Chapter 47: The Problem
"Nothing else, as for thanks, what do you think?"
The man leaned against the door frame, his handsome face without aggression revealing unspeakable trust, like the doll that had been with her since she was a child.
Hearing this, it was hard for Mu Ziqian not to suspect that Xiao Yunli actually knew something, and he was silent for a while.
Suddenly there was a feeling that she should make it clear to him, but what was it clear, she had already hidden too many things from him, as if many things had already changed.
Mu Ziqian also thought about it before, in fact, there is really no need for him to keep hiding many things.
But often for this kind of thing, the timing is the most important, Mu Ziqian really can't do it, but she suddenly goes over directly like this and tells him those secrets that have been hidden for a long time.
She put away the towel in her hand, the wide towel curled up and squeezed between her arms.
Looking pitiful, Mu Ziqian lowered her head, revealing a sinuous and clean neck curve, without a little expectation in her eyes that met Xiao Yunli.
As if waiting for something, she said slowly, "Don't you have any questions to ask?" ”
Xiao Yunli didn't seem surprised when he heard it, he nodded indifferently, but his amber pupils were always locked with her: "Of course, it's too much, and it doesn't seem so urgent." ”
After he finished speaking, he suddenly thought about it again, and the corners of his lips naturally smiled, as if he was confident: "It's just that you will answer?" ”
The sense of disadvantage of this sentence is really clear and recognizable, Mu Ziqian stiffened for a moment, completely powerless to refute, and knew very well why he asked like this, and he couldn't help but be a little puzzled.
At the same time, there are actually some regrets, Mu Ziqian has actually heard a little about his situation.
Obviously, he should also be a rich second generation, and the Xiao family is not a mediocre family, but unfortunately this family struggle is too serious, and Xiao Yunli has no bargaining chips to talk to her at all.
After all, Xiao Yunli's life experience is still very miserable to be serious, an illegitimate child was born, and his mother was mad.
These two are enough to send him to the Infernal Hell, not to mention the always smart and witty brain, and the stupid sister-in-law who can't suppress the past no matter how hard he tries.
Thinking about it for herself, Mu Ziqian could simply feel pain for herself, and she couldn't help but feel more pity for him in her heart.
So she shook her head, and paused when she said it, afraid that Xiao Yunli would feel that she was giving him charity, so she changed her way of saying it.
"Just think of it as the reward for you to get me back the pendant, three questions, all you have to answer."
Xiao Yunli looked at her with a smile, and his expression was clear, as if he had guessed that he would do this early on, which made Mu Ziqian a little more shy for no reason.
The woman's face was flushed, she turned her head and coughed lightly, pretending to be serious, "You still don't ask?" ”
"If you don't ask, I'll close the door now, what do we have to say tomorrow, I'm tired, I'm going to sleep, you go to bed early?"
As if to hide her weakness, Mu Ziqian said a lot of words, but unfortunately the hand holding the doorknob never moved, and it seemed that she was a little inconsistent.
When Xiao Yunli heard this, he finally restrained his smile, and he squinted his eyes, as if he was thinking about something.
The two of them stood facing each other, the light came down from the top, and the shadow was said to be a very small point, and there was silence flowing in the air, which made Mu Ziqian a little more nervous.
He could imagine what Xiao Yunli would ask, but he couldn't imagine what he should answer.
Or the other way around, but the question is, do those messages need to be tactful? Or would he prefer to hear the news of the disappearance of Shotten International?
The man's heart was a little incomprehensible, after all, Mu Ziqian was only the second day of raising him.
No, no, if it were to be calculated according to the twenty-four-hour system, it was obvious that they hadn't even spent the first day yet, the time was too short, and she didn't know what Xiao Yunli's bottom line was.
After a long, long time, the tension in the air converged into a little fine fuse, Mu Ziqian licked her lips and became uneasy.
As if she was looking for something, she stretched out her hand and held the hand of the man who had been moaning, Xiao Yunli was slightly stunned, but she was only stunned, and did not break free.
Mu Ziqian's heart spread with subtle satisfaction, her eyebrows and eyes were full of smiles, and she whispered: "You think slowly." ”
"But now, we can go and sit on the sofa, I can go later tomorrow, we can stay up late today, and we can talk a lot, what do you think?"
is like treating an old friend who hasn't seen him for a long time, Mu Ziqian's words are even full of tenderness.
Xiao Yunli didn't resist, but after being pulled by her to sit on the sofa, she suddenly said thoughtfully: "I don't doubt that you are, beauty?" ”
"Why do you say that?" Mu Ziqian was disappointed, and only said that it was okay to be overjoyed, after all, she admitted that she was a beauty?
"Because your words are too gentle, it's easy for the courage I just mustered up to dissipate again, Ziqian thinks you shouldn't be blamed for this matter?"
He said it bluntly, but Mu Ziqian felt that his face was about to turn up, and it was hard to imagine that he would admit it so calmly.
Mu Ziqian didn't look over, and coughed again: "It shouldn't be blamed on me, it's my uncle's own problem." ”
"Poof......" Mu Ziqian heard the first laugh that appeared from his nose, his cheeks were hot again, everything seemed to return to the time when love first opened two years ago, and even his heartbeat was faster than that time.
Before she had time to think about the connection, Mu Ziqian heard him say softly: "Then the first question, why do you keep calling me uncle?" ”
When the voice fell into her ears, Mu Ziqian was a little incredible, and couldn't help but suspect that she had heard it wrong.
She turned her head with some incomprehension, and looked at Xiao Yun's light brown pupils with confusion clearly written: "Is this the first question, but don't you think this seems a bit wasteful?" ”
After all, it was a question she had already answered, but it was suddenly brought out again, why is this?
The man's mind is really getting more and more incomprehensible, Mu Ziqian's face is broken, and he can't figure it out, but if he can't figure it out, he can look at Xiao Yunli.
His eyes smiled again: "I know, but why waste it?" Because I asked before? ”
After two questions in a row, Mu Ziqian suspected that she had misremembered, and couldn't help but be a little nervous for a while: "Why do you ask this, did I say it wrong?" ”
