The tips of Xia Li's ears were so red that they were about to bleed.
The heart that was beating out of order was beating faster and faster.
But the culprit who caused her to have erotic dreams for a week was sitting on the sofa with a calm expression.
The two of them just stared at each other from a not too far distance away, neither of them making any next move.
It was as if time had been pressed on the pause button at this moment.
The servants had already wisely left, and in the quiet living room at this moment, you could clearly hear the sound of a pin jumping to the ground.
The first person to break the silence was Xie Yin.
The man sitting on the sofa raised his eyebrows with interest, then leaned forward and took a dark blue velvet box from the Table Mountain in front of him.
The dark blue box was wrapped in the man's warm palm.
Xie Yin stood up and walked slowly towards the direction of the girl.
Looking at the man slowly coming towards him, Xia Li's eyelashes trembled slightly.
She lowered her eyes, and her eyes fell on the pair of polished black leather shoes that the man kept approaching.
Her heart seemed to keep up with the sound of men's leather shoes tapping the ground, beating faster than before.
The moment Xie Yin stood still in front of her, Xia Li felt as if her heart was filled with more than a dozen jumping rabbits, pounding as if it wanted to jump out of her heart.
Xia Li took a deep breath, holding back her rapidly beating heart and raised her head to look into the eyes of the man in front of her.
I don't know if it was an illusion caused by her being too nervous, but she seemed to catch the faint smile in the man's deep eyes.
Xia Li pursed her lips lightly, and just when she was about to speak, the man's smiling voice came to her ears.
"Long time no see, Mrs. Xie."
This was the second time she heard Xie Yin say the words "Mrs. Xie" face to face.
Even though she had been hearing "Mrs. Xie" for a week, when the man stood in front of her quietly and called her "Mrs. It's like it's boiling.
She always felt that Xie Yin liked to be called "Mrs. Xie", but Xia Li couldn't understand.
In her opinion, she and Xie Yin were just a marriage at best.
What's more, their marriage looks like a time transaction.
But the man in front of me was able to slip into the role of a married woman so quickly, and without any emotion, he could still say "Mrs. Xie".
Although in her opinion this didn't look like Xie Yin's style.
But she had to admire the man's superb acting skills, which almost made her mistakenly think that Xie Yin really liked her.
Xia Li said with a familiar face: "Well, long time no see...Mr. Xie."
The man looked down at the girl's crimson cheeks and raised his thin lips slightly:
"Why is Mrs. Xie so shy when she sees me?"
Xia Li was shocked.
She raised her hand and touched her hot cheek: "Yes, yes?"
The girl raised her soft, shy eyes and looked at him with a look of panic and guilt.
"Huh?" The man's voice escaped from his throat, and he thought of teasing her, "Isn't there?"
Xie Yin leaned forward slightly in a mischievous manner, so that the two people's eyes were level.
Those deep, calm but turbulent eyes looked directly into Xia Li's eyes.
Xia Li was startled by the man's unexpected approach, and her heart skipped a beat in vain.
She subconsciously tried to step back, but her heel accidentally hit the step.
Seeing that Xia Li was about to fall backwards, before Xia Li's brain had time to react, Xie Yin, who was standing in front of him, quickly reached out to hold her slender wrist and pulled her back.
Xie Yin didn't let go of the girl's wrist until she completely regained her footing.
The skin on the wrist that had been touched by the man's warm palm quickly became hot, and that small area of skin felt numb and itchy.
Xie Yin gentlemanly retracted his hand holding the girl's wrist, and it seemed to hang naturally on the side of his leg. In fact, he had already secretly rubbed the skin of his fingertips, as if he was reminiscing about the girl's delicate and smooth skin just now.
Xia Li lowered his head and said softly "Thank you".
Xie Yin casually raised his lower lip, his tone still calm:
"Why are you so careless?"
Her voice, which was as pleasant as ever, seemed to be speaking with a hint of gentle helplessness and concern.
"Mr. Xie suddenly came so close." As he spoke, Xia Li thought of the scene when Xie Yin suddenly came closer. His face became hot again, and he murmured in a low voice, "It scared me."
Xia Li was really frightened.
Imagine that the protagonist who she had been having an erotic dream for a week suddenly appeared in front of her and suddenly came closer.
She really couldn't pretend to be calm as if nothing had happened.
Xie Yin chuckled: "Okay, blame me."
Xia Li opened her lips slightly and said "Ah" in confusion.
"Sorry," the man's thin lips parted slightly, "I frightened Mrs. Xie."
Xia Li:?
She looked at the man in front of her and blinked twice.
Excuse me--
Why is the development of this plot different from what she thought?
Would a real CEO take the initiative to apologize?
Um? If she heard correctly, she seemed to hear some inexplicable pampering and indulgence in the man's tone.
Xia Li frowned. She now seriously doubted whether she had heard wrongly.
But the man in front of her looked at her with a smile from the corner of his eyes, and it was really easy for her to misunderstand that he liked her.
Xie Yin saw all the expressions on her face accurately.
He narrowed his eyes slightly and handed the diamond ring box he had been holding in his other hand to Xia Li.
Xia Li lowered her eyes slightly and landed on the slender finger that opened the velvet box, and then she saw a ring embedded in the box.
"This is?"
"Wedding ring." Xie Yin whispered.
He took out the ring from the box and motioned to Xia Li to stretch out his hand.
Xia Li pursed her lips, a little embarrassed:
"I can just do it myself..."
Xie Yin still maintained the posture on his hands:
"Thank you, Mrs."
here we go again.
As soon as Xia Li heard these three words, the strings in his mind that had finally relaxed were tightened again.
She slowly stretched out her hand and watched the man put the wedding ring on her fingertips.
The man's fingertips accidentally touched the skin of her fingers, which instantly became numb.
Xia Li took back his hand and looked at the ring on his hand. The ring was like a rose branch, twisted into the shape of a rose petal, and covered with fine diamonds.
Her eyes accidentally fell on the two lines of small words engraved on the ring -
"Mein Herz schlagt fur dich"
(my heart beats for you)
XY&XL
It is obvious that this ring was specially customized for a man.
She couldn't understand why Xie Yin wanted to customize this wedding ring. It was obvious that there was no relationship between them.
But she had to admit that when she saw these two lines of small words, the tip of her nose felt a little sour.
She has never been in love before and doesn't know what it feels like to be in love.
Occasionally, I see a girl being touched by receiving a gift from her boyfriend, but she never knows where this touch comes from.
But at this moment, she had to admit that when she saw this diamond ring customized just for her.
She was really touched.
But, that's all.
Because she clearly knew that everything between her and Xie Yin was just a deal.
A one-year deal.
That's all.
Xia Li raised her eyes and looked at the man in front of her, not knowing what to say for a moment.
But Xie Yin seemed to see through her thoughts and asked in a low voice:
"Like it?"
Xia Li nodded and replied truthfully: "I like it."
Xie Yin played with the velvet box in his hand casually, but his eyes when looking at the girl were a little more serious:
"As long as Mrs. Xie likes it."
There was a hint of smile in the man's sexy and low-magnitude voice.
"Huh? Mr. Xie doesn't wear a ring?" Xia Li asked.
When she opened the box just now, she saw two rings in the box.
The other one is obviously a men's model, but the design is much simpler than hers.
Xie Yin played with the box for a moment, with a hint of disbelief in his tone:
"What did you say?"
"I see there is another ring in the box. It should belong to Mr. Xie, right?" Xia Li said softly.
She asked: "Do you need me to help Mr. Xie put it on?"
Xia Li's voice was small and soft, and sounded a bit nervous.
Xia Li just felt that Xie Yin put the ring on for her, and logically speaking, she should put it on for him.
But Xie Yin didn't ask at that time. Out of politeness, Xia Li decided to ask.
When he asked this question, Xia Li was inevitably a little nervous.
She looked into the man's dark eyes, and she was already prepared to be rejected.
Come to think of it, how could someone like Xie Yin wear a ring...
"good."
Before Xia Li could finish her thoughts, the man's pleasant voice came into her ears, completely erasing all the random thoughts in her mind.
"Then I'll trouble Mrs. Xie."
Xie Yin couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, and handed the velvet box in his hand to Xia Li.
When Xia Li took out the men's ring from the box, his fingertips were trembling slightly.
Xie Yin cooperated with her and took the initiative to reach out his hand in front of her.
Xia Li looked at the pair of slender cold white hands in front of him that looked like they had been finely polished.
She swallowed lightly and slowly put the men's ring in her hand onto the man's slender phalanges with unfamiliar movements.
Because of nervousness, the tips of her trembling fingers would always touch the man's skin.
It was obviously a gentle glide by a dragonfly, but she felt the warmth from the man's fingers spread into her body.
Xia Li's fingertips became hot.
Xie Yin lowered his eyes and watched seriously as the girl helped him put on the ring. At this moment, it was as if he had pressed the slow-down button, and time was being infinitely slowed down in his eyes.
For the first time, the idea of freezing time at this moment came into his mind.
He originally thought that Xia Li was shy and wouldn't be willing to help him put on the ring, so he didn't mention it, thinking that it would be okay to put it on himself later.
Unexpectedly, she would actually offer to help him put on the wedding ring.
This surprised and pleasantly surprised him.
The curve of the corner of Xie Yin's mouth deepened a little deeper.
-
After Xie Yin had lunch in Tingyuan, he went to the Wanjia branch in the capital.
The man sitting in the car lowered his eyes and looked at the wedding ring on his hand, and gently rubbed the surface of the ring with his fingertips.
Suddenly he raised his head and looked at the receding tree shadows outside the car window, and the smile in his eyes grew stronger.
Xia Li was lying on the bed and drawing happily when he suddenly thought of something very serious——
Xie Yin is back.
Does that mean she might move back into the master bedroom and sleep with a man?
After all, she still clearly remembers what the man said on the video call that night.
"How can there be any reason to sleep in separate rooms after getting the certificate?"
"I said, I have no idea of sleeping in separate rooms yet."
The words echoed softly in Xia Li's ears, making her a little overwhelmed.
