Even she herself hadn't expected his sudden burst of energy. She walked over to take back her phone and glared at him, "What are you going to do with my phone again?"
He just accidentally took the wrong phone, why did she react so strongly? Seeing that she was hiding it like a treasure, Zhao Qingshi raised his eyebrows: "Again?"
I've never met such a wicked person. How could he pretend to be so nonchalant? Ruan Xiangyi was a little overwhelmed: "I know everything. Why did you delete my contacts without permission? That's my social circle. What gives you the right?"
Oh, so that was the reason for his tantrum. The smile faded. "Oh, he deleted it. Did he complain to you?"
“Why did you delete my friend?”
"Do you believe me if I say I'm not careful?"
"Wechat and phone calls are just careless?"
"So we've tried everything. You seem to care about Chen Huaimeng a lot. Is it because he's the one you like?" Zhao Qingshi smiled coldly and admitted, "I deleted it. Did he embarrass you? Why didn't you ask him to come find me?"
Ruan Xiangyi looked at him in silence. He always had that condescending attitude of, "What can you do to me?" Ruan Xiangyi finally realized that his gentle side these days was all an act, and now this arrogant and conceited appearance was his true face.
"It was a mistake for us to get married," she said disappointedly.
Hearing this, Zhao Qingshi's usual composure faltered slightly. He said coldly, "What do you mean by 'mistake'?"
"I shouldn't have married you," she repeated. The Ruan family was a dragon's den, and this place was a tiger's lair.
Zhao Qingshi was finally so angry that she laughed. She was talking such nonsense here for a man who was not even her ex-boyfriend. Did she really know what she was talking about?
"Didn't I give you a choice at the beginning? Isn't it too late to say it was a mistake now?"
"I have no choice! It's all of you pushing me forward!" She didn't even have a chance to resist.
The room fell silent for a moment. His eyes grew increasingly angry. "So you want a divorce?"
Before Ruan Xiangyi could say anything nonsense, Zhao Qingshi stifled her answer: "Impossible. As long as I don't want to get divorced, you will never be with that shitty senior brother of yours in this life."
"Why are you so angry? I just deleted a friend." He lowered his posture, unlocked his phone and handed it to her, then found WeChat. "You can delete anyone you want. If this doesn't make you feel better, tell me what you want. As long as it's not a divorce, I'll agree to anything."
"I'm different from you. I won't touch your phone."
"You can move."
Ruan Xiangyi sneered: "Aren't you afraid that I will delete all your former confidantes?"
Zhao Qingshi raised his mouth to respond, "What a bullshit confidante, wait, confidante?"
His eyebrows raised slightly: "Do you care?"
"You're overthinking it. I won't be like you. Your past has nothing to do with me!"
It was like pouring a basin of cold water on him. Zhao Qingshi's face darkened. "After all, you are still doing this for Chen Huaimeng."
"No, I'm not doing this for him." Ruan Xiangyi burst into tears. "Your behavior makes me feel ashamed. Can't I own my past in front of you? Have I ever asked you about the scandals you had with those women before? Have I ever interfered with your past?"
"Yeah, why don't you ask?" The two looked at each other, competing with each other.
Looking at the tears on her face, he felt a surge of irritation in his heart. Finally, he gave in and handed her a tissue. "We both need some time to relax. I'll go find a place to sit down."
He walked out of the bedroom and Ruan Xiangyi burst into tears.
Zhao Qingshi lit two cigarettes in the yard in annoyance, and the blood burned his fingertips. He raised his head and waited until the light in the window on the second floor was off. He blew out a smoke ring and drove out of Xiangshan No. 1.
Gu Suyan and Qiu Boyu were dragged along to accompany the guests for drinking. After listening to Zhao Qingshi's story, they laughed at him tacitly.
"You deserve this day!"
"I really want to know what kind of person my sister-in-law is. She can make you so angry that you drink alone. It's rare to see such a person in a century."
Zhao Qingshi was in no mood to talk to them. He took a puff of his cigarette and said, "What do you think we should do?"
The two of them had a rare tacit understanding: "Ask you."
Zhao Qingshi raised his eyes: "?"
"What can you do with the wife you married? Just spoil her. She's just an ex-boyfriend. You're still her current husband."
Zhao Qingshi corrected calmly: "Former pursuer."
“…”
“…”
"It's all the same. If you hadn't interfered, they would have been together a long time ago." Gu Suyan stabbed.
Zhao Qingshi put out his cigarette and glanced at him coldly: "Did I ask you?"
Oh, still jealous.
As someone with no romantic history, he was confused: "Tell me, why do I have such a strong possessive desire for her?"
Gu Suyan: "From childhood to adulthood, you have always been possessive of everything. You even stole a box of limited edition Lego from me."
Zhao Qingshi: "I spent money."
Gu Suyan complained: "I'm short of your money, what's the difference between that and robbery."
Zhao Qingshi: “…”
After two seconds of silence, he said, "I don't have the same possessiveness towards her."
Qiu Boyu said, "This question is very simple. Think about Li Wenyin. Do you have this feeling towards her?"
Zhao Qingshi said categorically: "No."
Li Wenyin is very coquettish and likes to act like a spoiled brat. She asks him to do this and that in a voice that makes people's skin crawl. That's why he doesn't have the patience to give her that. He can't help but think of Ruan Xiangyi. If it were her...
If she acted coquettishly towards him, he would give her whatever she wanted.
Gu Suyan understood: "I feel the same way about my Wanwan. You must have fallen in love with her."
Zhao Qingshi calmed down and realized that he didn't just want to see her acting coquettishly. He missed her when he couldn't see her, wondering what she was doing and what she had eaten. Seeing her tears made him feel very uncomfortable. How could anyone be willing to make her cry with such beautiful eyes? When he saw her, he just wanted to be close to her, to touch her skin to skin. Even more extreme, he dreamed of her three times in a row, and after waking up, he stayed in the bathroom for a long time. He thought it was a normal male impulse, but now it seems that it was not, he just had an impulse towards her.
Then she thought of her senior brother, rubbing her fingertips. It was because of this man that they quarreled. However, he found the answer in Shen Huaimeng. If he didn't like him, why would he care so much about Shen Huaimeng and why did he want to replace him so much? Everything made sense.
Zhao Qingshi felt relieved: "Oh, so this is love."
"Your love is unrequited." Gu Suyan continued to stab her.
Zhao Qingshi pointed at the door and said softly, "Get lost."
Qiu Boyu shook his head and laughed.
His bar doesn't close at night, so there are rooms upstairs: "Are you going back tonight? Do you want me to open a room for you?"
Zhao Qingshi refused. They could quarrel, but he couldn't stay out all night, especially since she was pregnant. In the last second, he had this thought, but in the next second, after seeing a certain "green tea man", he no longer thought so.
Zhao Qingshi nodded his chin at the bar, where a man and a woman sat. The man looked similar to Qiu Boyu, appearing gentle and refined, while the woman was dressed voluptuously, her upper body almost pressed against him. This kind of young couple flirting in bars was common, so what was so strange about it? Gu Suyan and Qiu Boyu really didn't understand what he was trying to say.
Zhao Qingshi looked at Gu Suyan and spoke word by word: "That man is her former suitor."
Gu Suyan raised an eyebrow at Qiu Boyu as if he was watching a show.
Zhao Qingshi sarcastically said, "Isn't this a high-end bar? They let in all sorts of people, cats and dogs?"
Qiu Boyu: "The girl next to him is the daughter of the director of Zhujiang TV Station."
Zhao Qingshi raised his eyebrows, Oh?
Just when he had nowhere to vent his anger, before he took action, he said, "Any losses tonight will be on me."
Boss Qiu: “?”
The next second, I saw this man walking quickly, grabbing someone by the back of the collar, and punching him in the face.
Boss Qiu and Gu Suyan were stunned and ran over quickly.
Shen Huaimeng's glasses were knocked askew, and he couldn't see the person clearly: "Who is it? What's going on?!"
He Manqi was blocked aside.
Zhao Qingshi grabbed his collar again and waited for him to straighten his glasses. "Did you see who beat you?"
Shen Huaimeng squinted his eyes, only to find that this person looked familiar. Some fragments flashed between them, and suddenly he looked at the photo: "It's you."
"It seems I'm not blind." Zhao Qingshi slowly raised his wrist, "Why are you pretending to be an artistic educated youth?"
He Manqi also recognized him and shouted, "Zhao Qingshi, let go of my boyfriend!"
"Your boyfriend?" Zhao Qingshi glanced at her with a curled lip, then put on a cold expression, "I hit your boyfriend."
Grabbing him, "You have a girlfriend, yet you still mess with her? If you don't deserve a beating, who does?"
Zhao Qingshi didn't come back all night. Ruan Xiangyi finished breakfast and was about to take the cat out for a bath when Aunt Cui suddenly came over, holding up the phone: "Madam, it's the police station calling, saying that the gentleman is there."
Ruan Xiangyi: “?”
Aunt Cui talked about how serious the situation was along the way, and Ruan Xiangyi was worried all the way, thinking that he had really committed something serious. But after arriving at the police station, he was sitting in someone else's office leisurely drinking tea.
He didn't look like someone being detained, but rather someone visiting relatives. After understanding the situation, Ruan Xiangyi finally understood the reason for his coming in. Fighting, how could she not understand how Zhao Qingshi could understand these words? He had been sitting in the police station all night for fighting?
When she saw the other party, Ruan Xiangyi almost thought she was dreaming. But when she saw the scar on the corner of his mouth, she suddenly realized that he was the one who had fought with Zhao Qingshi.
When looking at Zhao Qing again, apart from his messy clothes, there was no scar on his face. It was obvious that it was his fault.
Thanks to this fight, Boss Qiu and Gu Suyan finally saw the legendary sister-in-law.
Ruan Xiangyi wore a white sweater with a pink coat on top. Her face, rosy and bare, looked like a porcelain doll. They finally understood why Zhao Qingshi was so captivated. Of course, the police station chief had personally asked him to leave, yet he insisted on "detaining" him overnight, using a self-torture tactic.
Ruan Xiangyi probably guessed that the two of them were Zhao Qingshi's good friends. She simply greeted them and then walked up to Zhao Qingshi. After a long moment, she said, "Are you going to leave now? If you don't leave now, the reporters will come."
Zhao Qingshi raised his head. After a night, stubble had appeared on his beard. Compared with his usual meticulous appearance, he looked much more disheveled.
Aunt Cui brought him a piece of clothing and asked him to change into it, but he refused. Zhao Qingshi said nothing. Ruan Xiangyi walked in front, feeling like a parent coming to lead her own child.
Chen Huaimeng also followed him out, and He Manqi supported him. She was very satisfied. This was the first time she regarded herself as Ruan Xiangyi's girlfriend in front of him.
The car stopped by the roadside. Ruan Xiangyi paused, intending to apologize to Shen Huaimeng, after all, he was the one who hit him first. However, before she had taken two steps, Zhao Qingshi grabbed her wrist, pulled her into a hug, and, regardless of the crowd watching, kissed her on the lips.
Ruan Xiangyi opened her eyes wide.
Gu Suyan looked at Qiu Boyu, wanting to confirm whether he had seen a ghost.
Qiu Boyu spread his hands.
Zhao Qingshi kissed her for a few seconds before letting go, and paused for a moment when his eyes glanced at Shen Huaimeng.
Did you see it clearly this time? He hooked his lips, put his arm around Ruan Xiangyi's waist and got into the car.
