Kicked Back to a Rich Family by the Real Eldest Daughter - Chapter 26
Chapter 26
Xie Xiangyi herself was confused by her sudden emotion. Perhaps it was anger at her sister, who had become a stranger, for being a busybody, or perhaps it was because of Tang Jinzhi’s answer.
She was annoyed by Tang Jinzhi’s attitude just now.
How could Tang Jinzhi answer so quickly? She didn’t even think about it!
She and Tang Jinzhi didn’t have a deep relationship, but that didn’t mean she didn’t care.
Unexpectedly, Xie Xiangyi was angry. Tang Jinzhi was stunned for a moment. She quickly moved closer to Xie Xiangyi and sat next to her. She put her hand on her back and patted her gently, coaxing her immediately. “Ah, what divorce? I was just trying to annoy them. It was revenge.”
Xie Xiangyi’s tightly furrowed brows relaxed. She pursed her lips and said nothing, no longer looking at Tang Jinzhi.
Tang Jinzhi gave a light “cough,” patted Xie Xiangyi’s back twice, and continued with a smile, “I’m sorry. It’s my fault for acting on my own. Next time, I’ll definitely consider your opinion first.”
Xie Xiangyi turned her head: “Next time?”
She wanted to know who else was going to force them to divorce. Was it fun?
Tang Jinzhi quickly shook her head and denied: “Next time what next time? There is no next time.”
Xie Xiangyi closed her eyes and took a deep breath. Her tone was a little heavy. “If she comes to find you, please don’t pay attention to her or any of her requests. I have 50 million too.”
Both of them knew who “she” was referring to.
What Xie Xiangyi said to Tang Jinzhi sounded like, “Don’t listen to her. It’s just 50 million. I can give it too!”
Rich.
So rich.
Xie Xiangyi was still waiting for Tang Jinzhi to coax her, but when she turned around, the other person was lost in thought.
“Tang Jinzhi! Did you hear me!”
Tang Jinzhi came back to her senses and nodded vigorously. “I heard you, I heard you. Even if you don’t have 50 million, I won’t pay attention to her. I’m definitely on your side!”
It was a little flattering, but not too much.
Xie Xiangyi, who was easy to coax, was no longer angry. She softened her tone but didn’t forget to add, “No divorce.”
Tang Jinzhi stuttered for a moment and nodded. “Mhm, no divorce.”
No divorce now, but whether they would divorce in the future was still up in the air.
Xie Xiangyi nodded in satisfaction.
“Give me your hand.”
Tang Jinzhi obediently extended her hand and looked at the hand that was resting on her wrist. The confusion in her eyes flashed by.
She almost forgot. Xie Xiangyi was going to “treat” her.
Although Tang Jinzhi didn’t know what was wrong with her.
Afraid of disturbing Xie Xiangyi, Tang Jinzhi sat obediently, looking at her hand for a moment and at Xie Xiangyi’s face for a moment.
In the quiet space, Xie Xiangyi’s voice rang out. She asked, “Have you been dreaming a lot lately?”
Tang Jinzhi blinked and nodded hard, her face full of surprise. She didn’t expect her to be able to tell that.
She spoke very quickly, describing her pain: “I dream so much. It almost kills me to sleep. I dream every night. I even had a dream within a dream this afternoon. I’m so tired, really tired.”
Facing Tang Jinzhi’s pitiful expression for help, Xie Xiangyi turned her head uncomfortably, lowered her eyes, and continued to ask, “Do your eyes feel uncomfortable?”
Tang Jinzhi thought for a moment. “My eyes feel uncomfortable after looking at electronic devices for too long, right? Does a little dry count?”
Xie Xiangyi nodded. “Give me that hand.”
Tang Jinzhi was a little confused, but she was obedient. She turned to face Xie Xiangyi. “Do you have to take my pulse from both hands?”
Xie Xiangyi gave a light “mm” and said no more.
When Zhang Yueqi came out with her phone on a video call, she saw the two of them facing each other. Tang Jinzhi was completely blocked by Xie Xiangyi. From her perspective, the two of them were… kissing!
She also heard her mom’s “wow” from the headphones.
Zhang Yueqi’s face turned red. “Oh! I didn’t see anything!”
The two of them, who had been completely ignoring her, were now attracted by her words and looked over.
Tang Jinzhi’s face was full of confusion: “Saw what?”
Seeing their serious faces, Zhang Yueqi was confused: “Huh? Weren’t you two kissing?”
Did she misunderstand? But the two of them were still holding hands.
Xie Xiangyi looked down at their hands that were still together. She then thought about how she had just told Tang Jinzhi to stick out her tongue to look at it. Her close-up action could indeed be misunderstood.
Xie Xiangyi turned around with her back to Zhang Yueqi. Her ears, which were already flushed from the close distance just now, were now even more conspicuously red.
Tang Jinzhi, who was facing her, saw it.
Seeing Xie Xiangyi’s reaction, Tang Jinzhi secretly laughed at her for being so thin-skinned.
She leaned out and explained to Zhang Yueqi, “Dr. Xie is taking my pulse. You’re overthinking it.”
After saying that, she deliberately moved closer to Xie Xiangyi to tease her. She blinked. “You’ve checked my tongue. Do you want to check my eyes?”
She had asked about it just now. She should probably take a look.
Xie Xiangyi was dazed by Tang Jinzhi’s smiling eyes. She wanted to say no, but Tang Jinzhi had already leaned in.
They were only a fist apart, almost face to face. She inexplicably reached out and cupped Tang Jinzhi’s cheek with one hand.
Their breaths were almost intertwined. Xie Xiangyi immediately took a shallow breath. Just as she was about to look at her eyes, she caught a glimpse of the stunned Tang Jinzhi.
Xie Xiangyi was a little confused. Didn’t she say she wanted her to look? Why was she spaced out?
Tang Jinzhi was screaming in her heart. Xie Xiangyi was cupping her face!
She apologized for her recklessness. She was a little flustered now.
Zhang Yueqi’s headphones also had a similarly excited voice. While scolding Zhang Yueqi, she also instigated, “Yueyue, don’t you know how to push their heads? What a good position, what a good opportunity! Go and push their heads, you idiot! They’re a real couple, what are you afraid of! Pushing their heads will make them kiss! Push!”
After hesitating for less than half a second, the instigated Zhang Yueqi tentatively took a step forward. When she found that no one was paying attention to her, she quickly ran two steps forward.
She didn’t dare to push Xie Xiangyi’s head. She only pushed Xie Xiangyi’s back hard. After seeing the two of them get closer, she immediately turned around and ran back to her room without looking back.
“You child, how can you do such a thing? Don’t tell anyone outside that I’m your mother, you hear me? I’m hanging up. Don’t call me again unless it’s important.”
Zhang Yueqi hid in her room. Before she could even let out a sigh of relief, she heard her mom’s words, which were a complete betrayal. She was completely bewildered.
What? Can you say that again?
She sent a voice message to her mom, who had already hung up, questioning her, “Old lady, please take a good look at who called who?”
This was a blatant lie!
Mom: Read but not replied.
Outside the living room.
Xie Xiangyi’s mind went blank, and her cheeks flushed.
With that push, her lips directly touched Tang Jinzhi’s nose. Her heart skipped a beat, and her breathing stopped instantly.
Because they were close enough, her own chin was also kissed by Tang Jinzhi. It was soft.
Tang Jinzhi’s face also flushed instantly. She felt it was a dream that she had been kissed by Xie Xiangyi and had also kissed Xie Xiangyi.
They had really kissed…
She didn’t even have the mind to think about whether Zhang Yueqi should die now.
Tang Jinzhi let out a light breath, trying to gloss over it. “Did you… did you… finish looking?”
Xie Xiangyi opened her mouth, and the hand holding Tang Jinzhi’s was instantly released. Her mind was blank right now. She had completely forgotten what she had just seen.
“I, I…”
The two of them, who were already awkward, were now stuttering.
Tang Jinzhi touched her wrist, gave a light cough, and extended it again, taking the initiative to help Xie Xiangyi out of her predicament. “How about we take another look?”
Xie Xiangyi just needed to calm down, but when Tang Jinzhi extended her hand, her own hand obediently went over to take it.
Her mind was in a mess, and she couldn’t calm down. Taking her pulse was useless…
Fortunately, Tang Jinzhi withdrew her hand in time.
Tang Jinzhi quickly grabbed her wrist, her eyes flickering. “I don’t think we need to look anymore.”
She wondered if a pulse could reveal a racing heartbeat.
She wanted to save some face for herself.
