Originally, Xie Jinhuan had prepared a bottle of collectible red wine, but Mrs. Xie kept letting Tang Qiaoer drink fruit juice, so the eldest lady drank orange juice, grape juice, pineapple juice all night... and she could grow an orchard in her belly.
After the meal, Zhou Ma took Mrs. Xie to play, also to create an opportunity for the young master and his sweetheart to be alone.
Xie Jinhuan took Tang Qiaoer to visit his villa, and also took her to appreciate his collection of antique calligraphy and paintings, such as Tang Yin's "Picture of Peony" in the Ming Dynasty, "Picture of Garden with Snow" in the Song Dynasty, and the heart-turning bottle of the royal family in the Qing Dynasty...
All these treasures can fetch staggeringly high prices when put at auction!
Tang Qiaoer stood in front of the desk, admiring the ancient paintings with a magnifying glass, her apricot eyes sparkling, and her love was beyond words.
"Do you like it? If you like it, I'll pack it and you can take it away." Xie Jinhuan supported the bed with his long arms and turned his head to look at her with a smile.
She admires paintings.
He admires her.
"Pack it up? You have to know that the price of the things you have here is at least seven figures, and they are all authentic. Emperors in ancient times were probably reluctant to give them to others, but you actually want me to pack them all up and take them away?"
Tang Qiaoer straightened up, looked at Xie Dafang through the magnifying glass mischievously, and blinked, "Are you an antique collector, or are you a tinkerer with antiques?
If you are really a lover, you should be like my old man Wan. He will be jealous of anyone who touches him, let alone anyone else."
Xie Jinhuan curled his lips and smiled, his voice was soft and charming, "I am only generous to two people, one is you and the other is Uncle Tang."
Tang Qiaoer's heart shrank and she pursed her red lips.
Fourth Young Master Xie and the dog man are completely at opposite ends of the spectrum. One is a man who spews obscene words like crazy, while the other is hard to hear a good word from his mouth even with a gun pressed against his head.
"Lao Wan is a very greedy person. If he knows that you have something good in your hands, and if he sees that you are so generous, he won't give up until he strips you of all your wool."
"Uncle Tang likes it, just take it. I, Xie Jinhuan, have no merits, and these are the only things that can catch Uncle Tang's eyes, so I won't begrudge them." Xie Jinhuan's tone couldn't be more sincere.
"What about you? Is there anything you want? Apart from sharing a piece of the Xie family's pie." Tang Qiaoer asked thoughtfully.
Xie Jinhuan's eyes were filled with emotion, and he softly said one word in his heart: "You."
"It's snowing, Qiaoqiao." But what he said was another sentence.
"Really?!"
Tang Qiaoer's face turned bright, her beautiful eyes filled with excited light, shining like stars.
She liked snowy days very much. When she was very young, her mother would hold her in the backyard and enjoy the snow, holding her little hand and paddling on the ice.
"Let's go enjoy the snow."
Xie Jinhuan took Tang Qiaoer to the balcony. As soon as she opened the door, she was deeply attracted by the beautiful scenery in front of her.
The snow is flying all over the sky, like tearing cotton wadding, flying one after another.
"It's so beautiful!" Tang Qiaoer looked up at the night sky and exclaimed excitedly.
Xie Jinhuan, who was standing behind her, hurriedly took off his suit, put it on her shoulders, and wrapped it tightly. His voice was so gentle that he said, "The snow scene is beautiful, but it won't be good if you catch a cold."
Tang Qiaoer suddenly felt that the chill in her body was dissipated by the body heat of the bad man in the suit.
She turned her face sideways and met Xie Jinhuan's hot gaze.
Tang Qiaoer: "You..."
The man's heartbeat became stronger and his breathing became faster.
"Your glasses are frosted, can you still see the snow?" Tang Qiaoer asked seriously.
Xie Jinhuan was startled for a moment, then smiled slightly, his eyes not hiding the deep affection for her at all.
Qiaoqiao, do you know?
There is a saying in Mori Country: If you want to marry her, just watch the first snow with her.
Tang Qiaoer's eyes were full of joy, and she didn't care that her pretty face was red from the cold. She raised her hand to catch the snowflakes.
Xie Jinhuan's eyes darkened, and he had the urge to catch this little hand and never let go.
At this time, the cell phone rang at an inappropriate time.
Tang Qiaoer glanced at the screen and her expression changed slightly.
Shen Jingjue's name, to this day, is still something that cannot be ignored in her eyes.
When Xie Jinhuan saw a call from his love rival, a cold light suddenly flashed through his gold-rimmed glasses, and he called softly: "Qiaoqiao."
Tang Qiaoer's eyes darkened, but she still chose to answer, "Hello."
In an instant, Xie Jinhuan's eyes were full of disappointment.
His heart was filled with hatred for Shen Jingjue.
At this moment, Shen Jingjue was looking at the bright windows in the distance. He didn't know where Tang Qiaoer was behind that window, and he didn't know if he would see her. His voice was deep and hoarse.
"Qiao'er, it's snowing. This is the first snow in Shengjing in winter."
"yes."
Tang Qiaoer's face was expressionless, "So you called me, what's the matter?"
Shen Jingjue was choked and speechless for a moment. After a few seconds, he summoned up the courage to ask sincerely: "Can I invite you to enjoy the snow tonight?"
"Mr. Shen, are you a fish? Your memory only lasts seven seconds?" Tang Qiaoer frowned in surprise.
"I'm not."
"What is my relationship with you? Do you think it's appropriate?"
"It's better than Xie Jinhuan."
Shen Jing felt that these words made him feel sad.
Tang Qiao'er felt angry again and wanted to laugh a little, "Oh, I don't feel that way."
"Tang Qiao'er, I won't leave until you see her tonight." The man was unreasonably stubborn.
"If you don't leave, I won't leave here tonight." Tang Qiaoer was even more stubborn than him.
"Tang Qiao'er...are you going to make me mad to death?"
Shen Jingjue stared at his red star eyes and couldn't help but cover his chest with his left hand. He felt that it was so suffocating that it was difficult to breathe, and the smell of blood filled his throat. "You want to stay at Xie Jinhuan's house? Do you know what you are doing?" "
Tang Qiaoer felt a surge of anger in her heart.
She carried Xie Jinhuan on her back and walked to the corner. She took a deep breath and said in a low voice: "Mr. Shen, you saved my life last time. I am very grateful to you. But this does not mean that you can use this as a blackmail to force me again and again." Do things I don’t want to do.”
"I just want to watch the first snow of winter with you, that's all!"
"But I don't want to! Shen Jingjue, I don't want to at all!"
Tang Qiaoer roared uncontrollably, and her overreaction frightened Shen Jingjue.
Xie Jinhuan couldn't help but quickly walked behind her and gently held her trembling shoulders with both hands.
"Qiaoqiao...what's wrong with you?" Xie Jinhuan deliberately brought his lips close to her ear and whispered softly.
Shen Jingjue heard every word without saying a word!
Tang Qiaoer closed her red eyes and her whole body was shaking uncontrollably.
What came to her mind was Christmas Eve two years ago.
On Christmas Eve that year, Shengjing received its first belated snowfall.
The car accident, the bleeding...and her and Shen Jingjue's child, who was only less than two months old.
With the pain of almost tearing her apart, I was cruelly and bloodyly separated from her, and we said goodbye to her forever without even meeting each other.
And what was Shen Jingjue doing at that time?
He went to Country M for his White Moonlight, just to spend one Christmas with her.
Before she sent her grandfather to the hospital and before he fainted, she made a phone call to Shen Jingjue.
But what was waiting for her was a cold busy tone.
Tang Qiaoer gasped as if she were drowning, and the pain was like a huge wave that was about to engulf her mercilessly.
Suddenly, her vision went dark, and her delicate body lost weight and was about to collapse.
"Qiao Qiao!"
The moment she fell, Xie Jinhuan held her deeply in his arms.
His deep and dark eyes were filled with angry bloodshot eyes, gradually going crazy.
…
Shen Jingjue stood alone in the ice and snow, with a layer of snow covering his head and shoulders.
He waited impatiently, ready to stay here all night.
Suddenly, the iron door outside the villa opened.
Shen Jing felt like a flashback, and his whole body was shaken up!
However, the next second, his heart suddenly sank.
The person with a pale and gloomy face walking straight towards him was Xie Jinhuan.
"Where's Qiaoqiao?" Shen Jingjue clenched his fists and looked at him fiercely.
Xie Jinhuan pushed up his glasses, with a cold smile on his lips, and his eyes were full of the arrogance of a winner, "She will stay at my house tonight and will not go back, let alone reward you with snow. At this moment , already rested.
If you are still a decent person and have some dignity, then leave here immediately. I am going back to accompany her."
Shen Jingjue felt as if he had been struck by lightning, his voice was tight and hoarse, "Xie Jinhuan... are you very proud? You can be with Qiao'er only because of your scheming and calculations!"
"Yes, so what?"
Xie Jinhuan's greedy and ruthless eyes were completely different from those in front of Tang Qiaoer, "I am willing to go to great lengths for the woman I love, and I have a clear conscience.
It’s not like some people who become bitches and still have to set up memorials. They are obviously a scumbag at heart, but they still have to set up a bullshit love affair in front of Qiao Qiao.”
"Xie Jinhuan!" Shen Jingjue roared tremblingly, and the smell of blood in his throat became even stronger.
"In the three years of your marriage to Qiaoqiao, as far as I know, you have never spent a single holiday with Qiaoqiao, right? Valentine's Day in the first year, Christmas in the second year, and that Miss Jin You spent all her birthdays with her, right?"
Xie Jinhuan smiled jokingly, "On such a romantic day as tonight, you should go find your Miss Jin. Are you humiliating her by coming to Qiaoqiao?"
Shen was shocked to find that all the blood on his face was gone, and his chest was so painful that it was crushing the giant wheel.
"Shen Jingjue, as a love rival and rival, I am investigating these things just because I feel sorry for Qiaoqiao and I will protect her and never let everything happen again."
There was no smile in Xie Jinhuan's eyes, and he was so cold that he said, "Go away, someone who is dirty inside and out is not worthy of staying by Qiaoqiao's side."
The man left and everything was silent.
Standing alone in the wind and snow, Shen Jingjue felt as if he had been frozen, unable to respond for a long time.
Suddenly, he bowed suddenly and covered his mouth.
"Well--!"
His eyes widened, and he felt a moist heat in his palms.
Then droplets of thick blood fell to the ground, blending with the snow.
…
Xie Jinhuan returned to the villa and was not in a hurry to visit Tang Qiaoer, who was still in a coma.
He walked gently upstairs, walked into the study, and called up the surveillance video outside the villa in front of the computer.
Xie Jinhuan sat leisurely on the leather chair, intending to appreciate the tragic scene of Shen Jingjue's death, but unexpectedly, he saw a scene that surprised him even more!
In the picture, the originally strong and handsome man was kneeling on one knee in the snow, breathing hard and his mouth was red!
is blood.
He's... vomiting blood?!
"Ha...hahaha...Shen Jingjue, you really brought me a huge surprise tonight."
Xie Jinhuan kept his eyes on the screen, took out his mobile phone and dialed his secretary's number.
"Mr. Xie, what are your instructions?"
"Go and check on Shen Jingjue's recent physical condition. What diseases or injuries has he suffered? Which hospital he has been to? Report them all to me."
