The fingertips touched her own lips, as if there was still his breath there, making her heart beat unbearably.
In my head, what a mess!
She can’t think about it anymore!
Zoey, turned around and embraced herself and walked home.
Before you can take the key and open the door, the door is suddenly pulled open from the inside.
Nabi Yan is standing in the doorway, her eyes are staring straight at Zoey, but her soft eyes are clearly accusatory and unmoving questioning.
As if caught red-handed in the act, Zoey was too scared to look at Nabi in the face of her.
“Zoey , who just brought you back?” She asked, her voice still soft.
“Nabi, I …” Zoey tried to explain something, but didn’t know where to start.
Nabi Yan took the words over with some poignancy, “It’s Jerry, isn’t it? I know his car.”
Nabi Yan’s eyes burned on Zoey’s lips, and Zoey’s heart was shocked, could she see something?
“Zoey , it was me who fell in love with him first. You and your brother, can’t both do this to me …,” Nabi Yan said, the bottom of her eyes already welled up with tears. The look was so pitiful that people couldn’t bear it in their hearts.
Zoey didn’t know what to say for a moment.
Nabi Yan tightly grabbed Zoey’s hand, like grabbing a lifeline, some aggression and sadness under her eyes: “Zoey , you can’t bully me like your brother …”
Nabi Yan’s hands were incredibly cold, as if they weren’t warm. zoey pursed his lips and looked at her, “Nabi, listen to me, there’s really nothing between me and him!”
“Really? You’re not lying to me?” Nabi Yan half-heartedly pursued the question.
“Really.” Zoey nodded, her voice extremely soft, “We just happen to have some social engagements at work, and he’s my boss, so he was kind enough to give me a ride.”
“Is that what it looks like?” Hearing her explanation, Nabi Yan’s mood seemed to improve a bit. A few soft smiles spilled out of her face, and she held Zoey’s hand, loosening it a bit before saying, “It’s great that you’re not together. Zoey , the reason why I’m so excited is not only because I love Jerry, I’m also worried about you … ”
“Worried about me?” Zoey was somewhat puzzled.
“Hmm.” Nabi Yan nodded her head. Her clear pupils looked sincerely at Zoey , “You know I was with Jerry the whole time that night. I could see that she truly loved me.”
The first time I saw her, I was so happy to see her.
Nabi Yan’s words, but continued: “That night, he told me himself, Chuck’s matter he has been haunted, but also, he also cynical I married Owen , so he hates you, also blame your brother, he simply can not be with you. If he did choose to be with you, it must be for revenge, and deliberately close to you. zoey , you are a good girl, although I love Jerry, but also do not want to see you hurt!”
Nabi Yan’s words made Zoey’s face pale.
Her body swayed and she stared blankly at Nabi, “Did he say all these things … to you himself?”
“I don’t have to lie to you.” Nabi Yan looked at Zoey’s big hit, a hint of satisfaction crossed her heart, in order to enhance the persuasion, she laid down a fierce, “If you don’t believe me, you can call and ask Jerry. but if you ask him, he will be angry that I told you all this … ”
She, with a difficult look on her face. She got a good idea of Zoey’s nature, her inner goodness, and she definitely couldn’t bear to see people struggling for her.
So …
Sure enough, Zoey just shook her head in bewilderment, “Don’t worry, I’m not going to ask him. It doesn’t matter what he says. Just like you said, we can’t be together. I know it very well in my heart, so I won’t fall for his bait …”
Zoey laughed bitterly. I’m afraid even I can’t convince myself!
As long as he speaks, I’m afraid, even if she knows that the front is a broken-arm cliff, she will jump down without rebellion.
Suddenly feeling weak, Zoey didn’t want to say any more, “I’m going upstairs, it’s late, you should go to bed early too.”
Zoey turned slightly sideways, avoiding Nabi Yan to go upstairs. Thinking of something, he turned back, “By the way, I will persuade my brother about you and my brother …. Don’t worry, he will change his mind.”
Nabi Yan’s eyes lit up, “Thank you, Zoey!”
“No need.” Zoey shook her head and went upstairs.
Before I could open the children’s room, I heard Nini come running out with a leap of faith.
“Zoey! yelled.
“Shhh … why are you guys still up?” Zoey quickly than a quiet gesture, this is already 0 o’clock, how come the children are still so energetic?
Nini stepped on the floor with her bare feet, her thin arms around Zoey’s neck, her moon-like eyes narrowed, giggling, “KK was just peeking through the telescope in the room and saw Zoey being sent back by Uncle!
Zoey was shocked to think that Nabi was still downstairs, and that Nini’s voice was so crisp and sharp that she must have heard it clearly.
Fearing that the little devil would say something else, he glanced downstairs and hurriedly carried Nini back to her room.
After putting Nini on the big bed, KK got up from the blanket with a bolt.
“Zoey , the uncle who gave you a ride is your boss, right?”
“Yes.” Zoey answered honestly. Both children’s eyes were suddenly crystal clear, like two little wild wolves.
In response to the two children’s intense gossip, Zoey’s forehead was sweating, so she grabbed one of them with one hand and deliberately put on a stern face, “What? You’re not sleeping at this time of night, but you’re peeking, aren’t you afraid Zoey will get angry?”
“Well, I’m not afraid.” Nini smiled and shook her head, “Zoey is the best mommy in the whole world, so she won’t be angry with us. kk, am I right?”
KK gave her sister a white look. A horse’s ass! But, Nini is telling the truth!
So, nod decisively.
Zoey was amused by the two children. He was so relieved that he pulled back the covers and tucked the two kids in.
KK suddenly spoke up and asked, “Zoey , are you in a relationship with an older man?”
The little one looked at Zoey seriously with big eyes.
Zoey’s hand paused for a moment before she tapped her finger on KK’s head, “Nonsense!”
“See, told you asking that question was going to get you a chestnut popper! Stupid KK.” said Nini, gleefully talking out of the wind from the sidelines.
KK is not afraid, but on the contrary, burst out a more powerful words, shocked Zoey almost to silly in that. 兴南兴南风… “Zoey , that uncle, wouldn’t be me and Nini’s old man, right?”
“You … listen to who gives you nonsense!” Zoey is not good at lying in front of her children, and speaks with no bottom, “Good KK, don’t believe what others say. 他是Zoey 的老板,怎么可能会是你老爹? If he was really your daddy, how could Zoey not tell you. Don’t think about it, sleep well.”
The more Zoey talks, the more anxious she gets and the more incoherent she becomes.
“Yeah?” KK and Nini looked at each other and asked back in unison. Obviously not convinced.
Zoey was almost forced to tell the truth by the pair of children, but in the end, they did not. Only one person a burst of chestnuts, deliberately sunken face, “Yes, all good to me to sleep, no more nonsense!”
Zoey tucked the kids in before heading out. When she reached the door, she heard KK’s brittle voice, “Zoey, uncle kissed your lipstick all over the place. The teacher said that kissing will give birth to a baby.”
Oh my God, Zoey’s forehead was in a cold sweat. What were the teachers teaching in school? Why are all these kids so precocious?
Wait! KK said lipstick?
Zoey walked quickly into her bedroom and approached the dressing mirror.
Fruity …
The color on the lips was spent. And with red and swollen lips, those who pay attention can tell at a glance what has just happened.
Just now Nabi also found out? No wonder, she kept staring at her lips …
Zoey leaned herself against the glazed table in chagrin and washed her face with water, only to look a little better.
Put the water on, took a shower, and tiredly threw myself into the big bed. Turned to the side and took the phone and dialed a string of numbers …
At this time, he should not be asleep yet, right?
…
“Hello.” In the darkness of the night, the voice on the other end was a little low.
“Didn’t make any noise, did you?”
“Home?” Ingram’s voice, not much spirit.
“Hmm. That … thing just happened, sorry.” She rolled over and buried herself in the pillow.
“Hmm? Apologizing for ditching me and kissing another man instead?” Ingram sounded sour and generous, “Forget it, it’s something you …”
“That’s not what I’m talking about.” Zoey was so embarrassed by what he was saying. What happened tonight was also really a bit ridiculous. “I was drunk, that’s why, and you … well … you don’t mind, do you?”
Ingram sort of took her words at face value. The company’s main business is to provide a wide range of products and services to its customers. How to say, that is also the young master’s first kiss, you look after it.”
“First kiss?” Zoey gripped the phone and let out a ‘pfft’ laugh. If that was a first kiss, then what was that kiss they had at the dinner last time? “Who doesn’t know Ingram’s reputation? Besides, we’re even at best!”
Hearing Zoey’s laugh, Sea Gu seemed to be in a better mood. The words are no longer as breathless as they were just now, “Get even? Last time I kissed you, you bit my tongue, and this time, I’m cooperating with you! Can this be even?”
“Who told you not to bite? I gave you a chance and you didn’t cherish it, so you can’t blame me!” Zoey justified.
“Okay, next time you’re absolutely welcome!” Sea Gu answered without thinking.
Next time?
Zoey could not bite her tongue off. How could two people talk about this kind of ambiguous and awkward topic for no good reason?
And, she started it!
All of a sudden, she didn’t know how to answer the question.
The phone call, for a minute, fell into an inexplicable awkwardness, only to hear each other’s breathing. Just when she didn’t know what to do and was about to hang up, Sea Gu suddenly snorted with laughter over there, “Chit, no good. I’m so upset that I can’t answer the question? Come on, I’m just kidding, I don’t want to be forced by you again.” I don’t want to be forced by you again.
Zoey laughed out loud, “Poorer than poor, who is poorer than you? It’s getting late, I have to go to bed. You also go to bed early, you drank so much at night.”
“Roger that! Hang up.”
“Well, good night.”
The two men disconnected the call.
Tonight, Sea Gu had a good night’s sleep.
It’s amazing how pleasant it is to have someone whispering to you good night.
