"You're back?"

Gu Tingshen stretched out his long arm and scooped her into his arms, ran his fingers through her hair, went around her neck to the back, lowered his head and kissed the corner of her lips, pressed her forehead and asked in a low voice, "Where are you going?" ”

Jiang Xiqian's breathing was a little unsteady by him, his ten fingers hanging on the side of his legs curled slightly, and his voice was soft and glutinous like a ball of marshmallows, "Well, I made an appointment with a friend for afternoon tea." ”

"Can I bring my family with me?" The man's warm breath brushed in his ears, and his long arms wrapped around her, hugging her slender waist from under his coat, and his voice was low and tight.

Jiang Xiqian closed his eyes and took a deep breath before pulling back his soul that was about to be bewitched by him to the point of sinking.

She reached out and straightened his collar, and her voice was gentle like a puddle of spring water, "No, baby, it's inconvenient to bring your family, wait for me to come back at home, Ang?" ”

Gu Tingshen was itched by the roots of her soft teeth, but he was reluctant to embarrass her at all, and only scared her fiercely, "I'll clean you up at night." ”

Jiang Xiqian drove to the place he had made an appointment with Tao Luowei.

I don't know if Tao Luowei is intentional or unintentional, this café is where she and Tao Luowei met for the first time.

As soon as Jiang Xi got out of the car, he saw the red coupe that Tao Luowei often drove.

It seems that people arrived before her.

Jiang Xiqian entered the café, and soon a beautiful waitress greeted her, Jiang Xiqian nodded politely at her, "I'll go to the box on the second floor to find someone, thank you." ”

The waiter guided her to the passage of the box on the second floor and retreated.

Jiang Xiqian arrived at the door of the box, took a deep breath, and pushed the door in.

As soon as I took a look, I saw Tao Luowei's figure sitting by the window.

The sense of alienation from the past is gone, and the long curly hair is tied up into a ponytail, which looks a little more energetic and angry.

It's just that the lonely temperament on her body, as well as the black turtleneck sweater on her body, makes the air around her a little heavy.

Tao Luowei heard the footsteps and turned her face around.

Her gaze, which was as silent as stagnant water, trembled after all when she saw Jiang Xiqian.

Tao Luowei saw her long hair and shawl, and a pair of smart and clear eyes, as if countless butterflies flew out, adding a bit of color to this lonely afternoon.

A light and elegant dress, minimalist and luxurious.

Jane's sense of design for the clothes complements her extravagant and high-end temperament.

She's beautiful.

The beauty is seductive, but it is quiet and introverted.

There is no vulgarity of the people in the market, nor is it arrogant and arrogant of the young lady.

Beauty may be just an expression for her.

Tao Luowei smiled self-deprecatingly.

Why didn't she dare admit it before?

Losing in the hands of such a woman doesn't seem so difficult to accept.

She once thought that she was crushing Jiang Xiqian in all aspects, but the truth is that she lost at the beginning of the comparison.

She doesn't have the pride and confidence that Jiang Xiqian naturally has, and she has never had it.

Jiang Xiqian took the bag off his shoulder and put it aside, and then sat down opposite Tao Luowei.

The silent air gradually filled the air with the scent of flowers, the fragrance of the delicate refreshments on the table.

I don't know how long the confrontation lasted, Tao Luowei suddenly laughed.

It's just that the smile looks a little bitter.

She stood up and poured Jiang Xiqian a cup of black tea, then sat back and leaned back in the chair, took a sip of her teacup, and said softly, "I'm leaving." ”

Jiang Xiqian nodded, with no expression on his face, "You already said it when you called yesterday." ”

She has no interest in Tao Luowei's going, as long as Tao Luowei doesn't interfere with her and Gu Tingshen's life, she can do anything.

Tao Luowei turned the teacup in her hand, and looked at Jiang Xiqian's eyes with a somewhat complicated look, "There are some things, I should say sorry to you." ”

Jiang Xi raised his eyebrows and looked at her without speaking.

Tao Luowei knew that she was waiting for her explanation, so she immediately smiled bitterly, and lowered her voice by a few decibels, "About the kidnapping of Jiang Chengyou......"

Jiang Xiqian waved his hand to interrupt her, "It's all over, and you are also forced by others, although I am not qualified to forgive you for Chengyou, but I can understand you." As for other things, I think the person you should apologize to is not me, but Gu Tingshen. ”

When it came to Gu Tingshen, Tao Luowei's expression, which could barely be maintained, cracked a little.

The color of pain gradually spread on her palm-sized face.

Many times, the collapse happens quietly.

Even a long, long time later, Jiang Xiqian can still clearly remember how the sun swept across Tao Luowei's pain-soaked face on this winter afternoon.

There is no doubt that it was a pretty face.

But it was so sad and gloomy that it was illuminated by the warm sun.

Large tears slipped from the corners of her eyes.

Jiang Xiqian took out a tissue and handed it to her, and Tao Luowei naturally took it.

She hung her head, and a pure white tissue wiped her face, gradually soaking in the smudge.

It seemed that it took a lot of effort for Tao Luowei to wipe away the tears from the bursting embankment, and then raised her head and blinked fiercely, completely forcing the tears back.

She took a deep breath, and her low voice suppressed the restlessness in her heart,

"It's because I'm too stupid and persistent, I dreamed of marrying him from a very young age, and it seems that that is the only ultimate goal in my life. He is a person with a cold personality, even if I have been following him for so many years, his attitude towards me has always been indifferent, if it weren't for your appearance, let me see a warm him, I may continue to deceive myself, thinking that he just doesn't like to express. ”

Tao Luowei smiled lonely, her eyes brushed over Jiang Xiqian, and continued, "What's not to like to express?" He just didn't meet the person he wanted to express. It was you who made him fall from the sky to the red dust, and this red dust is nothing bad for him, there are joys and angers, there are pains and joys. But for me, it's a kind of capital punishment. ”

Jiang Xiqian met her indignant gaze, his eyes drooped slightly, and the mobile phone screen lit up.

It was Gu Tingshen's WeChat: Is afternoon tea delicious?

Jiang Xi glanced at Tao Luowei, and then lowered his head and snorted: It's not delicious, it's a little bitter.

After clicking send, Jiang Xiqian put away the phone and motioned for Tao Luowei to continue.

Although Jiang Xiqian didn't say anything, or even make an expression, the happiness on her face spread from all around her.

is like a sharp thorn, deeply rooted in Tao Luowei's heart.

Even though she's decided to give up that pointless insistence, she still feels pain.

"I really like him, but now, I don't even have the right to tell him in front of him that I love him. I'm just a fake daughter of a wealthy family from an ordinary background, and I feel that even saying a word of love is an insult to him. ”

Jiang Xiqian's eyes swept around Tao Luowei's face, and he smiled faintly, "You love him, it is your right as a living individual, maybe you will be born with dignity and inferiority, and there will be wealth, but love will not, the reason why you feel that you don't match him to say love is because you vulgarize the word." ”

Philistinism.

Tao Luowei chewed on the word silently, but there was no way to deny it.

The Tao family is a wealthy family, she has been immersed in it since she was a child, and she has learned to be dignified and virtuous, quiet and far-reaching, but the vulgar snobbery revealed by the Tao family everywhere has long eroded every cell in her body.

In her concept, love is the right match, the continuation of the fusion of noble bloodlines.

But forget that her bloodline is not noble.

But what's the point of talking about it now?

"Anyway, what happened between me and Gu Tingye was not what I wanted, if I could start all over again, I would definitely love him from beginning to end with an innocent body and a pure heart, but unfortunately, after I left the Tao family, I could only kneel in my heart and confess day and night."

"What I repent of is not this love that has no beginning and no end, but my own life that I can't repeat. All about love and affection, in retrospect, everything can only make me ashamed and annoyed and painful. ”

"Jiang Xiqian, do you know? In fact, I really envy you, not because you can get his love, or be able to have him completely, but because you have been facing this relationship from beginning to end

Fearless, you will be full of pride to the thorns, you have the power to make yourself happy, and I don't. ”

"I'm leaving, maybe I won't see you again, no matter the past, I sincerely wish you happiness."

After Tao Luowei left, Jiang Xiqian sat alone in the box for a long time.

Outside the window, Tao Luowei's figure was gradually blurred by the light and shadow, and finally turned into a gorgeous red phantom and drove away from her life.

Jiang Xiqian didn't know until now what Gu Tingye had done to Tao Luowei.

She really couldn't imagine that the evil of human nature could be so despicable.

How hateful Tao Luowei's previous actions were, how pathetic they were in this emotional hunt.

Jiang Xiqian returned to Jinshuiwan, and it was close to dusk.

The vehicle drove into the villa, and Jiang Xiqian saw Gu Tingshen standing in the shade of the tree under the setting sun from a distance, standing tall and lonely.

Jiang Xiqian directly drove the car to Gu Tingshen's side.

As soon as the car stopped, the door was pulled open from the outside.

Jiang Xiqian got out of the car, Gu Tingshen naturally took the bag on her shoulder, and then glanced at her face with deep eyebrows, "What's the matter, afternoon tea is like this?" ”

"Well, it's really bitter." Jiang Xi's shallow and slightly cool hand was wrapped in his warm palm, and he let him lead him forward, but as soon as he raised his eyes, he saw his handsome face, and the depression in his heart retreated a lot.

Probably sensing that she was in a bad mood, Gu Tingshen asked her sideways, "Who did you see this afternoon?" ”

Jiang Xiqian stopped, pursed his lips and took a deep breath, "Tao Luowei." ”

In the blink of an eye, there was a strange atmosphere in the air.

This name, which has not appeared in each other's topics for a long time, seems to carry some kind of heavy memory.

Their eyes intertwined in the soft light and shadow of the setting sun, and then hurriedly staggered.

A few seconds later, Gu Tingshen tilted his head, was silent, and asked, "What did she say to you?" ”
