Who lied?
Tang Xiaonai immediately jumped down from Ji Xiaohan’s embrace. With her crescent-like eyes, she ran to Tang Youyou’s side with a smile and pointed at Ji Xiaohan with her pinky: "Mommy, Daddy didn’t seem to be very happy just now. You should comfort him, okay? I’ll go play with Brother!"
The little guy had grown bigger and bigger, and she had become more aware and tactful. Before, she didn’t know how to give her dad’s mommy time for private interactions, but now, she already knew.
Tang Youyou looked at Ji Xiaohan in surprise. Her daughter’s words had attracted her attention.
Ji Xiaohan didn’t expect his daughter to be so concerned about him. His handsome face was stu
ed for a moment. When Tang Youyou’s inquisitive gaze looked over, he actually subconsciously dodged it.
"Whom did you just answer? Is it a job? Is there any problem with your company? " Tang Youyou thought that he was in a bad mood and must be related to the call she just picked up, so she asked tentatively.
Ji Xiaohan shook his head and replied in a low voice, "No, the company doesn’t have any difficulties. Don’t listen to your daughter’s nonsense, I’m fine!"
"It’s good that you’re fine. I think my daughter is making a big fuss over nothing!" Tang Youyou chuckled.
Ji Xiaohan raised his eyes slightly and looked at her sweet smile. Although there was a bandage around her head, she was still very pretty. Her skin was sickly pale and delicate, making people’s hearts ache even more.
However, how many things had such a delicate woman hidden from him?
In the past, Ji Xiaohan felt that Tang Youyou was as i
ocent and simple as her daughter. She would never lie to him or do anything to hurt their relationship.
Could he still trust her?
"I have urgent matters to attend to at the company. You can rest in peace at home. I need to rush over to take care of them!" Ji Xiaohan walked in front of her with his tall and muscular body. He raised his slender fingers and adjusted the few strands of hair that were in disarray by her ear as he spoke in a soft voice.
"Alright, go back to work. I’m fine!" Tang Youyou also knew that for the past week, he had been busy working for his company, so he definitely had to take care of a lot of official matters personally.
If there is anything you need, please call me. If you want to eat anything, tell Uncle Yuan to cook it. Even though Ji Xiaohan wanted to leave, he couldn’t stop worrying about her. That was why he kept warning her about everything.
Tang Youyou lowered her head and chuckled, then nodded strongly: "Don’t worry about me, I’m an adult and not a child. If I want to eat something, I will definitely get Uncle Yuan to help me out.
Ji Xiaohan looked at her smiling eyes and sighed. He said meaningfully: "Youyou, you still make me worried."
"Why?" Tang Youyou blinked, not understanding what he meant.
Ji Xiaohan sighed, "It’s nothing. I’m just afraid that something will happen to you. Take care of yourself and come back early tonight. Oh right, I’ll call Yueze home for di
er tonight."
When Tang Youyou heard Ji Yueze’s name, her eyes subconsciously flashed a few times. After that, she lowered her head and replied: "Okay, I’ll tell your grandmother later and ask Uncle Yuan to prepare a few more dishes."
Ji Xiaohan had purposely mentioned his brother’s name just now. With his sharp eyes, he stared at every single expression on her face.
When he saw her black eyes evade his gaze, it was as if two sharp knives had pierced into his heart. He felt a dull pain.
When Tang Youyou turned around to look at him again, all she saw was his tall figure hurrying away.
When Tang Youyou saw the tall figure disappearing at the top of the stairs, she suddenly lost all the strength in her body and sat down on the nearest sofa.
He didn’t know why, but whenever he mentioned Ji Yueze’s name, he felt inexplicably scared.
It was as if she had really done something to let Ji Xiaohan down. Perhaps, it was because she felt guilty.
Hiding this from him was a betrayal of their true loyalty.
Tang Youyou held her forehead with one hand, momentarily unsure of what to do.
Even if it was any other thing, she would definitely not hide it from Ji Xiaohan. However, this was the only thing she wanted to hide her entire life. It would be best if she could hide it from him even in death.
Ji Xiaohan sat in the car with a cold expression. The scenery outside the window was moving backwards rapidly. His eyes, however, gradually became blurry and a little empty.
This kind of mood was truly unpleasant.
He was willing to suspect anything, but he didn’t want to suspect the relationship between his brother and Tang Youyou.
He was afraid that the moment he opened his eyes, the ten thousand arrows would pierce his heart.
The more he was afraid, the more he didn’t want to touch it. However, he didn’t want the feeling to sink to the bottom of the sea.
"Boss, where are you going?" Mr. Driver was always tense. Just now, Ji Xiaohan had asked him to drive straight away as soon as he got on the car. Ji Xiaohan did not say where he was going.
Thus, at this moment, after taking a few detours, Mr. Driver was still bold enough to ask him.
"Let’s go to the company!" Ji Xiaohan leaned back tiredly. The past few days of accompanying Tang Youyou in the hospital had also made him extremely tired.
After arriving at the company, Ji Xiaohan slept in his resting room. When he woke up, it was already 2 o’clock in the afternoon.
He propped himself up and leaned against the bed. He was like a lovelorn, inexplicably sad.
He reached for his phone and looked at his brother’s number.
In the past, he would unhesitatingly pull out whatever it was that happened to him.
But now, why was it so difficult to get through to him?
Ji Xiaohan shook his head. In the end, he still gave it to Ji Yueze.
When Ji Yueze saw his big brother calling, it was as though he saw a vengeful spirit asking for his life. He was extremely terrified.
Although this analogy was a bit over the top, this was Ji Yueze’s i
er description at the moment.
He was really afraid of receiving a call from his big brother.
However, he had no choice but to accept.
Therefore, he could only pick up the phone. Then, with his usual lazy tone, he asked, "Brother, what’s wrong?"
"Youyou is discharged. We’ll have di
er at home tonight!" Whether intentionally or not, Ji Xiaohan still mentioned Tang Youyou’s name.
Ji Yueze was stu
ed for two seconds on the other end of the phone. Then, he coughed lightly and answered seriously: "Ok, I’m done with my work, so I will definitely rush over."
"You must come!" Ji Xiaohan still heard the meaning of his brother’s pause, and his handsome face instantly sank.
"Rest assured, I will definitely come. I will definitely bring Xiao Yan along with me!" Ji Yueze intentionally dragged Bai Yiyan into the conversation so that his elder brother would believe that he had a girlfriend.
"Alright!" After Ji Xiaohan said that, he hung up the phone.
Ji Yueze held the phone and was stu
ed for a long time. He suddenly felt extremely upset. Why? Why did he put himself in such a predicament?
