Chapter 22: All I Can Give You Is Friendship
Xiao made a gesture of please, and the direction of that hand was the wide terrace.
Jiang Xiaoqiao understood that this meant that she wanted to talk to her in private.
As he walked out onto the terrace.
The stone-slab terrace is illuminated only by indirect light, which comes from the doors and windows behind him and the decorative lights on the garden trees. Tables and chairs are scattered across the terrace for guests to breathe and escape from the hustle and bustle of the ball.
Jiang Xiaoqiao walked straight over and sat at one of the tables, folded her hands on her legs, and quietly looked into the depths of the garden. Her expression was calm, and the corners of her mouth drooped slightly outlined a faint sadness, and Xiao Zhan slowly approached her.
He is not used to the woman he wants thinking about others, this feeling is very uncomfortable, he just knows that this woman must be thinking about that Xiao Zhan now, and his name is only one word different, but it makes her remember the man who has been remembering it all her life and is still unwilling to come out of the shadows.
The man had enjoyed her best time, but she had never been prepared to come out of the gloom for the sake of his life, a faint jealousy and resentment, and he would rather kiss her and smile. Such a beautiful mouth should always have a smile on it. He had to be cautious and slowly dispel her guard.
"Tell me, what do you want to see me for?" Jiang Xiaoqiao turned her gaze to the depths of the garden.
Xiao stood and sat down, "I think you need to get to know me first, although you remember my name well!" But I probably don't know much about myself! He wanted her to remember who she was, not just because of his name.
"You investigated me?" Jiang Xiaoqiao replied affirmatively, because she was so sure because of this man's tone.
Xiao Zhan smiled, "The look of surprise on your face when you saw me made me have to investigate. "Honesty and honesty are also his strengths, and if he wants to, he has to take them, and he doesn't need to hide his intentions.
This woman is very smart, even if he hides his purpose.
"Very well, so what? Although you are also called Xiao Zhan, but this Xiao Station is not Xiao Zhan, you and I know this, I don't think I ever planned to trouble Mr. Xiao! Jiang Xiaoqiao didn't know what Xiao Zhan wanted to do, Xiao Zhan gave her a very difficult feeling, he was an arrogant and indifferent man, but except for the first time he saw him, he was so indifferent, these two meetings, the other party's obviously much more eager eyes, it was difficult to understand this person's intentions.
Xiao stood here and could admire her beautiful neck line, he was used to almost all women's enthusiastic responses to him, and there was no woman who didn't try to grab his attention, but Jiang Xiaoqiao's cold response aroused his interest.
"That's because I have a crush on you, your husband has been dead for five years, you should come out and start your new life!" His voice was low and pleasant, his demeanor was impeccable, and his eyes showed interest and concern for her. Meeting a romantic, handsome man at a formal banquet is enough to make any woman's legs go limp.
Jiang Xiaoqiao sneered, "Mr. Xiao, I don't think that my new life is you!" I don't think so! To put it mildly, Mr. Xiao, I don't have any opinion on you personally, but we are not suitable to be friends, and it has nothing to do with you how I want to live! Unceremoniously hit Xiao Zhan, how could she endure a man's arrogant telling her that she could put the past aside, especially if she wanted to be compared with Xiao Zhan.
It made her sad.
"Why did you reject me?" Xiao Zhan whispered, raising a black brow.
"Why not? You and I aren't all the way, are we? ”
"It's understandable, but there's no need to refuse. I have no ill will towards you, a new beginning will not cost you anything! ”
"There's no point in doing that!"
Jiang Xiaoqiao turned her gaze away and stared into the distance behind his shoulder. Her tone was soft with a hint of sadness.
"Mr. Xiao, don't be surprised if I sound too self-righteous, but I'm not interested in falling in love." She paused, as if to consider the wording, "At least, I don't have that desire right now. I'm so sorry! ”
"That's right, I want to be with you, I want you to smile again, like just now. A charming woman should not have eyes on sadness, especially you! A dinner won't make you infamous! Xiao stood up and smiled, in stark contrast to the indifference he had maintained for the first time, such a smile easily reminded her of Xiao Zhan.
"It's been a long time since anyone has dared to offend me like this!" Jiang Xiaoqiao couldn't help but smile.
"Most people think five years is enough time to dilute their grief, but ...... No. She choked up.
His face turned straight, "I believe that everyone has their own timeline for their grief, but I don't want that to be the reason for you to bury yourself, if that man named Xiao Zhan is here, he probably would rather you find a new happy life!" And not because he buried all his laughter and joie de vivre! I'm not making excuses for myself, but I think I have to make it clear that this is what a lot of people think. Look ahead. ”
"Well, no matter how fanciful you say, if that's what you're going to talk to me about, then I'm happy to tell you that it's over now! I don't have any feelings about your topic, Mr. Xiao, I haven't crossed paths with you before! There won't be one in the future, so I'm sorry I'm going back! Jiang Xiaoqiao put away all her emotions and didn't want to continue this conversation, Xiao Zhan's way was very secretive, he carefully hid his ambitions, but unfortunately Jiang Xiaoqiao's sixth sense was so accurate, she could feel the wildness and possessiveness of this man, she didn't want to let herself get into this topic.
Besides, for rejecting men, she seems to be a master of success.
"Everyone in this hall wants to associate with me!" Xiao Zhan said sarcastically.
"Yes! But I'm different! Her tone made him laugh.
"He's lucky to have someone who loves him so much." This is a desperate topic.
"Nope! Luckily for me! ”
He liked her and appreciated her straightforwardness without malice. In a way, he even likes that she has no love interest in him.
"You really frustrate men, even a proud man like me will be frustrated to frustration because of your blow!" Xiao Station teased.
"Every woman here is staring at you, and that definitely boosts your pride." Jiang Xiaoqiao, she doesn't want to be an enemy with Xiao Zhan, and being able to quietly resolve such a crisis is something she has often done in the past five years, and this time is no exception.
"In that case, it would be my pleasure to be friends with you. But I'm still not giving up. He said, blinking.
"But all I can give you is friendship!" Jiang Xiaoqiao completely blocked the last trace of leeway.
Then depart gracefully.
Watching Jiang Xiaoqiao's swaying figure disappear into the glass door of the terrace, he was momentarily stunned.
This woman really doesn't have feelings for him, but unfortunately it definitely can't extinguish the flame that he wants her, and I don't know why he just knows that she should belong to him.
