048. Estrangement
The two didn't say much in the car, Qin Mo wanted to talk to Jin Tang, but he didn't know how to speak, even if he did, it would be an awkward conversation, because Jin Tang would always end the topic directly.
He simply didn't speak, anyway, he felt that the two of them were in the same space, and it was good even if they didn't speak.
It's just that when Jin Tang goes back, when he faces Zhao Zhiruo, he will change his face, well-behaved, cute, playful and lively.
Qin Mo also hoped that Jin Tang would face him with this face, and he suddenly remembered that Jin Tang had this expression on himself most of the time before, and he was very cute when he was occasionally angry, which formed a sharp contrast with his indifferent and alienated attitude now.
How coaxing Jin Tang was in the past, he would not have a cold war with himself, he missed the previous Jin Tang very much, but he didn't hate the current Jin Tang.
The thoughts in his heart were very strange and contradictory, he hoped that Jin Tang would retain his true nature and occasionally quarrel with himself and have a cold face, but in the end, he would still be the same as before, and he would get back together with himself if he coaxed him.
He wanted to get back the previous Jin Tang, although he didn't understand women, he was good at analyzing and summarizing, and he felt that the two of them were mainly because of Chu Xiaowan.
Qin Mo decided that when he saw Chu Xiaowan in the future, he would immediately avoid it, or ignore it directly if he was not a gentleman, and he must not have any more intersections, which would make Jin Tang unhappy.
As soon as Jin Tang came back, he went into the kitchen, talking and laughing with Zhao Zhiruo, Qin Mo sat on the sofa in the living room, stretching out his head to look in from time to time.
He also tried to blend in, but Jin Tang didn't give him this opportunity at all, and directly said that there was a lot of smoke inside and asked him to wait outside.
Qin Mo had no choice but to leave the kitchen dejectedly, and then go back to the study to deal with his work.
After all, work can still make him happy.
After dinner, Zhao Zhiruo washed some fruit, then took out the new pajamas she had prepared, and said that since it was a rest day, let Jin Tang stay here at night.
Jin Tang glanced at Qin Mo, but Qin Mo just kept swiping his phone, as if he didn't hear it.
Jin Tang didn't know whether Qin Mo was really handling her work seriously or pretending, she couldn't help but reach out and touch Qin Mo's leg to remind him, but unexpectedly, Qin Mo naturally freed up a hand to hold herself.
WhatοΌ
Jin Tang turned his head speechlessly and looked at Qin Mo, but Qin Mo continued to look down at his mobile phone.
Jin Tang took into account Zhao Zhiruo's presence, so he didn't pull back his hand strongly, in short, he couldn't beat Zhao Zhiruo in the end and was forced to stay.
Jin Tang accompanied Zhao Zhiruo to watch a family ethics drama, and Zhao Zhiruo saw that Jin Tang was not interested, so she asked Jin Tang to wash and rest first.
Zhao Zhiruo waited for her to go upstairs, then turned off the TV in the living room and walked up to the second floor quickly.
She entered Qin Mo's study, and then whispered to Qin Mo: "Tang Tang is taking a bath." β
"......" Qin Mo raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Tsk, you...... You also go up and wash. β
Qin Mo: "......"
What a tiger and wolf word this is!
Qin Mo was a little suspicious that his queen mother might have downloaded some novel APP, read brainless romance novels or idol dramas every day, and fantasized about his son as a domineering president.
Zhao Zhiruo saw that Qin Mo was actually blushing, she reached out and held Qin Mo's face in disbelief and said, "My son is actually blushing, you are actually shy, hahaha...... I've never seen ......."
Qin Mo dodged Zhao Zhiruo's hand, frowned and said, "You are so old, why are you still so unorthodox." β
Zhao Zhiruo stopped laughing and complained: "What are you thinking, why am I not doing it properly, I didn't let you wash with Tangtang, I asked you to go to sleep quickly, work will be busy tomorrow." β
Qin Mo was silent for a moment, and then refused: "No, I'm done with my work, and I can accompany you on my day off." β
"You, you mean, you're not going to the company tomorrow?" Zhao Zhiruo looked at Qin Mo in surprise.
"Hmm."
Zhao Zhiruo patted Qin Mo and said with a look of relief: "Yo, it's rare, son, you should have been like this a long time ago." β
Zhao Zhiruo thought about it and felt a little inappropriate, she asked uneasily: "Son, you have only been back to China for a long time, and the company has just been established, you used to work overtime every day in New York, is it really okay not to go now?" β
"It's okay, there's Tang Lincong staring at it. I should also give him more overtime, so that he can make trouble for me if he is fine. Qin Mo still remembered the revenge he had for stuffing Chu Xiaowan into his car last time.
Zhao Zhiruo said: "Lin Cong's kid is very good, you used to tutor him often, he has a lot of ideas and is very clever, he seems to be a good man, but in fact, he is down-to-earth and hardworking, and he is very honest, don't always squeeze others." β
"Honest?" Qin Mo smiled, "He's still honest?" β
"He just doesn't look reliable, he used to follow you all the time, eating at our house every day, and Xiao Chu grew up watching me, and he didn't have a bad heart."
Qin Mo responded: "It's just that the vision is not good." β
Zhao Zhiruo immediately asked, "What's the matter, what's wrong with his vision?" Doesn't he have a partner yet? β
"What I said casually......" Qin Mo couldn't help but remind, "Mom, if you stay here, I really have to stay up all night." β
"Okay, okay, I don't ask, I won't bother you, Mr. Qin." Zhao Zhiruo muttered out of Qin Mo's study.
ββ
Jin Tang was lying on the soft and comfortable bed, she looked at the time of her mobile phone, it was almost ten o'clock.
Isn't Qin Mo ready to rest? I don't know how long I'm going to be busy.
Wait, why did she wait for Qin Mo?! They don't sleep together, and they are not really married, so why should they play the role of wives.
Her idea is dangerous!
This can't be done, she obviously made it clear to Qin Mo last time that she would not have other feelings with him, just for the sake of Zhao Zhiruo's body, temporarily pretending to be husband and wife.
Although she couldn't let go of Qin Mo in her heart, she still had reason.
She clearly knew that Qin Mo was not her ideal partner.
If she is with Qin Mo, she will have to bear the loneliness and pain caused by falling in love alone in the years to come.
She felt that just relying on her liking for Qin Mo and Zhao Zhiruo's care, she would definitely not be able to maintain their relationship for a long time.
Qin Mo has no heart, he won't hurt, but he has a heart, and he is even more afraid of pain.
When Qin Mo finished his work, it was already past twelve o'clock, and he saw that Jin Tang was already asleep, and he was afraid of waking her, so he lightly took his pajamas and went to take a bath in the bathroom on the second floor.
After that, he returned to the bedroom on the third floor, got into bed lightly, and lay down beside Jin Tang.
Jin Tang occupied the whole bed, fortunately the bed was big enough, Qin Mo lay on the side of the bed, and then held Jin Tang's hand, his fingers were interlocked, and his palm was close to her palm, Qin Mo felt stable and warm in his heart.
He likes this feeling, he feels that he must not miss Jin Tang in his life, otherwise it should be difficult to find a partner who can make him feel so warm and make him feel at ease.
However, Jin Tang said last time that she didn't love herself anymore, and said that she would never have feelings for herself again, which is a very serious problem.
Therefore, he must find a way to make Jin Tang fall in love with him again, or in other words, he can't do without himself.
Fortunately, Jin Tang is at least still by his side now, and he still has time to find a way to keep her forever.
With his strong learning ability and smart brain, it was a matter of time before Jin Tang fell in love with him again.
