Naturally, Tang Mu Zhi didn't know what he was thinking in his heart.
She tried hard to hide Tang Hong's affairs, but she never thought that Jing Xiao already knew about it, and even knew more than she did.
After a long time, she seemed to have found her voice and asked: "Are we going to grandma's house to celebrate the New Year this year?"
"Yes, our family has a reunion dinner at grandma's house every year. This year is the first year after we got married, so naturally you want to go back with me."
Jing Xiao looked at her tenderly, and even his tone revealed a hint of doting.
He seemed to be ready to confess his identity to her, or in other words, he had already fully accepted the fact that she was his wife, both in his heart and in his body.
Regarding his explanation, Tang Muzhi frowned slightly, feeling dazed for a moment.
Although Yu Youxi had mentioned this matter to her before, at this moment, when these words came out of Jing Xiao's mouth, she still felt a little surprised and surprised.
"I..." She hesitated for a moment, but could not say the words of rejection.
Seeing this, Jing Xiao reached out and touched her head, his smile still unchanged, "The Spring Festival is still early, this matter is not urgent, don't think about it now."
After that, he took her and continued walking along the stream.
Tang Muzhi lowered her eyes, feeling a sense of guilt inexplicably rising in her heart, so much so that she no longer resisted his touch.
The two of them walked around and occasionally chatted.
In the evening, they returned to the restaurant for dinner.
During the meal, Tang Muzhi remained silent, not focusing on the food at all.
"What's wrong? The food is not to your liking?" Jing Xiao asked with concern, then picked up the chopsticks and put a piece of ribs into her bowl.
Looking at the spareribs in the bowl, Tang Muzhi raised her eyes to look at him again, pursed her pink lips, and hesitated for a few seconds before she finally plucked up the courage to speak.
"Actually..." She suddenly paused mid-sentence, her face full of hesitation and confusion.
Jing Xiao raised his eyebrows and waited quietly for her next words.
"Actually, the food here is quite delicious." Tang Muzhi gritted his teeth, but he still didn't confess after all.
She originally wanted to tell him that her father, who had been missing for many years, was back. This time she returned to her hometown to deal with the troubles she had with him.
But then she felt that there was no need for her to tell him this kind of thing.
They are just a contract couple who signed an agreement. Anyway, they will be separated soon. There is really no need to let him know about such trivial family matters.
Jing Xiao clearly knew in her heart that this was not what she wanted to say, but she still smiled and agreed, "Then you eat more, and we will come over next time."
"Yeah." She nodded, didn't answer any more, and immersed herself in eating.
They felt a little awkward eating this meal.
When we walked out of the yard after dinner, the night fell and stars appeared in the sky for the first time.
The starry night was so beautiful that on the way home, Tang Muzhi kept looking sideways out of the window. At a certain moment, she felt like she was back in Tanzhou, back in that small yard.
But as she got closer to the city, the bright stars outside the window were replaced by neon lights, and the past in her memory could never come back.
Jing Xiao was always paying attention to her emotions, with distress and worry in his eyes.
After arriving home, they sat on the sofa and chatted briefly with grandma for a while.
After a while, Jing Xiao went back to the bedroom to wash up.
When Tang Muzhi returned to the bedroom and finished washing, he was already lying on the side of the bed, his eyes were slightly closed, and he actually looked a bit handsome.
She stood by the bed and looked at him, and she was entranced for a moment.
"It's very late, let's get some rest." Jing Xiao spoke softly, his voice low and sexy, with a strong sense of weariness.
Tang Muzhi was startled and responded softly, then walked around to the other side of the bed, lifted the quilt and got into the bed.
There was a sudden silence in the room, and the red panda from last night still lay in the middle of the bed.
From this point of view, it feels like a family of three.
Tang Muzhi closed her eyes and tried to fall asleep quickly, but she tossed and turned for a long time and couldn't fall asleep.
Jing Xiao was lying flat on the bed. She turned her neck and looked towards him. Just as she was about to speak, she heard his voice, "Is there something you want to say?"
Hearing the sound, her heart trembled slightly, and she couldn't help but wonder if this guy had eyes on his head.
"No, good night." She replied lightly, then turned her back to him.
"Good night." Jing Xiao whispered back, slowly opening his eyes and looking at her.
At this moment, she was lying on her side, her black waterfall-like hair spread on the pillow, and her whole body was curled up. Even though she was covered with a quilt, she still couldn't hide her exquisite and concave body, especially her slender waist. He couldn't help but take another look.
However, after just a glance, he quickly looked away and closed his eyes again, as if there were thousands of emotions brewing in his heart.
It wasn't until early in the morning that Tang Mu Zhi reluctantly fell asleep.
She turned over, hugging the little panda in the middle tightly with her arms, and her fingertips unconsciously touched Jing Xiao's chest.
He was not asleep in the first place, but now he was completely sleepless, his breathing was disordered, and his body was so stiff that he didn't even dare to move.
He stared at the sleeping little face for a long time, and then slowly stretched out her hand to hold it. His movements were very gentle, for fear of waking her up.
Tang Mu Zhi's little hands were very soft, holding it in the palm of her hand as if she were holding a marshmallow.
Obviously he just held her hand, but Jing Xiao's throat was so dry that he couldn't help but swallow, and his whole body became hotter and hotter.
After an unknown amount of time, he gradually regained his composure, held her hand like that, and fell asleep quietly.
Early the next morning.
Perhaps because of the exam, Tang Muzhi woke up very early today, but someone seemed to be earlier than her.
After breakfast, Jing Xiao sent her to school just like yesterday.
After getting in the car, he gently asked, "Don't be nervous."
Tang Muzhi nodded. She never worried about exams. After all, that was what she was good at.
Jing Xiao looked forward and drove the car intently without saying another word.
When they arrived at the school gate, they said goodbye briefly and then he drove away.
Although he was not nervous, Tang Muzhi was still a little out of sorts during the morning exam, and there was always a vague feeling of uneasiness in his heart.
At the same time, at the school gate.
Tang Hong called her, but he never got through. He kept cursing, but soon, he was surrounded by several people.
"Who are you? You're crazy." He cursed angrily, took out the cigarette case slowly, took out a cigarette, lit it, and threatened, "If you dare to touch me, I will blackmail you even I don’t even know them.”
As the smoke filled the air, a man slowly said: "Mr. Tang, someone wants to see you."
Tang Hong frowned and glanced around at the people in front of him. He subconsciously thought that they were here to collect money. He snorted mockingly, took a strong drag on the cigarette in his hand, and pretended to be calm and shouted: "Get out of here and stay there." Go ahead, I want to wait for my daughter here."
As he spoke, he pushed aside the people blocking his way and walked straight forward, his steps a little hurried.
But after taking a few steps, his way was blocked by someone.
"Mr. Tang, you'd better come with us." The person who intercepted him spoke calmly and did not show any signs of panic due to his actions, as if he was sure that he could take him away.
Tang Hong, on the other hand, became uneasy at this moment and realized that something was wrong. He looked around vigilantly, looking for a chance to escape, but they held his arms on the left and right and dragged him away.
"What are you doing? I'm going to call the police if you do this." He struggled desperately, trying to create chaos and attract attention.
But unfortunately, the man ignored him at all, dragged him into the car, and then drove away.
"Where are you taking me?" Tang Hong yelled in horror, "I tell you, this is a society ruled by law..."
Before he could finish speaking, his mouth was sealed, his hands and feet were tied, and even his head was covered with a black cloth.
Tang Hong was really frightened by this battle and kept struggling, but no one in the car paid attention to him.
About ten minutes later, in the private room of the club.
"Master Jing, we've brought him here." Shi Qian reported to the person on the sofa after hanging up the phone.
Jing Xiao raised his eyes and glanced at him, opened his thin lips slightly, and spoke clearly and coldly, "Bring people here."
"Okay." He responded and went to make arrangements.
Soon, Tang Hong was brought in.
It was very quiet in the box, and it seemed like no sound could be heard.
Tang Hong's heart was shattered. Although he was considered a veteran, at this moment, he still felt a strong sense of crisis and panic in his heart.
Soon, the tape on his mouth was torn off, and his tone changed from the initial anger to panic, "Who are you? Are you Mr. Lin's people? Didn't he already promise me that he would give me three more Is it time yet?"
Listening to his slightly trembling voice, Jing Xiao just smiled faintly and remained silent.
He had also dealt with Mr. Lin before. It turned out that Tang Hong owed him money, so everything seemed simple.
Tang Hong's heart was beating fast as he heard no one speak. He suddenly changed the topic and said in a flattering and flattering voice: "How about you tell Mr. Lin that I have a daughter..."
As soon as he said this, Jing Xiao had already stood up, picked up the fruit peeling knife on the table, and put it against his neck.
Shi Qian was obviously a little shocked when he saw this scene. After all, his Master Jing had not done anything in person for a long time.
The sharp blade made a cut on Tang Hong's neck, and blood was slowly seeping out.
Feeling the tingling sensation in his neck, Tang Hong was so frightened that his legs became weak and he almost knelt on the ground.
His voice was trembling, and he said hurriedly: "My daughter is so beautiful. She is still studying in college this year..."
"You are such a good father." Jing Xiao couldn't stand listening any more and uttered these words in a cold voice.
