Chapter 99 Seawater
Xu Jiqing ignored her.
He walked straight to Su Xia and looked down at her. His eyes were as deep as the sea before a storm, with undercurrents surging underneath and not a single ripple on the surface.
Su Xia looked up and looked at him, her heart beating inexplicably faster.
He... is angry?
But Xu Jiqing didn't even frown, he just pressed his thin lips into a straight line, and his jaw line was extremely tense.
"Did you have fun?"
He asked, his voice quiet.
Su Xia opened her mouth.
Before she could say anything, the mixed-race male model next to her didn't understand the situation. He was full of the idea of seeking wealth and fame through risk. He bravely came over and put his arm in front of Su Xia, saying, "Sir, Miss Su is having her birthday today. She just came out to relax with her friends. There's no need to spoil the fun..."
Only then did Xu Jiqing raise his eyes.
His eyes were so cold that it was like he was looking at a dead object.
It swept across his healthy arms without a single scar, his beach shorts that were so low-waisted that their pubic bone was almost exposed, and finally fell back onto Su Xia's panicked face.
Xu Jiqing said in a deep voice, "Shameless thing."
He didn't have a subject in this sentence.
Su Xia's heart skipped a beat.
She instinctively felt that he was talking about her, and her ears and face were burning.
All the jealousy and anger for the beauty, all the unrealistic fantasies disappeared.
She was left with only fear, and more of a feeling of innocence and grievance. The champagne she had just drunk surged up her face, making it pale and looking extremely pitiful.
But Xu Jiqing's calm eyes were calm, showing no sympathy for her, let alone coming over to comfort her.
Next second.
He raised his gloved hand and waved it. The tall boy who had just been trying to protect Su Xia was now being dragged to the edge of the deck by the bodyguard, covering his mouth.
The person, who was over 1.8 meters tall, was thrown into the sea with a splash, causing a huge splash of water.
The yacht has not had time to go out to sea today. It is close to the private dock and can reach the shore by paddling back a few meters. There is no danger to life.
But everyone on the yacht was terrified and looked on in amazement.
Su Xia was the most frightened one, and her stomach began to ache.
There were so many people present, all of whom came to celebrate her birthday. The originally happy occasion was turned into this. She tried desperately to find a way out of the predicament, but Xu Jiqing blocked all the ways to resolve it in a decent way, leaving her mind blank.
She stood there, hesitant to speak.
"Feeling sorry for him?" Xu Jiqing lowered his eyes and looked at her.
Su Xia shook her head and instinctively shrank back.
Xu Jiqing stared at her for two seconds, then suddenly bent down and picked her up.
“…Xu Jiqing!”
She screamed, and because of the headfirst movement, blood rushed straight to her face. She struggled and hit his back, "What are you doing? Put me down!"
The man didn't move, held her waist with one hand, and strode towards the shore until he returned to the car.
The pure black Rolls-Royce Phantom had the partition behind the driver's seat already lowered.
Xu Jiqing opened the car door, stuffed Su Xia into the seat, got in, and locked the door, all in one go.
Xu Jiqing is a madman and a control freak.
He had no sense of shame at all, didn't care about her face, and even less about his own reputation.
He didn't treat her like a lover, but rather like a kitten he raised. He had the final say in every aspect of her life, including where she ate, drank water, went, and what she wore.
To him, sneaking out through the window to see the scenery, acting coquettishly under someone's hands, or even being touched by someone, all seemed like unforgivable betrayal.
She must pay a price so that she can continue to enjoy her wealth and glory with peace of mind.
She liked the fun on the yacht, so Xu Jiqing accompanied her.
When Su Xia woke up the next day, she found herself drifting on some Pacific island.
A very soft bed, a yacht that is ten times more magnificent than the one I had yesterday for my birthday, with an outdoor swimming pool and a huge jacuzzi, everything is top-of-the-line and sparkling.
But in this vast world, apart from the waves swaying beneath her, there was only her expressionless husband.
The lesson that time was too profound.
From then on, Su Xia behaved herself and never got involved in such romantic affairs again.
The only time she had evil intentions was the year after Xu Jiqing's death.
That year she bought a new house in Nanhai, far away from Jiangcheng.
The terrace is bright and elegant, and was planted with Endless Summer flowers in advance according to her preferences. The eyes are filled with beautiful pink and purple gradients, and the flowers bloom gently and brightly.
She could see the sea by opening the curtains, and the moist sea breeze blew into the master bedroom, as if protecting her to have a good sleep.
Su Xia had been taking medicine for a long time at that time.
I have completely forgotten many things and can't remember many things. I am very happy when someone is with me, but when I am alone, I sometimes lose my memory and when I come to my senses, my face is covered with tears.
But my nature and preferences haven't changed——
She still doesn't like contact with strangers of the opposite sex.
Why did you call Mrs. Lin and invite her to a party at the new mansion?
Why on her birthday did she invite so many mixed-race models to go to the bay, open champagne, dance in circles all night long, and even stare at a blue-eyed young man in a trance?
Su Xia couldn't figure it out at the time, she was just following her instinct and moving forward.
She was even annoyed by Xu Jiqing appearing in her dreams more and more frequently, and hoped every day that he would stop coming so that she could have a good sleep.
Reborn.
Seventeen-year-old Su Xia vaguely understood two things for the first time:
For someone like Xu Jiqing, he has never been loved. No one taught him what love, such an illusory thing, looks like, how to ask for it, and how to give it.
Not only her, maybe even Xu Jiqing himself didn't know that he was really jealous at that time.
And the thoughts behind her instinct also emerged——
Perhaps she had never thought of letting Xu Jiqing leave.
That kind of thinking is childish, even a bit tricky:
It's so lonely in this world with only her.
If I make Xu Jiqing angry, will he come back?
Will he suddenly appear in the crowd, walk towards her, carry her on his shoulders with a cold face, and let her hit him?
She wasn't afraid at all now.
…She missed him.
If she said so.
Can Xu Jiqing just stay and never leave?
Those three long years.
In her subconscious, deeper than her dreams, perhaps she had been thinking of him secretly.
-
Su Xia was lost in thought for quite a while this time. The cup of strawberry latte was already empty, but the straw was still stuck to her lips.
Xu Jiaojiao noticed it and turned her head to ask, "What are you thinking about, sister?"
The little girl's clear voice brought her back to reality.
Su Xia put down the coffee cup and took a deep breath. She subconsciously pinched her thigh with the tip of her fingernails. Only when she felt the sharp pain did she exhale from her chest with relief.
She shook her head and smiled at Xu Jiaojiao, "...What time does your brother finish? Then you guys go home for dinner together?"
"Twelve o'clock."
Xu Jiaojiao answered obediently, "Brother has students at one o'clock in the afternoon. It's too far to go home. Let's eat outside."
Su Xia glanced at the time on her phone and it was almost time.
She desperately wanted to do something to pull herself out of her swirling thoughts. "I'm so hungry now. Jiaojiao, do you want to stay with me? When my brother finishes class, you can call him and ask him to come over."
