Chapter 708
708 Lying to me on purpose (1)
She was shocked and wanted to get up, but the man’s warm palm firmly held her slender waist.
&Quot; Mr. -Mr. Xie … &Quot; she stammered as she looked at the overly ambiguous position.
Compared to her uneasiness, the man was at ease. &Quot; if you don’t let me drink, then help me drink. &Quot;
Qu Huaian blinked and shook his head. &Quot; I don’t know how to drink. &Quot;
“This glass of wine is quite expensive. It’ll be a waste to pour it out.” Xie tingxi brought the glass to her lips, and his gentle voice was a little bewitching. &Quot; try it, maybe it will work. &Quot;
Qu Huaian bit his lip, still hesitating.
The man’s thin lips parted slightly. &Quot; be good. Try a sip. &Quot;
His low and hoarse voice seemed to be saying, ” be good, I’ll rub … &Quot;
Qu Huaian seemed to be unable to resist his temptation. His red lips parted slightly, and the wine in the glass slowly flowed into his mouth.
The cold liquid was hot when it entered her mouth. She choked and coughed, the facial features on her face scrunched up.
Xie tingxi leaned back on the sofa and looked at her with a relaxed expression. His eyes were full of smiles.
Qu Huaian coughed until his eyes were teary, and when he looked at him, he looked even more pitiful.
“Drink a little more.”
“Spicy.” She shook her head and refused to drink more.
&Quot; you’ve never had it before, so you’ll naturally find it spicy at first. You won’t feel this way after you get used to it. &Quot;
Xie tingxi continued to teach her, ” believe me. &Quot;
Qu Huaian looked at him for a few seconds before finally compromising.
He held the cup with both hands and gulped down the warm and spicy whiskey.
Xie tingxi took the glass and placed it on the coffee table. &Quot; does it taste good? ”
Qu Huaian shook his head. &Quot; it doesn’t taste good. &Quot;
He still felt the spiciness after a few sips, and his throat felt like it was on fire.
“Is that so?” Xie tingxi raised his eyebrows in disbelief. &Quot; you’re not lying to me just to get some wine. &Quot;
“I didn’t.” She denied.
“I don’t believe you.” He tilted his head and smiled. &Quot; unless you let me try it. &Quot;
“You can’t drink …”
Before she could finish her sentence, Xie tingxi had already raised his head and kissed her on the lips.
Qu Huaian was stunned.
Unlike last night’s aggressive kiss, Xie tingxi’s kiss was very gentle. He was careful and gentle.
Qu Huaian regained his senses and pushed his chest away. &Quot; m-Mr. Xie, please don’t be like this … &Quot;
Her fair face was covered with a faint pink, from her cheeks to her ears, and then to her neck.
Xie tingxi licked his lips and commented, ” “Wine is sweet.”
Qu Huaian looked up and met his eyes. &Quot; Mr. Xie, you can’t do this … &Quot;
“What?” The man asked despite knowing the answer.
She bit her lip and did not speak.
Xie tingxi’s slender fingers caressed her cheek. She seemed to be a little unaccustomed to it. She turned her head and touched her ears with her fingers.
“Can’t I kiss you, or should I hug you?”
The palm that was holding her slender waist seemed to be branded on her skin, and she could feel his hot body temperature through her clothes.
Qu Huaian’s breathing stopped, and his body stiffened in his arms.
“Isn’t this what you wanted?” He asked again.
&Quot; Mr. Xie, you’ve misunderstood. I’ve never thought of it that way. &Quot; She explained.
“Oh.” His answer was very perfunctory, as if he believed her and not. &Quot; then what if I say I took it for real? ”
Her lowered eyes suddenly looked up, and when she looked at him, there was a mixture of shock and disbelief.
“Mr. Xie, don’t make fun of me.” She lifted her hand and took away Xie tingxi’s hand that was touching her ear. &Quot; we don’t belong in the same world. &Quot;
“Whether we are people of the same world or not, it’s up to me.” Xie tingxi’s fingertips touched her ear again. &Quot; do you want to come to my world? ”
Qu Huaian shook his head. &Quot; I … I already have someone I like. &Quot;
Xie tingxi raised his eyebrows. It didn’t seem smart to keep him hanging like this.
“Does he like you?” Since she had said so, he would play along with her.
If he didn’t give her a way out, he was afraid that she wouldn’t be able to continue.
Qu Huaian hesitated for a few seconds before nodding. &Quot; I guess you like it. &Quot;
With the word “probably,” she seemed a little uncertain, and Xie tingxi was convinced that she was lying.
“Then why aren’t you two together?” He wanted to see what other tricks she could come up with.
&Quot; he’s very busy with work. We agreed to talk about this when he’s better at work. &Quot;
Xie tingxi didn’t believe her at all, and he didn’t want to hear her continue making things up. He changed the topic and said,”It’s late, you should go to sleep.”
The big palm that was holding her slender waist was released.
Qu Huaian could finally stand up and put some distance between them. He lowered his head to look at him. &Quot; Mr. Xie, are you still not going to sleep? ”
Xie tingxi leaned lazily on the sofa and said in a low voice, ” “I’ll sit a little longer.”
Qu Huaian still wanted to say something, but he saw him wave his hand and swallow the words he was about to say. &Quot; good night, Mr. Xie. &Quot;
After saying that, he turned around and returned to his room.
Xie tingxi looked out of the window, thinking about something.
Before qu Huaian entered the room, he couldn’t help but turn his head once. He looked at the lonely back of the man on the sofa, and his eyes were a mix of light and darkness.
In the end, he didn’t say anything and pushed the door open.

Probably infected by Xie tingxi, qu Huaian felt dizzy when he woke up the next day. He touched his forehead and found that it was a little hot.
When she left the room, she found out that Xie tingxi had gone to the office early in the morning, and Xie Yumu was sitting at the dining table and eating breakfast.
&Quot; Mumu, I’ve caught a cold. I won’t be sending you to kindergarten today. &Quot;
Xie Yumu looked up at her. &Quot; sister qu, are you okay? ” Did I kick your blanket away last night?”
He didn’t know that qu Huaian had left in the middle of the night and thought that she had only left at dawn.
Qu Huaian shook his head. &Quot; no, I just got up this morning. To avoid infecting you, I won’t be accompanying you for the next few days. You go to kindergarten by yourself, okay?”
Xie Yumu looked at her and thought of her mother’s sick face. He nodded obediently. &Quot; okay, then you have to get well soon. &Quot;
“I will,” Qu Huaian smiled faintly.
To avoid infecting others, she took her breakfast back to her room. After eating, she took her cold medicine and fell into bed, sleeping for the whole day.
That night, Mrs. Kang brought her some food, but she couldn’t eat anymore after two bites, so she lay down and continued to sleep.
Xie tingxi had a social event at night, so it was already past 11 O ‘clock when he returned to the cloud falling house.
He handed his suit jacket to the Butler and looked around. He frowned slightly when he didn’t see the person he wanted to see.
Was he deliberately avoiding her?
The Butler noticed that something was wrong and asked, ” “What’s wrong, Sir?”
“It’s nothing,” Xie tingxi narrowed his eyes. &Quot; is Mumu asleep? ”
“Young master is already asleep.”
“She’s accompanying you?”
The Butler hesitated for a few seconds before he realized who the “she” was referring to. He replied, ” &Quot; no, miss qu is in her room. &Quot;
Qu Huaian did not sign a labor contract, and he only served Xie Yumu in this house, so strictly speaking, he was not a servant. That was why the Butler always called her ” miss qu. &Quot;
Xie tingxi didn’t ask any more questions and went upstairs to take a shower and rest.
The next day, Xie tingxi was awoken by a knock on the door.
