Chapter 100: Old couple?
As Nie Yao asked this, she turned around to look, and unexpectedly bumped into Li Jinxing's arms.
"You—" Nie Yao finally managed to steady the glass in her hand, carefully placing it aside. She rubbed the tip of her nose that was hurt from the collision and asked, "How come you walk without making any sound?"
Li Jinxing chuckled softly, lowered his head to look at her cute complaining face, and whispered in her ear: "Just now you said it was not too late to regret, but there will be no chance to regret it in the future..."
Nie Yao heard his incoherent words, put down her hand that was covering her nose, raised her head and looked at him with confusion: "What are you talking about? Didn't I just say that I never regret my choice!"
Li Jinxing stretched out his fingers and tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, his movements intimate and natural.
Nie Yao's body stiffened for a moment. Just as she was about to say something, he smiled faintly and said, "Nothing. I've already thrown away the trash for you..."
His smile was somewhat meaningful. After saying this, he turned around and left the kitchen, leaving Nie Yao confused.
Why was she confused about what he meant by that sentence just now?
"Li Jinxing, what exactly did you say just now..." Nie Yao chased out of the kitchen and was about to ask Li Jinxing what he meant just now, when she saw Li Jinxing coming out of his room with a suit jacket, as if he was about to go out.
"Are you going out?" Nie Yao asked hesitantly.
Li Jinxing nodded slightly, and seeing her frown, he asked with a smile, "Do you have anything else to tell me?"
"You guarded me all night last night and didn't get enough rest. Besides, your injuries haven't healed yet. Why don't you take a good rest for a day?"
Nie Yao said this, met Li Jinxing's smile, and added: "Doctor Zhao said that you need to rest well so that the wound can heal faster!"
"I know, but I have something to do outside..." Li Jinxing's lips curled slightly, and his eyes became softer as he looked at her: "Don't worry, just stay home and wait for me!"
After he said this, he put on his coat and left the living room.
Nie Yao could only watch his back as he closed the door and left, a slight blush appearing on her face. Why did she feel that their conversation just now was like that of an old couple?
She shuddered suddenly, embarrassed by her own association. She shook her head, took off her apron, changed into a new set of casual clothes, and prepared to go back to the Nie family's old house.
After all, she hadn’t reported the results of last night’s auction to her father and grandfather yet!
Before leaving the apartment, Nie Yao took a look at the white marble auspicious beast Crouching Dragon cup that she had locked in the cabinet in the living room. She hesitated for a moment and ultimately did not take the thing back.
Although this was donated by the Nie family and it was Li Jinxing who bought it back, it ultimately belongs to Li Jinxing. Without Li Jinxing's permission, she could not rashly take this cultural relic back to the Nie family.
Even though Li Jinxing said he took the photo of this cultural relic for her...
Before returning to the Nie family's old house, Nie Yao still called her father and found out that her father was not in the old house.
"Ayao, I'm at the company. How about this, you come directly to the company to find me. I have something to tell you--" Father Nie gave the company's address.
Nie Yao took out the map on her phone and searched it. She found that the company address was not far from the apartment, only two subway stops away, so she decided to take the subway directly.
