After a hurried meeting, the time was almost up and Long Yixi rushed to the hotel again.
In the hotel, after He Xiaomei and Tai Qin took their lunch break, they sat on the balcony and chatted.
After seeing Long Yixi coming to the hotel, He Xiaomei didn't know why, but suddenly felt a sense of joy and satisfaction in her heart, as if his appearance made her heart instantly warm.
After Tai Qin and Long Yixi greeted each other, they looked at the time and it was almost time, so after saying hello to Long Yixi and He Xiaomei, they left the hotel.
After Tai Qin left, Long Yixi carried He Xiaomei into the living room. As soon as the two sat down on the sofa, Long Yixi's cell phone rang.
Long Yixi took out his cell phone and saw that it was Pei Jiale's call.
At this time, He Xiaomei's eyes also saw the display on the screen of Long Yixi's mobile phone.
"Go and answer the phone." He Xiaomei said to Long Yixi, then turned her eyes away from Long Yixi.
Long Yixi was sitting next to He Xiaomei at the moment, with no intention of hanging up the phone or leaving He Xiaomei's side.
Therefore, Long Yixi directly answered the phone.
"Yixi..." Pei Jiale's urgent voice came from the other end of the phone, "Where are you now?"
"What's the matter?" Long Yixi asked, not answering Pei Jiale at all.
"You went home and went to the company. Why didn't you tell me? Why didn't you call me?" Pei Jiale asked, feeling very anxious. He wanted to know Long Yixi's situation and hated himself for going shopping with his friends today.
I didn't stay at home or go to work in the company.
"My schedule is not yet ready to be reported to you." Long Yixi said directly, his tone was very tough and there was no gentleness at all.
"But, you should tell me when you come back..." Pei Jiale was so anxious that he almost cried, "Yixi, you don't need to report your itinerary to me, but you have to go home and go back to the company.
You should have told me."
"We haven't seen each other for so long. You know that I miss you very much. You should tell me before you go home." Pei Jiale's voice gradually changed, with a crying tone.
Long Yixi did not answer immediately. He looked sideways and glanced at He Xiaomei. He knew that He Xiaomei could hear the conversation between him and Pei Jiale.
After recovering his thoughts, Long Yixi said to the phone, "I will be on a business trip for a while recently. I will let you know when I go back next time."
Pei Jiale on the other end of the phone thought for a moment, then asked Long Yixi coquettishly, "Yixi, will your business trip take a long time?"
"No..." Long Yixi simply replied with two words, and then said, "That's it for now. I'll call you before I go back next time."
"Oh, okay, then... take care of yourself outside."
Hearing Pei Jiale's concern, Long Yixi didn't say anything and hung up the phone directly.
He Xiaomei kept sitting as before, feeling very uncomfortable at the moment.
It turned out that he was with her, and she was with him like this at this moment. This was an opportunity he obtained by lying on a business trip.
He Xiaomei suddenly felt that she was so pitiful that others were giving alms to her. Long Yixi was alone with him without telling his fiancée. Such uneasiness and concern in his heart, as well as that inexplicable feeling and taste, were really...
It was so uncomfortable that I couldn't breathe.
Long Yixi looked at He Xiaomei's side face and could guess at this moment what she was concerned about. After all, the relationship between him, her, and Pei Jiale was easy for all three of them to care about.
"Watch some TV." Long Yixi said, picked up the remote control, turned on the TV, and let He Xiaomei watch TV.
Afterwards, Long Yixi got up, went to the door to pick up the luggage bag he had brought with him, and walked to the bedroom.
The two of them walked awkwardly around the room, He Xiaomei in the living room and Long Yixi in the bedroom. The bedroom door was not closed.
After a long time passed, it was dinner time. Long Yixi came out of the bedroom, carried He Xiaomei to the bedroom to change clothes, and then carried her to the hotel restaurant for dinner.
Because she was in a bad mood, He Xiaomei ate very little and had no appetite at all.
Seeing her like this, Long Yixi tried not to think about the phone call in the afternoon, but asked He Xiaomei, "Is the food not to your liking? I'll take you to a nearby restaurant to eat."
In the past few days, the meals he and she had were all from the hotel. It was normal for her to be picky about food. After all, she had been a pampered little princess since she was a child. It was normal for her to be picky about food, so she took her out to eat.
He Xiaomei said nothing and continued to eat with her head down, but each time she took a small bite.
So what if we go out to eat? If we go out to eat, it can't change the fact that he is keeping Pei Jiale company with him without telling her?
Long Yixi waited for a long time but didn't hear He Xiaomei's answer. He felt helpless, but there was nothing he could do.
The meal didn't take long, but it was very quiet. When He Xiaomei put down her chopsticks, there was still more than half of the rice in the bowl, the soup was not drunk, and there were even more dishes left on the table.
"I'm done eating, you can continue eating." He Xiaomei said a word indifferently, then wiped her mouth and hands with a napkin, sat down and waited for Long Yixi.
Long Yixi looked at He Xiaomei opposite, and then at the rest of her food. He had no idea of continuing to eat.
Long Yixi put down his chopsticks and called the waiter to pay the bill. He also told the waiter to prepare some desserts and send them to the room.
After paying the bill, Long Yixi walked out of the restaurant with He Xiaomei in his arms, but did not go upstairs. Instead, he took the elevator to the parking lot.
"..." He Xiaomei was stunned, looked at Long Yixi, and asked him, "Where are you taking me?"
"Go and see the night view nearby." Long Yixi replied. She must be a little bored in the hotel these days, so he took her out to see it.
"You can also see the night view in the hotel." He Xiaomei said that she didn't want to go out now, she just wanted to go back to sleep. When she fell asleep, she wouldn't think so much and wouldn't care so much.
Long Yixi did not answer, but lowered his head and glared at the woman in his arms.
Did she do it on purpose? Is it fun to contradict yourself?
He Xiaomei looked at Long Yixi's angry look and said nothing. She was still a little afraid of what Long Yixi would do when he was angry.
Long Yixi carried He Xiaomei to the parking lot, walked to his car, opened the car door, and carried He Xiaomei in.
He Xiaomei sat in the passenger seat and watched Long Yixi fasten her seat belt without saying a word the whole time.
Long Yixi then went around to the other side, got in the car, started the car, and left the hotel parking lot.
Because it was a suburb, there were very few people outside the hotels. Long Yixi did not drive the car very far. He just drove to a rest pavilion some distance away from the hotel and stopped. (To be continued)
