The Exorcist - v8 Chapter 18

Xiao Xia clearly felt Ruan Zhan shrink again.

Originally in his severe injury, she felt that he was slowly accepting her, at least not so repulsive. He allowed her to stay by his side, and allowed them to see a little ambiguity, making her feel that as long as she was patient, he would eventually melt the ice in his heart.

However, after Jinshizhen and his party, this great situation took a turn for the worse, and Ruan Zhan put on his indifferent and alienated face again, making everyone who tried to approach him feel a breath of rejection. This gave Xiao Xia reason to believe that something happened in Jinshi Town, which made Ruan Zhan locked in his heart again.

In fact, she is no longer worried about whether he has affection for her, because from all the signs, she can see that even if he loves her unclearly, at least he loves her deeply.

And like is faint love, and love is deep liking.

What made him stop in front of her? This gentle-looking man actually has a strong personality and is difficult to be defeated, so what is blocking him now must be a big and difficult reason to overcome.

But no matter what the reason, Xiao Xia believes that Ruan Zhan’s personality that is boring in her heart and refuses to be touched will not be said. So she didn’t ask at all. She wanted to find the answer slowly, but after several weeks of hard work, she started to get a little angry.

It’s more jealous than angry!

Although she lives in her own home now, she spends every day in the bar. She saw Ruan Zhan deliberately keeping a distance from her, but smiling gently at other women. Even though there was no warmth behind the seemingly gentle smile, Xiao Xia still couldn’t stand it, really couldn’t stand it, especially He recently had a very speculative chat with a woman named Fu Xue.

The woman had recently worked in a nearby office building. She was so beautiful and fashionable that Xiao Xia was jealous and made her feel like a hillbilly. Although he knew that Ruan Zhan liked her, he was just socializing with that woman. But they still feel that they are looking at each other, talking and laughing softly, especially piercing her eyes.

At the foot of the sky, Xiao Xia fell off the stairs, but luckily it was only a few steps to the end. So she didn’t fall seriously. Maybe her posture was a bit funny, so when she got up in a panic, she saw people in a bar smiling, and even Wan Li who rushed to help her smiled. “When can you get rid of your rash personality!”

What a shame! Although this is not the time for the most guests. However, many people saw her embarrassed, especially her mouth gnawing mud in front of Fu Xue. And the hateful Bao Datong laughed when she saw that she was not injured. “Xia Xia drank too much, she wrestled like a rabbit for New Year’s greetings.”

He smiled, and the others couldn’t help but laugh. The two boys, Liu Tie and Ni Yang, laughed particularly energetically. I hate that Xiaoxia wants to kick them out. In the afternoon, she went to a wine exhibition with Wanli for a stroll, and watched Wanlipin with relish, and couldn’t help learning to be a wine taster. It’s a pity that she never knew that she had such a small amount of wine, she only drank. A little bit will make your legs weak. Wan Li wanted to take her home, but she wanted to come back at night, so she had to take her first, but let her go upstairs to sleep for a while. She didn’t think that she would perform a stunt of lion rolling hydrangea when she stepped downstairs to entertain the public.

Pretending to be nonchalant, Xiao Xia took a sneak peek at Ruan Zhan. Seeing him alone in the entire bar, as if he hadn’t seen him, he lowered his head and wiped the glass. She made such a loud noise, if it weren’t for the deaf or blind, he would have noticed. He was so indifferent, obviously overly pretentious and wanting to cover it up! And his brows were frowning, as if he felt distressed.

When she saw Shi Shiran, she walked over, asked him for a glass of wine, and deliberately put her wrist that was a little red and swollen from hitting the corner of the table in front of Ruan Zhan. He remained silent, but instead of giving her wine, he gave her a glass of orange juice.

Ignore it, right? Well, it depends on how long he can bear it! Xiao Xia thought fiercely. She is not a patient person. In order to love him, she has been suffering from gains and losses for a long time. In this era of rapid love, her love is antique. Now that she understands that he loves her, she has no scruples. She didn’t dare to act before, just because she was afraid. She was afraid that if she was too reckless, she wouldn’t even have to do it with her friends. She was afraid that she wouldn’t even have a chance to stay by his side. Now, not only Ruan Zhan has changed her attitude towards this relationship, but her attitude has also changed. She has a bottom in her heart and naturally becomes more active and enthusiastic.

Xiao Xia sat on the edge of the bar, ignoring Bao Datong or Wanli, but quietly listening to Ruan Zhan and Fu Xue talking. With her light bulb stuck there, Fu Xue couldn’t comfortably seduce this handsome boss, and Ruan Zhan was even more uncomfortable. They said for a while and moved a little to the side, but as soon as they moved, Xiao Xia followed, and the slightly injured wrist was kept on the table so that Ruan Zhan could see it.

In the end, Fu Xue had moved to the end of the bar, with her back facing the door, and Xiao Xia was still following them. Everyone in the bar noticed that Xiao Xia did this deliberately.

“Miss Yue, what do you mean?” Fu Xue couldn’t bear it.

No one in the entire bar knew that the only one who could stay with the handsome boss for a long time was the infamous lawyer Yue Xiaoxia. But in her opinion, since Ruan Zhanpi has not expressed the woman who has been with him for so long, it proves that he doesn’t like her at all, that is, he will never express. In this case, this woman is still obsessed with it, which is really unwise. But on the other hand, she was fishing for this tangible and wealthy man, and it was always a stumbling block to have a figure like Yue Xiaoxia.

“I’m listening to you guys, can’t you?” Xiao Xia was obviously provocative.

“Eavesdropping is rude!”

“I didn’t eavesdrop, I listened honestly.”

“You are very strange, how can you chase others and listen to private chats.”

“This is a public place, I have to go to other places for private chat.” Xiao Xia was arrogant and didn’t give in at all.

After arguing and arguing, both sides were a little bit angry, neither of them would admit defeat and continue to argue. Fortunately, they are all scrupulous about the atmosphere here, and they just don’t make loud noises.

On one side, Bao Datong saw this scene and wanted to go forward to put out the fire, but Wan Li grabbed him.

“Jealousy is good for physical and mental health.” He smiled clearly, with a bit of bitterness concealed in his smile. “They are on a dead end and need a little outside stimulation.”

Of course, Bao Datong knew who “they” meant, and couldn’t help but sympathize with the self-righteous Fu Xue. In the emotional war between Ruan Zhan and Xiao Xia, more than one person was accidentally injured!

He also felt that Ruan Zhan had changed a bit after returning from Jinshizhen. And he concluded that this must be related to Uncle Ruan. The matter was obvious. On the surface, Ruan Zhan went to find revenge for the two evil evil spirits who hurt him, but in fact it must be because the evil evil couple revealed the news of Uncle Ruan that he walked. It seems. Ruan Zhan has encountered a difficult problem. He wanted to help him. But his father had told him before traveling around, to help Ruan Zhan, but don’t persecute him, everything should go according to his will. Now Ruan Zhan’s meaning is obvious. Don’t want to mention his father’s place.

“Miss Fu deserves to be unlucky, even arguing with a lawyer.” He sighed softly, “Even if Xiaoxia is not qualified, she never loses in a quarrel.”

Wanli shook his head helplessly. Did not speak. He has been paying attention to Ruan Zhan for a long time, knowing that although his eyes did not look at Xiao Xia, his heart had been firmly placed on her. Ruan Zhan has always been like this recently, far away from Xiaoxia, but staying where she can be seen. Just like now, he seemed to be talking to Fu Xue, but he always glanced at Xiao Xiadi’s arm intentionally or unintentionally.

Xiaoxia, the girl who has learnt badly, knows how to use her little injury to torture the man who is tied to her wholeheartedly. Seeing Ruan Zhan’s appearance seemed to be extremely distressed. I’m afraid that sooner or later, I will lose my strength.

Just thinking of this, Ruan Zhan, who had been helplessly watching the battle, suddenly reached out and grabbed Xiao Xia’s hand, almost carrying Xiao Xia upstairs, leaving poor Fu Xue standing there awkwardly.

“I will give full play to the humanitarian spirit.” Bao Datong said, getting up and looking for Fu Xue.

Wan Li didn’t rush to be a gentleman with him, drank a glass of a bit strong wine alone, suppressed the sorrow in his heart, and considered how he could help the awkward lovers.

Many people will never meet someone who can make them fall in love with each other in this life. They just like each other, or even just because the conditions are equal, they will get together, get married and have children, and stay together for the rest of their lives. How many people can love someone deeply and be loved deeply by someone? It is a gift from God, even if it is ashes after love, it is also worth it, even if it is unforgettable love and then unforgettable pain, it is also lucky.

Ruan Zhan just didn’t understand this. Maybe he loves Xiaoxia too much, so much that he can give up his happiness. However, no matter how terrible the death Ruan Zhan was about to face, he would help her as long as Xiao Xia intended.

Wan Li glanced at the ceiling above his head unconsciously. On the second floor, Ruan Zhanzheng gave Xiao Xia a traditional Chinese medicine wine.

Seeing Ruan Zhan lowering her head, holding her wrist carefully with one hand, and gently smearing the medicinal liquor on her arm with the **** of one hand, Xiao Xia’s heart palpitations hit. It turned out that he was so intoxicated when he was gentle. The face that usually seemed a little lonely and rigid at this moment was soft, and the thick eyelashes cast an ambiguous shadow under the eyes, which made Xiaoxia couldn’t bear it. I want to touch. And as soon as this idea was formed, her hand was caressed on Ruan Zhan’s face a step ahead of reason.

But when the warm little hand touched the cold face, Ruan Zhan flashed away like an electric shock. Xiaoxia was startled first, then embarrassed and sad.

“I am not poisonous.”

“sorry.”

“But why do you reject me?”

“Xia Xia, things—not what you think, I just—not used to being in contact with people.” Ruan Zhan explained with difficulty, “If you feel hurt, then I’m sorry, but now I have to go downstairs, and I still have work to do. .”

He said that he turned and left, as if to escape, but Xiaoxia jumped over with emotion and hugged him from behind.

“I love you.” She said anxiously. She didn’t know if it was because of the quarrel with Fu Xue or the drunkenness had not passed. Anyway, she said what she had been holding in her heart, “I want you to be my boyfriend. !” Anyway, she is sure he loves her, so what is she afraid of. Moreover, it is only three words, it is not difficult to say it.

Ruan Zhan’s body froze.

Of course he knew that she loved him, but she kept her love in her heart implicitly, giving him another chance to dodge, but today she said it! The first time she faced her confession, what would she do? How much he wanted to agree to her, but he had to refuse. The question was how could he not hurt her? !

“Silly girl, read too many romance novels. Stop making trouble, there are still guests downstairs.” He tried to get through.

“No, since what has been said, let’s just make it clear today.” Xiaoxia said stubbornly: “Tell me why I can’t accept me. If there is something difficult to understand, we can face it together. I said it earlier. Now, I am not your burden, but your partner. Tell me, what is it that embarrass you?!”

Does she know? Ruan Zhan was nervous for a moment, but then he realized that it was impossible for Xiao Xia to know such a complicated internal situation. He didn’t know what to say, he felt Xiaoxia’s soft body leaning on his back, and he was about to break down emotionally.

He tried to pull her wrist, but it happened to hit her injured place. He gave a painful cry and made him hurriedly let go of his hand.

“Xia Xia, really stop making trouble, okay? You’re like this, I’m very embarrassed!”

“I’m confessing to you, can’t you tell me?” Ruan Zhan repeatedly avoided making Xiao Xia angry, but she had no choice but to hold him tightly, but she felt a sudden tingling of her fingers. Can’t help letting go.

“You used magic tricks on me!” Xiaoxia’s eyes widened in disbelief, “Last time you made me lose my memory, I haven’t asked you to settle the accounts yet, you are actually using magic tricks to power me!”

“It’s just a little bit, it won’t hurt.” Ruan Zhan explained, seemingly at a loss, “Don’t pester me, we are not suitable. There are many good men in this world. There are Wan Li and Bao Datong in front of you. . Don’t come to pester me, everyone is relaxed, unless you are trying to force me to leave, that way—even friends can’t be done.”

After he finished speaking, while Xiao Xia was still in a daze, he hurried downstairs. Standing in the bar ~www.mtlnovel.com~ Ignoring the curious gazes of Wan Li and Bao Datong, he felt that all his strength had been taken away, and he was very tired even standing, so he had to lie half down on the bar.

“I forgot to tell you something just now.” Fu Xue hadn’t left yet, watching Ruan Zhan return without saying a word, mistaking his painful look as boredom, thinking that he had a dispute with Yue Xiaoxia and would not give up. Come again to continue the “social male career”, “This Saturday is my birthday, friends organized a party for me, are you honored to ask you to be my male companion?”

Ruan Zhan’s mind wasn’t here, so he only said “um”. Fu Xue thought Ruan Zhan had agreed and was very happy, and quickly told Ruan Zhan the time and place of the meeting. This is, Xiaoxia came downstairs and just heard their conversation.

“Don’t invite me?”

“Is it’listen’ again?” Fu Xueyang raised her pretty chin, “A friend, you come too. However, you have to bring a male partner.”

“I’ll take him.” Xiao Xia returned her hand and pointed her finger away.

Ruan Zhan wanted to refuse the invitation, but when he thought that Xiao Xia should give up, he came to acquiesce.

And Xiaoxia thought in her heart: confess to you, you don’t surrender honestly. If I had to use the word “Lai”, it would be as he wished!
