Ruan Xiangyi, the stepdaughter of the Ruan family, possessed a gentle disposition and was sensible and obedient. After moving into the Ruan family with her mother, her greatest wish was to graduate...
Chapter 16 Chapter 16 That Person is My Wife
A couple who seemed to be unfamiliar with each other officially entered into married life. Ruan Xiangyi was very nervous at first. She was afraid of being alone with Zhao Qingshi. A week later, she found that she was overthinking.
Zhao Qingshi is very busy and goes out early and comes back late every day.
When she went downstairs, he had already gone to the company. When she was resting, he was still in the company. They often met in the morning and would not see each other until very late. Except for the first night, he always slept in the guest bedroom.
She really thought too much.
It was Saturday, and Zhao Qingshi was busy in the study instead of the company. After feeding the cat, Ruan Xiangyi took the initiative to knock on the study door while he was at home. When she heard him say "come in", Ruan Xiangyi turned the handle and pushed the door open.
He had a laptop in front of him and a Bluetooth headset on his ears, looking busy. She asked shyly, "Are you busy? If so, I'll come back to see you later."
After saying this, she was about to leave the study.
Zhao Qingshi took off his headphones and called her in time: "It's not busy, come in."
Ruan Xiangyi walked in.
"Is there something wrong?" he asked.
Ruan Xiangyi nodded. She pulled out a chair and sat down across from him, placing her hands on the table. After hesitating for three seconds, she asked him, "Well, can we postpone the wedding?"
Zhao Qingshi stared at her hands. Her hands were very small and her skin was delicate. He could probably cover them with one hand. Her knuckles were bare and there was no accessories.
"Don't you want to do it or are you not going to do it for the time being?" he asked.
"I don't have any plans for a wedding right now," she confessed. "I know the media is paying close attention to your life, but I don't want to show my face. I hope our marriage can remain a secret."
To put it bluntly, it is a secret marriage, and they have to pretend not to know each other in front of outsiders!
"You and me?" These three words were not even slightly different from the two words "we." She made such a clear distinction between her and him. The corners of her mouth curled up, "I'll do as you say. I'll do whatever you want."
"You agreed?" She was delighted.
"Anything else you want?" Zhao Qingshi's tone faded. "I'm flying to New York tonight. Let's talk about anything else together."
How could she dare to make so many requests? Ruan Xiangyi shook her head, then realized what he said, "Going to New York? How many days will it take?"
"Maybe a week, the time is uncertain." Zhao Qingshi said while observing her reaction calmly. It was obvious that when she heard that he would be gone for a week, the tension in her body relaxed a lot.
"Is there anything you want?"
Ruan Xiangyi shook her head.
Zhao Qingshi didn't force her: "Do you remember my phone number? You can call me if you have any questions."
Having said that, he knew Ruan Xiangyi would not call him easily.
"Then you go ahead and do your thing. I'll be out first." After finishing talking about important matters, she had no reason to stay here any longer.
The door opened and closed. Zhao Qingshi looked at the door and calculated the time. She had been in there for less than three minutes, and then she made a phone call.
"Change your flight from tomorrow morning to tonight."
In the afternoon, Guo Wen asked Ruan Xiangyi to go out to see a movie, have dinner and talk about the graduation defense. They hadn't seen each other for a long time, and this was a rare opportunity, so Ruan Xiangyi agreed.
The secretary was already waiting at the door. Zhao Qingshi went downstairs and didn't see Ruan Xiangyi. He asked Aunt Cui beside him, "Where's the madam?"
Aunt Cui said, "My wife just went out. She said a friend was looking for her and told us not to prepare dinner for her that night."
Zhao Qingshi frowned: "Did he tell you what to say to me?"
"The lady didn't say anything." Aunt Cui said, "Why don't you give the lady a call and tell her?"
Zhao Qingshi almost laughed out of anger.
Very good.
It's really good.
*
It was almost a month since they last met, and Guo Wen felt that Ruan Xiangyi had gained a lot of weight. Ruan Xiangyi's figure was not the kind of skinny one would find on paper, with all the flesh on her chest and hips. Now, she looked even more round and smooth, like a white bead, and felt fragrant and soft.
If she wasn't a girl, she would have fallen in love with Ruan Xiangyi.
"Xiangyi, why do I feel like your breasts seem to have grown bigger again?" The two of them had lived together in the dormitory for four years, so these words came out of their mouths without any hesitation.
“…”
"My waist feels thinner now." Guo Wen touched it.
Ruan Xiangyi just felt itchy: "Wenwen, you are so lustful."
"Hahaha, no, I'm really envious." Guo Wen was a flat chested girl, and God knows how much she envied Ruan Xiangyi's unique advantages.
Guo Wen bought tickets for a recently released movie. It was already four o'clock when she came out of the movie, so she found a Hunan restaurant nearby.
"How's your graduation thesis preparation going for next year?"
“I haven’t found a suitable case study for the headlines yet.”
"Oh, me too. If I had known it was so difficult to write a paper, I wouldn't have studied journalism." Guo Wen was extremely worried. "By the way, how is your job? Do you have the chance to stay here after graduation? Yitong TV Station is a state-owned enterprise, you must seize the opportunity. Oh, I envy you so much."
Ruan Xiangyi was almost worried to death. By May next year, the baby in her belly would be exactly seven months old. She would go for the defense with a big belly, and everyone's eyes would be on her.
Guo Wen took a bite of the spicy chicken; it was incredibly spicy. This Hunan restaurant's dishes were much spicier than others, but Ruan Xiangyi ate them without batting an eyelid.
"Xiangyi, aren't you spicy?" Guo Wen felt like her throat was on fire.
"I think it's okay." She even picked up a dried chili and put it in her mouth. Guo Wen called it a devil.
"When did you become so tolerant of spicy food?" She remembered that when she was in school, even ordinary green peppers were spicy to her. "It's weird."
"Ruan Xiangyi, there's something wrong with you." Guo Wen suddenly looked at her.
Ruan Xiangyi paused with her chopsticks, suddenly feeling a little guilty, thinking that she had seen something, and her heart tightened: "What's wrong?"
"Your behavior is weird. You used to hate spicy food, but now you can eat it so much. What happened between you and my senior?" It was hard for her not to think too much about it. "Did you break up with my senior completely? You're so heartbroken that even your taste has changed! My senior came to ask me a few days ago if I knew you were getting married. I said he was kidding. How could you possibly get married when you don't even have a member of the opposite sex around you? If you get married, I'll stand upside down and wash my hair in front of him!"
They are indeed married, Ruan Xiangyi thought.
But she didn't dare to say it, pretending to be calm and drinking a sip of water. After such a big change in her life, when she heard Shen Huaimeng's name, she didn't have time to be sad, for fear that Guo Wen would continue to ask.
"Okay, let's not talk about him anymore. Let's talk about something else."
"Ah? Okay." It seems there is really no hope.
While eating, Guo Wen suddenly received a call from her boss, who told her an address and asked her to come over quickly, saying that it would be too late if she went there.
Guo Wen was instantly excited: "Xiangyi, take your time eating. I have some work to do."
Seeing that she looked like she was going to war, Ruan Xiangyi asked worriedly, "Where are you going?"
Guo Wen had no choice but to tell her the whole story.
As a rookie entertainment reporter, she's savvy enough to keep up with gossip about countless celebrities. Just now, she received a tip from her boss: a high-profile celebrity was having a night out with a female fan at a hotel. And most importantly, the man was married. Guo Wen finds this kind of man disgusting and vows to expose him.
Ruan Xiangyi was worried about her and offered to go with her. Guo Wen was more than happy to accept: "You just hide by the wall and I'll pretend to be a hotel staff. Whenever that man shows up, you take out your phone and take pictures."
It was the first time for Ruan Xiangyi to catch someone cheating. Influenced by Guo Wen, she suddenly felt a sense of justice.
After taking a taxi to the hotel, Guo Wen paid the fare and looked at the skyscrapers rising into the sky. She tutted and spat, "He relies on his wife to support him, uses his fans' money to stay in such a nice hotel and then cheat on his wife. Not a single man is good!"
Ruan Xiangyi agreed.
The elevator went straight up to the 30th floor. The corridor was empty. I looked for the room according to the room number and saw a beautiful woman appear in front of me.
The woman was very beautiful, with a petite and pretty face. She was wearing a white fishtail dress that showed off her curvy figure. Her curly hair was scattered behind her. She was standing straight at the door with her bag.
Before entering, Guo Wen didn't even bother to ask the room number: "Are we here too early? They haven't started playing bases yet?"
Ruan Xiangyi wondered, "Could this be a mistake? This sister doesn't seem like a mistress."
"Would a mistress write these two words on her forehead?" Guo Wen said she was too naive. She handed her her phone, turned on the camera and asked her to hide in the corner. "Just record it here. I'll go over and take a look. If it's really her, there's no need to waste so much effort."
After saying that, Guo Wen straightened her body and walked over. She was sure that the room number was in front of the woman, but when she got closer, she found that it was not there, but behind her.
It almost caused a big misunderstanding. Guo Wen quickly pointed to the room in front of her and said, "Record here."
Ruan Xiangyi turned the camera.
Guo Wen pretended to be a staff member and kept knocking on the door, saying in a low voice, "Hello, your order is here."
The next second, the door behind Guo Wen opened.
A handsome man came out, wearing a black suit and shiny leather shoes. However, this man's face looked familiar.
——Zhao Qingshi.
Zhao Qingshi was walking in front of the woman. When he looked up, he saw Ruan Xiangyi hiding in the corner with her cell phone in her hand.
Ruan Xiangyi's hands were shaking almost subconsciously, and the camera was unconsciously aimed at him. Watching him walk towards her step by step, Ruan Xiangyi's mind flashed through Guo Wen's words: All men are not good.
She didn't move.
He lied to her. Didn't he say he had a flight tonight? How could he be in the hotel?
Just one week after getting the marriage certificate, she encountered such an embarrassing scene. She just wanted to pray that she could turn into a ball of air so that she couldn't see her or see her.
Fortunately, Guo Wen's voice woke her up in time, and the male artist showed up. She quickly aimed the camera and accurately captured the face of the male artist who was wrapped in a bath towel and had his upper body naked.
Actually, he is not that handsome.
She looked carefully at the man in the camera, but he still hadn't...
She raised her head and found that Zhao Qingshi had stopped not far away and was staring at her without blinking. Her head felt numb and strange. He was the one who did something wrong, so why did she feel so guilty?
Guo Wen suddenly ran towards her and shouted, "Xiangyi, run!"
Ruan Xiangyi put away her phone and ran away without saying a word.
Xia Li walked over and stopped half a meter away from Zhao Qingshi: "Boss, do you need someone to intercept them and delete the content on their phone?"
Zhao Qingshi paused and looked away: "No need, that person is my wife."
Xia Li shut up consciously.
The news that Zhao Qingshi was married was not deliberately concealed, so most people in the company knew about it. However, Xia Li had not expected to meet the boss's rumored wife in this way. She was a little shocked, but her professional ethics did not allow her to show any surprise. "Okay, boss."
"Let's go, the banquet is about to begin." Zhao Qingshi said calmly, "Find out who this man is."
Xia Li: "Okay."
