Jing Xiao naturally knew what Zhou Chengxi meant, but he still retorted slowly: "But according to the current point of view, the sandpiper and the clam have no intention of fighting, so it is very likely that the one who gains is not the fisherman." ”

"At this point, it's up to us to muddy the water." Zhou Chengyan smiled slyly and reminded, "When my grandmother went to see Tang Hong, I also went, although I didn't hear what they talked about, but I think everything is possible." ”

Jing Xiao twisted his eyebrows, was silent for a moment, and sneered: "How could Tang Hong tell his grandmother what threatened Qian Lin?" ”

"Of course we know it's impossible, but Qian Lin doesn't necessarily think so." Zhou Chengyan stood up with a smile, paced to the desk, and looked at him with a smug expression.

Jing Xiao didn't rush to speak, and after a while, he burst out laughing, "This trick is ruthless enough." ”

"How can a person who has a ghost in his heart not be afraid of knocking on the door in the middle of the night?" As he spoke, Zhou Chengyan waved his hand at him, turned around and walked towards the door, "Okay, I'm off work, bye." ”

Looking at the back of him leaving, the corners of Jing Xiao's mouth outlined a shallow smile with unknown meaning.

This scene is getting more and more exciting, and he can't wait to see the result.

At around seven o'clock in the evening, Jing Xiao returned home.

When he got downstairs, he received a call from his grandmother.

Old Madam Jing knew that they were back, so she called and prepared to ask him to find time to take Tang Duyi home for dinner.

Although Jing Xiao agreed, he was still a little entangled in his heart, after all, taking her back now also indicates that he wants to confess his identity, and he still needs psychological construction for a while.

When she got home, Aunt Man had already prepared dinner, Tang Duyi was watching TV in the living room, and the two chatted comfortably.

The sound of laughter spread in the room, Jing Xiao was stunned for a moment, then closed the door and stepped into the house.

After hearing the movement, Aunt Man was the first to see him and greeted him with a smile, "Mr. Jing is back." ”

Tang Duyi looked up at him and asked casually. "You haven't been to the office in a few days, are you okay?"

"It's fine." He replied lightly, his eyes always falling on her, as if he had something to say, but he hesitated and didn't speak for a long time.

Tang Duyi was keenly aware of his unusual tonight, and when he was about to ask, he took the first step, "I'll go back to the bedroom to change clothes first." ”

After dropping these words, he went straight to the bedroom.

Tang Duyi looked at his back in a daze, and his eyebrows gradually frowned.

She always felt that this guy was weird tonight.

However, she didn't think much of it, and continued to watch TV, waiting for him to come over for dinner after changing his clothes.

After returning to the bedroom, Jing Xiao didn't see anything belonging to Tang Duyi in the room, so he knew that they would go back to the days of living in separate rooms.

Soon, a strong sense of disappointment and bitterness welled up in his heart, and when the feeling of powerlessness grew, he only sighed.

When he came out after changing his clothes, Tang Duyi was still sitting on the sofa, but his attention had shifted from the TV to his mobile phone, which seemed to be replying to messages.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, she looked up at Jing Xiao who was walking towards her, put down her phone, "Let's eat." ”

"Okay." He nodded slightly, hiding the feeling of loss in his heart.

After taking a seat at the table, the atmosphere between them was a little awkward.

Aunt Man naturally saw the subtle changes between them, but she didn't say much, just thinking about how to report the situation to Mrs. Jing for a while.

Tang Duyi hadn't adapted to the changes in the relationship with Jing Xiao yet, so he didn't know what to say for a while, so he could only eat quietly with his head down.

And Jing Xiao is struggling with when to confess his identity to her at the moment, so his mood is extremely dull.

In the end, it was he who was the first to speak, breaking the silence.

"By the way, the money you gave your father, the lawyer will find a way to help you get it back."

As soon as he heard this, Tang Duyi's eyes dimmed, and he stared at him suspiciously for a while, and asked, "Can you come back too?" ”

"Hmm." He nodded firmly, and then added, "The lawyer will have a way to deal with this matter." ”

Tang Duyi just nodded slightly, didn't say anything, lowered his eyes, and continued to pull the rice in the bowl.

"Do you think there's something wrong?" After a long time, Jing Xiao raised his eyebrows, as if he was testing something.

"No, thank you, I'm done, I'll go back to my room first." She put down her chopsticks, got up, bypassed him, and went straight back to her room.

Jing Xiao looked at her back, pursed her lips and fell into deep thought.

After returning to the room, Tang Duyi sat on the edge of the bed, holding the picture frame on the bedside table, her eyes full of tears.

Although she hated Tang Hong, hated what he had done to her, hated his greed and shamelessness, but when she really wanted to tear her face with him and break off her righteousness, she would still inexplicably think of the days when their family lived in Danzhou.

Even if that harmonious time was only a few short years, those were the days she had just remembered, and they were the origin of memories.

"Grandma, will you blame me?" She looked at the picture and muttered, a tear falling straight down it.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, and she quickly wiped the tears from her face and put the photo back in its place, "Come in." ”

Immediately afterwards, the door was pushed open, Jing Xiao stood at the door and didn't come in, seeing her red eyes, she subconsciously frowned.

"What's wrong?" His voice was slightly thick with concern and concern.

Tang Duyi shook his head, tried to pull out a smile, and asked rhetorically, "Is there something wrong?" ”

Hearing this, Jing Xiao paused, then stepped into the house, and said slowly: "Actually, it's nothing, it's just that grandpa is sick, and grandma wants us to go home for dinner in a few days." ”

After thinking about it for a long time, he still felt that it was better to confess his identity earlier, because it would be more difficult for them to accept it and be more likely to think crankily after delaying it.

After hearing this, Tang Duyi behaved very calmly, nodded, and had no objection to this.

"Don't you have anything to tell me?" Jing Xiao's brows tightened more and more, and his eyes were fixed on her, as if he wanted to gain some insight from her demeanor.

Tang Duyi knew that what he was referring to was that he hadn't moved back to the master bedroom, so he didn't shy away from meeting his inquiring gaze and looked at him honestly, "I think it's good." ”

Faced with her answer, Jing Xiao didn't ask any further, "I'm very tired these days, you can rest well at night." ”

With that, he turned and strode out of the room.

When Tang Duyi was the only one left in the room, she reached out and covered her chest.

She felt her heart beat a lot faster, and she took a deep breath, trying to calm herself.

Just now, she thought that Jing Xiao would approach suddenly like before, and then bewitch and tease her and let them live together tonight.

She was wrong, though, and he didn't do that.

Or rather, she was thinking too much.

A peaceful night, but it was so difficult to sleep.

When Tang Duyi was originally in her hometown in Danzhou, her insomnia had been improved, but after returning to Haicheng, she began to suffer from insomnia again.

Tossing and turning until midnight, she didn't feel the slightest sleep, but was a little hungry.

After a moment's hesitation, she got up and walked out of the bedroom.

It was already two o'clock in the morning, and Aunt Man had already rested, so she could only go to the kitchen to find food by herself.

Even afraid of waking them, she didn't even dare to turn on the light, so she could only use the flashlight of her mobile phone to illuminate it.

As soon as she walked to the refrigerator, the light in the living room suddenly turned on, and she was startled, and the mobile phone in her hand almost fell off.

"Why don't you turn on the lights when you're looking for something?" Jing Xiao asked lightly, he was standing not far away at this time, staring straight at her.

Tang Duyi turned his head to look in his direction, bit his lip slightly, and after hesitating for a moment, he explained a little awkwardly: "I...... I'm just thirsty. ”

With that, she took a bottle of milk out of the fridge.

When the refrigerator door was closed, Jing Xiao had already stepped in front of her, and her tall body blocked her from leaving.

"Hungry?" He asked, his deep, mellow voice a little magnetic.

When she ate at night, she didn't eat much absent-mindedly, and she had the habit of eating supper, and now she came out to look through the refrigerator, naturally it wouldn't be as simple as being thirsty.

Tang Duyi blinked his big puzzled eyes and didn't answer, but that little expression already said everything.

Seeing this, Jing Xiao's eyes couldn't help but fall on the milk in her hand, and advised, "Don't drink ice in the middle of the night." ”

His voice sounded cold, but it was full of concern.

Tang Duyi's heart throbbed suddenly, and she looked at him in a daze, forgetting how to react.

"I see." After a long time, she replied slowly.

As she spoke, she caught a glimpse that Jing Xiao had opened the refrigerator again and put back the bottle of milk in her hand.

"Is it okay to eat noodles?" After looking at the refrigerator, he asked, his handsome features with a light soft color.

Tang Duyi shook his head and politely declined his proposal, "It's late, I won't eat it." ”

Jing Xiao stood still and didn't move, his dark eyes narrowed slightly, and a complicated look flashed under his eyes, "Can you sleep hungry?" ”

As soon as he said this, Tang Duyi suddenly felt a hunger sensation coming from his abdomen.

In the end, she compromised, "Then you go and rest, I'll cook some noodles to eat." ”

As she spoke, she looked in the refrigerator and took out a few ingredients.

"I'll do it anyway." Jing Xiao grabbed her wrist violently.

His voice was low and melodious, with a seductive flavor.

Tang Duyi froze in place, letting him sit down on the dining chair and watch him take what he was holding.

"Just wait." Jing Xiao frowned and said, and then walked to the kitchen without saying a word.

Her lips opened and closed, and in the end she just said awkwardly, "Thank you." ”

Jing Xiao bowed her head indifferently, didn't say anything more, but focused on starting to make her supper.

Looking at his skillful appearance, the corners of Tang Duyi's mouth couldn't help but outline a light smile, and an inexplicable sense of happiness swelled in his heart.

Now Jing Xiao can be said to be the same as before, this change makes him more charming and more exciting.
