18. If you like her

The person who shouted Jin Zichen was Xiao Qian, she happened to push the door outside the box to look for Xia Xia at that time, and as soon as she found her, she saw this scene in front of her, and thought that this man was pulling Xia Xia to do something to her, so she hurriedly rushed forward.

But her voice was not loud and did not attract anyone's attention.

Xiao Qian said to Jin Zichen in an indifferent and polite tone: "I'm sorry for this gentleman, I'm going to take Mr. Xia away." ”

Oh, dress up well, I didn't expect to covet Mr. Xia's beauty, make her so drunk, and want to plot against her!!

After that, Xiao Qian bypassed Jin Zichen and picked up the summer who was sitting on the sofa in a daze.

"Mr. Xia, Mr. Xia." Xiao Qian looked at Xia Xia's crimson face with some concern, "I'm Xiao Qian." ”

Of course, Xia Xia recognized Xiao Qian, although her alcohol consumption was not very good, but she still knew her bottom line in this kind of drinking game, she was not too drunk, but she drank a little fast in front and nodded.

After standing firm in the summer, he apologized to Jin Zichen and said, "I'm sorry Mr. Jin, my secretary didn't understand the situation." ”

Jin Zichen bowed his head and smiled generously: "It's okay, I can understand." ”

"Then let's go first, I wish Mr. Jin a good time." Xia Xia gathered the blazer on his body and patted Xiao Qian's hand.

Jin Zichen turned sideways to make way for the two of them, and raised his eyebrows as he looked at the figures of the two leaving.

Interesting. Did he just be treated as a bad guy by this assistant girl who poured her boss's wine?

Her boss is also interesting, she looks so beautiful, is it a female star who called to play with her, or a senior executive of a company, or whose wife?

Out of the box, Xiao Qian blushed and hurriedly apologized to Summer: "Yes... I'm sorry Mr. Xia, I don't know about him...... He is the president of Jin. ”

"It's fine." Summer replied with a reassuring smile, "Thank you for waiting for me so late today." ”

Xiao Qian hung her head with some self-reproach, she messed up, she would definitely make this famous Jin President secretly hate Mr. Xia, I heard that these rich big bosses will do anything for their own happiness, in case he retaliates against Mr. Xia at work......

On the way home, in the summer, I leaned on the slightly open window of the car, letting the cool evening breeze blow into the car.

She pursed her lips with half-squinted eyes, her eyes were on the street that was passing quickly outside the window, and her mind recalled the scene where Han Jingxuan kissed her tonight.

She is not a refusal to come, but she is not resistant to them approaching with a purpose, after all, in this circle, people who talk sincerely should have been kicked out of the game a long time ago.

It's just that she doesn't know why, just the moment Han Jingxuan was about to kiss her, Ling Ziyin's smiling face suddenly appeared in front of her.

His eyes were crooked, and two shallow dimples appeared on his cheeks.

Drink too much, you summer, she closed her eyes, let the cool breeze blow her hair, and then cover her face.

After Xiao Qian parked Summer's car in the underground parking lot at the bottom of her house, Summer called her an online car-hailing car and deliberately checked the female driver, Xiao Qian was both moved and blamed herself, for fear that her impulsive behavior would bring trouble to Summer tonight.

Although Xia Xia had told her more than once that she was fine, she still couldn't help but think of the expression on which Mr. Jin looked at her.

Although the dim light could not be completely seen, she clearly saw the coldness and seriousness on Jin Zichen's face, he was so tall and wore a straight suit, he was extremely oppressive, and he was not a good talker at first glance.

(Jin Zichen, who was still in the wine bureau: Ahh οΌ‰

After opening the door of the house in the summer, I quickly took off the high heels of this bundle of feet, and the moment I stepped on the flat ground, I felt that the whole person was relaxed.

Putting the bag on the entryway cabinet, she fumbled in the dark to turn on the light, and once again remembered that when Ling Ziyin first came to her house, the two of them were also in this dark entrance, and he couldn't find the switch of the light, and he couldn't match her lips.

Xia Xia walked into the bathroom with some annoyance, and began to wonder if it was because Ling Ziyin had been in the United States for too long, and he was already a little dissatisfied.

Looking at myself in the mirror, my makeup is already a little incomplete, but it is still beautiful and moving.

This is the only place she can thank her scumbag parents.

Removing makeup, bathing, skin care, and by the time she got to bed, it was almost half past three.

She turned the morning alarm back for an hour, and a message popped up in the WeChat pop-up window.

Suddenly, a very strange intuition told her that this WeChat must have been sent to her by Ling Ziyin.

Sure enough.

[Ling Ziyin: I was on my way to Joanne's house, and she invited me to afternoon tea. 】

Joanne was one of the mentors she had the best relationship with when she was studying at UXL in the summer, a lovely old lady in her late 65s, who kept saying that she had knitted a scarf for her, and a painting of her grandson, and a bracelet she saw at a market that was perfect for summer......

[Summer: Can you please buy me a bouquet of flowers for her?] 】

Ling Ziyin replied in seconds [Why haven't you slept yet? 】

Then another picture was sent, holding a cake box in his hand and a well-wrapped bouquet of carnations lying in the crook of his arm.

[Ling Ziyin: Miss Xia, are you satisfied? 】

Summer looked at the message he sent, and unconsciously hooked the corners of her lips: [Thank you, she likes desserts the most. 】

Ling Ziyin got out of the car outside a small brick-red bungalow, the courtyard door was open, and it was full of all kinds of flowers, and the stone path leading to the door of the house was decorated with childlike ornaments on both sides.

An old man in a floral dress, with gray but neatly combed hair and a red card, was slightly bent over to water the flowers.

β€œHi, Joanne!” Ling Ziyin walked to the garden gate and greeted her.

Joanne turned around and warmly invited him into the house.

(The rest of the conversation was in English, but it was replaced in Chinese for ease of reading.)

After Ling Ziyin entered the door, she smelled a strong aroma of coffee mixed with the mellow aroma of nuts, Joanne's home was very warmly furnished, and there were pastoral handicrafts everywhere, just like her first impression, warm and friendly.

"Are you Silvia's boyfriend?" Joanne walked up to Ling Ziyin with a white ceramic cup and handed it to him, it was a cup of hot coffee.

Silvia is probably the English name for summer...... Ling Ziyin took the cup and replied, "Ah...... I'm hers, friend. ”

Joanne smiled, then opened the cake box that Ling Ziyin had brought her, and inside was a rose lychee-flavored mille-feuille.

She happily said that she liked the taste very much, and cut two pieces for Ling Ziyin to taste with her.

The cream mixed with the aroma of flowers and fruits spread in Ling Ziyin's mouth, he picked up the coffee again and took a sip, the slight bitterness was just neutralized by the sweetness of the cake.

Joanne took out a large box of gifts she had prepared for the summer, and took them out one by one to tell Ling Ziyin about them, and told a lot about some of the things that happened when she was studying here before the summer.

"You know, Silvia has never been late for my class?"

"Silvia once brought me a packet of cinnamon-flavored biscuits, and it turned out that she didn't like cinnamon because she bought the wrong one hahaha."

"There were a lot of men in our class who pursued Silvia before."

He listened attentively, as if he himself was involved in the past related to summer, when summer was ...... What is it like?

The two were chatting happily when the door suddenly opened, and a foreign man walked in.

"Hi dear." Bryant was slightly stunned when he saw Ling Ziyin, "Who is this?" ”

"This is Silvia's friend." Joanne quickly got up and took the bag from Bryant's hand, "Leo, he's my husband Bryant. ”

β€œLeoοΌŸβ€ Bryant felt very familiar after hearing this name, so he quickly put on his slippers and walked to the living room, and at this time, Ling Ziyin also stood up and wanted to greet him.

Both of them exclaimed in surprise when they saw each other's looks, "Professor Bryant? / "It's you, Leo! ”

Bryant was the professor of the economic modeling class at Ling, and Ling Ziyin was the top student in Bryant's class that year, so he has always had a deep impression of this solitary and taciturn Asian student.

"That's too much of a coincidence, are you friends with Silvia? She was my wife's favorite student. Bryant smiled so happily that he excitedly shouted to Joanne, who was sorting out the shoe closet at the door, "Honey, Leo is also my student, I mentioned it to you!" That very good and handsome Asian boy. ”

"Oh my God, I'm going to leave a message for Silvia, it's a wonderful fate." Seeing Joanne happily take out her mobile phone, Ling Ziyin's heart tightened, but there was no reason to stop it.

Forget it, it shouldn't hurt to let her know that he's her junior.

The three chatted for an afternoon, and before leaving, Joanne also gave Ling Ziyin a gift, which was a scarf she knitted, the same style as the summer one, but his one was gray, and the summer one was pale pink.

Joanne says it's a scarf she's prepared for her family this winter, and summer feels like family to her.

One Christmas, Bryant went to England for an academic exchange, and her son's family went on an island vacation, and she spent the summer together.

"I still remember that she wrapped dumplings filled with cabbage and meat, which were very delicious." Joanne recalls the summer when her eyes seemed to be shining with tears, "She was a very smart, strong and brave girl. ”

"So Leo, if you like her, make sure you take advantage of it."

When Ling Ziyin heard this, he looked up at Joanne in some surprise: "You...... How do you ......?"

"Your eyes light up every time you hear Silvia's name, and you're so interested in her story that you don't really think I'm too old to find out, do you?" Joanne patted Ling Ziyin's shoulder, "Don't worry, I'll keep it secret for you." ”

Ling Ziyin did not answer directly, but asked the couple to take good care of their bodies and come to see them when they had time.

He stood on the side of the road with the box of Joanne's gifts for the summer waiting for the taxi he hailed, with mixed feelings.

When Joanne chatted with him, she accidentally revealed that when she was studying at UXL, she did a lot of internships at the same time in the summer, and Joanne said that she always studied hard, worked, and worked hard all the time.

Does it have anything to do with her family?

He clicked on the text message and typed a string of numbers into the recipient.

[Help me check Xia Jie.] 】

The thumb was placed on top of the send button, but Ling Ziyin didn't press it for a long time, and then he shifted his finger to the delete button and deleted the words entered into the dialog box one by one.

He promised her that he would not make up his own mind.
