Zhang Ling was in a daze for a moment because of Li Xiang's words.
She seemed to recall something interesting.
So a happy smile appeared on his face inadvertently.
So Li Xiang deliberately pretended to be sleepy, yawned and reminded:
"Zhang Ling, look it's getting late. If you have nothing else to say, go back to bed and rest. If we want to see Xiaodouzi again before returning to Wuchuan tomorrow, we have to get up early."
Only then did Zhang Ling come back to her senses and murmured with a bit of stubbornness:
"Do I need you to remind me? Really! I shouldn't have come out in such a troublesome manner just now. This is great. My behavior will definitely be misunderstood by him. He will misunderstand that I care about him."
Just care.
To be honest, even Zhang Ling herself can’t figure it out until now.
She is already engaged to Li Xiang.
Moreover, he and Li Xiang had already formed a family of three because of Xiaodouzi.
Their family of three should have become like a real family already.
Care for each other, support each other, understand each other...
But the fact is that she still always treats Li Xiang as an ordinary friend and colleague.
Deliberately keep a certain distance.
It feels like it's because of Qi Diaozhe.
Once bitten, twice shy.
I still dare not accept Li Xiang wholeheartedly.
So even the slightest sign of trouble would make her immediately push Li Xiang away.
To this!
Zhang Ling was also very conflicted in her heart.
As the relationship with Li Xiang deepens, the relationship deepens.
The feeling of guilt in her heart became more and more intense.
Because Zhang Ling once asked her innermost thoughts without anyone interrupting her.
Ask her what she thinks Li Xiang is?
A ridiculous answer kept echoing in her ears.
That is because she regarded Li Xiang as a tool to torture Qi Diaozhe deeply.
In other words, her superficial attitude seems to have severed ties with Qidiao Zheen.
But deep down, Zhang Ling still felt a lot of dissatisfaction with Qi Diaozhe.
Especially not willing to wait for Qi Diaozhe for so many years.
He kicked Qi Diaozhe away from him so cheaply.
No matter how you think about it, you are too kind to Qi Diaozhe.
So Zhang Ling subconsciously had the idea of using Li Xiang to torture Qi Diaozhe.
Perhaps the person who really understands Zhang Ling is Qi Diaozhe.
Therefore, even after being ruthlessly rejected by Zhang Ling, Qi Diaozhe was still willing to persevere in his pursuit.
That's all because Qi Diaozhe knew that Zhang Lingruo had completely vented the grievances she had accumulated in her heart for many years.
I will definitely choose to get back together with him naturally.
At that time, you will have achieved your goal in a true sense.
In the final analysis.
For Zhang Ling, maybe it means the deeper the love.
The hatred generated becomes deeper.
It can also be said that Zhang Ling did not let go of Qi Diaozhe in a real sense.
He also let himself go.
This is equivalent to completely treating the past between her and Qi Diaozhe as a past that cannot be returned to.
right!
Zhang Ling did sometimes fantasize about forgiving Qi Diaozhe.
Then he renewed his relationship with the reformed Qi Diaozhe.
Although such an idea would make her find it ridiculous most of the time when she is calm!
After all, it was true love.
It’s not just a matter of saying “let go” that means letting go easily in a real sense.
What a coincidence!
The relationship between her and Li Xiang is similar to that of Zhou Yu.
One is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer, which creates a natural tacit understanding.
That's why Zhang Ling was able to use Li Xiang to achieve her purpose of punishing Qi Diaozhe.
It’s just that Zhang Ling has a conscience.
The more times Li Xiang is used.
Zhang Ling's conscience made her feel more guilty towards Li Xiang.
As a result, he instinctively wanted to push Li Xiang away.
But something happened that caught Zhang Ling off guard.
That is, Li Xiang's strong love for her is true.
It's also because of this sincere love.
Therefore, the kind-hearted Zhang Ling was unwilling to hurt Li Xiang from the bottom of her heart.
I don't even want to let myself be like Qi Diaozhe.
In the end, he became a scumbag who played with emotions.
what to do?
Little did they know that from the very beginning she had thought that she would never take Qi Diaozhe lightly.
In the end, she unintentionally changed into a situation where she would never forgive herself.
Why do you say that?
Because on the surface it seemed that Zhang Ling was using Li Xiang to punish Qi Diaozhe.
But in fact, she felt extremely tortured inside.
On the one hand, her conscience would not allow her to continue hurting Li Xiang's feelings;
On the other hand, she successfully punished Qi Diaozhe with the help of Li Xiang.
But she felt refreshed and entertained by punishing Wanqi Diaozhe.
But it was far inferior to the loneliness and pain she caused.
That’s right!
You read that right indeed.
After punishing Qi Diaozhe, the emotions she felt were more of loneliness and pain.
Because every time she punishes Qi Diaozhe, she will relive the loneliness and pain of more than ten years.
How can this prevent her from being lonely and miserable?
That's why she came up with the idea of letting Qi Diaozhe go completely.
That's because Qi Diaozhe can only be completely let go.
Only then could Zhang Ling feel relieved and liberated in a real sense.
Only then could she have the opportunity to let Li Xiang completely enter her heart.
So it's not so much that I let Qi Diaozhe go.
It would be better to say that she was creating an opportunity to fully prepare to accept Li Xiang.
at this time.
Li thought he must have heard Zhang Ling's muttering clearly.
So I said with some intentionality:
"Zhang Ling, what were you talking about just now? The voice was too soft! I didn't hear it clearly."
Zhang Ling said with a bit of panic:
"Did I speak just now? No, no. I think you must have heard wrong. I didn't speak."
"oh!"
Li wanted to see Zhang Ling but deliberately concealed it and did not want to say anything.
Then I saw Zhang Ling standing at the door of the bedroom in her pajamas.
I was worried that she would catch a cold.
So he kindly urged her to go back as soon as possible.
Maybe the tone of voice was a little uncomfortable.
So he obviously felt that Zhang Ling was very angry and slammed the bedroom door hard.
Accompanied by the sound of the door slamming.
Li Xiang couldn't help but trembled all over his body.
Somewhat inexplicably talking to himself:
"Is Zhang Ling angry? Why! Alas, as expected, a woman's heart is agitated. This change of mood is too inexplicable."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Now.
Zhang Ling seemed to have the ability to detect Li Xiang's thoughts.
Li Xianggang was about to lie down on his back and fall asleep again.
unexpectedly!
The bedroom door that had just been closed was opened again.
Zhang Ling poked her head out and stared at him fiercely and asked:
"Hey, what were you talking about just now?"
In fact, Zhang Ling wanted to ask Li Xiang if he said "good night" to her just now?
Because she vaguely heard it the moment she closed the door.
Then I thought about how ashamed she had just been of violently closing the door.
I thought I would just make sure Li Xiang said "good night".
Then she took the initiative to apologize to Li Xiang for her rude behavior of slamming the door just now.
Li Xiang mistakenly thought that he had just been heard when he said that Zhang Ling was "inexplicable".
So I looked at Zhang Ling's face with some fear and said "Good night, good night".
He felt that it would be safest to take the initiative to say "good night" at this time.
On the one hand, women in love generally regard "good night" as an implicit expression of love.
He just accidentally forgot.
It should be made up as soon as it is mentioned.
This can also allow Zhang Ling to eliminate some of the anger in her heart.
On the other hand, it can be heard from Zhang Ling's uncertain tone just now.
Zhang Ling probably didn't hear clearly what he was saying to himself.
Taking the initiative to say "good night" also induced Zhang Ling to think that what he just said was "good night".
Zhang Ling was stunned for a moment after confirming that what Li wanted to say was "good night."
to be honest.
Sometimes there is a difference between wanting to do something and actually taking action to do it.
You may hesitate to take action due to laziness, shame, etc.
So much so that I finally decided to give up.
But Zhang Ling was worried that Li Xianghui would get the wrong idea because of her change in attitude.
Hesitant to apologize to Li Xiang.
When she thinks of her father's teachings to her since childhood.
In the end, her principles of life defeated her slight hesitation.
She mustered up the courage to say "I'm sorry".
But he didn't wait for Li Xiang to make any response.
It was as if she had done something wrong.
He immediately returned to the bedroom and closed the door.
What is particularly noteworthy is that Zhang Ling deliberately controlled the force when closing the door this time.
Pull on the door as gently as possible.
Li Xiang heard the words "I'm sorry" clearly.
But he was in a daze as if he didn't hear clearly what Zhang Ling said.
When the door slams.
Then he muttered to himself again with some confusion:
"I'm sorry! Why did Zhang Ling say sorry? I can't figure it out!"
Maybe Li Xiang was used to the sound of Chen Jian closing the door violently.
That’s why I didn’t feel inappropriate about Zhang Ling’s violent behavior of closing the door.
But Li wanted to recall Zhang Ling's shy look when she said "I'm sorry" just now.
The corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up in a graceful and happy arc.
I prayed silently in my heart that I could see Zhang Ling looking so lovely every day in the future.
Zhang Ling doesn’t have to keep this shy look for too long!
He is not greedy.
Just one moment is enough happiness.
too much.
On the contrary, he is afraid that he will feel bored due to aesthetic fatigue.
The next day.
Zhang Ling may be because of the environment.
I woke up when it started to get light.
Although she still felt very sleepy.
But I just couldn't fall asleep again.
I was a little bored looking at the chat history of the XX software on my phone.
I thought about Mysterious who always stayed up late every day just to be able to chat with her for a few words.
I don’t know why I didn’t reply to her message last night?
She may have thought of how Li Xiang had a cold last night.
So almost subconsciously, I sent a message asking if Mysterious was also sick?
Note that she clearly uses the word "also" in her language.
Because Li Xiang, as a senior engineer, uses a mobile phone with an automatic power-on setting.
It happened to be at this time.
His cell phone turned on.
He is always cautious and afraid of disturbing others.
I have always turned off the startup ringtone of my cell phone.
To his surprise, the familiar message notification tone suddenly rang.
Although separated by a bedroom door.
He also jumped from the sofa to the ground and stood up instantly because of this voice.
unexpectedly!
In panic, he knocked the water glass originally placed on the coffee table to the ground.
Zhang Ling was first surprised by the unfamiliar cell phone ringtone coming from the room.
Then I heard an unusual noise coming from the living room.
She immediately sat up from the bed and asked loudly:
"Li Xiang, is that you? Are you okay?"
Only then did Li Xiang realize that his reaction just now was a bit excessive.
Isn't it just the reminder ringtone of a mobile phone?
What could this mean?
It seems like it represents nothing.
Because in this era it is common for people to own two mobile phones.
Especially someone with status like Zhen Li Xiang.
Because there are too many work calls.
One mobile phone is obviously not enough.
There was absolutely no need for him to be so nervous.
It was a very normal thing.
When he showed his nervousness again, things immediately changed.
It seemed like he was using an extra cell phone just to do something shameful.
For example, Fei Ke, played by Jing Boran in the recent TV series "Rebirth 2024", is average.
Maybe Zhang Ling didn't wait for a long time to answer.
This made her think too much that something had really happened to Li Xiang.
So Zhang Ling didn't dare to hesitate too much and jumped out of bed immediately.
He rushed towards the bedroom door quickly.
When the door was opened suddenly, I could feel a cool breeze sweeping through my body.
Maybe Zhang Ling was nervous and Li thought.
Therefore, her body did not shiver under the cool breeze.
When he saw Li Xiang's figure, he asked with concern:
"Hey, Li Xiang, are you okay?"
Maybe Li wanted to prove that he was okay.
He tried his best to take two steps towards the corner of the coffee table as naturally as possible.
Then he leaned over and picked up the remote control on the coffee table to turn on the lights in the living room.
Then he looked at Zhang Ling with a bit of a silly smile, waved his hand and said:
"Look! It's okay, it's okay, I'm okay."
"What happened just now?"
I saw Li Xiang say "oh" first.
Then he raised his hand and pointed at the water glass lying on the coffee table and explained:
"I was just about to go to the bathroom. I just knocked over the water glass on the coffee table without paying attention."
Zhang Ling also glanced at the water glass.
It was also basically confirmed that Li Xiangxiang was really fine.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Then her face showed obvious displeasure and asked:
"Since it's okay, then why didn't you answer me when I asked you just now? That's because you didn't want to!"
Li Xiang shook his head with a hint of bitterness in his smile and explained:
"No. Zhang Ling, don't get me wrong. I was just about to reply to you when I accidentally slipped on the water stains on the ground and fell."
Zhang Ling heard no other abnormal noise except for the sound of the water glass being knocked down.
So he looked at the water stains on the ground with obvious suspicion and asked:
"Yeah?"
Because she didn't see any traces of someone who slipped and fell from the water stains on the ground.
Li Xiang saw that Zhang Ling was suspicious of you, so he acted anxiously and said:
"Oh, no more. I can't hold it in anymore. I have to go to the bathroom first."
With that said, Li Xiang began to walk away towards the bathroom and continued:
"Zhang Ling, if you have anything to give me, please wait for me."
Even though Zhang Ling shouted "Wait a minute" commandingly.
And asked Li Xiang to explain the problem before leaving.
But Li Xiang seemed like he didn't hear it.
He rushed into the bathroom without looking back.
Time passed minute by minute.
Li Xiang's behavior made Zhang Ling very confused.
I rushed into the bathroom as if I had taken laxatives.
No matter how she thought about it, she felt that Li Xiang would definitely come out soon.
But Li Xiang's actual condition is like a very serious constipation patient.
Once you go in, it's like going to the execution ground and it's hard to get out.
As long as he doesn't mind the smell of the bathroom.
And it can sit on the toilet in the bathroom.
Li Xiang's behavior originally had no impact on her.
It's time to have breakfast.
She didn't want to run into trouble with Qi Diaozhe and Mr. Ma again in the early morning.
So I asked the hotel waiter to bring breakfast to the room.
When he saw the food delivery waiter pushing the dining cart, he showed a weird smile as soon as he entered the door.
Zhang Ling suddenly felt bad when she remembered that there were snot papers thrown by Li Xiang all around the sofa.
"Oops! Why did she forget to clean up first? The waiter misunderstood her this time."
Zhang Ling has always been unwilling to explain these trivial matters to strangers.
But today I felt the urge to explain.
However, she just opened her mouth to explain that Li Xiang just had a cold.
After hearing the explanation, the waiter said "I understand".
Zhang Ling felt that the waiter seemed to have a deeper misunderstanding.
Because the waiter seemed to have seen similar scenes too many times.
So he took the initiative to comfort Zhang Ling and said that everyone was an adult and there was no need to explain.
Zhang Ling shouted in her heart:
"Do you understand? It's clear that the misunderstanding is deeper!"
Then she regretted her explanation just now.
He even silently vowed in his heart that he would never make similar mistakes again.
The waiter quickly tidied up everything around the sofa and coffee table.
I placed the breakfast on the coffee table as requested and left.
Zhang Ling looked at the breakfast on the coffee table.
Another feeling of embarrassment welled up in her heart.
Wondering how to ask someone squatting in the bathroom to come out for breakfast?
This doesn’t seem to be a good word!
She thought for a moment and then shouted very fast:
"Hey, Li Xiang, I asked the hotel waiter to bring breakfast in. Do you want to eat it?"
Maybe the bad thing is that he speaks very fast.
As soon as she finished speaking, she realized that there was a big problem with what she said.
At first glance!
It was clear that Li Xiang was squatting in the bathroom to eat breakfast.
And Li Xiang seemed to be waiting at the door for her call.
As he walked out of the door, he asked with some doubts:
"Zhang Ling, what you just said is a bit hard to understand. I want to ask you, do you mean to ask me to come out for dinner?"
