Jing Xiao nodded and turned to leave.

However, only halfway through, his steps suddenly stagnated, turned to look at her, and said in a deep voice: "Gardenia, you try to face up to our relationship as husband and wife, try to rely on me once, is it okay?" ”

Hearing this, Tang Duyi couldn't help but clench her hands, but she stubbornly didn't open her eyes and didn't answer.

After waiting for a few seconds, Jing Xiao sighed, turned around and walked out of the ward, and gently closed the door.

The room was quiet again, and Tang felt as if a warm liquid was spilling from the corners of her eyes, and she reached out to pull up the quilt and buried her cheeks in it.

On the bench outside the ward, Jing Xiao'an sat quietly, his gaze staring at a certain place without moving, as if he was in some kind of deep thought.

In the evening, Mrs. Jing called him and scolded him.

Because she already knew that Tang Hong had come to the hospital to trouble Tang Duyi again, she said that she would deal with this matter herself.

Jing Xiao was naturally unwilling, but it was not good to oppose directly, so he could only say perfunctorily: "Grandma, in fact, this matter is almost the same, don't worry about it." ”

"You can accompany Gardenia well now, and don't worry about other things."

Old Madam Jing had a tough attitude, and it didn't seem like she was discussing with him at all, so Jing Xiao had no choice but to agree.

After hanging up the phone, he called Zhou Chengyan again, saying that he would not go back for the next two days, and the company's affairs would be handed over to him for the time being.

Although Zhou Chengxi kept complaining, he didn't dare to really pick on him, so he had to reluctantly agree.

For the next two days, Tang stayed in the hospital, during which she heard that Tang Hong had been detained for picking quarrels and provoking trouble and deliberately hurting people.

She subconsciously thought that Jing Xiao did it, so she didn't ask for verification.

On the afternoon of being discharged from the hospital and returning to the old mansion, Jing Xiao was going to take her back to Haicheng, after all, the affairs of the old mansion and Tang Hong were no longer her worries.

But for his proposal, Tang Duyi did not agree immediately, but thought about it for a long time in silence before slowly saying, "Why don't you go back first." ”

Her tone was light, and she couldn't hear too many mood swings, but she vaguely revealed a kind of indifference that rejected people.

"I've already asked someone to help you deal with the house matter, you don't have to worry." There was a hint of inquiry in his tone, and an inexplicable melancholy welled up in his heart.

Tang Duyi shook his head, faced him, and said seriously, "It's not because of this, I just want to stay here for a few more days." ”

Hearing this, Jing Xiao squinted her dark eyes and looked at her for a few seconds, and her thin lips opened slightly, "Okay, then I'll stay with you for a few more days." ”

As soon as she heard this, her face stiffened a little, and she barely squeezed out a smile, and asked tentatively, "Is it really okay for you to take such a long leave of absence?" ”

"No problem." He replied crisply, as if he hadn't thought about it.

Tang Duyi was choked for a moment, nodded awkwardly, and didn't say anything more.

At dinner in the evening, they barely said a word, and the only thing left for the whole table was the sound of chewing food.

"Jingxiao." The silence was shattered by her whisper.

He looked up at her and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?" ”

Tang Duyi swallowed his saliva, tried to calm his flustered emotions, and said softly, "Thank you for this incident." ”

Jing Xiao was slightly stunned, she didn't expect her to say this, hooked the corners of her mouth, and looked at her with a smile, "Gardenia, haven't you noticed that you are becoming more and more alien to me?" ”

Obviously, before they returned to Danzhou and didn't say anything, they lived in the same room and slept in the same bed.

But in just a few days, the distance between them, which had been narrowed with difficulty, once again retreated to the original point, even farther than before.

Tang Duyi was silent, hanging his head, not denying or admitting it.

Seeing this, Jing Xiao couldn't help laughing, raised her hand and touched her drooping head, her eyes were full of pampering and connivance, "Okay, I know you need time to get used to it, it's okay." ”

His words made the tip of Tang Duyi's nose sour, Xu was used to being strong alone, she always felt that she didn't deserve such love, so whenever he got closer, she would instinctively avoid it.

"You ......" After a long time, she pursed her lips and whispered, "What do you like about me?" ”

"Huh?" Jing Xiao was stunned.

"I don't know what I have to be liked." She smiled wryly and murmured, her eyes red.

Jing Xiao stared at her, gently held her shoulder, and replied with a serious look in his eyes: "Gardenia, sometimes the liking for a person is not the appearance of what the eyes see, but the result of slowly perceiving it through the heart. ”

She didn't quite understand what she meant, and she blinked twice and looked at him blankly.

Seeing this, Jing Xiao laughed and continued: "Actually, what I want to say is very simple, Gardenia, my heart has been touched by you intentionally or unintentionally, so what I like about you is from your appearance to your personality, from your smile to your every word. ”

His answer made Tang Duyi's pupils shrink, and the sockets in his eyes became even more sour, and even breathing became a little difficult.

Like her, from her smile to her words?

What an answer!

is obviously the most superficial way to confess, but it deeply tugs at her heartstrings.

In fact, in the past two days in the hospital, she also thought about a lot of things.

Jing Xiao is a good person, he has good looks, good personality, and a good family atmosphere, such a man can indeed easily capture the heart of a little girl.

Although she didn't want to admit that she was a little girl, she couldn't deny that she was attracted to him.

Especially, when she confessed everything, Jing Xiao not only didn't think she was a burden because of her family, but took the initiative to help her solve her troubles.

At that time, the softest place in her heart completely fell.

Obviously, those have nothing to do with him, but he did it so naturally, as if Jing Xiao was really trying to take on the responsibilities of a man and a husband, protecting her under his wings and sheltering her from the wind and rain.

"Actually...... It's not that I don't like you. She bit her lip and said it in a trembling voice.

"Oh?" Jing Xiao's eyes lit up instantly, as if waiting for her to say the following.

Tang Duyi raised his eyes, stared straight at his dark eyes, and said solemnly: "Jingxiao, I don't know how I feel about you now, whether I like or appreciate, but I think I can try to face up to our relationship as you said before, and try to rely on you." ”

Although from the beginning, it was because of Grandma Jing that she sent him to get married, but as she got along during this time, she subconsciously regarded Jingxiao as her relative.

This may also be because her soul is too lonely and lacks a sense of security.

But no matter what the reason is, she wants to try it, the feeling of being loved by others.

After listening to her words, Jing Xiao's eyes flashed with joy, and he reached out to hold her slender hand and held it tightly in his palm.

"Gardenia, this moment is the happiest moment I've had in so many days." His eyes locked on her beautiful and clear eyes, and his voice was low and hoarse.

Tang Duyi could clearly feel that his heartbeat became rapid, and his breathing became a little heavier.

After the two looked at each other for a long time, she took the lead in looking away, pretending to be calm and said, "I...... I'm done eating, and I'm going to wash up first. ”

With that, she broke free of his hand and turned to walk towards the bedroom.

Jing Xiao looked at her back as she left in a hurry, and laughed lowly, in a very good mood.

After hiding in the bathroom, Tang Duyi still had Jing Xiao's handsome face in her mind, and no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't drive those pictures out of her mind.

It wasn't until hot water poured over her skin that she slowly restrained the churning feelings in her heart.

When she quickly took a shower and went out, Jing Xiao sat on the sofa in the living room, looking down at her phone.

"Are you going to stay here tonight?" She subconsciously asked.

But after saying this, she bit her lip with some chagrin, feeling a little stupid.

Now that they've already spoken, Jing Xiao will definitely stay here tonight.

Jing Xiao put down her phone and looked at her sideways.

She was wearing a fluffy pajamas, the upper buttons were not buttoned, revealing a delicate and beautiful collarbone, and her slender and straight legs were faintly white and shiny.

His throat tightened inexplicably, his Adam's apple rolled twice, and a feeling of heat surged all over his body.

Sensing his abnormality, Jing Xiao hurriedly stood up, coughed in disguise, and asked rhetorically, "That...... Can I stay here tonight? ”

"Hmm." Tang Duyi replied in a low voice, but did not refuse, "Then I'll help you clean up the room." ”

After speaking, she walked to the second bedroom on the side.

Xiang Heng had lived there before, so it was better for her to change the sheets and quilt covers.

But who knows, as soon as she walked into the room, she heard a sound of footsteps behind her, and then, Jingxiao's breath enveloped her.

"I don't want to sleep where other men have slept." In his low-alcohol and magnetic voice, there was a hint of jealousy and grievance, which made people's ears tingle.

Tang Duyi sighed helplessly, turned back to meet his gaze, and discussed softly: "The other rooms haven't been cleaned yet, I'll help you change the new sheets and quilts, will you just be okay for one night?" ”

Jing Xiao raised his eyebrows, obviously unwilling.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Tang Duyi proposed again, "Otherwise, you sleep in my room, and I sleep here." ”

"Nope." He narrowed his long, charming black eyes and refused directly.

She sleeps in this room? Isn't that just a matter of letting her sleep where other men have slept before?

Tang Duyi felt a little embarrassed, this is not good, that is not good, is it possible that he still wants to sleep with him?

After thinking like this, her cheeks couldn't help but flush, and suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in her mind, and she said, "Otherwise, you should go to the hotel." ”
