Qin Qiaotian drove directly to Tong Yao's apartment - she had insisted before that she did not move to his new home in City A, but rented a suite not far from his home.
Although the time was very inappropriate, Qin Qiaotian hesitated for a while before pressing her doorbell.
"Ding dong ding dong", the doorbell only rang twice, and Tong Yao came out and opened the door. She was still wearing the same clothes she had during the day, and didn't even change into pajamas. She was obviously not ready to rest yet...
"Still not asleep?" Qin Qiaotian couldn't help being surprised, looking at Tong Yao's red eyes, "What are you busy with?"
Tong Yao was startled: Why did he suddenly disappear and then reappear? He... isn't angry anymore?
"Haha, I'm busy working on some information." Tong Yao smiled awkwardly and turned sideways to let him in. From the corner of his eye, he saw the bag he was carrying in and exhaled with relief - Fortunately, the information is back! At least the information is back!
No need to redo it!
She calmly took the small bag from his hand, and Qin Qiaotian patted her head with his free hand, and said in a deep voice: "From now on, when someone knocks on the door in the middle of the night, don't open it like this."
readily!"
There is really no sense of precaution at all!
"The security here is quite good. It's so close to the mayor's residence. The security guards are particularly energetic at night. Why don't you worry?" Tong Yao teased with a smile and couldn't help but flatter him. When he saw Qin
A smile appeared on Qiao Tian's face, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
She thought that what happened in the jewelry store just now... would make him ignore her for a long time.
After all, she was the one who felt guilty about him
"I will feel relieved if you move to my place." He spoke his true thoughts without hesitation, raised his lips, and added jokingly, "The security guards in the community over there are more energetic."
"Hehehe..." Tong Yao just kept laughing, pretending not to understand his explicit invitation.
Qin Qiaotian licked his dry lips and became serious because of her silence. He paused for a long time. It wasn't until the atmosphere in the room became stiff again that he slowly spoke: "What happened in the jewelry store just now?"
…”
"It's my fault!" Tong Yao responded immediately, lowering his head in embarrassment, "I said the wrong thing! It's not fair to you! I've been thinking about it for a long time, otherwise we should still..."
"I left for other reasons!" He interrupted quickly, with a hint of panic in his rapid voice.
He is afraid!
He knew what she wanted to say in the second half of her sentence, but he was afraid that if she really said, "Why don't we get married," this would destroy all his thoughts and send him to hell!
He always knew that Tong Yao didn't love him
It's just that he wanted to be selfish once, take advantage of her many "intolerances" towards him, keep her by his side, and repeat for the ten thousandth time: As long as he loves her, that's enough!
"Other reasons?" Tong Yao wondered
"It's a bit urgent and I have to deal with it," he explained evasively, with an almost pleading expression on his face, "Tomorrow...can we go buy a wedding ring tomorrow?"
Tong Yao pursed his lips hesitantly, but he was still too cowardly to refuse. He could only nodded stiffly, but he couldn't help but be curious: "What's the emergency?"
"Whatever you're not interested in is all about work." He easily fooled Tong Yao. He looked at her lowering her head and flipping through the previous document, with a relieved expression on her face, and felt a little bit disgusted in her heart.
He misunderstood Tong Yao, and thought angrily and sadly in his heart: She didn't care much about her "fiancé", but she was very careful about Qin Muyuan's information!
Just like today when he left her in the jewelry store, she could protest against him for such a reckless act! It didn't matter if she wanted to make a fuss or make a fuss, but the most cruel thing was... her lack of reaction was heartbreaking!
"It's very late, why don't you go back and have a rest?" The pointer moved quickly on the dial. Tong Yao concentrated on finishing his own business, and then he thought of leaving Qin Qiaotian in the room, and then he spoke apologetically.
"I'll stay and sleep on the sofa." When she called him, he seemed to wake up suddenly. He climbed onto her sofa in a familiar way, took off his coat and lay down on it.
"This..." Tong Yao was a little embarrassed, but when he saw that it was almost one o'clock in the morning, it was really unkind to drive him back at this time, so he could only grit his teeth and let him go.
After turning off the light in the bedroom, Tong Yao was about to take a rest. Through the ajar door, she happened to see the dim light in the living room - Oh! She forgot to give Qin Qiaotian a blanket!
So Tong Yao quietly carried a blanket and went out, approaching him cautiously. She originally thought he was asleep, but the moment she covered him with the blanket, he suddenly opened his eyes——
"You...can't sleep?" Tong Yao was startled, but quickly controlled his emotions.
"Yes." He responded dully, his expression was as serious as Tong Yao's fear. He spoke before she could escape, "Tong Yao, I saw the folder where you worked! Are you going to deal with Qin Muyuan?"
