Chapter 440: mouth injury
Chapter 440 The wound at the corner of the mouth
Xia Zhen's worry came true, because Si Zhaoting hadn't seen anyone for two days in a row. She recalled that night and felt that she might have said something wrong.
But she just said "This is the end", why is his face so bad, the man's mind is really hard to understand.
…
On the third day.
Si Zhaoting and his party finally came back, Xia Zhen looked at the man in the dust from a distance, and felt timid for the first time.
She didn't dare to go forward, and left in a state of distraught.
Seeing that Si Zhaoting was looking around as soon as he entered the mansion, Si Zhaohong couldn't help asking.
"Brother, what are you looking for?"
Si Zhaoting said calmly with a poker face.
"nothing."
Si Zhaohong didn't think much about it, and moved to Si Zhaoting's side giggling.
"I thought you were as hungry as I am, brother, you said I did a lot of work this time, how do you plan to reward me? How about we go to a restaurant tonight and have a good drink?"
Si Zhaoting usually doesn't like to go out to eat, so Si Zhaohong has to "eat fast and chant Buddha" at home. He misses the beauties and wine outside, and he can listen to music while eating.
After hearing this, Si Zhaoting only gave him a faint glance.
"I'm tired, go by yourself."
Then he said to the boy next to him.
"The meal will be delivered directly to my room."
Si Zhaohong twitched his lips after hearing this.
"Brother, you are retreating more and more. Why are you still eating in the room? You can come with me. What's the point of drinking alone?"
Si Zhaoting continued to walk forward, his voice indifferent.
"Or you don't go."
Si Zhaohong immediately begged for mercy.
"Don't, I'll go by myself, can't I go by myself, I just happened to go to find little brother Xia Tong, anyway, it's fine for him to stay in the house all day long."
…
Si Zhaoting returned to his room, and when the dishes were served, he didn't move his chopsticks.
He sat upright, as if waiting for someone. As time passed, Si Zhaoting's lips were pursed tighter and tighter.
If it was normal, Xia Zhen could not wait to meet him outside the gate, and would find all kinds of excuses to join him when he entered the house. This time, it was good, he had been back for such a long time, and there was no one in sight.
After a while, he finally got impatient with waiting. At this moment, the maid he sent to Xia Zhen passed by. Si Zhaoting called her over and asked with a cold face.
"What about her?"
The servant girl's name was Chunxiu, and she answered Si Zhaoting's question truthfully.
"Miss Xia should be in her yard."
Si Zhaoting glanced at the inner room upon hearing this.
"Hasn't she lived here these days?"
After hearing Si Zhaoting's question, Chunxiu was a little confused about Xia Zhen's identity. Miss Xia doesn't even count as a concubine, can she live here?
But of course she didn't dare to say that, she just shook her head.
Si Zhaoting was silent for a while after hearing this, and then said in a blunt tone.
"Call her over for dinner."
…
Xia Zhen received Si Zhaoting's "will" and went without daring to stay for a moment. On the way, she couldn't help muttering in her heart.
How could he be so kind to let her go to dinner? Could it be a Hongmen banquet?
After leaving, Xia Zhen was even more sure of her guess, because Si Zhaoting's face was so stinky that it could almost scare off children.
She stood at the door, in a dilemma for a while.
Seeing her standing there, Si Zhaoting moved his thin lips and spit out two words.
"sit down."
Xia Zhen seemed to be controlling people with her voice. After Si Zhaoting finished speaking, she sat on the stool.
Si Zhaoting picked up chopsticks to eat, Xia Zhen looked at the table full of dishes, and didn't show any politeness to him, picked up a spare rib and put it in his mouth.
The temptation of delicious food made her forget the wound at the corner of her mouth. When she opened her mouth, the wound was so tight that it cracked.
Xia Zhen couldn't help hissing, causing Si Zhaoting to look sideways.
