073: disappointed
"You came back so early."
Looking at Shang Yan who had just stepped up the stairs, Xu Li smiled and could not help but speed up the steps on his feet. However, the cotton slippers on his feet did not seem to be so obedient. When he was still four steps away from Shang Yan, he walked directly
Stumbled together.
As soon as Shang Yan raised his eyes, he saw a beautiful shadow coming straight towards him.
Without any time to be surprised, he immediately threw away the briefcase in his hand, caught her firmly, and directly picked her up by the waist.
Xu Li instinctively hugged his neck, slowly recovered from the crisis, and slowly raised her head to meet his cold eyes.
"Why are you running blindly down the stairs? Is there a beast chasing you behind?"
His cold words were full of reproach, his brows were furrowed, and even the look on his face was gloomy.
It gives people a sense of deja vu that he is on the verge of getting angry.
Xu Li jumped off him, stood firmly, and glared at him angrily, "Isn't it an accident that you came back so early?"
"Since I promised you, I will come back on time." He pursed his lips, bent over and picked up the briefcase, "I will go upstairs to change clothes first."
Xu Li looked at his back and frowned, feeling that something was not right.
When she went back to the room to look for him, she did not see his figure. Instead, she saw the door to the study room was ajar.
She found a dark blue Red Eagle gift box in her unpacked suitcase and went directly to the study.
At the door, I heard his cold voice coming from inside, "The financial data and marketing reports reported in California are not quite right. You ask Cheng Tao to take someone there tomorrow to find out where Lantian's land is tunneled."
If the group wants to bite, let them go, and the fish will almost be hooked."
"Well, Dusen Resort's summer travel plan tells them to make changes as soon as possible. If it doesn't come out at the end of this month, all of them should get out."
It was easy to hear a bit of anger in his words, and Xu Li poked her head in.
At this time, Shang Yan took off his majestic and stereotyped suit and put on a simple dark gray round-neck pullover sweater, with a pair of black casual pants underneath. The overall look was very homely and casual, but also exceptionally clean and refreshing.
Perhaps he heard the movement at the door, Shang Yan hung up the phone and looked over.
"Why are you here?"
"I just went to the room to find that you were not there. I saw that your study door was open, so I thought you should be here, so I came here." Xu Li opened the door generously and walked in, "Is there something wrong with the company?"
"Not really, there's a little problem over there in California." Shang Yan closed the laptop on the table, accidentally noticed the box she was holding, and glanced at her suspiciously.
"I brought it from xz. I think it's quite special. Even though people don't know it, it's quite collectible. The most important thing is that it has my signature on it, embroidered stitch by stitch."
Xu Li handed the box to him, her brisk tone full of pride, "Open it and take a look."
Shang Yan reached out to take the box and slowly opened it. Inside lay a delicate handicraft sheepskin wine bag. The color and pattern were very distinctive. The most special thing was that the word "Xu Li" was embroidered on the lower right side of the pattern.
The embroidery is not very good, but it can be seen that it has been clearly put into use.
The dark clouds covering his heart gradually dispersed, and there was a hint of joy, but there was no big change on his face.
In Xu Li's eyes, it just didn't look like enthusiasm or surprise.
She asked calmly, "Don't you like it?"
"Yes, I like it."
After he finished speaking, the room was quiet for a few seconds, and Xu Li asked, "Do you know what happened on the hot searches this afternoon?"
Shang Yan raised his eyes and looked at her without saying a word.
Although he didn't believe the reports there, it would be a lie to say that he didn't mind.
Moreover, he had waited at the airport for two hours yesterday with full expectation. Although he did not greet her in advance, it was only because he was willing.
There is still some disappointment.
What's more, knowing that she was having dinner with another man.
That possessiveness and selfish desire exploded together, enough to swallow him up.
Therefore, the reason why he came back so early today was because he wanted to hear her explanation with his own ears. Even the simplest sentence, 'That's nonsense on the Internet, don't take it to heart' would make him feel better.
"Do you believe it?" Xu Li looked at him steadily.
Of course he knew what this sentence meant, and he didn't think about it. He just replied coldly, "I don't believe it."
"Since you don't believe it, what do you think about it?"
Shang Yan frowned, "Shouldn't you explain to me about such a scandal?"
"I have nothing to explain. I am a decent person. I also sent you a message yesterday. I told you that I met a friend at the airport and had a meal together. I didn't expect to be photographed by the paparazzi. That's it.
Simple, you say you don't believe it, but you still want me to explain. After all, do you also suspect that I had a child with another man before marrying you? "
Shang Yan frowned, "I didn't mean that."
"Then what do you mean?"
Xu Li thought very simply. Even her mother-in-law Han Qianyue didn't believe such an outrageous thing, and Shang Yan, a person who had been with her for more than four years, should not believe it.
In the past four years or so, I can't say how good their relationship is and how deep their trust in each other is, but at least they know the basics.
What's more, his current attitude made her feel like he was questioning her.
At least, during this period of time, she could clearly feel that their relationship had progressed and changed.
But now why do you feel so vulnerable in the face of misunderstanding?
Shang Yan looked at the sullen look on her face and moved his lips, but he really couldn't say anything sweet or coaxing, so he could only say lightly, "Go down and eat!"
But I was regretting it in my heart, why did I end up like this with a crossbow drawn and a sword drawn?
He obviously came back to eat with her, not to quarrel with her.
On the dining table, instead of the warmth and lightness of the morning, there was something eerie and cold.
Xu Li also felt unhappy. It was so unfair for her to be misunderstood by such a scandal.
Tang Xin is right.
The cerebellums of those marketing accounts and paparazzi must have been wrapped up for at least twenty years, otherwise most people would not be able to compile such a stupid story.
She suddenly had the urge to dig into the ancestral graves of those scoundrels.
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. Xu Li simply dug the spoon into the rice, then put it down heavily. Without looking at him, she said coldly, "I'm done eating, you can eat it yourself."
After saying that, he went upstairs expressionlessly.
Shang Yan looked at her bowl of barely touched rice, pursed his cold lips into a straight line, and looked at Uncle Lin aside, "Heat these dishes for Madam, so that she won't be hungry in the middle of the night and have nothing to eat."
"yes."
Uncle Lin was also taken aback by Xu Li's anger and thought to himself, wasn't the couple's conversation sweet this morning?
There was also a farewell kiss.
Why did it change at night?
The lady is so angry that she can’t even eat, why doesn’t the gentleman try to comfort her?
