Facing emotions directly without blocking hidden words strategy can be done drunk
After hesitating for a moment, Qian Jianjun finally confessed, "Yes, I ran into Xiaoyu last night while eating noodles. Coincidentally, she was also drinking there alone. But we just drank and chatted for a while."
Xue Jiuyue was a little surprised. Mei Rugu must have just sent the picture and not been there, or perhaps she was there but didn't meet Qian Jianjun for some reason. At the same time, she understood Qian Jianjun's misunderstanding. "It's okay, Mr. Qian. Eating a bowl of noodles is normal. You don't need to explain it to me. Besides, everyone has their own privacy, and there's no need to make it public."
Upon hearing the latter part of the sentence, Qian Jianjun was completely panicked. He didn't understand why Xue Jiuyue knew even the details of his conversation with Gu Quyu. But he had no time to think about it. He was like a defeated rooster, dejected. "Oh... yes, Xiaoyu told me yesterday that she bought me a normal hangover medicine. So all my previous absurd behavior was my own fault, I can't blame anyone else."
Xue Jiuyue had no doubt about this statement. She had thought before that Gu Quyu would not leave such a big loophole.
"Mr. Qian, you don't have to blame yourself. You didn't do anything ridiculous! Xinyue is already taken, so you can't throw dirty water on her anymore." Xue Jiuyue first frightened Qian Jianjun, then brought out the theories from Liu Che and "Spit Star" to persuade him: "As for thoughts, especially subconscious thoughts, they may not be beautiful, even immoral, often so despicable that we are ashamed to admit them, but they really exist in everyone. However, no country's laws will punish people for their thoughts. So the key is still the behavior. Let's not talk about the past anymore, let's see what happens next."
Did Xue Jiuyue even know that they had gone to get a room? Qian Jianjun broke out in a cold sweat after hearing this. "I know, and I will definitely never mention it again. And I will never put myself in that situation again. But last night, last night..." Qian Jianjun, who always believed in being "open and honest," hesitated for a moment before confessing everything. "Xiaoyu drank too much, and I couldn't let her sleep on the streets alone, so I took her to find a place to stay. But she's completely innocent and wouldn't dare to overstep the line. You must believe me on this!"
"Mr. Qian, it's a man's responsibility to take care of women. There's nothing wrong with that! You don't need to explain anything to me!" Xue Jiuyue looked at Qian Jianjun's eager and uneasy eyes and smiled. "Besides, I absolutely trust Mr. Qian's honesty!"
"That's right. If something really happens, I will definitely not be able to get over it! But, Xiaoyue, you really didn't go to eat satay noodles yesterday?" Qian Jianjun, who had recovered, felt that Xue Jiuyue just happened to be there. So who did she go with?
"I'm not lying to you. I haven't been to that Shacha noodle shop yet."
Xue Jiuyue's words left no room for doubt. Qian Jianjun asked in confusion, "If you weren't there yourself, how do you know so much about my situation?"
"Know everything?" Xue Jiuyue was confused. "I didn't know what you were doing last night. I thought you were watching the fireworks with the children. I felt guilty leaving you alone with them. It was only when you told me that I realized you had been through so much last night..."
Qian Jianjun kept looking directly at Xue Jiuyue. He could clearly see Xue Jiuyue's surprise, which she didn't show deliberately. He briefly reviewed their conversation and realized that he had confessed voluntarily, driven by suspicion. He couldn't help but sigh deeply, "Ah... people can't do things that are against their conscience. I've confessed to something that is a little shady!"
"So we're friends! Although everything you do earnestly has more than one purpose, you're always aboveboard. Even if you have some ulterior motives, they're all aboveboard. I admire you very much."
Xue Jiuyue's high praise made Qian Jianjun complacent. He smiled modestly for a moment, then turned the page with a question, "Xinyue said Xiaoyu gave me medicine, and I believed it at the time. But what Xiaoyu said yesterday also made sense. I don't think either of them would lie to me. Is there some misunderstanding here?"
"'Love comes from nowhere, but it's deep and lasting'. I don't know the details, and I don't think there's any need for Mr. Qian to delve into it. It's all in the past. You just need to know that no matter who they are, they won't hurt you. Especially Gu Quyu, she loves you deeply, Mr. Qian must handle it properly."
"You and Xiaoyu have a good relationship?"
"Strictly speaking, I don't like her!" Xue Jiuyue was still a little bothered by Gu Quyu's intention to talk to her, not to mention the unsolved mystery of the mental health counseling center.
"Then why do I feel like you're always defending her?"
"I admire her persistence in love. She's almost going crazy in love, but she still controls herself, using only wisdom and trying not to hurt others. This shows that she has a kind nature, which is also what I admire."
Xue Jiuyue broke the window paper, and Qian Jianjun suddenly realized, "Well, you are right. I never doubted her before. If she does whatever she wants, the consequences will be disastrous."
"In fact, sometimes I envy her for her willingness to go to great lengths for love. Mr. Qian, I've always had a question: why can you openly confess your feelings to me, yet repeatedly restrain yourself from accepting Gu Quyu? Have you ever considered that Gu Quyu is actually more suitable for you than I am?"
"I don't know if she's someone else's shadow, and they're cousins! I, I can't be a beast!"
"So, you still care about your wife?"
Xue Jiuyue's direct question caught Qian Jianjun off guard. "I, I... I've said before that I don't want to go too far in anything I do. I..." Qian Jianjun hesitated for a long time, and finally raised his trembling face and looked at Xue Jiuyue sincerely. "Xiaoyue, please, can you please not mention her again in the future? I'm divorced!"
As Qian Jianjun spoke, he covered his heart with his twitching left hand. His last words were as weak as falling petals. All this made Xue Jiuyue more certain of his and Li Jingzi's previous judgment.
"sorry!"
"It's okay. It's my fault."
Qian Jianjun barely recovered and took a sip of coffee. He silently put the cup down, then picked it up again and brought it to his lips... After a long while, and after repeating this several times, Qian Jianjun finally sealed away all his fears and playfully forced a smile at Xue Jiuyue, who had been waiting quietly. "I'm sorry to have embarrassed you. I'm fine now!"
"Why didn't you tell me?" Xue Jiuyue had always wondered why Qian Jianjun didn't say a word, and now was the perfect time to ask.
Qian Jianjun frowned. "It's not something glorious, there's no need to make a big fuss about it... Besides, it has nothing to do with you..."
Before, Xue Jiuyue had always guessed that Qian Jianjun chose to escape and therefore did not mention it. Now she understands that Qian Jianjun was still afraid that she would misunderstand and thus take responsibility for a failed marriage.
"Then can we go back to the past and talk about Gu Quyu?"
"No problem, thanks for the advice!"
"Okay, I'll continue... How does Mr. Qian plan to deal with Gu Quyu's feelings? Continue to avoid or restrain himself?"
"Shouldn't it be?"
Xue Jiuyue recalled the theory that "Spit Star" had once said, and she used it exactly as she reminded Qian Jianjun: "It's better to loosen than to block. This principle applies everywhere. People are often like this: the more taboos they set for themselves, the more they want to break them. Is it possible that Mr. Qian has used a taboo to arbitrarily reject everything, including rationality, and ultimately become an accomplice of desire?"
"Hmm..." Qian Jianjun fell into deep thought!
Xue Jiuyue waited quietly, without saying a word, until Qian Jianjun's eyes lit up. "You're absolutely right, Xiaoyue! I understand!"
Xue Jiuyue smiled knowingly, "I believe in Mr. Qian! Gu Quyu and I have said that the best approach is to try not to hurt anyone. This is also what Xinyue said, 'Everyone's well-being is the real well-being'. I'll give them to Mr. Qian today. From now on, it all depends on Mr. Qian's wisdom..."
Xue Jiyue didn't know a lot about Qian Jianjun last night, but she knew some things last night and wanted to know more. As soon as Qian Jianjun left, Xue Jiyue called Lin Yiyi over.
"Did you have a romantic time last night?"
"Sister Yue, do you know?"
"Qiu Nian wants to give you a surprise."
"It's more like a surprise, more like a shock..."
After listening to Lin Yiyi's story, Xue Jiyue couldn't help laughing. She asked Lin Yiyi with a smile: "You feel disappointed because you failed at the last moment?"
"Angry at their lack of fighting spirit!"
"If he was smooth-talking and playful, would you like it?"
"Too much is as bad as too little!"
Knowing Lin Yiyi's true thoughts, Xue Jiuyue was also relieved. "No matter what you say, you are right. I think it's almost enough. If it really doesn't work, can't you take the initiative?"
“It’s embarrassing to reminisce!”
"You stubborn girl, why do you want to save face with me? Aren't you just afraid of losing your status after marriage? Do you think the Qiu couple's upbringing is so bad? Many times, not arguing is just a fight. You are so smart, if you can't get over your own knot, how can you not see it?"
“To be human, one must be somewhat confused; to be human, one must be persistent.”
"Okay, I won't reason with you. But this situation can't go on like this indefinitely, right? You decide what to do yourself." Xue Jiuyue simply acted like a spoiled child.
"Aren't your two classmates very happy..."
Lin Yiyi's nonsensical, half-spoken words left Xue Jiyue understanding. She knew she had to find time to tell Qiu Nian to invite Lin Yiyi out for a drink. But the two classmates she mentioned made Xue Jiyue shake her head helplessly. Last night, when she was bored, she had even "harassed" Cheng Qing. Whether she asked about her, Zeng Le, or Ren Hongyi, Cheng Qing remained tight-lipped, only saying they could talk in person later.
Xue Jiuyue didn't wait for Cheng Qing, but unexpectedly waited for another person related to her.
"Hello, Mr. Xue, can you sit for a moment?"
Ren Hongyi was still wearing a well-fitting suit, with his hair neatly parted, revealing his square face and a pair of bright eyes.
"Please take a seat. Who is this?"
Xue Jiuyue wanted to take a few more glances at the man who had obsessed her best friend, but he didn't come alone today.
"Hello Mr. Xue, I'm his lover, my name is Jiang Xuehao."
"Hello, please sit down. Just call me Xiaoyue." Xue Jiuyue bowed when they met for the first time.
Jiang Xuehao followed suit and returned the greeting.
She has long hair and three-dimensional facial features. She wears a moon-white bubble-collar shirt and beige trousers. She has a petite figure but a capable temperament.
As soon as he sat down, Jiang Xuehao stated his purpose, "Mr. Xue, I came here today to thank you for saving Hongyi's life."
"You're welcome. I didn't do anything. It's mainly because Mr. Ren's project is so good, and Mr. Qiu happened to be here with me, so he invested directly in this project. It's a win-win situation for everyone, and I dare not take credit for it."
"Don't be so modest. Hongyi has told me everything in detail. But I only just found out about it. Otherwise, I would have come to thank you a long time ago." Jiang Xuehao pulled out a beautifully packaged box from his bag and placed it on the table, pushing it towards him. "This is a small token of my appreciation. Please accept it."
"This is inappropriate. I really didn't do anything. I don't want to be rewarded for nothing!"
Jiang Xuehao said frankly: "Don't worry, it's not something you bought with money. Hongyi said that Mr. Qiu told him that you don't like to accept expensive gifts. Please open it first and see if you like it."
