Upon hearing Qin Shuang's words, Xu Qingyun's heart skipped a beat. "Has Ji Hanchen been here?"
Qin Shuang shrugged. "Yeah, Chu Chu and I were worried about you, so we opened the door to the private room to peek, and we just happened to see him and that bastard Shen Luo standing at the door."
"To be honest, your Ninth Master looked pretty bad at the time. We thought he was going to carry you away, throw you back on the bed, and cuddle with you, questioning whether you loved him or Ji Lun."
Of course, these were all Qin Shuang's imagination, and the material came from Shen Luo and Xia Chu.
Previously, Xia Chu's admirer forcibly delivered flowers to her, which was witnessed by Shen Luo. Shen Luo insisted that Xia Chu had cheated on him and carried the man away.
When Qin Shuang saw Xia Chu again the next day, Xia Chu was covered in bruises and her walking posture was incorrect, which showed how fierce Shen Luo had been that night.
However, after thinking about it carefully, Qin Shuang realized that Ji Hanchen was not the same as that scoundrel Shen Luo, and Ji Hanchen's relationship with Xu Qingyun was not as tumultuous as that of Shen Luo and Xia Chu. Therefore, all the pretense was no longer valid.
Xu Qingyun unconsciously clenched her hands together on her knees.
Ji Hanchen saw Ji Lun holding her, but he didn't see her when her cousin took her away. Was Ji Hanchen hiding or had he already left?
Did Ji Hanchen hear what she said to her cousin?
"Sister Chu Chu, do you have permission to view the surveillance footage here?" Xu Qingyun asked Xia Chu.
Xia Chu paused for a moment, then smiled and nodded, "No problem, wait for me."
Xia Chu left and quickly returned with the tablet.
"Here's the surveillance footage from that time." Xia Chu handed the tablet to Xu Qingyun.
Xu Qingyun lowered her head, clicked play, and then her pretty face turned pale, her body even stiffer than before.
really!
While she was talking to Ye Jingnan, Ji Hanchen returned.
The surveillance footage clearly captured the anger and shock on his face.
Clearly, he heard everything.
Did Ji Hanchen believe it?!
Her pink lips trembled slightly. Xu Qingyun took a deep breath and then handed the tablet back to Xia Chu. "Thank you, Sister Chu Chu."
Xu Qingyun appeared calm, but her hands were clenched together, her knuckles turning white.
Xia Chu smiled faintly, "Don't be polite with me in the future. Qin Shuang and I don't have any friends. The three of us get along very well, and we'll look after each other from now on. If I need Xiao Yun's help, I definitely won't hesitate to ask."
"Okay." Xu Qingyun nodded, but her mind was a mess.
After a moment of silence, Qin Shuang hooked her arm around Xu Qingyun's, placed the wine glass to her lips, and smiled seductively, "Feeling flustered? Come on, have a couple of sips."
Xu Qingyun nodded and let Qin Shuang feed her half a glass of strong liquor.
She wasn't a good drinker, and this one glass would probably make her drunk, but Xu Qingyun knew her cousin had sent a message saying he was nearby, so she sent Ye Jingnan a WeChat message, asking him to come pick her up in ten minutes.
Qin Shuang tilted her head, glancing sideways at Xu Qingyun's flushed cheeks, her bright smile widening, "Aren't you going to explain to Ninth Master?"
Xu Qingyun felt a burning sensation in her throat.
She leaned forward and chopped a piece of watermelon. The sweet watermelon juice burst in her mouth, relieving the spiciness and making Xu Qingyun more alert.
She shook her head. "What's the point of me explaining? If he believed me, he would have asked me immediately instead of leaving without a word. The fact that he's acting this way means he's convinced that what he saw and heard is true. Ji Hanchen, he doesn't believe me."
Xu Qingyun was very rational and calm. Even when she spoke, her voice was flat and there was no hint of grievance or bitterness in her voice.
Qin Shuang and Xia Chu looked at her but didn't respond immediately.
Qin Shuang made a watermelon ball and fed it to Xu Qingyun, "Baby, you can't be so rational in love, or it will make the other person feel like you don't really love them. In a relationship, misunderstandings must be resolved promptly. It's his business if he doesn't believe you, but it's your problem if you don't explain."
"If you explain and he still doesn't believe you, then this man isn't worth your all. Misunderstandings are the best test of a relationship."
"So darling, love needs a mouth, you know?"
Xu Qingyun's clear, bright eyes lit up for a moment, as if a fog in her heart had suddenly dissipated, and she felt enlightened.
Is this what it feels like to have friends? When you're at a loss, someone gives you advice and tells you what to do.
Xu Qingyun looked at Qin Shuang and said, "Then I'll go find Ji Hanchen now."
Qin Shuang smiled and kissed her on the cheek. "Go ahead. If anything happens, call me or Chu Chu. We'll back you up."
Xu Qingyun felt a warmth on her cheek from the kiss. Although she concealed it well, her heart was racing.
Qin Shuang tossed her hair. "Don't overthink it. I'm just telling you that things are going great for us, and I'm here for you."
"Okay." Xu Qingyun nodded, gave the two a slight nod, and got up to leave.
The wine from earlier still had a slight effect, and Xu Qing's gait was no longer as graceful as before; she was swaying slightly.
After she left, Xia Chu gave Qin Shuang a cold look and said, "Xiao Yun's expression doesn't seem to understand the phrase 'the situation is very good.' You just teased her for nothing."
"Hahaha, that's why it's so funny. I really like her. She seems mature and calm, but she's also innocently cute, like a blank sheet of paper. I think Master Ji probably also thinks that girl is a blank sheet of paper, and instinctively wants to touch her, right?"
Xia Chu nodded, "Beautiful girls are always pleasing to the eye, and her temperament makes me feel very comfortable."
Qin Shuang tilted her head back and downed a glass of wine. "It's a pity she ran into Ji Hanchen. Ms. Ren is not easy to deal with."
Xia Chu laughed, "However, you're so knowledgeable when you're teaching others, why don't you just tell Lu Chuan that you're his wife?"
