Chapter 324 Close Your Eyes
Gritting his teeth, Ye Xi pulled his face, turned and walked to the living room's sofa to sit down.
Seeing her quietly fiddling with her phone, Qiao Jinglian's demonic face revealed a bright smile.
He got up and walked in front of Ye Xi, and used two slender, jade-like fingers to pick up Ye Xi's phone, "Stop it, there's no signal in this kind of rain."
No signal?
Ye Xi's eyes straightened, and his small face turned green.
Crazy! Where in the world is this place without a signal?
"And then there's the evening. According to the weather forecast, the storm will continue until tomorrow night." Qiao Jinglian sat on the tea table in front of Ye Xi, a smile on his handsome face.
His tone was extremely light, as he informed Ye Xi.
What?
The storm will last until tomorrow?
Ten million mud horses instantly surged through Ye Xi's mind.
Ye Xi grabbed the phone angrily, he anxiously stood up and knocked on the screen with his round fingers.
If the weather continued until tomorrow night, then her cell phone would be dead on the way.
But without the signal, how could she call that person?
If she were to disappear for two days and one night without a sound, would that person think that she had run away from home?
Ye Xi thought of the last time when the man was furious, and still felt fear.
Gritting his teeth, Ye Xi frowned and looked at Qiao Jinglian, "Brother Lian, you, can you send me back?"
"What do you think?" Qiao Jinglian laughed sinisterly.
Ye Xi saw that he was unwilling to do so. Moreover, with such a huge storm, it was not safe to drive back to the city. She did not care about her life, he could not possibly let her do the same, right?
Closing his eyes, Ye Xi went all out, "Then give me the car keys, I'll drive myself back."
"Ye Xi, are you joking? "Even the taxi drivers would have to leave home in this weather. You're just a rookie who hasn't even touched the steering wheel, do you want to live?"
Qiao Jinglian glanced at Ye Xi, then turned and sat down on the sofa with his arms spread wide open. He narrowed his eyes and smiled at Ye Xi, "Also, Brother Lian brought you here today, I have no intention of letting you go. So, save energy, and obediently accompany Brother Lian for two days.
Ye Xi glared at him, "Despicable!"
Qiao Jinglian raised his eyebrows, and looked at Ye Xi as if he was speaking whatever he wanted.
Ye Xi was so angry that he wanted to beat someone up.
Qiao Jinglian looked at her red eyes and sighed in his heart. He slightly straightened his body, reached out to grab Ye Xi's arm and pulled her, who was unwilling, to sit next to him.
lifted his chin up lightly with his long finger and looked at Ye Xi with eyes full of helplessness. He said softly, "Xi Xi, it's already like this now. Besides, you and I haven't had a good talk in years, and today is my birthday, can't you be happier? "
"Or could it be that in your heart, the Brother Lian truly makes you hate him so much that you would rather leave without caring for the safety of your life, than to stay together with the Brother Lian?"
Ye Xi looked at his gloomy face and was a little a
oyed.
Frowning, Ye Xi took the initiative to hold Qiao Jinglian's hand and seriously said, "Brother Lian, you know that I will never hate you."
"I'm just, just really anxious. There's no signal here, I, I can't contact the outside world, I'm afraid of him ?" They're worried about me, and that's why I can't wait to leave. "
And ?
Ye Xi looked at Qiao Jinglian worriedly.
They were no longer small children, nor were they in the same condition as they were a few years ago.
She had a husband and a baby in her belly.
She didn't want to know what his purpose was in bringing her to the mountain in spite of the storm.
But for a man and a woman alone together for two days, how could it be clear when word of this spread?
"OK." "If this is what you're worried about, and there's a landline in the ancient castle, you can call Sister Xu and tell her that you're here. I believe she won't worry if she knows that you're here with me."
Qiao Jinglian stared at Ye Xi and said.
Ye Xi's heartstrings trembled.
If she suddenly called Lan to tell her that she wasn't worried about Qiao Jinglian and her being together, wouldn't it be weird?
In addition, her actions would only make Lan Jue worry.
The matter of Lan Shan falling to the ground in the morning was enough to make Lan Lan worry. She didn't want to trouble her again because of her.
Lowering his long eyelashes, Ye Xi muttered to himself for a moment before slowly nodding his head.
Seeing her nod, Qiao Jinglian's eyes lit up, her beautiful face becoming even more enchanting.
However.
When Ye Xi used his landline to dial a certain someone's number, the other party's phone was already off.
At 8 PM, Ye Xi sat cross-legged on the windowsill, looking out the window at the rain and mist. His expression was serious, and his frown did not relax for even a moment.
After the afternoon call, she made a few more calls, but the phone was still ringing.
This situation had only occurred once in the past few months since their marriage.
That time, he had returned to B City from C City, where he was on the plane, so his phone had been turned off.
Since then, she had never been able to get through to him on her cell phone.
Ye Xi once again thought of the call he had received at noon. The unease in his heart was stronger than ever.
Suddenly, the living room that was originally brightly lit fell into darkness.
Ye Xi was so shocked that her eyes opened wide in the darkness, her small fists clenching tightly.
"Xi Xi ?"
Qiao Jinglian's unique roguish voice came out from the stairs.
Then a light that ignited the darkness spilled down the stairs.
Ye Xi blinked his eyes and looked towards the stairs.
Qiao Jinglian who was dressed in a white suit appeared at the stairs. With a red rose shaped candle in his left hand, he walked down the stairs like an elegant prince.
Ye Xi held his breath, slowly got down from the windowsill, and looked at Qiao Jinglian in confusion.
Qiao Jinglian slowly walked in front of Ye Xi. Under the light of the candle flame, the peach-colored face was so beautiful that it could suffocate people.
He reached out his slender right hand towards Ye Xi.
"..." Ye Xi was as ignorant as a child. She pursed her lips and looked at his hands, then looked at him in confusion.
Under the candlelight, the corner of Qiao Jinglian's mouth raised into a smile. His right hand descended downwards, and gently grabbed onto Ye Xi's small, fair hand.
"..." "Where to?" Ye Xi asked suspiciously.
Qiao Jinglian did not say a word, and pulled her up the stairs.
Ye Xi felt that he was being mysterious, and followed him upstairs curiously and suspiciously.
Qiao Jinglian brought Ye Xi to the second floor's double room and stopped. Instead of immediately pushing the door open, he looked at Ye Xi and said, "Xi Xi, close your eyes."
