Chapter 67 Spend More Time with Qi Yanxue

Royal Capital high-end entertainment club.

Lu Guanqi walked to the darkest corner with a glass of wine. That was the only place in the entire room that was not illuminated by light, as if it was isolated from the world.

Noticing that something was wrong with his expression, Lu Guanqi frowned and asked, "You haven't been seen for the past two days. Are you being held captive in Qikan City?"

Qi Yanxue had a cold face and no expression. When she heard the voice, she just looked at him calmly.

As soon as he saw this situation, Lu Guanqi confirmed his thoughts without saying anything.

Every year when Qi Kancheng came back from abroad, he would lock Qi Yanxue in the basement for two days.

As for confinement, it means staying in a pitch-black place, regardless of day or night, for several days.

In the first two years, Qi Yanxue would resist, but Qi Kancheng was also a cruel man, and once he resisted, he became even more aggressive.

Only Lu Guanqi and Zhou Jinxiu knew about this, and Qi Yanxue didn't allow them to tell anyone else, mainly because there was no point in telling them.

Lu Guanqi sighed in his heart, knowing that when things got this way, Qi Yanxue wouldn't want to talk much and would become a completely different person, gloomy and silent.

Lu Guanqi consciously didn't want to be an eyesore, so he turned around and walked into the crowd.

Zhou Jinxiu saw Lu Guanqi coming back and asked, "Is it closed again?"

Lu Guanqi took a sip of the wine in his hand before nodding.

Zhou Jinxiu frowned. "Ah Yan, are you planning to keep him locked up for just two days every year? If he keeps being locked up in that dark and depressing place like this, he'll be driven crazy sooner or later!"

If it were him, he would probably go crazy on the first day in the basement.

"Logically speaking, Qi Yanxue could have chosen not to be imprisoned this time."

Lu Guanqi muttered thoughtfully, then patted Zhou Jinxiu on the shoulder: "He must have his own plans. Anyway, the plan is already coming to an end. Qi Kancheng won't be able to stay arrogant for many more days."

On the other side, Zhu Jianyi pulled Zhu Wendong to sit on the soft leather sofa in the private room.

Zhu Jianyi propped his chin up with his hand and said thoughtfully, "Is Qiao Shizhu very busy being a big star?"

Zhu Wendong took a sip of the orange juice in his hand: "Well, Qiao Qiao has been very busy."

Compared to her lazy job of only writing one book every two years, it is a world of difference.

Zhu Jianyi pouted: "No wonder she couldn't come when I asked her out today. She's so busy, and she hasn't had any romantic relationships in all these years?"

Zhu Wendong remembered something, but still said, "No."

Qiao Shizhu is a well-known model worker in the entertainment industry, so it is normal that she has not been in a relationship.

Zhu Jianyi had no doubts, but pretended to be indifferent and asked, "What do you think of Lu Guanqi?"

"Lu Guanqi?"

Zhu Wendong guessed that things might not be that simple, so he tried to speak in a normal tone, "Do you like him?"

"Who likes him!" Zhu Jianyi retorted fiercely with a huge reaction.

Zhu Wendong pressed his lips together and looked at her quietly: "I didn't say who it was, why are you reacting so strongly?"

"Oh." Zhu Jianyi nudged her with his elbow. "Just tell me what kind of person he is."

"I'm not familiar with him and don't know him very well." Zhu Wendong told the truth, and suddenly his eyes caught a glimpse of Lu Guanqi in the middle of the crowd.

Subconsciously, he looked for a certain figure in the crowd around him and scanned them all.

It seems he is not here today either.

Just when Zhu Wendong was about to look away with a feeling of disappointment in his heart, he caught a glimpse of a figure on the sofa in the dark corner diagonally opposite.

The stone in my heart fell.

From a distance, Qi Yanxue was lying lazily on the sofa with his eyes closed, his hands covering his eyes, his brows furrowed, and his lips pressed into a straight line, as if he was suppressing and restraining something.

Since that blind date, they haven't seen each other or talked to each other since then.

It seems like they really give each other time to think without disturbing each other.

Noticing that she was distracted, Zhu Jianyi called her twice: "Zhu Wendong!"

Zhu Wendong turned his head to look at her: "What's wrong?"

"What are you looking at so intently?"

Zhu Wendong uttered something random: "I saw Lu Guanqi."

Zhu Jianyi was not surprised: "This is the game he set up, of course I can see him."

Zhu Jianyi chatted with Zhu Wendong for a while, but found that Zhu Wendong was not paying attention, so she simply stopped chatting with her.

After saying a few words to her, he ran into the crowd and joined their game.

After she walked away, Zhu Wendong was the only one left on the sofa. She was about to get up when someone called her from behind.

"Wish Wendong."

She turned around and remembered that he was a doctor at the pet hospital and Zhou Sian's younger brother, Zhou Jinxiu.

But given the relationship between them, it seems like there is not much to talk about.

Zhou Jinxiu took two steps towards her and suddenly said, "My brother went to California."

Zhu Wendong was confused and said, "I know."

Zhou Jinxiu was silent for a while before speaking: "If you have nothing to do today, spend more time with Qi Yanxue."

His words came out of the blue, and were completely irrelevant.

Zhu Wendong frowned and asked, "What's wrong with him?"

"Forget it, it's okay." Zhou Jinxiu suddenly contradicted himself and turned away without saying a word.

He shouldn't have come to see her. If Qi Yanxue knew about this, she would have glared at him to death.

-

He came quickly and left quickly.

Zhu Wendong looked at his back and wanted to catch up with him to ask for clarification, but finally gave up.

She turned and went to the bathroom on the second floor. The second floor was sparsely populated and eerily quiet. The emergency passage was slightly open, and it was pitch black inside.

When passing the safety passage, Zhu Wendong subconsciously walked quickly.

Suddenly, someone grabbed her wrist, and before she could react, she was plunged into darkness.

She was pulled into the emergency passage by a brutal force.

He panicked and without caring about anything else, he raised his foot and wanted to kick the person in front of him.

But a hand softened the hardness and grasped the thigh, stopping the movement.

The next second, I heard the low and hoarse voice of the person in front of me slowly say two words.

"It's me."

Zhu Wendong stood there in a daze, his hands restrained on the man's chest. He asked uncertainly, "Qi Yanxue?"

Qi Yanxue said "hmm" indifferently and released the hand that was holding her thigh.

He leaned casually against the cold wall, the girl in his arms leaning against him like a piece of soft bone.

The safe passage was dark and silent, and the breathing of both people could be heard clearly.

Zhu Wendong wanted to stand up straight by supporting himself on his chest, but his hands held him tightly, and he couldn't move at all, and his legs were clamped by him.

She seemed to have lost all her strength and was completely dependent on him for support.

Zhu Wendong couldn't see him clearly and could only feel his current posture.

Suddenly, Zhou Jinxiu's words came to my mind - if you have nothing to do today, spend more time with Qi Yanxue.

She raised her head, as if trying to see him clearly through the darkness, and asked softly, "Qi Yanxue, what's wrong with you?"
