Chapter 46 Chapter 46 He loved the way she nags...

After breakfast, Zhou Xunyin talked to Ruan Xiangyi alone and asked her not to tell Zhao Qingshi what happened last night. With his temper, there would be another bloody storm.

Ruan Xiangyi naturally wouldn't say it. She knew that the two families would have dealings in the business world, and it would be bad for both sides if the relationship became strained.

Hearing her say this, Zhou Xunyin felt relieved: "I've already told Wenyin about her, so don't worry about it. It's not good for the child. Just pretend that the text message incident never happened."

"Mom, I can't promise you this."

"How do you say that?"

"I know she often comes to chat with you. Please tell her next time you see her. I hope she'll apologize to me and truly recognize her mistakes," Ruan Xiangyi said bluntly. "She's an adult. She knows the meaning of that text message. She's destroying my family. If I didn't trust Zhao Qingshi enough, if you didn't go in and stop her last night, if I didn't rush over, do you think things would have been so simple? Do you think you'd be standing here saying to me, 'Don't worry about it?'"

The answer is no.

"I won't tell Zhao Qingshi about this because I know I have to save face for the elders on both sides. But her and I are in a different situation. You know me, I don't hold any weight in the Ruan family. I won't downplay this matter. Unless she apologizes to me, I'll never let her go."

Xun Yin thought for a few seconds and then said, "I'll tell her. I know you've been wronged."

Ruan Xiangyi: "Thank you."

"I stocked up a box of snacks for Cake, remember to bring it with you when you go back later."

Ruan Xiangyi didn't expect that Zhou Xunyin doted on the cat so much that she didn't even finish feeding it the cat she brought back last time.

"Mom, you spoil it too much."

"I didn't mean anything else." Xun Yin thought about what Zhao Qingshi said last night and explained, "I only have Zhao Qingshi as my son. My only grandson hasn't been born yet. Even if I want to spend money, I don't have much chance yet. I don't know what to buy when I go shopping, so I thought of buying something for the cat first. Don't think too much."

"What are you talking about?" Zhao Qingshi popped up from nowhere and put his arm around her shoulders. "Why are you still carrying me?"

"Mom said she bought a box of snacks for the cake and told us to remember to bring them back."

“…”

"Mom, I remember when I was little, you rarely bought me snacks." Zhao Qingshi asked lazily, finding it funny. "Is the cat your son?"

The result of the latter sentence was a wrinkle on the shoulder and a slap from Xun Yin: "You little bastard, what nonsense are you talking about?"

Ruan Xiangyi smiled secretly.

Zhao Qingshi, a man who is almost thirty, also needs to save face: "Mom, can you please be more careful in front of your daughter-in-law?"

"You don't even care about your face anymore, so what do you want to maintain?" Zhou Xunyin complained accurately.

Zhao Qingshi: “…”

After returning home, Ruan Xiangyi found that he had signs of fever again. She took his temperature and it was 37.8 degrees, a low fever.

"It's been less than three months, and you've already had a fever twice." Ruan Xiangyi shook the mercury off the thermometer and put it back into the medicine box. She found a few boxes of medicine and carefully read the instructions. "Are you too busy working all day and not getting enough rest?"

Ruan Xiangyi kept chattering while taking the medicine. Zhao Qingshi sat on the sofa and simply loved her like this.

"Eat this." Ruan Xiangyi brought him a glass of warm water and handed it to him. "After eating, lie down on the bed and rest."

"Your cell phone and computer are temporarily confiscated, and you are not allowed to handle any work." She was overbearing and strong. She was not like this a month ago.

Zhao Qingshi took the initiative to hand over his phone and told her that his computer was in the study. He took his medicine and went to bed to rest. Seeing Ruan Xiangyi go to the study to get his computer, he sat up with one leg propped up and asked in confusion: "What are you doing with it?"

"I have an interview tomorrow morning, and I need to write the interview transcript first." Ruan Xiangyi opened his computer. "I want to borrow your computer. What's your password?"

Zhao Qingshi lazily reported a string of numbers.

Ruan Xiangyi frowned as he lost: "What's the meaning? It's so long."

"It has no meaning. It's just a random thing."

"oh."

Zhao Qingshi lay down again. The drug hadn't taken effect yet, and he had no desire to sleep. He thought of the recording.

"Xiangyi, has Li Wenyin looked for you recently?"

"Yeah, what's wrong?" Ruan Xiangyi answered casually.

"What do you want?" He perked up.

Ruan Xiangyi raised her head, suddenly realizing what she had just said. Her brain raced, trying to figure out what to say.

Saying that she came here specifically to scold her?

Or did she say something harsh to her in a fit of rage that she shouldn't have?

Seeing her hesitation, Zhao Qingshi understood a lot.

"Has it caused you trouble?"

“…”

"appropriate?"

"It's not a big deal...right?"

"Bar?"

"She asked me when I got together with you, and she also knew that you went to Yuyao because of me."

"That's all?"

"There were some minor frictions and arguments."

"A minor friction?" He looked unconvinced.

"Yeah." Ruan Xiangyi nodded wildly.

"A minor friction?" Zhao Qingshi suddenly twitched his lips. "What kind of minor friction could make you say you can go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get a divorce right away?"

“…”

silence……

silence……

Still silent...

"How did you know?" Ruan Xiangyi raised his eyes and asked cautiously.

"What do you think?"

“…”

"I have no idea."

Zhao Qingshi patted the seat beside him and asked her to come over. Ruan Xiangyi thought for two seconds, then walked over. When she was less than half a meter away from him, he took her wrist and sat her down on the bed. He held her hand and said, "She recorded your conversation and sent it to me as a file."

"You heard something."

"I heard you tell her you wanted to divorce me."

"No!" Ruan Xiangyi immediately got excited, "That's not what I meant! Don't listen to her nonsense!"

Zhao Qingshi gently tapped the back of her hand to comfort her: "I know, that's why I didn't believe it. This edited recording is too intentional. She wants to alienate our relationship."

"But I still feel a little uncomfortable when I hear you say that," Zhao Qingshi said, "Didn't I say before that I shouldn't bring these two words up?"

"I'm sorry, I was angry at the time, so I said that."

Zhao Qingshi asked step by step: "Then can you tell me now, what did she say that day that made you so angry?"

He used his usual tactics to win her heart, taking advantage of her softness and guilt to gradually get her to talk. When he heard the last part, his face suddenly darkened.

For conversations like this, the second version has been optimized a lot. Some unpleasant words have even been filtered out. There wasn't a single dirty word in her words, but Zhao Qingshi felt a pain in his chest when he heard them.

With Li Wenyin's spoiled personality, she would never speak so cleanly and politely.

"Don't give her any leeway. I know what kind of person she is. Did she even curse you?" Zhao Qingshi said, "I bet she'd say you stole me away, and there are many more awful words than 'shameless'."

Ruan Xiangyi stopped talking.

She wondered how he could guess so accurately.

Zhao Qingshi already knew what was going on: "I know."
