Tang Zhixia panicked and subconsciously hid under the window. Through the open window, the voices of the people inside could be heard clearly.
"My dear nephew, don't you recognize your uncle?" This was the voice of a middle-aged man.
"I don't allow you to disturb my grandma's birthday party, go out." Xi Jiuchen's voice was filled with warning and anger.
"Your grandma is my stepmother. What should I say? As a stepson, I should also fulfill my filial piety. My good nephew, please don't stop your uncle from fulfilling his filial piety, okay?" The man's voice contained a pleading tone.
"You are not qualified to see her, and there is no place for you in the Xi family. If you are still ignorant, don't blame me for being ruthless." Xi Jiuchen's voice was extremely unkind.
"Jiu Chen, I still remember that I hugged you when you were just a few years old. Now more than twenty years have passed, and you are already the leader of the Xi family. I am really impressed and extremely proud of you!"
The man hissed, playing the family card, and continued to plead in a soft voice, "Jiuchen, give your uncle some face and let him meet your grandma, just for ten minutes."
"I say it again, get out." Xi Jiuchen's voice was as cold as a knife and merciless.
"You..." the middle-aged man's voice suppressed his anger.
Even hiding outside the window, Tang Zhixia could feel the solidified air inside and the tense atmosphere.
"Jiuchen, do you really want to be so heartless? I am also a member of the Xi family and your uncle after all. How can you be so disrespectful to me?"
"The Xi family has not had a figure like you for a long time. In my eyes, you are nothing." Xi Jiuchen said coldly.
"Okay, very good, I will remember what you said today, Jiuchen, you will regret it." Xi Ruiming shouted angrily and heard a slamming door.
Tang Zhixia outside the window was so startled that his heart skipped a beat, and he stepped on a dead leaf under his feet, making a small rustling sound.
At this moment, a cold voice came, "Who, come out."
Tang Zhixia was just thinking about leaving when her heart jumped again at these words. She blushed and replied, "It's me... Tang Zhixia."
Just after Tang Zhixia finished answering, a figure walked towards the window. Xi Jiuchen looked at her in astonishment and lowered his voice, "Why is it you?"
"If I say I didn't eavesdrop on purpose, would you believe me?" Tang Zhixia said nonchalantly, feeling extremely embarrassed.
"Of course I believe it, come in!" Xi Jiuchen smiled at her.
Tang Zhixia walked in from the front and found that he was the only one in the entire living room of the villa. He was sitting on the sofa, lit a cigarette, and was puffing away, obviously in a bad mood.
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have eavesdropped. I promise I won't say a word to anyone outside." Tang Zhixia raised her palms, although there was nothing to say about this matter.
Xi Jiuchen suddenly put out the cigarette he had just taken a few puffs on, stood up and said, "Come out with me to relax."
Tang Zhixia just accompanied him out. Along the direction of an uninhabited bamboo forest, there was a dense bamboo forest path with a few dim street lights scattered inside. Looking at the tall and tall figure walking in front, Tang Zhixia could not help but wonder for a moment.
Know what to say.
"He is my father's half-brother. He was kicked out of the family twenty years ago."
Tang Zhixia pursed her lips and said, "I know, your grandma talked to me about him this afternoon. Is it because of him that your parents died?"
Xi Jiuchen was slightly startled and turned to look at her, "It seems that my grandma regards you as one of her own."
Tang Zhixia's face felt hot, Mrs. Xi indeed meant this.
"That year, my parents went abroad to deal with the mess he caused. There was a helicopter accident and both of them died." After Xi Jiuchen finished speaking, he raised his head slightly, and the light shone on his face, showing a look of sadness.
Tang Zhixia's heart tugged, and she didn't know how to comfort him.
But what cannot be said in words, sometimes it is easier to express it in actions. Tang Zhixia stretched out her hand to hold his arm, with silent concern in her eyes.
Xi Jiuchen lowered his eyes and fell on her hands. He clasped her wrist with one hand and put his arm around her waist with the other. The two of them were immediately close to each other.
Tang Zhixia's breathing shortened slightly, but she did not pull away. Xi Jiuchen's eyes were glaring down. His eyes were so charming that any woman would be moved by just one look at him.
Tang Zhixia is neither a clay figure nor a wood, so her heart will be shaken. Especially at this moment, Xi Jiuchen exudes a fragile aura and needs comfort and comfort.
When the man tilted his head slightly and approached her, she didn't need words to know what he was going to do.
I don't know whether it was the light above her head, the moonlight in the sky, or this man who was bewitching her. Her waist was tightly held by the man's strong arms, and her breath was filled with the charming smell of the man. Tang Zhixia clearly knew that this was wrong.
She should have pushed him away, but it was like acupuncture. In addition to feeling hot all over, blushing and heartbeat, she just watched this man kiss her.
"Xi Jiuchen, don't be like this..." When his lips were about to touch, she weakly tried to resist.
But as if the man heard that she didn't really refuse, he bent his mouth slightly and directly sealed her lips.
The surroundings were quiet, and the sounds from the banquet hall could be vaguely heard, but they could not be disturbed.
Tang Zhixia was held in the man's hot and strong embrace, and her powerful heartbeat hit her heart, full of safety and danger.
Safety is given by him, and danger comes from him.
The stars in the sky are shining, and in the bamboo forest, the man is pouring all his passion into the girl in his arms.
Tang Zhixia's mind was sometimes blank and confused, but more often than not, she was led into a beautiful and dreamy dreamland by this man.
This kiss made Tang Zhixia feel confused, shy and sweet.
For a man, the warmth of her body and the elegant fragrance are all healing medicine, making him addicted and unable to let go.
Moreover, this feeling reminded him of that night five years ago, but he quickly shook it off. He didn't want to think about the taste of other women while kissing her.
Finally, through the clothes, Tang Zhixia could feel that this man was dangerous, and she suddenly woke up. Tonight was the old lady's birthday party, and it would not be good for them to kiss passionately here.
She pushed the man, and he let go of her and pressed his forehead against hers. His black eyes reflected her red face. He declared hoarsely, "You are not allowed to fall in love with any other man except me."
Tang Zhixia curled her lips and smiled, "Is there ever a day when Mr. Xi is not confident?"
Xi Jiuchen's eyes immediately filled with strong possessiveness. He pressed her tightly into his arms and declared again, "You can only be mine."
Tang Zhixia looked up at him and blinked, reflecting the starlight and him.
She didn't answer because she wasn't ready yet, and she didn't refute because she didn't reject his possessiveness in her heart.
The man suddenly leaned down, nibbled on her ear, and said hoarsely, "If you don't answer, I'll take it as your promise."
