When Xia Li returned to the private room, the two men who had gone out had already returned.
She closed the private room door and walked into the room, looking back and forth between Xie Yin and Chu Wang.
I just felt that the atmosphere in the private room was inexplicably strange.
She sat down next to Xie Yin, but she could clearly feel the low pressure on the man next to her.
Xia Li couldn't help but turn his head and look. The man's profile was strong and clear, and his jawline was as sharp as a knife.
Further down, there is the sexy Adam's apple that is half exposed in the air.
Although the expression on the man's face was as calm as before, Xia Li always felt that Xie Yin was not in a good mood.
But she really couldn't find any flaws in the man's calm and cold expression.
Sensing her gaze, Xie Yin turned his head.
His dark eyes caught the girl's gaze that was falling on him.
"What's wrong?" He lowered his head slightly and asked in a low voice.
Xia Li withdrew his gaze and shook his head:
"nothing."
She reached for the cold coffee on the table in front of her, put it to her lips and took a sip.
From the moment he came out of the cafe to the time he returned to Tingyuan, Xie Yin just looked at the receding scenery outside the window without saying a word.
The atmosphere in the car was unusually quiet.
It also made Xia Li feel a little anxious.
It wasn't until the Maybach with three license plates turned into Tingyuan that Xia Li asked cautiously:
"Mr. Xie, are you in a bad mood?"
Xie Yin turned his head and looked at Xia Li, who was a little nervous.
After a long time, a low "hmm" escaped from his throat.
"Is it because of work?" Xia Li blinked and asked in a low voice.
Xia Li didn't understand what happened between Xie Yin and Chu Wang. In her opinion, Xie Yin's abnormality started when he went out to answer the phone.
So the only thing she could guess was that Xie Yin was upset about work matters.
Xie Yin did not answer her question. He gently twisted the beads in his hand with his fingertips and changed the topic:
"You should go back to Tingyuan first. I have to go back to the company to handle some things. In the evening..."
His voice paused:
"Maybe it will be a little late to come back."
Xia Li didn't expect Xie Yin to skip this topic directly, but she could tell that the man didn't want to continue talking, so she had no choice but to obediently nod her head and say "ok" before getting out of the car.
At night, in a high-end bar in Beijing.
Qizhou couldn't bear to look at Xie Yin, who had already drank three glasses of strong liquor.
When the man filled the wine glass in front of him with liquor again and was about to put it to his mouth, he was stopped by Qizhou.
"Brother Yin, are you alive?"
(Brother Yin, are you desperate for your life?)
"This is liquor. If you drink it so hard, aren't you afraid that your stomach will burn when you go back?"
Xie Yin had a bad stomach, he knew it.
He didn't want to carry a tall man who was about 1.8 meters tall to go to the hospital for emergency treatment at night.
With that said, Qizhou reached out to grab the wine glass from the man's hand.
But he was stopped by Xie Yin.
The man's expression was gloomy, and his eyes were full of loneliness and dejection.
The throat burned by alcohol is a little dry:
"I made a reservation."
(I have the numbers)
"What's wrong with you today? Why do you look so decadent?" Qizhou couldn't help but ask.
From the moment he entered the private room, the man in front of him had a cold face and drank one cup after another without saying a word.
He wanted to speak many times but really didn't know how to ask.
Qizhou looked at the man who raised his head and drank the white wine in the glass in one gulp, and asked tentatively:
"Is it because of work or Xie Beixiao?"
Xie Yin's hand holding the cup tightened slightly, and the raised veins on his arms were visible to the naked eye.
He placed the cup in his hand heavily on the marble countertop, shook his head with red eyes and took the wine bottle on the table from behind.
Qizhou looked at the man and shook his head but said nothing, and asked again:
"Did you quarrel with Xia Li?"
Xie Yin stopped pouring the wine.
Catching the man's strange behavior, Qizhou couldn't help but say "Holy shit" and almost jumped up from the sofa.
"Did you really quarrel with Xia Li? Why?"
"There was no quarrel," Xie Yin put the empty wine bottle aside, "it's my own problem."
Ever since the conversation with Chu Wang, Xie Yin's heart had been filled with a sigh of relief.
He tried to use work to distract himself, but in the end he found that he couldn't calm down and work well at all.
As a man, he could certainly see Chu Wang's thoughts on Xia Li.
Xie Yin always knew clearly that Xia Li was willing to marry him because of the Xia family and not because she truly loved him.
He also knew that Xia Li had always maintained a strange distance from him.
But when a man who also had a crush on Xia Li stood in front of him as his "childhood sweetheart" and confidently told him that he and Xia Li were not suitable, at that moment, Xie Yin was at a loss.
No matter how calm he pretended to be.
But his heart was already surrounded by sourness and panic.
He would be envious and jealous that Chu Wang knew Xia Li better than he did.
But he was just a man who could only use despicable means to keep the girl by his side.
On the way back to Tingyuan in the afternoon, Xie Yin thought a lot.
He was thinking about what he should do to win Xia Li's heart.
He was thinking about what method he should use to keep the girl by his side if Xia Li was not attracted to him after a year.
He was even thinking about how great it would be if he could replace Chu Wang's identity.
But he can't.
Qizhou sighed:
"What happened? What do you mean it's your problem?"
Xie Yin didn't answer.
Qizhou said again:
"Don't keep stuff in your mind all the time. If you don't say it out loud, it will be so uncomfortable."
After Xie Yin was silent for a long time, he put down the wine glass in his hand and stood up.
"Hey, where are you going?"
The man took the suit jacket from the sofa and said quietly: "Go home."
Xie Yin walked out of the private room and when he was walking towards the stairs, a drunk woman accidentally bumped into him.
At first Xie Yin didn't care.
Until he got in the car and smelled the strong smell of Zhannan perfume on his body, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.
He frowned tightly and ordered the driver in a cold voice to drive faster.
When Xie Yin returned to Tingyuan, Xia Li was lying on the bed in the master bedroom, scrolling through his phone.
The door of the master bedroom was gently pushed open by the man, and a slight sound reached Xia Li's ears, causing her to turn her head and look subconsciously.
Under the warm yellow light, she met the slightly drunken eyes of the man who walked in from the door:
"You're back?"
"Well," Xie Yin casually put his suit jacket aside and raised his hand to unbutton his shirt cufflinks, "Aren't you asleep yet?"
His voice was extremely hoarse, and when it floated into Xia Li's ears, it seemed as if he was deliberately grinding her ears.
"I plan to watch the video before going to bed."
Xie Yin took off the watch from his hand and placed it on the bedside table.
He turned sideways and stood on the edge of the bed, looking at the girl sitting cross-legged on the bed, and said in a mute voice:
"come over."
"Huh?" Xia Li was stunned.
The man's deep eyes stared at her closely, just like a wolf staring at the prey he saw.
He slowly leaned down and the tie around his neck hung down:
"Help me take off my tie."
Xia Li came to his senses, knelt down from the bed and moved in front of the man.
The close distance allowed Xia Li to quickly smell the smell of alcohol on the man's body.
She couldn't help but sniff, and her keen sense of smell allowed her to capture the smell of women's perfume mixed with the smell of tobacco and alcohol.
Xia Li was about to reach out and paused.
"What's wrong?" Xie Yin asked aloud as he lowered his eyes and saw that the girl had not made a move.
"No, nothing."
Xia Li's heart twitched, and an inexplicable sourness filled her entire chest.
Pretending to be nonchalant, she reached out her hand and touched the man's tie.
Because he had never untied a man's tie, Xia Li's fingertips were a little at a loss after touching the tie.
At this moment, the man's warm and broad palm suddenly grasped her hand that was on the tie.
Xia Li raised her eyes and looked at him, only to see that her usually cold and deep eyes were now stained with a strong hint of drunkenness.
Xie Yin leaned forward and got close to her face.
Xia Li looked at the man who was constantly approaching her, her eyelashes trembling uncontrollably.
Seeing that the two of them were about to kiss, Xia Li closed her eyes without even thinking.
But the expected kiss did not fall.
Xie Yin stopped his movements the moment the girl closed her eyes in panic.
Xia Li heard the chuckle coming from the man's throat, and then he opened his eyes.
"Think I want to kiss you?" Xie Yin raised his eyebrows slightly, and his low and hoarse voice sounded like he was in a good mood.
Xia Li's cheeks were burning uncontrollably. She bit her lip and turned away:
"You, don't get so close to me..."
Thinking that he had smelled a woman's perfume on him just now, Xia Li's heart felt sour and swollen.
She wasn't quite sure whether this feeling meant that she liked Xie Yin.
"Are you angry?" Xie Yin asked in a low voice.
"No."
Xia Li didn't know where he got the courage, and became sulky with Xie Yin for the first time.
She struggled to pull her hand away from the man's palm, but the man held her hand tighter.
"do not be angry."
The man's throat was slightly lowered, his eyes as deep as ink were locked on her, and his low-pitched voice was slightly dull due to drinking.
Xia Li struggled for a moment.
"Don't be angry with me, Li Li."
He held her hand and untied the tie around his neck little by little:
"I just want to teach you how to explain it this way. Don't be angry, okay?"
Xia Li's heart twitched suddenly.
The low, hoarse voice brushed against her eardrums with a hint of coaxing her, and her hands had already been taken by the man to untie the tie hanging around his neck.
The soft fabric of the tie was held in her hands, and Xie Yin immediately let go of her hand.
In my ears is the man's low-pitched voice:
"Have you learned it, Li Li?"
Her fingertips curled slightly and sank into the soft silk fabric.
"Huh? Li Li?"
She blushed and nodded: "I learned it."
After receiving the answer, Xie Yin nodded with satisfaction, turned around and entered the bathroom.
Soon, the sound of gurgling water could be heard in the bathroom.
Xia Li was lost in thought when she heard the sound of water coming from the bathroom. Her wandering eyes suddenly fell on the suit that the man had put aside.
Thinking of the perfume she smelled on the man just now, she struggled internally but couldn't help but pick up the man's suit jacket, put it in front of her nose and smelled it gently.
The strong smell of perfume drifted into her nose.
The sound of water in the bathroom stopped suddenly, and Xia Li pursed her lips tightly and put the man's suit jacket back in a panic/
She returned to the side of the bed where she slept with her back to the bathroom, took out her phone and couldn't help but post a post on Weibo.
@一小丽: If you find a man smelling like women's perfume and feel unhappy, is this considered liking him?
