She lowered her head and picked at her sleeves nervously.
"Mr. Xi, why are you here?"
Xi Jiu was silent for two seconds and said, "I miss you."
Ruan Qi's little paws holding her sleeves shook.
She couldn't believe that the usually taciturn man could say such straightforward words, and raised her head in surprise.
Under the dim light, Xi Jiu's black eyes stared at her solemnly, with deep feelings that made people sink.
The little girl felt numb all over when he saw her, and she looked away in panic.
"Xi, Mr. Xi Xi, you..."
Ding dong!
The cell phone rang suddenly.
Ruan Qi was so embarrassed that she didn't know what to do, so she quickly turned on her phone.
[Feng Qin: Miss Ruan, should you take one pill every night before going to bed? 】
Xi Jiu, who has excellent eyesight, saw Feng Qin's name and his eyes darkened.
Ruan Qi replied "um" to Feng Qin, then turned off her phone and secretly looked at the corner of the man's clothes next to her.
Today, Xi Jiu is wearing a pair of dark trousers and a dark blue V-neck sweater. He is wearing a long black wool coat outside, and he has an aura of iron-bloodedness, coldness, and nobility.
The little girl's face turned red. She glanced at the time and asked in a low voice, "Mr. Xi, have you finished your meal?"
Xi Jiu paused and nodded, "Eat."
Ruan Qi: "What do you want to eat?"
"..." Xi Jiu coughed, "The set meal on the plane."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ruan Qi's cell phone rang again.
She opened WeChat.
[Xiao Mumu: Miss Ruan, the boss is busy flying to see you and hasn’t had time to eat yet.]
Xi Jiu, who has good eyesight: "..."
He looked away slightly guiltily.
The little girl turned off her phone, raised her head and looked at him angrily, "Mr. Xi, how can you lie to others?"
After saying that, without waiting for the man to reply, she stuck her butt out and climbed onto the driver's seat.
Xi Jiu quickly supported her.
"what are you up to?"
"I'll take you to dinner." Ruan Qi climbed to the driver's seat smoothly and wanted to push the gear lever.
Xi Jiu recalled the little girl's godlike driving skills, her face changed slightly, and she quickly grabbed her little paw.
Little girl: "?"
The man coughed and said, "I'll drive it."
Ruan Qi had no objection to who was driving. She nodded and obediently climbed into the passenger seat and sat down.
Xi Jiu opened the car door and got into the driver's seat. The black business car drove slowly.
…
Half an hour later, the car stopped in front of a restaurant.
Ruan Qi put on a mask and looked around through the car window to make sure there were no paparazzi. She put her coat on her head, opened the door and got out of the car.
Xi Jiu immediately held her in his arms and quickly walked into the box he had just reserved.
The steaming hot meals were served, dispelling the chill of early winter.
Xi Jiu opened the hot walnut juice, poured it into a cup and pushed it in front of the little girl.
The little girl bent her eyes and smiled sweetly at him.
The man's cold eyes became gentle, and he used serving chopsticks to help her pick up her favorite chicken wings.
"Eat."
The little girl said obediently, then picked up a piece of bamboo shoot and put it in his bowl.
Xi Jiu looked at the braised bamboo shoots in the bowl and was stunned for a moment.
"You..." His throat felt a little stiff, "How did you know that I like to eat bamboo shoots?"
Ruan Qi: "The last time I had dinner at your house, the housekeeper placed the braised bamboo shoots closest to you. And I noticed, Mr. Xi, you eat this bamboo shoot the most~"
The little girl's smile was like the warm sunshine in winter, and her beautiful peach blossom eyes were filled with the most straightforward concern.
Like a warm little sun, it crashes into a man's heart recklessly and dispels all the darkness.
Xi Jiu's heart felt hot.
The chopsticks in his hand fell to the table with a clang.
The little girl sitting next to him was pulled into his arms.
The cold rosin scent on the man's body instantly surrounded Ruan Qi.
She was like a frightened little rabbit, her peach blossom eyes widened suddenly, and she wanted to push away reflexively.
"Ruan Qi,"
Xi Jiu's hoarse voice sounded in her ears, "Let me hold you for a minute, just one minute."
The little girl suddenly stopped pushing.
She bit her lower lip hesitantly and slowly lowered her hand.
It was extremely quiet in the box.
Ruan Qi's ears were filled with the sound of Xi Jiu's breathing and the sound of her strong heartbeat.
The man's heartbeat was very fast, hitting her eardrums one after another, disturbing her heart.
One minute is short but long.
When Xi Jiu let go of Ruan Qi, the little girl's face was already as red as a monkey's ass.
There was intoxicating tenderness in the man's eyes.
He ruffled her hair and said in a deep voice: "Thank you for not pushing me away."
"..." The little girl's face turned redder.
She nervously dug into her sleeves, and stammered and said aggressively: "Eat, eat!"
A loving and joyful chuckle slowly flowed from Xi Jiu's thin lips.
…
Maybe it was because the hug just now broke Ruan Qi's limit. On the way back, she didn't speak.
While driving, Xi Jiu paid attention to her with his peripheral vision.
The little girl seemed to be thinking about something, her pretty face was sometimes confused and sometimes confused.
Worry flashed across Xi Jiu's eyes.
Did he scare her just now?
Or is she unable to accept her own hug?
Xi Jiu's heart sank when she thought of the latter possibility.
The anxiety and panic I felt when I saw the scandal between the little girl and Feng Qin resurfaced again.
He tightened his grip on the steering wheel and calmly suppressed the dark light in his eyes.
In this awkward atmosphere, we arrived at the hotel.
Xi Jiu stopped the car and turned to look at the little girl who was still distracted.
He stared at her for a while, then sighed helplessly, stretched out his big hand and rubbed the top of her head twice.
Ruan Qi raised his head blankly.
"Xiao Qi, we've arrived at the hotel." Xi Jiu said.
The little girl looked at the slightly familiar scenery around her and said "Oh" in a daze.
She scratched her hair and said, "Mr. Xi... shall I leave then?"
Xi Jiu said a deep 'hmm', then turned around and took out a backpack from the carpet in the back seat of the car.
"There are snacks inside," he handed her the bag, "all newly made by the chef at home."
Ruan Qi was holding her bag, looking a little dazed.
"It's getting late, you go back and have a rest early." Xi Jiu pressed the car lock button with cold eyes and gentle eyes, "Tell me when you get back to the room."
The little girl seemed a little distracted.
She nodded slowly, put on her mask, and walked out of the car with her bag in her arms.
Suddenly, she seemed to have made some decision and turned around suddenly.
"Mr. Xi!" the little girl called.
She looked at the man in the car nervously and stammered, "Today, the scandal on the Internet today is false. Mr. Feng and I have only met twice. There is no relationship at all. Don't get me wrong!"
After saying that, like a frightened little rabbit, she hugged her backpack and ran away.
Xi Jiu stared blankly at her fleeing back.
After a long time, he slowly exhaled, leaned on the steering wheel, and a pleasant and deep laugh escaped from his thin lips.
