"You, are you back?"

Gu Ting stretched out his long arms and pulled her into his arms, ran his fingers through her hair, and went around her neck to the back, lowered his head and kissed the corner of her lips, pressed her forehead and asked in a low voice, "Where are you going? " 
Jiang Xiqian's breathing was a little unsteady when he was teased by him, her fingers hanging on her legs were slightly curled up, her voice was as soft as cotton candy, "Well, I invited a friend for afternoon tea."

"Can I bring my family?" The man's warm breath blew by his ears, his long arms wrapped around her, and wrapped around her slender waist from under the coat, his voice was deep and tender.

Jiang Xiqian closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and pulled back her soul that was about to be bewitched by him to the point of sinking.

She stretched out her hand to straighten his collar, her voice was gentle like a pool of spring water, "No, baby, it's not convenient to bring your family, just stay at home and wait for me to come back, Ang?"

Gu Ting's teeth were itchy from being scratched by her gentle voice, but he didn't want to embarrass her at all, he just threatened her fiercely, "I'll clean you up at night."

Jiang Xiqian drove to the appointment place with Tao Luowei.

I don't know if Tao Luowei did it on purpose or not, but this coffee shop is the place where she and Tao Luowei met for the first time.

When Jiang Xiqian got out of the car, she saw the red coupe that Tao Luowei often drove.

It seems that people arrived before her.

Jiang Xiqian entered the coffee shop, and soon a beautiful waitress greeted her. Jiang Xiqian nodded politely, "I'll look for someone in the box on the second floor, thank you."

The waiter guided her to the aisle of the box on the second floor, and then retreated.

Jiang Xiqian reached the door of the box, took a deep breath, pushed the door open and entered.

With a glance, she saw Tao Luowei sitting by the window with a thin figure.

The sense of alienation from the past is gone, and the long curly hair is tied into a ponytail, which makes her look a little more energetic and angry.

It's just that the lonely and lonely temperament on her body, and the black turtleneck sweater on her body, made the air around her a little heavy.

Tao Luowei turned her face when she heard footsteps.

Her eyes, as silent as stagnant water, finally trembled when she saw Jiang Xiqian.

Tao Luowei saw her long hair and shawls, and her vivid and clear eyes seemed to have countless butterflies flying out, adding a bit of color to this lonely afternoon.

An elegant dress, minimalist and extravagant.

Jane's sense of clothing design complements her luxurious and high-end temperament.

she is pretty.

The beauty is captivating, but it is quiet and restrained.

There is no vulgarity of the common people, nor the arrogance and domineering of the young lady of the family.

To her, beauty might just be an expression.

Tao Luowei laughed at herself.

Why didn't she dare to admit it before?
Losing at the hands of such a woman didn't seem so unacceptable.

She once thought that she had crushed Jiang Xiqian in every aspect, but the truth was that she lost at the very beginning of the comparison.

She doesn't have the pride and self-confidence that Jiang Xiqian has naturally, and she never has.

Jiang Xiqian took the bag off her shoulder and put it aside, then sat down opposite Tao Luowei.

A scent of flowers gradually wafted from the silent air, which was the scent from the delicate refreshments on the table.

I don't know how long the confrontation lasted, but Tao Luowei suddenly laughed.

It's just that the smile looks a bit bitter.

She stood up and poured a cup of black tea for Jiang Xiqian, then sat back and leaned back in the chair, took a sip from her teacup, and said softly, "I'm leaving."

Jiang Xiqian nodded, with no expression on his face, "You already said it when you called yesterday."

She is not interested in Tao Luowei's going or staying, as long as Tao Luowei doesn't interfere with her and Gu Tingshen's life, she can do anything.

Tao Luowei turned the teacup in her hand, looked at Jiang Xiqian with complicated eyes, "There are some things, I should say sorry to you."

Jiang Xi looked at her with raised eyebrows, but said nothing.

Tao Luowei knew that she was waiting for her explanation, so she smiled wryly and lowered her voice a few decibels, "About the kidnapping of Jiang Chengyou..."

Jiang Xiqian interrupted her with a wave of his hand, "It's all over, and you are also forced by others. Although I am not qualified to forgive you for Chengyou, I can understand you. As for other things, I think you should apologize It's not me, but Gu Tingshen."

Mentioning Gu Tingshen, Tao Luowei's expression, which she could barely maintain, cracked a little bit.

Pain gradually spread across her palm-sized face.

Many times, crashes happen silently.

Even after a long, long time, Jiang Xiqian could still clearly remember how the sun shone across Tao Luowei's pain-soaked face on this winter afternoon.

It was a pretty face, no doubt about it.

But it is so sad and gloomy when it is illuminated by the warm sun.

Big teardrops rolled down from the corners of her eyes.

Jiang Xiqian took out a tissue and handed it to her, Tao Luowei took it naturally.

She lowered her head, wiped her face with a pure white tissue, and it was gradually soaked in smudges.

It seemed that it took a lot of effort before Tao Luowei wiped away the tears from the embankment, then raised her head and blinked fiercely, completely forcing back the tears.

She took a deep breath, suppressing the restlessness in her heart with a low and deep voice,
"I was too stupid and persistent. I dreamed of marrying him since I was very young. It seemed that that was the only ultimate goal in my life. He was a cold person. Even though I followed him for so many years, his attitude towards me was always the same. Indifference, if it weren't for your appearance, I saw him with warmth, maybe I could continue to deceive myself, thinking that he just doesn't like to express."

Tao Luowei smiled lonely, looked past Jiang Xiqian, and continued, "Is there anything he doesn't like to express? He just didn't meet the person he wanted to express. It was you who made him fall from the sky to the world of mortals. There is nothing wrong with the world of mortals, there is joy and anger, there is joy and suffering. But to me, it is a kind of death penalty."

Jiang Xiqian met her dissatisfied gaze, his eyes drooped slightly, and the phone screen lit up.

It was a WeChat message from Gu Tingshen: Is the afternoon tea delicious?

Jiang Xiqian glanced at Tao Luowei, then lowered her head and slapped: "It's not good, it's a bit bitter."

After clicking send, Jiang Xiqian put away the phone and signaled Tao Luowei to continue.

Although Jiang Xiqian didn't say anything or even make an expression, the sense of happiness on her face permeated her whole body.

Like a sharp thorn, it pierced deeply in Tao Luowei's heart.

Although she has decided to give up that pointless insistence, she still feels pain.

"I really like him, but now, I don't even have the right to tell him that I love him in front of him. I'm just a fake daughter of an ordinary wealthy family, and I don't even have the word love, I feel like it's an insult to him."

Jiang Xiqian's eyes glanced around Tao Luowei's face, and smiled faintly, "You love him, it is your right as an individual in life, maybe you will be born with a high or low status, there will be a lot of wealth, but Love doesn’t, the reason why you feel that you can’t say love to him is because you have vulgarized the word.”

Vulgarization.

Tao Luowei chewed the word silently, but couldn't deny it.

The Tao family is a wealthy family, and she has been immersed in it since she was a child, learning to be dignified, virtuous, peaceful and far-reaching, but the vulgar and snobbish that is revealed everywhere in the Tao family has long eroded every cell in her body.

In her conception, love is the right family, a continuation of the fusion of noble bloodlines.

But she forgot that her blood was not actually noble.

But what's the point of saying this now?

"Anyway, what happened between me and Gu Tingye was not what I wanted. If I could start all over again, I would definitely love him from beginning to end with an innocent body and a pure heart, but it is a pity that , after I left the Tao family, I could only kneel in the grave of my heart day and night to repent."

"What I regret is not this endless love, but my own life that cannot be repeated. All things about love and family affection, in retrospect, everything can only make me ashamed, annoyed and painful."

"Jiang Xiqian, do you know? In fact, I really envy you, not because you can get his love, or because you can have him completely, but because you have been facing this relationship from beginning to end.
Fearless, you will pierce the thorns with pride, you have what it takes to make yourself happy, and I don't. "

"I'm leaving, maybe I won't see you in the world from now on, regardless of the past, I sincerely wish you happiness."

After Tao Luowei left, Jiang Xiqian sat alone in the box for a long time.

The figure of Tao Luowei outside the window and downstairs was gradually blurred by light and shadow, and finally turned into a gorgeous red phantom and drove away from her life.

Jiang Xiqian did not know until now what Gu Tingye had done to Tao Luowei.

She really never imagined that the evil of human nature can be so despicable.

No matter how hateful Tao Luowei's previous actions were, how pathetic they are in this emotional hunt.

When Jiang Xiqian returned to Jinshuiwan, it was almost dusk.

When the vehicle drove into the villa, Jiang Xiqian saw Gu Tingshen standing in the shade of a tree under the setting sun from a distance, tall and tall, lonely and unruly.

Jiang Xiqian drove the car directly beside Gu Tingshen.

As soon as the car stopped, the door was pulled open from the outside.

When Jiang Xiqian got out of the car, Gu Tingshen took the bag from her shoulder naturally, and then glanced at her frowning face, "Why, the afternoon tea is so bitter?"

"Well, it's really bitter." Jiang Xi's cold hands were wrapped in his warm palms, and he let him lead her forward, but when she raised her eyes, she saw his handsome profile and the depression in her heart. The spirit has receded a lot.

Probably sensing that she was in a bad mood, Gu Ting asked her with deep sideways eyes, "Who did you meet this afternoon?"

Jiang Xiqian stopped, pursed her lips and took a deep breath, "Tao Luowei."

In an instant, a strange atmosphere surged in the air.

This name, which has not appeared in each other's topic for a long time, seems to carry some kind of heavy memory.

The eyes of the two intersected in the soft light and shadow of the setting sun, and then hurriedly staggered away.

A few seconds later, Gu Ting turned his head deeply, was silent, and asked, "What did she tell you?"
