Chapter 22: Call Me by Name

Jing Xiao stood outside the door of the master bedroom, not going in for a long time, his eyes were distant and empty.

After a long time, he was about to turn around and go to the study, when the door to the master bedroom suddenly opened.

Tang Duyi stood at the door, slightly stunned when he saw him.

"How did you get out?" He was the first to speak, asking nonchalantly.

"I'm done washing." She whispered back, and then said, "Mr. Jing, I still think it's better for me to go to the living room for one night, you go back to the bedroom and sleep." ”

The smell of him in the room made her feel inexplicably embarrassed and nervous, so she didn't want to stay here for long.

Jing Xiao didn't speak immediately, but raised his feet and walked straight towards her.

Seeing him come in, Tang Duyi hurriedly turned sideways and made way for him.

I thought he was acquiescing to his proposal, but just as she was about to go out, the door was shut.

Immediately after, a tall and straight body blocked the doorway, and a black shadow shrouded her, she raised her head in surprise and crashed straight into those deep eyes.

He smelled fresh and good, but she still subconsciously stepped back, widening the distance between her and him.

"Gardenia, do you really want to see me driven downstairs by my grandmother?" He asked indifferently, stepped forward, and continued to approach her.

With such a title again, Tang Duyi couldn't help but swallow his saliva, didn't dare to look him in the eyes, stepped back, and denied: "No...... No. ”

Soon, she was forced to retreat to the edge of the bed, her calf touched the foot of the bed, her center of gravity was unstable, and she sat directly on the bed.

Jing Xiao stopped and stared at her condescendingly, her little face was crimson, and her dodgy eyes were as bright as a fawn.

"You're afraid to be alone with me?" He asked abruptly.

Tang Duyi pursed her lips and didn't say anything, but the default at this moment is an answer.

"Are you afraid of what I'm going to do to you? Or do you simply hate me? He continued to ask to himself, his dark eyes locked on her.

Hearing his question so direct, Tang Duyi was a little embarrassed, and hesitated for a few seconds before he spoke: "I'm just...... Not ready yet. ”

From the day they got married, she knew that there would be such a day.

Since she is married and has become a legal husband and wife, fulfilling the obligations of a wife is what she should do, after all, Jingxiao provided her with a place to live and gave him money to spend, there is no reason not to ask for anything in return, she understands this, but she is not ready.

Jing Xiao was stunned for a few seconds, and then realized that she had misunderstood that she wanted to covet her body, and laughed helplessly, but she was inexplicably uncomfortable in her heart, and sighed: "Don't think of me like a beast, although a thirty-year-old man is energetic, my energy is focused on work, and I have no interest in that kind of thing." ”

Hearing this, Tang Duyi blinked her big watery eyes, which were full of inquiry.

After seeing the meaning in her eyes, Jing Xiao was really a little speechless, this little thing always likes to think about those strange things in her mind all day long.

"Don't look at me like that, I'm normal, I'm interested in women, but for a little girl like you, it's ......"

At this, he paused, staring at her meaningfully.

Tang Duyi was furious by his ambiguous eyes, frowned, and said dissatisfiedly: "Mr. Jing, please figure it out, I will graduate from college soon, and I am not a little girl." ”

The corners of Jing Xiao's mouth raised a trace of evil arc, and he asked with interest: "What you said is hinting to me, I should be interested in you, right?" ”

She was stunned, and immediately raised her voice to argue, "Don't talk nonsense, I didn't mean that." ”

"Really?" Jing Xiao asked noncommittally, and his body moved closer to her again.

"Of course." Tang Duyi nodded vigorously, and then hurriedly reminded, "Mr. Jing, we have signed an agreement, don't worry, I won't fall in love with you." ”

When she mentioned the agreement, Jing Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly, and a complicated light flashed in his dark eyes, and then he lightly opened his thin lips and spit out words lightly, "Can't you change your name?" ”

He suddenly changed the topic, and Tang Duyi didn't follow for a while, "What? ”

"I call you Gardenia, but you keep calling me Mr. Jing, you will really make me feel very old." Although he said this casually, it was not difficult to hear the implicit displeasure in it.

He seems to really start to care about his age, but this situation will only appear when he gets along with her.

Tang Duyi bit her pink lip, and her little hand clutched the sheets under her, feeling a little at a loss for a while.

She didn't think there was anything wrong with calling him Mr. Jing, besides, if she wanted to change her name, then what should she call him?

Is it called husband? Doesn't seem appropriate?

Is it called Ah Xiao? Isn't that what grandma's elders call him?

Is it called brother? These two words seem to be a bit ambiguous and inexplicable.

So what should it be called? My dear? Baby?

Just when she was in trouble, Jing Xiao sighed, shook her head and said, "Call me by my name." ”

"Huh?" Tang Duyi's eyes widened in shock, "Name? ”

"Hmm." He bowed his head lightly and teased, "You can't remember my name, do you?" ”

"Of course I do." Tang Duyi hurriedly denied it, her heartbeat seemed to have missed half a beat, and she panicked.

Looking at her stunned appearance at the moment, Jing Xiao inexplicably felt a little cute, a strange light flashed under her eyes, there was still no ripple on her handsome face, and she said lightly: "If you don't call me by my name, I don't mind if you call me husband." ”

Hearing this, she was so frightened that she directly choked violently.

Jing Xiao reached out and patted her back, raised his eyebrows, and stared at her with burning eyes, "Did I say something wrong?" ”

Tang Duyi waved his hand and shook his head, holding back the turbulent emotions tumbling in his heart, and said as calmly as possible, "Let's call it by name." ”

She really can't shout her husband's title like that.

"Hmm." Jing Xiao replied softly, and his gaze subconsciously fell on her.

She had a good figure, curvy, bumpy, and because she had just taken a shower, she still had a faint floral scent on her body, which was intertwined with the mint smell of his bedroom, and it smelled exceptionally good.

I don't know why, he actually started to pay attention to her figure, although this is what a normal man would do, and she is still his wife, there is nothing wrong with taking a look, but his reason can't help but scold him for being shameless.

Seeing that he had been staring at him, the flush on Tang Duyi's cheeks became more and more obvious, and he felt as if his body was about to burn, and lowered his eyelids in embarrassment, avoiding his hot gaze.

She suddenly felt that the way this man looked at her was getting more and more wrong.

"Rest early." Jing Xiao said lightly, and then added, "You can get together here tonight for the night, I'll go take a bath first." ”

The words fell, and without giving her time to react, she went straight away.

Hearing the sound of the bathroom door closing, Tang Duyi came back to his senses, and his eyes widened in surprise.

The thought of sleeping in the same room with him tonight made her brow tighten, and she began to feel uncomfortable.

Jing Xiao's eyes were so hot just now that she almost ran out of breath, if she stayed in one room for one night, she was afraid that she would really die.

So without any further hesitation, Tang Duyi got up and prepared to go out, but when she was about to open the door, she remembered what Jing Xiao had just said.

If she goes out now, grandma will definitely be angry when she finds out, and he will have to be scolded again, but if she doesn't go out, she will be in the same room with him like this, and I'm afraid that tonight, she will spend it in torment.

How is she going to sleep?

It's scary to think about.

After struggling for a moment, Tang Duyi finally opened the door and went out.

She had already thought in her mind that she would go to the living room to watch TV for a while, and when they were all asleep, she would take the opportunity to sleep on the sofa for the night.

Even if grandma sees it tomorrow morning, she can say that she accidentally fell asleep after watching TV for a long time at night, so that Jingxiao should not be scolded.

She felt that her plan was seamless, if not perfect.

And so she did.

After turning on the TV in the living room, she curled up on the sofa and sat down, turning the sound of the TV to a very low level, as if watching a silent movie.

Just when she was done with all this, Jing Xiao had already finished taking a shower and came out of the bathroom.

He stood on the edge of the bed, looking at the empty room, his sword eyebrows furrowed deeply.

This disobedient little thing actually sneaked out while he was taking a bath.

Jing Xiao threw aside the towel in his hand, didn't care about his wet hair, and directly opened the door and went out to arrest someone.

After seeing him come out, Tang Duyi reflexively trembled, swallowed his saliva, and said in a low voice, "Why did you come out?" ”

Jing Xiao didn't speak, but just took a step towards her, her tall and straight body exuding a terrifying sense of oppression.

After stopping in front of her, he bent over, propped his arms on the back of the sofa, and encircled her between himself and the sofa, and in his dark eyes, a sense of danger swelled up, and he said in a deep voice: "How can I make you obedient?" ”

Hearing this, Tang Duyi's whole body froze, looking at his face close at hand, listening to his magnetic voice, his throat was blocked for a while, and he couldn't speak for a long time.

This was Jing Xiao she had never seen before, and he was surrounded by a bit of ruffianism, like a cheetah luring its prey into the circle.

She was a little scared, but she couldn't hide from it.

There was a faint fragrance on his body after bathing, and the droplets of water dripping from his hair fell on her cheeks, tickling, and her heart was beating frighteningly fast.

Jing Xiao's pupils were dark and deep, and there seemed to be a monstrous wave in them, as if they would drown her up at any time.

"Gardenia, are you going to tie you up, so that you can sleep obediently tonight and not run around?"

As he spoke, he raised his hand and made a gesture to grab her.
