Ye Xi frowned, she pursed her lips and did not say a word, quietly looking out the window.
Without hearing Ye Xi's reply, Qiao Jinglian frowned slightly. A haze flashed past her phoenix eyes and her lips tensed up, but the speed at which she was driving had unknowingly increased.
Sensing that the car was getting faster and faster, Ye Xi was startled, her pair of small hands grabbed onto the safety belt tightly, as her moist eyes looked at Qiao Jinglian, slightly panicking.
He turned around with a tight face, a cold curve on his face, and his thin lips were pursed into a straight line, bearing with it his anger.
Ye Xi's fair brows furrowed even more. Thinking that today was his birthday, she shouldn't have angered him ? Fine, although she really didn't feel like she was provoking him.
A trace of helplessness swept past his black eyes. Ye Xi took the initiative to ask, "Brother Lian, are we going to the old dwelling?"
She remembered that every time he had a birthday, it was at the Qiao Family Mansion and the Grandpa Qiao had given it to him.
And every time she was dragged back to the old house by him.
Before she was twelve years old, she had always liked to climb up to the roof of the old house with him after di
er, carrying a cake lit by a candle, and be childish enough to ask him to make a wish.
The boy always felt awkward making a wish on the cake, so every time she tried to coax him, he would reluctantly make a wish.
Afterwards, without cutting the cake, the two of them each scooped a spoon and ate the cake while looking at the stars.
Even after he was twelve, every year until he left the country, it was almost always like this.
As Qiao Jinglian himself had said, no matter how absurd his daily play days with his friends were, he would always be with her at all times on his birthday.
Thinking about those days, Ye Xi still felt deeply touched.
She and Qiao Jinglian really had too many memories.
In these memories, other than the years when he had bullied her, it was also so warm. When people thought about it, they couldn't help but smile.
At that time, they had been so i
ocent and carefree. It was not like they had grown up now ?
In Ye Xi's mind, the image of that person's handsome and deep face appeared, and her long eyelashes couldn't help but droop slightly, blocking the sadness in her eyes.
"Why are you going to my house? Do you think that old man Qiao Jing Yuan has not given you enough face? " Qiao Jinglian said coldly.
Qiao Jing Yuan was the grandfather of Qiao Jinglian, Third Young Master Qiao!
Ye Xi looked at him helplessly, "He's your grandfather." How could he call the Grandpa Qiao old man that shamelessly?
"Hmph." Qiao Jinglian let out a light snort from his nose, "I was just about to break off all relations with him.
Break off all ties?
Ye Xi said, "Brother Lian, don't be so willful. Grandpa Qiao is your grandfather after all, don't talk about cutting off our relationship.
Ye Xi sighed in his heart.
He had a nagging feeling that Qiao Jinglian's mind was even more immature than her. After all these years, he had grown up!
"If you hear it, you hear it!" Qiao Jinglian glanced at her impatiently, "Can you not mention the insignificant person when you are with this grandpa?"
"?" Grandpa Qiao is not important?
Ye Xi was speechless!
Qiao Jinglian and Ye Xi first went to Bai Lian to buy steak ingredients and some fresh fruits. Afterwards, Ye Xi went to the cake shop and bought a cake for them.
Seeing Ye Xi carrying the cake out of the cake shop, Qiao Jinglian leaned on the car with a particularly disdainful expression, but the phoenix eyes under his sunglasses smiled deeply, "Ye Xi, you buy the cake every year for my birthday, can you be more creative?"
Ye Xi rolled her eyes at him. "Birthday cake is supposed to be eaten on your birthday anyway."
Qiao Jinglian shrugged. When she walked in, he rubbed her little head, then leaped into the sports car.
Ye Xi sweated a bit, it was not as carefree as him, so he obediently opened the car door and got in.
"Brother Lian, where are we going?"
Half an hour later, Ye Xi found that they were driving out of the city. Frowning, he looked at Qiao Jinglian who was leisurely driving beside him.
Qiao Jinglian glanced at Ye Xi's flustered little face, and smiled sinisterly: "Where's grandpa, I'm preparing to bring you to a place where even if you shout till your throat breaks, no one will come to save you."
"I want to get off!"
Without waiting for Qiao Jinglian to finish speaking, Ye Xi's face flushed red. She angrily grabbed the door handle and opened it.
Qiao Jinglian's breathing stagnated, and he hurriedly locked the car door. He looked at Ye Xi in amusement and anger, "Little coward, did you get taken away by a wolf? [Look at you. Do you even know how to use your brain? If this grandpa wants to kill you, can you really run away?! "
Ye Xi twitched his mouth and ignored the man, turning to look outside the window.
Qiao Jinglian whistled at Ye Xi the thug, then lifted his lips and sped up.
The indigo sports car, on the smooth road, like a beautiful scenery, driving under the blue sky and white clouds.
The car stopped in front of a castle in the forest that could only appear in fairy tales.
Ye Xi's mouth was agape, she looked at the white castle that suddenly appeared at the center of the forest, "Brother Lian, this place is..."
With just a glance, Qiao Jinglian knew that she really liked it here.
With a smirk, Qiao Jinglian took off the sunglasses in front of his eyes and hung them under the collar of his snow-white shirt. Then, like an elegant prince, he slowly opened the door and alighted.
His slender body gracefully walked to Ye Xi's front, and opened the car door for him, giving him a jade white palm.
Ye Xi was still in the midst of shock seeing the ancient fortress, and seeing his extended hand, without much thought, she placed her palm in his hand.
A trace of deep love flashed across Qiao Jinglian's phoenix eyes. He slowly held her hand and pulled her out of the car, walking towards the ancient fortress.
Pushing open the carved and hollow door made of red sandalwood, the scene inside made people's eyes light up and marvel.
On the white jade floor, there was a clear fountain, and outside the fountain, there were all kinds of flowers blooming.
On both sides of the white jade road, which was separated by the fountain, were clumps of cedar trees that had been cut into various shapes. These cedars reminded Ye Xi of the cuddly and vivid stump that had been cut out from Edward the Slicer in the movie Edward the Slicer.
Under the contrast of these cypresses, this huge castle seemed to be full of vitality. Being in it made people happy, and their whole body seemed to be filled with limitless strength because of this vitality.
Suddenly, Ye Xi was attracted by one of the tree leaves.
