C16 Provoke
The bowl was smashed into pieces, and the thick, sticky liquid splashed high into the air, soaking the bed. Zhou Xingchen's sleeves and coat were also stained with liquid. A few drops of the liquid stuck to Xia Qiner's skirt, making it look mottled. Her playful and fresh dress turned from light pink to dark red.
"Liang Jia!" Zhou Xingchen raised his voice. "What are you doing?"
Although he knew she did not mean to do it, he thought she was going against him. Zhou Xingchen was furious. He frowned and his eyes were full of anger.
"I'm sorry." Liang Jia was a little frightened and did not know what to do. She looked up and saw a pair of narrow and handsome but angry eyes. These eyes were very similar to Liang Wenrui. Her heart trembled. She took a deep breath and closed her eyes slightly. When she opened her eyes, she had already put on the mask that she had never been willing to take off in the past.
Liang Jia's fingers were slender. She took out two packets of tissues from the drawer and handed them to the two of them. She said apologetically, "I'm really sorry, Miss Xia. I dirtied your dress." Her expression was very sincere. Xia Qiner's heart was very angry but she could not be angry in front of Zhou Xingchen.
"I'm sorry." Liang Jia said gently and used a tissue to wipe Zhou Xingchen's clothes.
Xia Qiner's eyes turned. She quickly held Liang Jia's hand and said with a sweet smile, "You don't need to wipe it. This thing can't be wiped clean. You need to rest." She turned her head and said to Zhou Xingchen, "Xingchen, I will go back later and take your clothes back to wash. I will bring them back."
Zhou Xingchen looked at Xia Qiner's sweet face. Her understanding words were like the spring wind in his ears. She was indeed the person he had always missed. He nodded and held Xia Qiner's hand. He said, "Thank you for your hard work."
Xia Qiner peeled off Zhou Xingchen's coat and said sweetly, "It's okay. You are so busy and Liang Jia's health is not good. I am the only one who can help you."
At this moment, the scene was Liang Jia leaning against the bed. Another cute and playful girl was helping her husband take off his clothes. On the white floor, there was a broken bowl and a bowl of rice porridge. But the atmosphere in the room was very harmonious.
Although she felt that this harmonious atmosphere could be broken at any time.
The atmosphere instantly became ambiguous. Liang Jia tilted her head uncomfortably and looked out the window.
Zhou Xingchen saw that she was a little unnatural. That little bit of anger just now had actually disappeared. Instead, he was a little excited. Could this be the pleasure of revenge?
He didn't really understand what he was doing. Liang Jia was impeccable in every aspect, and she was especially good to him. She was virtuous and gentle, generous and proper. She was completely obedient to him. Jin Xuan once said he was not satisfied. However, what he hated the most was Liang Jia's kindness and gentleness. She was generous and proper. She was completely obedient to him!
His phone suddenly vibrated. Zhou Xingchen pressed the answer button. That person said something, and Zhou Xingchen's expression became even more serious.
"Now?" Zhou Xingchen asked the other end of the phone. It seemed that there was something urgent that he needed to take care of personally.
Xia Qiner used her delicate finger to point at Zhou Xingchen. When he looked at her, she pointed at Liang Jia and then pointed at herself. In the end, she smiled, meaning, "Go and do your work. I am here."
Zhou Xingchen understood and smiled gently at her. He looked at the person on the other end of the phone and said seriously and fiercely, "I know. Give me 30 minutes."
He hung up the phone and kissed Xia Xiner's smooth forehead. Then he turned around and left.
Once Zhou Xingchen left, Liang Jia faced this woman who took her fiancé away at the wedding alone. This daughter had embarrassed both her and Zhou family. Although she didn't need to marry Zhou Xingchen for the time being, she really didn't want to give her a good look. However, the education she had received since she was young didn't allow her to reveal her true feelings.
Therefore, Liang Jia's lips curved into a perfect arc. She said gently, "Miss Xia, I am fine now. Actually, you do not need to take care of me if you are still busy."
"I'm not busy." Xia Xiner smiled and shrugged. "Or rather, Xingchen's matter now is my matter."
Xia Xiner smiled. She squatted down and tidied up the porridge that had just been spilled. She said, "Mr. Zhou asked Xingchen to take care of you. Since he has no time now, I naturally have to do it for him."
Her voice was sweet and soft, but her words sounded very forceful. She first pointed out that Zhou Xingchen was not willing to be here. Zhou Xingchen just did not want to disobey his father's orders. Furthermore, she wanted to show that they were close.
Liang Jia felt that her actions were unnecessary. Liang Jia sneered and thought, "If the person lying here really loves Zhou Xingchen, I'm afraid she will faint from anger. However, she did not care about Zhou Xingchen at all. If she wants to take care of her, she has no objections.
Liang Jia turned her head to look at the bright and clear window and softly said, "Then I will have to trouble you."
Xia Xiner tidied up and returned to the ward. She sat beside Liang Jia and seemed intimate.
She said timidly, "I am very sorry for what happened at the wedding. I really love Xingchen. I know it is wrong to do this."
"But you can't control yourself. You can't watch him marry someone else, can you?"
Xia Xiner was stunned. The tears she tried hard to produce were half fixed in her eyes.
Liang Jia continued, "You don't need to apologize to me. Xingchen loves you in his heart."
Xia Xiner shyly lowered her head and muttered, "I know." She looked up again. Her bright eyes were bright and dazzling. "You know, Xingchen used to be so stupid."
Liang Jia looked at her with a faint smile. She continued to talk to herself. "One year during Valentine's Day, he brought a bunch of red roses to invite me to dinner with him. At that time, I rejected him. Later, I found out that he was allergic to pollen. The next day, he was full of red measles."
"One time when we saw children playing with fireworks on the street, I thought of the fireworks in college. " He actually remembered what I said. That day, he called a private plane to take me to see fireworks. "Because the time was not right, he begged the person in charge several times before they allowed the fireworks show to start ahead of time."
Liang Jia had been listening to their so-called romance with a smile on her face. Xia Xiner, are you showing off to me? She looked at the bright and vivid face in front of her and felt a trace of irritation and sadness in her heart.
After an unknown amount of time, Zhou Xingchen pushed the door open and entered. He heard Xia Xiner talk about how she took care of him in the past. Liang Jia, who was by the side, stared at her fingers in a daze and even forgot to put on a fake smile.
This kind of Liang Jia looked weak and helpless. He really wanted to hug her.
"Xingchen, you're back!" Xia Xiner's face was full of smiles.
"Yes." Zhou Xingchen returned to his senses and turned to Liang Jia. "What were you guys talking about?"
"We were just talking about you," Liang Jia said. Liang Jia looked gloomy and forced a smile. "I didn't know you had a time like this before. Probably only Miss Xia could let you show this side."
Zhou Xingchen felt that Liang Jia was a little strange. Was she forcing a smile?
Zhou Xingchen's thoughts changed very quickly. Could it be that Xia Xiner's words made her sad? For some reason, when he thought of this, his heart began to beat rapidly and his mood instantly improved.
