Chapter 2: Confining her in his arms
Tammo died not expecting it.
She would be reunited with Xie Qichen in this way.
The man stood behind her for I don't know how long, eh, just as if he was deliberately teasing her, and just kept quiet and just took his time listening to you.
Surprised? Surprised?
And it's just as well that she simply discusses other aspects of Xie Qichen-
She actually joked about his inability in that area.
Not that way.
No, line.
...... embarrassed to the point of wanting to flee the planet.
Tammo's ears burned red when he heard Xie Qichen's words and calmly held back a few words:
"Oh, so you hear...pretty well."
It can also be heard in outer space.
Why don't you go to heaven if you're so capable.
The heart forced Lai Lai, but the face in the end is weak, Tammu picked up the bag, got up and wanted to go, but found that he had to go through the moonhole door where Xie Qichen was.
The man remained where he was, as if he was blocking her.
...... It s over, slipping is not slipping.
Mentally building for a few seconds, Tammo feigned calm as he took a step away and walked over to him.
Standing opposite each other, feeling the presence of that gaze, she suddenly lost her words, "It's been a long time, thanks, thanks ......"
She suddenly didn't know what to call him as the man tugged up the side of his lips, "Losing your memory so quickly?"
"......"
Xie Qichen turned around and stepped onto the long pavilion on the lake behind him, Tammo just happened to be going in that direction as well and could only follow.
For some reason, Tammie didn't take more than a few steps before she was side by side with Xie Qichen.
The breeze wrinkles a pool of autumn water.
It was quiet all around, with only the sparse sound of cicadas.
Tammo couldn't help but turn his head to look at him.
Dappled daylight swayed over him in the shade of the trees.
He looked over and was a different person from before, as if they were separated by a thousand mountains, yet close by.
The man's low voice rang out as he moved forward in silence:
"Come here to meet someone?"
Even after a long time, there were no polite pleasantries.
It was as if the two were already intimate.
She froze and whispered, "Uh, came to talk about something on behalf of the school."
"Is the bill settled?"
She reacted to his comment about spending money here, "I'm going now."
Xie Qichen swept to the assistant following behind, "You go to the front desk."
The assistant nodded.
"No, I'm on my own ......"
Tammo was refusing when he heard the man say in a flat voice, "This place is mine."
...... Dare she come to his place today to talk about things.
Tanmu only knows that Xie Qichen is rich, but specifically how rich to be able to have such a private garden in the city center like place, really do not know.
Feeling pretentious refused up also awkward, Tanmu softly to a sentence of thanks, is saying between, did not pay attention to the feet, stepped down the stone steps, the soles of the feet suddenly empty.
The moment she thought she was going to fall, a hand wrapped around her waist and brought her towards her arms, carrying a heavy sandalwood scent that invaded her nose.
Xie Qichen's hands were strong.
It was like imprisoning her.
Her hand against his chest, subconsciously softly enunciated, Wu Nong's accent sweet and sticky, soft to the bone.
It came tumbling back with certain memories.
The next moment, Tammie felt him release his grip and she took a step back.
The man lowered his eyes to look at her, and the little girl was particularly wary, as if she were like a little kitten recognizing her birth, and scratching at the slightest human approach with her soft, powdery paws.
Tammo lightly bit his red lips to stabilize his mind, and two seconds later the man's deep hoarse voice broke the delicate atmosphere:
"Home or back to school, I'll give you a ride."
Before she could refuse, a middle-aged man walked over and extended his hand towards the person beside her, "Mr. Xie, long time no see!"
Xie Qichen's expression was slightly astringent as he shook his hand, "Mr. Chen."
"I didn't think it would be such a coincidence to run into you here ......"
The other party and Xie Qichen climbed up, Tammu saw this and slipped away quickly.
The man said he wouldn't bother after a few sentences and left, and Xie Qichen turned his eyes, only to realize that Tammo was nowhere to be seen.
"The kitten did run away.
The assistant who knew something on the side stepped forward and asked tentatively, "Mr. Xie, do you want to chase them out?"
Emotions swept across Xie Qichen's brows, he turned his wristwatch, his face dark and uncertain, and turned toward the box, "No need."
......
On the other end, Tammie came out of the clubhouse and hailed a cab.
Because just directly hung up Ji Shu's phone, after getting on the car, she gave Ji Shu back a message, the other end to learn what happened, gloating to send a big smile emoticon: [really can not behind the back of the mouth of the people, retribution hahahaha].
Tammo: "......"
Meow, who brought this up first?
Thinking about just now, Tanmu still feels awkward to suffocate, and the encounter was too unexpected, now she does not know how to face Xie Qichen, how can he send her back, of course, ran away.
Tammie opened the car window and the wind that rushed in swept the memories drifting.
When she was sixteen, she met Xie Qichen for the first time.
On that day, in the rosy sunlight, the teenager stood under the school's balsam camphor tree, white clothes and black pants clear and elegant, leaning down to look at her level, with a gentle smile emerging from the bottom of his eyes:
"Tammie, is it?"
Tammo remembered the way he had seen him talking to someone as he walked away earlier.
The man has long since faded away from the juvenile sense, a reserved, like the city is deep.
It's like the moon in the sky, as before, out of reach.
-
Returning to the apartment from the clubhouse, the reunion with Xie Qichen didn't affect Tanya too much; after all, there was a more important matter weighing on her mind at the moment.
That's when she talked the school out of a partnership with TOC.
The ...... people are disliking the fact that drones are turning into paper airplanes.
Two days later, Tammu returned to school, after the morning class, she looked for the responsible school teacher in the afternoon, "apologize", said what happened.
I don't regret disliking the TOC's, but she really didn't do a good job.
The teacher was furious when she found out, "You, you, why can't you control your temper when it matters ......"
However, although the other party is angry, but also know Tammo warm and soft nature, if it is not the other party is too much, but also not to tear the face.
He sighed, "This company has an arrogant attitude and is sitting on the fence, we don't have enough budget in the first place, so there's really no need to cooperate, it's just that the drone show has to be finalized before the meeting this Friday night, otherwise how are we going to explain it to the leaders."
Tammo looked to him at the end and opened his mouth, looking serious:
"Teacher, this is my problem, I'll fix it, and I definitely won't delay the school festival."
......
Tammie came out of the office building with a large flaming cloud spreading across the sky, and it was already evening.
A sports car pulled up in front of them and the window lowered to reveal Kishu's face, "My good Mal, you've finally come down."
Tammie pulled the door open and got in the passenger side, "Been waiting long?"
"It's fine, I'm willing," Jishu smiled, "After all, I'm going to have to work hard for you to accompany me to the reception tonight."
Jishu is two years older than Tanmu, graduated from college into their own company, tonight she is going to a cocktail party to make some contacts, a person is bored, then softly let Tanmu accompanied.
This day after day, talking about cooperation and accompanying people to socialize, Tammu felt like she was going to turn into an octopus.
On the way, Tammo and Jishu talked about the drone, and Jishu exclaimed, "Why don't you just ask your dad for help? Your family is obviously so powerful."
In fact, the group owned by Tan's father is also a large-scale enterprise, which holds a great deal of importance in Lycheng, and also makes drones, responsible for the design of wings and propulsion systems, and is an important supplier of domestic drones, which is why that Director Cui is so looking down on domestic drones, and that's why she's upset.
Tammo as long as the drag father to use his contacts can negotiate cooperation, but a few days ago she looked for Tammo father, the other side is so busy that he did not say a few words and hung up the phone, coupled with the fact that she really do not want to bother him, so she intends to rely on their own.
"So not being able to work with TOC, what are you going to do next?"
Tammo was silent for a few seconds.
"I'm looking for Avantech."
"Avantron?" Jishu reacted for two seconds, "Isn't that the Xie family's group?!"
Avantronics, a civilian drone enterprise founded by the Xie family, is currently flourishing in the domestic drone field, its strength should not be underestimated, and it is the only one that can compete with TOC.
She didn't know if Avantron took on the drone show business and called to inquire about it this afternoon and was told to get back to her later.
"But going to work with Avantron, is that a possibility with Shea ......"
Jishu wanted to say something.
Tammo heard the words and rippled at the tip of his heart.
"Don't be in a hurry, the car will be there, look again." Jishu comforted her.
"Well ......"
The night fell and the car pulled up to the hotel.
Jishu handed out the invitation and led Tammo into the banquet hall, the two of them each took a glass of wine, Jishu was going to go to the circle to say hello, Tammo went to the less crowded corners first, surveying the clothes around.
Tammo took a sip of the wine, and it was silky smooth and mellow.
She's quite a drinker, just not a very good one.
A few moments later, Jishu came back to her, his face unable to hide his excitement, "Mal! I just learned a piece of news!"
"What?"
"The one hosting the reception tonight is Zhang's General Manager Xiao Zhang, do you know who Xiao Zhang is on good terms with?"
Tangmu was puzzled and heard Ji Shu say, "Xie Qichen! Xie Qichen will probably be there tonight! There are definitely a lot of people running to him tonight."
Tammie's heart tightened.
"It's likely that he's going back to China to take over Avantron, aren't you worried about the drones? Why don't you ask him for help? He will definitely agree, after all, he favored you so much in the beginning ......"
Tammo was stunned and was busy pushing her away, "Come on."
How could she thank Kishen for his help, wasn't it embarrassing enough.
"You hurry up and worry about yourself first, aren't you going to meet some old bosses?" Tammo pulled away from the conversation.
"I'm going to go then, you'll be alone for a while."
Jishu left, Tanmu fingertips rubbing the wine glass, turned his eyes to look at the guests coming in at the entrance of the banquet hall, his mind floating for a long time, and then quickly calmed down again.
Now that Xie Qichen has returned to China, they are in the same circle and will always run into each other, it's not uncommon.
She withdrew her eyes and thought no more about it, yet to everyone's surprise - the man hadn't shown up long after the reception had begun.
Many people's baskets have turned out to be empty.
Tammie drank her wine, and before she knew it, she was drunk.
Microbrews, received a message from the Avanti Group employees, the other side of the friendly attitude that the drone show projects they rarely take, if you need to go through the process, it is estimated that Friday can give her a reply.
But on Friday she was going to turn in.
Jishu came back to see Tammo worried, learned what happened, Jishu did not say anything and left, who knew that when he came back, mysteriously stuffed a note to Tammo:
"Sister I wasted a lot of time asking for you."
Tammo saw the note read: 3312.
"What's this?"
"Xie Qichen is not expected to come to the reception, but he's been staying at this hotel for the last few days, here's the room number, go get him and ask for help."
What's going on? Crazy!
Tammo was just about to refuse when Jishu's words toppled back, "Don't be embarrassed at this time! Be thick-skinned! School matters are most important! How are you going to deal with the school when the time comes!"
"I ......"
The note in her hand seemed to have heat, burning Tammie's face more and more.
Five minutes later.
I don't know whether it was the situation or the wine that made him bold, but when he came back to his senses, Tammo had already taken the elevator to the top floor of the hotel.
This floor was the executive or presidential suite, a quiet setting, and stepping on the soft carpet, she could smell the faint scent of fine perfume in the air.
Walking to the door of the room whose number was written on the note, Tammo hesitated for a long time and managed to gather the courage to press the doorbell, however, no one answered.
Hasn't Xie Qichen come back yet?
She surveyed her surroundings, somehow having a bit of a heart attack.
She's simply here to talk business, why does it look like she's offering to do something ......
But would Xie Qichen agree to do her this favor, thinking about what he heard two days ago when she talked about him like that.
...... Tammo suddenly felt immense regret for his high mouth.
It's over, I haven't seen him for so long and he's pissed off again, what should she say later to flatter him ah oooh oooh oooh oooh.
She had had a little too much wine in the evening, and at the moment her drunkenness was catching up with her, and she was leaning dizzily against the wall, organizing her words, and was tensing up when she suddenly heard the elevator ding.
She turned her head to look, and the person she was thinking of suddenly imprinted into view--
The man's body is long, outside draped in a dark long coat, with the wind and dust, as if just busy, such as knife carved eyebrows with a faint tiredness, followed by a few assistants, through the upper body of the aura.
Seeing Xie Qichen, Tanmu, who hadn't yet done any psychological construction, suddenly wimped out, so scared that he pretended to be a resident and turned around to walk in the opposite direction of him.
Without taking two steps, a deep, cold male voice came from behind--
"Tammo, you hide again."
"......?"
How did he recognize her by her back?
Tammo had to turn around to see Xie Qichen say something to them, and the assistant nodded and left.
And then she met the man's glancing gaze, and the next moment he lifted his step and came toward her.
Reaching her, his tall figure blocked her path, trapping the petite woman.
The night was dark and the promenade was dimly lit.
A few seconds later, she heard the man's voice land on top of her head with the coolness of the night, "A few meanings."
Tammo raised his drunken hazel eyes to meet his eyes, the light and shadow swept over his high nose, shadowed, ascetic and provocative.
At a loss for words, his voice fell again:
"Tammo."
"Talk."
Tammu couldn't leave, but could only tell the truth: "I just ...... have something to come to you to do a favor ......"
Tammo drooped his drunken head, wanting to cry, biting his red lips lightly, softly opening his mouth without having time to go through his brain, "It's just, it's just that I haven't figured out how to flatter you yet ......"
She lurched, trying to find support against the wall, when suddenly her arm was taken in a grip and brought forward a few moments, and she subconsciously tugged at the sleeve of his suit, and he snapped closer.
Clothes fabrics issued friction sound, two people's breath staggering mishmash, such as vines will two people entangled, ambiguous atmosphere climbed.
Xie Qichen took out his room card from his pocket.
The door to the room next to him dripped open.
The man held her up with one hand, his deep ink-like eyes dropping down, landing straight on the small girl in a drunken state:
"Well, then come in and think about it."
