Chapter 922: Opposing Worlds (17)
Just as Tian Jie was still carefully analyzing the situation, a child's tender voice suddenly rang out from outside the door: "Mommy, how long do you think the person behind this door will continue to eavesdrop on our conversation?"
The woman replied gently, "If Xixi wants to know, just go knock on the door and ask."
"Okay, then I'll go see which bastard is eavesdropping on us!" The little boy's voice revealed a hint of dissatisfaction and curiosity.
Hearing this, Tian Jie's face instantly turned gloomy, and a sharp light flashed in his narrow eyes. Before anyone could knock on the door, he suddenly opened it.
The moment the door opened, Tian Jie and the woman outside looked at each other and asked, "What are you doing?"
Standing at the door was a mother and son in matching outfits. The woman's long, blue-black hair was simply tied up with a white hairpin, adding to her elegance.
She was wearing a tight, black, sleeveless cheongsam embroidered with silver flower vines, which perfectly outlined her curvaceous figure. Her jade-like skin, set against the cheongsam, seemed to emit a faint white light.
She was wearing a pair of pure white high heels, her fingers were slender and long, and she was holding the hand of the little boy beside her.
The little boy, about five or six years old, raised his hand as if to knock on the door. He was wearing a white shirt, a black vest, and a black bow tie. His hair was neatly combed back, making him look very energetic.
His big eyes were like deep lakes, clear and bright, but the way he stared at him revealed his undisguised disdain for him, as if he were something disgusting.
Tian Jie frowned slightly, and a hint of doubt arose in his heart.
It was clearly the first time he met this little boy, so why was there such strong disgust in his eyes towards him?
Although he was puzzled, Tian Jie was still able to keenly perceive that there was no murderous intent towards him from the mother and son.
But Tian Jie's hand hidden behind the door was already ready for a counterattack.
The woman just looked at him quietly. After a few seconds of silence, she said lightly: "As you heard, we are here to find his old man." Her tone was calm, without any ripples, as if she was just stating a very ordinary fact.
The woman also gently rubbed the little boy's head, her gesture gentle and intimate, which formed a sharp contrast with her indifferent attitude towards him.
Tian Jie did not lower his guard after hearing this. He was silent for a moment, and before the other party could make a move, he said in a cold voice: "I am the only one on this floor." His words were concise and clear, without any hesitation.
The woman looked at Tian Jie thoughtfully, then suddenly smiled and tilted her head nonchalantly, "It doesn't matter. Since he's not here, we won't bother him."
The little boy on the side was obviously quite dissatisfied with Tian Jie's attitude. He snorted at Tian Jie indignantly, and then glared at him fiercely, looking like an annoyed little beast.
Finally, the little boy was pulled by his mother and turned to walk towards the door opposite Tianjie.
Tian Jie's face was gloomy, his eyes fixed on the woman. His voice was low and serious, "What on earth do you want to do?"
The woman seemed to be oblivious to his question. She was completely immersed in her own world, concentrating on figuring out how to open the door lock.
Time passed minute by minute, and soon, with a crisp "tick" sound, the smart lock was successfully opened, and the door was slowly pushed open a crack.
The woman then slowly turned around, her movements graceful and calm, as if everything was under her control.
Her eyes met Tian Jie's, revealing a kind of indifference and calmness. "As you can see, we are preparing to move in."
Tian Jie's brows furrowed tightly, and his voice lowered to a level with a hint of danger and warning. "You're going to live here. Have you asked me?"
