Qiao Yanli, who had been making decisive killings in the mall for many years, was sensitive to the fact that something was wrong with Xia Yanxi.
He squeezed her soft, boneless little hand and frowned slightly, "What happened? You are unhappy." He said it in an affirmative sentence.
Xia Yanxi wanted to withdraw her hand several times, but she resisted and did not move.
A stiff smile emerged from the corners of her lips. She knew that she couldn't act or control her inner emotions when facing the people she cared about and liked.
Still shaking his head, "It's okay, because this piece of land reminds me of my deceased mother."
Mentioning Xia Yanxi's mother, a sharp cold light flashed across Qiao Yanli's dark eyes. He pursed his thin lips slightly, said nothing more to her, started the engine, and the car sped away.
I wonder if it was Xia Yanxi's misunderstanding, but she felt that he seemed a little unhappy when she mentioned her mother.
She closed her eyes and looked at him again, but there was nothing strange about his expression.
But, he stopped talking to her.
She didn't have the energy to speculate on his unfathomable thoughts. She never understood him.
And now, she doesn't want to understand it.
The car drove quickly towards Qinyuan, and neither of them exchanged a word along the way. The silent and condensed breath makes people feel heavy and depressed.
Back in Qinyuan, Qiao Yanli handed the ruby necklace and land deed that he had photographed to Xia Yanxi and then entered the study.
Xia Yanxi sat on the sofa and looked at the two things that were priceless to her. Her chest was filled with astringent pain.
In fact, she should feel honored, right? She looks somewhat similar to the woman he loves so much, and she can also become his wife.
He pampered her so generously and gave her everything she wanted.
If she had any sense, she would have endured all this silently, right? But what to do? The relationship she wants is pure, mutually agreeable, and connected.
She doesn't want to be a substitute or a copycat.
Even if she didn't have him, she would have a very hard life, would have nothing, would be in trouble, and would be bullied.
She already owed him enough, she wouldn't want the necklace or the land deed. Although, she really wanted this title deed in her heart.
But her pride and self-esteem wouldn't allow it.
Xia Yanxi stood up and put the necklace and land deed in the safe in the bedroom.
After taking a bath, Xia Yanxi chatted with Aunt Xu for a while. She lay on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.
At almost midnight, Qiao Yanli entered the bedroom.
When he entered the bathroom, Xia Yanxi got up from the bed.
She struggled internally and hesitated for a moment, then went to the study, picked up the wallet he put in the first drawer, and opened it.
She knew it was wrong for her to look through his things privately like this.
However, she couldn't control herself.
She wanted to see what the woman he loved looked like.
At this moment, her heart was extremely uneasy, and could even be said to be overwhelming.
Her hands holding the black purse were shaking.
She knew that this was entirely her own fault.
However, she was unwilling to give up without taking a look.
Turning to the mezzanine, there was indeed a photo inside.
Fu Jingsi was right. The woman in the photo was indeed incredibly beautiful. Under her three thousand black hair, she had a small face with melon seeds that was astonishing. Especially her pair of autumn eyes, which looked like black grapes soaked in water. Exudes an alluring brilliance.
Although the photo looks a little dated, the beauty in it is the most beautiful woman Xia Yanxi has ever seen so far.
Moreover, the temperament is sweet and gentle.
