The Queen of Romance: A Summer of Sweet Classics

Chapter 72

I don't know if it's because the wedding is approaching, Xia Weiyang used to wear plain clothes and light-colored makeup, but today she is wearing a very eye-catching long dress, bright red satin material, which complements her slim figure, even under the soft light The lower capital is still radiant.

Huo Xiyin turned her head to look at herself in the mirror. She bit her lip, regretting why she didn't put on a more colorful makeup just now. Now her face is so pale that she looks like a grieving female ghost.

Xia Weiyang walked towards her, the flowing skirt fluttered slightly, she bent down slightly beside her, her exquisite eyebrows were slightly frowned, and asked softly: "Are you all right? Do you need my help?"

Huo Xiyin only felt that a cold sweat was slowly gathering on her forehead, she slightly touched the corner of her lips, and smiled at her: "It's okay, thank you."

Xia Weiyang looked at the movement of her covering her lower abdomen, was a little stunned, and saw the cold sweat on her forehead, so she took out a handkerchief from her bag and handed it to her, her voice was still soft and soft: "Wipe the sweat." .”

Huo Xiyin can't refuse anymore.After receiving it, she raised her hand and realized that the style of the handkerchief was very familiar, but she was so uncomfortable that she was even slow to think. After thinking for a while, her mind went blank, and she only vaguely felt that she had seen something similar.

She hesitated a little, pinching the handkerchief and motionless.Xia Weiyang glanced at her and asked: "What's wrong?"

"It's okay." Huo Xiyin smiled and returned the handkerchief to her, "I just feel that there are not many young people who still carry handkerchiefs with them."

"Oh, you mean this." Xia Weiyang smiled, her voice became softer, "A friend had one before, I borrowed it once and thought it was not bad, so I bought another one that was exactly the same. After using it for a long time, It becomes a habit to carry it with you.”

Huo Xiyin nodded, as if he heard it.She felt that the pain in her lower abdomen had eased a little, so she walked out slowly.Xia Weiyang followed and asked her: "Can you do it? Let me help you out."

Huo Xiyin waved her hand, and moved a little distance away from her without any trace: "Thank you, it's okay, I can go."

Because it was past closing time, the hallway was empty.Huo Xiyin felt a little creepy when he heard the sound of two people's high heels sounding in tandem.She originally thought that she had been with Ji Zhandong for a long time, even if she couldn't capture the essence of Ji Zhandong's ability to pretend and laugh, at least it would be more than enough to deal with most people.But today she discovered that not only could she not win against the scheming Ji Zhandong with the little knowledge she had cultivated, but she was not even sure that she could handle Xia Weiyang who was gentle and quiet.

Huo Xiyin originally planned to treat her as air or a passerby, so that the conversation might be less awkward, but she realized that she was simply deceiving herself.Xia Weiyang's gentle smile was like melting bones, which instantly reduced her attack power to its lowest value.Her breath was held in her heart, and she couldn't rush it out or swallow it, but now it made her feel even more uncomfortable.

She could feel Xia Weiyang hesitating to speak behind her, so she turned her head and saw her biting her lips and wanting to speak but she was so cute and cute, Huo Xiyin sighed in her heart, feeling impatient at the same time : "If you have anything to say, just say it."

"About the acquisition of the company..." Xia Weiyang continued to hesitate to speak, opened his mouth, opened his mouth again, but finally remained silent.

Huo Xiyin likes this kind of scene the most, because in this kind of situation, she can always use a set of official words to stop the other party's mouth, and these official words are always useless and easy to come by, which is better than other consoling words or opening remarks. Much easier.

She opened her mouth slowly: "I don't understand these things, and this is also a matter of your mother and the buyer, and has nothing to do with me. If you find it difficult to speak, don't say it."

A few words that were neither soft nor hard made Xia Weiyang's movements lag for a second.Huo Xiyin looked at her, twitched the corner of her mouth slightly, glanced at Chen Yu who was walking towards the opposite side, twitched the corner of her mouth slightly, then looked away, and said flatly: "If it's okay, I'll I'll go first."

"Can you hold on? Wait for Chen Yu to come and take you back."

"Thank you for your kindness, I can just take a taxi back."

Ji Zhandong has been busy since the day he returned from the trip, and Huo Xiyin hardly sees him except on weekends.Huo Xiyin invited an instructor from a driving school to accompany her to learn to drive, and then she found that without Ji Zhandong, she learned quickly and focused. Even the unsmiling instructor praised her for her good coordination, quick response and flexibility.

Ji Zhandong finally got free on the second weekend, and chose Saturday to go to the suburbs with her to practice driving.However, he was obviously lacking in energy. Although Ji Zhandong could not be called fatigued during the journey from the urban area to the suburbs, the movement of his slender index finger pointing between his eyebrows clearly showed that he was suffering from severe sleep deprivation recently.

Huo Xiyin felt a bit uneasy if he didn't greet the dedicated Mr. Ji beside him at this moment: "You've been so busy recently that you don't even have time to sleep?"

"That's not enough." He thought for a while, then said vaguely, "It's just a little insomnia."

"Just because of an acquisition?"

"No. There is another one that I can't agree on. Recently, troubles have piled up, so I have a little insomnia." Ji Zhandong stared at the number board that was getting smaller and smaller in front of him, frowning slightly, "This red light is really slow. "

Huo Xiyin became more and more sure that Ji Zhandong was a little abnormal today.She'd never seen him complain at a red light before, and today was hell.

Ji Zhandong was obviously depressed today. Although he tried hard, his reaction was half a beat slower than hers.Huo Xiyin's steering wheel had already been turned to the right, and he said bluntly, "It's time to turn", which made Huo Xiyin dumbfounded.Later, he probably realized this himself, so he just propped his chin and watched her drive without telling her what to do.

Later, when the two went back, Ji Zhandong actually asked her to drive back to the city.

"I don't have a driver's license, do you want me to be a street killer or do you want me to go to the police station because of something wrong?"

"I see that you have been driving well today, and you should be able to go on the road."

"Can actual combat exercises be the same as simulated exercises?"

Ji Zhandong looked at her with his head tilted, his eyes seemed to be closed but not closed, his expression was lazy and his attitude was casual: "I didn't ask you to drive home all the time. There are few cars in the suburbs. You can practice without any problems. When you get to the city It’s good to change back when you’re in the district.”

"..."

"And I'm sleepy, and I think it's safer for you to drive than me to drive now."

"..."

"I'll watch while you're driving, don't worry."

"..."

When Ji Zhandong was unconscious, she couldn't even talk to him.Huo Xiyin held the steering wheel and gritted his teeth and gave him a look, then the car rushed out, causing Ji Zhandong to not even fasten his seat belt in time.

Huo Xiyin was still a little scared when she actually drove the car into the motorway. She was concentrating on it, but Ji Zhandong didn't seem to want her to get what she wanted. He was drowsy at first, but now he seemed to be in a mood, talking to her with great interest : "Don't be so nervous, really. This car has a high safety factor, even if it really hits it, it won't do anything."

Huo Xiyin ignored his words.

Later, he took out his mobile phone to take a picture of her as a souvenir. He captured Huo Xiyin's expression of frowning eyebrows, staring eyes and pursing his lips. Ji Zhandong showed her at the red light, so he naturally provoked Huo Xiyin's biting Screaming.

Then she ignored him again, and the car gradually became quiet.Huo Xiyin slowed down slowly at an intersection, stared at the red light ahead and asked, "Should I go right or left?"

But there was no answer for a long time.She turned her head and saw that Ji Zhandong had fallen asleep in the passenger seat.

He supported his head with one hand, and rested the other hand casually on his crossed legs. His lips were slightly pursed, and a small shadow was covered by his thick eyelashes. He seemed to be sleeping restlessly. At this moment, he didn't even fully relax his brows.

His frowning look is very rare, and in Huo Xiyin's memory, this is even the first time he has seen it.What she usually sees most on his face is the standard diplomatic face, the beautiful, perfect and calm smile, even a little careless. Neither will be halved.

It seems that he has been really tired recently.Huo Xiyin turned down the air conditioner in the car a little, then frowned and looked at the road ahead, seeing that the vehicles basically merged into the street on the right, she thought about it, and turned right cautiously.

Her driving skills were not proficient, and the traffic in front of her was getting denser. Huo Xiyin didn't have the guts to drive any further, so she had to slowly park the car on the side of the road.She turned her head to look at him, hesitating whether to wake him up.

At dusk, light and shadow separated boundaries on that handsome face, and the golden sunset softened the sharp edges and corners of his profile, making him look harmless and innocent.Ji Zhandong's sleeping appearance is obviously much cuter than when he is awake. Once his peach blossom eyes that seem to be smiling but not smiling are closed, this person looks gentler than usual.

Huo Xiyin felt that his current appearance was very interesting, so she quietly approached him, made a chopping motion at his neck, and showed an evil smile. Seeing that he didn't respond, she thought about it, but she still didn't wake him up. He turned his head and leaned against the car window looking out at the sky in a daze.

Her thoughts are a little bit confused recently, these two days she always thinks of Xia Weiyang for no reason, and what's even more inexplicable is that the question she thinks about the most is whether Xia Weiyang will attend on the wedding day.Even if Xia Weiyang doesn't invite, Chen Yu will definitely distribute invitations one by one in the directly subordinate departments.As for the boss's wedding, although she was reluctant, it was obviously unreasonable for her not to attend.

Huo Xiyin thought of this question again, and felt a headache again.She squinted at the darkening sky, and suddenly heard a chuckle behind her, and when she turned around, Ji Zhandong was looking at her with a clear smile on his face.

His peach blossom eyes are shining brightly at the moment, and the corner of his mouth has a familiar arc. The hesitation between his eyebrows and eyes just now has disappeared. Ji Zhandong's voice is hoarse, and it is very pleasant to hear: "I have been waiting for you After chopping my neck and saying something, I didn't expect you to be in a daze."

"say what?"

"It depends on you. Isn't it like this in TV dramas and martial arts novels? Before or after killing someone, you always leave a few words, so that people can die with peace of mind, and then go on the road with peace of mind."

"But I always remember that after telling the other party their purpose, the person who is often killed will get away with it at the last moment. So if it were me, I would definitely kill the other party happily and not waste any time in explaining."

Ji Zhandong smiled faintly: "Even if the person you killed was wronged, wouldn't you care?"

It's really inappropriate to discuss this kind of topic in this kind of place.Huo Xiyin glanced at him and said, "If it were you, would you care?"

He thought for a moment and said, "I don't know."

"Then I don't know either."

Ji Zhandong raised the corners of his lips, gave her a charming smile, and then leaned over, wanting to hug her, but Huo Xiyin gently dodged her. His movements paused for half a second, still insisting on doing the same thing. With one movement, she couldn't struggle, but in the end he hugged her in the air.

The space is not big, the breathing of the two is intertwined, and the body is close to each other.His beautiful eyes were dark and deep. Huo Xiyin looked over at this moment, but felt that there was a clear and calm inside.

"Ji Zhandong," she looked at him, took a breath, and said quietly, "Will you pay for the company you bought?"

Ji Zhandong was taken aback by what she said, but he quickly realized it and smiled: "No."

"I want to hear the truth."

"That still won't work."

"Ji Zhandong," she called his name again, then suddenly reached out and grabbed his collar, forcing him to lower his head and look at her, and said word by word, "no matter what, if you dare to lie to me, be careful I threatened you not to marry you."

"Well, I see." He suppressed his laughter and looked at her solemnly, but finally burst out laughing, "Look at your talent."

She let him go, stiffened her neck, and turned her head to look out of the window: "I've been thinking recently, is it possible that you will regret marrying me? lifelong."

"It won't be like this, don't worry." Ji Zhandong smiled more intensely, turned her face back, met her eyes, then kissed the corner of her lips, then squeezed her chin, with a soft voice , in a low voice, as if whispering, "Even if it is a loss, I think I can still afford it."

On Sunday, the two returned to Ji's house together.As soon as Huo Xiyin entered the house, Mother Ji hugged her, patted her on the cheek, touched her arm, and said: "Too thin, even a little thinner than last time, look at this chin. What's the point now. Is Zhandong bullying you again?"

Ji Zhandong coughed from the side: "Mom, your last sentence has wronged me too much."

Behind him, Ji's father said sternly, "Every time they come back, you always say these two words, don't you think it's clichéd?"

Ji's mother threw a glance behind: "You don't even smile when you see the children come back, are you still ashamed to say me now?"

So the old couple once again entered the endless cycle of quarreling every day.
