Chapter 20 Chapter 20 My wife is taking a shower
Ruan Xiangyi went to pick up Guo Wen, who had been working overtime. When they arrived, almost everyone was there. Guo Wen handed the gift over and said, "Sorry, Senior, I have to work overtime."
Shen Huaimeng stood up, his eyes fixed on Ruan Xiangyi, his eyes flashed: “Xiangyi, you are here.”
He spoke softly, as if he was afraid of scaring her away if he spoke a little harder. Ruan Xiangyi handed over the gift in her hand: "Senior brother, happy birthday."
He took it carefully: "Thank you."
"Hurry up and sit down." He called the waiter over and handed the menu to Ruan Xiangyi, "Take a look at what you want to eat."
Ruan Xiangyi and Guo Wen were sitting at one end. When they looked up, they found that there was a girl sitting next to Shen Huaimeng.
She was familiar with the girl. She had seen her before at school. She was He Manqi, the beauty of the Broadcasting Department.
Guo Wen whispered, "Brother, what's wrong? I invited you here, but why did you bring that woman with you?"
"Wenwen, my relationship with Senior Brother ended a long time ago." Ruan Xiangyi explained to her clearly, "It's Senior Brother's freedom to date whomever he wants. It's none of my business."
Guo Wen couldn't understand: "Don't you like him very much? How can it be over just like that?"
Ruan Xiangyi lowered her head to look at the menu, her thoughts drifting far away. If she had once, she would have thought she really liked Chen Huaimeng. Just now, when she saw someone else sitting next to him, she realized she wasn't particularly moved. She casually selected a dish of stir-fried shrimp with vegetables, lowered her eyes, and said, "I'm not that fond of him either."
Shen Huaimeng's circle of friends was basically made up of alumni from the scientific research community. She recognized a few of them. Shen Huaimeng had introduced her to them when they were still in school, and they had barely managed to exchange a few words. When the atmosphere became lively, a guy with a crew cut said, "Xiangyi, I heard you're interning at Yitong TV Station. You have a bright future."
Ruan Xiangyi smiled and said, "Not as good as you, brother. My colleague even interviewed you."
The buzz-cut boy laughed and said, "Oh, you're being modest."
He raised his glass to Ruan Xiangyi: "Junior sister, please keep in touch in the future."
Ruan Xiangyi raised the drink on the table and smiled brightly: "I'm looking forward to interviewing you about your research results one day. Please save a seat for me when you do."
"Given our relationship, it's a given." He noticed Ruan Xiangyi's drink and smiled, "Xiangyi, I know you can drink, why are you trying to trick me with a drink?"
Ruan Xiangyi curled her lips: "It's not very convenient today."
Shen Huaimeng immediately frowned: "Are you feeling unwell somewhere?"
Ruan Xiangyi shook her head: "It's okay."
Guo Wen rested her chin on her hand as she watched the beauty's constant attentions towards Chen Huai and Meng Xian, but his gaze kept wandering to Ruan Xiangyi. Then she looked at Ruan Xiangyi, who was oblivious to the sight outside the window, concentrating on eating. Oh no, she was also playing with her phone.
Zhao Qingshi: How long will it take to end?
Ruan Xiangyi: Almost there.
Zhao Qingshi: It’s over, shall I pick you up?
Ruan Xiangyi: No need, I can just take a taxi back.
Zhao Qingshi: Oh.
"Your ring is very beautiful." Suddenly, He Manqi, who had been silent, interrupted and asked, "Where did you buy it?"
After hearing her words, Guo Wen realized that she had a ring on her hand. Xiangyi never wore these before.
Shen Huaimeng also looked at her hand, fortunately, it was not her ring finger.
Ruan Xiangyi put down her phone and replied calmly, "I just picked it up at the store."
"This ring is from planpart's confession series, called Dongyi. Rings of this brand are never sold individually and can only be customized. Xiangyi, this must be a gift from your boyfriend." He Manqi chuckled.
As soon as the words fell, Shen Huaimeng's expression changed rapidly.
Ruan Xiangyi: "What do you want to say?"
He Manqi stuck out her tongue: "I don't mean anything else, I just envy you. This ring costs 1.5 million."
One million and a half!
Guo Wen was so shocked by the light number that her eyes almost popped out.
Ruan Xiangyi was also a little shocked. She didn't expect a ring to be so expensive.
"You must have seen it wrong. This only cost me a few dozen dollars." Ruan Xiangyi lied without blinking.
"Really? Then maybe I saw it wrong." He Manqi said regretfully.
Ruan Xiangyi had planned to leave after dinner, but when the party was over, a group of people invited her to sing. She didn't have the energy, so she found an excuse to leave. At the front desk, she ran into Shen Huaimeng who had just paid the bill.
Seeing her walking out alone, Shen Huaimeng asked, "Are you going back?"
Ruan Xiangyi nodded.
"I'll take you back."
"No, they're still waiting for you to sing."
"Xiang Yi." Always being rejected by her, Chen Huai Mengxin twitched fiercely, revealing a painful expression, "Didn't you say we were still friends? You wouldn't treat me like this before."
Ruan Xiangyi opened her mouth and saw the girl standing outside. He Manqi was staring at her with a fake smile. Chen Huaimeng noticed and turned back. He Manqi immediately gave him a sweet smile in return.
Shen Huaimeng subconsciously explained: "Xiangyi, the relationship between her and me is not what you imagined. Today she..."
Ruan Xiangyi interrupted him: "Brother, everything I told you last time was from the heart. We will still be friends in the future. I sincerely hope that you can find happiness."
Shen Huaimeng smiled bitterly. He wanted to ask, "Do you have a boyfriend?" He didn't dare to ask, for fear of hearing the answer.
After Ruan Xiangyi left, she received a call from Guo Wen.
"Xiangyi, are you leaving?"
"Yeah, I'm leaving now. Have fun with them."
"Don't go. I heard that your senior brother has prepared a surprise for you tonight. It seems that he plans to confess his love to you in public. You have liked him for so many years. Are you sure you don't want to give it a try?" They were roommates for four years. She knew how much Ruan Xiangyi liked Chen Huaimeng in the beginning, but she was always rejected by him.
After hanging up the phone, Ruan Xiangyi looked at the girl standing in front of her.
He Manqi tilted her head and asked, "I heard that he prepared roses tonight and planned to confess his love to you. Aren't you going?"
Ruan Xiangyi exposed her hypocrisy: "If I really go, won't you hate me even more?"
"You guessed right, so you'd better not go." She smiled.
"By the way, who is your boyfriend?" He Manqi asked curiously, "I recognize the ring on your hand. Did you kick him out because you hooked up with a rich guy?"
"Could it be someone from the TV station?" She covered her lips in surprise.
"If you really like him, instead of being on guard against me, why not spend more time on him?" Ruan Xiangyi suggested sincerely, "You don't have to treat me as a love rival. He and I are just friends now."
"But he likes you. Do you know what he called me when he kissed me while drunk?" Thinking of this, He Manqi's eyes became sarcastic, "He called me Xiangyi..."
"That night, we almost went to bed." He Manqi sneered, "Because he mistook me for you."
"Tell me whether I should hate you or not."
Ruan Xiangyi was slightly stunned.
At this moment, the phone in her bag rang. It was Zhao Qingshi calling. She turned her back and answered it.
"Hello?"
"I have arrived."
"What?"
"On the side of the road, turn on your flashers, I'm here to take you home."
Ruan Xiangyi looked at the side of the road and saw a black car parked there.
She hung up the phone and said to He Manqi, "Your affairs have nothing to do with me. Have fun. I'm leaving first."
He Manqi watched her hurriedly leaving and made a phone call.
Ruan Xiangyi opened the car door and got in, but was stared at by Zhao Qingshi, which made her feel numb.
"What's wrong? Is there something on my face?"
"Have you been drinking?" he asked.
"No." Ruan Xiangyi sniffed her clothes, "Maybe it was stained."
She opened the window to get some fresh air. Seeing that he was still looking at her, she thought he didn't believe her, so she stretched out her sleeve to him and said, "I really didn't drink it. It's on my clothes. If you don't believe me, smell it yourself."
Zhao Qingshi held her wrist and pressed her upper body closer. He saw that she was trapped in the seat in front of him, with the hand with the ring resting on the window sill, looking sexy and ostentatious.
Before Ruan Xiangyi could react, his hands were already holding her face, lifting it slightly and raising his lips to hers.
When their lips touched, a spark exploded in Ruan Xiangyi's mind and she opened her eyes wide.
Zhao Qingshi's tongue pushed open her teeth and went in. He was not a man who could control his temper. Instead of just a light touch, he was aggressive and controlling, biting her lips and swallowing.
The sound gradually became moist.
Ruan Xiangyi finally came to her senses. Because she couldn't breathe, she pushed him away with her hands and made a whimpering sound.
Zhao Qingshi let her go, pulled out and pressed his lips against hers, breathing heavily himself, "Breathe, don't hold it."
As he spoke, his lips rubbed against hers, and Ruan Xiangyi turned her head away, and his lips just fell on her face.
Her chest rose and fell as she breathed.
Zhao Qingshi tilted his gaze slightly to the side, and in the night, his gaze was fixed precisely on the man's face.
There is still a long way to go to compete with him for people.
He hooked his lips, kissed her forehead lightly, and stepped back to sit up straight.
Ruan Xiangyi's lipstick had faded. He stared at her lips, his heart beating slightly.
"Why are you suddenly..." Ruan Xiangyi was dumbfounded.
"Isn't it to check if you have been drinking?" He looked innocent.
“…”
"There's no need to do this..." Her face was still red. She had never been kissed like this before. She could hear the sound of them kissing just now, and she blushed with embarrassment.
Ruan Xiangyi covered her face and didn't want to talk to him.
Zhao Qingshi laughed softly.
Back at Xiangshan No. 1, Ruan Xiangyi changed and went to shower. Zhao Qingshi left her phone outside and took off her coat to get her pajamas when she heard her phone ring.
The man's intuition told him that this call was not simple. He picked up her phone and saw the words "Senior Brother" flashing on the screen. He narrowed his eyes slightly and pressed the answer button.
There was a lot of noise on the phone. Zhao Qingshi sighed softly and listened from a distance.
Chen Huaimeng was drunk and his tongue was slurring. "Xiangyi, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry. I shouldn't have listened to your mother and rejected you. I regret it. I really like you, only you. Can you give me another chance?"
"Can you please stop liking someone else? I really know I was wrong. Please like me again. I don't want to miss you."
Zhao Qingshi really didn't have the ears to listen any more, not a single word he liked to hear. He said impatiently: "My wife is taking a shower, who are you?"
The other end of the phone was indeed quiet, even the chaotic music stopped. Shen Huaimeng sobered up a bit and spoke clearly: "Who are you?"
"Who am I? Didn't you see me tonight?" As a man, Zhao Qingshi knew what method was the most hurtful. Just after he finished speaking, the other party hung up the phone. Zhao Qingshi slowly unlocked the phone, blocked his number, clicked on WeChat, found his name, and accidentally saw the harassing message he sent. He sneered, blocked and deleted it.
