Chapter 73 Chapter 73 What really matters to her...
The female guests at the dinner table were stunned when they heard the conversation between the two.
Especially Qiao Wanshu. She looked at Wu Xuan and then at Xu Qinghu. Her keen intuition told her that the relationship between the two must be complicated.
Combined with what Wu Xuan had said about his ex-girlfriend, she came up with an extremely absurd guess.
Could it be that Wu Xuan's ex-girlfriend was Xu Qinghu? That's why he treated her so specially.
As soon as this thought came to her mind, she immediately clenched her hands under the table. How could this be? If Wu Xuan was really Xu Qinghu's ex-boyfriend, then her situation in the cabin was too bad.
She took a deep breath and kept comforting herself not to think too much. Maybe Wu Xuan simply disliked Xu Qinghu. After all, he had such a bad temper, so this was not impossible.
"Why are you two arguing?" Ruan Xiaoyu blinked and smiled at Xu Qinghu. "Stop arguing. It's actually quite good that you're willing to speak your mind. At least you're not lying to us."
She was so insensitive that she didn't notice the hidden meaning in the argument. She even hugged Xu Qinghu's hand. "Compared to all this, I hate scumbags who don't say anything more."
Xu Qinghu: "..."
Zhong Zining looked at Wu Xuan with interest. She didn't expect that he looked cold as ice, but his real character was like fire. She didn't know what it would be like to fall in love with him.
Wen Ruoxi showed a thoughtful expression, looking at Xu Qinghu's slightly cold profile, and had the same guess as Qiao Wanshu.
But she wouldn't say too much, after all, saying some things out loud might not be a good thing.
In addition, Wu Xuan mentioned that his ex-girlfriend had "changed her heart", and she was afraid that her suspicion would bring bad public opinion to Xu Qinghu.
Qiao Wanshu didn't say anything either. She lowered her eyelashes and pursed her lips tightly.
[My old swan, among the five female guests, only Xu Qinghu dared to speak to Wu Xuan like that, right? She still has such a fierce personality.]
[What she said is fine. Breaking up is a matter between two people. We can't deny the ex-girlfriend's efforts just because of Wu Xuan's one-sided statement.]
[Am I the only one who thinks these two are weird? Could Xu Qinghu be his ex-girlfriend? Otherwise, why would she be speaking up for her ex-girlfriend?]
[+1, it's known that Wu Xuan was ruthlessly dumped by his ex-girlfriend, and he still can't forget her. He frankly said that he participated in the dating show because he wanted to find a partner, but he wouldn't easily start a relationship. Plus, the cat he brought with him was particularly close to Xu Qinghu, which makes people think too much.]
[I was wondering what kind of person would dump him. Turns out it was Xu Qinghu. That's no problem.]
[Although this is just a suspicion, doesn't anyone else find this exciting? I'm already looking forward to what's next!]
[Stop guessing. Xu Qinghu is already locked in with He Shengnian. She's definitely not Wu Xuan's ex-girlfriend.]
[It can't be Qiao Qiao, it can't be Xu Qinghu. With her condition, can she be worthy of Wu Xuan?]
Xu Qinghu is so vain. If he met someone like Wu Xuan, he would definitely hold on tightly. Why would he dump him? Even TV dramas don't play it that way.
[+1, can Xu Qinghu's fans please stop flattering her? If you want to attract traffic, you don't have to use methods like this, right? It's ridiculous!]
Even if Xu Qinghu was his ex-girlfriend, isn't her behavior of abandoning him worthy of condemnation? Those who betray their sincerity will swallow ten thousand needles!
[Upstairs, go and swallow the needle yourself. I'm not letting you down, and you even prepared three dishes and a soup.]
[……]
The matter of the ex-girlfriend made everyone lose their appetite for food. After chatting about a few more topics, they decided to go home.
The group left the fragrant restaurant and took the elevator to the parking lot. Except for Wu Xuan, Zhong Zining and Qiao Wanshu all drove over. They turned around to look at Ruan Xiaoyu and the other two and asked, "Whose car are you taking?"
Ruan Xiaoyu glanced at Wu Xuan. Although she had already started to deduct points from him in her heart because of his ex-girlfriend, but on the other hand, how could Wu Xuan's frank attitude not be considered another kind of sincerity?
For the sake of his face, she also wanted to give herself a chance.
"I," she said subconsciously, "I'll take Wu Xuan's car, okay?"
Zhong Zining regretted driving here after hearing this, otherwise she could have taken her junior's car.
Wu Xuan looked at Xu Qinghu, who was not far away. She had already opened Zhong Zining's car door, obviously intending to take her car back. His eyelashes drooped, and his face was expressionless.
As for Wen Ruoxi, she chose Qiao Wanshu without hesitation. They would go back in one car, and no one would be left alone.
After the other cars drove away, the door of the car suddenly opened from the inside, and a middle-aged man in a suit and tie with an elegant face walked out. He lowered his head and called Wu Xuan "Master", then opened the door of the back seat and said to Ruan Xiaoyu in a gentle voice: "Miss Ruan, please get in the car."
Ruan Xiaoyu was stunned. She didn't expect Wu Xuan to bring a driver. She thought he drove here by himself.
"Thank you." She got into the car somewhat flattered. Looking at Wu Xuan's indifferent expression, she became more and more curious about him.
Noticing Ruan Xiaoyu's gaze, the driver nodded slightly to her and then closed the car door.
As for Wu Xuan, he did not sit in the back with her, but sat in the passenger seat.
Smelling the faint fragrance in the car, Ruan Xiaoyu felt inexplicably nervous and did not take the initiative to talk to Wu Xuan like she did at the dinner table.
Even as careless as she was, she could sense that Wu Xuan had an extraordinary background.
Like He Shengnian, he was a little confusing to her, and even the driver's aura seemed a little different to her.
Why would such a person participate in a dating show?
Compared to Wu Xuan's superior appearance, his family background made her even more frightened. In the past, when she met such a person, she would inevitably choose to stay away from him because of his class.
But Wu Xuan was very close to her at the moment, and both his personality and appearance met her standards for a partner, so she didn't want to give up so easily.
Ruan Xiaoyu pursed her lips and asked calmly, "Does the driver also come to pick you up every day when you go out?"
Wu Xuan's voice was as clear as ice, "I don't usually drive."
"Is that so?" Ruan Xiaoyu couldn't help but smile, thinking that he already had a driver, so it was normal for him not to drive. "I really envy you. I also want to have a driver who can pick me up at any time, so that I don't have to rush every day."
Wu Xuan didn't respond, but the driver smiled and said, "Ms. Ruan works hard, and sooner or later she will have her own driver."
Ruan Xiaoyu smiled happily, "Thank you for your good wishes."
On the way back, Zhong Zining looked at Xu Qinghu in the passenger seat with a hint of surprise in her eyes. She didn't expect Xu Qinghu to ride in her car.
"Why choose me?" She asked immediately with doubt in her mind.
"Can't I choose?" Xu Qinghu glanced at her sideways. "It's so late, are you going to make me walk to the subway station?"
"That's not what I meant." Zhong Zining stopped the car at a red light, looked at Xu Qinghu's pretty face, and said straight to the point: "Why don't you take my junior's car?"
"I don't want to sit," Xu Qinghu thought of Wu Xuan's overly sharp eyes, "Wouldn't it be nice if I could go back with you?"
Hearing this, Zhong Zining felt strange.
Her relationship with Xu Qinghu had always been bad, and they had even had several frictions. She completely regarded the other party as a love rival and never thought about getting along with her in a friendly manner.
But Xu Qinghu's behavior made her think that their relationship was actually quite good. Otherwise, why would she choose herself instead of Wu Xuan and Qiao Wanshu?
"Don't try that on me," Zhong Zining turned her head away and said coldly, "You and I are not that close."
"Well," Xu Qinghu nodded, "Does this affect my going back with you?"
Zhong Zining: "..."
She took a deep breath and asked, "Is it because of what I gave you before..."
She stopped herself mid-sentence and said through gritted teeth, "I wasn't trying to be nice to you. I was just trying to make myself feel better."
Hearing this, Xu Qinghu's eyes flashed with a smile, and he deliberately said: "I didn't say anything, don't make random assumptions."
Zhong Zining: "..."
Seeing her tightly gripping the steering wheel, her breathing becoming heavier, as if she had turned into a balloon about to explode, Xu Qinghu spoke at the right time: "Thank you."
Eh?
Zhong Zining suddenly turned to look at her. Xu Qinghu also looked at her and said softly, "No matter why, thank you anyway."
Before He Shengnian told her, she couldn't imagine that the person who sent him the message was Zhong Zining. After all, she was Qiao Wanshu's "good friend", so how could she stand on her side?
But under such circumstances, Zhong Zining actually overcame her psychological barriers and made a choice that was completely different from the one in the novel. This surprised Xu Qinghu and made him more convinced that the plot in the novel can be changed.
Whether it is a vicious female supporting role like her or Zhong Zining, they all have their own thoughts and ideas, and are not paper people who can be characterized in a few words in the plot.
They are all living well.
Zhong Zining's expression changed when she heard this, and her tone remained vicious: "Don't think that I will be soft-hearted towards you just because you say this. I won't give him to you!"
"Well," Xu Qinghu said, "It's up to you."
Zhong Zining gritted her teeth again, "If you really want to thank me, shouldn't you create an opportunity for me?"
Xu Qinghu: "Let's put it this way."
Zhong Zining: "..."
"There will be a time to thank you." Xu Qinghu looked at her eyes that seemed to be blazing with fire, with a faint smile on his lips. "Why are you in such a hurry?"
Zhong Zining took a few deep breaths and didn't want to bother with her anymore.
In the cabin, the male guests had already prepared their meals and were eating their dinner absentmindedly.
"I wonder where they are meeting." Thinking of Qiao Wanshu's attitude towards Wu Xuan, Gu Jingchen felt a little worried.
"Where else could it be?" Du Yanting said with a smile, "It must be a very romantic scene."
He looked at He Shengnian's calm profile, and said, "After all, it's not often that he gets to be in the same room with five female guests. After this time together, maybe he'll quickly choose the guest of his dreams."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone thought of Wu Xuan's competitiveness and had different thoughts.
"Let's eat first." He Shengnian glanced at Du Yanting and said calmly, "We can talk about this after they come back."
He was not as worried as Gu Jingchen. He and Xu Qinghu had already confirmed their feelings for each other. No matter how attractive Wu Xuan was, he still had basic trust and confidence in Xu Qinghu.
Seeing him so calm, Du Yanting's eyes flashed, "It seems that Mr. He is very confident."
He Shengnian asked back: "Don't you have it?"
Du Yanting thought of Qiao Wanshu and wished she could get in touch with Wu Xuan, but he said, "Of course I do."
Gu Jingchen and You Zhi lowered their eyelashes and said nothing.
Gu Jingchen had a crisis of trust in Qiao Wanshu. He didn't believe that she would give up the opportunity to be close to Wu Xuan. Feeling disappointed, he also began to doubt his choice.
Now that things have come to this, can he and Qiao Wanshu really be together until the end?
You Zhi was wondering when he would use the date card.
When the group arrived at the cabin, the male guests had already finished their meal and were quietly waiting for them to return.
As soon as Qiao Wanshu parked the car, she saw Gu Jingchen coming to the door to pick her up. She stepped forward and said with a smile, "I'm not too late today, am I?"
Gu Jingchen took the bag from her hand, shook his head and said, "We just had dinner."
"That's good." Qiao Wanshu looked behind him, and when he didn't see He Shengnian, his eyelashes drooped, and he took the initiative to talk about the restaurant where he and Wu Xuan had a date.
Gu Jingchen was a little surprised when he heard this. He didn't expect that Wu Xuan looked so lonely, but the date place he chose was so romantic.
"Are you back?" Du Yanting's smiling voice made Qiao Wanshu subconsciously look forward. She saw him sitting on the swing, with his long legs having nowhere to put, and He Shengnian sitting on a chair not far away.
The man had a calm and reserved expression. After noticing Qiao Wanshu's gaze, he nodded slightly to her.
Qiao Wanshu immediately realized that he was waiting for someone.
At this time, the sound of an engine was heard outside the house. Before Qiao Wanshu could react, He Shengnian had already stood up and strode out.
Xu Qinghu got out of Zhong Zining's car. Her lavender dress looked soft and beautiful under the light. When she saw He Shengnian, her eyes suddenly lit up. She trotted over to him and said with a smile, "I'm back."
He Shengnian nodded, no longer as distant and indifferent as he was when facing her, and even his voice became a little gentle, "What are you having for dinner? Do you want a snack?"
Xu Qinghu shook his head and shared the date with him with a smile. His voice was clear and pleasant, and there was no concealment in his words.
He Shengnian's eyes fell on her face. While listening to her carefully, he responded from time to time, asking Xu Qinghu to share more.
Qiao Wanshu looked at the intimacy and tacit understanding between the two and thought to himself, so this is how they usually get along?
She also thought that it was because Xu Qinghu was deliberately trying to please and flatter He Shengnian that He Shengnian couldn't refuse, so he tried to contact her.
Sooner or later, he will see her true face.
Now it seems that the truly naive person is myself.
If it was really just a one-sided entanglement, why would He Shengnian make so many choices for her?
Looking at the backs of the two people, Qiao Wanshu felt a little bitter in her heart. Could she really alienate them again?
"What are you thinking about?" Gu Jingchen asked in a low voice.
Qiao Wanshu shook his head and said, "I'm a little tired. I want to go upstairs and rest."
Seeing that she was in a bad mood, Gu Jingchen's eyes flashed, "I'll take you upstairs."
Qiao Wanshu did not refuse. She pushed open the door of the cabin and heard the voices of Xu Qinghu and He Shengnian talking again. She lowered her head, changed her shoes at the entrance, and quickly returned to the room.
She used to think that what made her feel most uncomfortable was that He Shengnian abandoned her again and again for Xu Qinghu, and she would always remember the humiliation at that time, but she only now realized that their daily interactions also made her feel uncomfortable.
They are so well-matched, it's as if they have really become a happy couple.
This discovery made her almost doubt her judgment of He Shengnian.
In his heart, can he really accept someone who is about to enter the entertainment industry as his partner?
