The warmth from the man's palm was transmitted to her body through his clothes, making her feel as if her grabbed arm was being burned.
When he spoke, he deliberately lowered his head. Their faces were no more than ten centimeters apart, and his unique hormonal scent lingered on the tip of his nose.
His dark eyes stared at her, as if there were thousands of stars twinkling in them.
That look burned her. Ning Meng didn't dare to look directly at him anymore. Her heart was beating fast, she opened her mouth and said three words: "Why?"
The temperature in the air seemed to be a little higher, and ambiguity entangled the two of them.
Huo Beichen looked at her pretending to be calm, his eyelids drooped slightly, "I'm not used to it without you..."
Ning Meng's body froze, and she felt that these five words seemed to be a confession to her.
She glanced at him secretly and continued to ask: "Why aren't you used to it?"
Huo Beichen:......
His eyes darkened a bit, and seeing the girl's aggressive behavior, he slightly raised the corners of his lips and answered slowly: "Xiao Tiantian is very irritable."
Ning Meng:?
"It misses you."
Ning Meng:......
It took me a long time, is Xiao Tiantian not used to it?
Just say that Xiao Tiantian misses her, but you have to make it so ambiguous! Let her think...
Wait, what did she think? She didn't think that this cold-blooded and ruthless man wouldn't be used to it, right?
This thought made her stunned for a moment, and she felt a little uncomfortable.
"Um?"
The man spoke a word in a low voice, with a slight upward pitch at the end, as if something invisible was tugging at his heart.
Ning Meng came back to her senses and said in a panic: "I, let me think about it."
Huo Beichen did not discuss this topic anymore and took back his hand. He was holding his coat in one hand and the other hand was hanging by his side. His movements were casual and dignified.
He said calmly: "I will be on a business trip for three days tonight. The villa password has not changed, so Xiao Tiantian will entrust it to you."
Ning Meng nodded: "Oh, okay."
The man then turned around and walked towards the elevator entrance with his tall body.
He seemed to notice something, and suddenly turned his head to look... Ning Meng was so frightened that he slammed the door and closed it.
She leaned against the door, stood on tiptoes, opened the peephole and peeked out. She saw a man waiting for the elevator, with one hand casually inserted in his pocket. From the side, he had a deep silhouette.
"Ding" the elevator is coming.
Huo Beichen did not enter immediately, but instead turned his head to look in her direction, with complex emotions flashing through his dark eyes.
Before Ning Meng could tell what it was, the man withdrew his gaze, entered the elevator, and disappeared from sight.
Ning Meng stood there and didn't move for a long time.
She pressed on her beating heart.
I don't know why, but a sweet feeling came to my heart.
The hug when he came back from a business trip, and the breakfast he came over for that morning...
She probably didn't think much about it. After all, this man had been on business trips so many times before. Why did he entrust Xiao Tiantian to her this time?
Ning Meng went upstairs and threw herself on the bed.
She suddenly covered her face with the quilt and pressed the raised corners of her lips.
-
The next day, Ning Meng packed up some things and came to the villa area.
As soon as the door was opened, Xiao Tiantian rushed over. The crystal pendant hanging around her neck was swaying, and she was excitedly circling around Ning Meng.
Ning Meng went upstairs and put down her things.
Then he fed Xiao Tiantian and played with it for a while before leaving.
Today, Zhen Shanmei is going to join the show as an amateur, and she has to go over and keep an eye on her to prevent that silly Baitian from being offended again.
