Ni Sitian finally fell asleep in the early hours of the morning.
I slept soundly until daylight, and only woke up slowly when I heard some noise in the room.
She slightly raised her eyelids and vaguely saw a tall and broad figure from behind.
Ni Sitian's mind was still a little sluggish after waking up. After a moment of blankness, she realized that Xu Tingchuan had come in. Her eyes snapped open, and she sat up reflexively.
Xu Tingchuan was choosing an outfit for the day when he heard a noise behind him. He turned around and glanced at Ni Sitian. Seeing that she was awake, he said casually, "Good morning."
"Good morning." After replying, Ni Sitian remembered the mistake she made yesterday and wanted to reconcile with Xu Tingchuan.
She threw back the covers and got out of bed. She walked to the wardrobe and saw that he had already taken out an Armani charcoal gray casual suit. So she reached out and took out a dark red and silver striped tie for him, held it up against the suit, and looked up with a slightly ingratiating smile, saying, "This will match."
Xu Tingchuan glanced down at the tie, but didn't take it. Instead, he took a thin dark green tie, turned around, and went to the bathroom to change.
Ni Sitian's smile froze, her hand holding the tie paused in mid-air for a moment, and then slowly fell down.
When Xu Tingchuan came out, he saw that she was still holding the tie and said in a calm tone, "I tied that yesterday."
This time, Ni Sitian's entire back stiffened. She lowered her head, looked at the tie in her hand, and bit her lip in frustration.
She had intended to reconcile, but she inadvertently revealed that she had never paid any attention to him and didn't even know what he was wearing yesterday. How negligent she was as a wife! No wonder he ignored her and went to change his clothes just now.
"It's still early, you should continue to rest." Xu Tingchuan glanced at his watch, then said to Ni Sitian, "I have a social engagement today, remember to take your medicine."
Seeing that he was still willing to talk to her, Ni Sitian quickly nodded obediently, showing her concern: "Drive carefully and drink less alcohol."
"Hmm," Xu Tingchuan responded and walked towards the entrance.
Ni Sitian saw him out, still pondering how to apologize for last night. As he changed his shoes, she took a deep breath, about to speak, when Xu Tingchuan said first, "Don't throw away the licorice tablets."
"Oh." Ni Sitian's anger dissipated halfway through her sentence. Seeing that Xu Tingchuan had already put on his shoes and was about to leave, she hurriedly called out, "Wait a minute."
Xu Tingchuan turned around, his eyes slightly lowered as he looked at Ni Sitian.
Ni Sitian clenched her fist and took a step towards him, but in the end, she couldn't muster the courage to bring up what happened last night. She opened her mouth, but the words that came out were: "What about Zhang Yijia's ten million?"
Xu Tingchuan's brow twitched slightly. This was indeed a serious matter and needed to be investigated thoroughly. He then said, "I will investigate."
“Um…” Ni Sitian pursed her lips nervously, her gaze falling on his tie, and then changed the subject: “Your tie is crooked.”
As she spoke, she stood on tiptoe and straightened his tie.
Xu Tingchuan looked down at her hair. He knew she had been trying to explain what happened last night, but he didn't want to hear the excuses she had racked her brains to come up with.
"Alright." After straightening her tie, Ni Sitian looked up at him. His gaze was deep and clear, as if he could see right through her. Her hidden thoughts were laid bare in his eyes, as if exposed to the sunlight.
Faced with that gaze, she felt a little flustered, and in that flustered state, she did something unusually bold.
