Han Xi posted a picture of a meal on her social media account: stir-fried kidney blossoms, scrambled eggs with chives, stir-fried celtuce and yam, oysters, sheep testicles... From then on, the whol...
Chapter 63 The Brainless Ex-Boyfriend
Zhuo Qingqian was annoyed the moment she saw him and snapped, "Get back together with me? I want to twist your head off and see what's inside!"
She didn't bother with Gu Beichen since he was usually idle and didn't do anything wrong anyway.
But this time is different. He actually kidnapped Liang Dong to help his scheming sister, which is intolerable.
Gu Beichen walked over with a grin, took her hand, and led her inside.
"It's rare for you to come see me, let me treat you to tea."
Zhuo Qingqian flung him away and glared at him fiercely.
"Gu Beichen, stop messing around. I already know that Liang Dong is trapped here by you. Hand him over to me immediately."
Gu Beichen spread his hands with an ignorant expression and flatly denied it.
"I don't know anything about Liang Dong. I just came here to have some fun because I was bored."
Zhuo Qingqian grabbed his collar, feeling both disappointed and angry.
"Do you have any bottom line? Gu Hanxi has done so many bad things and you still protect her. You are incredibly foolish. Now that she is hiding, is that also related to you?"
"I only have one younger sister. If I don't love her, who will?"
Zhuo Qingqian took a deep breath; there was no point in arguing with such a brainless person.
"I don't want to give you that much of a fuss. The clues about Liang Dong here were provided to us by someone else. If you don't hand them over to me, someone will call the police eventually. Don't come crying to me then."
Upon hearing this, Gu Beichen smiled and said, "So you're doing all this because you care about me."
Zhuo Qingqian glanced at him sideways, wondering how she could have fallen for such a thing.
Forget it, considering how simple-minded he is, I'll let it go and communicate more directly.
"Yes, I care about you, so please hand over the person quickly to avoid any further trouble."
"Since you've said so, then I'll leave it to you."
Gu Beichen had Liang Dong brought out, and Zhuo Qingqian secretly breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that he was not injured, otherwise there would have been more trouble later.
Liang Dong walked up to her and asked, puzzled, "Attorney Zhuo, what's going on?"
Zhuo Qingqian was really having a headache, she still had to protect that brainless ex-boyfriend.
"Mr. Liang, I'm sorry to have startled you. Let's go back first, and I'll explain to you slowly."
Zhuo Qingqian glanced at him before getting into the car with Liang Dong and leaving.
Gu Hanxi, who was hiding in the shadows, witnessed the whole process. She never expected that her brother, who always obeyed her, would listen to Zhuo Qingqian so much.
It's infuriating! This Zhuo Qingqian is Han Xi's best friend, which also means she's her enemy. She wants to steal her brother? No way!
Han Xi received a message from Zhuo Qingqian at the law firm, saying that she had successfully brought the person back, which finally put her at ease.
'Knock knock!'
A knock sounded at the door. Han Xi looked up and saw Bo Siye standing at the door holding a bouquet of flowers and carrying other things.
"Why are you here?"
Bo Siye held up the cake box in his hand and smiled gently, "I was passing by the university today and bought your favorite mousse cake. I brought it to you specially."
Speaking of the four years of university, Han Xi did spend a lot of time with him, but almost all of their conversations were about Shen Jiheng. She didn't remember mentioning her favorite tastes; she could only say that Bo Siye had observed them carefully.
"I'm so glad to see you back in the workforce, consider this a celebration for you."
Han Xi smiled calmly and said, "You are very thoughtful."
Bo Siye handed the flowers to her and then took an old cell phone out of his bag.
"It's quite a coincidence. I used this old phone from college, and I thought it was broken. Today, I picked it up out of curiosity to try charging it, and to my surprise, it turned on."
Han Xi nodded, of course he remembered this phone.
Bo Siye pressed a button on his phone and the screen lit up, revealing a photo of Shen Jiheng with messy hair while sleeping in college, which made Han Xi laugh.
"You still keep this photo? Back then, I bought you meals for a whole week so you could take a picture of him sleeping."
In order to understand Shen Jiheng's situation, Han Xi always asked Bo Siye, who was his roommate, for help.
Whether it's buying water or food or running errands, she's willing to do anything to get information about Shen Jiheng.
This is why, after marrying into the Shen family, Han Xi always managed to do things that pleased Shen Jiheng; it was because she had laid the groundwork beforehand.
“These photos are all out of print, so we definitely have to keep them. There’s another one, where he’s drooling in his sleep.”
Bo Siye handed it to her as he spoke. Although the image quality was not clear, the content on it was still very clear.
Han Xi laughed even more happily. Time flies too fast. Several years have passed in the blink of an eye. All she has left behind are a body full of wounds and nothing else.
She continued scrolling down, unable to suppress her complaints.
"You're so generous now, letting me look at whatever I want. Before, you'd make conditions for every single one I looked at, making me follow you around all day, like your little follower."
Bo Siye clenched his fists slightly, his heart in turmoil.
He secretly breathed a sigh of relief and still lifted his head to rest it on Han Xi's head, a move that surprised her.
"Han Xi, actually, the reason I did that back then was because..."
"What are you doing!"
A cold voice suddenly came from the doorway, interrupting Bo Siyue's words. Shen Jiheng strode over and pulled Han Xi to his side.
He really didn't expect that after only a few hours apart, the two of them would get back together.
Especially when he saw Bo Siye's hand on Han Xi's head outside, he really wanted to chop off that person's claws.
Compared to Shen Jiheng's outburst, Bo Siye calmly and elegantly said, "Jiheng, aren't you overreacting? I was just chatting with Han Xi."
Shen Jiheng scolded, "Chatting? You're chatting with someone else's wife so close, and you even put your hand on her head. You're really something."
After saying that, he immediately launched into a tirade against Han Xi.
"And you, we're not even divorced yet, and you're already so eager to get close to him. Don't you respect me at all? Do you even know what a wife should do?"
Han Xi was truly wronged. Just now, Bo Siye suddenly put his hand on her head, and before she could react, Shen Jiheng arrived.
But there was no need to explain in the face of his rude attitude, so he replied coldly.
"You can't control what I do."
Bo Siye added fuel to the fire: "Ji Heng, your disrespectful attitude towards women is unbearable for me, and it will only make Han Xi hate you even more."
Shen Jiheng glared back sharply, "It's none of your business as an outsider to interfere in our marital affairs. The door's out the door, so goodbye."
If it weren't for the fact that this was Hanxi Law Firm, Shen Jiheng, with his temper, would have had the urge to beat him up.
Bo Siye simply raised his head, showing no intention of leaving. He had long since stopped fearing this person, and his return this time was solely for him!
Han Xi stepped forward. "Si Ye, thank you for bringing the things. You can go back now. I'll treat you to dinner another day."
Han Xi didn't want to cause any trouble at the law firm right after returning, so she asked Bo Siye to go back first.
Bo Siye nodded gently. Since Han Xi had spoken, he certainly couldn't make things difficult for her.
"Okay, I'll be waiting for your call anytime. Also, remember to eat the cake before it melts."
This considerate behavior made Shen Jiheng grit his teeth. When did it become his turn to care about his wife?
