Qiao Xing's mind was confused, and he couldn't help but think about how he knew that she was back, obviously no one knew about her coming back except Mo Jinyu, and even Qiao Fei didn't know that she was back until she got off the plane.

How could he be here, didn't he say that he was out of town for a very important project meeting? Did he show up here to find her?

……

There were too many questions in Qiao Xing's mind, and she desperately wanted to find an exit, but she suppressed it back.

At this time, if you pretend not to see it, it will inevitably seem a little deliberate, after all, you haven't come back this time to escape first.

Ten years have passed on everything, and the pain that I once thought was just a small episode in the long river of life.

"You're going to keep me standing at this door, aren't you?"

Jiang Yifan's voice was very low, coupled with the overly serious expression on his face, a sentence that was originally mixed with a joke did not have the slightest meaning of joke coming out of his mouth.

Qiao Xing smiled lightly, and his tone was calm, as if the two were not old people who had not seen each other for ten years.

"I'm just waiting for Mr. Jiang, when you hang up the phone."

Jiang Yifan glanced at the mobile phone in his hand and put it in his trouser pocket without a trace.

"Can you please come in and sit down now?"

He stood less than two meters away from her, with a black suit jacket hanging from one hand and the other in his trouser pocket with his phone.

He used to frown, and when he wasn't smiling, he always gave people a sense of detachment. Only Qiao Xing knew that his alienation was just a kind of self-protection of his inferiority complex.

And this point was only learned after I met a psychiatrist abroad.

When he was led to her by his second aunt that year, she always remembered that this child who was brought back from the mountains by his second aunt was asked by his parents to call him brother.

From Jiang Yifan, who had low self-esteem and was restrained in his speech when he first met, to the 'extraordinary' boss who is now in charge, the experience during this period is something that outsiders will never be able to experience.

He is no longer inferior, no longer cowardly, will this Jiang Yifan still be the person she thought about back then?

At this moment, Qiao Xing suddenly felt a trace of regret, she originally thought that she was ready to face him, but the uncertainty at this moment made her feel that maybe she shouldn't come back.

"It's so late, won't Mr. Jiang come just to sit with me? Then I'm really flattered, but I may have to flick Mr. Jiang's good interest.

I just came back from abroad today and the jet lag has not been reversed, and now I am really tired and want to rest early, so I will not invite Mr. Jiang in.

If there's something we can talk about another day, okay? ”

Qiao Xing thought that the meaning of her words couldn't be clearer, since she said another day, it meant that she didn't mean to avoid him, but she was really tired.

Obviously, Jiang Yifan didn't hear the meaning of her words, and his brows furrowed even tighter.

In fact, since just now, he has hated her very much, and he can call him 'Mr. Jiang' distantly. Such a title seems to have widened the distance between them all at once.

In the past, she could always come up with all kinds of sour names, what: 'Fanfan', 'Yiyi', 'Brother Yifan', 'cousin', even in the days when the two were the most unfamiliar, they called him by his full name.

Although I felt very numb at the time, it was always sweet in my heart. But now her deliberate estrangement really makes him uncomfortable.

"Are you really in such a hurry to draw a line with me, or is it that the tall and powerful men who have been abroad all these years have made you unwilling to pay attention to other men." Jiang Yifan said lightly, but the person swaggered into the house, not caring at all about what Qiao Xing said just now.

"You mean you're not tall enough? Finally, you're a little self-aware. Qiao Xing sneered.

Jiang Yifan was deflated, he didn't expect to put himself in, and opened his mouth without saying half a word.

Seeing that Jiang Yifan was silent for a long time, Qiao Xing once again made a look of chasing away customers: "If Mr. Jiang has nothing to do, please go back, I really want to rest."

"Do you have to call me Mr. Jiang? Is it necessary to draw the line between us in this way? ”

Jiang Yifan finally couldn't help it, Qiao Xing's mouthful of Jiang Zong really hurt him.

As early as five years ago, I heard that Jiang Yifan is now under the protection of Qiao's family, and he is thriving in the business world, not only has his own listed company, but also extends his business to all over the world.

In the words of Second Uncle Qiao: Xiao Fan is really capable, he has done so at a young age, if he waits a few more years, he will definitely surpass his uncle. Therefore, Qiao Xing thinks that he can bear this voice Jiang Zong.

She thought so, it was just a title, but she didn't expect Jiang Yifan to care.

Why shouldn't she?

Unfamiliar names may make them seem less intimate to each other.

"Jiang Yifan, what do you want to do? You've come to me in the middle of the night in your life, not just for small talk. ”

Qiao Xing had already written impatience all over her face, she hadn't slept well for a few days, and she really wanted to take a shower and lie on the bed quickly.

Jiang Yifan naturally saw her impatience, turned around and left. Qiao Xing suddenly had the illusion that he had finally driven away the 'plague god'.

As Jiang Yifan went out, she also carefully confirmed whether he was really leaving. After watching him disappear into the darkness, she was finally relieved, but after being reassured, she inevitably felt empty and regretful. Maybe she shouldn't have been so decisive.

Just when she was a little discouraged, the door behind her was suddenly blown by a gust of wind, and with a bang, she was awakened from her thoughts.

Qiao Xing looked at the closed gate and couldn't help but scold: "Grass!"

Then he took out the key and was about to open the door, but unfortunately the key was not aimed at the key and suddenly felt someone behind him. She doesn't have to look back, she can tell who the person behind her is from the faint fragrance.

Sure enough, she really overestimated Jiang Yifan, he has never been a person who can read words and looks, at least not here.

Just when Qiao Xing was a little stunned, his hands were suddenly covered by something. Jiang Yifan held Qiao Xing's hand holding the key and helped her insert the key into the keyhole.

His palms were cold, slightly sweaty, and the hand that touched her trembled slightly, as if he had been electrocuted, and her heart trembled with it.

The door opened with a 'click', and Qiao Xing came back to his senses.

"It seems that life abroad has made you even more stupid, and you won't even open the door."

His tone was lighthearted and natural, even slightly teasing. Qiao Xing felt a little treacherous, the person in front of her might not be the Jiang Yifan she knew.

Forbearance, self-discipline, sensitivity, prudence, and unsmiling...... is the Jiang Yifan she knows.
