Chapter 73
The two of them said in unison. Qiao Yanrou subconsciously looked at Fu Chuqing. Realizing something, she immediately changed her words: "It's... my current boyfriend, Fu Chuqing."
Although they hadn't seen each other for a few years, Chen Luohan knew Qiao Yanrou very well and she was not telling the truth.
Fu Chuqing naturally put his arms around her waist, and they looked a perfect match.
"You can leave now." He ordered Shen Luohan to leave.
Chen Luohan couldn't stand seeing Qiao Yanrou being intimate with other men: "Mr. Fu, the woman you are hugging is my girlfriend, let go." When he said the last two words, his voice was so cold that it made people feel cold all over.
Qiao Yanrou corrected him: "We've already broken up, no matter how reluctant you are, it's still a breakup."
"Yan Rou, stop making trouble and come here." Shen Luohan's tone became very gentle.
Fu Chuqing blocked her behind him and said, "No matter what happened back then, she is no longer your girlfriend. Please face the reality."
Chen Luohan had heard of Fu Chuqing's name before. The end of the world was only possible thanks to the efforts of him and Ji Yuanchen.
"Take your hand away." Shen Luohan was too lazy to waste time talking to him. No matter how popular his name was, it had nothing to do with him. Qiao Yanrou could only be his.
Fu Chu raised his hand and gently pushed his gold-rimmed glasses, his expression calm: "In that case, then it depends on your ability."
Ji Yuanchen looked at the snow drifting outside without any hesitation: "Go out and fight." It was not him who was frozen by the snow. He wished that the two rivals of love could be frozen into ice sculptures so that he could win the beauty.
Qiao Yanrou didn't want to see them fighting, especially since it was snowing heavily outside. She said to Shen Luohan in a serious tone, "Shen Luohan, please leave. There is absolutely no possibility between you and me."
Shen Luohan's handsome face was gloomy: "You don't have the final say." It was impossible to make him give up.
Qiao Yanrou couldn't make sense to him, helpless and at a loss, repeating this sentence: "Just go away."
Seeing that being tough was useless, Shen Luohan began to coax her: "It's snowing heavily outside, are you so cruel to let me go out?"
Qiao Yanrou: "Your car is outside." Don't try to play tricks on her. She won't be fooled by any tricks you give her.
Fu Chuqing said with a cold and humble face: "Go fight outside."
Chen Luohan gently pulled his coat together and glanced at Qiao Yanrou, and the two men walked out of the flower shop.
Qiao Yanrou looked at the backs of the two men with mixed feelings. Her head ached. They came to her one after another and she couldn't drive them away.
Ji Yuanchen hugged her willow waist and stood beside her, comforting her: "Just treat it as a show, don't feel any psychological pressure."
Qiao Yanrou couldn't do it. She wanted to ignore everyone, but she didn't want anyone to get hurt because of her.
Two purple-black lightning bolts struck Ji Yuanchen at the same time. Ji Yuanchen's hand around her slender waist did not move at all. A barrier appeared out of thin air at the door of the store, blocking the attacks of both of them completely.
In recent days, Ji Yuanchen's strength has reached a new level.
Fu Chuqing was not surprised by his improved strength. He warned Ji Yuanchen: "Let go."
Ji Yuanchen remained indifferent, his big hands firmly on Qiao Yanrou's waist: "Go ahead and fight, ignore me."
These words made Fu Chu laugh. It turned out that by dealing with Shen Luohan, Ji Yuanchen benefited.
"Ji Yuanchen, if you don't let go, try it." Fu Chuqing's warning again was calm, but very deterrent.
Ji Yuanchen, uncharacteristically, loosened his grip on Qiao Yanrou and smiled harmlessly, "Alright, I'll let go. You guys continue."
Chen Luohan was standing aside, so angry that his heart ached. His former good brother had snatched his woman away, and now he had a strong rival in love. He regretted his past behavior very much.
The two men walked a distance away, and Fu Chuqing stopped and turned to look at the entrance of the flower shop.
Ji Yuanchen let go of the big hand that was around Qiao Yanrou's waist when he turned around. Fu Chuqing turned around, and he calmly hugged her again.
Qiao Yanrou: “…” This is not just childish.
She couldn't stop the two men outside from fighting, and was just about to leave Ji Yuanchen and go find Le Liu next door to ask her to call a healer.
Because she always troubled Le Liu, Qiao Yanrou would send a portion of delicious food to her whenever she made one, otherwise she would feel embarrassed.
Before Qiao Yanrou left the door, Ji Yuanchen grabbed her hand and stroked her soft palm in an ambiguous manner.
"Where are you going?"
Qiao Yanrou was anxious and didn't notice that something was wrong with him.
"Find Le Liu and ask her to get a healer."
Ji Yuanchen grabbed her hand and stopped her from leaving: "Don't worry, they can't bear the severity of the injuries."
Qiao Yanrou still wanted to go find Le Liu. What if? The two men outside were so powerful that it would be too easy for something to go wrong.
"I feel bad when you're so anxious." Ji Yuanchen said in a heavy tone, confessing his inner feelings to her.
Qiao Yanrou said apologetically, "Even though we can't stop them, at least we need to invite the subsequent healers in time."
Ji Yuanchen moved closer to her: "Kiss me, I'll go find Le Liu."
Qiao Yanrou's ears flushed crimson as she quickly stood on tiptoe and kissed him on the lips: "Okay...it's okay."
For several years, Ji Yuanchen had been looking forward to her kiss. He hugged Qiao Yanrou's slender waist and carried her into the room. The door was closed, and he pushed her behind the door.
Ji Yuanchen leaned over and kissed her lips, invading her lips and teeth, playing ambiguously with her tongue.
"Um... go find... um..." Qiao Yanrou tilted her face up and was kissed by him until her consciousness gradually became blurred.
Ji Yuanchen touched her sensitive palate with the tip of his tongue, causing her to tremble, and her hands that were grabbing his clothes went limp.
After a while, Qiao Yanrou raised her face, frowned slightly, opened her lips slightly, and looked absent-minded with her cheeks flushed.
After a long time, he buried his head in her neck and said in a hoarse voice: "Yan Rou, stay with me." He suppressed his overwhelming desire and used his hands to tidy up her messy clothes.
But the more he tidied, the messier it became. The confusion in Qiao Yanrou's eyes had not yet dissipated. She bit her lip, her pretty face as rosy as a peach, and tidied herself up with her back to him.
"I...can't promise you now." If he agreed to this, Fu Chuqing would have to fight with Ji Yuanchen for two or three days and there would be no peace.
"No! Go find Le Liu!" Her confused mind suddenly became clear. She had actually forgotten such an important thing.
When she came to her senses, she was about to open the door and run out to find Le Liu. She didn't know how badly Fu Chuqing and Shen Luohan were injured.
Ji Yuanchen stopped him again. His voice was hoarse and he said slowly, "Don't worry. Le Liu has already gone to ask for a healer."
Qiao Yanrou: “?”
"When?" How come she didn't see it?
"Fu Chuqing is her boss. Le Liu is already familiar with hiring a healer." Ji Yuanchen leisurely played with her soft hands. They had fought many times in the past two years.
Seeing that she still looked worried, Ji Yuanchen took her out of the room and asked her to look outside through the glass door.
It was no longer snowing outside, and she could vaguely see two men standing on opposite sides not far away.
Ji Yuanchen saw that the two men did not start fighting, and his eyebrows raised slightly. Fu Chuqing has been acting strangely recently. He has always been meticulous and ruthless, and he would not allow himself to stay with Qiao Yanrou like this.
Especially since he just wanted to challenge Chen Luohan in a duel. Was it a duel or cooperation? Ji Yuanchen guessed it was the latter, as the latter was more in line with Fu Chuqing's style of doing things.
The two men walked into the store unharmed. Shen Luohan looked at Qiao Yanrou deeply, sat in the back seat, and his car quickly drove away from the roadside.
Qiao Yanrou: “?” It’s unbelievable.
She looked at Fu Chuqing who was walking towards her calmly in surprise, as if she was watching a fairy tale. How... did he do it?
She knew how stubborn Chen Luohan was. The fact that he had been searching for her for several years showed that he would never give up easily.
So how did Fu Chuqing make him leave on his own initiative? They didn't look like they had fought.
Fu Chuqing walked into the store and took her hand: "Eat."
"Just eat and let go of your hand." Ji Yuanchen's gaze pierced Fu Chuqing's hand as it tried to interlock with Qiao Yanrou's.
Although Fu Chu let Qiao Yanrou go, the two men started arguing again.
Seeing that the farce had finally come to an end, Qiao Yanrou breathed a sigh of relief and could finally eat in peace. As for the sound of their quarrel, she had become accustomed to it and could ignore it.
However, early the next morning, just as Qiao Yanrou opened the door, Shen Luohan appeared at the door of the flower shop again.
Qiao Yanrou: “?” Wasn’t he persuaded to leave by Fu Chu? Why…
Shen Luohan looked at her intently: "I've thought it through, I won't force you."
Why is Qiao Yanrou so unconvinced? He doesn't seem like the type to be able to figure things out.
She ignored him and started to busy herself with the store's work. She hoped from the bottom of her heart that he could completely give up and start his new life.
Shen Luohan bent down to help her, but Qiao Yanrou refused to let him help and advised him helplessly: "Shen Luohan, go live your own life. You are just wasting your time here."
No matter what, she would not get back together with him.
Shen Luohan's expression was gloomy: "Qiao Yanrou, do you have to say such harsh words?" He didn't want to listen.
Qiao Yanrou looked up at him and said, "Please let go. Don't make things too awkward."
Shen Luohan told her calmly: "If you want me to let go, I'll have to die."
She was very helpless and simply ignored him, letting him do whatever he wanted.
Ever since Shen Luohan appeared, there was another figure in the flower shop, but Qiao Yanrou basically ignored him.
Fu Chuqing and Ji Yuanchen also ignored his existence, and even did not bring Chen Luohan into the quarrel.
Chen Luohan is like a weed that grows again in the spring breeze. Even if no one cares about him, he still stubbornly appears in the flower shop.
Qiao Yanrou herself did not expect that the person who gave her the least worry was the rebellious Xue Yu.
Today is New Year's Eve. It was snowing heavily outside in the morning, but she saw Xue Yu standing in front of a big tree looking at her. She thought he would leave after a while. When she looked up again after a while, the figure was still there, and his body was covered with falling white snowflakes.
Qiao Yanrou couldn't go over to persuade him, but she couldn't bear to see it. It was not right to go over to persuade him, for she was afraid that he would come back to haunt her again.
In the end, she chose a compromise, opened an umbrella and left through the back door, going around to a newly opened dessert shop next door, which was run by a couple with a boy about ten years old.
The boy was playing in the snow outside at this time. Qiao Yanrou got the consent of the boy's parents, waved the boy over, and asked him to do a favor. She would give him a generous reward after the task was completed.
The boy agreed shyly. After Qiao Yanrou finished speaking, he ran to the man standing outside the big tree with an open umbrella.
"Brother, it's snowing so heavily, you should go back early." The boy advised him according to Qiao Yanrou's words.
Xue Yu took the umbrella he handed over and looked carefully into the empty flower shop: "Did a beautiful lady ask you to come here?"
The boy shook his head at him: "My parents asked me to deliver the umbrella. When you have time, you can go to that shop for dessert. It's owned by my family." He did not forget to solicit business.
When Xue Yu heard that it was not the umbrella that Qiao Yanrou asked him to deliver, although he was disappointed, he still agreed to it kindly and took out chocolate from the storage space and gave it to the boy.
The boy happily ran back to the dessert shop with the chocolate in his hand, and refused to put the food given by Qiao Yanrou away from his parents.
Xue Yu stood there holding an umbrella and waited for a long time, but he didn't see Qiao Yanrou appear again.
She may have gone back to her room to rest...
Qiao Yanrou watched him leave with an umbrella in the dessert shop, and then returned to the flower shop to continue her work.
Today is New Year's Eve. She tidied up the flower shop and planned to take a day off.
Prepare a sumptuous New Year’s Eve dinner to welcome the new year.
Not long after, Fu Chuqing and Ji Yuanchen arrived. They both disagreed with her spending New Year's Eve in the store and wanted her to go back to the villa to celebrate the New Year.
Qiao Yanrou watched them arguing with each other, neither of them giving in, and they all wanted her to spend the New Year in the villa they gave her.
"Stop arguing. I've decided to spend New Year's Eve here this year and not go anywhere else."
Ji Yuanchen could only accept her decision. As long as she was by his side, no matter where, it would be fine.
Not long after, Shen Luohan walked into the flower shop carrying large and small bags and placed all the vegetables in the kitchen.
Qiao Yanrou thought that Shen Luohan would not appear in the store on New Year's Eve, but she didn't expect him to come with a bunch of dishes, most of which were seafood.
Shen Luohan guessed that she would spend New Year's Eve in the flower shop, so he brought a lot of delicious dishes to the shop.
"I'll cook tonight." Shen Luohan wanted to show off his cooking skills, but Ji Yuanchen and Fu Chuqing both pulled him away, refusing to let him get close to Qiao Yanrou.
Ji Yuanchen took the dishes out of the storage space and placed them on the kitchen table.
"Don't even think about cooking. You won't even get to make the ingredients."
The person Shen Luohan was most unhappy with was Ji Yuanchen, because it was he who had snatched away Qiao Yanrou.
"Are the dishes cooked by you, Ji Huli, edible?" He said to Ji Yuanchen in a sarcastic tone.
Ji Yuanchen didn't mind being called a "fox spirit" and calmly retorted, "How can you still be a fox if you don't have any skills?"
Shen Luohan was so angry that he gritted his teeth, but he couldn't do anything about it. It was his fault first. In front of these two rivals, his status was the lowest. If he couldn't bear it, he would have to lose Qiao Yanrou completely.
Fu Chuqing was too lazy to pay attention to them and was still trying to persuade Qiao Yanrou to go back to the villa for the New Year's Eve dinner.
"You can watch the fireworks at night. There are trees all around here that will block your view." Fu Chuqing let the two men in the kitchen quarrel while he reaped the benefits.
Qiao Yanrou looked at her hands, which had turned from snow-white to slightly red after being rubbed by his hot palms. She tried to pull them away several times but failed.
She shook her head. If she agreed to either him or Ji Yuanchen, there would be no way to have a good New Year's Eve and there would be no way they wouldn't fight.
Fu Chu's hoarse voice seemed to be tempting her: "Don't you miss me?"
Qiao Yanrou looked at him with bewildered eyes: "I..."
A burst of mental power directly destroyed the mental power overflowing from Fu Chuqing.
Ji Yuanchen stood in the aisle, his expression colder than the frost and snow in deep winter, his eyes warning Fu Chuqing without warmth.
Although he didn't say a word, everyone could see that he might kill someone in the next second.
Qiao Yanrou came back to her senses, still a little confused. Was Fu Chuqing confusing her again?
Fu Chuqing's desire to have her return to the villa for the New Year's Eve dinner was so strong that his mental power temporarily controlled his reason.
"Sorry, I need to leave for a while." Fu Chuqing's eyes were full of apology. He needed to stay away from her for a while. After saying that, he strode out of the flower shop.
Fu Chuqing looked up at the falling snowflakes. His mental power was getting stronger and stronger, but also becoming more and more out of control. Recently, his desires were too strong several times, and he lost his mind and went to find Qiao Yanrou in the middle of the night, but was stopped in time by Ji Yuanchen.
An umbrella was held over his head from behind, shielding him from the falling snowflakes.
He turned around and saw Qiao Yanrou wearing a white coat with a scarf covering half of her face. Her eyes were gentle and charming, reflecting his figure.
"Don't catch a cold." Today is New Year's Eve, and everyone should be safe and healthy.
At this moment, it seemed as if the whole world only had her in front of him. Fu Chu gently held the umbrella she handed him, and the umbrella he held was tilted towards her.
Qiao Yanrou advised again: "Why don't you go into the room and calm down?" It was too cold outside, even an iron man couldn't stand it.
