"But what?"
Huo Qinghuai didn't say anything.
Chi Zhan didn't ask and just smoked in silence.
In the end, Huo Qinghuai couldn't help it.
"You ask me."
"You can say it if you want."
Huo Qinghuai clenched his fists, took a few deep breaths, and suppressed the curse words that were about to come out.
If it weren't for the favor they owed, or the close relationship and shared interests.
I really don't want to bother with him.
"I've been thinking a lot lately about why I can be friends with you."
"I had the same question."
Zhou Fang walked over and handed Huo Qinghuai a glass of wine.
Huo Qinghuai's eyes turned darker, "Could this be from my wine cellar?"
Zhou Fang curled his lips and smiled: "Out of print."
What evil did Huo Qinghuai do in his previous life that he met them in this life?
"Do you know that this is a rare and priceless piece?"
"I know, so I'll try it while I'm still alive."
“…”
Zhou Fang shook the goblet, took a sip, and nodded with satisfaction.
“It tastes good.”
Huo Qinghuai cursed, and Zhou Fang laughed, "Won't this thing of yours always be dead if it's just left there?"
"Now that I have it, of course I have to taste it. It's hard to take it into the coffin."
It’s all open.
Huo Qinghuai was too lazy to say anything.
He took a sip in anger.
It’s really good.
"Liao Wen Zhaoqing's beloved one?"
Huo Qinghuai nodded, "He met that woman when he went to the countryside for training."
"Just an ordinary local villager."
"She loved him madly, and even brought him back with her when Wen Zhaoqing returned to Jingcheng."
"Unfortunately, he didn't have Chi Zhan's courage and failed to protect him."
Chi Zhan extinguished his cigarette and asked, "Dead?"
"Well, the death was quite tragic."
Huo Qinghuai finished his drink and said, "There's not even a tombstone."
"So he's always been single?"
"Whether he's single because of that woman is hard to say, but if they're planning a marriage right now, I'm afraid there's trouble going on within the Wen family."
Zhou Fang interjected: "Even if Chi Zhan is very capable now, he's still too old to surpass him in a short time."
Huo Qinghuai answered, "But none of the younger generation of the Wen family can compare to Chi Zhan. How can the Wen family not be anxious?"
"If we don't stop it, once Chi Zhan develops further, the Wen family will be crushed."
Zhou Fang sneered, "So it's unnecessary. He can't stop it."
Huo Qinghuai remained silent.
But there's nothing I can do.
If he was Wen Zhaoqing, he would have done much the same.
…
Jiang Lai told Ruan Nanzhi about his concerns.
Ruan Nanzhi nodded in understanding. "It's normal to be scared. If it were me, I would be nervous too."
"It's a life-threatening matter after all."
Jiang Lai lay on the bed, sighing, "Otherwise, why would the Chi family hate me so much?"
"If I hadn't cooperated with Huo Qinghuai, I'm afraid the Chi family wouldn't agree to my reconciliation with Chi Zhan."
Ruan Nanzhi touched her head.
"Chi Zhan is different from other people. He has the ability to choose who to fall in love with and who to marry."
"Besides, the status quo won't last long."
"Eventually, there has to be an end."
Jiang Lai rubbed the pillow, "As he goes higher, I'm afraid he will make more enemies."
"The Wen family has been dealt with, as well as the Zhao and Wang families."
"But I can't help at all. He has to fight with the people outside and take care of me at the same time."
Ruan Nanzhi smiled.
Jiang Lai was puzzled, "What do you mean?"
"No, I just think you're a little different."
"How do you say that?"
Ruan Nanzhi gave her a bag of spicy strips.
"I used to think you and He Ting were truly in love. You must be sad that he gave up on your marriage. You're not going to look for someone with such a background again."
"Later, when I learned that you were pursuing Chi Zhan, I thought you were very free and easy, not bound by the rules and regulations of the world. But after you fell in love with Chi Zhan, you started to back off."
"You were hesitant and didn't have the courage to give up. I told you that you were serious."
“Now it seems that your heart is full of Chi Zhan.”
Jiang Lai listened to Ruan Nanzhi's words and finished a bag of spicy strips.
Sihasha said, "That can't be possible. You still have a place in my heart."
"Yes, there is only one spot left."
Jiang Lai held her hand and said, "Good sister, you see through it but don't say it out loud."
…
The sisters' tea party and brothers' discussion ended at the same time.
Chi Zhan and Zhou Fang returned to their room to look for their wives.
Huo Qinghuai was alone, so he returned to his room and took out his cell phone to send a message.
That red exclamation mark is both glaring and heartbreaking.
Cold and sharp.
He threw his phone away in frustration, lay down on the bed, gnashed his teeth and muttered to himself:
"See you in two days."
…
Jiang Lai had already washed up and lay down.
When Chi Zhan pushed the door open, there was only some light coming from the bedside.
He took a shower in the bathroom, came out, threw back the quilt, lay down, and hugged her from behind.
Jiang Lai shuddered from the cold.
"You take cold showers?"
"Yeah, it reduces dryness."
“…”
Jiang Lai felt something was wrong and tried to break free.
Chi Zhan hugged her tightly, "Don't move."
"you……"
She was a little stiff. "There should be other guest rooms."
"I won't move you, and you don't move either."
Jiang Lai heard that his voice was already hoarse, so she still couldn't believe everything this man said in bed.
"I suddenly remembered that I have an email to send. Please let me go."
Chi Zhan let go of his hand.
Jiang Lai ran to the sofa and fell asleep.
At first she glanced at the bed and saw that Chi Zhan didn't move.
I wondered if he was exhausted these past few days, especially after flying back and forth to Shenzhen City today, and was finally tired.
But she couldn't be careless. She waited until she heard Chi Zhan's even breathing before she could sleep peacefully.
But when I woke up in the morning, I was in bed, in someone's arms.
return……
"Chi Zhan!"
Jiang Lai tried to stop it, but to little avail.
Chi Zhan whispered in her ear and chuckled, "I've let you rest for a day."
“…”
You are such a genius at timing!
Jiang Lai can only give up.
Chi Zhan was still not satisfied with her giving up.
He used some tricks to lead her into the sea of desire.
…
After finishing, Chi Zhan washed and dressed refreshed.
But Jiang Lai lay slumped on the bed, too lazy to move.
Before leaving, Chi Zhan came over and kissed her forehead.
"I'll have someone bring food over. You have nothing to do today, so have a good rest."
Jiang Lai really wanted to slap him, but she didn't have the strength, so she just rolled her eyes at him.
Zhou Fang also felt refreshed.
Only Huo Qinghuai was listless, with a hint of blue in his eyes.
"You'd better behave yourself, or I'll throw you and your wives out of here."
Chi Zhan replied calmly: "You can drive Jiang Lai away. If something happens to her, she will hold a grudge against you. Ji Jin will probably never forgive you."
Zhou Fang chimed in, "Ji Jin gave Jiang Lai a discount. They're so good together, I don't need to elaborate on it."
“…”
It's a sin.
Huo Qinghuai snorted angrily and strode away.
But after walking a few steps, he turned back and asked Chi Zhan: "Can't you really help me?"
