Jing Yi was stunned, and before he could answer, he let go of her hand and flicked it on her cheeks, and the small hair curls that fell from her ears flew up.

"What do you mean, Makiyuki?" She looked at him and asked.

The 61st word on the desk rang, and Tao Xiang got up to pick it up. Jing Yi's eyes followed him, and he saw that he answered the phone 61 words, said "let him in", and put down the earpiece. With his back to her, he lit a cigarette and did not turn around immediately.

"Makiyuki, what did you mean by what you just said?" She asked. The tip of the heart seemed to have a fire, and suddenly a handful of ice chips were sprinkled, and it was sizzling.

"Fei Yuming sent his secretary to deliver something to me. It's quite important that you don't have to be here. Go up. Tao Xiang turned around and looked at Jing Yidao.

Jingyi was stunned.

Tao Xiang leaned against the table and looked at her.

The flame of the lighter flashed with a small snap, and a small light reflected his angular face. His eyes were bright...... The flame was extinguished.

There must have been something in what he said just now, she did have a heart disease, but she couldn't be mistaken. At this time, Fei Yuming sent a secretary to ...... It would be false to say that she was not flustered. His uncertainty made her more and more uneasy. But she couldn't say anything more, for fear that he was not suspicious, but became suspicious.

"Oh, let's talk, I'll go up first." She whispered.

Tao Xiang watched her get up, packed her things and was about to go out, and stopped her again, saying, "Be careful when you go out in the future." If you drive yourself, you should have someone to follow you. ”

She looked at him.

"Okay." She said, opening the door and going out.

When I went upstairs, I looked at the door, but there was no one. It wasn't until I stayed upstairs for a while that I heard a slight movement. She paced back and forth, Qiu Wei and the white lion guarding the side, their eyes swaying from side to side with her steps...... She finally stood still. So uneasy, so tormented...... If Tao Xiang knows, I don't know what will happen.

When she looked into his eyes, it was as if she was being forced to ask by him. She was on the verge of saying it.

She seemed to have embarked on a path of no return, and she didn't know how to go down...... She shuddered.

"Miss, the tea is cold." Qiu Wei reminded Jingyi.

Jingyi walked around, the corners of her robe fluttering, and she was dizzy.

"Would you like to add another piece of clothing, miss?" Qiu Wei asked her.

Jingyi shook her head.

She bit her fingertips. A little gold dangled on her ring finger, and she looked at the ring. Then she put her hand over the ring in distraught.

She will confess to Tao Xiang. But now is not the time.

"Is there a letter today?" She asked.

Qiu Wei nodded hurriedly and ran to bring a stack of letters to Jingyi.

Jingyi took it and looked at it. The others were all family letters, and only one was an invitation letter from the second young grandmother of the Shui family inviting her to attend the opening ceremony of a Western restaurant. She took a closer look, and the western restaurant was opened in the bustling area in the east of the city.

"Another Western restaurant opened." Jingyi put the invitation aside and said.

The second young grandmother of the Shui family is keen on business. She is a very shrewd woman.

"Are you going?" Qiu Wei asked. Usually if Jingyi doesn't go, he will have to send a flower basket to the venue.

"Go." Jingyi replied.

She opened a letter, sat down, and read it.

Qiu Wei saw that her face was not very good, and asked, "Miss, is there anything going on at home?" ”

Jing Yi grabbed the letter and turned to go downstairs.

She stood at the corner of the stairs, and Qiu Wei ran down with her, and she booed softly. The door of the study happened to open, Tao Xiang sent the guests out, and walking in front was a man in a long robe—the man turned around and bowed goodbye to Tao Xiang, and was sent out by Ma Xingjian—Tao Xiang stood for a while, and when he turned to go back to the study, he found Jingyi on the stairs—he frowned, saw her calmly come down, and asked, "Why haven't you rested yet?" ”

"I'll wait for you. Is anyone leaving? Jing Yi said, walking quickly towards Tao Xiang.

Tao Xiang looked out and said, "It's Fei Yuming's confidential secretary Huang Fang, who just left." ”

Jing Yi's ears buzzed, and when she looked at Tao Xiang, she almost forgot what she was going to say.

Tao Xiang looked at her

She stood closer, looked up at him, and said, "Look at this letter." ”

The letter was written by Hui An. It was sent from Nanjing 10 days ago. After his mother fell ill, Hui'an accompanied her in Nanjing.

"Mother is sick. The ninth sister-in-law was worried. Mother won't let us tell us. Jingyi whispered, Tao Xiang walked to the study while reading the letter, and she followed in.

Tao Xiang looked at her and asked, "Do you want to go back and see?" ”

Jingyi said: "I know that my father's body is also recovering, and it is not appropriate to leave at this time...... But I ......."

Tao Xiang said: "The eldest sister is also back, it's not impossible for you to leave." It stands to reason that I should go along. ”

Jing Yi almost relieved in a breath, looked at him, and said, "I'll go back and visit first, okay?" I thought, or maybe it was just a matter of adaptation. My mother was used to it in Beiping, and when she first arrived in the south, she was not used to it for a while. If it's serious, you might have to go...... But now that you're so busy, how can you get out? Then I'...... Tell your mother tomorrow, okay? ”

Tao Xiang handed the letter back to Jingyi.

Du Shi has been in poor health recently, and he has also heard about it.

"In that case, let's go back." He said. Pick up something from the desk and give it to Jing Yi, "Father Joseph needs a special pass, I'll ...... later"

Jing Yi threw the letter in his hand to the side, stretched out his arm and hugged Tao Xiang. Her face was pressed against his chest, almost crying, and she whispered, "Thank you." ”

He stroked her hair.

It's grown a lot, and the ends of my hair are up to my neck...... A thin chain hung from her white neck, and he reached out and picked it up. The jade pendant took her body temperature and lay in the palm of his hand.

"Mother treats me well...... I'm afraid of any regrets. She looked at the white jade in his palm, as smooth as the moon.

Tao Xiang put down the jade pendant.

"Makino," she sensed his uneasiness, "you won't blame me, will you?" ”

Tao Xiang asked in a low voice, "What do you blame?" ”

"What if...... If you need me to stay, I'll stay. I'm supposed to be by your side. She said.

Tao Xiang laughed silently. He held her little chin and made her look at himself. Whispering, he whispered in her ear, "I don't want you to be there, not there." ”

His words were fluttering, and when he was finished, he took her in his arms and hugged her.

Dizzy, she held his shoulders and tried to see his eyes, but she couldn't see ...... It's too late to see clearly.

He was a bit fierce later, and somehow, she always felt that he wanted to tear her apart. Pain is extreme, but so is happiness, but such extreme emotions are like alternating torture of ice and fire......

She lay beside him exhausted, his arms around her neck, both sweating, the roof fan whirring, the light breeze stirring and chilling. She almost shuddered, but he hugged her tighter, and the jade pendant slid down and stopped between the gaps between their bodies.

"Pastikyuki." She could feel the weight of the pendant at this time. It's been on her for more than three years, and it's like it's become a part of her body, and she often ignores it.

He slid his hand on her shoulder, caressing, but didn't speak.

"Mother...... Did I tell you anything at that time? She asked.

His hand stopped.

Jingyi seemed to be able to hear the sound of blood passing through the atrium, thin, but the tide was surging.

Tao Xiang cleared his throat and asked, "Why do you suddenly want to know this?" ”

Jingyi said, "I miss her." ”

"I didn't say anything special, just let me take good care of you." Tao Xiang said.

Jingyi actually didn't believe it, but since Tao Xiang didn't want to say it, she didn't ask any more.

She closed her eyes and listened to his even breathing...... Thinking he was asleep, she slowly raised her head, carefully braced her arms, and leaned over to look at him. His outline was not clear in the darkness, but she looked at it for a long time.

She approached him gently, clearly trying to put a kiss on his lips, but stopped when she was only an inch away from him.

She didn't know that Tao Xiang was not asleep.

He opened his eyes as she slipped out of bed lightly.

The warmth around him remained, and the fragrance of her body surrounded him softly, as if she had not left...... He got up, too, and walked through the bedroom, and through the crack in the hidden door, saw her crouching on the ground, under a soft lamp, to the white lion, as if she were saying something—he couldn't make out what she was saying, but her tone was sad......

The next day, Jingyi took the time to go to the opening ceremony of the newly invested Western restaurant by the second young grandmother of the Shui family.

The opening ceremony was very simple, and the people who were invited were all friends of the second young grandmother of the Shui family. Although the restaurant occupies a small area, the decoration is exquisite, and there are many people who come, which seems a little crowded. Jingyi sent a flower basket to congratulate her early, and when she arrived, she inevitably had some politeness. She knows most of the people who come here, and when the second young grandmother of the Shui family wants to be the general entertainer and has no time to take care of her, she is in the midst of the guests, and she is not lonely.

The second young grandmother of the Shui family traveled extensively, and there were also newspaper reporters invited. It was rare to see Jingyi on such an occasion, and the reporter thought it was a rare opportunity for an interview, and always tried to approach her and ask a few questions. Jingyi never accepts interviews with reporters in private, and Qiu Wei, who was following her, stopped the reporters in time.

Most of the reporters are very knowledgeable and understand the rules. Commander Tao's wife doesn't accept interviews, and even if they do, they may get into trouble, so it's better to save the effort to write something else. Only one young female reporter grinds her teeth with Qiu Wei after the others walk away, trying to accommodate her so that she can get close to Jingyi.

Dear Drop Everyone,

Good morning! It's still the old rule to come back and change every morning.
