Xin Gan had never liked Cheng Jiu before, and now she had even less affection for him.
In the evening, an off-road vehicle was parked outside the inn. It belonged to Cheng Jiu. He came to look for Xin Gan.
Xin Gan heard a knock on the door. She opened it and saw Cheng Jiu. She was stunned for a moment and asked coldly, "What's up?"
Cheng Jiu's gaze passed over her and he saw Asongli in the room. He said, "Did you pick up this child?"
Xin Gan corrected him, "It wasn't picked up; it was encountered."
Where are his parents?
"Killed."
Cheng Jiu was silent for a while and said, "Then how are you going to handle it?"
Cheng Juhui knew that this matter wasn't difficult. Maybe Jiang Tang had told him when she went back. Jiang Tang had seen the child when she came during the day. She might have asked the innkeeper's wife.
Xin Gan thought for a while and said, "I haven't decided yet."
I've already sent someone to look for other relatives in his family. Just wait a few more days and there will be news soon.
Xin Gan pursed her lips and blurted out, "Thank you very much."
You're welcome.
After saying that, there was a moment of silence in the air. They hadn't seen each other for several days, and Cheng Jiu's unkind tone that day really made her angry. Women hold grudges. She remembered what Cheng Jiu had said at that time, so she didn't have a good expression towards him now, being polite and cold.
Cheng Jiu opened his mouth and suddenly said in a low voice, "Don't worry about what happened that day."
Xin Gan let out an "Oh" and said, "I didn't take it to heart."
Cheng Jiu asked again, "Are you still leaving?"
What? His question was so unexpected that Xin Gan didn't react in time.
Cheng Jiu's gaze fell on her face and he asked seriously, "You said you were going back to Yongcheng before. Are you still leaving now?"
"..." Why doesn't she leave and stay? It's very strange that he asked this.
Cheng Jiu's expression was not good. "Don't go yet. If you go back now, my old man will surely know something's wrong. Stay for a few more days. After I finish my business here, I'll go back with you. Then I'll talk."
She remained silent and didn't reply. She was in a dilemma.
Xin Gan finally spoke up, "Mainly, I have something to do when I return to Yongcheng, so I can't stay any longer. As for the person who made this request, it was I who proposed it. It should be me who made this request."
Cheng Jiu suddenly chuckled, his smile carrying a hint of a rogue air: "Are you so eager to stay away from me?" Am I some kind of fierce beast?
Or do you still remember the cruel thing I did to you that day?
Xin Gan looked at him: "Remember."
Cheng Jiu stared at her, let out a slow breath, and licked his teeth half-heartedly, saying, "I apologize to you. It's indeed my bad tone."
Xin Gan never expected him to apologize. His honesty made her forget to respond for a moment.
Cheng Jiu's expression was straightforward: "The team is not a place where anyone can enter. You came over without saying hello to me. That's why I scolded you. I didn't control my tone well. It was my fault."
Xin Gan was lost in thought. Suddenly, she felt a hot sensation in her nose. She instinctively reached out and touched it. Her fingertips were all wet and greasy. She took a look and found it was blood, a nosebleed.
Cheng Jiu immediately said, "Look up, don't look down."
She behaved obediently and raised her head.
Cheng Jiu's expression was serious. "Go in and lie down."
Xin Gan was half-hugged and half-taken back to her room to lie on the bed. He went into the bathroom and when he came out again, he had a wet towel in his hand, draped over her forehead. She was stunned. How could she have a nosebleed and let him see it?
Asonli was also stunned aside, looking at him at a loss.
Cheng Jiu glanced at Asongli, then looked at Xin Gan for a second, and smiled without a smile, "You're getting angry?"
