"Yes, I'm here to find a friend." Tai Ziqian smiled and said to Sheng Yun. His attitude was a bit distant and not very intimate.
"Oh …" Sheng Yun answered thoughtfully and then looked towards me. Seeing me carrying a stack of documents, he frowned slightly, "Late pregnancy is best to stay at home more. Don't walk around, it was just too dangerous."
"It was an accident. I'm usually very careful." I smiled and said, "I still have to deliver the documents to the Bureau of Science and Technology for approval. I'll be taking my leave first."
"I'll drive you, I just happen to be on the way." Tai Ziqian quickly shouted and followed behind me.
We walked out through the revolving door together, and from the corner of my eye, I saw Sheng Yun still standing there, watching us. However, he did not give chase.
However, as I was sitting in Tai Ziqian's car, I received a message from him: "It seems that you and Tai Feng are getting closer."
He didn't know that I just happened to meet Tai Ziqian. He probably misunderstood and thought Tai Ziqian came to find me.
I didn't reply to his text message, but set my phone aside. Then I turned around and saw Tai Ziqian looking at me as he drove.
He was driving the latest Porsche, which smelled faintly of daisy water, and the interior was clean, devoid of any smell of smoke or leather.
"What's wrong?" I asked, smiling.
"I'm curious about your relationship with him." Then Tai Ziqian laughed again, and I noticed that he was very friendly to me.
"It doesn't matter. We just know each other." I said lightly.
"It doesn't seem to be as simple as knowing him," he continued with a smile, and then added, "He's actually my cousin, but we have very little contact, so we don't have much to do with each other."
"I know." I said frankly.
He was surprised. "How did you know? "I just returned back home, so not many people in the country know me."
"Not only do I know he's your cousin, I also know your father's name is Tai Feng." I laughed again.
When he heard me say that, he was surprised at first, but then he became excited. "Don't tell me you're Xu Shubei? It can't be that coincidental, right? "
It was my turn to be surprised. I looked at him and asked, "How did you know?"
The corners of his mouth curled up even more as he said, "I came here to look for you, but instead went to your company to say that you weren't here. "Unexpectedly, I bumped into you the moment I went downstairs."
"Looking for me?" Did your father ask you to come? " I was even more surprised.
He has just returned from the country and is not related to me in any way, why would he come looking for me so rashly? Unless it was at Tai Feng's behest.
"Well, I know you must think it presumptuous. But when I get back, the first thing I want to do is see you. " He smiled and said, "My father and I are very sad about your family. All these years, we have always been looking for an opportunity to see you, but because of the obstruction of our Xu Family, we have never seen you. "
"Meet me? But you never knew me, did you? "Why would you want to see me?" I couldn't be more surprised.
"You may have forgotten about what we saw when we were young, but I remember it because it was so impressive." "When I was six years old, my father took me to visit your house. At that time, I was shy and didn't like to talk, but you were very bright and lovely and you liked to jump and jump. At that time you took me to your loft and said you wanted to play hide-and-seek with me, but when I was hiding in a cardboard box, you played a prank on me, covered the box with tape, and ran downstairs yourself. Do you still have any impression of this? "
As soon as he said it, I immediately remembered. That was before my parents met with trouble. At that time, I was still a headstrong and headstrong little princess. Her personality was very innocent and she loved to tease those seemingly well-behaved little boys.
At that time, there were a lot of visitors and a lot of playmates. Many things were unclear, but I still remember this matter.
I was trying to tease him, so I taped the box shut, and when some other playmate showed up at the house, I forgot all about it and kept him in that thick box for three hours until dinner, when my lord asked him where he was, and I remembered.
I remember opening the box and seeing the round-headed boy pale and crying. Because of this, I was punished by my parents to spend the whole night in a horse stance. The tiredness of the soreness of the muscles was fresh in my memory.
"So that little boy is you." I couldn't help laughing.
Tai Feng never mentioned this episode. I really don't remember having any contact with his family at that time. My family was flourishing in those few years, and I had numerous little playmates with whom I had played.
"The feeling of loneliness and despair that I felt back then, now that I think about it, I feel as if my heart was pierced by thousands of arrows. Since then, I've been particularly afraid of the dark, afraid of being in a closed space, and then went abroad to see a psychiatrist because of this. " Tai Ziqian said with a smile.
I didn't think that a prank from my childhood would have such an effect on him. I couldn't help but feel guilty. "At that time, I was too naughty. I wanted to lock you up and release you soon, but I forgot about it when I played with someone else. I didn't expect that it would cause such a psychological trauma. I'm really sorry."
"That was when I was a kid, because the first time I saw you, I thought you were really like a Barbie doll. I still remember you in your white princess dress with a bow on your head, your big eyes like you can talk, and your voice. At first I thought you would come find me, so I waited in peace, and then the more I waited the more frightened I became. " He was laughing as he spoke, but I knew that it must have made a shadow over his childhood, or he wouldn't have remembered such a small thing so vividly.
"When you see me later, you must think that I'm a big liar, right?" I asked, looking at him.
"I haven't been to your house since, and I don't believe what the beautiful woman said after that. Until now, I've always had a grudge against beautiful women. All of this was bestowed upon you by you, so you must take responsibility. " He looked at me, half-jokingly.
When he said, "You have to take responsibility," my heart skipped a beat, because the way he looked at me then was so seductive.
"It can't be? "Has it been affecting us since then?" I was surprised.
He laughed again, "No, I'm just teasing you because you've been busy studying all these years, so you don't have the mood to fall in love. I heard about your family and I feel sorry for you. My dad told me to hang out with you more after I returned to the country. After all, you don't have any relatives in this city. We will be your family from now on. "
His words moved me a little. I looked at him and asked with a smile, "Don't you blame me in your heart? I've already made it difficult for you to choose a mate. You should hate me to death. "
"How could that be? You didn't do it on purpose, and that was when I was young." I heard from my father that you are very good at your job. "I've just started out, teach me more from now on." He smiled.
"I can't give you any pointers, but if there's anything you need my help with, just let me know." I also smiled and said, "In the future, I will use my elder sister's name to take care of you and try my best to make up for the trauma that you received from my naughtiness when I was young."
"Compared to your trauma, mine is nothing. Also, how did you become my sister? Am I older than you? " He looked at me.
"In terms of experience, you are a junior. Why don't you just call me elder sister? "Look at you, you've just achieved a lot in your studies, and I'm already an old fox in the martial arts world. It's not bad for you to call me sister." I said, smiling.
"You bullied me when you were young, and now you're bullying me when you grow up?" He laughed out loud, then suddenly reached out to pinch my cheek and said with a laugh, "If I don't teach you a lesson, do you really think I'm still that timid little boy that I was when I was a kid?"
His sudden action made me feel a sense of familiarity. We had met for the first time since we were adults, but it was only because of the small episode when we were children that we had suddenly become closer. However, this kind of feeling was very good, because it was very natural.
"Yes, I've grown up now. I'm taller and stronger than I am, and my arms are harder to look at." I joked.
"It's all thanks to you. From then on, I swore that I wouldn't become a boy who was bullied by others. That's why I tried my best to change my personality and body shape." Then he looked at me and said, "So, good or bad, it all comes from you. On the first day of our return, I met you, so we are fated to be together."
Is he trying to pick me up? Why did he suddenly feel a trace of flirtatiousness? However, his eyes were especially sincere. Could it be that the children who grew up abroad were all so unrestrained when expressing their feelings?
I couldn't help but wipe my sweat as I asked embarrassedly, "Ziqian, what plans do you have after you return?"
"First get familiar with the situation in the country, then start at the grassroots level. When I understand everything, Father will consider letting me take over his position. He said that he had been waiting for me to grow up for many years, and now he hopes that I can quickly be qualified to be his successor. " Tai Ziqian said with a smile. He glanced at my stomach and suddenly sighed. "If he dares to treat you badly, I'll be the first to beat him up."
