Chapter 411 Please coax me...
"Let's go for a walk in Lijiang," Shen Qingshu said. "The sunset there is beautiful."
Qi Mingxuan nodded. "Let's go."
There were quite a few people along the riverbank at dusk.
The osmanthus flowers haven't bloomed yet, and the river is calm.
Qi Mingxuan stood by the river, leaning against the railing. "Do you remember? We first met here too."
“Of course.” Shen Qingshu turned her head to look at her, her eyes curving slightly. “Now it seems we are quite destined for each other.”
"Yes, the world is so big, and we have no blood relation, yet our bone marrow is a match."
“Yes.” Shen Qingshu smiled. “I have rare blood type, so I really didn’t have any hope back then.”
Qi Mingxuan looked at her and raised an eyebrow. "I'm blood type O. You're lucky to have met such a great benefactor as me."
“Yes, I’m lucky.” Shen Qingshu looked at the sunset on the horizon. “After walking through the gates of hell, I realized that love and romance are actually the most ephemeral things in life. If they can save you and make you happy, then try your best to hold on to them. If they cause you pain, then let go and take it easy. All emotions in this world can only bring warmth and hope when they are reciprocated. Learning not to force emotions is the greatest kindness we can give ourselves.”
Qi Mingxuan looked at Shen Qingshu.
After a long silence, she smiled helplessly, "If you had said these things before, I wouldn't have listened at all. But now, I understand."
Shen Qingshu turned to look at her. "Qi Mingxuan, you are outstanding. You are the most remarkable young lady in the Qi family. Your parents, your older brother, and Qi Yue will all be proud of you."
Qi Mingxuan lowered her head, her long hair obscuring her profile and concealing the sadness in her eyes.
"If only my older brother could wake up, then I wouldn't have to bear it all alone..."
Crystalline tears fell, touching the surface of the river, creating barely perceptible ripples.
...
As the sun sets and returns to the mountains, night falls.
There is a snack street next to Lijiang, which becomes lively at night.
On summer nights, barbecue and beer are the most popular combination.
Qi Mingxuan just wanted to get drunk tonight, and she wouldn't let Shen Qingshu go home.
Shen Qingshu doesn't drink, but she's willing to keep her company, mainly because she's afraid the girl will drink too much by herself.
They found a barbecue stall and sat down.
Qi Mingxuan ordered some barbecue and a case of beer.
Half an hour later, the third empty bottle was placed on the table, and Qi Mingxuan let out a burp.
Shen Qingshu frowned at her, "You've already drunk three bottles, stop drinking."
"What's this!" Qi Mingxuan was still perfectly sober, but her naturally flushed face after drinking made her look a little drunk.
She sat at a small square folding table, her long hair draped over her chest, her face and slender neck flushed red.
Her eyes, misty with wine, were beautiful without her realizing it.
Shen Qingshu even felt that if Han Mingyu didn't cherish such a woman after marrying her, he was getting carried away.
However, judging from Qi Mingxuan's attitude, she won't stop until she's had her fill of drinks.
Just as she was considering whether to call Han Mingyu, Fu Siyan called first.
"Where are you?" a deep voice came through the phone. "What time will you be back?"
"The snack street by the Lijiang River." Shen Qingshu looked at Qi Mingxuan, pursed her lips, and said, "It shouldn't be that soon."
"Are you eating snacks?" Fu Siyan's tone suddenly became more serious. "Ashu, those foods are unhealthy. Your body can't eat those."
"I only ate a little bit. Qi Mingxuan wanted to drink, so I stayed with her."
The man's voice rose a few decibels, "You've been drinking?"
"I didn't drink it."
I could faintly hear a soft sigh coming from the other end, "I'll come over now."
Shen Qingshu thought it was good that he came over; if Qi Mingxuan got drunk, he would be there to lend a hand.
“Then come over here, it’s over here…” Shen Qingshu glanced at the stall sign next to her, “Uncle Fatty’s BBQ.”
"good."
After hanging up the phone, Shen Qingshu put her phone on the table and looked at Qi Mingxuan. "Fu Siyan is coming over. Why don't you stay at my place tonight?"
Qi Mingxuan rolled her eyes dramatically. "I'm not going to be a third wheel!"
Shen Qingshu: "...You're drunk."
"No!" Qi Mingxuan opened the can, poured two glasses of beer, and handed one to Shen Qingshu. "Come on, have a drink with me."
"Sorry," Shen Qingshu chuckled dryly, "I'm currently taking care of my health..."
"It's just a small cup!" Qi Mingxuan held up one finger. "Your Fu Siyan doesn't have to be so strict, does he?"
Shen Qingshu sighed helplessly, thinking that Qi Mingxuan was somewhat drunk.
It's said that people in a bad mood get drunk quickly, and given that Qi Mingxuan has been feeling weak lately and drank so fast, it's normal that she got drunk.
"You really can't drink anymore." Shen Qingshu got up, walked over to her, took the cup from her hand, and put it on the table.
Qi Mingxuan refused to cooperate, brushed away Shen Qingshu's hand, and went to get the wine.
Shen Qingshu tried to stop him, but a glass of beer spilled everywhere.
Fu Siyan arrived at that moment, accompanied by Han Mingyu.
"Ah Shu." Fu Siyan walked over and glanced at Qi Mingxuan, who was already showing signs of drunkenness. "I was just about to come over when President Han arrived, so I came with him."
Shen Qingshu looked at Han Mingyu and said, "You're here just in time. She's drunk. You should take her home quickly."
Han Mingyu nodded to her, "I'm sorry for causing you trouble."
"There's no real trouble, she's just in a bad mood."
Shen Qingshu looked at Han Mingyu, pondered for a moment, and still felt that she should say a few words of advice.
"Mr. Han, I shouldn't be meddling in your marital affairs, but if you really want to live a good life with her, then communicate more. Also, don't think that just because she loves you, you can hurt her recklessly, and don't try to use her love to control her. She is Qi Mingxuan, a successful businesswoman, the daughter of the Qi family. She has her pride, and she has the cost of that pride."
Han Mingyu frowned upon hearing Shen Qingshu's words. "What did she tell you?"
"What do you think she'll say to me?" Shen Qingshu smiled faintly. "President Han, as a woman myself, I understand her feelings very well. She may have done some impulsive things in the past, but she's not forcing things anymore. Since you got married for Qi Yue, you have no right to interfere with her going out to work as long as it doesn't affect your marriage and family. I hope you won't use your male selfishness to morally blackmail her by using your status as a wife and mother."
Han Mingyu looked at Shen Qingshu, remained silent for a moment, and then replied in a low voice, "I understand."
Later that night, he picked Qi Mingxuan up in his arms.
Qi Mingxuan felt a sudden dizziness, and when she came to her senses, she realized it was Han Mingyu. She frowned and struggled, "Han Mingyu, put me down. I'm not drunk, I can walk by myself..."
"Behave yourself. If you fall and get hurt, you'll go around spreading rumors that I bullied you. Qi Mingxuan, did I desecrate your family's ancestral grave in my past life? Why are you doing this to me in this life!"
"You betrayed your country, that's why you're so unlucky to have met me in this lifetime..."
Han Mingyu laughed in exasperation, "Yeah, I also think I'm very unlucky to have met you."
“But Qi Yue is handsome.” Qi Mingxuan reached out and touched his face, her eyes blurry with drunkenness. “Han Mingyu, without me, where would you get such an outstanding son?”
Han Mingyu protested, "It's clearly because my genes are good!"
“Yes, you have good genes…” Qi Mingxuan lowered her head and rested it on his shoulder, “But Han Mingyu, childbirth is very painful, really painful, can’t you just comfort me?”
Han Mingyu paused.
"If my older brother were here, he would definitely feel sorry for me, but..."
Qi Mingxuan closed her eyes, tears soaking the man's shirt. "He won't wake up, he can't feel sorry for me, no one will feel sorry for me anymore, no one will comfort me anymore..."
Han Mingyu tightened his grip on her arms slightly.
For some reason, he felt a heaviness in his chest.
