As night fell, Xu Yanshu parked his car in the underground parking garage as usual and then took the elevator upstairs.
He had barely stepped out of the elevator when he smelled a pungent odor of alcohol. When he looked up, he saw someone squatting at his doorstep.
"Xie Huanyu, what are you doing here?" Upon seeing Xie Huanyu, Xu Yanshu's face immediately turned cold.
"Yan Shu, you're finally back!" Hearing the voice, Xie Huanyu stood up unsteadily, her eyes still glazed. "You have no idea how long I've been waiting for you here! Open the door!"
She had clearly been crying; her makeup was completely ruined.
Why do they always run to me when they're drunk?
Xu Yanshu was getting impatient, but seeing that the other person was already drunk and unconscious, he couldn't just send him away any longer, so he had no choice but to open the door.
Xie Huanyu smiled blankly at the person, then walked in on her own.
Xu Yanshu followed behind, a beat behind. Seeing Xie Huanyu about to fall, he instinctively reached out and helped her up.
hiss……
Xie Huanyu gasped in pain, his brows furrowing slightly. He muttered under his breath, "Ouch!"
But I didn't use any force!
Xu Yanshu was a little confused for a moment, but in a flash he guessed what was going on. After seeing Xie Huanyu sit down comfortably on the sofa, he turned around and called Shengyi.
"Shengyi, if you're free right now, come over here. There's been a bit of an emergency... Okay, drive carefully, I'll wait for you!"
I don't know if it's as I suspected...
Turning to look at Xie Huanyu again, Xu Yanshu's gaze unexpectedly became complicated as he let the person in.
Besides, it's indeed inappropriate for a man and a woman to be alone in a room like this, so it's necessary to have Shengyi come over.
While waiting, Xu Yanshu noticed that Xie Huanyu was in a lot of pain, so he went to the kitchen and poured her a glass of water.
After drinking a few sips of water, Xie Huanyu seemed to sober up a bit. When she looked up at the man standing in front of her, her eyes suddenly reddened.
"Yan Shu, I know I was wrong, I really know I was wrong, let's start over, okay!"
She had always thought she had a lot, so she took Xu Yanshu's efforts for granted. But after losing him completely, she realized that he was the only true love she could hold onto.
Was he faking being drunk?
Upon hearing this, Xu Yanshu couldn't help but wonder if Xie Huanyu was really drunk. The next second, he saw the woman fall straight onto the sofa, her eyes twitching uncontrollably.
Qin Shengyi arrived quickly, and Xu Yanshu briefly explained the ins and outs of the matter before mentioning his own conjecture.
"So, could you please check if there are any marks on her body?"
Qin Shengyi nodded seriously in agreement. Although she felt it was somewhat impossible, she didn't say anything and tiptoed into the living room to check.
About ten minutes later, her triumphant mood returned, and her expression became visibly serious.
"You guessed right, Xie Huanyu has scars on almost every part of her body, clearly from being whipped!"
When Yan Shu mentioned it earlier, she thought it was unlikely.
Even tigers don't eat their cubs, so no matter how ruthless Xie Junyang is, he would never be so cruel as to harm his own daughter.
It wasn't until she saw the terrible wounds on Xie Huanyu's body that she realized she had been too naive; some people are far more terrifying than animals.
really.
Xu Yanshu's eyes gradually darkened, and his thin lips pressed down into a straight line.
He had suspected Xie Junyang of mentally controlling Xie Huanyu long before this, but he never expected that the other party would actually lay a hand on Xie Huanyu. This showed that the old man was far more inhuman than he had imagined.
Coming to his senses, Xu Yanshu looked up at the living room and found that Xie Huanyu seemed to be fast asleep. He then turned to Qin Shengyi and said, "You can stay in the guest room tonight!"
Having vaguely guessed what the other party was worried about, Qin Shengyi didn't hesitate and readily agreed.
...
The next morning
As soon as Xie Huanyu opened her eyes, she felt an unbearable headache. She winced in pain and then realized where she was.
So I really did come to see Xu Yanshu last night?
Xie Huanyu was inevitably a little embarrassed. Yesterday, she was really depressed and had nowhere to vent, so she chose to drown her sorrows in alcohol.
Halfway through her drink, she suddenly felt a strong urge to see Xu Yanshu.
So, does his willingness to take him in mean that he doesn't actually dislike him that much?
Xie Huanyu pondered to herself, then stood up from the sofa and looked up to see Qin Shengyi walking out of the second bedroom. Her expression suddenly changed.
"What are you doing here? Where is Xu Yanshu?"
"Brother Yan Shu had some personal matters to attend to and left early this morning," Qin Shengyi explained simply, without saying anything more.
"I'm asking you, what are you doing here!"
Xie Huanyu reiterated, forcing herself to stay up despite her dizziness as she stepped forward, her gaze fixed intently on Qin Shengyi, "Miss Qin, as a single woman, isn't it a bit inappropriate for you to stay overnight at a man's house so casually?"
Or perhaps they're already living together?
Xie Huanyu secretly guessed in her heart that even though she knew she could no longer provoke the other party, seeing Qin Shengyi here so early in the morning made her momentarily unable to remain rational.
"Xie Huanyu, you're overthinking it," Qin Shengyi sighed helplessly, then explained to himself, "Brother Yan Shu only asked me to stay overnight because he was thinking about your reputation!"
This is probably a case of "every pitiful person has something hateful about them." Thinking of the wounds he saw last night, Qin Shengyi's eyes inadvertently became complicated.
"Qin Shengyi, don't judge my feelings for Xu Yanshu subjectively. I won't give you up just because you have a better background than me."
"If you have any guts, compete with me fairly!"
She had figured it out: relationships aren't something you can win by having a superior background, and she was indeed unwilling to give up on Xu Yanshu just like that.
How can you bring something like this into a competition?
Qin Shengyi frowned slightly in disapproval. Forced relationships are never sweet, and she was willing to respect Yan Shu's wishes and choices to the greatest extent possible.
If, after all the twists and turns, he still chooses Xie Huanyu, she will offer her sincerest blessings as a friend. And if he is willing to come to her, she will spare no effort to reciprocate his feelings.
"Miss Xie, I need to get to my studio soon. You can rest here for a while longer. Just remember to lock the door before you leave!" Qin Shengyi said this concisely before turning and leaving the apartment.
What does this woman mean?
This reaction made Xie Huanyu feel as if she had punched cotton. Watching the other person walk away, she couldn't help but stomp her foot in anger.
Just wait and see, Yan Shu is destined to be Xie Huanyu's man for the rest of his life!
