half thorns, half joy

Xiao Zihan leaned on the back of the chair and closed his eyes to rest his mind. He had wasted a lot of effort in dealing with Deng Li in recent days, and he was a little tired.

But it wasn't these things that made him feel the most tired.

It's that he hasn't released Xiao Yu's whereabouts so far.

The car Tang Xuan was riding in was hit earlier, Xiao Zihan guessed that Xiao Yu should be protected by Deng Li, so he stared at Deng Li firmly.

But no matter whether it was the news he found or the news from Deng Langyue, there were no clues related to Xiao Yu.

This is really puzzling.

Either, Deng Li hid Xiao Yu too well, or, Xiao Yu was not with Deng Li at all, and his direction was off.

Putting such an insecure factor like Xiao Yu in the dark, he might bite himself and his family one day, Xiao Zihan couldn't feel at ease when he thought about it.

The car stopped at the entrance of the villa, Xiao Zihan slowly opened his eyes.

There was a car parked in front of the gate of the villa, which happened to block the way of Xiao Zihan's car. The driver took a look and reported to Xiao Zihan.

"Mr. Xiao, the car in front belongs to the Cai family."

Xiao Zihan remained silent, opened the car door and got out of the car, walked a few steps to the car blocking the door, raised his hand and knocked on the car window.

The window was lowered, and Cai Lin's face appeared behind the window.

"Brother Zihan..." Cai Lin said in surprise.

"Since everyone is here, why don't you go in?" Seeing the hesitant look on Cai Lin's face, Xiao Zihan asked doubtfully, "What happened?"

Cai Lin pursed her lips, "No, I...hey, let's talk after we go in."

The iron gate of the villa opened, Cai Lin stepped on the accelerator, drove the car in, drove all the way in and parked in the underground garage.

Xiao Zihan stood at the door of the garage waiting for Cai Lin to come out, and walked into the house side by side with Cai Lin.

Cai Lin had something on her mind, so she was not interested in chatting with Xiao Zihan, and Xiao Zihan himself was not a person who seldom chatted, so the two walked into the room in silence.

After entering the room, Cai Lin immediately saw Tang Xuan who was sitting on the sofa holding the computer. She laughed and walked towards Tang Xuan quickly.

"elder sister!"

Tang Xuan was sorting out netizens' opinions on her latest controversial manuscript. She sorted it out very seriously. When Cai Lin called it out, she was so frightened that she almost clicked to delete it.

"Linlin..." Tang Xuan came back to her senses, panted and clicked Save
Cai Lin lay on Tang Xuan's shoulder, and casually glanced at the open documents on Tang Xuan's computer, "Sister, you are sorting out the materials for writing again."

"Ah."

"Don't be too tired, let's have a rest and have dinner." Xiao Zihan also walked over, squeezed Tang Xuan's shoulder, and walked around the sofa to sit opposite Tang Xuan.

He had no other choice, he also wanted to sit next to Tang Xuan, but one side of Tang Xuan was the armrest of the sofa, and the other side was already occupied by Cai Lin. Xiao Zihan, as a prudent man, couldn't sit on the armrest of the sofa.

Tang Xuan was actually in a mess because of being scolded for her manuscript, but as a person who always reported good news but not bad ones, seeing that Cai Lin and Xiao Zihan were both in a good mood, Tang Xuan suppressed her unhappiness.

"Linlin, why did you come here suddenly and didn't tell me in advance." Tang Xuan turned off the computer and said, "Did you two come here together?"

Xiao Zihan answered, "No, I met Linlin at the door." He looked at Cai Lin and asked directly, "Linlin, you just stood at the door and didn't come in. What were you doing?"

Cai Lin couldn't be fooled by such a straightforward question. She looked around in embarrassment, and then lowered her voice and whispered: "I'm afraid that someone will see me and be unhappy..."

This person is obviously Huang Tingting.

Tang Xuan and Xiao Zihan looked at each other before saying helplessly, "No, your brother's matter is over, so don't think about it."

"But...they can't have children after all..." Cai Lin's face showed deep guilt.

At that moment, Tang Xuan felt great irony.

As a bystander, not even a party involved, Cai Lin feels uncomfortable for Huang Tingting, and Huang Tingting herself has completely ignored it, thinking about going on a trip for plastic surgery.

Cai Lin seemed afraid of being heard by Huang Tingting, she finished speaking in a low voice, and then looked around uneasy.

Tang Xuan gave a forced smile helplessly, and said to Cai Lin, "It's okay, Tingting is not the kind of person who would take anger out on others, if you don't mention this, it will be fine."

"Really?" Cai Lin was dubious.

"The past is over, Linlin, don't be so timid." Xiao Zihan said and stood up, "I'll go to the study for a while, call me after dinner."

"Well, okay, I'll call you later." Tang Xuan knew that Xiao Zihan didn't like to listen to these women's gossip, so she didn't want to keep Xiao Zihan around.

In fact, with Xiao Zihan sitting here, Cai Lin couldn't speak well.

After all, Xiao Zihan is a man, and many times he thinks differently from women, and he can't speak together.

Cai Lin held Tang Xuan's arm affectionately, leaned closer to Tang Xuan and asked softly, "Sister, how long will that Huang Tingting stay with you from now on?"

Tang Xuan was surprised, why did she start asking her this all of a sudden?
Did Huang Tingting really live for too long?
Tang Xuan replied, "She's going to travel in a few days, what's the matter?"

"It's nothing." Cai Lin smiled sarcastically, "It's just that she and my brother are fighting like that now. She lives here, and my brother and I are too embarrassed to come over to play. Although we have reconciled on the surface, it is still quite embarrassing in the end. "

Tang Xuan nodded, but did not comment.

What Cai Lin said was reasonable, but even so, Tang Xuan couldn't just ask Huang Tingting to leave.

She couldn't do such a thing that made Huang Tingting unable to step down from the stage, and besides, she didn't want to do it either.

Although she disagreed with Huang Tingting's actions and felt that Huang Tingting had completely changed now, she still cared about Huang Tingting's friendship.

Tang Xuan was silent for a while, then repeated to Cai Lin what Xiao Zihan had just said, "Linlin, let the past go, don't think about it, it's nothing."

Hearing what Xiao Zihan and Tang Xuan said, Cai Lin could only nod in agreement.

In the evening, the four of them had dinner together.

Huang Tingting sat opposite Cai Lin. Although she didn't take the initiative to talk to Cai Lin, she didn't show any face. It can even be said that Huang Tingting was flattering Cai Lin.

In this way, Cai Lin finally felt relieved.

She has been afraid to come to Tang Xuan for the past few days because she was worried that she would be scolded and scolded by Huang Tingting.Seeing that Huang Tingting didn't blame her now, she felt much more at ease.

Cai Lin is a cheerful person who doesn't play with her mind. Since Huang Tingting doesn't blame her, she naturally won't think too much about it.

After happily eating dinner, she chatted with Tang Xuan for a while before planning to leave.

Before leaving, she made an agreement with Tang Xuan that she would come to find Tang Xuan tomorrow and help Tang Xuan find information.

"Linlin, it's getting late, why don't you stay here tonight and don't go back," Tang Xuan advised Cai Lin worriedly.

Cai Lin shook her head and said carelessly, "No, I'll drive back. I didn't bring a change of clothes, so it's inconvenient to stay here."

"There are clean and new clothes at home, you..."

"Oh sister, don't worry about me, I've been here [-] times, it's fine." Cai Lin was actually on her period, and she felt that it was inconvenient to live with Tang Xuan, so she insisted on leaving.

Tang Xuan sent Cai Lin all the way to the entrance of the villa, and gave Cai Lin a few words of advice on the window of Cai Lin's car before letting Cai Lin leave.

Although Cai Lin felt that Tang Xuan was long-winded, she felt warm in her heart.

The corners of her mouth were raised high, humming a little tune cheerfully and driving home.

However, what she didn't expect was that just as she was leaving Xiao Zihan's villa at a corner, her car tire suddenly blew out.
