Chapter 307 Mr. Xi, Don’t Misunderstand Me
She lowered her head and nervously picked at her sleeves.
"Mr. Xi, why are you here?"
Xi Jiu was silent for two seconds and said, "I miss you."
Ruan Qi's little paws that were digging into her sleeves trembled.
She couldn't believe that the usually taciturn man would say such blunt words, and looked up in surprise.
Under the dim light, Xi Jiu stared at her with his dark eyes, and there was a deep affection in his eyes that could make people sink into it.
The little girl felt numb all over when he looked at her, and she looked away in panic.
"Mr. Xi, you..."
Ding Dong!
The cell phone suddenly rang.
Ruan Qi, who was so embarrassed that she didn't know what to do, quickly turned on her cell phone.
[Feng Qin: Ms. Ruan, do I need to take one pill every night before bed?]
Xi Jiu, who had excellent eyesight, saw Feng Qin's name and his eyes darkened.
Ruan Qi replied with a "hmm" to Feng Qin, then turned off her phone and secretly glanced at the corner of the man's clothes next to her.
Today, Xi Jiu wore dark trousers and a dark blue V-neck sweater. He wore a long black wool coat, giving off an aura of coldness, sternness, and nobility.
The little girl blushed, she checked the time and asked softly, "Mr. Xi, have you finished your meal?"
Xi Jiu paused, then nodded, "I ate it."
Ruan Qi: "What are you eating?"
"..." Xi Jiu coughed, "The set meal on the plane."
Just as he finished speaking, Ruan Qi's phone rang again.
She opened WeChat.
[Xiao Mumu: Miss Ruan, the boss was busy flying to see you and didn't have time to eat.]
Xi Jiu, who has good eyesight: "..."
He looked away feeling a little guilty.
The girl turned off her phone, raised her head and looked at him angrily, "Mr. Xi, how could you lie to me?"
After saying that, without waiting for the man to reply, she stuck her little butt out and climbed into the driver's seat.
Xi Jiu quickly supported her.
"what are you up to?"
"I'll take you out to eat." Ruan Qi climbed to the driver's seat smoothly and wanted to push the gear lever.
Xi Jiu recalled the little girl's godlike driving skills, his face changed slightly, and he quickly grabbed her little paw.
Little girl: “?”
The man coughed and said, "Let me drive."
Ruan Qi had no objection to who drove, she nodded and climbed obediently into the passenger seat.
Xi Jiu pushed open the car door and got into the driver's seat. The black business car drove slowly.
…
Half an hour later, the car stopped in front of a restaurant.
Ruan Qi put on a mask, looked around through the car window, and after making sure there were no paparazzi, she put her coat on her head, opened the door and got out of the car.
Xi Jiu immediately held her in his arms and quickly walked into the newly reserved box.
The steaming hot food was served, dispelling the chill of early winter.
Xi Jiu opened the hot walnut juice, poured it into a cup and pushed it in front of the little girl.
The little girl narrowed her eyes and smiled sweetly at him.
The man's cold eyes became gentle, and he used a serving chopstick to help her pick up her favorite chicken wings.
"Eat it."
The little girl said "hmm" obediently, then picked up a piece of bamboo shoot and put it in his bowl.
Xi Jiu looked at the braised bamboo shoots in the bowl and was stunned for a moment.
"You..." His throat was a little dry, "How do you know I like to eat bamboo shoots?"
Ruan Qi: "The last time I ate at your house, Butler Gong placed the braised bamboo shoots closest to you. And I noticed that you ate these bamboo shoots the most, Mr. Xi~"
The little girl's smile was like the warm sunshine in winter, and her beautiful peach blossom eyes were filled with the most straightforward concern.
It was like a warm little sun, crashing into the man's heart and dispelling all the darkness.
Xi Jiu's heart felt hot.
The chopsticks in his hand fell to the table with a clang.
The little girl sitting next to him was pulled into his arms.
Ruan Qi was instantly enveloped by the cold pine scent on the man.
She was like a frightened little rabbit, her peach blossom eyes suddenly widened, and she wanted to push away reflexively.
"Ruan Qi,"
Xi Jiu's voice, a little hoarse, rang beside his ear, "Let me hold you for a minute, just one minute."
The little girl's pushing suddenly stopped.
She bit her lip hesitantly and slowly lowered her hand.
The box was extremely quiet.
Ruan Qi's ears were filled with Xi Jiu's breathing and strong heartbeat.
The man's heartbeat was so fast that it hit her eardrum again and again, making her feel confused.
A minute is short yet long.
By the time Xi Jiu let Ruan Qi go, the little girl's face had turned as red as a monkey's butt.
There was an intoxicating tenderness in the man's eyes.
He ruffled her hair and said in a deep voice: "Thank you for not pushing me away."
“…” The little girl’s face turned even redder.
She nervously scratched her sleeves and stammered angrily, "Eat, eat!"
A doting and joyful low laugh slowly flowed out from Xi Jiu's thin lips.
…
Maybe the hug just now broke Ruan Qi's limit. She didn't say a word on the way back.
Xi Jiu drove while keeping an eye on her.
The little girl seemed to be thinking about something, her pretty face sometimes confused and sometimes lost.
Worry flashed across Xi Jiu's eyes.
Did I scare her just now?
Or is it that she can't accept her own hug?
When Xi Jiu thought of the latter possibility, his heart sank.
The anxiety and panic that he had felt when he saw the scandal between the little girl and Feng Qin resurfaced.
He tightened his grip on the steering wheel and calmly suppressed the dark light in his eyes.
In this awkward atmosphere, we arrived at the hotel.
Xi Jiu stopped the car and turned to look at the little girl who was still distracted.
He stared at her for a while, and finally sighed helplessly, stretched out his big hand and rubbed her head twice.
Ruan Qi raised her head blankly.
"Xiao Qi, we're at the hotel." Xi Jiu said.
The little girl looked at the familiar scenery around her and said "Oh" in a daze.
She scratched her hair and said, "Mr. Xi... then I'm leaving?"
Xi Jiu uttered a deep "hmm," then turned around and took out a backpack from the carpet in the back seat of the car.
"There are snacks in there," he handed her the bag, "all freshly made by the chef at home."
Ruan Qi held the bag, looking a little dazed.
"It's getting late. You should go back and get some rest." Xi Jiu pressed the car lock button, his cold eyes gentle. "Tell me when you get back to your room."
The little girl seemed a little distracted.
She nodded slowly, put on a mask, and got out of the car with her bag.
Suddenly, she seemed to have made a decision and turned around abruptly.
"Mr. Xi!" the little girl called out.
She looked at the man in the car nervously and stammered, "Today, the online rumors are fake. Mr. Feng and I have only met twice. We have no relationship at all. Don't misunderstand!"
After saying that, she ran away with her backpack in her arms like a frightened little rabbit.
Xi Jiu stared at her fleeing back in a daze.
After a long time, he slowly exhaled, leaned over the steering wheel, and a happy and low laugh flowed from his thin lips.
