Chapter 36: You are the one who needs to keep a distance
After a pause, Situ Leiyan suppressed his anger and said, "I'm asking you, do you know him? Do you know how deep his underworld background is!"
It’s not that she hasn’t experienced hardships before. Zhong Yixuan’s behavior almost threatened her before, but now Leng Zhiqing is a person she doesn’t even have a close friendship with. Unexpectedly, she appears with him who can’t even be beaten with eight poles.
in front of yourself.
These were enough to make him destroy the entire place, but for her, he had to endure it.
What? - Xiao Xixi was startled unexpectedly, and a cocktail she was holding in her hand almost slipped from her hand. Leng Zhiqing, has a gang background?! How is it possible? She couldn't help but look at Situ Leiyan in confusion: "You said
he..."
Situ Leiyan's eyes were as dark as a moonlit night, silent and silent, and he nodded.
"How is it possible...he..." Xiao Xixi slowly looked away from his face, with some surprise and astonishment in her mind. Leng Zhiqing was mysterious, but wasn't the figure from the underworld's back too outrageous?
She searched for impressions of him and suddenly remembered that he had indeed received a gunshot wound that night.
However, if he had a gangster background, what kind of company should he open in public and what kind of chairman should he be? A series of questions suddenly appeared in Xiao Xixi's mind.
"You'd better keep a distance from him." Seeing Xiao Xixi's hesitant expression, Situ Leiyan lowered his voice and spoke at the right time. She always has no scheming towards people and things, so she must be reminded.
One word, but Xiao Xixi coldly raised her eyes again and looked at Situ Leiyan. Keep a distance from him.
Keeping a distance sounds very familiar. Yes, it sounds so familiar. Isn't it the same thing that Gu Ruolan begged herself to keep a distance from Situ Leiyan?
She looked at Situ Leiyan in front of her and suddenly felt very funny and speechless. His words reminded her just right.
Xiao Xixi gently raised her eyes to Situ Leiyan's face: "I think the person who needs to keep a distance is you. I don't know why you, everyone feels dangerous. Except you, I
You have to keep your distance from everyone, right?"
She was dressed in black and had a jerky expression. Situ Leiyan once again felt that she was so cold and charming, as if she was a different person.
Xiao Xixi continued: "I don't need to know what kind of background he has. But, let me reiterate, I hate you, from the first time I met you. I hope you can remember this."
"Xiao Xixi, don't mistake your good intentions for..." Situ Leiyan was even more impatient.
"What do you think it is?" Xiao Xixi didn't wait for him to finish. She thought about it and then continued, "Oh... then, since you know Leng Zhiqing's so-called background, you are having a banquet with him now. I think it's complicated.
It's not someone else at all, but you." When she thought of his speculations about others, Xiao Xixi couldn't understand his sinister behavior.
After saying that, she turned around and was about to leave, but Situ Leiyan refused to let her go and hurriedly grabbed her forearm. Xiao Xixi struggled twice, but in vain, and her voice became urgent: "Let me go!"
"Don't let go." Situ Leiyan held her hand and touched her briefly. If he had a second to fight for her at this moment, he would not give up.
"You..." She bit her lip, and the slight evening breeze blew from the rooftop, making her more and more awake. In a hurry, she suddenly remembered that she was still holding a wine glass in her hand, and she poured the wine on it without thinking.
Situ Leiyan's face.
Sure enough, subconsciously, Situ Leiyan loosened his hand to caress his face and eyes. At this point, Xiao Xixi hurriedly ran to the banquet hall without looking back.
Situ Leiyan's eyes were blinded by the wine, and he was stung by the sting. He tried his best to endure the sting. He opened his eyes in a hazy state, and when he searched again, he only saw Xiao Xixi's back firmly leaving.
Instantly, a cold feeling filled his heart. He pinched his hand between his eyebrows, holding back his grieving temper. Unexpectedly, she would use such a move to deal with him!
The bright lights in the banquet hall are not as cool as the breeze on the rooftop, which can make people feel safe.
Xiao Xixi searched for Leng Zhiqing's figure and hurriedly walked over. Standing next to him, she just wanted to break away from Situ Leiyan's shackles and couldn't help but feel relieved.
She tried to calm down, and after seeing that there was no Situ Leiyan chasing behind her, she relaxed a little. However, in desperation, she poured wine on him, which must have angered him, right?
"Huh?" Xiao Xixi was startled for no reason, and quickly looked away, hiding her guilty conscience and replying, "It's okay, I, I'm really a little uncomfortable." Situ Leiyan was uneasy after having made such a fuss just now.
Leng Zhiqing put down the wine glass and stared at her face intently. He began to know that she just tried her best not to come to this banquet and lied about feeling uncomfortable. But now, her face did not look natural, even though she was decorated with makeup.
, but could not hide the discomfort naturally revealed in his expression.
He believed it and said calmly: "Go and say hello, and then go back."
Xiao Xixi rubbed her head and sneered apologetically: "Can you... go by yourself?" Now that she was asked to face Situ Leiyan's face, she really couldn't imagine what she would see.
After getting Leng Zhiqing's consent, she held up the hem of her skirt and walked out. She didn't want to stay for a moment. Since she had already been here, she had completed her duties.
Xiao Xixi sighed and walked outside under the guidance of the waiter Binran. It was already nine o'clock. I wonder what happened to the two or three children? She was not familiar with this club and had never been there before.
I knew the way and had nowhere to walk in the dark, so I had to sit on a seat in the corridor with my thoughts too complicated.
Ten minutes later, she finally heard people bidding farewell to Leng Zhiqing, and Xiao Xixi couldn't help but stand up and look over. However, inadvertently, she glanced over and caught Situ Leiyan's expression.
In fact, his expression was almost expressionless. She looked at him, but he was as calm as still water. His eyes only met Xiao Xixi's for less than a second, then he naturally looked away and continued talking with Leng Zhiqing.
For a moment, Xiao Xixi even felt that what just happened never happened, as if it was just a dream of hers.
She tried her best to smile and went up to him. Leng Zhiqing didn't even care that Situ Leiyan was by his side and said leisurely: "Are you still feeling uncomfortable?"
Xiao Xixi felt embarrassed for a moment and shook her head: "No, it's much better."
Leng Zhiqing didn't ask any more questions, and the two of them got into the car amidst everyone's farewells. Situ Leiyan naturally held back and would not be sent to the end.
It wasn't until Leng Zhiqing stepped on the accelerator that Xiao Xixi completely relaxed. She didn't care that Leng Zhiqing was around and sighed: "It's finally over."
"Don't like it?" Leng Zhiqing's voice spoke, and Xiao Xixi paused. She was lost in her thoughts and forgot about his reaction. She looked sideways, and Leng Zhiqing also glanced casually.
"Well, I just like to be quieter." She replied softly. The atmosphere between the two of them in the carriage was much better than the constant worry just now.
"Really?" Leng Zhiqing pressed the speaker, and a medium-sized bass music slowly played, "You were not like this when you were in the parent-child class." In fact, it was a bit of a joke, but from his perspective
As he said it, Xiao Xixi didn't want to laugh at all.
"That is also my mission." She said clearly. As a mother of two children, her natural mission and task is not to let them grow up healthily and happily. Of course she must be active in the parent-child class.
Treat the two babies with kindness.
But, wasn't the task she completed much better than Leng Zhiqing? He was there, but his indifferent attitude was nothing like that of an ordinary father.
Then, she suddenly heard, he... is indeed not an ordinary father. If what Situ Leiyan said is true, then, does the cold and tough man next to her have a gang background?
Leng Zhiqing lightly touched the car gear, and as the road turned slightly, she opened her thin lips and said, "So, your attendance tonight is also for a mission?"
"Of course." Xiao Xixi looked at the car lights shining on the ground and answered mechanically. She casually took the water handed over by Leng Zhiqing, unscrewed the bottle cap and took a sip.
"Don't leave tonight." Leng Zhiqing suddenly said these words.
Xiao Xixi just drank a few sips of water and almost squirted out. Did he put the wrong line... Suddenly, his mind came to mind again about his underworld. Xiao Xixi felt more and more that the unconcealed wildness exuding from the man next to her was even more...
Yes, his coldness, the freezing feeling in his actions and words, etc. For a time, all the accumulated fragments appeared in front of Xiao Xixi's eyes.
"I don't, I'm going back." Her tone was very insistent.
Leng Zhiqing looked at her, inexplicably showing a rare smile. This made Xiao Xixi, who was waiting for his reply, suddenly stunned. She reiterated with some doubt: "I'll go back."
"Yeah." Leng Zhiqing stopped smiling and looked straight at the road in front of him.
The car finally stopped slowly. Looking through the car window, Xiao Xixi realized that it was in front of her home.
She asked in surprise: "Are the children back?" She suddenly remembered that she had indeed handed the keys to her secretary before going out. It seemed that Xiaojue and Xiaohui were back!
Leng Zhiqing nodded: "The nanny is always watching." His tone told her not to worry.
Xiao Xixi said goodbye, opened the car door and walked down. After taking a few steps, she found that Leng Zhiqing also got out of the car and followed her calmly.
Xiao Xixi was a little surprised: "You...why are you following me?"
Leng Zhiqing also stopped, stood a few steps behind her, and suddenly said: "Xiao Ran is here too."
Although Xiao Xixi was in a mess, she still let him follow her into the house. Thinking about it, the last time he came, he still suffered a gunshot wound.
After opening the door and going in, the nanny heard the sound and walked out of the room, explaining to the two people politely.
Xiao Xixi hurriedly went into the bedroom to see her children before she could finish her words. She opened the door slightly and saw three children lying on the bed, each sleeping soundly and sweetly. Xiao Xixi smiled calmly, and the stone in her heart fell to the ground.
