Xixi: "Your joke is so cold."
Rick: "I'm serious."
Xixi: "…"
Just as Xixi was about to speak, she heard a knock on the door.
Rick turned around with a serious expression. "Come in."
"Godfather, we really should go … There's some trouble in the States," Rick's subordinate said as he looked at Xixi, treating her as a burden.
"I got it. You can leave now." Rick's expression was still indifferent, no one could tell if he was happy or angry.
"But, Godfather, we don't have much time left. If this goes on …"
Before the man could finish his words, he was kicked out by Rick.
"Get out."
The man was so scared that he didn't dare to say another word. He immediately closed the door and retracted his head.
Then, Xixi bit her lips and sat beside Rick. She held his hand and said, "Rick, you've been with me for a few days now. I know you're someone who's going to do great things. There's a lot of things waiting for you to do. So … don't stay with me all the time. Although I really want to be with you, I'm not an immature person …"
"It's okay. Don't think too much." Rick held Xixi's hand and comforted her gently.
I don't want to be a burden to you, and I won't persuade you to quit like a saint. After all, you were born in that kind of environment. I know there are many things you can't do, and it's not easy for you to quit. So, if you're busy, go do what you have to do. As long as … as long as you have me in your heart, you can come back to see me when you miss me. "Xixi obviously didn't have much confidence in the latter part of her sentence. In fact, she was very afraid of being separated from Rick.
They had been separated for more than three years, and it was long enough. She wanted to stay with him for even a moment.
But she knew it was impossible and didn't want to put pressure on Rick.
"But your injuries haven't healed yet …" Rick put his arm around Xixi's shoulder and leaned against her, his heart aching.
"My injuries are fine now. Didn't Sister Mian say that I just need to rest in the future?"
"It's okay. You just need to recover. Nothing else is important." Rick decided to prioritize Xixi's injuries.
During this period of time, he had stayed in the country for so long. Many things were remotely controlled by phone, but it was still not as convenient as being there in person.
Therefore, there was indeed some trouble in the United States, but it was nothing compared to Xixi's injury.
Rick spent the New Year with Xixi and spent more than ten days at the hot spring hotel before and after the New Year.
This was something he had never experienced before. In the past three years, he didn't even dare to think about such leisurely days.
"Rick …"
"Hmm?"
"The hotel is a bit boring. Why don't we … go back to C City and find Sister Mian? I miss the twins …"
"Okay, you decide." Rick had always been a man of few words. As long as it was something Xixi liked, he would agree.
Just like that, Rick and Xixi returned to C City.
Xixi was going to bring him to meet her family. After all, they were truly in a relationship, so meeting the parents was inevitable.
However, because of Rick's identity, he was afraid that he would implicate Xixi's family. In the end, he decided not to visit them.
That night, Rick went to look for Qin Chu to catch up.
Xixi dressed up beautifully and went home to have dinner with her parents.
Although her parents complained that she was unreliable for going out to play during the New Year, they still forgave their younger daughter and didn't ask about her whereabouts.
After dinner, Xixi pushed open the door and entered her sister's room.
"Hi … Sis, what are you doing?"
Seeing her sister suddenly barge in, Nie Lingxuan immediately put down the things in her hands and looked a bit unnatural.
