Chapter 20: True and Deep Fate (5)
Jingyi asked, "I seem to remember that the schedule has been quite tight in the past few days, why did I come back so early?" β
"The ambassador contracted a cold last night, and he was really exhausted. Just as it was easy to persevere at the parliamentarians' forum, Makiyuki arranged for a doctor to come and treat him. All the trips were cancelled in the afternoon. Flawless explained, looking at Jingyi, "Are you uncomfortable?" Why is the face like this? β
"Not really." Jing Yi said with a smile. looked flawless, "Second cousin, I really miss you." β
As she spoke, her soft arms were flawless, and her voice was low, but gripping.
"Nothing to do...... It's such an adult, and I've been a wife for several years, so let's be serious. Flawless rubbed her arms and pushed Jingyi away, but her smiling eyes betrayed her, obviously very useful to Jingyi's coquettishness. If I don't come here, I don't know if it's really as you said, it's really cold in the morning and evening, and I'm almost cold. β
Jingyi whispered, "It's better to have a good summer here. The heat is hot, but it's not very unbearable...... The good news is that melons and fruits are the sweetest. Sometimes I can't help but feel that the sweetness is too much. β
"Where would anyone be too sweet?" Flawless asked with a smile.
The sisters chatted as they walked, wearing the same light-colored dresses and sunhats, and walked in the tree-lined courtyard, laughing and whispering, like a cool picture scroll in the hot summer...... When Tao Xiang saw them appear, it was such a scene.
Jin Biquan touched Tao Xiang and said with a smile: "I'm stunned, Muzhi." β
Tao Xiang glanced at him and said, "Where." β
Bi Quan laughed, alarming the two beauties who had just stepped into the verandah. Tao Xiang from afar also saw that Jingyi, who was still coquettish to Flawless a moment ago, found them, and quickly returned to a dignified appearance. When he looked at her again, she looked like a noblewoman...... Tao Xiang sent the teacup to his lips, and when he drank the tea, a trace of laughter was fleeting.
He still looks mild, and Bi Quan thinks this is even more interesting when he sees it. It's just that in front of the ambassador and his wife, it was inconvenient to joke arbitrarily, so he patted Tao Xiang's shoulder and said in a low voice: "If you knew that there was really today, where would there be those branches that slipped out of the side." Even us, we couldn't imagine that Xiao Shi would be your wife and do so well. β
Tao Xiang paused and did not say anything.
Bi Quan got up and said with a smile: "Mrs. is here, why don't you get up quickly to greet her." It's time to fight, it's time to fight! Rub"
Tao Xiang put the teacup down and said with a smile: "In the past, I was just a lady at home, but now I am a lady outside?" β
"If Madame is happy, I will be happy, why not?" Bi Quan saw Tao Xiang teasing him, and he was not annoyed, so he rolled and stubble, which made Tao Xiang really laugh.
The Ambassador, Mr. Fontaine, was gossiping with his wife, and when he heard the two of them laughing, he asked what was the matter. Biquan explained to Mr. Fang Dan, and even his wife laughed together, so when Jingyi and Flawless came closer, the four people present were all smiling.
Jingyi stood beside Tao Xiang, and Biquan formally introduced her to the ambassador and his wife.
Jingyi explained her intention and presented the invitation.
Madame Fontaine invited Jingyi to sit down, poured her tea herself, looked at her for a while, turned to smile at Tao Xiang, and then said to him in a very unfluent Chinese: "Mr. Tao has a very elegant wife. β
"Thank you." Tao Xiang replied with a slight smile. He helped Jingyi's waist. Jing Yi was sitting next to him a little restrained because the two of them were awkward, and his body stiffened by a small movement.
Madame Fontaine looked at it and asked with a smile, "Mr. Tao has annoyed Mrs. Tao." β
Flawless sat down and looked at Jingyi narrowly.
"Yes, my wife is angry with me." Tao Xiang said in a low voice.
Jing Yi couldn't help but turn her face away, her face flushed, and when she saw Tao Xiang looking at herβsure enough, not only with a slight smile in her voice, but also in his beautiful eyesβshe gritted her teeth.
Madame Fontaine smiled and said, "Don't be angry with him for too long. Good times are rare, and they are wasted on anger, not to punish him, but to live up to themselves. β
She said these words in French.
Although Jingyi couldn't understand it, she also felt that the syllables seemed to slip out of the tip of her tongue, so beautiful...... Tao Xiang looked at her and translated it to her word by word.
Jingyi smiled and said, "Yes, madam, what you said makes a lot of sense. But when you get angry, the good times have changed into bad times, where can you take care of anything else. She glanced at Tao Xiang and motioned for him to translate to Madame Fontaine, but Tao Xiang did not comply.
Madame Fontaine looked at the two of them and smiled very happily. She whispered a few words to her husband, then turned to them and said that it was almost time to start the table. She said that she got up first and brought the guests to their seats.
Flawless took Biquan's arm, looked back at Tao Xiang and Jingyi who were standing in one place, frowned, and said angrily: "You two enemies." β
"Madame, ma'am, let's go first." Bi Quan pulled away Flawless with a smile, and quietly turned back and smiled at Jing Yi, "Come over quickly." β
Jingyi saw them enter the house, and since they wanted to leave lunch, they must go in together. She didn't look at Tao Xiang either, she raised her feet and was about to leave. Tao Xiang grabbed her arm and whispered, "Wait a minute." β
"I'll talk about it when I get home." Jing Yi also whispered.
Tao Xiang asked, "Don't you hide from me?" β
Jing Yi looked up at him.
Tao Xiang's face has long lost the slight smile just now, and has been replaced by a deep, serious and serious to the point of being a bit stereotyped.
It can be seen that it was all made to show people, she was in a bad mood, and he was even worse...... She nodded.
Tao Xiao took her hand, put it on his arm, and said, "Go in." β
Jingyi was held down by him, and besides, here, she could only maintain the most harmonious appearance, so she smiled and said, "I can't stay too long, I have to go back to take care of Lin'er." β
"Of course." Tao Xiang looked at her, "I also have official duties." I'll go back for dinner. β
Jingyi nodded.
They were only delayed for a moment, and when they entered the restaurant, the ambassador and Biquan had just taken their seats.
Jing Yi sat next to the ambassador, who took care of Jing Yi and consciously conversed with her in English.
"What does Madame Tao like most about France?" Mr. Fontaine asked Jingyi with a smile.
Jingyi thought for a moment and replied, "Freedom and passion." β
Tao Xiang was on the side, just took the dish from the plate and looked at Jingyi. Her answer surprised Mr. Fontaine, but not him. He turned his eyes and saw that Biquan and Flawless were listening, forgetting to talk.
"I put this question to ten ladies, five of whom speak of French perfume, four of whom speak of French fashion, and one of whom is half-concealed and who confesses that he likes the romance of French men," said Mr. Fontaine. Mrs. Tao, you are so different. β
Jingyi smiled and said, "I also like perfume." β
Madame Fontaine chuckled softly, "Mrs. Tao seems to be using 'One Thousand and One Nights'? β
Jing Yi was stunned for a moment and said with a smile: "It's a little ...... This essence is too stubborn, I just dipped it a little bit. β
She shook her right hand as if the essence was something real, and it was on her hand...... Like a ghost, the fragrance followed wherever she went, and once reminded, the scent became more and more intense.
