“Are you tired?” Jian Tan asked gently.
Xia Wei leaned her head against the car seat and nodded slightly. After a while, she said softly, “Your parents are so close. Your family is so good.”
Hearing Xia Wei say that they were wonderful, Jian Tan looked at her in amusement. There was an intoxicating gentleness in her eyes. “You like my house so much? Do you want to come often in the future? Or…” Or just be Mrs. Jian. My parents will be your parents in the future.
Jian Tan’s last sentence was stopped by Xia Wei’s gaze!
Best Actor Jian, who did not feel that he was very thick-skinned at this moment, only smiled at Xia Wei. However, the meaning behind his words was very obvious.
Xia Wei looked at Jian Tan’s seemingly serious eyes and quickly couldn’t help but laugh. She glanced at Jian Tan and scolded jokingly, “In your dreams. Let me tell you, what happened today hasn’t passed yet. Tell me honestly about you and Ding Jing!”
“I was wondering why she looked so hostile the last time I met her. So the fundamental reason is you! 1 haven’t even figured out what’s going on, but she’s already starting to treat me coldly! Tell me, have you ever liked her?”
Looking at Xia Wei’s “revenge is a dish best served cold” stance, Jian Tan did not have any helplessness or anger.
Instead, he heaved a sigh of relief. It seemed that Xia Wei, who would be so “calculative”, was the Xia Wei he knew!
“I thought you wouldn’t ask. I was worried for a long time.” Jian Tan chuckled.
Instinctively, Jian Tan’s reaction was a little strange. Xia Wei raised her eyebrows and looked at him in confusion. “You should be worried that I’m going to settle scores with you, right? Why are you so silly today?”
Jian Tan reached out and held Xia Wei’s hand. This time, the other party did not dodge. “You only want to settle scores with me because you care about me. This is a sign that you love me. Shouldn’t I be happy?”
As he spoke, he exhaled softly and continued before Xia Wei could retort, “I only liked you, Xia Wei. You’re the only girl I’ve liked in my short 25 years of life. In other words, you’re my first love!”
“I’ve already rejected Ding Jing explicitly when 1 first discovered her thoughts. It’s just that the Ding Family is close to the Jian Family, so 1 can’t not interact with her at all! 1 don’t like her, and I’m even very annoyed that she keeps pestering me. Last year, she irritated me so much that she was sent overseas to develop by her family. Will you believe me if I explain it like this?”
Jian Tan’s tone was very sincere and pious, as if he would dig out his heart if she said that she didn’t believe him!
Actually, even without Jian Tan’s explanation, Xia Wei would not distrust her boyfriend. She just wanted an explanation proudly.
After pretending to be cold and snorted, she said, “Alright, I’ll let you off this time, but you’re not allowed to take the initiative to talk to her in the future. I’ll supervise you from time to time! Naturally, no one can covet my boyfriend. You don’t have to worry if I help you deal with her in the future.”
Jian Tan knew that Xia Wei was easy to coax, but he did not expect her to be so easy to coax. He was stunned for a moment before nodding. “Then 1’11 have to trouble you, Girlfriend. You have to watch me more closely in the future.”
As he spoke, he held Xia Wei’s hand and kissed the back of her fair and beautiful hand.
Xia Wei’s face was a little hot. She retracted her hand but did not pull it out. She could only look at Jian Tan’s handsome face under the night sky and sigh again. This man really wanted her life!
His superpower that could make daily conversations sound like love words was really irresistible.
Xia Wei was a little intoxicated by the warm and ambiguous atmosphere. However, she still had a trace of rationality. She glanced at the chauffeur in front of her from the corner of her eye, silently reminding Jian Tan that there were outsiders.
Jian Tan looked at Xia Wei’s guilty expression in amusement. In the end, he still let her go considerately and distanced himself from her.
Jian Tan thought about Xia Wei’s conversation with his mother before dinner started and started another topic. “Are you going to buy a house recently? Why didn’t I hear you mention it before? Have you seen the house there? Do you need my help?”
After getting a relatively safe distance, Xia Wei pretended to be calm and heaved a sigh of relief..
