Ye Xiao looked at her coldly, and felt that her smile was particularly glaring. The atmosphere inexplicably became a little cold, until Nalan smiled and said, "Of course, I didn't expect Miss Bai to have such a good appetite."
Bai Suye smiled and said, "When you are in a good mood, you will eat more."
Nalan quickly turned around and gave instructions to the people in the kitchen, acting like a perfect hostess. Bai Suye and Ye Xiao looked at each other, but only for a short second before looking away.
No more words.
The atmosphere was somewhat tense.
"The medicine is here!" Until Ah Qing came running over hurriedly, carrying a medicine box.
Originally Ah Qing wanted to apply medicine to Nalan, but Ye Xiao had already silently taken the ointment.
His expression was even colder than before.
Nalan looked at the man in front of him whose thoughts were hard to understand, and then unconsciously glanced sideways at the woman who was having dinner opposite him. He felt depressed in his heart, and that feeling was really bad.
In fact, all the calmness and happiness on her face were just a pretense. God knows, she was actually going crazy with jealousy.
Last night, Ye Xiao rejected her and chose Bai Suye instead...
If that's the case, why is he treating her so gently now? It makes her want to fall in love with him...
"Sir, you are so kind to Miss Nalan." Ah Qing sighed, glancing at Bai Suye across from him. Not sure if it was intentional, he raised his voice a little, "I can't bear to see Miss Nalan suffer any injustice. Young Master Tang's girlfriends are so envious."
Ah Qing didn't know Bai Suye, and had a preconceived good impression of Nalan. In the eyes of everyone in this family, Nalan was their mistress. In addition, Yu An repeatedly reminded them to keep an eye on Bai Suye and beware of her tricks. Therefore, they naturally didn't like Bai Suye, a new intruder who was very similar to Miss Nalan.
Bai Suye listened to Ah Qing's words and tightened her grip on the cutlery. She didn't hear Ye Xiao's voice, but she heard Na Lan's shy and coquettish voice, "You talk the most..."
Ah Qing smiled happily.
The scene in front of him was really heartwarming. Not to mention Ah Qing, even Bai Suye herself felt that she was particularly redundant and a bit annoying here.
She sighed softly and felt a little stuffy in her chest.
After a while, he finished the last bite of the second egg, raised his head and said calmly: "I'm full, you guys eat slowly."
Then he looked at Night Owl, still with a calm expression and no emotion. "I'm leaving first. Do you have any objection?"
Night Owl's gaze withdrew from Nalan's fingers and turned to her.
Deep black, bottomless.
His lips were thin and tightly pursed, seeming to be quite unhappy.
She didn't provoke him, and no matter how unhappy he was, it had nothing to do with her. Bai Suye didn't want to stay any longer, so she turned around and left.
"Stop!" Night Owl shouted coldly.
Nalan's fingers froze. She wished Bai Suye could leave quickly, disappear as quickly as possible! !
"Come and sit down!" Night Owl said again.
Bai Suye took a deep breath and turned around, "I've already had enough breakfast."
"Sit down! Don't make me repeat myself."
She hesitated for a moment, then sat down as she was told. Do you want her to stay and watch them show their affection? That's fine... at least it would make her more rational.
Ye Xiao turned his head and whispered a few words to Ah Qing. Ah Qing looked at Bai Suye with contempt and gloating, and left in a hurry.
Bai Suye didn't know what he was talking about, but she was also curious. But the next moment... when Ah Qing came back, she understood.
Ah Qing was holding a glass of boiled water in her hand, and in her palm were two white pills. "Ms. Bai, these are contraceptive pills. Your husband asked you to take them to avoid unnecessary trouble."
Paleness flashed across her pretty face.
The faint smile was almost gone. But she still forced herself to look at him, "You've thought of it very carefully. But, in fact, even if you didn't prepare it, I wouldn't forget it myself."
The eyes of the night owl are as cold as frost and as sharp as a sword.
There was a provocation in her smile, and she raised the cup and drank without hesitation.
… … … … … …
After leaving Night Owl's house, Bai Suye went straight back to the Security Department of the National Security Bureau. Fortunately, there were uniforms in the office to change into, so she put on a clean uniform and pinned a silk scarf on herself, which barely covered the marks left by Night Owl on her neck.
Now, when I think about what happened last night, I still feel a lingering fear.
That pain...
I really don't want to think about it anymore.
She didn't know when the next time Night Owl would look for her, but... now that Nalan was with her, he probably wouldn't need her for the time being!
She should have felt happy, but her chest felt strangely stuffy and she couldn't breathe.
A bitter smile.
What are you depressed about
Bai Suye, don't forget, the reason why I'm willing to interact with him this time is because I hope to end it all with him...
After a month, there will be no more unnecessary entanglements...
"Minister." At this moment, the office door was knocked from outside. White Wolf pushed the door open and said, "We have intercepted the intelligence of the ET terrorist organization. We will hold an international press conference at 2 pm. The director has named you and you will speak in person."
"I understand. You guys go get ready." Bai Suye nodded confidently. She participated in the whole process of intercepting intelligence and knew the most about it, so it was natural for her to speak.
… … … … …
The conference hall was already crowded with reporters eagerly waiting.
At 2 o'clock on time, the gilded door was suddenly pushed open from the outside. A group of men in black, wearing headsets, walked in slowly. Surrounded by them was a young woman, dressed in a dark blue uniform, who walked into the venue with steady steps and grace.
The sound of "clicks" and "clicks" rang out crazily, and the flash lights made it almost impossible to open your eyes. She stood on the podium and spoke clearly, explaining everything from beginning to end. She was radiant and dazzling.
The process took about two hours. The woman always maintained her grace and smile, looking refreshed and bright.
After the event was over, he was about to leave, but was blocked by a swarm of reporters.
"Ms. Bai, can we give you a brief interview? We are from the National Newspaper. We made an appointment with you a long time ago, but you never had time to contact us."
"Sorry, our minister is very busy and has other schedules!" Bai Lang blocked the reporters from following him.
However, the reporter kept following.
Bai Suye didn't have much to do in the afternoon, so she stopped and accepted their interview.
… … … …
the other side.
In the study.
Ye Xiao turned on the TV at 2 o'clock on time to watch the live broadcast of today's Ministry of State Security press conference.
Bai Suye's speech on the rostrum was as beautiful as ever, neither humble nor overbearing. Every point and narrative was clear and well-organized. She is indeed a very good speaker.
