Chapter 375 Have you cried?
It wasn't until there was another knock on the study door and Nie Yao answered that Li Jinxing opened the door and asked with a smile, "I thought you would be back later today. Why are you back so early?"
Nie Yao responded softly, her smile a bit forced: "There's nothing to talk about. I'll be back after I finish talking..."
"Really? What did they tell you?" Li Jinxing held a plate of fruit in his hand, picked up a piece of apple with a fork and fed it to her mouth.
Nie Yao opened her mouth and ate it, then whispered, "Haven't you guessed it already? It's nothing more than asking me to inherit the family business..."
"You refused?" Li Jinxing said with a low laugh. When he came back just now, the housekeeper said that Nie Yao had been locking herself in the study, as if she was in a bad mood. He guessed that today's conversation might not go smoothly!
Based on his understanding of Mr. Nie, he knew that Mr. Nie would definitely take a tough stance, but Nie Yao's personality was soft-hearted and not tough...
So the talks will definitely end in failure!
"You also guessed that I would refuse?" Nie Yao subconsciously raised her head and looked at Li Jinxing. She didn't expect that he was the one who knew her best.
Even without saying much, he knew that he didn't want to be an heir!
"But I'm your man, of course I can guess that!" Li Jinxing nodded slightly, scratched the tip of his nose with a smile, and then he realized that her eye sockets were a little empty, and even her cheeks were inexplicably dry.
He reached out and stroked her face, lowered his head and looked at her carefully for a few seconds, frowned slightly, and asked in a deep voice: "Have you cried?"
Nie Yao quickly slapped his hand away, lowered her head to avoid his inquiring gaze, picked up a piece of orange and stuffed it into her mouth, answering vaguely, "No, it's just the dust that made my eyes narrow..."
"You can't hide such a small thing from me!" Li Jinxing shook his head and sighed. He bent down, one hand on the table, and with the other hand lifted her chin, forcing her to look at him. He frowned and said, "What on earth did they say to you that could make you cry?"
Nie Yao was originally in a bad mood, but when she heard Li Jinxing's question, she couldn't help but burst out laughing. She raised an eyebrow and asked, "Do you think, with my personality, I would allow myself to be bullied?"
"You really wouldn't..." Li Jinxing shook his head and chuckled. After the chuckle, he sighed softly and said, "But Elder Nie is your elder after all. You wouldn't openly embarrass your elder. So tell me, what did they say to you today?"
Nie Yao did not answer. Although she felt a little disappointed today and decided to leave the Nie family in the future, she had promised her grandfather and father that she would not rashly tell others about it.
Even if this other person is not someone else, but Li Jinxing!
Seeing Nie Yao lowering her eyes in an attempt to evade his questioning, Li Jinxing didn't want to force her. He just ruffled her hair and said with a half-smile, "Even if you don't want to say it, I can guess that they asked you to go back today not only to make you the heir, but they probably told you something else as well!"
Without waiting for Nie Yao to answer, Li Jinxing smiled and said, "If my guess is correct, they are talking about Nie Jinxi's life experience!"
Nie Yao was startled. She hadn't expected Li Jinxing to guess it. She was hesitating whether to answer when Li Jinxing added with a smile, "One more thing. Did they use the Nie family's reputation as an excuse to ask you to keep it a secret, not even from me?"
