Kiss the wrong pregnant bride

Chapter 240 The Torn Appearance of Harmony

Ling Xiaoxi began to quietly investigate the news that Las Vegas became the gambling king. She kept all this from Zuo Xiaomo, and couldn't explain the reason. She just vaguely felt that she shouldn't tell him, just as he had something Like hiding it from her.

The wedding dress was delivered to Shao's house, and Zuo Ruoxin drove there early in the morning. Amidst the hospitality of the housekeeper, there was a sweet and happy smile on her face.

"Uncle, where's Qi Peng?" Seeing Shao Le coming down the stairs, she hurried forward and asked softly, her attitude was extremely sincere and respectful.

This is her future father-in-law, and he must leave a good impression on him.

Shao Le smiled kindly, "Qi Peng plays golf outside the garden at this time every day."

He pointed to the large expanse of lush green lawn outside the French windows of the living room, and smiled.

Zuo Ruoxin's eyes lit up, and he ran out of the villa at a trot. Behind the villa, in the lush green lawn, stood a man in a sweatshirt. It was just a simple back view, but Zuo Ruoxin's heart fluttered like a deer. Collide.

Shao Qipeng swung the cue gracefully, the white ball formed a gorgeous parabola, spun in the air, and finally rolled into the hole on the lawn with precision###.

"Papa papa." The applause suddenly sounded, and the smile on his face suddenly subsided a bit, and he put the cue aside, with a gentle smile like a mask, looking at Zuo Ruoxin not far away.

This woman is about to become his wife in a month.

The gentle eyes dimmed slightly, and a miserable gleam was fleeting.

"Qi Peng, your golf skills are really good." Zuo Ruoxin praised, and spontaneously rubbed his face in front of him. Seeing that there was a layer of sweat on his forehead, he took out a tissue from the sachet, and was about to wipe off the sweat for him, but was caught. Shao Qipeng dodged away, her hand suddenly stopped in the air, and the smile on her face froze completely.

"I'm sorry, I don't like getting too close to people." Shao Qipeng's apology didn't have any real feeling, it was like a mechanical statement, and it was chillingly indifferent.

Zuo Ruoxin clenched the tissue in her hand, and twitched the corner of her mouth in embarrassment: "Really?"

How could she believe such a lie!

Shao Qipeng ignored her disappointed expression, turned around and walked towards the villa.

"Shao Qipeng, stop!" Zuo Ruoxin shouted in a low voice. During this period of time, the grievances in her heart have reached the verge of eruption, and her thin body trembled slightly in the sun: "You promised that brother will treat you well." Mine, is this what you call okay? Even if I stand in front of you, who are your eyes looking at?"

Questions that were almost roaring floated in the air.

The pace of Shao Qipeng's departure suddenly stopped, his body tensed for a moment, he never looked back, never looked at the woman behind him who was obsessed with him.

"I tried my best to please you, and I tried every means to make you look at me more, but what about you? You turned a blind eye to me. We are about to get married. I am your fiancee. Do you know that? " She really couldn't stand this kind of indifferent treatment, and he had promised to treat her well, so what is it now?Whether it's a date or a two-person world, when he faces her, he will always look lukewarm, as if he is dealing with an errand, without any sincerity!

"I can give you anything except love." Shao Qipeng turned his head slightly, his usual gentle smile was replaced by indifference, and he stared at her quietly, his eyes calm.

"Do you like her that much?" Zuo Ruoxin smiled angrily, "She is about to marry my brother! You still can't let her go, I like you so much, but you can only see her!"

She didn't understand, how could she be inferior to Ling Xiaoxi?Why is he not even willing to use the slightest thought on himself?

"I'm sorry." Shao Qipeng said indifferently. He only had one heart, and it was given to one person. How could there be room left for another woman?

"I don't want your apology," Zuo Ruoxin took a deep breath, barely suppressing the anger that was about to erupt in his heart, "Qi Peng, let's try, you try to let her go, and then slowly fall in love with me, okay?"

Miss Qianjin, who had always been wayward, lost her arrogance at this moment, and humbled herself into the dust for the man in front of her who was already astonished as a heavenly man when she first met.

Shao Qipeng's eyes dimmed completely: "Can you choose not to like me?"

"How is it possible!" Didn't she use all means to marry him?

A bitter smile spread over the corner of his mouth: "So, it is impossible for me to choose to stop loving her."

Just as she is obsessed with herself, so is his affection for Ling Xiaoxi, he can't forget it, he can't let it go.

Zuo Ruoxin looked at his receding back in astonishment, her eye sockets began to heat up, she didn't want to cry, but the tears couldn't be controlled by her, desperately fell from her eye sockets.

No third person knew about the quarrel between the two. When Zuo Ruoxin returned to the villa, her emotions had returned to calm.

She pretended to be happy in front of Shao Le, chatting and laughing with the old man, fully displaying her identity as a daughter-in-law, trying her best to please Shao Le, hoping to impress Shao Qipeng from the side.

Shao Qipeng stayed alone in the room. The walls of the entire room were covered with photos of him and Ling Xiaoxi when they were young. The white walls in all directions were densely criss-crossed.

He just looked at them all the time like this, painting the ground as a prison.

In the elegant villa, Ling Xiaoxi was wearing an infinite headset, sitting on a deck chair in the garden, with a thin blanket on his body, looking very relaxed.

From time to time, a voice came out of the headset, with an extremely skilled London accent: "Miss Ling, according to the information you provided, we can only investigate that this mysterious man once defeated the gambler in Las Vegas and became the new boss of the casino." Boss, as for his identity and background, I'm sorry, because the information you provided is too concise, and I can only investigate so much for the time being."

"Can we find out when he appeared?" Ling Xiaoxi asked in a low voice, looking around vigilantly.

"The other party was active from six years ago until last year." The American private investigator said responsibly.

"Thank you." At the end of the call, Ling Xiaoxi closed her eyes wearily. She still couldn't let go of the mysterious email. Zuo Xiaomo is a big business figure in China, how could he become the king of gambling in Las Vegas six years ago? ?He never mentioned this to himself, and the timing was too coincidental.

The times she showed up in Las Vegas, and the times he was active...

"Coincidence?" Ling Xiaoxi couldn't help frowning, no matter how much she thought about it, she still couldn't figure out the inevitable connection, the only thing she could be sure of was that Zuo Xiaomo must have hidden something from her.

Perhaps, he has a close relationship with a masked man who has been elusive all this time!

"Am I just thinking wildly?" The masked man knew her every move after returning to China. He must have an eyeliner by his side. At the same time, she couldn't help but care about that sensitive time.

Ling Xiaoxi patted his face carelessly, the more he thought about it, the more he felt a headache.

If she didn't rely on the masked man for her power, she wouldn't be able to investigate foreign intelligence at all!

Zuo Xiaomo didn't know at all that Ling Xiaoxi was secretly investigating him, he devoted all his heart and soul to the development of Zuo's project, and when he returned home, he was exhausted physically and mentally.

"Are you tired?" Ling Xiaoxi looked at his blue eye bags, and couldn't help feeling a little pain in her heart, and even put aside the confusion that had troubled her for many days.

Zuo Xiaomo nodded slowly: "Where is Ruoxin?"

"Still not back at Shao's house. The wedding is coming soon. She has a lot of things to ask in person." Ling Xiaoxi said softly, went around behind the sofa, and gently massaged his temples, "What's the progress of the foreign project?"

"Not yet, you are busy with Ruoxin's marriage recently, you don't need to worry about work, if you have time, why not think about our marriage." Zuo Xiaomo changed the topic, unwilling to let her accompany him to worry.

"Marriage?" He completely forgot if he didn't mention Ling Xiaoxi, she promised Zuo Xiaomo to marry him after Christmas.

Sure enough, did that email still affect her?

"Zuo Xiaomo, is there anything you're hiding from me?" She asked tentatively, her transparent eyes fixed on the expression on his face, hoping to see something.

Zuo Xiaomo's expression didn't change at all, "What are you hiding from you?"

There's none?

His too natural reaction made Ling Xiaoxi's heart sink to the bottom.

"No, it's nothing, I'm just asking casually." She vaguely shifted the topic away, and the pressure on his head increased instantly.

"If you have anything to say, you can speak directly." Zuo Xiao silently opened his eyes, his deep and cold black eyes reflected her face.

Ling Xiaoxi was almost captivated by his eyes, and almost asked about the email, but luckily, her rationality stopped her impulse and dodged his provocative gaze, "Recently, I see that you go out early every day and come back late. I want to share a little with you too."

Zuo Xiaomo gently held her wrist, and raised a soothing smile on his lips mercilessly: "It's not necessary, as long as you're here, it's enough."

Going home every day, just looking at her quietly waiting figure, for Zuo Xiaomo, is the happiest thing.

Ling Xiaoxi blushed under his focused gaze, and couldn't help but angrily said: "How many women have you said these words to?"

"Jealous?" Zuo Xiaomo chuckled lightly.

"Do you think this kind of thing is possible?" She hummed awkwardly, but the blush on her face showed signs of spreading towards her neck.

Zuo Xiao smiled silently and said nothing, he loved her badly, her black eyes were full of emotion, "When the wedding is over, we will go abroad for our honeymoon, is there any place we want to go?"

"Las Vegas, how about it?" A place name that Ling Xiaoxi blurted out made Zuo Xiaomo's eyes sink suddenly.

"You've been talking about this place a lot lately," he said sharply.

Ling Xiaoxi's heart skipped a beat, his arm suddenly pulled out from his palm, and he smiled: "Is there?"

"Is there something you are hiding from me?" Zuo Xiaomo asked in a low voice, his smiling face unconsciously darkened a bit.

Ling Xiaoxi shook her head hastily, she didn't want to tell him too much before investigating clearly.

"Forget it," Zuo Xiaomo sighed dejectedly, but those eyes were not the slightest bit warm: "If you don't want to say it, I won't force it."

"Angry?" Ling Xiaoxi poked his arm, with a flattering expression on his face: "You are at home every day, what can I hide from you?"

If you want to hide it, he is also hiding it from himself.

Although Zuo Xiaomo's expression softened somewhat, Ling Xiaoxi faintly sensed that he was not in a good mood.

Seeing Zuo Xiaomo walk into the bathroom, she took out her mobile phone, and after some hesitation, sent a text message to Shao Qipeng. Now, she could only turn to him for help.

Hope to rely on the power of the Shao family to find out the truth about Zuo Xiaomo's concealment of her.

Shao Qipeng frowned slightly as he looked at the text message on his phone.

Why did Xiao Xi suddenly ask him to investigate Zuo Xiaomo's whereabouts in the past six years?

"Qipeng!" Zuo Ruoxin pushed the dining car in from outside the door, but saw Shao Qipeng put away his phone in a panic, his heart sank suddenly, but his face did not reveal anything: "Uncle said you didn't eat much at night Something, let me bring you some special supper."

Shao Qipeng nodded slightly, "I've made you worry."

The lights in the study were extremely dim, Zuo Ruoxin was particularly concerned about his actions just now, and asked calmly, "By the way, did anyone contact you just now?"
