Chapter 310 White Moonlight

Qi Huaijing looked at her for a while and said, "No."

"That's fine, I want to live in our little home."

After saying that, the woman got into the taxi. Qi Huaijing waited for the driver to put the suitcase into the trunk before getting in.

"Huai Jing, I'm cold."

Seeing him sitting in the back seat, the woman immediately came over. She rested her head on his shoulder and put her hand into his palm to feel the warmth of his big palm.

In the cold wind just now, the woman's hands were very cold. When Qi Huaijing touched her hands, he felt as if he was burned. He instinctively wanted to pull away, but the woman seemed not to notice and put both hands into his big palms.

"I'm outside in the wind and I feel so cold. Look, I'm frozen stiff."

Qi Huaijing finally held her hand, and the woman was very satisfied. Qi Huaijing always responded to her requests, even now.

The woman's long hair was as black as ink and she was resting her head on Qi Huaijing. Her eyelids gradually grew heavy.

"Huai Jing, my chest feels cold too, do you want to touch it..."

Qi Huaijing didn't hear what she said next, nor did he intend to listen.

It took nearly two hours to drive to where the woman said they used to live. It was a small three-story apartment that was spotlessly clean. Qi Huaijing gave the driver a tip when he got off the car.

"Please help me carry her inside."

The driver looked at them strangely, and finally gave Qi Huaijing a deep look: "Isn't she your girlfriend?"

The woman was dressed a little revealingly, and even through her coat he could still feel the fullness of her breasts pressed against his back. The driver swallowed subconsciously and didn't dare to agree easily.

Qi Huaijing glanced at Du Yuqian in the back seat and said softly, "No."

Just as the driver was about to reach out, Du Yuqian had already stood up by herself.

"Huaijing——"

The voice was so soft and crisp that it made one's bones break.

The driver felt quite regretful. Qi Huaijing reached out to pull her out of the car, but she fell directly into his arms.

"I've been flying all day and I feel dizzy."

Qi Huaijing hugged her waist. Du Yuqian looked at him with resentment in her eyes: "Why didn't you hug me just now?"

He withdrew without a trace. Du Yuqian clearly felt that something was wrong with him when she met him at the airport, but she did not say anything. She just attacked his defenses layer by layer.

"You're too heavy. I can't hold you."

"Oh, you look so stupid! How can you call a girl fat? No wonder all these years, besides me, you've only had your niece by your side. You haven't even had a single person of the opposite sex. Can't you just say something nice to comfort me?"

Qi Huaijing said calmly: "You know me, I'm not good at talking, I can't say nice things to please girls, and I don't know how to be romantic."

Du Yuqian felt a little guilty when she said this: "Are you still thinking about that incident? Don't be so stingy. I apologize to you. I was just drunk at that time and what I said was not from the heart."

Qi Huaijing pushed her hand away, his whole person was very indifferent: "Don't mention the past anymore."

He took her to the room and opened the door. It was still the same as when she left many years ago.

"Ah, my favorite aromatherapy, you still keep it here?"

Du Yuqian rushed over. There was a scented candle in a green cup beside the bed in the same position as when she left that day.

Qi Huaijing stood at the door and did not go in. Du Yuqian looked back at him.

"Huai Jing, I know you won't forget."

"It's getting late. You should rest. I'm going back."

Du Yuqian was stunned for a few seconds, then she hugged his waist.

"You won't stay with me? I gave up everything abroad and came back just for you. Don't you want me anymore?"

Qi Huaijing looked at her face and admitted that this face had made her heart beat faster. They even had happy times together, lying on the same bed to watch movies, and in the summer they would move the bamboo mat to the yard to lie on and watch the stars.

The time at that time was really happy. Du Yuqian was only two years younger than him, but had more experience in love than him. He was young and energetic at that time, and he was also impulsive when hugging her, but Du Yuqian said that she liked platonic love, and Qi Huaijing was happy to accompany her.

Until one day, she celebrated her birthday but didn't invite him. He knew she was out drinking with someone and was worried about her, but outside the box he heard her proudly say that she had seduced Qi Huaijing, the icy man, and asked her friends to give her money.

It was then that he realized that he had been fooled by you, and what he thought was a heart-throb was actually a gamble with her.

Someone saw him at the door of the box and shouted. When Du Yuqian rushed out, it was too late. Qi Huaijing heard everything. Du Yuqian looked at him but did not give any explanation. She even pulled his tie and acted coquettishly.

"It's just for fun. You're not that stingy, are you? I don't actually have a boyfriend. I'm going to study abroad soon, and I don't want to have a relationship and then be separated from the person I like, so I chose to be friends with you. Huaijing, how about we make a deal that if you're still married and I'm still married in five years, we can get married, okay?"

Qi Huaijing's depressed mood was dispelled by her words that she was going to study abroad. This vague feeling, the heartbeat that they hugged but never kissed or had sex with, still made Qi Huaijing remember it for several years.

It’s a man’s bad nature to always miss what he doesn’t have, but——

"No. I didn't say I didn't want you."

Qi Huaijing looked at the face in front of him, which was the same one he had seen five years ago, and there were some words he just couldn't bring himself to say.

"Then you accompany me."

Du Yuqian kept pestering Qi Huaijing and wouldn't let him leave. He had no choice but to say, "Go upstairs. I won't leave."

Seeing that he compromised, Du Yuqian finally gave up.

She kept staring at Qi Huaijing until he followed her into the room and hugged her, and Du Yuqian finally felt relieved.

"Qi Huaijing, can we go back to the way we were?"

This time she really fell asleep in his arms. In the moonlight, Qi Huaijing stared at Du Yuqian's palm-sized face, and his eyes gradually became colder.

He gradually let go of her. Du Yuqian moved uneasily. Qi Huaijing knew that she was asleep and left.

There was only a small lamp in the living room. Qi Huaijing took a cigarette from the cigarette box and put it in his mouth. Soon the smell of tobacco floated in the air.

He took a deep puff and the smoke spread instantly.

There was a message from Zhou Shuang on the phone: "I'm going to sleep, don't be busy too late."

The coldness in Qi Huaijing's eyes did not diminish. When he saw the news, a hint of tenderness flashed in his black pupils, but it quickly disappeared.

He picked up his phone and opened the WeChat message, ready to reply, but after typing a few words he withdrew his reply.

Zhou Shuang finished eating the cake that Qi Huaijing bought for him and stared at his phone for a long time but didn't receive his "good night" message.

I remember that when he went to Kyoto, he was so busy that he would always send her a message saying "good night" no matter how late it was.

When her eyelids began to droop, Zhou Shuang realized that her phone was still silent. She thought Qi Huaijing must have something important to do tonight, which was why he didn't reply to her message. She wanted to give him a video call to ask what he was doing, but she felt it was not safe.

What if he is discussing business with an important client and their marriage has not been fully announced? It would have a bad impact if she keeps such a close eye on him.

Mr. Qi was labeled as henpecked even before he got married, so Zhou Shuang finally resisted the urge to call him.

Qi Huaijing stayed in the apartment until the early morning before returning to the villa with Zhou Shuang.

Zhou Shuang was already asleep when he returned home. She didn't notice when Qi Huaijing pushed the door open. After staying in the room for a while, Qi Huaijing went to the study.

Zhou Shuang slept until the next morning, and touched the bed next to her and found it was empty.

She woke up from her dream with a start. In the dream, Qi Huaijing left with another woman in front of her. She was so scared that she sat up and found that it was already dawn.

Maybe it was because of the dream that she was still frightened. Zhou Shuang opened the door barefoot and wanted to go downstairs to see if Qi Huaijing's car had returned. When she reached the door, she almost bumped into Qi Huaijing.

"What's wrong?"

Qi Huaijing picked her up in one hand. Zhou Shuang was so small that it was just right for her to be held in his arms. She had been well fed and cared for by him these days, and she had gained a lot of weight. Her milky body also smelled good.

"You home?"

She thought he didn't come back, and he stayed out all night before they got married. Zhou Shuang couldn't accept it at all.

Thinking of the time when her father didn't come home for Wen Xin when she was a child, she felt uneasy and her mind began to wander.

"Yes, I came back too late yesterday and slept in the study all night because I didn't want to disturb you."

Zhou Shuang's heart finally settled down when she saw him. She felt a little amused. She was being overly sensitive. Perhaps even her proud daddy could be unreliable, but Qi Huaijing definitely wouldn't be.

"I just had a nightmare."

She threw herself into his arms and hugged him tightly, refusing to let go. Qi Huaijing touched her head lovingly and said, "What nightmare? Tell me about it."

Zhou Shuang looked up at Qi Huaijing, and her eyes became red inadvertently.

"I dreamed that you ran away with another woman."

Qi Huaijing's body became noticeably stiff. He lowered his head to look at her face, wanting to kiss her but inexplicably lost the courage.

He smiled and reached out to touch her nose lightly: "How could that be? Stop imagining it."

Zhou Shuang also felt that she was too petty. It was just that he came back late and she was thinking about some trivial things.

"Are you going to the company today?"

She asked him, saying that having Chen Yunna around always made her alert, fearing that she would do something evil in the next second.

"Go ahead if you want to. I've transferred Chen Yunna to a branch office in another city. She won't appear in front of you anymore."

Qi Huaijing still kissed her forehead. When Zhou Shuang hugged him, she didn't know why she always felt weird in her heart.

It felt like the smell on him was different from usual.

"Did you shower yesterday?"

Qi Huaijing was stunned for a moment, then answered honestly, "No, I was a little tired, so I slept on the sofa all night."

Zhou Shuang smelled a scent on him that she had never smelled before. In the past, he had a faint scent of patchouli, but when she got close to him today, he seemed to have a mixture of other scents.

She didn't usually go to places of entertainment or socialize, so she couldn't tell if it was a woman's perfume or something else. She just felt that it was different from usual.

"What's wrong? Does it stink?"

Qi Huaijing joked, and Zhou Shuang shook her head: "No, I just think you smell a little strange today."

Qi Huaijing nodded. "Men have more developed sweat glands than you women. If you don't shower for a night, your body will definitely be dirty. I'll go take a shower first. You can go downstairs for breakfast. I'll take you to work later."

Zhou Shuang nodded. Actually, it didn't matter if her identity was public. It was better than running into a lunatic like Chen Yunna. She didn't want to be a nobody in the company, and people were jealous and trying to harm her. She was better off just being Mrs. Qi.

Safety first.

It was rare for Zhou Shuang to eat breakfast alone. The housekeeper glanced at her with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

Husband didn’t have breakfast with his wife today?

After Qi Huaijing waited for Zhou Shuang to come downstairs, he raised his arm and smelled the cuff, and there was a faint scent of women's perfume at the bottom of his nose.

He knew that this brand of perfume was Du Yuqian's favorite. He was careless yesterday. He came back and sat in the study all night, reading all the information Wang Yu had sent him about Du Yuqian's time abroad.

Based on his understanding of Du Yuqian, she was able to calmly plan her future in her twenties and would never return to China easily unless something happened.

After Wang Yu investigated, he found something fishy.

The Du family immigrated many years ago. Du Yuqian's father was an official in Rongcheng and had amassed a lot of wealth, enough for the Du family to live a good life for several lifetimes.

But last year, the Du family ran into trouble. Du's father was involved in a Chinese financial fraud scam, and almost lost all his overseas assets and was even imprisoned.

Du Yuqian was desperate. She first followed a fifty-year-old man and relied on him to pay her tuition. Later, the man got tired of her after playing with her for a few months and directly sold Du Yuqian on his circle of friends. After a few rounds of this, Du Yuqian was repeatedly undercut by others, and her reputation in the circle was ruined. She could no longer find a buyer and had to return home early.

She had no relatives in the country, and after going around in circles, she probably felt that Qi Huaijing was the easiest to deceive, so she dressed herself up and came to seek refuge with him.

She already had many boyfriends in China, and after going abroad, she had experience with at least five, if not ten, men. Du Yuqian knew how to handle men's hearts very well.

To be honest, before seeing all this, Qi Huaijing met his white moonlight, and it would be a lie to say that he didn't feel the slightest bit of emotion in his heart.

But he is no longer the young man who was just beginning to fall in love many years ago, but a seasoned businessman who has fought his way out for the Qi family.

Du Yuqian could deceive him back then, but now Qi Huaijingkai will open up to her with just a few words and a few acts of coquettishness. Moreover, the only woman he has truly loved in his life so far is probably Zhou Shuang.

This little woman really always tugs at his heartstrings.

Qi Huaijing washed himself thoroughly, and when he came out, he told the servants to take his clothes away and throw them away.

He always felt alienated by the scent of Du Yuqian.

Zhou Shuang saw Qi Huaijing coming down and looked at the little food left on the table: "I forgot to save some for you."

"I've already eaten."

Qi Huaijing felt his cell phone vibrating in his pocket.

"Have you finished eating? Go upstairs and change your clothes. We'll go to the company together."

Zhou Shuang nodded and went upstairs.

Qi Huaijing took out his cell phone only after he saw that she had disappeared.

It’s Du Yuqian.

"Huai Jing, I haven't seen you since I got up. Where have you been? Can you come and have breakfast with me?"

Her voice sounded weak and helpless on the phone.

Qi Huaijing thought for a moment and said calmly, "I'll take care of some things first and I'll be there later."
