The car was filled with a faint scent of perfume, the one Qi Xue usually wore.
Ye Feng fastened his seatbelt and turned to look at her.
Qi Xue started the car and slowly drove away from the roadside before saying, "I was just passing by and wanted to say hello, but... I accidentally overheard your conversation."
Ye Feng gave a wry smile and said self-deprecatingly, "I've made you laugh."
Qi Xue didn't reply, but instead asked, "Why have you been avoiding me these past few days?"
Ye Feng was speechless.
He was indeed intentionally or unintentionally avoiding Qi Xue because he didn't know how to face her or the feelings he couldn't reciprocate.
Silence spread through the carriage until Ye Feng finally broke the silence: "Sorry, I've been too busy lately."
Qi Xue shook her head, indicating her understanding: "It's okay, I understand."
Ye Feng was even more embarrassed.
Qi Xue suddenly tilted her head and looked at him: "Would you like to come to my house for a while?"
Ye Feng's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly refused, "No, no, it's too late, I should go back."
He felt guilty and dared not look Qi Xue in the eye.
Qi Xue looked at him with a half-smile: "Just because you're taken doesn't mean you have to be so timid, does it? Liu Qingyi can drink with other people in the middle of the night, but you can't even sit at a friend's house?"
Ye Feng was speechless, completely stumped by her.
Qi Xue continued, "I'm not going to eat you, what are you afraid of?"
Ye Feng quickly shook his head: "No, I'm not afraid."
Qi Xue started the car and chuckled, "If you don't have one, then don't say it."
She stepped on the gas, and the car smoothly drove into the night.
Ye Feng had no choice but to remain silent, unable to refuse.
Shortly after, Qi Xue's white sports car stopped in front of a luxury apartment building.
Ye Feng followed her into the elevator, remaining silent the whole way.
Qi Xue took out her key card and opened the door. "Come in."
Ye Feng changed into the slippers Qi Xue had prepared for him, and felt the atmosphere was a little awkward.
Qi Xue's apartment was decorated in a warm and cozy style, exuding feminine elegance in every detail.
He stood awkwardly in the entryway, unsure of where to look.
Qi Xue seemed to notice his unease and smiled, "Don't be nervous, just make yourself at home."
She walked to the wine cabinet, took out a bottle of red wine, and asked, "Want some?"
Ye Feng nodded, which was taken as an agreement.
Qi Xue skillfully opened the wine bottle, poured two glasses, and handed one to him.
"Try it, this is one of my treasures."
She took a sip herself first, then looked at Ye Feng and said, "Go ahead."
Ye Feng stared blankly at the wine glass in her hand, somewhat bewildered: "What did you say?"
Qi Xue glared at him angrily: "What are you talking about? Of course it's... about you and Liu Qingyi! Why are you staring at me like that?"
Ye Feng waved his hands frantically: "I didn't..."
"No?" Qi Xue sneered. "I understand. Men, you know. When they suffer injustice at the hands of the main wife, they want to let loose, but they're afraid of the consequences. I understand, I understand everything."
Ye Feng's expression turned serious: "I have no such intention."
Qi Xue didn't press further, but simply smiled and handed Ye Feng the glass of red wine she had half-finished.
"Here, healing wine, free of charge."
Ye Feng stared at the glass of red wine, somewhat bewildered: "This..."
Qi Xue raised an eyebrow: "What? You're disgusted with me?"
Ye Feng quickly shook his head, forced himself to take the wine glass, and took a small sip.
A rich aroma of wine spread in my mouth.
He had to admit that the wine was indeed quite good.
"How is it?" Qi Xue asked, looking at him.
Ye Feng nodded: "Good wine."
Qi Xue smiled with satisfaction: "Good wine goes well with a good story, tell me one?"
Ye Feng put down his wine glass and looked at her with a puzzled expression: "Why are you so interested in other people's love lives?"
Qi Xue shrugged: "I've never been in a relationship, I'm just curious."
"Never been in a relationship? Are you kidding me?" Ye Feng put down his wine glass.
How could a woman like Qi Xue not have a man by her side?
Qi Xue chuckled softly, a hint of melancholy flashing in her eyes.
"What? Doesn't it look like it?"
Ye Feng shook his head.
"With your looks and qualifications, you probably have suitors all the way to France."
Qi Xue's smile faded, and her expression became somewhat serious.
"Before, I looked down on all men. In my eyes, they were just toys. Later, I wanted to have a serious relationship, but I found that the men I met were either immature like children or wanted to completely possess me and control everything about me. So..."
She shrugged, a self-deprecating tone in her voice, "Still single."
Ye Feng listened quietly, somewhat surprised.
He never expected that the glamorous diva would have such a blank love life.
He paused for a moment, then slowly began to recount what had happened that evening.
From Liu Qingyi's late return home to Qin Yifei's appearance, and then to his conflict with Qin Yifei.
After listening, Qi Xue sighed. "Ye Feng, you're too naive."
Ye Feng looked at her with a puzzled expression.
"Tonight's events were clearly a trap set by Qin Yifei. Liu Qingyi was used by him," Qi Xue said with certainty.
How did you know?
“I saw it with my own eyes. Qin Yifei deliberately created opportunities to get close to Liu Qingyi, and Liu Qingyi seemed unaware of it. There was no inappropriate behavior between them.”
Ye Feng was stunned.
Could it be that he really misunderstood?
"What good would it do me to lie to you?" Qi Xue looked at the stunned Ye Feng. "Although Liu Qingyi and I don't get along, I wouldn't lie to you about something like this."
Ye Feng's thoughts were interrupted. He looked up and saw Qi Xue's sincere eyes. His doubts gradually dissipated.
