Masnian stood in the living room, looking at the closed door, clenching his fists tightly, but thinking of the expressions of those people who knew his life experience during dinner tonight, he smiled bitterly, and then walked in lonely and dejectedly.
into the room next to it.
Peace returned to the apartment again, but Masnian could no longer sleep. After tonight and tomorrow, he would leave again, but this time, would he come back? Masnian himself didn't know.
After tossing and turning, Masnian got up at almost five o'clock in the morning. After a simple wash, he changed his clothes and walked out of the room. He happened to hear a scream coming from Xiao Yingxi's bedroom, and he subconsciously rushed in.
.
"No, don't leave me, brother, save me..."
Xiao Yingxi was dreaming. She had her eyes closed tightly, her expression was painful, she was lying on the bed struggling, and she was mumbling some words.
Masnian did not hesitate, and hurriedly walked to the bed, grabbed Xiao Yingxi's waving hands, put them on his chest, and gently touched Xiao Yingxi's head with his other big hand.
"Luoluo, wake up, you are dreaming."
Masnian tried to wake up Xiao Yingxi, but Xiao Yingxi was sleeping too deeply and couldn't be woken up at all. However, when Masnian approached her, Xiao Yingxi seemed to calm down a lot, and she made some soft soft sounds from her mouth.
hum.
"Brother, don't you want me anymore?"
Hearing such words, Masnian's heart was as sharp as a knife. He didn't want this sister anymore. He just didn't want to give himself a chance to hurt this girl, so he always adhered to the bottom line of brother and sister.
Masnian hesitated, but looking at Xiao Yingxi sleeping, he felt restless. In the end, his heart broke out, and he thought it was his last act of arrogance.
Masnian leaned against the head of the bed, hugged Xiao Yingxi into his arms, and gently stroked her soft hair, with insufficiently hidden love in his eyes.
Xiao Yingxi felt the warm embrace and gradually calmed down. She was like a soft kitten, curled up in Mas Nian's arms. She didn't know if she was dreaming or feeling the familiar smell in confusion.
Just listen to her whisper.
"Brother, I love you."
Hearing this, Masnian froze slightly. A sober and calm voice reminded him in his mind. He immediately let go and wanted to leave, but Xiao Yingxi's hand tightly grasped his sleeve, and he only moved slightly.
, Xiao Yingxi frowned uneasily.
In the end, Masnian gave up his struggle and just half-leaned on the head of the bed, quietly looking at the girl he had cared for since childhood in his arms.
After not seeing each other for three years, this girl has long since become a slim girl, and she is no longer the little girl who liked to follow him back then.
Xiao Yingxi has inherited almost all the advantages of Xiao Zichen and Mo Yurou. She is tall, graceful, and has exquisite facial features. She can be pure, charming, well-behaved, or make people want to stop eating like poppies.
When they met at the villa that night, there was surprise in Masnian's eyes. Even that night when their father said that he didn't need to care whether he was the son or son-in-law of the family, he was shaken.
But tonight, after he truly understood the worldly reality, Masnian once again hid his heart.
In fairy tales, it is always the prince who stands next to the princess in the end, while the knight is destined to stand in the corner and guard silently, and can never stand side by side with the princess.
After an unknown amount of time, the first ray of morning sunlight shone into the dim bedroom. Masnian was reluctant to leave and could no longer stay in this room.
He gently pulled out his sleeves and stood up slowly. After leaving the big bed, Masnian hesitated for a moment. The next second, he leaned over and kissed Xiao Yingxi tenderly and affectionately on her forehead.
In just a few seconds, I felt so attached.
Afterwards, Masnian left the bedroom without any pause. When the door closed, the infatuation in his eyes instantly dissipated. With a cold look on his face, he was once again the young man of the Xiao family, the most powerful businessman.
When Xiao Yingxi woke up, it was already half past eight in the morning.
When she was about to get out of bed, she saw the slippers placed beside the bed, frowned slightly, and then her eyes drifted to the bedroom door in the distance.
There was silence outside. Xiao Yingxi felt a little uneasy and a little expectant in her heart. She didn't even bother to wash up, put on her shoes and ran out.
The bedroom door opposite was open, and the quilt on the bed was spread flatly, as if no one had ever slept before. Xiao Yingxi's originally shining eyes dimmed slightly when she didn't see that familiar voice, but
She didn't seem to give up and continued walking outside.
In the living room, at a glance, you can hear the sound of a pin dropping on the ground. On the sofa, the cushions are neatly placed, and the magazines on the coffee table are also neatly stacked together.
Xiao Yingxi's eyes completely lost their light. She sat on the sofa with a disappointed expression, looking at the empty apartment, feeling the loneliness of a person for the first time.
At this time, there was a beep at the door, Xiao Yingxi's eyes suddenly brightened, and she stood up from the sofa.
"Miss, you're up."
Hearing the voice and seeing the person standing at the door, the original light on Xiao Yingxi's face dimmed instantly, and she asked with a lonely expression.
"Xiaoju, when did you come?"
"I arrived at seven in the morning. I saw that the lady was still resting, so I went to the supermarket to buy some food. Is the lady hungry? There is still porridge in the pot. I will serve it to the lady."
With that said, Xiaoju carried the bag and walked towards the kitchen. When Xiao Yingxi saw this, she followed her.
"Xiaoju, did you see my brother when you came?"
"I saw it. The young master went to pick me up downstairs, but he left at half past seven. By the way, he also made a list of things that need to be paid attention to when taking care of the young lady in the future. I really didn't expect that the young master would
The young master has been abroad for three years and has become more careful and considerate than before when he came back."
Xiao Ju didn't notice the expression on Xiao Yingxi's face. She kept praising Mas Nian and pointed to a piece of paper on the coffee table while speaking.
Xiao Yingxi looked down and picked up the piece of paper. It was a full page, all about her, when to take medicine, when to eat, what to eat and what not to eat, everything in detail.
Seeing this, Xiao Yingxi's heart, which should have been calm, became uncontrollably stirred up.
At this time, Xiao Ju brought a bowl of hot white porridge from the kitchen, placed it in front of Xiao Yingxi, and said.
"Miss, this is the porridge that the young master personally cooked for you in the morning. He said that the young lady has a stomachache these days and can only drink these light liquid foods. By the way, the young lady will have to drink the medicine later. The young master is afraid that the young lady will find the medicine bitter.
, specially asked me to buy a lot of hawthorns and plums."
After Xiao Ju said this, Xiao Yingxi smelled a faint smell of Chinese medicine filling the room, and she asked thoughtfully.
"Is my brother still in Hwaseong?"
Yesterday, she said the most cruel words, but when she really thought she couldn't see Mas Nian, Xiao Yingxi tried to find out more about him. Is this still the dependence Mas Nian said?
"The young master didn't say anything, but he probably went back to Luo City. When the young master came down to pick me up, I heard that he and his wife talked on the phone and said they were going to meet at the company today."
Hearing this, Xiao Yingxi took a deep breath, then picked up the porridge and drank it quickly, then drank the Chinese medicine very cooperatively, and then went to school.
Here, Masnian did not return to Los Angeles immediately after leaving Xiao Yingxi's apartment. Instead, he answered Ou Qianyi's call and went to meet him.
They made an appointment at a breakfast restaurant near Tengmai Technology. Ou Qianyi's condition didn't look good and she seemed to have been up all night.
Masnian looked at Ou Qianyi after ordering. Seeing the expression on her face, she could guess what Ou's parents said to her last night without Ou Qianyi opening her mouth.
Mas Nian has always been a person who thinks of others first, especially when facing Ou Qianyi, he felt a little guilty in his heart. Before Ou Qianyi could speak, he had already spoken first.
"Qianyi, I will go back to Luo City in a while. I'm sorry that I didn't explain my life experience to you before, which made you embarrassed."
Ou Qianyi didn't expect that Mas Nian would take the initiative to apologize. In fact, she didn't blame him. After all, she never asked and she never cared.
"Si Nian, there is no need to be sorry. Whether you are an adopted son or a biological child, for me, you are the person I love. In fact, I am the one who wants to say sorry. I apologize for my parents' attitude towards you yesterday."
Her parents' attitude was too obvious last night, and she was worried that it would affect the relationship between her and Masnian, and made Masnian feel that their family valued status too much.
However, Masnian shook his head lightly and said.
"It's okay, I'm used to it. Although few people have made issues with my identity in recent years, I also know very well that to outsiders, blood ties are stronger than the family ties they see. But for me,
It is clear that my parents treat me and my brothers and sisters equally, and I am very grateful to them for taking me back to that home and allowing me to have a warm and complete home."
Having said this, Masnian looked up at Ou Qianyi, thoughtfully, silent for a moment, and then spoke again.
"Qianyi, since I was a child, I have been very eager to have a family of my own. When I returned to China this time, I originally wanted to discuss the engagement after meeting my parents. But now, I think it is better to put this matter aside."
