half thorns, half joy

"It's really great, you have taken care of her mood, what about you, who will take care of your mood?"

Xiao Zihan gently pulled the corner of his mouth, turned to look at Cai Jinyu, "Isn't there you? Aren't you taking care of my mood now?"

Cai Jinyu was taken aback, and after a while, he stretched out his hand and slapped Xiao Zihan hard on the shoulder.

Between friends, there is no need to say much.

Xiao Zihan put away the appraisal report, stayed with Cai Jinyu for a while, and drove back to the company when he was about to leave work.

When he came out today, he told Tang Xuan that he was going to talk about something, and it was just right to go back at this time.

"I'm back." Tang Xuan was verifying the data in a document when she heard the door to the office, looked up and saw Xiao Zihan.

Xiao Zihan nodded, walked straight to the desk, opened the drawer and put the documents in, stuffing them on the bottom layer, "It's almost time, we should get off work too."

"Okay, I'll make a file." Tang Xuan saved the file and closed the file. She picked up the schedule and got up and walked to Xiao Zihan's desk, reporting to Xiao Zihan the projects and investments that needed to be followed up.

As soon as she walked in, she could smell the obvious smell of smoke on Xiao Zihan's body.

Tang Xuan pursed her lips. She tried her best to restrain herself and did not show anything wrong. She finished her work report.

"Okay, I see." Xiao Zihan actually didn't listen much at all, he heard Tang Xuan stop and said something perfunctory.

"Zihan..." Tang Xuan couldn't bear it. She put down her report notebook and approached Xiao Zihan, "You look quite tired. Do you want to rest for a few days?"

Xiao Zihan retorted with a smile, "I'm not tired."

Tang Xuan stretched out her finger and touched Xiao Zihan's forehead, "Is that so, I feel that you have been in a particularly bad mood recently, and your forehead wrinkles are about to appear."

"Alright... alright."

Tang Xuan pursed her lips on purpose, and said coquettishly, "You can't tire yourself out, otherwise when we get married, you will have a bad face and everyone will think I forced the marriage."

"Pfft, it's not that serious." Xiao Zihan also touched his forehead, "Do you really have forehead wrinkles?"

"Not yet, but if you continue to frown, you probably will soon." Tang Xuan said softly, "Why don't you rest at home tomorrow, don't do anything, and relax."

Xiao Zihan hesitated and said: "There are so many things to be busy now, how can I have time to rest..."

Tang Xuan insisted, "It's just one day, rest for one day, those things can't be delayed, besides, there is me, I can help you deal with it."

Even if Tang Xuan said so, Xiao Zihan still disagreed, "I'm going to rest and sleep at home, and let you do things for me? I'm still not a man."

Tang Xuan saw that Xiao Zihan couldn't be persuaded, so she didn't continue to argue, but she had already made a decision in her heart.

……

In the evening, after Tang Xuan and Xiao Zihan had dinner and washed, Xiao Zihan sat on the bedside and watched the economic news, while Tang Xuan went into the bedroom with a glass of water.

"What are you looking at?" Tang Xuan asked knowingly.

"The Lin Group has been investigated for tax evasion." Xiao Zihan moved the tablet towards Tang Xuan, "Look, there's been a lot of commotion. I guess it won't be good this time."

Tang Xuan took a cursory glance, and didn't know whether she had read it or not. She looked up at Xiao Zihan, and said after a while, "Why are you so talkative, are you angry?"

Xiao Zihan licked his lips, "No way."

"Would you like some water to moisturize?" Tang Xuan handed the water glass to Xiao Zihan.

"Yeah." Xiao Zihan didn't doubt that he was there, took the water glass and drank it down. During this time, his eyes were still on the tablet and he was still watching the news.

A faint smile appeared on the corner of Tang Xuan's mouth, and she took the empty water glass from Xiao Zihan's hand, "Okay, don't read it either, go to bed early."

"Well, sleep later."

Tang Xuan left the bedroom with the water glass and stood by the bedroom door for a while. When she entered again, Xiao Zihan had already fallen asleep.

Xiao Zihan was still holding the tablet in his hand.

"I can't help it either." Tang Xuan walked over and took out the tablet from Xiao Zihan's hand, put Xiao Zihan's arm under the quilt, and sat down by the bed, "Have a good sleep."

These days, Xiao Zihan couldn't sleep at night, tossed and turned all night, sighed, went down and walked back and forth in the living room, she knew it all.

She knew, but she couldn't ask, she could only pretend to be stupid.

She was very serious in persuading Xiao Zihan in the company today, but Xiao Zihan didn't listen, so she had no choice but to put sleeping pills in the water and coax Xiao Zihan to drink it.

It's not much, but it's enough for Xiao Zihan to sleep until tomorrow.

It was enough for Xiao Zihan to have a good sleep.

After silently watching Xiao Zihan in front of the bed for a while, Tang Xuan got up and left the bedroom.She took her mobile phone and went into the bathroom.

Since the last time she came back from Lao Deng, Ke Ke has not contacted her again.She communicated with Police Officer Liu through Ke Ke, but Ke Ke didn't contact her now, she didn't know what Police Officer Liu ordered.

Since Xiao Zihan started investigating Xiao Yu, she has obtained a lot of secrets about the Xiao family. Officer Liu ordered her to investigate carefully last time, and it seems that she still needs these things.

But why not contact her?
Tang Xuan sat by the bathtub, thought for a while, and finally decided to contact Ke Ke to ask.

She didn't type many words, only three simple and clear words: Are you asleep?
After about ten minutes, there was a reply: no.

Tang Xuan guessed that Ke Ke might be busy, or she might be with Lao Deng, so it's inconvenient to say too much, so she continued to ask cryptically, "How are you doing recently?"

After a few more minutes, the other person replied: "It's okay, how about you."

Looking at the words on the screen, Tang Xuan felt something was wrong.Coco talked to her in a commanding tone most of the time, even if she was asking, she would ask if she had finished what she was supposed to do, instead of asking if she was okay.

Tang Xuan was a cautious person at heart. Once she sensed something was wrong, she would not go any further and would not act rashly.

Not replying seemed too abrupt, Tang Xuan thought about it, and replied in a friend's tone: I'm fine too.

Taken together, it's a bit of an awkward chat.

Tang Xuan waited for a while after replying, but there was no reply, no text messages, and no phone calls.

Is it really doing something?

Tang Xuan couldn't wait for Ke Ke's reply, so she could only put this matter aside and go back to her bedroom to sleep.The situation is too chaotic now, and there are too many times when she needs to maintain a high level of tension. She must recharge her energy and persevere until the end.

……

The next day, when Xiao Zihan woke up, it was already two o'clock in the afternoon.He opened his eyes and looked at the white ceiling, his mind went blank.

Where is he?What's going on here?
Slowly, the consciousness came back bit by bit, Xiao Zihan sat up on the bed and looked around.

The curtains in the room were drawn, so the light was dim. Tang Xuan's place next to her was empty, and she could feel that there was no heat, and she had been away for a long time.

"Xiaoxuan?" Xiao Zihan yelled towards the living room.

No one answered.

"What time is it? This is..." Xiao Zihan picked up his phone and looked at it, "I'm going... Why is it so long, Xiaoxuan?"

The living room was empty, as was the kitchen.Xiao Zihan dragged his body from sleep and searched around Tang Xuan, and finally saw the note left by Xiao Zihan on the dining table.

The note said: Zihan, I’m going to the company first. I’ve prepared lunch and put it in the refrigerator. You can warm it up after you wake up, or order a takeaway. Don’t worry about the company, I’ll take care of it QAQ .

Looking at the cute expression at the end of the note, Xiao Zihan couldn't laugh or cry.

He had never slept for such a long time and had such a deep sleep. He had completely forgotten the concept of time. The only explanation was that Tang Xuan put sleep aid medicine in the water he gave him last night.

"Hey..." Xiao Zihan thought of Tang Xuan's refusal to persuade him to rest more in the office yesterday.

It seems that at that time, although the little guy didn't argue with his mouth, he already had an idea in his heart.

Xiao Zihan washed up briefly, opened the refrigerator, took out the bento Tang Xuan had made, and turned on the microwave to heat it up.After a good night's sleep, he felt that his body was indeed much more relaxed, and his brain was much clearer.

Now that he had slept until the afternoon, Xiao Zihan didn't worry any more. He finished his lunch slowly and lay down on the sofa for a while.

During this period of time, all his attention was on Xiao Yu and the preparations for the wedding, and it seemed that he was a little cold towards Tang Xuan.

But judging by Tang Xuan's appearance, not only did she not blame herself, but she cared for her very much.

This made Xiao Zihan feel very heartwarming.

Xiao Zihan rested for a while, got up and went to the kitchen to wash the dishes, satiated, went into the bathroom and took a shower, and looked at the time, it was exactly five o'clock.

The Xiao Group's off-duty time is six o'clock. Xiao Zihan thought about it and decided not to go to work in order to reassure Tang Xuan. He walked over slowly to pick Tang Xuan off work.

After changing his shoes and going downstairs, Xiao Zihan saw a flower shop when he left the community. He thought of the flowers that Tang Xuan had given him earlier, the corners of his mouth turned up, and he happily went into the flower shop to buy a large bouquet of flowers.

Holding the flowers out of the flower shop, he immediately attracted the curious eyes of passers-by.

Xiao Zihan was not as bold and unrestrained as Cai Jinyu. When he was holding a bouquet and was watched by about a hundred people passing by, he resolutely turned around and drove back to the community.

How silly to walk down the road with such a huge bouquet of roses.

At this time, the evening rush hour just started, and Xiao Zihan's driving was not much faster than walking. When he got downstairs to the company, it was almost [-]:[-].

In the building of the Xiao Group, people have come out one after another.Basically, they are some leaders who enjoy the benefits of leaving get off work early.

Xiao Zihan had never seen these people coming out of the building with such a relaxed mood at this point in time, and he leaned back in his chair to watch them, and he even found it quite interesting.

Gradually, there were more people, and they began to pour out of the building. Xiao Zihan was worried that he would not see Tang Xuan, so he stared nervously at the door.

Xiao Zihan's eyes were sore and he didn't see Tang Xuan's figure. He was thinking whether to call Tang Xuan when he suddenly saw Tang Xuan walking away from the building with a high ponytail. come out.

People kept nodding to her, and she responded with a gentle smile.

Xiao Zihan's car was parked on the side of the road where Tang Xuan would definitely pass by. He didn't get out of the car in a hurry, he wanted to wait for Tang Xuan to come over, and then give Tang Xuan a surprise.

However, when Tang Xuan was still more than ten meters away from Xiao Zihan's car, Tang Xuan stopped suddenly.

Immediately afterwards, Xiao Zihan saw a middle-aged man walk up to Tang Xuan and exchange a few words with Tang Xuan. Tang Xuan followed the middle-aged man into a white van with a solemn expression.

Xiao Zihan's joyful face immediately collapsed.

Who is that man?
