The whole night, Xia Tong was a little distracted. While washing the dishes, he even accidentally broke a porcelain bowl.
Gu Haoran, who was playing games with Xia Guaiguai in the living room, heard the noise and walked to her side: "Why are you so careless? Let me do it." He pushed her away.
The man bent down, picked up the broken porcelain pieces one by one, and threw them into the trash can. Then he put on plastic gloves and washed the dishes.
Xia Tong was a little embarrassed beside him: "Why is this so embarrassing?"
Gu Haoran blinked at her: "I come here every day to eat and drink. It would be too shameless if I didn't do something."
Xia Tong muttered: "You are very cheeky to begin with."
"What?" Gu Haoran put his ear to her lips: "What did you just say? I didn't hear... I didn't hear..."
Xia Tong smiled and pushed him away: "If you want to wash it, be serious!"
"But what should I do?" Gu Haoran said aggrievedly: "You stand beside me, I can't calm down...Tong baby, why don't you reward me with a reassuring kiss?"
"..." Xia Tong: "If you don't behave seriously, I will leave..."
"Hey... don't..." He grabbed her and said pitifully: "Baby Tong..."
Xia Tong looked at the foam on his sleeves and broke down and howled: "Gu Haoran!"
"Hehe..." He smiled and let go of his hand, looking in a good mood. He pouted angrily at the apron hanging on the glass door of the kitchen and said, "Baby Tong, help me put it on."
Xia Tong said while packing up his sleeves: "You can have enough food and clothing by yourself."
"Are you sure?" He raised his eyebrows at her.
Xia Tong looked at the man's hands full of foam and the handmade suit that looked very expensive at first glance, and finally spread his hands helplessly: "Okay, okay..."
She took off her apron, walked to Gu Haoran, and said, "Lower your head."
He bent his knees and did as he was told. A section of his smooth neck was exposed under his lowered head. His wheat-colored skin glowed with a faint halo under the wall lamp. Xia Tong stood on tiptoes and put on the apron in his hand.
He wrapped her skirt around his neck and then wrapped it around his strong waist. Just as she was about to tie a knot, he suddenly stretched out his hand in front of her and hugged her tightly.
Xia Tong was stunned for a moment and was hugged by him.
"Why don't you come back to work?" he said dullly.
Xia Tong was suffocated and forgot to push him away: "I promised Miss Shen before that I would take care of her during this period. Besides -" Besides, she failed in the election and there was really no reason for her to go back to her original position.
"Don't worry about so much. Haven't I prepared the office for you? If it's because of Joey, I'll go help you..."
"No!" Xia Tong stopped him: "Gu Haoran, I don't want to be like this -" She pushed him away: "There are already enough and confusing rumors about the two of us in the company, and I don't want to cause any more trouble. Yours
I understand your feelings, but in that Tianjing office, you still——."
"But I want to see you -" He interrupted her, his voice was low, with a hint of bewitchment: "Xia Tong, I want to see you every day and see you by my side. If it's because of those rumors, no
It doesn’t matter, I don’t care, I’m even willing to make these rumors true.”
Looking at his firm and affectionate gaze at this moment, Xia Tong was suddenly confused: "Gu Haoran, why do you like me?"
"……."
"I'm not beautiful, I don't have a good family, I don't even have a decent job, and I even have a daughter..." She paused: "Why do you like me like this?"
Gu Haoran laughed: "What question are you asking? Do you need a reason for liking me?"
"Of course." Xia Tong nodded: "If you love too blindly, I will feel that it is too nihilistic, not real and firm enough."
"Okay, then I'll tell you." He said matter-of-factly: "I just like your lack of beauty, your incomplete family, your work as you please, and your lovely daughter..." He looked at it with a smile.
She: "Are these reasons firm enough?"
Xia Tong laughed out loud: "I really admire you."
He hugged her again and said shamelessly: "So, baby Tong, just promise me. Look at my firm eyes..." He glared at her hard.
Xia Tong laughed heartily, and then a soft voice suddenly came out silently: "Mommy, are you dancing with Gu Shumi?"
Xia Tong was startled and pushed Gu Haoran away. He straightened his hair in embarrassment, but Gu Haoran bent down and touched little Guaiguai's head: "I'm discussing with your mommy about giving birth to a younger brother for Guaiguai.
Which one is better, my sister?"
"Ah...really?" Xia Guaiguai's eyes suddenly brightened up. She had been thinking about having a young lady to be ravaged by her brother for a long time. She couldn't help grabbing Gu Haoran's sleeves flatteringly: "Sweetie...I want to have a young lady."
My brother’s…”
Gu Haoran suppressed her laughter and patted her shoulder seriously: "Don't worry, as long as your mommy agrees, it will happen at any time!"
As he spoke, he smiled at Xia Tong, who was twitching the corner of his mouth next to him, with a look of embarrassment on his face.
After sending away the satisfied Xia Guaiguai, Xia Tong said coolly: "It seems that I will isolate Guaiguai from you in the future, otherwise you may spread some unhealthy things to her."
"What does it matter? She will know this one day. I am giving sex education in advance."
Xia Tong smiled: "I'm really troubling you."
"Between us...", he nudged her ambiguously: "Do you still need to be so polite?"
Xia Tong collapsed: "The door is over there, Gu Haoran, go out after you finish washing the dishes!"
He shook his head, smiled meaningfully, walked to the edge of the pool, and continued washing dishes: "You finally have an expression..."
"……."
"Do you know that before tonight, you always looked like you were lost, with no expression on your face at all?" He turned to look at her, with a touch of warmth in his eyes: "Do you mind if you
Tell me your troubles, maybe I can help you."
Xia Tong was stunned. It turned out that all the unreasonable troubles and jokes he had just made were just to make her happy. It turned out that he had already seen through all the thoughts on her face.
The softest place in her heart seemed to be gently touched by something, causing ripples to appear. Xia Tong had to admit that she was really touched.
She silently walked to his side, took a bowl he had just washed, and wiped it carefully.
"Can I really trust you?" she asked.
"Can you try it?" He smiled at her, vaguely feeling a gentle breath.
