half thorns, half joy

The perfume was not strong, a bit fruity, even if Tang Xuan didn't know much about perfume, she could still smell it, it was a perfume for women.

"What's wrong?" Seeing Tang Xuan's expression changed, Xiao Zihan asked in confusion.

Tang Xuan regained her senses and shook her head, "It's fine. You're pretty tired after coming back today, so go to rest early."

Xiao Zihan was silent. Tang Xuan's words sounded unfamiliar to him, and they undoubtedly pushed him away.

"Fortunately, I've had enough sleep on the plane." Xiao Zihan thought about Tang Xuan for a week, and didn't want to end the conversation just like that, so he glanced at the computer next to him, looking for something to say: "Are you writing a manuscript?"

"...En." Tang Xuan reached out and closed the computer, "I finished writing just now, and I'm about to go back to the bedroom."

Xiao Zihan nodded, "Let's go up together."

The proposal was so simple and not difficult, Tang Xuan couldn't refuse, so she could only go upstairs with Xiao Zihan holding the computer.

When he was almost at the door of the bedroom, Xiao Zihan spoke again.

"I heard from the driver that Cai Lin has been here, did she make things difficult for you?"

Tang Xuan stopped in her tracks, pondered the amount of information in Xiao Zihan's words, and replied vaguely, "No, it's just that the words are a little harsh."

Xiao Zihan asked, "What did she say about you?"

"Uh... just let me go, don't rely on you or anything." An embarrassed smile flashed across Tang Xuan's eyes, "She said something very harsh, but I didn't control my temper and hit her a slap."

"I know." Xiao Zihan didn't mean to blame Tang Xuan at all, "If you hit him, you hit him. It's her fault that she came here to make things difficult for you."

Tang Xuan gave Xiao Zihan a surprised look. She knew that Cai Lin was Xiao Zihan's first love, and the two are still on good terms. She thought Xiao Zihan would stand by Cai Lin, saying that she was too impulsive.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Zihan didn't blame her, she couldn't help being a little surprised.

The atmosphere gradually became better again. Xiao Zihan looked at Tang Xuan and continued, "No one can make you leave here except me. In the future, no matter if you come to let you go, you don't have to pay attention to them. None of them have the right to do so." .”

Xiao Zihan's eyes were too hot, Tang Xuan didn't dare to look directly at him for a while, and quickly looked away.

At the same time, her heart was beating wildly.

"do you know?"

Tang Xuan clenched the hand hanging by her side, swallowed, and nodded, "...Yes, I see."

This soft attitude moved Xiao Zihan's heart. He looked at Tang Xuan's ears that were blushing little by little, and the warm memories in his heart were awakened again.

It seemed that when she was still in school, Tang Xuan didn't dare to look at him, she always lowered her head, while he just looked at Tang Xuan's bright red ears, his heart was so excited.

"Xuanxuan..." Xiao Zihan couldn't help calling out this, the first name he had given to Tang Xuan after more than a year.

Tang Xuan trembled, and her entire body seemed to be tense.

Xiao Zihan originally wanted to get closer to Tang Xuan, but seeing Tang Xuan so nervous, he could only suppress the restlessness in his heart, took a step forward, wrapped her around Tang Xuan, and planted a light kiss on Tang Xuan's forehead.

"sleep early."

Tang Xuan almost held her breath as she nodded like a wooden figure.

Xiao Zihan was amused by Tang Xuan's dumbfounded reaction. Although he was helpless, he found it cute, "Good night."

"Good night." Tang Xuan uttered two words like a gnat.

Although the voice was very small, Xiao Zihan heard it. He was melancholy and entangled with his emotions for a week, because these two words, this soft voice, were soothed.

After Tang Xuan finished speaking, she went into the bedroom. Xiao Zihan was still the same as before, watching Tang Xuan close the bedroom door in front of him.

Only this time, his mood obviously changed.

And he was sure that Tang Xuan's mood was also different.The distance between the two of them is getting closer.

Perhaps one day, all problems can be solved, and he and Tang Xuan can go back to the past.

With the best hope in his arms, Xiao Zihan got temporary satisfaction, and didn't stay long, turned around and went back to the study.

Nesting on the sofa in the study, the corners of Xiao Zihan's mouth slowly turned up.He hasn't been this happy for a long time.

Because he was in such a good mood, Xiao Zihan decided to put aside his prejudice against his mother for the time being, and called back to ask his mother if there was anything she could do for him.

He thought, even if his mother was messing around with his father's affairs again, he wouldn't be angry after hearing this, and he should comfort his mother well.

It's a pity that Xiao Zihan never thought of what it means to be one foot taller than the devil.

When the phone was connected, Xiao Zihan called his mother softly.

"Xiao Han..." On the phone, Zhao Suizhi's voice sounded a little weak, "Have you returned from a business trip?"

"Well, I just came back this afternoon. I went directly to the company to deal with some matters, and went to have dinner with Jinyu Linlin." Xiao Zihan finished reporting the family in a good mood, and asked Zhao Suizhi, "Mom, what have you been doing for the past two days?" It's okay. The temperature has dropped quite a lot recently, so you don't have a cold, do you?"

Zhao Suizhi smiled slightly, "I don't have a cold, I'm fine. And you, don't you have a cold?"

"Of course I didn't." Xiao Zihan hadn't heard such a calm and gentle voice from his mother for a long time, so he couldn't help feeling a little emotional.Then he asked again: "Mom, you are in a hurry to call me today, what's the matter?"

Zhao Suizhi was silent for a moment, and asked slowly, "Xiaohan, have you gotten close to Lin Qiaoer, the only daughter of the Lin family, lately?"

The smile on Xiao Zihan's face collapsed in an instant, and his relaxed body sat up straight, "...Mom, how do you know Lin Qiaoer?"

"I heard what your Uncle Lin said." Zhao Suizhi's voice became anxious, "Your Uncle Lin and your father are friends. When your father didn't go in, the two of them had a good friendship in private."

Xiao Zihan frowned, he had a premonition that what his mother would say next must be something he didn't want to hear.

"Mom, didn't I tell you to stop looking for people randomly? The case has already been judged, and it's useless to find someone."

Zhao Suizhi quickly explained, "No, I didn't mean to tell you this."

"Then what are you going to say?"

"I just want to tell you that our family and the Lin family have friendship, and you and Lin Qiao'er can also play together, and they are quite suitable in every way." Zhao Suizhi's tone was not a suggestion, but as if he had made up his mind "I thought, you two will be together."

Xiao Zihan never expected that his mother would tell him this, what does it mean, to marry him?

Zhao Suizhi didn't hear Xiao Zihan's answer, and continued to speak slowly: "Xiaohan, it's too hard for you to support our Xiao family by yourself now, after being with Lin Qiaoer, we are a family, and your Uncle Lin will help you. "

Xiao Zihan said unhappily: "Uncle Lin is the director of our Xiao Corporation, and it is only natural for him to work for the Xiao Corporation. There is no need to add this marriage."

"Xiao Han, don't be too stubborn, I have already talked with the elders of the Lin family, and they are very optimistic about the two of you."

"What?" Xiao Zihan was going crazy when he heard what Zhao Suizhi said, "Mom, you don't discuss with me about such a big matter, something related to my future?"

Zhao Suizhi wasn't as excited as Xiao Zihan, her tone was still slow, "I'm discussing with you, I met that girl Lin Qiaoer, she's pretty good, very suitable for you."

Xiao Zi's lungs hurt from the cold, and he was completely speechless.

"Okay, don't be so emotional, think about it carefully, this arrangement is really good, you should also prepare, another day, our two families will meet." After Zhao Suizhi finished speaking, he hung up the phone .

"Boom—" Xiao Zihan waved his hand, and the phone flew out, hit the wall, and cracked.

Xiao Zihan's entire chest was heaving, and all the good mood he had before making this phone call just now were ruined.

"Ma Dan!" Xiao Zihan was out of breath, and burst out with a dirty word.

He thought of all the things after meeting Lin Qiaoer in the afternoon, and suddenly understood why Lin Qiaoer would have that confident smile from time to time.

It turned out that a hole had already been dug for him!

Heh, Xiao Zihan stood up with a smile, stepped forward to pick up the phone, pulled out the calling card, and said disdainfully in his heart, Lin Qiaoer, how dare you use this trick on me, trying to force me to submit?

Go dream!

But this time, Xiao Zihan underestimated Lin Qiaoer.

As soon as Xiao Zihan went to work the next day, he received the attention of colleagues and assistants in the company. It was different from before, with some inexplicable smiles and blessings.

Xiao Zihan was restless and didn't bother to go around in circles, so he asked the assistant directly, "What happened, why are everyone looking at me strangely."

The assistant was taken aback for a moment, and then smiled sweetly, "Mr. Xiao, everyone is not looking at you strangely, they are happy for you."

"Happy for me? What are you happy about?" Xiao Zihan frowned.

The assistant took out the phone, tapped the screen a few times, and handed it to Xiao Zihan, "Mr. Xiao, this report was posted this morning. It's quite popular, and everyone should have seen it."

Xiao Zihan looked suspiciously at the phone screen, and his entire face turned dark after seeing the bold and black headline on the screen.

"The news of the marriage broke out by the young president of the Xiao Group, who is the only daughter of the Lin family! "

The most important thing is that there are a few accompanying pictures below. In the pictures, he and Lin Qiaoer look quite close, and the smile on Lin Qiaoer's face makes people dream about it.

"Xiao...Mr. Xiao..." The assistant watched Xiao Zihan's face getting darker and darker, and was so frightened that he didn't dare to breathe out, and secretly looked at Xiao Zihan in fear.

Xiao Zihan's chest rose and fell. After he wrote down the website of the news report, he threw the phone to the assistant, got up, and called the office of the person in charge of the website.

"Hey, Mr. Xiao, congratulations." The other side didn't know that Xiao Zihan came to Xingshi to inquire about the crime, so he greeted Xiao Zihan happily.

Xiao Zi smiled coldly, "Congratulations? Congratulations for what? Congratulations for fabricating gossip for me?"

"Ah... I don't have one."

"You didn't, then tell me who released the news about my marriage." Xiao Zihan's voice was as cold as a piece of ice, "Who gave you the courage to spread rumors about me like this, you are not afraid that I will sue you ?”

Hearing Xiao Zihan's tone, the person in charge on the opposite side immediately panicked, "No, Mr. Xiao, listen to me, I'm not making this up or spreading rumors, Mrs. Xiao called me and asked me to write this."

Mrs. Xiao?
"My mother called you?" Xiao Zihan frowned suddenly, "She asked you to write about me and Lin Qiaoer?"

"Yes, if she hadn't called and said that you and Miss Lin were getting married soon, how could I have reported this matter."

Xiao Zi rubbed his brows coldly, "Okay, I know, I don't want to pursue this matter, but I want you to take down the news immediately and re-issue a clarification report. Explain in the report that Lin Qiaoer and I have no Any relationship, just ordinary colleagues."

"This..." The person in charge on the opposite side hesitated for a while, half wronged and half entangled, "Mr. Xiao, the reputation of our website will be greatly reduced. Besides, Mrs. Xiao said when she asked us to report, if If you deny it, I will let you tell her..."

"Boom—" Xiao Zihan hung up the phone.
