At nine o'clock in the evening, Lin Xiran came out of the Ling building with his bag, and observed the surroundings vigilantly from time to time.

The light of the few emergency passages in the dark underground parking lot made people a little creepy, Lin Xiran quickened the pace of his feet and walked towards the car in a panic.

Closing the door and sitting in the driver's seat, I let out a breath of turbid air with my nerves relaxed, and I heard it before my body was completely relaxed.

"If you're timid, don't work overtime so late."

After thinking for a while, he slowly turned his body and looked at the direction where the voice came from in surprise, only to see that his eyes suddenly lit up, and there was a familiar face in the back seat.

"Why are you here?"

Looking at Xu Mo in front of him with surprise, how could he be here at this time? Wait, this is her car, and how is he sitting in the back seat.

Xu Mo, who was a little tired from holding the mobile phone, simply turned on the flashlight and put the mobile phone aside, and finally locked his eyes on the clear five finger prints on her cheek as the light looked.

He raised his eyes and said, "Director Lin, who is still injured in overtime?" ”

When it was mentioned again, Lin Xiran looked embarrassed, the reason why she chose this time to walk out of the office was because she didn't want this matter to be publicized, and she didn't want to be looked at by others in a strange way.

Now that he was still seen, he stared at the steering wheel with his eyes down and said in a faint tone: "You came to me, is there anything wrong?" ”

I wanted to change the topic, but I didn't want Xu Mo behind her to look at her at the moment, his eyes became colder, and he turned his face to look out of the car window and didn't know what he was looking at, and he didn't mean to leave at all.

After a minute of stalemate, Lin Xiran had no choice but to start, and she really couldn't hold on after not eating for a whole afternoon.

I didn't want the car to start before I had time to leave the parking space, so I heard a voice from behind me: "I'll drive." ”

Then hearing the movement of the rear door being opened, Lin Xiran did not stalemate anymore and followed his meaning, turned around and walked to the co-pilot.

didn't want to speak, didn't want to look at his cold and frozen face, Lin Xiran simply leaned on the seat and pretended, thinking that since he was willing to wait for her here, there must be something wrong.

And at this moment, he happened to be in a bad mood, and she didn't want to ask more, so it was better to keep quiet for a while.

She just didn't want to fall asleep in a trance, and when she opened her eyes again, it was in the last hotel, to be precise, in the suite of the last hotel.

Momentarily, I didn't understand Xu Mo's intention to bring her here, according to outside rumors, this is a hotel where he usually lives, and it is said that he doesn't have any real estate in his name but lives in various star hotels all year round.

There are also some boring people who say that the reason why he likes to stay in hotels is because he has some kind of special fetish.

got up and came to the living room to look for his figure, and finally saw him in front of the study door with the bright light, he sat politely at the desk with golden eyes, and he looked wise and warm under the light, unlike any time in the usual day.

This kind of quiet sitting there can warm others, and Lin Xiran can't help but think of him many years ago, with a sunny smile on the corner of his mouth, even when answering questions between classes.

At that time, he was always so gentle, the smartest student in the whole grade, and her only friend and tablemate.

She lost count of the number of times she had looked at him secretly, looking at how many teeth he showed every time he smiled, and how long his slender fingers were.

"You're awake, I booked a late-night snack at the front desk, and they'll deliver it when you call."

Xu Mo, who was disturbed by his sight, raised his head to look at Lin Xiran and said, without the slightest reproach for her peeking just now.

On the contrary, Lin Xiran peeked at the panicked face of the captured bag, grabbed a water cup and pretended to be very thirsty and drank water desperately, not noticing the surprise in Xu Mo's eyes at all.

"That, the cup..." is mine.

Seeing that the other party refused to let go, Xu Mo simply turned around and picked up the phone to notify the front desk to deliver the food, and the tips of his ears were a little unnaturally red.

"What did you just say?"

Lin Xiran, who had a whole glass of water in his stomach, reacted, just now he didn't know what he said, looked at Xu Mo and asked.

"Uh, nothing."

Xu Mo looked away, closed the notebook, came to the sofa and sat down, deliberately hiding the embarrassment in her heart, but the sweetness she drank with the water cup just now kept coming to her mind.

The air in the room seemed to be a little oppressive, which made both of them a little unnatural, as if they had been enchanted for a moment.

didn't want to continue to be embarrassed, Lin Xiran said without words: "You were writing a new idea just now?" ”

"Hmm."

"By the way, you came to the Ling clan to look for me before, but what's the matter?"

Referring to this incident, Lin Xiran wanted to ask even more why he brought her here instead of sending her back to the apartment, and then thought that maybe he couldn't bear to call her because he saw her asleep.

So she asked the previous question directly, thinking that if there was nothing to do, after supper, they would go back to their respective homes.

Xu Mo glanced at Lin Xiran in a complicated manner, his eyes stayed on the redness and swelling of her cheeks again, and he asked in a light tone, "Who beat her?" ”

When the things that had been forgotten were brought up again, Lin Xiran looked at his toes with embarrassed eyes, and whispered like a child who had done something wrong: "This may be a misunderstanding." ”

The reason why he said this was because listening to the tone of what he said, Lin Xiran was a little worried about whether he would go to An Xiaomei on impulse, and she couldn't tell what the basis for this possibility was.

But he faintly felt that Xu Mo didn't intend to let go of the other party, and the eyes he looked at her cheek were also extremely cold.

"So it is Mr. Ling's new fiancée, it seems that Miss An's temper is hot enough."

Lin Xiran, who was a little irritable by him, raised his head and said, "It's a misunderstanding!" ”

made the originally relaxed atmosphere awkward again, until the arrival of the dining car, the two did not talk a word, Lin Xiran thought that maybe he was angry again, but she didn't want to explain anything.

"Resign from the Ling Clan, it's no longer suitable for you to stay."

After the waiter left, Xu Mo leaned lazily on the sofa and said, just now he recalled the cause and effect of tonight's incident and the various deeds of Ling's stock in his notebook showed that those people had already made a move.

And the marriage between Ling Hao and An Dong's daughter will only bring danger to Lin Xiran, if she is jealous and hateful, she is afraid that she will become a victim.

Lin Xiran, who put down the soup spoon in his hand, raised his eyebrows and glanced at Xu Mo, pulled the corners of his mouth and said mockingly: "Why, is it because of Ling Hao's engagement?" ”

Too many people have said the same thing to her recently, and she really doesn't understand why everyone told her to run away, can't she be a lover or even a colleague.

Or is it that in their eyes, Lin Xiran is just a poor worm who will cling to men, and he is simply stupid!

"Not exactly, I just don't want to see you in too much pain."

Xu Mo couldn't tell why he said this, his original words should have been said, it was because of Ling Hao's engagement, because he didn't want to see her sad again and again, but when he said it, he still changed his words because of Lin Xiran's emotions.

picked up a piece of pork ribs and put it in front of her, and said in a light tone: "Isn't it, you have lost weight recently." ”

Such a soft tone made Lin Xiran unable to refuse, took the ribs and took a bite to think about it and said, "But changing jobs is not something that can be done in a moment, let me think about it." ”

Xu Mo didn't say anything, just picked up the pair of chopsticks that belonged to him and ate a few bites at random, picking up his mobile phone from time to time to observe the situation over there.

"If there's nothing to do, I'll go back to the apartment first."

Lin Xiran got up after eating and said, it didn't matter if he came to find her, otherwise it would not have been possible to have time to play with his mobile phone but didn't say anything.

"Wait, you just live here, I still have some manuscripts to catch up at night, it's not safe to go back too late."

Hearing that she was going back, Xu Mo hurriedly got up and said, he already understood the situation on the phone just now, and she really couldn't go back at this time.

Then he pressed the remote control on the side to lock the door of the room, pointed to the bedroom and said, "Go ahead, go to bed early." ”

Lin Xiran, who had just taken two steps and turned back with some doubts, thought about it and said, "You don't want to kidnap me, Xu Mo?" ”

Of course, this possibility is meaningless, Lin Xiran knows that there must be something wrong with him doing this suddenly, but the kidnapping is not a bad person, and he is still a public figure with a face.

But it is embarrassing to think about such a lonely man and widow in the same room, but the door has been locked.

When she returned to the bedroom and lay on the big bed, she was greeted by a strong smell of male hormones, Lin Xiran instantly blushed and jumped off the big bed like a ghost, this bed was full of his breath and told her how to sleep?

Perhaps hearing the movement in the bedroom, Xu Mo twisted the handle and came in to look at Lin Xiran, who was standing barefoot on the floor, and said, "What's wrong with you?" ”

Lin Xiran instinctively pointed to the big bed, and was about to ask if there were any new sheets or the like, but he thought that this was a hotel and the question was a little private, so it was better not to ask.

It's just that she doesn't ask, in Xu Mo's eyes, she will be so confused, Xu Mo lifted the quilt and thought that there were cockroaches in the hotel here?

After checking it a few times, he said, "You go to sleep, I'll help you watch to make sure there are no bugs." ”

Hearing this, Lin Xiran's heart was completely cold, she couldn't sleep just lying on his bed before it was over, and now she was hell when he saw that she could fall asleep.

Closing his eyes and forcing himself to ignore someone's existence, Xu Mo's gaze was too hot, especially when he stared at her pink lips after sweeping the water glass, and couldn't help but think of the taste of memory.

Suddenly I felt that there might be a problem with the air conditioner in the room, and the air was so hot that my throat was a little thirsty, and I needed to get the touch that bounced like freezing.

At this time, Lin Xiran seemed to be aware of his thoughts, hurriedly turned around, left a piece of the back of his head, yawned, and gradually breathed steadily, and fell asleep unexpectedly.

Listening to the shallow breathing in his ears, Xu Mo came to the other side of the bed and sat down, carefully looked at her who was well-behaved after falling asleep, reached out and gently pulled the quilt for her and kissed her lightly in the center of her eyebrows, saying goodnight and leaving.
