Chapter 566 Confession, I Like You A Lot

Qiao Xiyan brought the two of them out to eat.

“Didn’t you say you wanted to eat at Haidilao? Why aren’t you eating anymore?” Qiao Xiyan looked at Tang Jingci opposite him. Song Fengwan was in a good mood. Anyway, she could get away after eating.

Tang Jingci had always seen the news overseas that the Chinese Haidilao was delicious and had good service. She had always wanted to come, but not in this situation…

“Big Sister Tang, the shrimp are good. Eat more.” Song Fengwan smiled and scooped some vegetables for her. “You’ll be busy tonight. Eat more to have the strength to confront someone.”

Tang Jingci smiled bitterly. I’m a patient. How can I confront him?

After dinner, Qiao Xiyan wanted to send Song Fengwan back personally. “Cousin, no need. You two are busy. I’ll take the bus. It’ll help digest my food.” Song Fengwan wasn’t stupid. Being alone with him?

I would definitely shed a layer of skin.

“It’s already dark. It’s not safe for you to go back alone.” Tang Jingci shot her a meaningful look. At the very least, she should help her buy some time. It would be best to drag it out until her father came back.

“The security in Beijing is very good. There’s really no need to send me back!”

Song Fengwan grabbed her bag and rushed out of the Haidilao.

Tang Jingci bit her lip. She wanted to bang her head against a wall and die. In the afternoon, they had even watched TV dramas together and acted like they were biological sisters. But she flew away the moment disaster was imminent.

Qiao Xiyan got up. “We should go too.”

Haidilao was in the shopping mall beside the hotel where they were staying. Qiao Xiyan didn’t drive. While he was paying, Tang Jingci immediately picked up her pace and slipped away.

Qiao Xiyan looked at her back, rolled up his sleeves, and slowly followed her.

One of her arms was injured, and someone bumped into her. Her footsteps were quick, but she was also very careful.

The elevator in front of Tang Jingci was a little crowded inside. She was about to squeeze in when Qiao Xiyan caught up with her in a few steps. He grabbed her shoulder with one hand and pulled her back.

Tang Jingci knew that he was behind her, but she didn’t expect him to catch up so quickly. She was caught off guard. Her body was suddenly pulled back, and she plunged into his arms…

Qiao Xiyan immediately reached out to protect her injured arm. “Did the wound get touched?”

Tang Jingci shook her head. Her nose was red from the collision, and she seemed a little annoyed, but she looked inexplicably cute.

Qiao Xiyan smiled faintly. “Let’s go back to the hotel first.”

With that, he pulled her out of his arms, held her hand, and walked straight to the elevator on the other side.

“Qiao Xiyan!” Tang Jingci was anxious. How can he pull me like this?

“What’s wrong?”

“Let go! I can walk by myself!”

The two of them got out of the elevator one after another.

Song Fengwan didn’t leave. Instead, she bought a cup of bubble tea at a bubble tea shop on the side. When she saw the two of them coming out, she even deliberately hid. But…

They’re not even back at the hotel yet and already hugging?

What kind of tempo is this?

What happened between the two of them? When did they become so intimate?

She drank her bubble tea and was about to call Fu Chen when she was told that his phone was already on another call. “Who is he talking with?”

On the other side, Qiao Xiyan and Tang Jingci had already arrived at the hotel and took the elevator to their floor.

Qiao Xiyan pulled her out of the elevator, scaring Tang Jingci so much that her face turned pale. “Where are you taking me?”

“Your room.”

After he opened the door and they entered, Tang Jingci sat beside the bed, feeling guilty and uneasy.

“Where’s the medicine? I’ll apply it for you first.” Qiao Xiyan looked at the table in the room.

“Over there. It’s a brown medicine bottle with a cotton swab beside it.” Tang Jingci was so nervous that she was suffocating.

Qiao Xiyan came over with a medicine bottle and applied the medicine on her. She couldn’t touch her arm with her hands, so she couldn’t apply the ointment. She could only dip a cotton swab in the medicine and swipe it on her arm. Even though a few days had passed, it still hurt when the cotton swab touched her wound.

She took a deep breath.

“Bear with it.” Qiao Xiyan’s tone was a rare gentleness.

Tang Jingci was extremely nervous. She would be stabbed sooner or later, but he didn’t move for a long time. She was anxious.

Only after applying the medicine did Qiao Xiyan sit down by the bed. He grabbed a tissue and wiped his hands. “Tell me. After your eyes regained their vision, did you see something you shouldn’t have?”

“No…” Tang Jingci shifted over to the other side of the bed. “I didn’t see anything.”

“Tang Jingci…” Qiao Xiyan tilted his head and looked at the person who already had her feet on the floor and was ready to run away at any moment. He rushed over to catch her.

Tang Jingci was dumbfounded.

“Tang Jingci, when you lie, your eyes flash, and…”

III

“When I asked you in the hospital last time, you didn’t deny it. How many times did you see me?”

“Just…” Tang Jingci knew that she couldn’t escape. “You swayed in front of me three times…”

Tang Jingci lowered her eyes slightly. Her eyelashes were trembling nervously, and her eyes were watery. She was obviously nervous and afraid…

“You’ve done all kinds of bad things. Now, you know how to be afraid?”

“When I could see, you just came out of the shower. I couldn’t say it directly…”

“You said you’ve seen me three times. The first time might be an accident, but what about the last two?”

Tang Jingci lowered her head, not daring to look at him.

“Raise your face.”

“When you’re talking to someone, you have to look at them.

“One time wasn’t enough. You even did it one after another. You…

“Do you like to see me that much?”

Her face flushed red.

She had no idea that Qiao Xiyan’s personality was slow to warm up to people. But after interacting with him for a long time, she knew that he could do anything when he was angry. “It’s not the first time you’ve secretly done something. When you were drunk, when you were blind…

“You keep lying. If nothing happened this time, how long were you planning to hide it from me?” Qiao Xiyan asked.

Seeing her stop talking and look so pitiful, he took a deep breath.

“You’re really good at acting!”

Qiao Xiyan had been on blind dates before, and he had also added their contact info. It could be considered that he had interacted with some people of the opposite sex. Coupled with the wives and girlfriends of his friends and relatives around him, he knew that many girls were especially good at acting.

He had a straightforward personality and couldn’t stand it.

Her pitiful appearance made him look like he had done something worse than a beast.

Just as he was about to back away completely, Tang Jingci reached out and grabbed his clothes. “Senior Brother…”

“Hmm?”

“Yes!” Her voice was trembling, revealing a strong sense of unease. “What?”

“The answer to your question just now.” Tang Jingci looked up at him seriously.

Qiao Xiyan had just asked her: (Do you like to look at me that much?]

The answer was…

Yes!

Her voice was floating, but her eyes were firm, making his heart tremble.

After saying this, Tang Jingci felt much more relieved. She let go of his clothes and looked at him. They were inexperienced and awkward.

“Senior Brother… I didn’t do anything on purpose previously. I don’t do that to other men at all…

“Only to you alone!”

After all, Tang Jingci had grown up overseas, so her personality was more open.

“It seems that after getting to know you, some things started to go out of control. I don’t know how I became like this either.” She was usually a very capable and direct person. It wasn’t her personality to be so clingy and muddled.

“Besides, in the elevator last time…

“It was also my first time.

“Including holding hands and many other of my firsts, it’s all you.”

Qiao Xiyan’s expression was serious.

He wasn’t here to question and denounce her. Why had the situation changed so much?

Things were going awry.

He was not good at relationships. What Tang Jingci said was not considered a confession, but it was better than a confession, making him not know what to say for a while.

Qiao Xiyan had also been a hothead in this regard, so the atmosphere became very strange.

Around nine in the evening, Tang Wangjin returned. He had drunk a little and went to Tang Jingci’s room to check on her condition. But when he entered the room, he found the TV was playing the legal channel. Qiao Xiyan was also here. One of them was sitting on the bed, and the other was sitting on a chair…

The atmosphere in the room was very strange!

“Did you apply medicine on your arm?”

“Yes, Senior Brother wiped it for me.”

“Xiyan, thank you for taking care of Little Ci.”

“This is my duty. Uncle-Master, you’re too polite.”

Tang Wangjin drank some alcohol and sat beside Qiao Xiyan. He reached out and patted his shoulder. “That’s true. What’s the relationship between our families? Master gave me a new lease on life. We’re all family.”

Tang Jingci lowered her head and continued poking the sliced mango. Her face was a little red.

On the other side, Song Fengwan got on the bus and called Fu Chen. “Hello, Third Brother. Are you talking about business?” Song Fengwan saw that he was on the phone the whole time and thought that he was talking to a business partner.

“No, I have to take care of some family matters.”

“What’s the matter?”

“I just called Second Brother. He told me to take care of Fu Yuxiu as his uncle. I’m about to go to where he lives to take a look.”

“Okay, go ahead. I’ll go straight back to the school. Call me when you’re done.”

Fu Chen hung up and kept tapping his phone with his fingers, his expression dark.

Shi Fang was driving and observing him through the rearview mirror. He had received news that Jiang Fengya was currently staying at Fu Yuxiu’s place. Third Master was concerned about his nephew and probably wanted to scare him to death.

Is he showing concern for his nephew? He’s obviously going to catch them in the act!
