204: Vinegar King (2)
Qu Qingjia looked at the two of them with interest, the little girl was not in her mind, and the young man was jealous. In other words, he didn't do anything, and the little girl didn't show anything, what did this man who looked very handsome mind about? Qu Qingjia couldn't figure it out, and he didn't bother to think about it, so he simply buttoned Ji Hongye's hat as a vinegar king.
Seeing that Qu Qingjia didn't say anything, Nalan Jinxiu was also a little apprehensive. She didn't know if the master recognized herself, or rather, she couldn't sort out her thoughts, and her mind was a little confused.
Ji Hongye gradually ran out of patience, his eyebrows sank, and he finally withdrew his hand. Just when Qu Qingjia felt that this man who seemed to have a lot of status was going to say something to vent his emotions, he saw Ji Hongye hugging Nalan Jinxiu.
He hugged it quickly and heavily, Nalan Jinxiu felt a pain in his arm, and when he came back to his senses, he found that he had been hugged across his chest. She glared at him: "Third brother, what are you doing? Hurry up and let me down." ”
After that, he struggled a few times in his arms.
"Don't move. Ji Hongye hugged her, restrained the person expressionlessly, and his voice was a few degrees lower than usual: "I'll take you back." ”
The person in his arms gave up struggling, but his hands were still propped up on his chest, and his tone was a little reluctant: "Then you can't hug me in front of so many people, besides, I want to invite Mr. Qu to have lunch together, do you know that he has helped me a lot......"
"Shut up!" Ji Hongye's tone was a little more stern.
Nalan Jinxiu didn't dare to move when he yelled, and she realized that something was wrong with the third brother. She had just been immersed in her emotions, and now she realized that he was angry. She thought about what she had done excessively, but she couldn't think of anything, and she felt a little aggrieved for a while, how could he say that he would yell at her!
Nalan Jinxiu lowered his head and took a bite on his shoulder, which took a bit of strength. Ji Hongye only felt a pain in his shoulder, looked down at her, and saw that she buried her cheeks in his shoulder, staring at him with a pair of clear eyes. His anger was dumb, and the expression on his face was still a little stiff, but he couldn't help but bend his lips.
"Ji Hongye!" Nalan Jinxiu's voice suddenly sounded in his ears, it was originally menacing, but as soon as he met his eyes, he immediately weakened: "I'm hungry." ”
Dare to call his name, she really, rarely has such a fierce time, most of the time she is very obedient. Ji Hongye began to reflect on herself, whether she was too strict with her, but after thinking about it, she felt that maybe the discipline was not enough, otherwise how could she dare to smile at the son surnamed Qu.
Nalan Jinxiu vaguely guessed the reason why the third brother was angry, and she couldn't help but look up at him. The third brother usually has a gentle face, just the kind of person who looks very good at talking, but in fact, he has a lot of rules. But there are very few things that can make him angry, although she was yelled at inexplicably, she thought it was funny to make him change his face.
Seeing her staring at him with a pair of big black eyes, looking directly at him, Ji Hongye's voice was much softer: "Now I know that I am hungry, I just asked you to eat lunch, aren't you still pretending not to hear!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he put her on the ground. Nalan Jinxiu waited for himself to stand firm before he said: "What you said doesn't make sense, how can I pretend that I didn't hear it, when I don't react, it must mean that I didn't hear it!"
"Are you embarrassed to say you didn't hear it?" Ji Hongye said with a calm eyebrow.
"If you don't hear it, you don't hear it, what's there to be embarrassed about?"
Ji Hongye paused angrily by her before saying, "I just talk to you like this, why can't you hear it, what is going on in your head?"
As soon as he questioned like this, Nalan Jinxiu suddenly felt empty, she really didn't belong to her thoughts, so she didn't hear the words of the third brother. But she can't admit it, with her third brother's keenness, if she is caught by him a little, she will know her identity by the slightest cocoon.
That's amazing!
The alarm bell sounded in her heart, and she quickly replied: "I didn't think about anything, it's probably because your voice is too quiet, so I probably didn't hear it." ”
Nalan Jinxiu has a habit that when he lies, his eyes don't know where to look, and he keeps turning and turning. She may not know this little habit herself, but Ji Hongye is clear.
He already had nothing in his heart, but now seeing her like this, he was angry for no reason. He didn't understand, what was she hiding now? He was really fed up with her dishonest attitude, knowing that he had a knot in his heart waiting for her to untie it, but he talked about him left and right.
Neither of them spoke, and the silence was eeri.
Nalan Jinxiu was originally waiting for the third brother to continue asking, but who knew that he was silent. Her mind was spinning rapidly, what reason could she use to successfully convince the third brother to stop asking questions and not be suspicious. When she finally thought of a countermeasure, she found that the two had been relatively silent for a long time.
She was still thinking about how to break the silence, when she heard Ji Hongye laugh lowly, her tone was slow and slow: "You said my voice is too small, then you tell me how loud to say so that you can hear what I asked?"
Nalan Jinxiu felt that the third brother's tone was really weird, and he had never spoken to her in this tone. To say that his voice is still gentle, even a few beats slower than usual, it should be softer. But she just felt that something was wrong, as if there was an invisible pressure, which made her whole person completely frozen.
"Could it be that my voice is still small now, and you still can't hear it?" Ji Hongye asked her again in the same tone as just now.
Nalan Jinxiu's first reaction was to look up, she needed to determine what the expression on the third brother's face was now. Ji Hongye didn't want her to see it, he saw that Ji Xiaobai was not far away, and she didn't want to be left alone, so he sped up his steps.
Nalan Jinxiu saw that he was not going to care about her, where would he let it go easily? Suddenly trotted a few steps to catch up with him, holding his arm with both hands, and his voice was also emotional: "What are you angry about inexplicably?"
"Am I inexplicable?"
"You...... I'm ......" Nalan Jinxiu stuttered for a while, not knowing what to say.
"I just want to ask you, are you willing to marry me, or do you have no other choice?"
Ji Hongye's eyebrows were very cold and hard. Nalan Jinxiu was originally holding the hand of his arm, because of this sentence gradually let go. She looked up at him, wanting to repeat his words, to ask him what he meant by that, so she asked carefully, "You say...... What?"
"Heh......" he chuckled, "Is it because I speak too quietly?" Then I'll repeat again, you agreed to marry me because there was no better choice!"
Ji Hongye's voice this time was finally not so slow, but it was two degrees higher than usual, faintly oppressive. It's obviously the simplest question, but when he says it, he has a sense of slaughter, which makes people shudder.
Nalan Jinxiu had a roar in her ears, she wanted to be an ostrich in her heart, she wanted to hide herself, but the stubbornness in her bones refused to give up easily. She opened a pair of black and white eyes, looked at him fixedly, and asked, "What do you think?"
When she asked this, she laughed to herself. She has long been notorious in northern Xinjiang, and even if she has the status of a county lord, she can only be assigned to those gentlemen who have a bad reputation. What's more, she is not even a county lord now, how can she be worthy of this world-famous Ji Ge Lao? He is a person who is worthy of even a princess.
She has always felt that it is not easy for her to live again, she must live with dignity, she can't ask for help, and she can't easily show weakness. But why did she give up her heart again? Her heart suddenly felt a little breathless, she wanted to abandon all this, even if it was a wandering doctor on the rivers and lakes, it would be much easier than carrying it. But there is still a voice shouting in her heart, maybe she should be more clear with the third brother.
"yes, that's what I think now. Ji Hongye said something against his will, it was his pride that was causing trouble.
Nalan Jinxiu was really afraid to talk to him like this, she suddenly understood the words that were spread in the market, and her third brother did have terrifying power in his bones. He has always treated her gently, so he gave her the illusion that the third brother is actually very good at talking and has a gentle temperament. Before she realized what she was supposed to do, she had already covered her ears with both hands.
Ji Hongye became even more angry when she saw her appearance, what was her reaction, didn't she want to listen to him? Then what was she doing when she caught up with her? He originally wanted to suppress his temper, but suddenly he didn't want to suppress it, he pulled down the two hands that covered her ears, and the coercion in his tone was even worse: "You don't want to listen to what I said, you dare to cover your ears?"
"I ......" Nalan Jinxiu didn't know how to explain what he did just now. She was a little panicked and a little blocked. She felt that she and her third brother had always been cautious, listening to him and acting according to his face, which made her feel very bad.
Ji Hongye took a deep breath, and there was an almost crazy thought growing in his heart, that is, he was honest with each other, and the person he protected like a jewel refused to even tell him the truth. She hasn't had this problem for a day or two, and he has been telling himself that as long as he is a little more patient and tolerates her more, Ah Jin will trust him wholeheartedly one day.
Now, they are both about to get married, and she is still so wary of him. He had a conscience feeling that he had been fed to a dog, which made him very uncomfortable and intolerable. He chuckled lightly and said coldly: "Xu Jinsheng, look at me, do you really not understand, or pretend not to understand!"
