"I quite like it..."
Murong Xiao tapped his knee lightly with his right hand, his cold gaze fixed ahead, his voice drawn out, as if he were savoring the meaning of his words.
The atmosphere inside the car grew even colder.
Xiang Jin felt a chill run down his spine.
Before I could even react, my hand suddenly went empty; the pink roses, just like the dress from last time, were thrown out the window.
Xiang Jin: "...Littering isn't a good idea..."
"parking!"
Su Ming was startled and quickly stepped on the brakes, pulling over to the side of the road for an emergency stop.
"Go ahead. If you can't bear to part with it, go and pick it up now." Murong Xiao's piercing eyes stared straight at Xiang Jin, as if to say, if you really dare to pick it up, you're doomed.
Xiang Jin quickly shook her head: "No, no."
"Go ahead, don't be shy. Aren't you going on a romantic date tomorrow?"
Xiang Jin: "...I, I'm not familiar with him."
Go to hell!
"What, does that mean you have to go just because you're familiar with someone?" Murong Xiao raised an eyebrow, his sharp expression becoming even more pronounced.
Xiang Jin: "..."
This person seems to have reading comprehension problems; is this how they understand it?
The two sat in the car, staring at each other.
Just as the atmosphere reached a stalemate, Su Ming suddenly farted.
Xiang Jin: "..."
Murong Xiao: "..."
Two pairs of dark eyes turned to Su Ming.
Su Ming: "..."
I'm afraid the air will suddenly become quiet.
After a very long time, Xiang Jin finally gave in, rubbing his stomach and sighing, "Murong Xiao, I'm hungry."
Murong Xiao: "..."
His sharp gaze suddenly softened, and the tension in the air instantly subsided. Murong Xiao was like a lion whose mane had been stroked, suddenly shedding all his fierceness.
"go home!"
"OK."
Su Ming quickly started the car and silently drove forward.
"What would you like to eat?" Murong Xiao took out his phone, ready to send the menu to Aunt Yang.
"Vegetable porridge..."
*
The car slowly drove into the Lakeside Villa.
Xiang Jin took the canna lily out for some fresh air, while Murong Xiao took off his suit jacket, rolled up his sleeves, and went into the kitchen.
During the meal, the familiar vegetable porridge was placed in front of Xiang Jin.
Xiang Jin buried her head in her drink, a soft smile playing on her lips, sweet as if she had eaten honey.
"What are you laughing at?"
"Nothing, just thought of a joke..."
"Don't let your mind wander while you're eating." Murong Xiao gently tapped the top of her head.
"oh……"
"Madam must be happy that she no longer has to drink tonic soup." Aunt Yang brought out a bowl of clear soup, which had no medicinal taste at all. "I learned this from an old friend. It's absolutely nourishing and will definitely taste good."
Xiang Jin carefully took a bite, and her fox-like eyes immediately lit up.
In no time at all, he finished the soup in the bowl.
Murong Xiao was very satisfied and reached out to rub her head.
After finishing her meal, Xiang Jin first took the dog for a walk in the park, and then went upstairs to wash up.
After washing up, I found Murong Xiao lying on the bed wearing a bathrobe.
Xiang Jin: "..."
This guy is so fast! I was only inside for half an hour, and he was already out and finished showering.
Upon seeing Xiang Jin, the man's eyes immediately turned deep: "Come here."
Xiang Jin hesitated and backed away, saying, "Um, my hair isn't dry yet. I'll go blow-dry it first."
She took the hairdryer to the washroom.
As she was blowing, a pair of broad, kind hands took the hairdryer from her and slowly began to blow-dry her hair.
She used to always blow-dry his hair; this was the first time he had blow-dried it for himself.
The movements weren't exactly practiced, but they weren't awkward either. They knew to start by blowing on the scalp, to adjust the warm air first, and to not stay in one place for too long, otherwise their scalp would hurt...
He lowered his eyes, as if he was completely absorbed in his hair.
His gentleness was so extreme that she couldn't help but fall for it and became addicted to it.
"No going on your date tomorrow, you hear me?"
He coldly rebuked, his lips tightening with icy anger: "If you dare to go, this is what will happen to you."
He cornered Xiang Jin against the wall step by step, gently reached out and grabbed her neck, twisting it with a snap.
Xiang Jin trembled twice, and her legs went weak.
Murong Xiao seized the opportunity to support her and pulled her into his arms, instantly filling his embrace with her soft and fragrant body.
"I never said I was going; you're just making up all sorts of nonsense."
Xiang Jin forced a smile and said, "Even if I were to go, it would have to wait until I'm single again. Don't worry, I don't have the habit of cheating on others."
"What did you say……"
His sharp eyes narrowed, and the dangerous aura drew even closer.
"Single? Let me tell you, you can forget about it for life!"
"No one can say stop until I say it's over, unless I'm dead!"
Even if he were to die, he wanted her to be with him.
He had only one ray of light, and he didn't want to leave it to anyone else; he only wanted to take it to hell.
Although I'll be reluctant to part with it...
Xiang Jin trembled even more violently, her long, curled eyelashes fluttering slightly: "I was just saying it casually..."
"You better remember this, you'd better keep these words to yourself. If I hear them again, I'll—" He applied a little force and slapped her hard on the buttocks.
"No, no, I can't say anymore..."
She was terrified of him.
Murong Xiao's eyes softened.
He shed his fierce demeanor and gently pulled her into his arms.
“Ah Jin…” he murmured softly.
