Chapter 31 Chapter 31 Then Kiss Me

Zhao Qingshi drove the car outside and opened the door. He helped Ruan Xiangyi get out of the car and sent her to the yard. The lights in the yard were still on. Jiang Ruzhi came downstairs to pick her up. When she saw their hands holding each other, she paused.

Zhao Qingshi raised his eyelids to glance at her, and Jiang Ruzhi's heart trembled. She felt that the look in his eyes seemed to be full of hostility. Would he end his career as a journalist?

Ruan Xiangyi had difficulty with her legs, so Zhao Qingshi took her upstairs and drove away shortly afterwards.

Jiang Ruzhi was the only one left in the room, and Li Yingxue would not be back tonight.

Ruan Xiangyi brought her some midnight snacks. Jiang Ruzhi suddenly wanted to drink, and there happened to be a box of Snow Beer downstairs.

Ruan Xiangyi picked out a skewer of beef for her: "I won't drink."

Jiang Ruzhi took it and took a bite: "I remember you can drink quite well."

Ruan Xiangyi smiled and said, "So I have to quit drinking."

Jiang Ruzhi didn't say much. She talked to her about her recent gains. She hadn't had time to chat with anyone in the seven or eight days since she came here.

"It's really nice here. The air is fresh and the people are nice. Aside from the difficult roads and the cow dung, I really like it here."

Jiang Ruzhi said happily, "Uncle Liu's cow gave birth to a calf today! It's the first time I've seen it! What a pity you weren't here. Ah, life is so magical!"

"A little, but I've seen lambs."

"when."

"You were also very cute when you were a child in your hometown." Ruan Xiangyi smiled.

"Haha, yes, all species are cute when they are young."

Ruan Xiangyi agreed with this point.

Talking about work, Jiang Ruzhi put down her beer bottle and said, "You know, I actually don't like journalism. My parents forced me to choose it. They actually wanted to train me to be a TV anchor because they thought it was a respectable job and would give me face in front of relatives and friends. Before going to the TV station to report, I had an argument with them and applied for a job in the editorial department out of spite. I wasn't used to this hard and tiring work, and sometimes I even had the urge to leave. But since coming here, my thoughts have changed. I understand the mission and challenges of being a reporter. I think I've fallen in love with this profession. I've decided to do special reports on rural revitalization!"

The young girl, less than 24, spoke freely about her ideals without any shyness. Her smile was so vibrant and energetic. Ruan Xiangyi was happy for her: "You will definitely succeed!"

"The same to you."

“We will all get better and better!”

The two girls chatted until midnight. Later, Jiang Ruzhi talked about her ex-boyfriend cheating on her during the few days when she came to Guizhou. She cried sadly.

Jiang Ruzhi wiped her tears and got up from Ruan Xiangyi. She accidentally glanced at a bright red mark on her neck. She had also had a boyfriend before, so she knew it was a hickey and it was fresh.

Why are all the beautiful women obsessed with these stinky men!

Seeing that she was staring at her neck, Ruan Xiangyi hesitated for a moment and asked uncertainly, "Is there something on my neck?"

"There are strawberry marks." Jiang Ruzhi said.

"..." Ruan Xiangyi cursed Zhao Qingshi in her heart. When the car drove out of the yard, he pulled her for a long time. It must have been him doing it on purpose.

Ruan Xiangyi zipped up her clothes awkwardly.

Jiang Ruzhi didn't want to say anything more; that was someone else's choice. She had drunk too much and went to the bathroom. When she came back, she heard Ruan Xiangyi tell her a shocking secret.

The alcohol content of beer is not high. Even if she has a low alcohol tolerance, one can of beer will not make her drunk.

Xiangyi just told her that she was married to Zhao Qingshi.

“???”

“!!!”

What? ?

After a long pause, Jiang Ruzhi stammered, "Really?! Are you really not playing dare with me?"

Ruan Xiangyi nodded: "Really, I didn't hide it from you on purpose. I just didn't want people to know about my relationship with him, so I kept it a secret."

Jiang Ruzhi was stunned: "Does anyone else know?"

"It's just you at the moment."

It’s over, it’s over, it’s over…

Jiang Ruzhi's face turned pale, and she realized it belatedly. No wonder Zhao Qingshi looked at her with murderous eyes just now. It turned out that she had ruined someone else's good thing. Just now, she had scolded the other person's husband in front of everyone, and she had been scolding him for so long. She was going to die!

Jiang Ruzhi looked like she wanted to cry, and she turned her back and pounded the ground.

Ruan Xiangyi had already guessed that she would have this reaction, which was one of the reasons why she didn't want to make it public.

As a journalist, one has to get used to ups and downs of information, and Jiang Ruzhi adjusted quickly.

Holding the air microphone, I asked, "Ms. Ruan, let me ask you, how does it feel to get married so young?"

Ruan Xiangyi: "The truth or just a formality?"

"Of course it's the truth! When you make it public later, these will all be my headlines."

Ruan Xiangyi thought about it carefully and said, "It's a little unreal. I still feel like I'm dreaming."

Jiang Ruzhi laughed secretly behind the camera and made a hypothesis: "If this is really a dream, what would you do?"

Ruan Xiangyi said honestly: "If this is really a dream, I would like to continue doing it."

After saying that, my ears felt hot.

Jiang Ruzhi uttered a few "oh"s and teased her deliberately, "He suddenly appeared in the yard that day and carried you upstairs in front of us. I thought to myself, what kind of idol drama is this? And when we were having dinner today, I saw him keep his eyes on you. I was wondering if he was deliberately trying to seduce you. I almost thought you, this little white rabbit, were going to be seduced away. I didn't expect that you are the woman holding his lifeline."

Ruan Xiangyi: "It shouldn't be that exaggerated."

"Yes! It's exaggerated!" Jiang Ruzhi said, "I think he must like you very much. You may not have noticed that every time he looks at you, there is a gentle smile in his eyes."

Ruan Xiangyi was slightly stunned.

Yeah.

There was a rich lady hiding beside her. Jiang Ruzhi was almost knocked unconscious. She shouldn't have dared to believe it: "But I'm really sorry for scolding Zhao Qing in front of you just now. Will you be unhappy? I misunderstood that you and him had that kind of relationship. I really didn't mean it."

Ruan Xiangyi shook her head. "It doesn't matter. I know you care about me. Now that the misunderstanding is resolved, you don't have to worry."

After a night of ups and downs, Jiang Ruzhi felt extremely tired. She didn't know if it was because of the alcohol. "Xiangyi, I feel a little dizzy. I want to rest first. You should rest early too."

…

That night, Xiangyi had a nightmare. She dreamed that Zhao Qingshi held a knife to her neck and said viciously, "Do you love me or not?"

She sat on the ground, her eyes red: "I have always loved you."

"You think I believe it?"

"I'm telling the truth."

He suddenly let go of her, sat on the chair, crossed his legs and leaned over: "How many times do you want to lie to me?"

"I didn't lie to you."

"Okay, then kiss me now." He put down the knife and stared at her with his deep eyes.

She slowly straightened up and cupped his face and kissed him.

…

Ruan Xiangyi was startled awake by this dream, covering her face and wailing. How could she have such a strange dream, a domineering CEO forcing her to love him? She must have read too many novels in school to have such wild fantasies now.

Because of this dream, Ruan Xiangyi was restless all morning. She opened her phone and habitually looked for his name. He hadn't sent her a message today. She had an indescribable feeling. She wrote for a while, and then the rain started to fall outside. She remembered the five hours he waited for her outside the courtyard that day.

She seemed a little too much for him.

Jiang Ruzhi told her that there was a tourist attraction nearby where many young people liked to check in. Ruan Xiangyi checked the map and found that it was less than a hundred kilometers away from them. After making a plan, she knocked on the door opposite.

The filming ended yesterday, and today was free time. Ruan Xiangyi told her that she might not be back tonight. Jiang Ruzhi smiled secretly: "I understand."

When Zhao Qingshi received Ruan Xiangyi's call, he had just finished an online meeting with the headquarters. Xia Li was about to report other work to him, but he raised his hand to interrupt and answer the phone first.

Xia Li had never seen her boss's expression change so quickly. This morning, his face had been gloomy. Just now, she had received Amelie's complaint: "Is the weather in Guizhou bad, so the boss is in a bad mood today?" In just a few tens of seconds, she saw the concrete image of an iceberg melting on his face: his brows relaxed, and his eyes gradually brightened.

There was no doubt that it was my wife on the other end of the phone.

Xia Li was just thinking about whether to come back later when Zhao Qingshi hung up the phone and called her over: "I heard that Guizhou has a lot of great attractions. I'm giving you three days off. You can have some fun here. If you feel lonely, you can call your boyfriend over. I'll reimburse your airfare."

After saying that, he seemed to remember something: "Oh, your boyfriend hasn't had winter vacation yet. I remember you and Amelie are very close. You can invite her over and I'll approve her leave."

Xia Li couldn't help but slander, you just scolded him with a cold face, wouldn't he think it was a Hongmen Banquet?

Xia Li maintained her usual professional smile: "Thank you, boss."

Zhao Qingshi walked out the door, in a good mood: "You're welcome."

Half an hour later, Zhao Qingshi's car pulled up to the door. Ruan Xiangyi limped out with her bag on her back. She bumped into Zhou Zilang who was returning. He hadn't noticed Zhao Qingshi's car and asked casually, "Are you going out?"

Ruan Xiangyi nodded.

Zhou Zilang thought she was going with Jiang Ruzhi, so he reminded her: "It's time to relax, but you two girls still have to pay attention to safety. If you encounter anything, you can call me..."

Before he could finish, he saw Jiang Ruzhi standing in the corridor on the second floor, and the words on his lips fell silent...

At this time, Zhao Qingshi opened the door and got out of the car. Seeing him coming over, Zhou Zilang's brain was about to burn out. He lowered his voice and said, "Are you going with Mr. Zhao?"

Ruan Xiangyi thought for two seconds and nodded.

Zhou Zilang: “…”

Is it because he doesn't understand that it is so blatant now?

Jiang Ruzhi, who was upstairs, was laughing to death when she saw this scene, as if she saw herself running around in the melon field yesterday.

In the car, Zhao Qingshi asked with interest: "Do you want me to explain it?"

Ruan Xiangyi followed up by asking, "What do you want to explain?"

Zhao Qingshi found a cover-up for her: "Explain that you are with me for work."

“…”

"It's not for work." Ruan Xiangyi misunderstood, thinking that he had misunderstood her intention of asking him out, and told him, "We're going on a date."

Sometimes, Zhao Qingshi really loved her honesty.

Zhao Qingshi curled his lips, suddenly realizing: "Oh, we are going on a date."
