She closed her eyes and took a deep breath, forbidding herself to falter even a little. A moment later, she slowly opened her eyes and said, “Let go of me before Ms. Yan sees.”
He was slightly stunned.
“Don’t worry, I didn’t come here for you, or rather, I wouldn’t have shown up at all if I had known you would be here.” She explained for herself very calmly and quietly, “I said I was here to do an interview for Grandpa.”
“Now, can you let go of me?”
Obviously all has been explained clearly, but, the chest feels so blocked. Xia Feiqing’s arm tightened, and in the end, he still released her.
Dropping his head, he glanced at her, “Wash your face before you come out.”
When he said that, without waiting for her to look back, he had turned around and sank his steps out.
Steps, heavy. The look, bleak.
While eating, Zhao Lanlan was trying very hard to suppress the vomiting feeling. She just took chopsticks for show and didn’t eat anything down.
“Here, Lanlan, eat more of this.” The old lady chucked a piece of braised pork ribs to her, “You can’t afford to lose any more weight, your own body is important.”
“Thanks Grandma.”
Zhao Lanlan let out a laugh.
“Grandma, you’re biased.” Yu Ningjiao was just like her own family, not polite at all, half serious, half joking, “You just give Lanlan dishes and don’t care about me.”
The old lady laughed straight and was about to give her a piece of ribs as well, but a gentle voice rang out.
“What do you want to eat? I’ll pinch it for you.”
Yu Ningjiao instantly spread her smile and pouted, “I also want to eat braised pork ribs.”
“Uh-huh.” Xia Feiqing immediately clamped and set aside into her bowl, adding, “It’s a bit hot, eat slowly.”
Zhao Lanlan never raised her head to look at the gentle expression on her face. For the first time, she knew that this man, also had such tender moments.
Oh, no! There was a time when he had been this gentle in front of outsiders. But … now she realized that it was all just a disguise!
The feeling of nausea, surged up again, and she blushed slightly, afraid that she wouldn’t be able to stay up, so she gently put down her chopsticks, “Grandparents, I’m done eating. You guys enjoy yourselves.”
“That’s a good meal? You’re clearly not moving your chopsticks here.” The old lady gave her a worried look.
The old man took a look at her, and then looked at the side of the grandson who was gently treating Yu Ningjiao, expected her to sit here will not feel good. Then he said: “Okay, if you can’t eat, just forget it. Go to one side of the side hall and wait for grandpa, I will come over for an interview after eating.”
“Okay, thanks Grandpa, I’m in no hurry.”
Zhao Lanlan smiled and got up as if nothing was wrong. However, the moment she turned around, the smile on her face could no longer be disguised.
It’s tough …
The old lady sighed as she looked at the waning figure. “Old master, you say, Lanlan shouldn’t be sick, right? From the last time I saw her, but she’s lost a lot of weight.”
Xia Feiqing didn’t respond and subconsciously looked at his grandson. He only saw that his eyes had been following that back, his eyes were obscure and unknown, he didn’t know what he was thinking.
“Feiqing? Feiqing!” Yu Ning Jiao called out twice before he came back to his senses, his eyes casting a cool look at her, “What are you doing?”
“I want to eat lentils, so pinch some for me. Okay?” Yu Ningjiao pleaded.
“Do it yourself and have plenty of food.” Xia Feiqing didn’t move, his attitude was so cold that it was a heaven and a hell compared to just now.
Yu Ningjiao was embarrassed and embarrassed.
And he ignored it.
That stupid woman, could she really be as sick as Grandma said? It was reasonable to say that even without the Zhao family as a support, her salary wouldn’t be enough to starve her thin like this.
After lunch, Yu Ningjiao answered a call from the company and had to go back to her unit. She pestered Xia Feiqing to accompany her, but Xia Feiqing impatiently refused.
He lazily lay down on the sofa, saying that he was sleepy and would sleep for a while before leaving. He said that he really closed his eyes and slept. Yu Ningjiao helpless, and did not dare to delay, only one person snapped and left.
The old lady served a few cups of tea and looked into the side room, whose door was closed and nothing could be seen.
She sent one of the cups to her grandson, and Xia Feiqing hurriedly got up from the sofa and took it. The old lady glanced at him, ”Why aren’t you leaving yet? Don’t you guys go to work at two in the afternoon? It’s just about the right time to go over now.”
Xia Feiqing said without much concern, “Anyway, the unit doesn’t have much to do today. It’s rare to come to your place, so just sit for a while.”
“Yes?” The old lady asked these two words in an ambiguous way. Laughing a little, she patted him, “Good. You rest, I’ll bring some tea to your grandfather and Lan Lan.”
“Good.”
Xia Feiqing held the tea, his eyes inexplicably followed the old lady’s figure as she drifted straight to the location of the side hall. The old lady pushed open the door, and he could also see the situation inside from his position in the hall.
The old man sat on the leather couch while she moved a small bench to sit in front of him.
Her back was facing the doorway, and as the old woman pushed her way in, she craned her head to look, so he was able to see her serene side.
Xia Feiqing was a bit annoyed. What was he doing staring at her like this? And … it is clear that he has to work in the afternoon, he not only does not go, but also sits here aimlessly.
In the middle of the chagrin, the cell phone rang at first. It was a call from Pei Yajun.
“Something?”
“About what time will you arrive at the unit this afternoon? The chairman of the Jian’an Group has made an appointment to talk to you at three o’clock in the afternoon about the planning and construction of the new site.”
Three points?
He raised his hand and glanced at the clock, saying succinctly, “Push it to four. I’ve got things on my hands right now.”
“Uh, okay.” Pei Yajun naturally didn’t ask much, and without saying anything else, Xia Feiqing hung up the phone.
This way, what could be going on? Yes, it must be that he was too sleepy, he had to get a good night’s sleep before going back to the flat.
Thinking this way, he immediately became much more candid. Directly to the sofa to lie down, fell asleep. However, when he closed his eyes, he couldn’t sleep. In his mind, all that tossed and turned was a certain slender figure.
Is it true what Grandma said, that she’s sick?
The more he thought about it, the more annoyed he became, he cursed lowly in annoyance and pulled a pillow to bury his face. So what if he was sick, what did it have to do with him?
On the sofa, tormented and torn, in the end, also really just slept. Recently, the sleep, really quite bad, even in the dream, are very insubstantial, the chest is always empty, as if a mouth is missing.
Occasionally, he woke up late at night and looked at the white ceiling, and he even drifted off into a trance, not knowing what year it was.
“Grandpa, thank you. Take a picture of you, and today’s interview is over.” The task was completed, and Zhao Lanlan was able to breathe a sigh of relief. The old man sat up straight, Zhao Lanlan took the camera and ‘clicked’ several times, not forgetting to praise the old man for being photogenic while shooting, making the old man happy for half a day.
“After this manuscript is done, you still have to come here more often in the future.” The old man couldn’t bear to part with her either.
Zhao Lanlan put everything away and nodded, “Good.”
“Grandpa also knows that your ‘yes’ ah, is all perfunctory.”
She had an embarrassed look on her face, but she still told the truth, “Fei Qing and Ms. Yan should be getting married soon, right? My frequent presence here might cause them trouble …”
She recalled Xia Feiqing’s words about wanting to be at peace with his new wife. If she came here again, she would be too insensitive. Today, it had already caused him to misunderstand.
The old master sighed long and hard, “You’re a good kid, it’s us Feiqing who didn’t have this blessing. It’s fine, since you’ve all separated and are not entangled with each other, it’s considered generous of you all.”
