Lin Jinxiao's heart ached like a knife. During the day, this woman was still nestling in his arms like a little bird, feeling very intimate with him.
In just the blink of an eye, she seemed to have changed into a different person, deliberately teasing herself without saying anything, and being so ruthless that she didn't dare let anyone get close to her.
Her always aloof attitude is really a bit uncomfortable.
"Chu Nanzhi, am I really so unbearable in your heart that I can't even get you the most basic respect from me with all my sincerity?"
Lin Jinxiao asked disheartenedly.
"I"
Chu Nanzhi knew that he was angry because of what happened today.
This was indeed due to my lack of consideration and not informing him in advance, which caused him to spend most of the night in the city.
But if I try to explain it to him at this time, I'm afraid it will only get darker and darker.
After all, Taigong Zhao was not seriously ill. If he delayed the agreement with him by saying that he was going to help Taigong Zhao see a doctor, it would make him feel that he did not value him enough.
There are countless doctors in this city, and it is never the turn of a woman like me to treat Zhao Taigong.
Because in his eyes, he didn't have a close relationship with Taigong Zhao now, so he wouldn't be so concerned about it.
But if he told the truth, with his pretty face, he would secretly dig deep to find out the reason.
When the time comes, the transaction with Taigong Zhao will be involved, which will make him lose his professional ethics, and it will be even worse if it affects his rent reduction policy.
After all, you should be loyal to others when you accept money from them. Since Taigong Zhao didn't want the government to get involved, she didn't want Lin Jinxiao to know too much about the old grandpa.
Right now, both himself and Lin Jinxiao need a smooth transition period.
Besides, she hasn't said anything to the pretty guy yet.
After thinking about it, she said solemnly to Lin Jinxiao: "What happened today is my fault. I apologize to you. I didn't mean to hurt your heart on purpose, nor did I disrespect you. If I didn't have you in my heart
, why should I agree to go to the county government office, right?"
Moreover, if I didn’t have you in my heart, how could you, a pretty boy, take advantage of me again and again?
Afraid that he would ask further questions, Chu Nanzhi immediately added seriously: "It's just that I have my own principles for doing things, Lin Dalang. You are an official and I am a businessman. I don't ask about your affairs. I also hope that you won't interfere.
Too much about me."
"I never wanted to interfere with your affairs. On the contrary, I will comply with you as much as possible in whatever you want."
Lin Jinxiao looked calm and replied forcefully: "Chun Nanzhi, don't you understand the truth by now? All I have arranged for you is just to hope that you will be safe and sound. I have never thought of interfering with you."
After a pause, he took a deep breath and continued in a serious voice: "You can rush to separate the relationship with me, but I can't let you go. You are the mother of our little treasures. If you make any mistake,
How do you want me to explain it to them?"
Thinking of the menacing group of assassins today, he still felt lingering fear in his heart.
He was really worried about how this woman would cope one day when she was besieged by so many people and he happened not to be by her side.
Although he has seen her skills, she is easy to hide and hard to guard against. The forces hidden behind have always been a hidden worry in his heart, not to mention that she has already offended the gang behind the tax bank case and the eldest princesses of Nanhua Temple.
.
After saying this, he opened the door angrily and walked out without looking back.
Chu Nanzhi didn't know why he said such harsh words. He had never left the city without permission and followed his instructions to live in the Lin family's old house as promised. What else could he be worried about.
Even if someone wanted to murder her, they would not do it blatantly in the county or on the territory of the Lin clan.
This Chongrenfang is adjacent to the county captain's mansion, and there are thousands of sergeants from the coastal defense battalion stationed in the city. How could anyone be so stupid?
Smelling the strong smell of plaster in the study, Chu Nanzhi looked around and didn't notice anything strange. But just now, she clearly smelled the pungent and tangy medicinal fragrance emanating from his shoulders, which was strange.
The study was always his place, and he couldn't stay here for a long time, so he turned off the lights, closed the door, and walked back to the living room with the lantern in hand.
The quadruplets were already full at this time. When they saw their mother coming back, they all gathered around and called anxiously: "Mom, have you made Dad happy?"
After hearing what the little guys said, Chu Nanzhi's gloomy face almost made them laugh. She shook her head in a reserved manner and replied perfunctorily: "It's getting late, you guys go to sleep well and wait for tomorrow, tomorrow."
Mom will definitely make your father happy, okay?"
There was some helplessness in the eyes of the quadruplets, but they were afraid of making their mother angry again, so they could only pretend to be obedient and nodded obediently.
Chu Nanzhi smiled happily and ordered Sang Qi to send the second and third treasures to Lin Jinxiao's room. According to the agreement, Dabao and the fourth treasure would sleep with him tonight.
She led the two little ones back to the bedroom, turned off the lights and lay down on the bed. Thinking of how the three treasures were hesitant to speak just now, she asked cautiously: "Dabao, four treasures, you are all the best, tell the truth.
Mother, I didn’t expect my mother tonight, did your father take you to the east of the city and come back with you without finding your mother?”
"Well, grandma, that's it."
Dabaolin Ruiwen thought about what his father had told him, gritted his teeth and replied firmly.
Sibaolin Ruijia did not dare to answer truthfully, so she secretly hugged Chu Nanzhi's arm and said, "Auntie, my father actually really cares about you. He did a lot of good things in person at the county government today."
Food is waiting for you, but we waited for a long, long time but didn't get you, so we came out to look for you."
Chu Nanzhi couldn't help but feel moved in her heart.
I didn't expect him to actually cook the food himself. No wonder he was so enthusiastic and insisted on going there by himself.
In my impression, the pretty boy doesn't seem to be a man who is good at cooking and can just make porridge.
Moreover, except for cooks, men in ancient times rarely entered the kitchen to cook themselves.
Even among the farmers in the village, few can cook, let alone scholars.
I was very touched that he had such a heart, but whether the food he cooked could be eaten was another matter.
Fortunately, she didn't go there today. If he forced herself to eat the food he cooked when she got there, she would be embarrassed thinking about the unpalatable scene and having to praise his craftsmanship against her will.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but secretly feel happy.
But then Dabao's words gave her away from this idea: "Mom, daddy's cooking is exactly the same as yours, and they are all delicious."
"Ah, really?"
Chu Nanzhi was a little surprised when he heard this, thinking that this little guy Dabao was deliberately trying to please his old father in front of him.
"Aniang, it's true. It's just a pity that Aniang didn't go."
Dabao sighed with regret, clung to her arms, and begged earnestly: "Mom, when daddy is happy, can I let him cook for you again?"
"okay."
Chu Nanzhi responded casually, feeling sleepy all over her body, and quickly persuaded the two little ones to sleep quickly.
