After discovering that Yan Xinuo and Xia Yihuan had left, Situ Jiluo originally wanted to come over and ask Zi Ling if she was willing to go home with him. But when he saw her like this before he could open his mouth, he found that he really couldn't open his mouth.

Not only that, but he didn't want to scare Zi Ling away because he was too anxious. Anyway, they still have a long time, and he can take it step by step and let Zi Ling slowly accept himself.

"Let's go change our clothes, let's go have lunch after we check out."

I don't know how long it took for him to finally open his mouth and say something like that. Even though he was struggling in his heart, Situ Jiluo still let himself behave naturally and not let Zi Ling notice.

And Zi Ling didn't have the heart to think too much about it now, just nodded stunnedly, and then walked back to the bedroom. Seeing that she took out a set of clothes from her bag and plunged into the bathroom, Situ Jiluo sighed lightly, and then sat down on the sofa behind him.

In less than twenty minutes, Zi Ling had already changed out of his bathrobe and walked out of the bathroom wearing a casual sportswear. Judging by the way her hair was wet, it was obvious that she had just taken a shower.

"You've been waiting a long time, haven't you? I took a shower, so it was longer. ”

Coming out of the bathroom, seeing Situ Jiluo sitting on the sofa reading the newspaper, Zi Ling said a little embarrassed. The impression of Situ Jiluo is not a very patient person, so Lang spends so much time waiting for himself, he should be very impatient, right?

Zi Ling thought so, but he didn't know that Situ Jiluo didn't even have the slightest impatience, but felt that waiting for his beloved could be so sweet.

"It's fine."

stepped forward and hugged her waist and pecked her on the mouth, Situ Jiluo said gently. Originally, he wanted to kiss her further, but she pushed him away.

"Don't make a fuss, it's not too early."

Seeming to be a little uncomfortable with this sudden intimacy, Zi Ling blushed a little and hung his head, and gently pushed Situ Jiluo away. After pushing him away, she moved to tidy up her things.

Not long after, when Zi Ling packed up everything and was about to go out with her bag, Situ Jiluo suddenly snatched it from her hand. Zi Ling wanted to say that the bag was not heavy, and she could carry it herself, but before she could say anything, she was taken aback by Situ Jiluo's actions.

"That..."

"Let's go."

Not allowing Zi Ling to have time to refuse, after Situ Jiluo took the bag from her hand, he took her hand and walked towards the door. By the time Zi Ling reacted, the two were already in the elevator.

"That's... Can you let go of your hands? ”

After the elevator door closed, seeing that Situ Jiluo had been holding his hand, Zi Ling couldn't help but ask. This is their Yan family's hotel, she doesn't want to be seen, and then be rumored something. What's more, it's a public place downstairs, and she doesn't want to be seen by passers-by.

"Don't let go, never let go again in this life."

"Situ Jiluo, I'm telling you the truth!"

"I'm telling you the truth!"

“……”

was blocked by Situ Jiluo's words and couldn't reply, Zi Ling simply shut up, not planning to talk to him. Seeing that Zi Ling didn't react for a long time, Situ Jiluo saw her pouting from the reflection of the mirror.

Knowing that she was obviously angry like this, he didn't plan to mess with her, so he gently let go of the hand that had been held by him from just now.

A few seconds later, at the moment when the elevator opened, Zi Ling stepped out first, while Situ Jiluo followed behind her at a distance. Although the two of them had lowered their heads, passers-by recognized them and took out their mobile phones to take pictures.

The sharp-eyed Situ Jiluo discovered this, and first went to inform the hotel's security before running to Zi Ling. Stopped her by the shoulder, and then took her out of sight of the men.

When they finally got into the car without these passers-by, both of them were slightly gasping for the brisk walk. Knowing that it was not advisable to stay here for a long time, Situ Jiluo quickly started the engine and drove the car away.

"Want something to eat?"

When the car successfully got rid of everyone's eyes and drove to the highway, Situ Jiluo, who was driving, turned his head to look at Zi Ling and asked with anticipation.

"Take me back to my brother's apartment."

Because I was frightened by what happened in the hotel lobby just now, I originally planned to go back to Ziling after eating, but now I have changed my attention. What happened just now reminded her once again of what she was afraid of in her heart. She didn't want to eat out with Situ Jiluo, because it was too risky to be photographed.

Although he had expected Zi Ling to say this, when he heard her say it in person, Situ Jiluo still felt a little lost in the south. But this sense of loss only stayed for a moment, because he quickly remembered something, and the corners of his mouth secretly hooked up a smile.

"Oh."

After answering, he stepped on the accelerator and drove to where he wanted to be. Seeing that Zi Ling closed his eyes and obviously didn't want to speak, Situ Jiluo didn't say anything, just drove the car intently, thinking about his own affairs.

In fact, Zi Ling didn't fall asleep at all, and the reason why he closed his eyes was because he didn't know how to get along with Situ Jiluo. Suddenly feeling that the speed of the car had slowed down and the driving was not as smooth as before, she unconsciously opened her eyes and looked out of the car.

"Here it is..."

Seeing that the car quickly drove into a street that felt both familiar and unfamiliar to her, Zi Ling realized that this was not the road to her brother and sister-in-law's apartment at all, but the way back to Zixuan Pavilion.

"I asked you to take me back to my brother's apartment, what are you bringing me here for?"

With a chuckle in his heart, realizing Situ Jiluo's attempt, Zi Ling quickly turned his head and questioned him. But it was too late when he asked, because the car had already driven into the courtyard of Zixuan Pavilion at this time.

"This is your home, of course I'm bringing you back."

"Situ Jiluo, I..."

"Just stay for a meal, you haven't tasted Sister-in-law Lin's craftsmanship for a long time."

After speaking, Situ Jiluo didn't give Zi Ling a chance to say anything to refuse, and opened the door and got out of the car. After a while, he went around to the side of the co-pilot, opened the door, and stretched out his hand to the purple spirit in the car.

"Ji Luo, I think we need to have a good talk."

After last night, maybe the relationship between the two has improved, but Zi Ling still can't accept it for a while. So when she saw Situ Jiluo like this, she felt that she had to make it clear to him.

"Just stay for a meal, and I'll send you back."

Not allowing Zi Ling a chance to continue, Situ Jiluo immediately added such a sentence. seemed to know what Zi Ling wanted to talk about, so he subconsciously felt scared and chose to escape.

“……”

Raising his head and looking at Situ Jiluo who was standing outside the door and stretched out his hand to him, Zi Ling was not untouched. Especially when she heard his words, her heart was even more abrupt. I don't know why, looking at Situ Jiluo with a sincere face, Zi Ling found that he couldn't say anything to refuse.

"Okay."

After agreeing, Zi Ling handed his hand to Situ Jiluo and let him lead her out of the car. But thinking of what she had just said to Yan Xinuo at the door of the hotel, she couldn't help but remind Situ Jiluo beside her.

"After dinner, please send me home, my brother and sister-in-law are still waiting for me at home."

"Hmm."

Although he still couldn't help but feel disappointed in his heart, just hearing that Zi Ling had agreed to stay and eat, his heart could not hide his excitement. After answering, Situ Jiluo held the hand in his palm even harder, and led her to the direction of the room.

"Young Master, you're back!"

Hearing the sound of the door opening, Sister-in-law Lin, who was originally busy in the yard, hurried out to greet her. She was obviously overjoyed to see that the young master, who hadn't come back for many days, had finally returned, but when she saw the person standing behind Situ Jiluo, she couldn't help but be stunned.

"Uh... Young grandma? ”

Because she couldn't see it very clearly, Sister-in-law Lin couldn't be 100% sure, so she paused for a while before calling out the long-lost title.

"Sister-in-law Lin, it's been a long time!"

"Young grandma, it's really you!"

Originally, she was still a little uncertain, but after hearing Zi Ling's voice, Sister-in-law Lin was sure that she didn't recognize the wrong person. It's been two years, and she hasn't seen her since the young grandmother left Zixuan Pavilion. So, she couldn't hide her joy and stepped forward to give her a big hug.

"Sister-in-law Lin, go prepare a dish, we haven't eaten yet."

After finishing speaking, Situ Jiluo didn't care that the two women had anything else to talk about, so he directly interrupted their warm atmosphere of reminiscing, and then pulled Zi Ling upstairs. Sister-in-law Lin looked at their departing backs and couldn't help but smile, then turned around and walked into the kitchen, ready to cook for the two of them.

"You... What are you bringing me in here for? ”

Before Zi Ling had time to react, he was pulled into the upstairs bedroom. When everything familiar fell into her eyes, she was stunned for a moment. Seeing that Situ Jiluo was standing there and did not react, she took a step forward, looked around, and then couldn't help but say.

"How ...... here"

"Since you left, I told Sister-in-law Lin not to touch any layout here, just to clean it simply. Because I'm waiting for you to come home. ”

After listening to Situ Jiluo's words, Zi Ling froze again. I even wondered if I had heard it wrong. Is this what he said? But he doesn't look like a man who would say such things...

Once, she wished he could keep her, but he didn't. Now, when she didn't have any hope for him, what did he mean by saying such things?

Suddenly, Zi Ling's heart was in turmoil, so chaotic that she didn't know how to respond. As a result, the two fell into an awkward silence......
