Madam is proud

Chapter 40

In my mind, those strange memories reappeared.

In a flash, nothing can be caught.

Gu Xi thought, she really needs to see a psychiatrist.

She felt that her behavior was a sequela of rebirth.

Jiang Ci doesn't eat much, his taste tends to be salty, and he doesn't like sweet and salty tastes.

Hearing Gu Xi's words, his black eyes flickered slightly.

With lowered brows, Gu Xi couldn't see the waves in his eyes.

"Go back to the residence to get some things. I didn't intend to see Song Heng's car and your car."

He raised his eyes, and his intoxicated eyes looked directly at Gu Xi.

Seemingly aware of it, Gu Xi looked at him.

A look through the depths of his eyes.

His eyes are so beautiful.

Also, very deceiving.

Obviously, he is a cold-blooded and ruthless person with violent and cruel means.

Those eyes were as clean as the clear spring water in a mountain stream, not stained with the air of the world.

Jiang Ci is too deceptive.

Whether it is himself,

or that face,
Or, those eyes.

It's all too fake, like a dream while sleeping but not sleeping, hazy.

The more I want to remember and grasp, the farther away I am.

Yes, his eyes, his person.

But looking at it this way, getting along so close.

The indifference and unfeelingness that radiates from the depths of his bones and rejects people thousands of miles away is the most frostbitten.

What he said was half true and half false, Gu Xi didn't want to delve into it.

Bowing his head, he saw that Gu Rui had finished eating the beef in his bowl.

She moved her chopsticks and picked up the beef.

Jiang Ci's movements were faster than hers, but she was one step slower.

To no avail, she had to put the beef in a bowl.

Actually, it's weird.

With him, even if you don't talk, you won't feel embarrassed.

Although he is cold-blooded and cruel.

But she wasn't afraid of him at all.

Perhaps, it is sympathy.

Or maybe, he helped her once in the supermarket just now, and his attitude towards him has changed.

That's why he thinks he's pretty good.

"Anyway, thank you today." There was no emotion in the voice.

"I should thank you for letting me eat." Jiang Ci's voice was extremely magnetic, but also a bit desolate and cold.

"Heh." Gu Xi chuckled lightly, but didn't say anything after all.

If you do business.

This time, she earned the money.

The compensation is Jiang Ci.

With his temperament, he would not allow himself to pay.

That means that he came with a certain purpose.

"If you can bring this beef every day, I don't mind letting you eat."

She was just joking, how could she—

"okay."

Jiang Ci agreed casually.

That earnest look doesn't seem like a joke, but a serious matter.

Suddenly, I didn't want to talk anymore.

The beef in the bowl has been eaten, Gu Xi put down his chopsticks.

The three of them sat at the same table, only Gu Rui was left with puffed cheeks, like a hamster hiding food, eating slowly and very cute.

After getting up, Gu Xi went to the kitchen, got ice cubes, and made himself a special summer drink.

When she came out of the kitchen, she took a plate and sat down slowly.

Handed a glass of sky blue drink to Jiang Ci.

"Don't worry, less sugar, it's not sweet."

Her casual sentence made Jiang Ci's eyebrows relax.

A touch of warmth quietly flashed across the rich and deep eyes.

He picked up the drink and took a sip.

As she said, it's not sweet.

The faint aroma was very familiar, but he couldn't describe it.

Between the lips and teeth, the aroma of wine permeates, very fragrant and pure, but not intoxicating.

He's not one for fancy things.

But if...

Putting down the cup, he looked towards Gu Xi.

She was holding a transparent glass, sipping her drink in small sips.
