Chapter 172 He said that Zhongjian was what his father promised him
Xie Siyan's slender fingers tugged at his collar in annoyance, revealing a red mark on his collarbone.
Mu Jia's gaze subconsciously stopped at that spot of skin.
He might be a little allergic to alcohol.
The next second, he looked down at Mu Jia, who was trapped in his chest, with an uncertain look in his eyes: "Aren't you the one chasing me?"
Mu Jia was choked by his words and was speechless for a moment.
Everything that happened in the past few days - emails, ambiguous teaching videos, vague physical contact, and the so-called "learning guidance" did make her misunderstand. Mu Jia felt that she had been confused by his logic.
She raised her head. Wasn't it him who taught her to chase him?
She thought this was a tacit agreement and wanted to reconcile, so now it seems that there is still a possibility of not catching up?
When Mu Jia thought of this, his heartstrings tightened.
"I..." She forced herself to look away from his skin, and the words "go to the hospital if you have allergies" were choked in her throat.
Xie Siyan's breath was hot against her ears.
The scent of cedar enveloped her.
Mu Jia was a little breathless under his pressure, her head was dizzy, and she simply gave up thinking. She reached out and pushed his hard chest, "Well, I need to rest."
Having said that, he turned around and tried to go inside.
Xie Siyan suddenly reached out and grabbed her wrist.
The force was neither light nor heavy, but it made her stop in her tracks. His slender fingers touched her lips unruly, rubbing them lightly with his fingertips. He lowered his voice and said meaningfully, "...Have you learned it?"
Mu Jia's face flushed.
In an instant, even the tips of his ears were dyed crimson.
She has never been the type to let go in bed, and in the past, the two of them used the most conservative positions. But it was obvious that Xie Siyan was not satisfied with this, and this time he was determined to make her try to actively please him.
Mu Jia still felt resistant to this, her heart skipping a beat, fearing that he would keep her hanging and ask her to demonstrate her teaching results, and she really couldn't come.
She looked away, raised her hand and patted his face, "Be good, I'm going back."
"You'd better... I'll call you a car."
The man before him, who usually looked aloof and self-possessed, had become restless after getting drunk, especially his restless hands...
He is also an ordinary man.
This breed of men...
It's essentially the same.
Mu Jia sighed helplessly, raised his hand and patted his face gently, as if comforting a large dog: "Be good, I want to rest."
There was a doting in his voice that he himself didn't even notice.
"Shall I call you a car? The sports car won't be leaving today, okay?"
This was the first time Mu Jia saw Xie Siyan acting crazy while drunk.
Xie Siyan frowned in dissatisfaction when he heard this, and tightened his arms, but his thoughts were indeed on the matter of "helping to call a taxi". He was silent for a while, and Mu Jia had already taken out his mobile phone to call a taxi for him.
——
Friday evening.
At dusk, Xie Siyan returned to the Xie family's old house for a rare visit.
In the past two years, after Xie Ling's divorce, due to her undisclosed relationship with Chen Fu Ji, she returned to the old house less and less frequently.
As Xie's father grew older, he saw that Xie Siyan had firmly controlled China Construction Group. Even though he was still reluctant, he had to gradually give up power.
The once attentive mistress gradually became quiet when she saw that she could not get any benefits. She often closed the door to visitors, but Xie's father came home more often.
Therefore, when Xie Siyan entered the room, he saw at a glance that in the living room, Xie's father was sitting at the same table with Cheng Yu for the first time. The two of them were sitting opposite each other, and Xie's father was sipping tea slowly.
The housekeeper was waiting nearby, explaining things, and the scene actually seemed to be a peaceful time.
"Are you back?"
Cheng Yu was the first to notice people.
He put down the teacup, and the jade bracelet on his wrist made a crisp sound.
The bracelet was in good condition. It was the token of love that Xie's father had given her. Xie Siyan glanced at it indifferently, thinking to himself that his mother actually took out this antique and put it on. Was she really planning to continue living with the old man?
Xie's father was clearly unaware of his son's thoughts. He looked up at him with a complicated expression and spoke in a parental tone, "I heard you've been chasing after an opera singer lately?"
There was obvious disapproval in his tone.
But apparently, he was behind in information.
This is the disadvantage of not being in power for a long time. Such a big and sensational thing can be known by watching the news, but no one around him told him.
In the past, if Xie Siyan had any negative news, Xie's father's mistress would immediately jump up and down and whisper in his ears.
Xie Siyan slowly unbuttoned his suit, his eyes shifting back and forth between his parents.
On the coffee table was Cheng Yu's favorite almond cake, and next to Xie's father was her usual tea set - the tacit understanding revealed in these subtle details made them more like a couple than their marriage of the past twenty years.
He sat down next to her without denying it, and replied nonchalantly, "Just playing around."
After sitting down, he caught a glimpse of his mother's hesitant expression out of the corner of his eye.
Of course Cheng Yu knew the truth.
It's not just about the little star Chi Wu, but also about something deeper. If she wants to find out, it's not impossible.
But she didn't know why, she didn't want to ask this time, as if she was afraid of knowing the truth, or as if she just wanted to save trouble.
It’s also good to pretend not to know some things.
The teacup in my hand gradually lost its temperature.
Cheng Yu sighed, feeling that he might have completely given up the idea of controlling Xie Siyan - in the past two years, he had made a fuss, forced him, and even lowered his standards to choose Shen Xingchu, who had a slightly inferior family background but was young and beautiful, seven or eight years younger than him and a college student... But what was the result?
The engagement party has been held.
After returning to China Construction, within a few months, he not only unilaterally cancelled his engagement with Shen Xingchu, but now he has joined forces with the second branch of the Shen family to force Shen Xingchu and her daughter to retreat step by step.
Cheng Yu smiled bitterly, and the tea reflected the fine lines at the corners of her eyes.
Xie Siyan grew up in this broken family. He witnessed how his father's concubine acted arrogantly and watched his mother cry alone late at night.
He knew what kind of family he lived in.
Sure enough, the son cannot empathize with his mother.
Seeing her husband trying to be assertive and to gain self-respect in front of their son, she knew it was useless for him to ask, so she said directly and unhappily, "Don't ask."
Father Xie put down his teacup and looked at her deeply. He was obviously a little surprised by Cheng Yu's reaction. His eyes stayed on his wife Cheng Yu's face for a long time, as if he was puzzled.
In the past, weren’t you the one who had the highest requirements for Si Yan’s marriage partner?
Xie Siyan sensed the undercurrent between the two of them, and without making a sound, he spoke directly, "Father, I met someone during a social event these past two days. He said that Zhongjian was something you promised him..."
One sentence.
It succeeded in making both of them turn their heads instantly, their gazes fixed on him at the same time.
