Chapter 35 Chapter 35 She will be sad
Ruan Xiangyi had no mood to sleep. She only obeyed after being threatened by Zhao Qingshi. She had been under a lot of work pressure recently and pregnant women are sleepy. She couldn't help but fall asleep at one o'clock.
In the middle of the night, she was awakened by a thunder. She turned on the light and found that she was the only one in the bed.
What about him?
"Zhao Qingshi, do you think there's something wrong with my brain that I'm not going to sleep in the middle of the night and am staying here chatting with you on the phone?" Gu Suyan asked angrily.
"I'm scared." Zhao Qingshi poked the bushes with a flashlight and spoke lightly.
Gu Suyan laughed: "How funny! You're afraid of the dark yet you still go out to look for a cat? Is such a beast worth doing this for? If you don't know her, you'd think she's your biological daughter."
"I'll be sad if I can't find Xiangyi."
"Enough!" Gu Suyan called out. He really didn't want to hear any more of that. He was going to vomit tonight from hearing this kind of talk. Things like "It's more important than me," "Xiangyi loves it the most," "Xiangyi will cry." He was about to hang up. Why hadn't he realized before that this guy was a love-brained person?
It rained in the latter part of the night. Zhao Qingshi checked the time. If he couldn't find the cat again, the chances of finding it would be even smaller. "Have you heard anything from the cat-finding team you contacted?"
"No."
"You've been cheated."
"Who would dare to deceive me? Maybe it's just your cat that's too cowardly to come out."
Zhao Qingshi didn't answer. A familiar figure was reflected in the light source.
"I won't talk about this with you anymore. I have some news to tell you. Li Wenyin has returned to China. She just came back yesterday. I guess she will come to settle the score with you." Gu Suyan said gloatingly.
Half a minute later, Gu Suyan gritted his teeth and said, "If you don't say anything, I'm hanging up!"
"You seem to have been scammed." Zhao Qingshi pulled a cat out from the dead branches. He looked around and realized it was the cat she had lost. He calmed down and asked, "What did you say just now?"
“…”
"Zhao Qingshi, don't look for me anymore!" Gu Suyan hung up the phone.
Zhao Qingshi took down his phone, and there was a loud noise in the sky. The cake seemed to be grabbed by the throat by fate. It meowed a few times, and then a bolt of lightning struck it, and it dared not meow anymore.
The person in front of me is so scary.
"I finally found you." Zhao Qingshi almost used up all his endurance to not drop it on the ground.
"How did you find it?" she was stunned.
Zhao Qingshi gave her a look and then locked it outside the door. His clothes were soaked with sweat and his disdain was obvious: "You are not allowed to touch it. It is covered with bacteria. It is so disobedient. As punishment, it will guard outside the door for one night."
Zhao Qingshi was still wearing the clothes he had just worn when he came back. His suits were all high-end custom-made, and the workmanship of each piece was extremely expensive, but now, his cuffs were covered with watermarks and mud.
He has mysophobia and he hates it to death.
She was about to speak when Zhao Qingshi grabbed her neck and said coldly: "I'm really angry. If you disregard your own health for a cat like this again, I will throw it away immediately." He had been thinking that if he couldn't find it, he could just buy her another one. However, the thought of her crying and being sad made him very irritated. Fortunately, he found it in the end.
After being with him for so long, she knew he wouldn't. She was very moved, tears welling up in her eyes as she stood on tiptoe and hugged him: "Thank you."
For the first time, she could be cherished like this.
"Dirty." He let go. Although he wanted her to hold him for a while longer, he was very dirty.
"It's not dirty." She hugged him tightly.
Zhao Qingshi curled his lips.
After taking a shower, it was almost three o'clock. He lay down and Ruan Xiangyi immediately came over to him.
She had never been so proactive. Suddenly, he felt that the cat was still useful. He pinched her face comfortably and said, "Not sleepy."
She shook her head: "I took a nap."
Holding her and smelling the scent of shower gel on her body, Zhao Qingshi's mind went somewhere.
The shower was in vain.
"Why don't you do something else instead of sleeping?" he teased her.
As soon as he finished speaking, the person on him immediately withdrew: "You need to rest."
He was about to say, "We haven't seen each other for more than ten hours," but she suddenly leaned over, caressed his forehead, and gently kissed him. He smelled the fragrance of her hair again and said, "Good night." Deep down inside, he felt as if something had struck him, numb, and rubbing it would make his heart beat faster. He took her hand and placed it on his heart, saying, "Good night."
Zhou Xunyin's Chinese medicine was effective. After a few days of drinking it, the morning sickness really stopped, and Zhao Qingshi felt much more at ease. After dinner, Aunt Cui brought the Chinese medicine as usual. Zhou Xunyin was not at home today. She returned to Guanlan Lake Villa. Ruan Xiangyi took advantage of her spy and saw Aunt Cui enter the kitchen. She immediately pulled the person next to her and said, "I no longer have morning sickness. Can I stop drinking it?"
She folded her hands and begged him.
Zhao Qingshi originally wanted to say "No," but after seeing her acting coquettishly towards him, he changed his mind. Ruan Xiangyi pouted and said, "It's really hard to drink. Every time I drink it, I feel like vomiting."
"Then I'll tell Aunt Cui."
"But that's what Mom wanted," she said. "Is it bad?"
She pushed the medicine over calmly, supporting her cheeks with both hands.
At this moment, if he still didn't understand, he would be a fool, but he was a businessman and paid attention to returns: "What's the reward?"
Ruan Xiangyi kissed him on the cheek with ease. Zhao Qingshi picked up the porcelain bowl in front of him and drank it in one gulp. He immediately frowned after drinking it: "What kind of medicine is this? Why is it so bitter?"
"Chinese medicine is just so bitter." Ruan Xiangyi laughed out loud. Zhao Qingshi wanted to ask her what she was laughing at, but she peeled a candy and put it in his mouth. "Don't tell Aunt Cui. This is the last dose of medicine today. Thank you for helping me finish it."
Zhao Qingshi finally realized that the little girl was clearly teasing him. He reached out to grab her, but after he succeeded, she was already walking out with her bag on her back, looking at him with a smile: "I'm going to the TV station first, take your time eating."
Zhao Qingshi suddenly felt the freshness of her 23-year-old self. Was her birthday coming up soon? He wondered.
He curled his lips, picked up his coat and chased after him.
Zhao Qingshi personally drove Ruan Xiangyi to the TV station. It was rush hour, and she let go of his hand: "Then I'll go up first."
Zhao Qingshi thought of the flowers he had picked for her yesterday. A cat interrupted his plan last night, and the bouquet was still on the back seat. He thought at this moment: "I brought you a bouquet of flowers. I wonder if you like it."
When she was handed the bouquet from the back seat, Ruan Xiangyi's eyes lit up instantly. It was a huge bouquet of roses, their petals fluttering, white petals wrapped around pink buds, each one filled with fragrance. She had never received such beautiful flowers before. Shen Huaimeng had given them to her on her birthday before, but his taste was very straight-forward, always preferring bright red roses with baby's breath.
"So beautiful!" she exclaimed, "Why did you think of buying me flowers? There are no holidays recently." She remembered that there were no activities recently.
"This bouquet of flowers has a special name, Fairy Kiss, and I think it suits you very well." Zhao Qingshi said with a smile, "Does it have to be a certain holiday to send flowers? For me, your smile is the best holiday."
"Can I take a picture?" she asked, pulling out her phone.
"Do you need me to take a picture for you?"
“But I want to take pictures of flowers.”
"Alright."
"I want to take a photo too, is that okay?" She thought about it.
"It's my honor."
Ruan Xiangyi looked at the camera sheepishly. She rarely took photos because she couldn't let go of the camera. It was the same now. She suddenly wanted to give up. She heard him ask, "Xiangyi, which one do you think is the most beautiful?"
Which one is the most beautiful? Ruan Xiangyi lowered her eyes to search. She thought every one of them was beautiful. She looked up again and the camera was focused on her.
After taking the photo, Zhao Qingshi handed over the phone: "You have to believe that you have always been beautiful."
All morning, she kept thinking back to what he had said in the car. Was she really beautiful? He had seen so many beautiful women, would he think so? She looked at the face in the makeup mirror, and the more she thought about it, the deeper her smile grew.
At noon, Ruan Xiangyi went to the bathroom to wash her hands and ran into Jiang Ruzhi. The two of them exchanged a few words of greeting. After squeezing two drops of hand sanitizer on her hands, she heard Jiang Ruzhi ask quietly, "Was it Zhao Qingshi who sent you to work today?"
The foam covered her fingers, covering the ring, and she nodded: "Yeah."
Jiang Ruzhi thought back to the person sitting in the car. She didn't think much of it at the time, being in the countryside, but now she couldn't help but imagine it in her mind: "A domineering CEO falls in love with a young reporter."
She didn't know how to respond. Just as she was about to change the subject, she heard her say, "Xiangyi, have you noticed that you seem to have gained weight?"
Ruan Xiangyi raised her head.
She believed that the other person was just saying it casually, and she also understood that it was only a matter of time before she gained weight, but when she heard someone point it out, she still found it a little hard to accept.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, Jiang Junlin had a conversation with Zhao She, raising her issues regarding internship, saying that she had taken too many leave recently and the manuscripts she submitted were not well written. He also mentioned Jiang Ruzhi, saying that she had great potential for development.
Ruan Xiangyi understood; she was the one who was kicked out. She could understand that Jiang Ruzhi was indeed very strong.
In the evening, Qiu Boyu asked Zhao Qingshi to play basketball: "Come on, Gu Suyan's girlfriend is back home, let's go get a midnight snack together later."
He agreed: "Sure, it's at this basketball court near my house."
Qiu Boyu: "Sure, let's ask my sister-in-law to come along."
Zhao Qingshi: "I'll ask her."
"Are you going?" He hung up the phone.
Ruan Xiangyi listened to the general content of the call. Because of Jiang Junlin's words, she was in a bad mood and was still hesitant.
"My friend wants to see you very much," he added.
"Meet me? Didn't they ask you to meet them?"
"I want to see you more."
"I want to take you to see them, too."
The car stopped at a red light ahead to let pedestrians pass, and Ruan Xiangyi was immediately struck by the following words: "Then can I go back and change my clothes?"
"Of course." Hearing her agreement, Zhao Qingshi raised his eyebrows.
Gu Suyan and Qiu Boyu pushed and shoved each other, making faces: You go, you go.
Not far away, Zhao Qingshi and Ruan Xiangyi were approaching. They were discussing who should greet first, feeling rather guilty after what had happened last time.
As the two approached, Qiu Boyu was pushed out. He cursed and greeted them, "You're here."
He looked at Ruan Xiangyi and said, "Hello, sister-in-law. I'm Qiu Boyu. You can call me Boyu."
"My name is Gu Suyan." Gu Suyan stuck his head out. "We met at the police station last time. Do you still remember me?"
Ruan Xiangyi curved her lips and said, "Remember, thank you."
"We're family, you're welcome." Gu Suyan winked at Zhao Qingshi.
Zhao Qingshi blocked their view: "Okay, where's your girlfriend?"
"I went to the bathroom."
Zhao Qingshi pulled her aside and said, "You sit here. Gu Suyan's girlfriend will be here later. She's quite talkative. You don't have to pay attention to her if you don't want to talk."
That's very rude, isn't it?
Ruan Xiangyi wondered why he always set her up for trouble. The two on the field were provoking him. Zhao Qingshi took off his down jacket and covered her legs with it, rubbing her head as he went. "Wait for me."

Author's words: Push for pre-order! Next book: A Girl's Prayer
1. At the end of his senior year of high school, Xu Tiao made a brave decision and sent an anonymous farewell email to the person he liked: I wish you all the best, I will slowly forget you.
She thought then that they would never meet again.
Later, he returned to his country.
She is a sophomore, and he is a rising tech elite with a beautiful woman by his side.
2. Jiang Jing has a group of bad friends around him. One time, they told Jiang Jing a secret.
Xu Tiao has a crush on him.
At the time, Jiang Jing was leaning on the sofa. She just found it funny after hearing this. Slightly tipsy from the alcohol, she opened her phone and saw the message that invited her to dinner but was politely declined. The tone was even colder: "Ha! Is this what you call having a crush on me?"
Later, the secret was confirmed.
It was raining heavily that day, and Jiang Jing sent Xu Tiao back.
"Do you usually contact each other by email?" It seemed like a casual question.
Xu Tiao's heart suddenly panicked for no reason, but he didn't respond.
Jiang Jing continued, "Except for work, I rarely use email. However, I replied to a private email yesterday and asked her, 'Have you forgotten it now?'"
He stopped with his umbrella, tilted his head to look at her, stared at her persistently and asked, "Do you think she has forgotten now?"
I pray that I will no longer like you, but I am always attracted to you.
