half thorns, half joy

"What is the relationship between you and Xiao Zihan?"

Tang Xuan smiled lightly, "What's my relationship with Xiao Zihan...why don't you ask Xiao Zihan?"

Lin Qiaoer pulled her face and said nothing.

"I have nothing to do with Xiao Zihan..." Tang Xuan said mercilessly, "What you want to do with Xiao Zihan has nothing to do with me at all, so don't bother me anymore."

Lin Qiaoer didn't believe it, "Really?"

"Otherwise?" Tang Xuan asked back, "What kind of relationship do you want me to have with Xiao Zihan?"

Lin Qiaoer sized Tang Xuan up and down with her sharp gaze, and the corner of her mouth curled up in a disdainful arc, "Of course I hope you have nothing to do with Zihan."

Although Tang Xuan told herself not to care about Lin Qiaoer, her heart still twitched when she was stared at by Lin Qiaoer's contemptuous gaze.

That feeling is like going back to the past.

The feeling of being looked down upon by Xiao Zihan's admirers in the past.

But now is different from the past after all.

The current Tang Xuan didn't even have the thought of fighting.

"You've already asked what you wanted to ask, please leave." Tang Xuan swallowed all her pain, her eyes fell on the baby in the cradle again, and she gave the order to evict her.

Lin Qiaoer raised her eyebrows, "Then I'm even more curious. Since you have nothing to do with Zihan, why do you live in his house? Don't you have a place to live? Where's your husband?"

Tang Xuan clenched her fists, and just when she was about to get angry, Xiao Zihan appeared just in time.

"Lin Qiaoer, what are you doing?" Xiao Zihan stood at the door with a sullen expression on his face, his tone as cold as the expression on his face.

Hearing Xiao Zihan's voice, Lin Qiaoer immediately put away all her sharpness, and transformed into a charming little girl in the blink of an eye. "I didn't do anything, I just chatted with my sister for a while, you're done eating."

Xiao Zihan watched Lin Qiaoer take his arm, did not avoid it, but said lightly: "You should go back."

"Ah..." Lin Qiaoer pouted her lips.

Xiao Zihan gave a look, and Lin Qiaoer immediately snorted unwillingly.

"Okay, I know. It's not too early now. If it's too late, there will be danger on the road." Lin Qiaoer insisted on misinterpreting Xiao Zihan's words as caring for her safety, and even shook Xiao Zihan's arm coquettishly, "Then you Arrange for a driver to take me back, I'll go back to my dad's place tonight."

"..." Xiao Zihan beckoned, and the nanny hurried forward, waiting for Xiao Zihan's order. "Ask the driver to take her home."

The nanny responded, "Yes."

Lin Qiaoer was dissatisfied with this treatment, and continued acting coquettishly, "Oh, Zihan, don't you want to send him back?"

Xiao Zihan: "..."

In the end, Lin Qiaoer obediently went downstairs by herself, got into the car and let the driver take her back.

After Lin Qiaoer left, Xiao Zihan stood at the door, and Tang Xuan sat on a chair in the room. Both of them were speechless.

Xiao Zihan was a little angry. He was worried that Lin Qiaoer would say something unpleasant to Tang Xuan, so he followed her.But what he didn't expect was that Tang Xuan actually said that it had nothing to do with him.He also said that no matter what happens between him and Lin Qiaoer, it has nothing to do with her.

Originally at the dinner table, he felt Tang Xuan's displeasure and was a little happy.But who knew, she would have heard Tang Xuan say that with her own ears.

Such an indifferent attitude really made Xiao Zi very angry!
"Xiao Zihan, what exactly do you mean now?" The two were silent for a long time before Tang Xuan finally spoke first.

Xiao Zihan crossed his arms and leaned against the door frame, "What do you mean?"

Tang Xuan sighed, got up and went to the door, pulled Xiao Zihan away and closed the door. "Don't you think this is funny?"

Xiao Zihan looked at Tang Xuan in confusion, as if he didn't understand what Tang Xuan was talking about.

Tang Xuan looked at Xiao Zihan and continued, "Since you already have someone new by your side, why force me to stay here? Aren't you afraid of being jealous?"

Of course not afraid, anyway, they are irrelevant people.Xiao Zihan thought to himself, what he paid more attention to was Tang Xuan's first words, "Why, there is a new person by my side, are you unhappy?"

Tang Xuan pinched the palm of her hand, and answered crisply, "No."

Xiao Zihan smiled, "Then do you care if there is anyone around me?"

Tang Xuan bit the bullet and replied, "I just think it's boring for you to do this. Besides, how do you explain to others that I'm here?"

"I think it's quite interesting. Also, how to explain is my business, you don't have to worry about it." Xiao Zihan approached Tang Xuan, staring at the expression on Tang Xuan's face, "If you are not happy, just say it, I think With your dark face, I thought you were jealous."

Tang Xuan bit her lip and looked at Xiao Zihan.

Could it be that Xiao Zihan brought a woman here on purpose, and deliberately got intimate with that woman in front of him, just to see himself jealous and uncomfortable, and then find an opportunity to humiliate himself?
Tang Xuan sneered in her heart, Xiao Zihan's move was really heartbreaking.

"Look, you look so angry, you really seem to be jealous." Xiao Zihan sneered, "Why, you don't still have feelings for me, do you?"

Tang Xuan gritted her teeth and said, "You're thinking too much. I'm not jealous, I just find it annoying."

The smile on Xiao Zihan's face froze instantly.

Tang Xuan: "Whatever you two think is up to you, just don't bother me. I still have to take care of the baby, so I don't have time to listen to your nonsense."

These words are harsh and ugly.

Xiao Zihan immediately became angry, "Tang Xuan! What kind of attitude is this!"

"That's the attitude I have." Tang Xuan, who had been showing her affection for a long time, also became angry, and pushed back without showing any weakness, "If you think I'm an eyesore, let me go, and that girl doesn't need me if I leave. Think about it, you happen to be together."

Xiao Zihan squeezed Tang Xuan's shoulder, "Ask you to go? To stay and fly with Zheng Yifan? Let me tell you! No way! Don't be too sentimental, you are not important enough to affect who I am with, The reason why I keep you here is to torture you slowly."

Tang Xuan's shoulder was painfully pinched, she gritted her teeth and endured it, and did not refute Xiao Zihan again.

There is nothing to refute. Didn't Xiao Zihan say it all, all of this is to make her unhappy.

What else could she do but endure it.

Tang Xuan suddenly laughed, and said to Xiao Zihan with a smile, "Okay, I understand your intentions."

"..." Xiao Zihan let go of Tang Xuan, his expression clouded. "why are you laughing?"

Tang Xuan raised the corners of her mouth, "I didn't laugh at anything, I just thought it was quite funny, very funny, so funny."

Xiao Zihan: "..."

Tang Xuan stopped smiling, and gave Xiao Zihan a blank look, "If there's nothing else, I'll go see the baby."

Xiao Zihan: "..."

Of course Tang Xuan would not wait for Xiao Zihan's agreement. After she finished speaking, she opened the door and walked in, shutting Xiao Zihan out.

Xiao Zi was so cold, why didn't he realize that Tang Xuan was so good at irritating people, and so good at talking back?His anger and temper are like hitting on a soft sponge, and he can't exert any strength at all.

Originally, he planned to use Lin Qiaoer to anger Tang Xuan, but he didn't expect to be angered instead!
What a bummer!

Xiao Zihan really wanted to open the door and go in, and put Tang Xuan in uniform, but...in the end, Xiao Zihan just sighed heavily, and went back to his study to continue his work.

During this period of time, he has discovered that he can't really do anything to Tang Xuan.Even if he had this ability, even if Tang Xuan wouldn't resist, he wouldn't be able to do it.

Feeling bad frustration.

……

Tang Xuan originally thought that the incident was so unpleasant that it was over, but she never expected that Xiao Zihan would have a backhand.

The next day, Xiao Zihan brought Lin Qiaoer to the house again.Cai Jinyu also followed.

Xiao Zihan half-forced Tang Xuan to the back of the courtyard, and together with Lin Qiaoer, set up a shelf for a family barbecue.

Tang Xuan was very reluctant, but remembering that what Xiao Zihan said last night was to torture her, she could only swallow her anger, scolding Xiao Zihan in her heart, while cooking barbecue with Lin Qiaoer.

Xiao Zihan and Cai Jinyu sat side by side on the bench, not far from the barbecue grill, talking one after another.

"Zihan, try to see if it tastes good." Lin Qiaoer roasted a piece of meat, picked it up immediately, and handed it to Xiao Zihan's mouth.

Xiao Zihan frowned, staring at the piece of meat, as if staring at some poison.

"Hurry up, try it." Lin Qiaoer urged cheerfully.

Seeing Tang Xuan looking towards him, Xiao Zihan immediately opened his mouth, ate the meat, chewed it a few times, and nodded perfunctorily, "It's okay."

Lin Qiaoer jumped up happily, "Then I'll bake a few more pieces!"

"You really...why bother her and yourself so much." Cai Jinyu took a sip of the squeezed drink, "I said how old are you, playing such a boring trick."

Xiao Zihan remained silent, chewing the meat in his mouth bitterly.

Cai Jinyu watched Xiao Zihan and Tang Xuan come all the way. As a bystander, from an objective point of view, he didn't think Tang Xuan had much to do to Xiao Zihan.

Although Tang Xuan had indeed lied to Xiao Zihan and used Xiao Zihan, Tang Xuan was really kind to Xiao Zihan during those days, and that kindness was definitely not fake.Besides, what happened to the Xiao family was not caused by Tang Xuan.Besides, Tang Xuan's relatives also died because of the Xiao family.

Thinking about it seriously, it's really hard to say who is more sorry for Tang Xuan or Xiao Zihan.

But from the perspective of Xiao Zihan's good friend, Cai Jinyu had some opinions on Tang Xuan.So after knowing Tang Xuan came back, Cai Jinyu avoided Tang Xuan and never came to the villa to look for Xiao Zihan.He was afraid that he would blame Tang Xuan if he couldn't help it.

But today, Xiao Zihan suddenly called him over, and he couldn't refuse.

"Zihan, I've baked some more, hurry up and eat some." Lin Qiaoer came over with a tray graciously, and she deliberately glanced at Cai Jinyu, motioning for Cai Jinyu to get out of the way.

Cai Jinyu is a person who can read a lot, so she stood up immediately, "Oh, Zihan is really lucky, come on, I'll go bake some by myself."

Lin Qiaoer was very satisfied with Cai Jinyu's acquaintance, and she smiled happily, "Go, there is still a lot of meat."

Cai Jinyu walked over and stood in front of the grill, just as Tang Xuan raised her head, the two looked at each other.Tang Xuan quickly lowered her head, looked at the bacon on the grill, and said uncomfortably, "The plate is full of meat that I have grilled, you can take it over and eat."

Cai Jinyu looked at Tang Xuan's profile, and suddenly lost her temper.

He suppressed all the questioning and blame, and pretended to be nothing, and said, "Wow, you baked it so well, why don't you eat it?"

Tang Xuan replied sullenly, "I don't have an appetite."

Cai Jinyu glanced at Xiao Zihan and Lin Qiaoer, isn't that right, looking at such a picture, how could one have an appetite.

Tang Xuan hadn't seen Cai Jinyu for a long time. Seeing Xiao Zihan bring Cai Jinyu and Lin Qiaoer together today, she already classified Cai Jinyu as the type of troublemaker in her heart.

Therefore, in addition to the embarrassment after so many things happened, there is also a trace of displeasure and resistance.

"You can bring it over and eat it, don't worry about me." Tang Xuan said lukewarmly, "Or if you want to eat, pick it out and I'll bake it for you."

Cai Jinyu laughed, and joked: "What's wrong, this is, you treat yourself as a servant."

Tang Xuan suddenly raised her head to look at Cai Jinyu, and asked calmly, "Isn't it me? Isn't Xiao Zihan calling me here just to let me do this?"

The smile on Cai Jinyu's face froze. Seeing the tears in Tang Xuan's eyes, he suddenly couldn't bear it.

"I was talking too much." Tang Xuan looked away and continued to work with her staff, "You can do whatever you want."

Cai Jinyu had never seen Tang Xuan like this.The Tang Xuan in his memory was sunny and gentle, she was clearly the same age, but comforted and tolerated him transparently like a big sister.

Cai Jinyu suddenly reached out and grabbed Tang Xuan's wrist, "Stop roasting, let's go."

Tang Xuan didn't know why, "Huh?"

"Let's go, anyone who wants to eat can roast it himself." Cai Jinyu pulled Tang Xuan away, "There's nothing to stay here."
