Tang Jinteng answered the phone to avoid Xin Yi. How could Xin Yi not notice this while eating?
A pretty face lifted up, looking at Tang Jinteng who walked out to answer the phone, his eyes darkened.
Today is the last day of the year, does he have to leave? She doesn't want to spend New Year's Eve alone, eat snacks and watch the gala party alone.
Xin Yi stood up and walked out, standing behind Tang Jinteng.
Tang Jinteng always behaves the same way when talking to anyone on the phone. He doesn't speak many words, and most of the time it's the other party who does the talking.
After a long while, Xin Yi heard Tang Jinteng say again:
"I have something important to do this afternoon, so I can't leave."
Xin Yi couldn't hear the voice of the other party on the call, but guessed it was his father. Tang Jinteng would only show patience to his elders.
"You are getting older, aren't you being disrespectful to your elders?" Tang Jinteng relented, saying this very helplessly.
It was exactly as Xin Yi guessed, it was his father.
Tang Jinteng, this father, is not an ordinary person. He always has one way or another to make people accept him.
Xin Yi felt tense and quickly reached out to grab Tang Jinteng's clothes. Tang Jinteng was slightly stunned and immediately looked at her sideways.
There was grievance in Xin Yi's eyes, and she whispered in a low voice:
"Don't leave, okay? I don't want to spend the New Year alone..."
Any other time is fine, but can I accompany her today? He said last night that he can accompany her this afternoon. I have been busy for so many days and haven't seen anyone. Isn't it just to relieve myself from these few days?
? Why are you still leaving?
Tang Jinteng looked into Xin Yi's eyes, paused, then turned to the phone and said:
"I'll be right back."
When Xin Yi heard what he said, her heart was broken, and she turned around and ran into the house.
She has no record of putting down her chopsticks halfway through her meal, so this is an example.
Tang Jinteng hung up the phone, strode in, and shouted angrily:
"Xin Yi——"
Xin Yi covered her ears and ran upstairs with "thump thump thump" several times. With tears rolling down her face, she pushed open the door and fell on the bed.
Tang Jinteng went upstairs, pushed the door open and walked in. He stood in front of the bed and said in a deep voice:
"I'm not leaving you alone. You have two choices, follow me to the Tang family, or wait here for me to come back, eh?"
"Don't choose!" Xin Yi lay on the bed, burying her head in the soft quilt and yelling in a muffled voice, "You said you could stay with me today, you said..."
Tang Jinteng looked at the angry woman, and his heart softened, but the old man's furious voice was still buzzing in his ears. All the descendants of the Tang family were here, and he really couldn't be absent. No matter what, he had to go back and have a fight at night.
come over.
"Yibao, be good and obedient, okay?" Tang Jinteng calmly sat on the edge of the bed, patting her back gently and following her hair spread out on the bed.
"I don't want it!" Xin Yi clenched her fist and beat the bed. Tang Jinteng directly wrapped her hand in his palm and whispered:
"Then come with me, okay? You have to meet these people sooner or later, so it's better to meet them sooner."
"I don't want..." Xin Yi still shouted loudly.
Tang Jinteng looked at the angry woman, was silent for a moment, and then said patiently:
"Then wait until I come back? Come back tonight to watch TV with you and celebrate the New Year with you. I promise I won't let you be alone, okay?"
"I don't want it!" Xin Yi shouted again.
Tang Jinteng was furious. He immediately raised his hand to lift her up, pulled her face and said angrily:
"Then what do you want, huh?"
Xin Yi looked at him with tearful eyes. She stopped talking in response to his gaze. Her eyes were full of tears and grievances.
"Yibao, please be obedient, okay?" Tang Jinteng rubbed her face vigorously. This little beast couldn't do anything to her when he was stubborn.
Xin Yi turned her head, and Tang Jinteng turned her face back. Xin Yi pushed his hand away and said loudly:
"It hurts..." His eyelids drooped down, and tears rolled out.
Tang Jinteng held her face and kissed her, saying:
"My dear, is it made of water, eh? I'll come back early and bring you a New Year's gift, okay?"
Xin Yi looked at him. If she wanted to let him go now, would it make him think that she was going there just for his gift?
Tang Jinteng hugged the person, wrapped her hand in his big palm, rubbed it, and whispered:
"Be generous and don't be so stingy. What does it look like to cry during the New Year? Huh?"
"I'm not stingy, Tang Jinteng, I don't want to be here alone." Xin Yi felt that Tang Jinteng was impatient and didn't dare to make any more trouble. No matter how unwilling she was, she couldn't be beaten by him today.
Tang Jinteng hugged Xin Yi, kissed her on the face, and said:
"How can you be alone? Lanxi is still here, playing with Qiuqiu in the afternoon. I will be back soon. I promise not to let you spend this New Year alone, eh? I said, your mother is gone, and I will
I am your support, don’t feel wronged anymore, eh?”
"Then you have to come back earlier." Xin Yi said in a low voice.
Tang Jinteng agreed, looked at her face, and said:
"Come on."
Xin Yi moved her mouth up, poked his lips, and then said: "I just don't want to spend today alone. I know you are busy, Tang Jinteng, and I am not making trouble unreasonably..."
"I know." Tang Jinteng ruffled her hair and whispered.
After Tang Jinteng left, Xin Yi didn't plan to eat the unfinished lunch, so Xin Yi felt bored the whole noon.
The little Filipino servant brought out a lot of things, and Xin Yi just stared at them without any energy.
The little Filipino maid was also discouraged. She walked towards Xin Yi and said dullly:
"Miss Yi, can you smile? This is the biggest festival of the year in country Z. You should be happy. My husband promised that he would come back today, so don't be sad. He has always been trustworthy.
"
"It's not that I'm unhappy because of him, I just don't want to eat alone or watch the party alone." Xin Yi said dullly.
The little Filipino maid frowned and said, "Then in case my husband doesn't come back, can Xia accompany you?"
Xin Yi looked at Xia, nodded, and felt a little happy.
After a pause, he stood up and said, "Forget it, forget it, forget it if he leaves. The two of us can be happy today."
It's good to have company, but the next best thing is that Xia won't leave suddenly, right? As long as she's not alone, that's enough.
Xinyi was playing in the small courtyard outside with Qiuqiu in her arms. Not long after, someone called her from behind:
"Yiyi..."
Xin Yi turned around immediately, and Tang Jingtao walked towards her with a painful look on his face. His hands were full of blood. Xin Yi startled the boss and stood up immediately:
"What's wrong with your hand?"
Xin Yi raised his eyes, looked at the wall behind him, and immediately said in surprise:
"You, you fell off the wall?"
Tang Jingtao looked at Xin Yi with burning eyes, and passed his bloody hand directly to Xin Yi, guessing that she would not bear it.
