"You gave me so many flowers, but I don't know how to keep them. It's better to give them to my colleagues in the office than to wither in my hands!" Tang Zhixia reluctantly made an excuse.
"I personally picked every flower today, and you just ruined it like this?" Xi Jiuchen's hot breath fell on her face, making her want to bite her.
And he really did so. He bent his head and bit his collarbone under Tang Zhixia's shirt with his thin lips.
Tang Zhixia was unprepared and cried out in pain and shock, "Ah..."
After the man finished biting, he stared at her with resentment, "It's just a small punishment. If you don't cherish what I give you next time, I won't let you go so easily."
Tang Zhixia stretched out his hand to push him and said with dignity, "In the worst case, I'll give you a bunch back."
"I can return the flowers, but can you return this affection?" Xi Jiuchen spoke hoarsely, his eyes dark.
Tang Zhixia was lost in thought for a few seconds, but she pushed it away firmly, "You know I won't cherish the things you give me, so don't give them to me in the future, lest I dispose of them and make you unhappy."
Xi Jiuchen took two steps back, staring at her with his dark and deep eyes, frowning as if he was hurt.
Touching the man's eyes, Tang Zhixia also realized that her words were too sharp, and an apology blurted out of her mouth, "I'm sorry, if my words hurt you, I apologize to you."
The cold light in Xi Jiuchen's eyes dissipated, and a layer of tenderness seemed to surge up. His voice still sounded like a command, "Tang Zhixia, I don't want my feelings to be thrown away like garbage by you again."
Tang Zhixia was startled, opened the door, and said, "It's best not to give it away. If you do, I will throw it away."
The man behind the office, with a somewhat austere face, was silent for a few seconds, then walked towards the floor-to-ceiling window. His slender and tall body exuded an aloof aura under the evening sun.
Tang Zhixia returned to the office, and her thoughts were confused for a moment. Xi Jiuchen's behavior today was so abnormal that she realized something was wrong. Did this man really like her?
When he sends flowers, he sends flowers and selects them himself. Just like Zhan Qingye sends flowers, he must just call the flower shop to order flowers. How can he take the time to select flowers like him?
It’s not surprising that he would be angry, because she did not handle the flowers he sent properly, but how could she expect that he personally picked those flowers one by one?
Why!
Tang Zhixia held his head, extremely depressed.
In the afternoon, Li Mei came over to report the good news. The human resources department contacted Bebeta. After completing the contract, you can move in. Afterwards, you can enjoy delicious desserts and cakes in the company for afternoon tea, and
Fragrant and smooth freshly ground coffee.
And now the entire company knows that all this is due to Tang Zhixia.
This also made Tang Zhixia's image in the company rebound. Those employees who used to look down on her in secret were now openly grateful to her because such benefits were so great.
The most unhappy person about this incident was Aiya. She hoped that everyone in the company would hate Tang Zhixia, but unexpectedly, Tang Zhixia won people's hearts with just one move.
Shu Mei couldn't wait to hide outside the company and called Song Shan to tell Song Shan about the incident.
Song Shan had just performed a play for Tang Zhixia, but she didn't expect Tang Zhixia to fight back in an instant. She thought it was Tang Zhixia's play for her, and she wanted to show her how important she was in Xi Jiuchen's heart.
Song Shan bit her lip, feeling like she was going crazy. She was like a person living in a dark world. Her heart had long since lost sight of the light. She was entangled in resentment, jealousy, and all kinds of negative emotions.
Meeting Xi Jiuchen was not luck at all for her, but her disaster.
She met someone who was too amazing, but she was not good enough. Therefore, she not only lost her heart, she also lost her happiness.
She hated Tang Zhixia so much that she hated her to the core. In Song Shan's eyes, her life was ruined by Tang Zhixia.
In the afternoon, Tang Zhixia gave the first draft to Li Mei for review. Li Mei thought it was very good and asked her to refine it and show it to the female customer tomorrow. If there are no problems, she would make a finished picture and then take it to the factory to start customization.
Production.
Around four o'clock, Tang Zhixia was staring at the computer carefully doing the final finishing work. Suddenly her landline rang. She reached out and picked it up, "Hello."
"Underground garage, I'll give you two minutes." came the man's low and concise voice.
Tang Zhixia suddenly picked up her phone and looked at the time, took a breath, and got busy, almost forgetting to pick up her son.
"Okay, right away." Tang Zhixia replied, quickly packed up her things, turned off the computer, and ran out.
In the underground garage.
Tang Zhixia saw the car starting. She opened the door of the passenger seat and got in. While fastening her seat belt, she said hurriedly, "Let's go quickly! We're going to be late."
The man was speechless. If he didn't remind her, she would have forgotten to pick up her son.
But even so, the man's accelerator still accelerated and drove away.
Tang Zhixia saw the traffic and horses outside and took a breath. She still felt that she was in a good mood because her work was going well, her family was safe, and she felt more relaxed than ever.
Just then, Tang Zhixia's cell phone rang. She picked it up and looked at it. She couldn't help but be confused for a few seconds, then turned to look at the man next to her, "Your grandma called me."
Xi Jiuchen glanced at it and said in a deep voice, "Hands-free!"
Tang Zhixia took a deep breath, reached out and pressed the speakerphone, and said in a sweet and polite voice, "Hello, Grandma Xi."
The old lady's kind voice came softly, "Zhixia! Are you busy lately?"
"Uh! I'm not very busy. Grandma, are you okay?" Tang Zhixia asked with a smile.
"It's like this. I'll treat you to dinner at noon tomorrow. The last banquet was so rushed that I didn't even have a few words with you. So, are you free at noon tomorrow?"
"Uh... I'm... free!" Tang Zhixia replied while looking at the man driving the car.
"I know you have to take care of the child at night and it's not convenient for you to come out, so I made an appointment at noon tomorrow. That's it. Let's go out for a meal together tomorrow night."
"Okay! Grandma Xi." Of course Tang Zhixia agreed. This was the first time this old man invited her to dinner. How could she refuse?
"Okay, then you go ahead and contact me tomorrow."
"Well, okay, bye." After Tang Zhixia finished speaking, she breathed a sigh of relief when the other party hung up and looked at Xi Jiuchen, "Do you know why your grandma invited me to dinner? Are you really just chatting with me?
"
"She is probably looking for you because of the matter between you and Qing Ye." Xi Jiuchen looked forward, his handsome face expressionless.
"What? Why?" Tang Zhixia blinked.
"Because she believed Qingye's proposal to you last time. She probably wants to talk to you about wedding preparations."
"Don't scare me." Tang Zhixia was really frightened. Did Mrs. Xi take her last proposal seriously?
"This is something you did yourself. Don't you know what the consequences will be?" A certain man snorted coldly.
Tang Zhixia bit her red lips. That proposal was indeed taken seriously by everyone, and no one knew what she explained to Zhan Qingye in private.
"Then what should I do? I never thought about marrying Qingye." Tang Zhixia sighed helplessly. She didn't want to delay Zhan Qingye's marriage.
"Tang Zhixia, tell the truth, how do you feel about Qingye? Do you like him or not?" Xi Jiuchen happened to stop at the traffic light, locking her with his deep eyes.
Tang Zhixia bit her lip, "I'm just a friend to him. I like him. I like his humorous personality and his free and easy lifestyle, but I don't want to marry him... I just like him, not
love."
As soon as he finished speaking, Tang Zhixia suddenly woke up and rolled his eyes at a certain man, "Why should I tell you this?"
Xi Jiuchen raised his lips and smiled, "I've said it all, what else is there for?"
Tang Zhixia didn't know since when, in the eyes of outsiders, this man who was aloof, cold and aloof, turned into a person she could talk to at will.
"No more, I'm thinking about how to explain this matter tomorrow!" Tang Zhixia sighed, feeling a little dizzy.
"I'll teach you a trick." The man raised his eyebrows.
"Tell me!" Tang Zhixia wanted to hear it.
"Tomorrow, confess your love to me on the spot in front of Qingye and my grandma." The man's method definitely works.
