Chapter 32: Come with me somewhere
His words made Tang Duyi's face blush to the base of her neck, she bit her lip lightly, and nodded slightly, indicating that she knew, but she never dared to look at him.
Now, she's a little confused about their relationship.
Obviously, they said that once the agreement was signed, they would not communicate with each other and would not cross the line, but why did she think that Jingxiao was constantly crossing the line?
This made her panic, and she was afraid that she would fall into a marriage that should not have existed.
Sensing her distraction, Jing Xiao's eyes darkened a little, her thin lips opened slightly, and she was about to say something, but she took the lead.
"That, if you're in a hurry to go back to the company, I won't delay your time, I'll go upstairs first." There was a hint of panic written in her eyes, and she was ready to get out of the car.
But Jingxiao reached out and grabbed her, pressed the lock key with the other hand, and closed the car door.
"Mr. Jing......" She frowned and pushed him away with some displeasure.
"What do you call me?" Jing Xiao narrowed his eyes, and his voice was a little deeper than before.
His voice was not loud but very intimidating, Tang Duyi blinked weakly, hesitated for a second, and then spoke again, "Jing ...... Jingxiao. ”
"Hmm." He answered, and started the car.
Before Tang Duyi could react, he heard his low voice sound again, "Come with me somewhere." ”
"Huh?" She exclaimed, her eyes widening in surprise, as if she couldn't believe her ears.
What did he just say? Let yourself accompany him to a place?
Where is it? Just the two of them?
Jing Xiao didn't answer, but drove intently.
After the car drove out of the underground garage, Tang Duyi looked at the sky after the rain stopped through the windshield, and couldn't help asking, "Are you going to buy something?" ”
Hearing this, Jing Xiao glanced sideways at her and replied lightly, "No." ”
Seeing that he didn't want to say more, she didn't want to ask again, so she didn't say anything more.
There was a moment of silence in the car, and time ticked by.
Suddenly, at the turn of the intersection, Jing Xiao suddenly called out to her, "Gardenia." ”
"Huh?" She turned her eyes to him, "What's wrong?" ”
Jing Xiao stared ahead, his voice still steady, "We're not going back to eat tonight." ”
"What? Why don't you go back to dinner? Tang Duyi blinked blankly, shocked in his heart.
Did he mean to take her out to dinner?
Are two people alone?
"You have an exam tomorrow, I'll take you to a good meal tonight, and it's right to relax." He explained lightly.
Hearing this, Tang Duyi's heart throbbed, her little heart was beating non-stop, and even her breathing was disordered, and she didn't dare to look at him, for fear that he would see something.
didn't hear her agree, Jing Xiao turned his head to her and showed a doting smile, and added, "Gardenia, it seems that we have never eaten out alone." ”
As soon as he heard this, Tang Duyi originally wanted to refuse the words, but in the end he could only take them back, nodded lightly, and agreed.
Jing Xiao's lips rippled with a shallow arc, and his facial features became much softer.
Watching the car go out of the city, Tang Duyi spoke again and asked, "Where are we going to eat?" ”
"There is a private restaurant in the suburbs, the taste is not bad, and the scenery around there is also very good, we can go over now and go to see it."
Jing Xiaoyun explained lightly, to be honest, eating there in the past was a secondary thing, and the most important thing was that he wanted to take Tang Duyi to see the scenery and relieve his mood.
Although there are some things he can't ask more about at the moment, he really hopes that she can be happy.
Tang Duyi listened to his explanation, and his already nervous mood became even more uneasy at the moment.
He deliberately drove himself to the suburbs to eat some private food, should this kind of thing really exist in their relationship?
"Grandma is still at home, in fact, we can eat at home." She muttered something under her breath, her eyes averting his face to the front of her.
Jing Xiao seemed to have guessed that she would be like this, and there was no surprise on her face, "When your exam is over, we will celebrate for you with grandma." ”
Hearing him say this, Tang Duyi could only obediently hang his head and be silent.
After more than an hour, their car slowly drove into the foothills of a quiet mountain, through a winding mountain road, and finally arrived at their destination.
After parking the car, Jing Xiao took the lead in pushing the car door and getting out of the car, went around to the other side, and opened the car door for Tang Duyi, looking gentlemanly and graceful.
"Thank you." She bowed slightly.
After getting off the bus, you will see an antique courtyard, a road paved with bluestone slabs, and all kinds of precious flowers and trees planted on the side, adding a touch of luxury to the whole courtyard.
The yard is large and the surroundings are beautiful and pleasant, giving it a sense of tranquility and comfort.
"Eat here?" She looked at Jing Xiao beside her and asked.
After all, before she came, she had always thought that the so-called private restaurant should be simple, like a farmhouse, but she never thought that it would be such an exquisite and high-end place.
"Hmm." Jing Xiao responded lightly, didn't explain much, and then walked straight forward with his long legs.
Tang Duyi was a little nervous, and his palms were sweating, but he still followed his steps and walked slowly inside.
Soon, someone inside greeted him, a middle-aged man.
"Mr. Jing, you are here, according to your orders, we have already started to arrange dinner tonight."
Since Jing Xiao had already called to greet him before he came, there would be no one else here tonight, and they all sensibly didn't call him Jing Ye.
After listening to his words, Jing Xiao bowed slightly, "Okay, got it." ”
After the words fell, he looked at Tang Duyi beside him again and introduced, "This is Manager Qi here." ”
Hearing this, Tang Duyi was a little at a loss for a while, and bowed his head slightly, which could be regarded as a greeting.
"It's still early, you can take your wife around the neighborhood." Manager Qi smiled and respectfully proposed.
"Well, that's exactly what I wanted." As he spoke, he took Tang Duyi's hand.
His warm and dry palm covered the back of her hand, and rubbed it slightly, Tang Duyi was a little uncomfortable, and hurriedly withdrew his hand.
"What's wrong?" He asked in surprise, as if he really didn't understand.
Tang Duyi's cheeks were slightly red, his big eyes locked on him, and he pretended to be calm and asked, "You come here often?" ”
"Occasionally." He threw out two words lightly, and then felt that it was inappropriate, so he added, "The boss here is my friend." ”
After the words fell, he looked at Manager Qi in front of him, as if he wanted him to help confirm it.
After meeting his eyes, Manager Qi immediately understood his intentions and nodded vigorously.
"Let's go, I'll show you around." With that, Jing Xiao took her to the backyard.
Tang Duyi looked at him as if he was familiar with the road, and it didn't look like he had just come occasionally.
Going out from the backyard, there is a small stream, although it is winter now, the surface of the stream is not frozen, and the sound of the water is very pleasant.
"The air here is really nice." She couldn't help but mutter.
Looking at the sparkling stream, her heart instantly calmed down a lot, and the tension just now disappeared, but the boredom in her heart was still looming.
Seeing that she seemed to be in a better mood, Jing Xiao hooked her lips slightly, "If you like it, we can come over often." ”
Tang Duyi wanted to say no, but his lips were always pursed, and he didn't say half a word, nor did he answer, but focused on enjoying the scenery.
Jing Xiao didn't mention any inappropriate topics again, and quietly walked with her.
At this moment, the atmosphere between them is particularly pleasant.
didn't go far, Tang Duyi suddenly spoke, and said solemnly: "I may have to go back to my hometown after the exam." ”
She hesitated for a long time in her heart, but in the end she felt that she should tell him.
Hearing this, Jing Xiao's eyes were slightly dark, and he glanced at her sideways, and vaguely guessed the reason why she went back, but he still pretended not to know, and asked in a low voice: "Is there something going back?" When are you leaving? I'm asking for leave to accompany you back. ”
"No, you don't." She really refused, stopped moving forward, and turned to look at him, "It's not a big deal for me to go back, I just think that the New Year is coming soon, go and see grandma, you are so busy with work, you don't have to bother." ”
Every time she pushed her away, Jing Xiao felt that her enthusiasm was full of fire, and she fell short again and again.
Her refusal frustrated him, and her indifference hurt more than a knife to cut flesh.
Could it be that between them, it has developed to the point where they need to avoid suspicion?
"It's okay, I'm not that busy with my work anymore." He continued to speak, "Gardenia, as your legal husband, I should also go to see my grandmother, otherwise I will take this opportunity to go back with you to pay respects." ”
"Next time." Tang Duyi shook his head and refused.
She went back this time to deal with Tang Hong and the house, if Jing Xiao followed, her lies would be exposed, everything would become complicated, and it was even very likely that they would have conflicts and disputes because of this, which was not what she wanted to see.
Listening to her merciless refusal, a trace of sadness flashed over Jing Xiao's handsome face, and his eyes dimmed a little.
After Tang Duyi noticed his abnormality, he met his slightly hazy black eyes, and suddenly felt his heart shrink suddenly, as if he had been suddenly pricked by a needle.
This feeling is very strange, obviously they should coexist peacefully, have no intersection, and do not interfere with each other, but why should she be weak-hearted?
"Then you be careful on the road, call me if you have something, come back early, this Chinese New Year's Eve, we will go back to grandma's house for dinner." Jing Xiao finally compromised, he didn't dare to force her too hard, sometimes, the more desperate he wanted a result, it would backfire.
Tang Duyi is his nominal wife, but since he married her, he must respect her, and since there are some things she wants to deal with by herself, then let her go.
Anyway, he will definitely keep things under control, and if she really can't solve it in the end, he will also take care of this tail for her.
