Zhou Jiyun is a person who is very good at controlling his emotions. After a night's rest, he returned to the gentle, elegant and graceful Mr. Zhou. It seemed that his out-of-control emotions the night before were just her illusion.
But only Xie Jing knew that Zhou Jiyun had changed a lot compared to before. The key point was that he was even more clingy. Even if he was reading, he would still squeeze on the recliner with her.
He didn't even read, but just hugged Xie Jing and stared blankly. Anyway, he just wanted to be close to Xie Jing, as if he wanted to be close to her all the time.
Xie Jing thought of Zhou Jiyun's pitiful appearance the night before, and swallowed back the words on the tip of her tongue. She had said that feeling sorry for a man would bring bad luck, but now, she was losing ground, and Zhou Jiyun was like a warrior who had blown the horn of victory, approaching inch by inch.
Looking at the two people huddled together, Li Ma couldn't help but smile until crow's feet appeared at the corners of her eyes. She had come here at noon today. The Xie family hadn't said anything about her resignation and had paid her salary very happily.
As soon as she left the Xie family's gate, she was brought here by someone sent by Zhou Jiyun. Xie Jing told her that she would not live at home and would only help with cooking when needed. As for cleaning and other chores, there were naturally hourly helpers.
Now she just came to prepare lunch. She was busy in the kitchen, and looked at Xie Jing from time to time. She had worked in the Xie family for more than ten years and really loved Xie Jing.
Now that she could take care of Xie Jing without any worries, Li Ma was overjoyed. She had no children and had been married once when she was young, but her husband died young, so she gave up the idea of remarrying.
After going to work at the Xie family, she saw that Xie Jing had not received much attention from her family at such a young age, so Li Ma couldn't help but worry about her. Over the years, Xie Jing and her had indeed had a good relationship.
But uncle, is he so clingy? Li Ma has been here for less than two hours, and uncle is like a follower, following the young lady wherever she goes, not leaving her side for a moment.
Even when the young lady was reading, he would squeeze in to the side. He said nothing, just played with the young lady's fingers, thinking about his own secrets that no one else knew.
Mother Li smiled and stopped looking at the newlyweds on the balcony. Instead, she started to busy herself with lunch.
After some polishing, Xie Jing finally finished the lyrics that Professor Niu needed. Actually, Professor Niu had already sent her the arrangement on Thursday, but it was she who took so long to finish it.
After hitting send, Xie Jing stretched. She felt a rare unease at the thought of returning to her room to sleep. Zhou Jiyun had just returned the day before yesterday, exhausted from a long flight, and he had fallen asleep by the time she got back.
He was very emotional last night, and Xie Jing wanted to comfort him, so she naturally didn't care about being embarrassed. But today...
Thinking of Zhou Jiyun sticking to her all the time during the day, Xie Jing didn't want to go back to her room at all. In fact, Xie Jing felt embarrassed every morning. Today, Xie Jing felt the man's physiological reaction in the morning.
After glancing at the musical instruments around her, Xie Jing quickly walked out of the piano room.
"Why are you here? Not in the study?" Xie Jing was stunned upon exiting the piano room. Zhou Jiyun sat cross-legged at the coffee table, a laptop in front of him. The faint blue light from the computer shone on his glasses, giving them a dark sheen.
Zhou Jiyun raised his eyes: "I want to be closer to you."
His tone was gentle, and even his expression was very normal, but Xie Jing could sense Zhou Jiyun's deep insecurity.
The mental preparation that Xie Jing had just made collapsed in an instant. She stared at Zhou Jiyun for several seconds, feeling the rapid beating of her heart. Xie Jing knew that at this moment she was attracted to Zhou Jiyun.
A girl may fall in love with a man because of his ability, family background, appearance, achievements, etc., and this kind of love is often superficial. However, once a girl develops emotions such as compassion for a man, this love will become deeper and longer-lasting.
Xie Jing knew that she felt pity for Zhou Jiyun at this moment. Not only did she pity Zhou Jiyun's situation in the Zhou family, but she also felt pity for him for losing his beloved parents at such a young age.
If one had never received family love, like her, one would not have so many expectations of parents, and would not have felt so sad.
For someone like Zhou Jiyun, who once had a harmonious and happy family, it was shattered overnight. The child who was bathed in love suddenly lost everything. This kind of blow is even more devastating.
Sighing silently, Xie Jing sat down on the sofa behind Zhou Jiyun: "How long will you be busy?"
Zhou Jiyun's eyes curved. "There's another video conference, and it's estimated to be over by eleven o'clock."
Xie Jing checked the time: "I'm going to take a shower first, and I'll come over to accompany you later."
Zhou Jiyun felt particularly relieved. He knew Xie Jing was just accompanying him. "Okay, take your time."
After Xie Jing walked into the bathroom, Zhou Jiyun's mouth curled up slightly, his eyes full of attachment. He knew that he had used a lot of tricks and tricks when facing Xie Jing, and he even knew that Xie Jing was aware of his tricks.
But so what? Xie Jing clearly saw through it, but she didn't run away. She even took the initiative to step forward. Zhou Jiyun felt the beast in his heart seemed even more restless. He undoubtedly wanted more, but would Xie Jing still be willing to give it to him when the time came?
If his overwhelming emotions erupted, would they scare Xie Jing? Clenching his fists, Zhou Jiyun calmed down and looked at the computer screen again.
When Xie Jing returned to the living room, Zhou Jiyun was wearing headphones and having a meeting with the screen. She gently sat down on the chaise longue next to him, wiping her wet hair while listening to Zhou Jiyun's very standard American English.
Children from wealthy families like these were required to learn various talents from a young age. Some were arts, some were languages. Xie Jing also learned two minor languages in addition to studying art.
As for English, she had passed the required level and could communicate normally with foreigners without any problems. However, Xie Jing was not familiar with business English like Zhou Jiyun's, especially when it involved some professional vocabulary, which Xie Jing had to think about to understand.
Looking at Zhou Jiyun's figure, Xie Jing gradually became lost in thought. She had not been curious about why Zhou Jiyun loved her before, but after she fell in love with him, Xie Jing wanted to find out the reason.
After all, she didn't like Zhou Jiyun before, so Xie Jing didn't care about Zhou Jiyun. But now that she has fallen in love with Zhou Jiyun, she hopes to know everything about him.
She wanted to know why Zhou Jiyun had suddenly changed so much. Why did a person who was originally very indifferent suddenly fall in love with her? Why did he suddenly treat her so well?
