is that it is not ambiguous at all.
The maid brought the food, whether it was Western food or veal steak.
Qiu Lei rolled up his sleeves a few times, reached out and took the plate in front of Xiao Xiao: "I'll help you cut it." ā
The bright red facet appeared in front of him, and Xiao Xiao suddenly wanted to vomit: "Qiu Lei, I don't eat raw!" ā
But the man didn't seem to hear, he still lowered his head and operated the knife and fork in his hand, he skillfully cut the steak into thin slices, sprinkled some foie gras on top, and then handed the plate to Xiao Xiao.
"Well, listen to me, you're going to love the taste."
Xiao Xiao hates this kind of domineering behavior, Xu Kai is also a domineering person, but he never makes it difficult for others, he always stands in his own perspective in everything, and even changes his own eating habits in order to cater to her appetite.
"Qiu Lei, I really can't eat, just eat some bread." Xiao Xiao took a slice of freshly baked bread from a small bamboo basket, which looked very attractive in color.
But she knew that she couldn't stare at one thing and eat more, so after a few bites, she began to sandwich the vegetables and fruits next to her.
Qiu Lei ate the medium-rare steak in front of him unhurriedly, his lips were pursed when he chewed the meat, and he ate very elegantly.
The maid poured red wine for the two of them, and Xiao Xiao pushed his cup away.
Although Xu Kai looked very focused on eating, the corner of his eye saw all this, including Xiao Xiao's slightly frowning eyebrows.
In the distance, the voice of a woman crying was heard slowly.
Xiao Xiao's hand paused, and he raised his eyes to look at Qiu Lei.
"Leave her alone, you eat quickly."
"But---- Lin Pei'er, what did she do to you? Is this necessary? She's crazy, let her out. "As long as he can go out alone, Xu Kai will always find clues.
She seems to underestimate Qiu Lei's current state of mind!
"Xiao Xiao, that woman provoked you three times and twice, have you forgotten? There have been a few times when I hadn't stopped you, and you probably wouldn't know where you would be by now. Don't tell me you really want to intercede for her. ā
The man's erratic and arrogant tone, coupled with the way he eats bright red slices of meat, makes the whole picture give people an indescribable tremble.
Of course, Xiao Xiao is not an ordinary woman, she is not scared.
"What do you mean? I don't understand. "The pale skin glistened in the candlelight of the dusk, shimmering with an agate-like sheen, and that innocent expression reappeared.
Qiu Lei loves her very much, she is obviously a cunning woman, but she has a pair of simple eyes.
"You threw up at me that day, not because I was nauseous, but because you were pregnant?" He abruptly diverted the subject.
Xiao Xiao didn't remember that he was Pei Yana at all, and he was almost slighted by Qiu Lei.
She looked even more innocent: "Qiu Lei, what are you talking about?" I didn't understand a word, can I please explain it? ā
Qiu Lei smiled gently, if it was normal, Xiao Xiao would only think that he was very good at disguise, but at the moment he looked extremely insidious.
Xiao Xiao ate a few grapes and began to persuade him: "Qiu Lei, with your current status and identity, the woman who likes you, and the woman who wants to marry you is just like crossing the river, why are you pestering me?" The little affection between us has long been worn out, and there is not much left, isn't it good that we live in peace and live well? ā
The man was still smiling slightly, peaceful and gentle, Xiao Xiao rubbed his eyes.
This kind of acting is not something that ordinary people can master.
"You're right!"
"Since you think I'm right, then you still ---- you're here to deal with Xu Kai?" She suddenly thought of this layer, otherwise why did Qiu Lei try to trap herself here?
It's Xu Kai again!
The sound of metal slashing across the disk was particularly harsh, Qiu Lei put down the knife and fork, and his eyes, which were still warm just now, suddenly became as sharp as a knife.
Xiao Xiao knew that he had lost his words, he shouldn't have mentioned Xu Kai, men are like this!
She thought like this, and quickly remedied, this juncture was not the time to make sense, she still looked innocent, blinked her eyes and asked, "Are you going to work tomorrow?" I'm bored by myself, why don't I release Lin Pei'er? ā
Qiu Lei licked his teeth, his face changed instantly, knowing that Xiao Xiao was saving the situation, but he was still very happy.
At least, she knows how to compromise!
What if she was smarter? This time I don't want to escape from him!
Don't even think about it!
"I'll stay at home with you tomorrow." He picked up his knife and fork again and ate the bright red slices of meat into his mouth.
"Qiu Lei, I want to remind you of one thing."
"Huh?" He suddenly became interested, and his beloved took the initiative to talk to him more and more, but he wanted to know what tricks Xiao Xiao still wanted to play.
Xiao Xiao's expression was very serious, he spit out grape seeds in a small plate, and said, "You eat steak like this, be careful that there will be parasites, have you gone to the hospital to check?" I suspect you have it in your stomach right now, slender and long, very scary! ā
Qiu Lei: "-----"
He knew that she was deliberately provoking herself, and she was using this 'well-intentioned' way.
But I can't be angry with her.
Her appetite was gone, the fire in her chest was burning louder and louder, and her voice was ethereal with an intoxicating crispness, especially when she pretended to be innocent like this.
Qiu Lei sat straight and looked at her, the bright red water chestnut lips became more and more full because of the moisture of grape juice, like the flesh dipped in honey, which looked very delicious, I don't know what Xu Kai tasted like every day when he tasted such a delicacy.
Suddenly, anger surged up.
Xiao Xiao found that Qiu Lei's eyes were not quite right, thinking that he was angry, and tried to save the situation again: "Qiu Lei, don't take it too seriously, some people are born with good resistance, maybe the digestive enzymes in your body have killed the parasites, don't worry, even if there are parasites, they can't kill people." ā
Behind the thick glass lenses, the narrow phoenix eyes reflected the scorching candle flame, and the pupils inside could not be seen clearly.
Qiu Lei's memory goes back to many years ago, this woman will always tease herself for no reason, after a slap, she will stuff a candy, and she has no way to deal with her.
He suddenly reached out and grabbed Xiao Xiao's hand, there was still some distance between the tables, and Xiao Xiao was pulled by him and almost lay on the table.
"You bastard! I'm just kidding, why are you so careful! ā
Qiu Lei realized that it might hurt her, so he let go of his hand: "Sleep with me tonight." ā
This is already beyond the normal range that Xiao Xiao can bear.
"You beast, I'm pregnant!"
"You think too much, I don't mean that, of course, if you insist on thinking so, I don't plan to put up with it."
The meaning of his words has been blatantly revealed.
The autumn breeze is gentle, and the shadows of the trees are floating.
A smell of blood spread in the darkness, which was particularly frightening in this night.
Xu Kai returned to the villa on the top of the hill with his briefcase, and after a few days of hard work, he was extremely tired.
Throwing his branded leather bag and blazer on the couch, it was autumn but still suffocating, he untied his tie and walked upstairs.
The smell of blood became stronger and stronger, covering people like blood ink that could not be dissolved, like a dead net.
Light shone through the crack in the bedroom door, casting a long shadow on the wall of the hallway.
He thought again: Where did the smell of blood come from?
The moment the bedroom door was pushed open, he knew---
On the double bed specially prepared for marriage, there was a pure white silk sheet, Xiao Xiao was lying on it, his face was hideous and terrifying, his eyes were open, his clothes were tattered, and it was clear that he was ----
No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't see her face clearly, and that kind of helpless despair made Xu Kai several desperate.
The gaze shifted from her blurred face to her lower abdomen, and the large pool of blood dripped down the silky strands.
"Xiao --- Xiao Xiao!"
He called out, obviously with all his strength, but it was so ethereal and almost inaudible.
"Xiao Xiao!"
He wanted to take a step forward, to shake her vigorously to wake her up, but he couldn't take a step.
At this time, the door of the bathroom was pushed open, and he saw Qiu Lei walking out wrapped in only a bath towel, and the arrogant smile in his eyes was extremely dazzling and arrogant.
"Xiao Xiao!"
Xu Kai felt someone push him, and when he opened his eyes again, he took a deep breath.
"President, why are you asleep here?" Chen Lin helped the lenses on the bridge of his nose, but he didn't expect the big boss to have nightmares.
Xu Kai sat up from the sofa suddenly, supported his forehead with one hand, and found that the sweat was already wet.
After a long while, he said, "Did you find it?" ā
Chen Lin said: "Qiu Lei, Tang Qingyao and Tang Xinzengjin's properties have all been checked, and they have also sent people to see them, and there is no trace of anyone living there." ā
He certainly wouldn't be that stupid!
But what went wrong?
Obviously, every clue has been followed!
Xu Kai had a terrible headache, the dream just now was exactly what he was thinking during the day, it turned out that the dream was so real! If that's the case----
No, he won't let that happen!
Suddenly, he raised his head and looked directly at Chen Lin and asked, "What is the gift you most want to give to Luo Xin?" ā
Chen Lin was confused by this question, but he knew that the big boss never talked nonsense, so after thinking about it, he said: "Jewelry, house--"
House!
Xu Kai interrupted Chen Lin's words, he knew that Qiu Lei had never given up on Xiao Xiao, but he didn't know how much he liked it.
He instructed: "Go, check if there is any real estate in the second lady's name!" ā
The most dangerous place is the safest, who would have thought that Miss Xu Er would be imprisoned in her own house!
Chen Lin was noncommittal about this idea and immediately implemented it, of course, not through any formal means, but to let the group's technical experts directly hack into the cloud processor and the database of the real estate bureau.
It was late at night, Xiao Xiao knew that she couldn't drag it on, she couldn't open her eyes sleepily, but Qiu Lei still sat beside her, full of energy.
"Sleepy? Since we are sleepy, let's go upstairs and rest. The man grinned, revealing his snow-white teeth.
Xiao Xiao unconsciously remembered the appearance of him eating medium-rare steak.
Such teeth must be sharp.
Thinking of this, she began to slander for no reason again, when was this, she still had the heart to consider the sharpness of his teeth!
She was about to say something, but the person had already been picked up horizontally, and the man's voice sounded in her ears: "I said that I wouldn't touch you, but if you don't obey, that's another matter." ā
Xiao Xiao knew that Qiu Lei was not joking.
So, he let him carry himself into his bedroom.
The bedrooms are also luxuriously furnished, and the paintings on the walls alone are worth a lot of money.
The person was gently put down, and a smell of cologne perfume hit the world, and Xiao Xiao didn't like the smell on the sheet very much.
Soon, Qiu Lei lay down beside her, hugging her from behind, Xiao Xiao could feel the warmth in his lower abdomen and some rapid breathing in his neck.
She felt very uncomfortable.
Xu Kai also likes to hug her like this, but she never feels disgusted or wants to escape.
Is this the difference between loving and not loving?
"You are very smart and know that it is futile to resist, but -----" Qiu Lei suddenly pinched Xiao Xiao's chin, turned her face over, forced her eyes and said: "You are doing this just to not anger me, you are so afraid of what I will do to you?" ā
The pain of her jaw being pinched, Xiao Xiao frowned, the two of them were close to each other, she could feel a touch from somewhere, and the nausea hit again.
She resisted and didn't throw up.
"Qiu Lei, my stomach hurts a little, can you let me sleep?"
Qiu Lei hesitated for a moment before letting go of his hand, and the hot breath he exhaled still hit Xiao Xiao's neck, and he said, "Does it hurt badly?" It's good if the child is really gone. ā
Xiao Xiao turned her head, she gambled again, betting on her status in Qiu Lei's heart.
If Qiu Lei really cares about himself as he said, then he and his children are safe for the time being.
But if it's just a simple possession-have-desire, I'm afraid things won't be so simple.
However, judging from the past two days alone, it seems that he does not really want to take her child.
In this way, Xiao Xiao was a little relieved, in fact, she was just testing just now, and she didn't have a stomachache at all.
Since the other party believes it, let's continue to fool, she said in a slight tone: "--It's okay--- it's okay." ā
That doesn't sound very good.
In the twilight, the two fell silent one after another.
After a while, Qiu Lei grabbed her right hand and began to kiss her fingertips again, but she endured it without the slightest movement.
"Is this right hand really useless?" Qiu Lei asked tentatively, he only found out later.
Unexpectedly, if she didn't pay attention to it back then, she almost let Tang Xin kill her.
Xiao Xiao heard the slightest bit of guilt in the man's mouth, and said, "Well, it's wasted, I'm a waste now, are you happy?" ā
Qiu Lei thought she was angry, so he hugged her a little tighter, stroked her black hair, and said in a low voice: "It's really a waste, I don't need to spend so much energy to trap you." ā
