Chapter 70 Chapter 70 Love Me or Not
"If there is something wrong, why don't you explain it to her clearly? It's just a misunderstanding." Qiu Boyu laughed.
Zhao Qingshi glanced at him, not wanting to speak seeing his gloating expression. At that moment, Gu Suyan came over, brushed back her brown hair, and sat down. "What are you talking about?"
This question was addressed to Qiu Boyu. Before he could say anything, he added, "The wedding is next week. I'm so nervous. I wonder if Wanwan is nervous too."
Qiu Boyu kicked him and nodded at him. When Gu Suyan looked at Zhao Qing, he saw him turning his phone with a sullen face. He whispered, "What's wrong with him? He looks so grumpy."
"What can I do? I had a fight with Xiangyi."
"You're an old married couple, why are you still arguing?"
Qiu Boyu narrowed his peach blossom eyes and said, "You'll have to ask him."
"What are you two talking about?" Zhao Qingshi raised his eyelids and glanced over.
Gu Suyan immediately reacted: "We are discussing whether to book a room for you upstairs."
"No."
Gu Suyan said casually: "You are not waiting for your wife to pick you up, are you? I..."
Before he finished speaking, Gu Suyan felt a death gaze, dark and murderous, as if he wanted to eat someone. Sorry, he was wrong.
Zhao Qingshi sank deeply into the sofa, seemingly at his wit's end. "She doesn't care about me. Her heart is harder than stone."
Gu Suyan: "..."
Qiu Boyu: “…”
Gu Suyan ordered the music to stop and sat down, ready to comfort his injured brother. But just as he sat down, Zhao Qingshi's phone rang. The man, who had seemed so lifeless just moments before, felt like he'd been struck by a club. He reached out to grab the phone, and a smile of imperceptible tenderness spread across his lips.
On the other end of the phone, Ruan Xiangyi cried out in tears: "Zhao Qingshi, where are you? I just twisted my foot while taking a shower. It hurts so much."
The man immediately stood up and walked out, his brows filled with anxiety, but he still whispered softly, "Be good, don't move, I'll be right back."
Leaving two men behind, looking at each other.
Twenty minutes later, Zhao Qingshi rushed back to the villa. Aunt Cui was about to go out to throw away the garbage and was almost knocked down.
Zhao Qingshi grabbed her and asked, "Aunt Cui, where is Xiangyi? How is she?"
Aunt Cui steadied herself, a little puzzled: "Madam is upstairs, she's fine."
"very good?"
Aunt Cui nodded: "She just said she wanted to have a midnight snack, and the kitchen is stewing it right now."
Zhao Qingshi seemed to be thinking about something and went straight to the master bedroom upstairs.
In the master bedroom, Ruan Xiangyi was sitting on the bed applying body lotion to herself. When she heard the noise, she hadn't expected him to come back so early. Their eyes met, and there was still milky white body lotion on her palm.
Zhao Qingshi squatted beside the bed, looking nervous: "Where is it twisted? Let me see."
Ruan Xiangyi hesitated for a moment, then stretched out her left leg to him. Her eyes rolled around as she turned her head. Zhao Qingshi held her ankle. Her skin, freshly smeared with body lotion, was smooth and fragrant. "Where does it hurt?"
Ruan Xiangyi moved her feet and pointed to a random place: "Here."
Zhao Qingshi rubbed it and asked, "Here?"
Ruan Xiangyi said "Ah" a little late, "It hurts."
Zhao Qingshi changed his position: "Here?"
"pain."
"Does this hurt too?"
"pain."
"I'll call a doctor." Zhao Qingshi opened his phone. Seeing this, Ruan Xiangyi quickly stopped him. "Actually, I don't think it hurts that much. It's so late, so let's not trouble them."
Zhao Qingshi raised his eyebrows: "Are you sure?"
Ruan Xiangyi nodded.
"Okay, I'll go take a shower first."
Seeing him walk into the bathroom, Ruan Xiangyi finally breathed a sigh of relief. It was her first time pretending to be sick, and she wasn't very experienced. She had gotten body lotion all over her nightgown. She continued to apply body lotion to herself, making herself smell good. A few minutes later, Zhao Qingshi called her from the bathroom, "Xiangyi, help me get a towel."
"Okay." Ruan Xiangyi got off the bed and went to the closet to get a towel. She walked to the door, knocked, and handed it over: "I've got it."
The door opened directly, revealing Zhao Qingshi's face. He didn't answer, but glanced at her legs and said nothing. His clothes were still on, and he was basically deceiving her, not realizing that he was exposed.
Zhao Qingshi took the towel and said politely, "Thank you."
Ruan Xiangyi curved her lips and said, "You're welcome."
There was a knock on the door. It must be Aunt Cui. She turned and walked out. Just after taking two steps, she felt a cold gaze from behind. She turned around and found his eyes on her legs.
Oops, forgot to install it.
There was a hint of awkwardness in the air. Ruan Xiangyi's face flushed red as she pretended to limp as she went to open the door. Zhao Qingshi stared at her back for a moment and then laughed in anger.
Aunt Cui brought her a bowl of red date dumplings. Ruan Xiangyi sat on the sofa, ate two and then put down the spoon. Her attention was all on the bathroom. When the sound of water stopped, her heart lifted and she took six bites of a dumpling.
The man walked out without a bathrobe, his lower body wrapped in a bath towel. The water on his upper body had not yet completely dried, flowing along the texture of his skin into the invisible area. Ruan Xiangyi couldn't take her eyes away. Even though she had touched him many times, he was still a little distracted by being so naked in front of her.
The man glanced at the contents of her bowl and said, "Aunt Cui brought it up."
Ruan Xiangyi scooped one and put it to his mouth: "Eat it, it's sweet."
He shook his head: "Eat it."
He changed into pajamas and sat at the head of the bed, flipping through a book. The soft light shone on him, and his heart softened. He left the unfinished glutinous rice balls aside. Ruan Xiangyi walked over, her slippers aligned with his, and knelt on the bed to sit directly on him.
Zhao Qingshi put his arm around her waist, raised his eyes, and asked knowingly, "What are you doing?"
Ruan Xiangyi took his book away: "I was wrong."
Zhao Qingshi raised his eyebrows and said, "I won't pretend anymore."
"You saw that a long time ago," she muttered.
"What do you see?"
"I didn't twist my ankle." It was the first time I gave in, and I wasn't used to it, so I said hesitantly, "I was lying to you. I wanted you to come back soon."
"What are you doing back?"
"Let's talk."
Zhao Qingshi chuckled and glanced at her pajamas. The outer belt was open, and she was wearing a suspender underneath. It was made of silk. She was not wearing any underwear, so it was easy to see the whiteness inside. He had learned how to seduce her.
"Is that how we're going to talk?"
Ruan Xiangyi got off him and sat cross-legged. Zhao Qingshi reached out to help her push the hair on her chest aside, and the tips of her ears turned red.
He did it on purpose.
Zhao Qingshi looked at her quietly for a moment. Seeing that she showed no sign of speaking, it seemed she hadn't yet decided where to begin. He lifted her chin and cupped her face with one hand. "I just have one question."
Ruan Xiangyi bit her lip subconsciously: "What."
Zhao Qingshi tapped her chest and asked, "Do you love me or not?"
Ruan Xiangyi replied without hesitation: "Love!"
The sound was quiet at night, as if several strings were plucked, and every beat of the heart seemed to be dancing on them. The sound of drums became louder and louder, and now Zhao Qingshi was unable to recover.
"I love you!" Seeing that he didn't respond, Ruan Xiangyi added.
Zhao Qingshi lowered his head, his nose casting a shadow. What was he doing? Couldn't he sense whether she loved him or not? He had to force her to speak out before he could get to the bottom of it. He reached out and stroked her face, kissing her forehead devoutly. "I love you, too."
That’s the problem. After talking about it, I feel relieved.
"Isn't the graduation thesis defense next week?" Zhao Qingshi asked.
"Yes, we did take graduation photos at that time. Guo Wen said that some majors took graduation photos before the defense. They had sullen faces and no mood to smile, so the graduation photos didn't look good."
Zhao Qingshi curled his lips and said, "Congratulations to our Xiangyi for finally graduating."
"My mom said she'll go on graduation day too." Ruan Xiangyi asked him, staring at him expectantly, "Are you going too?"
"I might have to go to New York next week." Zhao Qingshi said apologetically with a hint of regret, "I might not be able to make it in time."
Ruan Xiangyi uttered an "ah" and quickly concealed the disappointment in her eyes: "It's okay, work is more important."
Zhao Qingshi also sighed, thinking about how to rewind time. Her legs touched his, slippery, and he couldn't help but think of the scene he had just seen.
"Changed your brand? You smell so good."
Ruan Xiangyi blushed and nodded: "Just bought it."
With the soft fragrance in her arms, Zhao Qingshi finally understood the power of these words. After living together for so long, how could she not know his body's reaction?
"Do you need help?" she asked sympathetically.
Zhao Qingshi turned sideways, still able to endure: "No need."
"Really?" She asked deliberately, then rubbed him with her foot. He was getting more and more naughty. Zhao Qingshi held her thigh and pinched it lightly with his fingertips. It didn't hurt, but it was itchy. He grabbed her leg that was about to retract, "Do you know it's uncomfortable? And you still provoke me?"
She even picked out such a dress. He saw it all from his perspective. Ruan Xiangyi noticed it, pulled up her collar, and glared at him coquettishly: "Pervert."
Zhao Qingshi laughed and pushed her hand away like a gangster: "Why are you blocking it? You've seen it all. It's too late to block it now."
Don't think he can't see through her little thoughts: "You're just taking advantage of the fact that I can't do anything to you, Xiangyi, don't be so arrogant. When this guy comes out, you'll have a chance to pay back your debt."
He could do it before, but now that she was pregnant, he didn't dare to do it anymore, fearing that it might hurt the baby. He thought, "I can just endure it for a few months. It's not like I haven't endured it before." But she was just like that, using chicken feathers as a token of authority and provoking him every day.
She didn't know how to do this before.
"Don't think about this kind of thing every day. It's not good for your health."
How dare you say such things after provoking him? Zhao Qingshi pressed his hand against her chest and raised his eyebrows at her frankly.
Ruan Xiangyi bit her lip.
Still not as bad as him.
"What? If you don't accept it, you can touch it back." He challenged.
"real?"
"That depends on whether you have the courage." Normally, I wouldn't even dare to look at her with the lights on, so there's no way she would dare to take the initiative.
Unexpectedly, the next second, all the energy and blood in the body rushed to one place.
The instigator grinned smugly. Zhao Qingshi pinched her face, couldn't help but curse, threw back the quilt and walked to the bathroom.
Ruan Xiangyi covered herself with the quilt, feeling extremely shy.
