Huo Yaoting stared at him and suddenly kept quiet.
Recently, he didn't plan to let her off. He grumpily drank a few words at her before leaving.
Now that he thought about it, when he left the bedroom, he could hear the little girl hiding in the blanket and crying. However, he didn't pay attention to her at the time.
The pain in his heart was intense, Huo Yaoting really wanted to slap himself twice.
Chu Lingtian's eyes reddened, and he viciously grabbed onto Huo Yaoting's collar, "Huo Yaoting, if something happens to Xiao Xi, I won't forgive you!"
With that, Chu Lingtian flung Huo Yaoting away and took the phone from a subordinate. He dialed a number and got on the carriage.
Huo Yaoting's eyebrows twitched, he did not care about Chu Lingtian grabbing his collar, and quickly jumped onto a car at the door, rushing out.
"Third Brother, the tracking device shows that Third Sister-in-law has been taken out of the city and is moving towards the mountainside on the outskirts of the city." Qi Song said as he fiddled with the computer, and turned his head to look at the ashen-faced Huo Yaoting.
Huo Yaoting clenched his fists, his eyes filled with killing intent, "Stay behind and continue to track the whereabouts of Xiao Xi."
With that, his figure moved swiftly like a leopard, disappearing from the computer room with the exquisite equipment, and at the same time, Huo Chengshang also disappeared.
In the computer room, only Qi Song who was closely staring at the computer and Qiao Jingyan who was deep in thought while looking at the computer screen was left.
After a while, Qiao Jingyan suddenly stood up, took out his phone from his pocket, and walked out with big strides.
A man and a woman, a child, and a big dog were riding in a big red sports car on the tarmac.
In the driver's seat, a man's brown coat was fluttering in the wind. His black hair was blown back by the wind, revealing his exquisite face.
A pair of beady eyes sparkled with excitement and stolen happiness.
And the woman sitting beside him, wrapped in a thick snow-white scarf, wearing a thick cotton dress, cartoon gloves, and a woolen hat, was sitting in the passenger seat like a ball that could roll at any time.
The woman only revealed a pair of eyes that were narrowed into slits. Her long black eyelashes pretended to blink as she silently looked at the man beside her and said softly, "Brother Lian, it's cold."
In the middle of winter, do you need an open roof?
Qiao Jinglian laughed with phoenix eyes, gently reached out and pinched a ball on the woman's hat, then slowly closed the hood, and mercifully turned on the heat inside the car.
Threads of warmth surrounded the carriage, and at the same time, Qiao Jinglian heard two low sighs.
One was from the woman beside him, the other from the boy in the child's chair in the passenger seat.
Qiao Jinglian couldn't help but to laugh as he turned to look at Ji
ian, who was also wrapped up like a ball and had a pair of big black eyes.
Seeing that he was looking at her, Ji
ian curled her lips and turned her head.
Qiao Jinglian looked at Xiao Bao who was lying on the ground, unable to hold back his laughter.
The interior of the car was heated up, and Ye Xi started to feel hot, thus taking off his hat, scarf, and gloves, he turned to look at Ji
ian, "Darling, is it hot?"
Ji
ian lifted his eyelids and glanced at her. Without saying a word, he closed his eyes and prepared to sleep.
Ye Xi licked his lips, turned his head, and saw Qiao Jinglian pursing his lips, and staring straight at him.
Ye Xi's eyebrows jumped, he cleared his throat and pointed at the car, "... Brother Lian, watch the road. "
Qiao Jinglian bit her lips, "Don't worry, you're in the carriage, I definitely won't allow anything to go wrong."
Ye Xi's eyes moved, and then he smiled.
The corner of Qiao Jinglian's mouth lifted into a smile as he looked at her. His almond-shaped eyes deepened as he turned his head to look in front of him.
Not wanting to make the atmosphere too awkward by walking in silence, Ye Xi smiled and said, "Brother Lian, do you have any plans to bring us up the mountain today? Don't tell me you want me to make you a steak again? "
"Yes." Qiao Jinglian tilted his head and glanced at Ye Xi, his handsome and elegant voice gentle. "It's been a long time since I last ate, I almost forgot the taste."
Ye Xi didn't think that he would really bring her out just to cook a steak for him. She was a little speechless and a bit helpless, "Alright, I'll cook for you today as much as I want until you don't want to eat anymore."
"I'm afraid that would be a little difficult." Qiao Jinglian raised his eyebrows and looked at Ye Xi deeply.
She had personally made him a steak. Even if he had to eat all his life, he wouldn't get tired of it, so how could he not want to?
Ye Xi's heart tightened slightly, his eyes looking straight into his eyes, he laughed provocatively, "Sure, you can feed me whatever I can do today, let's see if you can remain as calm as you are now."
Qiao Jinglian sneered as he reached out to rub Ye Xi's head, just as he was about to say something, the phone in the car suddenly rang.
Qiao Jinglian frowned, she looked at the flickering screen, her eyes turned cold, then she picked up her phone and picked it up.
"Jinglian, Xiao Xi is with you?"
Just as the call co
ected, Qiao Jingyan's cool and calm voice came out.
Qiao Jinglian glanced at Ye Xi who was curiously looking at him, and spoke indifferently: "If there's nothing else, I'll be hanging up."
"Jinglian, you're not young anymore, do you need me to remind you again and again what you should do and what you shouldn't do?" Qiao Jingyan's voice was surprisingly cold.
Qiao Jingyan had always liked his only brother.
In addition, this naughty little brother would not listen to anyone's words. He only listened to a few words from him, so he was particularly fond of him and would never say a single serious word.
Therefore, since they were young, the two brothers had been close friends. The open and secret struggles between the brothers of the other families had seemed different on the surface, but they had never existed between the two brothers.
However, because of the matter with Xiao Xi recently, a gap still appeared in the relationship between the two brothers.
Hearing this, Qiao Jinglian laughed coldly, "Big bro, even if this little brother of mine is no better and can't compare to other people, I should at least know my own limits, right?"
"?" Qiao Jingyan's breath paused for a while before he laughed bitterly. He did not say anything else and hung up the phone.
Qiao Jinglian's face suddenly became gloomy, and when Ye Xi saw that he was holding onto his phone so tightly that his joints turned white, his heart tensed up, "Brother Lian."
Seemingly Ye Xi's words had aroused his consciousness, Qiao Jinglian took a deep breath in, and turned his head to look at Ye Xi with a smile, "I'm fine."
"..." Did Big Bro say anything? " Ye Xi worriedly looked at his slightly pale face.
Qiao Jinglian's eyes turned cold, he overdid his disguise, frowned and threw his phone into the secret compartment, "No, don't let your imagination run wild."
"?" Ye Xi looked at his taut lower jaw, the space between his eyebrows twisting tightly bit by bit.
Since young, Qiao Jinglian and Qiao Jingyan had a good relationship with each other. Qiao Jinglian was always carefree towards everyone, but towards this big brother, he held some respect and love.
She knew that in Qiao Jinglian's heart, Qiao Jingyan was not only his big brother, he was also a majestic existence like his father.
She had almost never seen Qiao Jinglian act like that before. Mockery.
He vaguely knew in his heart that there was likely to be something unpleasant or a misunderstanding between the two brothers.
Once again stepping into the white ancient fortress, Ye Xi was still attracted by its beautiful outline that was full of fairy tales.
Standing in front of the tree like boys and girls, Ye Xi vaguely felt that he had become a little girl.
"Mommy, is this you?" Ji
ian's soft and childish voice that carried a bit of detest sounded by her ear.
Ye Xi looked at him in shock, "How did you know?"
Ji
ian's mouth twitched, that's right.
"Stupid." After Ji
ian said these two words, he pulled Little Treasure and entered the castle's maze, dazzling design.
Ye Xi immediately vomited a mouthful of saliva as he pouted unhappily. He snorted at Ji
ian's little back in a childish tone, "You little bastard who doesn't know how to appreciate things."
"What did you give birth to the little bastard for?" Ji
ian threw those words back coldly without even turning his head back.
"?" Ye Xi was choked to the point that his face was flushed red.
"Heh ?" Qiao Jinglian started laughing, rubbing his chin like a thug, his phoenix eyes started sizing up Ye Xi and the tree-shaped girl, "If that's the case, then you really are stupid."
"Brother Lian, you are bullying me too?" Ye Xi was so angry that she cried.
