Seeing some traces of cream on the corner of Tong Xiaoye's mouth, Xuan Jin didn't even think about it. He reached out and gently wiped it off for her. His slightly rough fingertips quickly brushed the slightly moist corner of Tong Xiaoye's lips.
The two of them were startled at the same time, and there was an inexplicable familiar feeling, which made Tong Xiaoye feel frightened and confused, as if his heart was being gently torn apart, with a slight pain but deep inside.
After a pause, Tong Xiaoye hurriedly picked up the tissue on the table and wiped the corners of her lips, her movements a little hasty and her expression a little flustered.
"It's okay, it's just -" Xuan Jinmo tried to keep his composure while speaking, and said a little faster, "It's just that the corners of his mouth are a little creamy, haha, I'm wondering, if the familiar Officer Tong returns to the police station like this, will he
Everyone will find it a little surprising.”
Tong Xiaoye also smiled awkwardly, her face turned slightly red, and she said hastily: "Yes, haha, yes. Everyone will definitely find it strange, and they will."
There was an awkward calm once again on the table.
Tong Xiaoye stirred the cream on the cake on the paper plate in front of her with the fork in her hand. Her heart was in a mess. Suddenly, she blurted out, "Are you telling the truth?"
Xuan Jinmo was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Of course it's true."
Tong Xiaoye fell into silence again. After a while, he said slowly: "It's a good suggestion. I will consider it, but the premise is that we are not a real couple. I will not accept your love. Maybe we will live together for the rest of our lives."
We are all strangers, but we are a couple in front of the world."
"Okay." Xuan Jinmo agreed readily.
Tong Xiaoye raised her head, looked directly at Xuan Jinmo, and repeated with some disbelief, "What I said is that privately we are just strangers living together under the same roof. We will not sleep in the same bed, there will be no, there will be no so-called
The reality of husband and wife.”
"I know." Xuan Jinmo said calmly, not looking frightened at all.
"You can't expect me to fall in love with you." Tong Xiaoye said seriously.
"I know." Xuan Jinmo nodded calmly.
Tong Xiaoye said with some frustration: "I really can't figure out why you still agree to such harsh conditions. What is the reason why you must marry me, even if it's just superficial?"
Xuan Jinmo said calmly: "This is my business."
Tong Xiaoye sighed and said slowly: "Okay, I will think about it carefully."
"Eat the cake." Xuan Jinmo said with a smile, "It's just your choice to marry me. It's not as scary as going up the mountain of swords and the sea of fire. I promise that I will be very successful in the role. In the eyes of the world, you will be a very happy woman.
, in private, you have absolute freedom."
All afternoon, Tong Xiaoye was lost in thought and couldn't read a single word of the documents on the table.
Xiao Dan pushed open the door of Tong Xiaoye's office with some annoyance, slammed the document on the table, and said stiffly: "This is the information you want!"
Tong Xiaoye was startled and looked up at Xiao Dan. Her eye circles were a little swollen and she must have been crying. It seemed that Xuan Jinmo was very angry and even angry with herself.
"What are you looking at me for?" Xiao Dan said angrily, "What's there to see? Isn't it just to let that boy Xuan Jinmo get dumped?! I really don't believe in this evil. I must catch up with him. There is no such thing in this world.
There is no man that I, Xiao Dan, cannot conquer!"
Tong Xiaoye looked at Xiao Dan, hesitated, and said slowly: "Xiao Dan, I want to marry him."
Xiao Dan looked at Tong Xiaoye in confusion, and asked hesitantly for a long time: "What did you just say? Why are you going to marry him? Who is he?"
"I said I wanted to marry Xuan Jinmo." Tong Xiaoye said calmly, "I think my parents are right. No matter how old a girl is, no matter how capable she is, she still needs a family. Instead of constantly looking for her,
Instead of constantly going on blind dates, it is better to choose someone who is good for you and marry him. This is also good for you and can stabilize you."
"Didn't you say you don't like him?" Xiao Dan asked in disbelief.
"Whether you like him or not has nothing to do with whether you marry him or not." Tong Xiaoye said calmly, "He is a nice guy, he doesn't look annoying, he has a good temper, and his income doesn't seem to count. He is a good candidate for a husband."
"Whatever you want, but don't expect me to be your bridesmaid!" Xiao Dan pushed the door out angrily, and the door slammed shut behind her. The wind blew up the documents on the table, making them somewhat scattered.
Sighing, Tong Xiaoye was a little lost in thought again, until the phone on the table rang again.
"Tong Xiaoye." It was Su Guohao's voice, saying very politely, "Do you have time tonight? I would like to treat you and Lianrong's family to a meal. Jiang Nan said that he would invite Lin Xu'an to come with him."
Tong Xiaoye hesitated, paused, and said slowly: "I have something to do tonight, sorry, I can't go - I have to prepare for the wedding."
Su Guohao on the other side of the phone was stunned and asked in surprise: "Marriage?"
"Yes." Tong Xiaoye breathed a sigh of relief and said smoothly, "I agreed to Xuan Jinmo's proposal and I plan to marry him."
It's not that she didn't know that maybe Su Guohao also had a crush on her, but she was too lazy to talk about love with anyone. Instead of going to such trouble, it would be better to find someone to marry and avoid all these troubles, especially a man who was obsessed with her but didn't care.
Regardless of what kind of man she wants, marrying Xuan Jinmo is a good choice.
"Really?" Su Guohao said sadly, "Congratulations to you then."
This girl named Tong Xiaoye is somewhat similar to her sister Su Lianrong in some places. There is always something inexplicable about her, which seems to be accumulated beauty, like tea, seemingly ordinary but intriguing.
Of course, Su Lianrong and Tong Xiaoye are both beautiful and charming girls.
"What's wrong?" Mother Su looked at her son's somewhat disappointed expression and asked softly, "Miss Tong doesn't agree?"
"She's getting married." Su Guohao said simply.
"Marry?" Su's mother was stunned, hesitated, and said softly, "I asked Lianrong to ask, and she said that Jiang Nan and Lin Xu'an had talked about it. Lin Xu'an said that Tong Xiaoye didn't have a boyfriend with whom she got along. She usually focused on
Why are you getting married all of a sudden when you are working?"
Su Guohao thought of the man named Xuan Jinmo. He had met him once. He was a handsome and unrestrained man with a noble temperament that was mixed with calmness and indifference.
"Maybe I have never mentioned it to everyone. After all, love is a private matter." Su Guohao felt regretful in his heart, but said calmly on his face, "I can only say that it is a pity that I was a step too late. If we had known each other earlier, we might have had a chance."
Mother Su glanced at her son and said nothing.
"I met him once. He is a very nice man. His words and deeds are very noble. Judging from his dress, his financial situation is also good." Su Guohao added, "Okay, let's get ready. We are going to be with my sister and the others tonight.
