Chapter 77
A few days later, the project they were working on here ended, and they took the plane back.
After boarding the plane, Qiao Nian fell asleep.
But the one sitting on the other side of the aisle happened to be a little boy over three years old. The child kept crying and wanted to go out to play when he saw the blue sky and white clouds outside the window.
His mother couldn't coax him no matter what, the passengers all around frowned, but they didn't say anything because of their young age.
Qiao Nian was sitting nearby, and the noise was so loud that it caused headaches.
Just when she lowered her head and tried to find the earplugs, Jiang Ming's voice suddenly rang out: "Shut up!"
Qiao Nian was startled, and the child next to him was startled in his mother's arms.
The child looked at Jiang Ming's cold face with tears in his eyes, met his gaze, hiccupped in fright, and didn't dare to cry anymore.
But after reacting, he opened his mouth.
When he was about to cry, Jiang Ming suddenly asked him: "Do you want to go out?"
The child's grandma let out a "huh" forcefully, with a bit of grievance and confusion on her face, as if she didn't understand why his mother didn't let him out.
Jiang Ming: "Close your eyes, you can go out in a while."
Qiao Nian turned to look at him, are you serious?
Obviously the child took it seriously, and looked at him in surprise: "Really ?
"
back.
Tired of crying, the child quickly fell asleep in his mother's arms.
Qiao Nian felt her ears calm down instantly. She looked at Jiang Ming's calm face and said in surprise, "You can still coax children?"
Jiang Ming looked at her: "Do I have that leisurely mind?" He lowered his head and moved closer to her, "Isn't it so that you can sleep well?" As he
spoke, he added considerately: "You can sleep next to me." "
... ..." Qiao Nian couldn't help but said, "Don't talk like that, okay?"
He suddenly treated her so well, it made people feel very uncomfortable.
Jiang Ming chuckled, "I'm chasing you, aren't I?" He moved closer to her and pulled her into his arms, his voice was low and slow, "Go to sleep, or do you want me to coax you to sleep too?" Qiao Nian
blushed : "..."
I'm used to seeing his cold face when confronting him, but he's suddenly so gentle, it's really... quite uncomfortable.
After getting off the plane, Qiao Nian thought the family would send someone to pick her up.
But the only one waiting outside was the driver of Jiang Ming's family.
When she was about to make a call, the phone was suddenly taken away by Jiang Ming. He picked up her luggage and put it in the trunk, and said, "I'll see you off." "No need..." "Uncle and aunt have
already
agreed , you can't wait for someone to pick you up." Jiang Ming said.
Qiao Nian: "..."
She could already imagine how shocked her parents would be.
She originally refused because she hadn't figured out how to explain her relationship with Jiang Ming to her parents, but now that Jiang Ming had said so, she didn't refuse anymore.
Jiang Ming left after sending her home, leaving her to face her parents' doubts.
Maybe it was because they were too deeply impressed by the discord between her and Jiang Ming, her parents didn't ask her directly when they came up, they just looked at her with that hesitant look when they were eating.
Qiao Nian sighed: "You can ask whatever you want, I won't lose my temper."
Did she have such a bad temper in the eyes of her parents before?
But Qiao's mother didn't think that her daughter had a bad temper, so she didn't want to speak up, but because Jiang Ming's daughter would explode whenever she mentioned it, and she hated him very much, so she didn't know how to speak.
Hearing her daughter's words, Qiao's mother held back her doubts for a while and immediately said, "I heard that you and Jiang Ming got married? What's going on? He sent you home, so you can't be...you got pregnant before you were married." Right?"
It's not that she listened to the rumors, but that not only her daughter's friends said so, but even Jiang's parents already knew about their being together.
She didn't think that her daughter would suddenly change from hating Jiang Ming to falling in love with him in such a short period of time, just because they thought something happened to marry him.
Qiao Nian knew that there would definitely be rumors about her and Jiang Ming, but she didn't expect it to be so outrageous, she choked and coughed several times.
"Mom, why do you still believe those rumors?" Qiao Nian said, "I have nothing to do with Jiang Ming."
At least for now it really doesn't matter.
"Really?"
"Of course it's true."
Hearing this, Joe's father and mother were relieved.
Qiao Nian felt strange: "Don't you guys like Jiang Ming very much?"
Qiao's father said, "Jiang Ming is good, but you two are not suitable, and you usually don't like each other when you meet, if you really get married, The house is going to explode."
Qiao Nian: "..."
Originally, she wanted to mention the possibility that she and Jiang Ming might be together, but she couldn't say it after hearing this.
Her parents certainly didn't believe that she would like Jiang Ming, and she herself wasn't sure, but she didn't dislike being with Jiang Ming at all.
Forget it, let's talk about it later.
Her parents' side was temporarily stabilized, but the rumors about her and Jiang Ming in the circle intensified.
Especially these days, even if Jiang Ming didn't show up, flowers would be delivered to her door every day, and those rumors would spread even more, and even her parents' eyes became a little strange again.
Not long after, Qiao Nian received an invitation from Qi Sui, inviting her to play in his family's manor, not only her, but also all the friends around her received the invitation.
Although Qi Sui is also a rich second generation, he is Jiang Ming's friend, and he and she were naturally in two camps in the past.
Now he invited her and her friends to play together.
No matter how you look at it, it's all because of those rumors.
Qiao Nian had nothing to do, so he went.
Qiao Nian was not at all surprised when he saw Jiang Ming in Qi Sui's manor.
Everyone secretly paid attention to her and Jiang Ming, as if they wanted to know whether those rumors were true or not.
Jiang Ming looked at ease, he even offered to grill her meat during the barbecue, and almost stayed by her side during the whole party, as if those rumors were confirmed.
Everyone's eyes couldn't help being shocked and surprised, as if they couldn't figure out how they developed to this point.
Qiao Nian didn't care about the rumors, but she didn't want to be watched like this, so she got up and went to the villa, intending to sit on the sofa and rest for a while.
When she left, Jiang Ming was still surrounded by his group of friends talking about something.
But she didn't expect that Qi Sui would follow her after she walked into the villa.
Qiao Nian turned to look at him.
Seeing that she was silent, Qi Sui coughed lightly, and spoke first: "Do you know why I invited you?" Of course
Qiao Nian knew, but she still asked him: "Why?"
Waiting for him to express his doubts, she explained Just one click will save everyone from asking about her and Jiang Ming like paparazzi.
But after hearing her words, Qi Sui's face suddenly turned red, and he said nervously: "Because... I like you, I have liked you for a long time, can you make friends with me?" Qiao Nian was a little nervous at first
. Surprised, but he understood when he saw the cell phone that was still on in his pocket.
He must still want to test whether she and Jiang Ming are together, and want to get a definite answer, because no one believes that she and Jiang Ming will really be together.
Qiao Nian looked at Qi Sui's nervous expression, suddenly smiled, and said, "Okay."
Qi Sui: "...you...what did you say?"
Qiao Nian: "Why are you panicking? I'm dating you, you Shouldn't you be happy?"
Qi Sui: "..."
No, it's true, right?
Qi Sui panicked all of a sudden, his mind went blank for a moment, and then his eyes widened suddenly, because he saw Jiang Ming's figure appearing at the door.
Seeing Jiang Ming walk in, Qi Sui panicked even more. He didn't know what Qiao Nian was thinking, but Jiang Ming definitely liked Qiao Nian.
Qi Sui didn't dare to test anything, he immediately pretended that he just came to the villa to get wine, picked up a bottle of red wine on the table and hurried out without even raising his head.
He was afraid that Jiang Ming would misunderstand that he wanted to green him.
Qiao Nian couldn't help laughing out loud, thinking Jiang Ming's friends were so interesting, they were so stupid and cute, they didn't have the same style as him at all.
But as soon as she raised her head to meet Jiang Ming's deep eyes with unclear meaning, her smile froze: "What... are you looking at me like that?"
Jiang Ming walked to the sofa, looked down at her, and said The corner of her lower lip twitched: "You don't know?"
Qiao Nian: "..."
He heard it all?
Qiao Nian was silent for a moment, looked at him, and said, "I was just joking with your friend just now, it was just a joke."
"Just kidding." Jiang Ming leaned over to look at her, and lifted her chin with his finger. The distance between the two was very close, and his voice was low and low, "Didn't I tell you that you should be more serious about your relationship?
" As he got closer, he knelt down on the sofa with one knee, clasped her waist, and trapped her between him and the sofa. His eyes were deep and his voice was low and hoarse: "After all, if I'm the only one who is serious, isn't it too uncomfortable?" fair?"
Seeing his face so close, Qiao Nian's heart beat a little faster, and she was a little bit dissatisfied: "I said it was just a joke, I... now I take my relationship very seriously, don't wrong me." "Really?
" Jiang Ming's slender fingers slowly slid up, caressing her cheeks, his eyes darkened, "Then you kiss me, to prove how serious you are?" Facing his gaze, Qiao Nian
's cheeks became hot, and she suddenly realized , stretched out his hand and pushed him: "What proof? You just want to kiss me, right?"
Jiang Ming leaned over and pressed her on the sofa, put his arms around her waist and kissed her, with a hoarse voice: "Congratulations, you got the answer right."
