Rich Contract: Kiss Goodbye, Paranoid

Although Xia Mochen didn't express anything else, from the way he raised his eyebrows, An Xueying could almost conclude that this person was very happy.

Although the two of them had little communication in the afternoon, Xia Mochen was obsessed with work and An Xueying was obsessed with novels, the two hardly interfered with each other.But An Xueying felt that it would be nice for the two of them to stay together quietly like this once in a while.

She could feel the obvious difference between this kind of time and when she was alone. Although she couldn't explain it clearly, she could feel it. It was probably an invisible, intangible, and indescribable feeling.Probably the feeling during this quiet time is the process of cultivating feelings.

Near the normal dinner time, she quietly went to the door of the office and knocked on the door twice.

"Dinner... Shall I eat with you, or..."

"You should eat with your parents."

Xia Mochen didn't have any expression on his face, but An Xueying felt that his words had other meanings.

"Okay, then I'll come to accompany you after dinner."

An Xueying left immediately after saying this, so she didn't notice Xia Mochen muttered in a low voice: "Who cares about you coming to accompany..."

If it was in the past, he should have said this sentence aloud to her indifferently, but today it turned into a whisper inadvertently.

Xia Mochen's dinner time was about half an hour later than the normal dinner time at home. Even if he finished the work within this time period before dinner, he would not ask someone to advance the dinner time, let alone go downstairs on his own initiative.He might hang around on the balcony and enjoy the wind, he might read a book in the living room, and he might stay by himself somewhere in the room.

When he passed by the desk in the living room, he immediately noticed something that shouldn't be on the desk - the novel and notebook brought by An Xueying.The novel was nothing special, but the notebook aroused Xia Mochen's interest. He picked up the notebook, looked through it, shook his head speechlessly, and put it back again.

"This woman... dare to be more boring?"

Maybe he didn't think of what to do, so he took a wheelchair and went around the room, and also checked by the way, she really didn't touch anything.Keeping promises and obeying rules are both advantages, and Xia Mochen is also very satisfied.

But he didn't mean to praise her especially because of this. His dinner time was still just eating quietly by himself. An Xueying had something in her heart. Considering that he was disturbed while eating, he definitely wouldn't be upset. Well, she decided to wait until he finished eating.Anyway, it's not a particularly urgent matter, but don't say no.

She came back to realize that he was looking at her.

"Uh... what's wrong?"

"...can you stop staring at me?"

"what happened?"

Xia Mochen rolled his eyes. Although he was speechless, he still said, "Do you like being stared at when you eat?"

An Xueying smiled and said, "I'm just observing you, you don't have to worry about it."

"...What is there to observe when I eat? Have you never seen a man eat?"

"Well... I just want to observe you. To understand you, naturally I need to understand everything in detail, including the little things in life. Isn't observing your meals also a way to understand you?"

"..." Xia Mochen was too lazy to argue with her.

"Anyway, I won't bother you, you can eat at ease."

"...You stare at me like this and want me to eat in peace?"

"Why, are you... shy?"

"..." Xia Mochen finally gave up talking to her and continued eating.

Under An Xueying's burning eyes, he finished the meal with difficulty.She diligently put away the tableware and tableware, and soon returned to his room.

"What do you do after dinner? Straight to work?"

Xia Mochen ignored her and went directly to the balcony.

"Oh, I see. Are you going to get some air on the balcony? I'll accompany you." An Xueying quickly caught up with him, but she never had a chance to help him push the wheelchair—an electric wheelchair, he is in control own hands.

"Well... it really feels good to have some wind here in the evening."

Xia Mochen raised his eyes, saw her with her arms outstretched as if bathed in the evening breeze, and couldn't help asking, "Don't you have a balcony in your room?"

"Yes, but... it seems that the air circulation is not as smooth as yours."

"...Are you looking for an excuse to come to my room every night?"

"I don't mean that, I'm just telling the truth."

"It sounds like you're just making excuses to me. If you want to come to me, just say so. You don't have to make excuses that are not nutritious or quality."

An Xueying raised her eyebrows and looked at him. Why did she seem to... accidentally heard something else from what he said?Of course her excuses are fake, but he wants her to make excuses to be true, right?But this time An Xueying also didn't expose him because...she wanted to solve the problem hidden in her heart as soon as possible.

"By the way, I have something to ask you."

Suddenly becoming so serious, Xia Mochen raised his head in confusion: "What's the matter?"

"Next Wednesday... what day is it?"

Xia Mochen sighed expressionlessly: "...It's Xiaoying's birthday."

He knew she would ask, and he didn't want to hide it.

An Xueying's reaction was very flat, she didn't even feel surprised, she just nodded and said calmly: "Oh... since it's Miss Xi's birthday, it must mean holding a birthday party, right? Are you planning to go?"

"I..." Of course I almost blurted out a few words, but fortunately Xia Mochen caught them in time and didn't say those words, "Well, I will go. As a friend, is there any problem?"

Of course he knew that his status was different now. He thought that it would be impossible for a husband to be so confident when he was going to other women's birthday parties. With a clear conscience, he shouldn't have that attitude.

But in An Xueying's eyes, his attitude wasn't much better. She still suppressed the anger in her heart, took a deep breath, and nodded again: "Well, yes, no problem. But... stand by your wife Position, I have no other requirements, and I don't want to hinder your social activities with your friends, but...can you keep a little distance from your ex-girlfriend?"

In this matter, Xia Mochen couldn't be more confident. Every time he thought of Xi Meiying's performance when he saw him, he even felt a little headache.

"... I will try my best, and I will remind her, but... if she doesn't listen to me, I can't help it. We grew up together and have been used to it for so many years. It's okay if she can't change it for a while. Excuse me."

"It's justifiable..." An Xueying murmured the word in a low voice, nodding her head as she tried to suppress her rising anger.

"What, are you jealous?"

An Xueying immediately smiled and said "No".

"It's not jealous... what is that? I see that your face is obviously not right?"

"You can still tell..." An Xueying gritted her teeth and muttered in a low voice, "But I didn't expect that your ability to read words...is not very good."

"...What do you mean?" Xia Mochen frowned.

"Do you think... anger and jealousy are the same emotion?"

Xia Mochen slightly raised his eyebrows: "Oh, you are angry. But the reason why you are angry is not because of jealousy?"

"...Sorry, no. But from your wife's standpoint, I simply think that it's not good for you to be so close to other women after marriage. I'm afraid other people will misunderstand when they see it."

Xia Mochen snorted coldly: "...Is it so difficult to admit being jealous? In short, I have a clear conscience. If you are jealous, you are jealous. Save unnecessary worry."

"Unnecessary worry... what is unnecessary worry?"

"You're so smart, how could you not know? It's you, what you said last night, that made me suddenly think, should I investigate your relationship history."

This time it was An Xueying's turn to frown in confusion: "What do you mean? What are you referring to what I said yesterday? As for my relationship history, I think both my father and you should have thoroughly investigated it long ago." , what else is there to investigate?"

"Some things, no matter how careful the investigation is, there will inevitably be omissions. Besides, the most accurate answer to things like feelings can only be obtained from the mouth of the person concerned. As for what I mean... it is about "White Night Journey" of those."

Oh, obviously he was referring to the passage about "Ryoji".

An Xueying's brows relaxed a little, but they didn't completely relax: "My relationship history is blank, no matter how much you investigate and ask me, it won't change. As for what I said... What's the matter? Question?"

"...Your words will make people who hear you think that you already have a 'Liang Si' in your heart, tell me, who is that person?" Xia Mochen's sudden serious appearance is really a bit scary.

But An Xueying laughed helplessly: "Are you over-interpreting? I really hope that I can have a 'Ryoji', but I don't have the problem. If I do, do you think I will?" marry you?"

"..."

What she said was really unpleasant, but it sounded reasonable, but Xia Mochen would not back down so easily.

"It's very simple. There can be a hundred reasons for a woman to give up the man in her heart and marry a completely strange man, but with you, only one reason is very sufficient-I am richer than that person, and I now have The wealth that that man can never earn in his lifetime."

An Xueying smiled helplessly: "...It seems that there is no way to deny it. It is true that any man on the street is not as rich as you. But I have to tell you clearly that I have never had any money in my heart. Believe it or not if you have passed such a person."

Although she once had such a person in her heart, he was not her "Ryoji", and he was far behind in terms of love and desire.
