you

At the beginning of Chapter 1, Van stands behind him, holding a bottle of peanut butter in his hand.

Bei, there's work waiting for you downstairs, huh? "

Kim's tone was as gentle as usual, but at this moment, a trace of unhappiness still did not escape pie's ears.

"Are you unhappy?"

Pie buried his face in Kim's arms, his voice muffled.

"No."

Kim smiled, blurting out a voice that was pretending to be relaxed.

"It's such a small matter that it doesn't make me so unhappy."

Kim let go of her arms, wanting to let pie go to wash.Unexpectedly, pie held her hand but did not let go, still lying in her arms.

"The tongue is not the heart."

As he spoke, he raised his head, puffed out his cheeks and pursed his lips.

"You look like an inflated pufferfish!"

"You're the one!"

Kim reached out to scratch the itchy flesh on Pie's waist, and Pie laughed and avoided it. Unconvinced, Kim jumped onto the bed to catch her, and pie took advantage of the opportunity to hide under the quilt again.

So, after so many rounds of you coming and going, pie finally took Kim downstairs.The moment he heard the door close, Van started the engine, and the smile on his face was as warm as the spring breeze in March.

However, this relaxed mood did not last long.

"Wait."

Before pie could speak, kim squeaked first.She yawned casually, her eyelids drooping, and she seemed to have no energy.

"You guys are going out this early in the morning, don't you mind if I go have breakfast together?"

The movement of closing the car door just now was a bit loud, and Van was shocked by the sudden noise.He didn't look back, but glanced at Kim sitting cross-legged in the back seat through the rearview mirror, feeling dissatisfied in his heart.

Don't you know that in front of others, such a sitting posture is very disrespectful to others?

Really no tutor!

Kim pretended not to see Van's clenched teeth, sniffed, and smiled at him without fear.It wasn't until pie pulled her sleeve secretly that she lowered her head very unwillingly, retracted her long legs and sat down.

"Brother Van."

"Oh, here we come."

Van came to his senses, and his eyes stopped following Kim.

"I'm here to find you now because I have something important to do."

After finishing speaking, his eyes drifted back to Kim, with a look of fear on his face. Seeing it, Pie didn't express anything on his face, but just said something indifferently.

"Brother Van, don't worry, let's just sit down and talk slowly if we have anything to say. It's still early, why don't we go to a teahouse to eat something together? You came so early, you must have not had breakfast yet Bar?"

Indeed, I went out early enough today, and didn't consider solving the problem of breakfast.But according to pie's implication, it is impossible to drive away Kim who is already sitting in the car now.And this An Shao, who had only met him once, was looking at him innocently with the same harmless expression as pie.

How to choose now seems to have the answer.

Ten minutes later, the three of them sat at the same table for the first time.At this point, it is the time when the teahouse is busy.The waiter hastily served them tea and went to the next table. Naturally, no one would care about what kind of turmoil was going on at this small, inconspicuous table near the corner.

The tea is good tea brought by Kim from home. It only comes in one season a year, and it is soaked in a good pot here. As soon as the tea touches the bottom of the cup, the aroma immediately overflows.Unfortunately, although he grew up in a tea house, van is not interested in tea at all.In his eyes, the taste of premium Longjing tea is no different from that of barley tea, and the legendary fragrance on the lips and teeth is just an exaggeration.No matter how sweet the tea smells, it will be bitter in the mouth.

The cup in front of me is of course the same.

"Okay, Brother Van, is there any arrangement at the newspaper office that I need to do?"

Pie ordered a few recommended pastries according to his usual taste, handed the menu to the waiter, and turned to face Van.Van, who was staring at the mouth of the cup in thought, came back to his senses, first looked at pie, then turned to look at Kim who seemed to be out of it, hesitant.

"Actually, it's not an arrangement from above. It's because I have some work on hand that needs to be handed over to you."

As soon as the words fell, Van's eyes immediately slid over to stare at Kim.He wanted to see something on her face, even if it was a trace of dissatisfaction.But Kim didn't give him this chance, he just looked out of the window calmly, as if everything he said now had nothing to do with him.

"What's wrong, Brother Van." Pie frowned suspiciously, "Did something happen recently, I feel like you are under a lot of pressure."

"It's okay, it's just... my mother's surgery funds are in place, I took two weeks off to accompany her, and those columns can't be delayed, in a hurry, I can only trouble you."

Van scratched the back of his head in embarrassment, but Kim still didn't respond, but pie jumped for joy.

"Really? That's great!"

Pie's joy comes from the heart.

"Now Auntie and you can finally relax!"

"Yeah, after this operation is done, it won't be so hard. So pie, you must help me with those two columns, otherwise my loan for the operation fee will take a long time to repay."

Van pouted helplessly, looking like he was having a headache. Seeing him like this, Pie immediately moved closer to him, patted his chest, and spoke firmly.

"Don't worry, Brother Van, it's on me."

After speaking, he frowned and giggled. Kim finally turned around, picked up the teapot on the table, and refilled the pie cup with tea.

"Why is the dish served so slowly today?" Kim shook the teapot, stretched his neck and looked towards the kitchen, "Usually the dishes are ready when half the pot is not needed, today a pot of tea is almost ready At the end of the day, not a single dish has been served yet."

Kim's expression was subtle, and anyone would think it was a commonplace complaint at first glance, but Van, who was as careful as dust, didn't think so.From sitting down to not saying a word just now, but suddenly blurting out such a complaint, how could Van listen, how could it have the meaning that she wanted to send pie away.Compared with him, pie's thinking is much simpler.She looked around and found that other tables had been served one after another, but their table was empty, and she couldn't help but feel a little unhappy.

"Really, I didn't care about the chat. I'll go to the kitchen to remind you, don't forget about us because the location we chose today is too remote. You two sit down for a while, and I'll come when I go. "

"okay."

Kim poured the last of the tea from the pot into her cup and fell silent again. Van symbolically picked up the teacup and held it in his hand, put his nose close to the mouth of the cup, took a few sniffs and then put it down again.On the contrary, the man on the other side of the table ignored him while holding the teacup, drinking happily by himself. Van didn't understand her intentions, but he didn't dare to act rashly, so he had to be patient, taking one sip at a time, watching her drink up the water in the glass.

"Zhao Rufan."

Kim forcefully put the cup in his hand on the table, and slowly raised his eyelids, the sharpness in his eyes was obvious. Van immediately turned serious, and went to meet her gaze, and the expression on his face was more than ten serious than before.

"I think you should know that Pie is now the accompanying reporter of the Lingri Group, and is only responsible for the reports of the Lingri Group. Others are not within her scope of work."

The tone is calm, but the words are clear, making people feel unprecedented pressure. Van looked directly into Kim's eyes, and the words he uttered were a little more formal than usual.

"This statement is wrong. According to the relationship of affiliation, Pie is an employee of the newspaper first, and then the accompanying reporter of the Lingri Group. The newspaper has work arrangements, so it is naturally obligatory. Besides, the Lingri Group and us also have an agreement binding .Rumors about the Ling family are spreading, and the negative news is even more numerous. Under such circumstances, we have the right to terminate the cooperation content described in the agreement and will not bear any responsibility."

"Tsk, from your tone, it seems that you know the Ling family's affairs very well."

"Just stating the facts."

Kim twitched the corners of his mouth, and smiled on the surface. Van ignored her, raised his chin, and stroked his sparse beard.

"Besides, what does pie matter have to do with you? She has her own ability to judge. How can others have the position to interfere with what she decides?"

"Do you know, you are challenging my patience."

Kim folded her arms and leaned back on the sofa seat, staring at him maliciously.

"Your excuse of using public affairs for personal gain is too incompetent. As someone close to pie, I still want to advise you not to covet things that don't belong to you, otherwise..."

Kim propped his elbows on the countertop, leaned forward with his upper body, bent his fingers, quietly watched Van turn his head, and brought his ear to his mouth.

"The price is very heavy."

She deliberately let out a breath, letting the tea smell between her lips and teeth spread around. Van sniffed and turned his head away, the annoyance on his face could no longer be hidden. In his eyes, Kim's series of rogue-like warnings are complete harassment, and the hypocrisy of the rich family once again made him sick to his stomach.

"No matter what the name is, you can't control the pie."

"NO, NO, it's not control, I never need to use any means."

Kim licked his upper lip, picked up the empty teacup in front of him again, and turned it in his hand.

"It can also make her say no to every request you make."

So far, the smell of gunpowder is very strong, it depends on who will ignite the fuse first, and then smash himself to pieces.Obviously, van is a person who understands the situation. Since he wants to get everything he expects, he must endure the humiliation.

Don't you just want to force me to submit? Well, let's see if you have the ability. Is it you, An Yilin, who are deep in routines, or I, Zhao Rufan, who are more skilled.

After all, there is more than one person standing behind me.

The turmoil on this small table was turbulent, and disappeared with a knowing smile from Van. Kim couldn't be bothered to care about the little things in his heart, and stood up to follow the sweetness in her heart. Van summoned the waiter, added a new pot of tea, poured out his own cold tea, and refilled it.

Then, raising his head, he drank it all in one gulp.

☆, suspicion

The sky is already dark.

In the kitchen, Kim held the dishcloth in his hand and wiped off all the water left on the dishes and chopsticks. After tidying up, he turned up his shirt cuffs and went to the living room.

The house is warm and comfortable.The chandelier in the living room casts gentle and soft light, which also makes people feel inexplicably at ease. Ken was still lying in that fixed position on the carpet, squinting his eyes and feigning sleep. Kim raised his eyes and looked over. Pie's slender figure was busy in front of the coffee table.

The pile on the coffee table was exactly what Van said about the handover.

After the eccentric morning tea this morning, in the name of striking while the iron is hot, Van proposed to Pie to immediately report to the agency for the handover procedures. Naturally, Pie would not have any objections, and what Van wanted was her full consent.He did this just to test Kim's attitude.As long as she blocks her exit, she will have a lot of loopholes to take advantage of.But after all, Kim has also struggled in this society for several years, and the obvious clumsy methods cannot escape her eyes.Ever since, she sat in van's car in silence, with her usual calm expression on her face.

Of course, it was impossible for her to enter the newspaper office.For this kind of dragon pool and tiger den, it is better to enter less. Kim pouted, glanced at the gold-lettered signboard on the wall at the entrance of Metropolitan Daily, turned around and ran quickly, and sat down in a cafe opposite the building.

I'll wait for you at the cafe opposite the newspaper office.

He quickly took out his phone and sent a message, and Kim locked the screen again.In the next 5 minutes, she changed six positions and checked the time four times, but the mobile phone lying on the table was still like a brick, and there was no response.

Kim began to feel dissatisfied in his heart.

Broken phone, sooner or later you will be replaced!

She secretly competed with her mobile phone.

If the mobile phone could talk, it would definitely be crying out for injustice now.

Sensing the movement of someone beside him, Kim raised his head suddenly, and found that the waiter was looking at her timidly, and the hand holding the menu seemed to be clenched tighter because of nervousness.

"Huan... welcome! What would you like to drink?"

The more he spoke, the lower his voice became, and finally he even lowered his head, staring straight at the floor. Kim raised his eyebrows, looked around at the brand-new decoration, and the young girl in front of him, raised his hand and rubbed the center of his eyebrows.

"How long has this store been open?"

The tone was calm, without the sharpness just now, just like the brother next door with a sense of security.The student-looking waiter girl raised her head tremblingly, her voice was soft.

"It's only been opened...about a week or so."

"Can you pull flowers?"

Kim continued to ask patiently.

"Yes...but I'm not very familiar with it."

The waiter blushed and continued to answer.

"Then let me teach you."

After finishing speaking, Kim took back the mobile phone on the table, took off the watch on his wrist and stuffed it into his coat pocket, got up and walked towards the bar.The waiter was a little dazed at first, but it took him a long time to react, and he followed Kim in trepidation.

Time passed by every minute and every second, and in the huge cafe, there were only the sounds of the second hand turning and the machine stirring.

This young apprentice recruited temporarily has a good foundation and learns quickly, but he is a little timid and needs more guidance. Kim leaned against the bar with her arms folded, her face was peaceful, yet majestic, as if she was a master.Reaching into her pocket, she looked for the watch and put it on again. She lowered her head and glanced at the time, and it turned out that it was past eleven o'clock.

This is not over, is it?

Kim, who was already unhappy, was even more unhappy at this time, his legs were almost numb from standing, but there was still no sign of pie.There was an inaudible snort, and she opened the door of the bar to quickly walk to the other side of the street to see what happened, but suddenly heard the sound of a porcelain cup breaking.

Looking back at the waiter, his face was full of panic, he was in a hurry and didn't know where to start to clean up first. Subconsciously, Kim squatted down and picked up the debris and threw them into the trash can. After patting his sleeves, he heard the crisp sound of wind chimes behind his head.

Get up calmly and turn your head. Pie was propping his head up, looking at her with interest.

"All right?"

Kim lowered his eyes, pretending to straighten his clothes and not look at her.

"All right."

Pie looked past Kim and landed on the frozen waiter behind her.

"All the documents are ready, let's go."

"it is good."

Kim skillfully took the folder bag from pie's hand and put it under his arm, let her hold the other hand, and left without saying hello, leaving only the waiter looking at the two of them with a mop pole The back is in a daze.

What a talent and beauty...

But why do I always feel that gifted scholars and beauties are not very happy?

The waiter shook his head to himself, and concentrated on doing his own thing.

The things in the cafe during the day are just a pastime for Kim, since that's the case, he doesn't take it to heart, and naturally he doesn't think there is anything wrong with it. Pie didn't seem to take it to heart either, and now her thoughts are all on the documents in front of her.In the morning, Linda happened to see the handover of the agency office, so it was inevitable that he would be called into the office culture.A set of courteous official words came down, with both kindness and power. Although there was no such domineering and rude gesture before, pie felt unusual pressure.

Especially the phrase "prove yourself", echoed in my heart like a deep bell, and it lasted for a long time.

It's really a great mission from heaven, pie has some small complaints in his heart.

Suddenly, I felt a little weight on my shoulders, and then there was a burst of force just as I wanted, and I didn't need to guess which kid it was. Pie relaxed his shoulders and leaned back, but the document in his hand was not loose, and his eyes never moved.She enjoyed this benefit only for herself as a matter of course. She shrugged her right shoulder only after reading the last word on the paper, and stroked the sore palm of the person behind her with her left hand.

"Have the dishes and chopsticks been cleaned up? Huh?"

"All right."

Pie felt the strength on his shoulders loosen, but he didn't turn his head. He just moved to the right as usual, waiting for Kim to turn over from the sofa.However, Kim only twisted the corners of his mouth, walked to the sofa abnormally, and sat down. Pie gave her a sideways look, with an awkward expression all over his face.

She sensed that Kim had something to say.

But he couldn't figure out the deep meaning behind her complicated gaze, so Pie turned on the TV pretending not to know, and let the background sound of TV dramas on the channel be noisy.

I do not know how long it has been.

"pie."

It seemed as if he had made a great determination, Kim finally broke the current silence.But the coldness involved was beyond her expectations.

"Huh? What?"

Looking at the sound, pie was surprised that he didn't meet the light in Kim's eyes.

"Tomorrow, I will discuss with the Ling family to send someone to the newspaper office. You tell Zhao Rufan that these two columns should be handed over to others."

"Huh? Why is that?"

Kim's tone was suppressed, and his eyes staring at the document were even more unfriendly. From this point of view, he must be annoyed.Under such circumstances, tough measures are not only ineffective, but also counterproductive. Pie simply threw away the document in his hand, hooked her neck with both hands, and hung up her whole body.

"Because you don't need to accomplish anything outside of your job description."

Kim was still cold, without any kind emotions. Pie pretended not to know, and leaned forward into her arms.

"But this is the task assigned by the superior, and I have to accept it. Otherwise, I will be fired~"

If there was a third person here, he would probably have already been fed up with the sweetness in this sentence.If there is a competition in this world for coquettish skills, then pie will definitely take the top three places. Kim has always been very fond of this kind of thing, but today she was very abnormal, she just stroked pie's back with her hands, without turning her head, and without blinking her eyelids.

"Oh, it's just a small newspaper office. Could it be that in front of me, you also want to turn the clouds upside down?"

Kim's eyes were as sharp as a sharpened knife.

"A mere Zhao Rufan can't help me."

"what happened to you?"

Sensing her abnormality, pie sat up straight, a little at a loss. Kim didn't answer, but slowly raised her eyelids and turned her head.

Her eyes were full of fierceness that had never been seen before.

Pie was startled and couldn't say anything immediately.

"You know."

Kim bites every word very clearly, like the hammer of judgment in court, with a loud sound. Pie looked at her like this, really puzzled for a long time.But when she felt the temperature of the palm attached to her waist getting higher and higher, at that moment, she seemed to understand what was going on.

This kid, isn't he jealous?

It's all my own fault, I just feel that if I reject Brother Van, the emotional matter will be resolved, and I forgot to take care of Kim's emotions, what a sin. Pie sneaked his gaze over and found that Kim was staring at her intently, his eyes seemed to be on fire.

Well, since the fire is already on, it might as well bring another gust of wind to make the fire a little hotter.

Pie stretched out his hands and pushed hard, Kim was unprepared, and fell on the sofa, his stern face also showed a trace of panic. Pie climbed up to her chest, propped his arms, and stared at her playfully.

Kim starts to frown.

"What are you doing?"

"It's nothing, some people don't tell the truth, so you want me to tell you?"

Pie raised his eyebrows, the smile on his lips was already evident.

"No."

Kim laughed, and decided to continue to be stubborn.

"No? Don't you smell sour in the air?"

Pie sniffed close to Kim's lips.

"There's a brat, he's jealous."

"Pie, stop making trouble."

Kim still frowned, but his attitude had obviously softened a lot.

"I am serious."

"I'm serious too."

Pie restrained the smirk on his face.

"Kim, you and him are different to me. Brother Van has been by my side since I was born. I played with him since childhood. He has taken care of me a lot, but my feelings for him are nothing more than The relationship between brothers and sisters is even purer than friendship. But you, when you appear, I feel confused, blushing and heartbeating, so nervous that I don’t know what to do. I have never had this kind of liking and love for other people, Only you, really let me release this emotion."

"So don't be so cold to me, okay? Brother Van's matter is that I didn't handle it well. If you want to blame, you can blame me. Don't blame others."

Pie leaned on Kim's chest, and didn't look at her any more, tears welled up while talking. Kim felt sorry for her grievance, and his tense nerves relaxed a little, he raised his arms and embraced the person in front of him.

"Okay, okay, I didn't really want to blame you, it was my mistake."

Kim pulled the blanket over pie's body lightly.

"It's just that I still can't like Zhao Rufan. He always looks like a fake public servant. I hate this kind of hypocritical person."

Moreover, dare to challenge yourself openly and honestly like this, and still be full of enthusiasm for the hit show, it will definitely not be so easy.

Of course, Kim only kept the second half of the sentence in his heart.

"Don't say that, okay?"

Pie held Kim's shoulder with his left hand, and stroked her cheek with the other.

"Brother Van entrusted me with the task at hand this time, and it was a last resort. The other colleagues have their own tasks to be busy, and I am the only one who has nothing to do. And I am also a member of the newspaper office. I have been idle for so long, how can I not continue to work What? By then everyone will start gossiping about me."

"Tsk, who dares to gossip about you?" Kim gritted his teeth. "If you can't eat grapes, say sour grapes. Is this the attitude of journalists?"

"I think they really don't know the heights of the sky and the earth!"

"You are here again."

A fist fell into the chest, and Kim sighed softly as if in pain.

"It's because every time you have any difficulties, you ask someone to come forward to help me solve them, so some people think that I have found a financial backer. Kim, can you let me complete these two interviews on my own this time? I I want to prove to them that I, Su Xiaopai, am not an embroidered pillow."

Pie finally raised his head again with earnest eyes.

"Don't misunderstand Brother Van anymore, okay? I've known him for so many years, and his character won't be a problem."

"This……"

Kim looked directly into pie's eyes, seeming a bit shaken.

"decide as things go."

This is already the biggest concession, pie knew it in his heart.She rested her pillow on Kim's arm, and a light kiss fell on her sharp side face.

"I want you to get along well, after all..."

"You are all equally important to me."

Freeing one hand to pull the blanket up, pie turned his head wearily and closed his eyes. Kim's gaze followed her hair all the way down, and finally stopped on those seductive thin lips.

It turned out that it was equally important.

Kim's unnatural smile suddenly froze on his face.

☆, gossip

Anyone who has anything to do with journalism at work knows one golden rule.

People with the surname Ling should not be messed with.

Ling Zhongtian is like this, and so is Ling Zecan.Now, I'm afraid we have to add the second young master of the Ling family, Comrade Ling Zeqing, also known as Kim.

Ling Zhongtian seemed to have a natural dislike for these journalists who were holding a cannon-like camera all day long.After several encounters with these dedicated journalists, he decided not to accept any form of interviews from them.

They are too dedicated.

Therefore, Ling Zhongtian tried to use various methods to avoid their chasing and intercepting.He is not tired of cheating, and the old-fashioned methods are also very practical. He plays hide-and-seek games with these "old friends" every day, and he seems to have a good time.

Unfortunately, this peaceful situation did not last long.

On the dawn of Kim's birth, a man appeared.

The appearance of this person exposed Kim's immature face, together with Ling Zhongtian and Kim's mother's identity and family background, all exposed together, and even involved Air.

Ling Zhongtian was furious, and a precious huanghuali desk almost fell apart.

A person with a high degree of art is bold, and that person became famous in one fell swoop by virtue of his ignorant utilitarianism, earning a lot of money.He was paralyzed in the pile of money and fame all day long, but he didn't realize that a pair of big hands that could cover the sky and the earth were approaching him in the darkness.

Three days, in just three days, Ling Zhongtian made all the reports about them disappear without a trace.In such a huge news industry, as long as anyone who has handled the Ling family's reports, regardless of their position, they will all be laid off, and they will never be able to step into this industry again.Even the doctors and nurses who were on duty at the hospital on the day Kim was born innocently messed with Yang.Ling Zhongtian used his strong wrist to tell everyone that members of the Ling family must not be messed with.

As for the instigator of this whole incident, he also paid a very painful price during the whole night of hangover.

Afterwards, Ling Zhongtian learned from the painful experience and sent Kim to live in Australia thousands of miles away when she was still young.

It seems that in the blink of an eye, more than 20 years have passed.

In the past 20 years, Ling Zhongtian has never stopped thinking about Kim, and has never let go of his guilt towards her.Therefore, he can also accept Kim's indifference towards him.

There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and the sunny flowers and trees are easy to come in spring.

Kim is his child, and even more so, the child of his beloved wife.Therefore, she must not be bad.

It takes time for all wounds to heal, Ling Zhongtian is willing to wait.

"dad?"

Air gently opened the door and came in sideways, holding Ling Zhongtian's favorite tea in his hand.Ling Zhongtian looked away from the old photos on the desk, slowly raised his head, and smiled at her.

"Cancan, come and sit down."

"it is good."

Air put down the tray in his hand, moved a chair and took Ling Zhongtian to sit beside him.In her impression, her father was always so loving.His love for himself and Kim has been going on for decades and has never diminished.If it weren't for the turmoil in the past, what kind of happy scene would this home be like now?

Maybe it would be that I and Kim sat next to my father, listening to him tell some interesting stories about knowing and falling in love with my mother when I was young.

Air hated that paparazzi from the bottom of his heart.

"Cancan." Ling Zhongtian closed the document in front of him, with a calm tone, "This time I went to inspect with Qing'er, how do you feel?"

"Hmm~ calm and patient, and considerate of everything." Air nodded and smiled gratifiedly, "It's already a great job."

"That's good, the company will be handed over to Kim in the future, so I can rest assured."

Ling Zhongtian picked up his teacup and took a sip.

"Is there anyone watching you along the way?"

"Yes, and more than one."

Air frowned.

"Several groups, to be exact."

"Oh? Then it seems that I really did not expect it wrong."

Ling Zhongtian glanced at the tightly closed curtains, and his expression became serious.

"It seems that Wu Difei really spent a lot of money in order to bring me down."

"Dad, I don't understand."

Incredible was written on Air's face.

"For so many years, everyone has seen how you treat Uncle Wu. Why, they are still so dissatisfied."

"He's not going to settle for anything."

Ling Zhongtian put down the teacup in his hand, took a document bag from the drawer and handed it to Air.

"What can make him happy is always what he will get in the next second. Only by constantly asking for it can he get pleasure."

"have a look."

Air took the file bag and opened it, and pulled out a piece of paper, the contents of which could be described as shocking.I thought that Wu Difei was just tampering with the company's management, but I didn't expect him to be so bold that he even dared to break the law.

Air's palms were slightly sweating.

"This……"

She no longer knew what words to use to describe the shocking feeling at the moment.

"This is really... God."

"It turns out that he is not just an old fox, but also a wolf all the time." Ling Zhongtian leaned back in his chair wearily, "I treat him sincerely, but he has been scheming against me. He even hurt you."

"Bastard!" Air clenched the document in his hand, "How can such a person deserve that Kim and I have called him uncle for more than [-] years?"

"Painted painting difficult to draw tiger bone, Clothes make the man."

Ling Zhongtian raised his head, staring at the warm-colored chandelier on the ceiling, thoughtfully.

"I can't let him continue to do evil like this."

For no reason, there was a sudden silence in the air.Ling Zhongtian still looked up and said nothing, but Air seemed to be hesitating.

After a while, she opened her mouth in a very hesitant manner, as if she was facing a formidable enemy.

"dad……"

"What? What's the problem?"

Ling Zhongtian turned his head and saw Air's worried expression.

"Our plan, don't tell Kim, okay? I'm afraid, between her and pie, in case..."

"Jane...but she's also from their witch family."

Ling Zhongtian paused.

Do you want to tell Qing'er all about your plan?He lowered his eyes and thought carefully.This is a round, a round that must be disguised enough to pass Wu Difei, and a round that is enough to make him unable to make trouble again.Qinger, can I?That child who would rather bend than bend, can't tolerate a little sand in her eyes, can she hold her breath?

Ling Zhongtian shook his head helplessly.

"Let's keep Qing'er a secret, I can't bear her temper. The Wu family will ask you and Xiaobao to keep an eye on it, and don't give them any chance. As for Miss Su Xiaopai..."

He smiled, his eyes were full of gentleness and clarity.

"I believe that the bond between Qing'er and her is deep enough that this red thread cannot be broken."

"Just like... me and your mother."

After that, his eyes fell back to the photo in front of him.The woman in the photo is standing in the sun, with a smile on her face, and the love in her eyes is about to overflow. Seeing his father like this, Air felt a surge of warmth in his heart.

In fact, in the hearts of all of them, this great and loving wife and mother has never left.

The night was getting darker, and the sound of cars coming and going outside gradually disappeared.The autumn wind is bleak, and the fallen leaves are rolled up and scattered around.Ling Zhongtian was a little tired, half closed his eyes, and fell back on the chair again. Air covered him with a thin quilt, adjusted the air conditioner to a suitable temperature, and quietly closed the door of the study.

Phew, Air leaned his back against the wall and let out a long breath.

Kim, I'm sorry, for the next period of time, you and pie must persevere.

Air straightened the creases on his shirt, took out his phone and quickly pressed a few keys to send, then went upstairs with a sigh of relief.

I am afraid that this night is doomed to sleepless.

In fact, just as Air expected, Kim woke up again before [-] o'clock in the morning.

Yes, again. Kim can't remember how many times she woke up suddenly like this for no reason this night, she only knows that this night, she had a very bad time.

The whole body didn't seem to be particularly comfortable, Kim held his breath, turned his head to look at pie who was still sleeping beside her, put his arms around her waist, and retreated slightly.

Tossing and turning all night, the insecurity in Kim's heart was gradually magnified by the thick night.Although he was very unwilling to admit it, the fear gushing from the inside out was too real to be ignored.

This feeling is exactly the same as when my mother died.

Kim frowned in pain and closed her eyes.

It always feels like something is about to happen, but please, don't let anything dramatic happen.

The alarm clock that was set last night rang on time, but Kim didn't pay attention, and was shocked a few times, the little drowsiness that was still there was completely gone, and his mind was a little blank.In contrast, Pie did everything as usual, stretched out a hand from under the quilt, and flipped the switch deftly.Sensing the movement of the person beside him, Kim stopped the hand that was retracting.She slowed down her breathing, closed her eyes slightly, and pretended that she was still asleep and nothing had happened.

The people around raised their heads, sat up, changed their clothes, and walked to the door of the bedroom. Kim didn't need to open her eyes, everything that was so familiar flashed by in her mind like an old movie that had been shown many times.

Then, came the moment of closing.

The door was opened lightly, half of pie's body was already sideways outside, and with only one step left, the whole person went out. Kim suddenly felt a little reluctant, she wanted to jump up and pull pie back, but her body seemed to be frozen and refused to obey.

She just kept the original posture, and she seemed to be angry in her heart, but she didn't know whose anger it was.

There was another sound of socks rubbing against the floor in the room, soft and warm. Kim turned his back to the door as if nothing had happened, his movements were very natural.She still frowned slightly, waiting for the crisp sound of the door lock being locked behind her, but unexpectedly, she was embraced by a warm body.

Kim's drooping eyelashes fluttered silently.

Maybe pie saw through her pretending to be calm and breezy, or maybe her shortness of breath from time to time exposed her heart, in short, pie's embrace is filled with overflowing tenderness. Kim didn't make a sound, enjoying the warmth quietly. The unique fragrance of pie's body made her temporarily let go of her guard, and gradually, everything in her head began to blur.

When pie pulled back the quilt and got out of bed again, kim seemed to have fallen into a light sleep with peace of mind.Carefully helping her tuck the corner of the quilt, pie let out a sigh of relief.In fact, how could she not know?Kim last night was really frizzy.Tossing and turning all night, feeling unhappy in her heart, wanting to talk but afraid of embarrassing herself, really made her feel distressed. Pie stood in front of the bathroom mirror and raised his head, looked at his bloodless cheeks, and shook his head.
