The Lunar New Year is over, and spring has arrived. The weather should be getting warmer, and indeed, the weather in the southern part of the city is much warmer than before.
However, Ye Qing and Xi Quan came to the banquet together, wearing formal attire, and they still got goosebumps from the cold while walking on the street at night.
But she was the one who turned around and left first. If she turned back to get on the bus now, it would be too embarrassing. So Ye Qing continued walking forward with her head held high and chest out, her high heels clicking as she went.
His steps looked firm, but he wasn't actually walking very fast.
Although she was angry at Xi Quan's attitude, Ye Qing didn't want to make things difficult for herself. So she thought about how to make amends. Otherwise, walking back directly was unrealistic, it would be cold, and she was wearing such high heels, which would be exhausting.
Xi Quan was also angry.
In his opinion, Ye Qing's attitude was problematic. After staring at Ye Qing's back for a while, Xi Quan felt angry. He opened the car door and got in. However, when he was about to step on the gas, he saw Ye Qing walking in front. Although her back was straight, he could still vaguely see that she was actually shivering a little from the cold. Xi Quan couldn't press the gas pedal down.
After a moment of silence, Xi Quan muttered something, started the car, slowly moved in front of Ye Qing, rolled down the window, and said in a cold tone, "Get in."
Ye Qing certainly wanted to get in the car, but she was angry with Xi Quan right now. If she obediently listened to him just because of his cold and emotionless words, Ye Qing felt that she wouldn't be herself.
Moreover, even if the two weren't angry right now, given Ye Qing's personality, she wouldn't just follow Xi Quan with such a terrible attitude.
Although Ye Qing is very cold, she will definitely stretch when necessary.
Upon hearing Xi Quan's cold words, Ye Qing merely gave him a cool glance before continuing to walk forward.
Xi Quan understands Ye Qing and knows his personality. If he is calm at this moment, then he should know that this is Ye Qing's normal behavior.
But in fact, Xi Quan was already angry and hadn't calmed down yet. Now, faced with Ye Qing's "good intentions" and her silence, Xi Quan became even angrier. How could he think calmly?
As Ye Qing walked further and further away, Xi Quan gritted his teeth in anger.
His temper flared up. Xi Quan hadn't argued with Ye Qing like this in years. If you were to go back to the beginning, it was when they first started dating. Back then, Ye Qing hadn't gone abroad yet, and they hadn't broken up. They had just become a couple and felt that the future was long, so they weren't afraid of anything, including arguments. When they had disagreements and couldn't reach an agreement, they would just go with the flow, whether it was a cold war or an argument. At worst, they would just apologize.
Later, the two broke up, and arguing became a luxury. Later, fearing that he would never be able to catch Ye Qing again if she left, Xi Quan dragged Ye Qing to get a marriage certificate before she left the country.
After that, the two had no contact for several years. Then Ye Qing came back. After going through a lot, they got back together and cherished the time they could spend together even more, and they rarely argued anymore.
Right now... although they're both angry, extremely angry, they're not afraid of each other.
Because they weren't afraid, the two unconsciously returned to the time when they first started dating, young and carefree.
So when Xi Quan saw that Ye Qing was completely ignoring him, he gritted his teeth, stepped on the gas, and drove right past Ye Qing.
The exhaust fumes and dust kicked up by the speeding car made Ye Qing want to curse.
She silently complained to herself that she would never forgive Xi Quan easily, no amount of coaxing would work, and in fact, it was the kind of coaxing that wouldn't work.
Just as Ye Qing was mentally preparing herself not to easily forgive Xi Quan, the car reversed.
After getting out of the car, Xi Quan walked towards Ye Qing while taking off his suit jacket. By the time he reached Ye Qing, the jacket was already off. He then draped it over Ye Qing's shoulder domineeringly and said again in a commanding tone, "Get in the car."
Although it was a considerate gesture, both of them were angry, so the considerate gesture itself became somewhat unreasonable.
So Ye Qing didn't soften because of Xi Quan's considerate gesture. She moved her shoulders, trying to shake off the coat on them.
Noticing Ye Qing's actions, Xi Quan, who was about to turn around, raised his hand and placed it on Ye Qing's shoulder to stop her from shaking her coat.
Because of Xi Quan's obstruction, Ye Qing naturally couldn't tremble anymore, but Ye Qing didn't become obedient because of this. She lifted her eyelids and looked at Xi Quan coldly, with a rather provocative meaning.
Xi Quan's eyelids twitched at Ye Qing's attitude. Although the two had been arguing, Ye Qing kept walking forward, so they were actually quite a distance from the banquet hall.
However, even from this distance, he could still vaguely see people he knew, which made Xi Quan feel incredibly disgusted.
If it were someone else he knew, it wouldn't matter; in a public setting, Ye Qing would definitely just give a perfunctory response. But the person walking this way from the restaurant entrance seemed to be Chu Xun, and he was still wearing the Zhongshan suit designed by Ye Qing, which made Xi Quan's eyes hurt.
Because Ye Qing had her back to the restaurant entrance, she did not see Chu Xun.
However, Xi Quan was still a little uncomfortable, so he stopped arguing with Ye Qing and walked closer to her. He bent down slightly, put his arms around Ye Qing's waist, and hoisted her onto his shoulders.
His sudden action caught Ye Qing completely off guard. Suddenly, her feet left the ground, and fear was a natural reaction. Ye Qing instinctively grabbed Xi Quan.
Realizing what was happening, Ye Qing struggled to get Xi Quan to put her down, but carrying her was very uncomfortable, and with her head down, she felt a bit of a rush of blood to her head.
Moreover, Ye Qing's dress is a skirt. If she keeps struggling, the skirt might tear, which would be a huge embarrassment.
So while Ye Qing was hesitating, Xi Quan had already put her in the car.
Afterwards, Xi Quan quickly got into the car, locked the door, glanced at the rearview mirror, and saw that Chu Xun, who was originally walking this way, was standing still. He sneered, stepped on the gas pedal to the floor, and almost instantly, even the car's exhaust fumes disappeared from sight.
Ye Qing naturally heard Xi Quan's sneer. Because she wasn't paying attention to anything else, she didn't see Chu Xun. In Ye Qing's opinion, Xi Quan's sneer was directed at her.
Xi Quan was unaware that Ye Qing had misunderstood, but seeing that Ye Qing remained silent and still looked angry, Xi Quan didn't speak either, and the two of them arrived home in silence.
The moment the car stopped, Ye Qing opened the door and got out. After walking to her front door and composing herself, she rang the doorbell.
