In the evening, the afterglow of the setting sun shines on the dining table, creating a warm and peaceful atmosphere.
However, this harmonious picture was broken by the sudden dialogue.
When Duan Jiaxu saw Qian Yueqian sitting at the dining table, his brows frowned slightly, and there was a hint of doubt in his eyes.
He turned to Song Jiao, his tone carrying a hint of displeasure: "What? Are you bringing all the cats and dogs home now?"
Upon hearing this, Song Jiao just raised her eyes slightly. Her eyes were calm and firm, as if she had long been accustomed to such quarrels.
"You can bring cats and dogs home, so why can't I? Besides, she is my best friend. It's better than those disgusting women you bring back, right?" There was a sense of sarcasm and provocation in her tone.
The tension between the two of them instantly spread, making the atmosphere at the dinner table tense and heavy.
Qian Yueqian sat aside, feeling the tense atmosphere. She originally thought that their relationship should be very good, but she didn't expect that they would start quarreling as soon as they met.
She couldn't help but feel secretly happy, thinking that she seemed to have a chance.
However, Duan Jiaxu's next words surprised her.
He looked at her with great interest, a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, as if he was watching a good show.
He directly rejected her proposal, looked at Song Jiao firmly and said, "You stay here well and stay as long as you want."
The moment Song Jiao lowered her eyes, a hint of sarcasm flashed in her eyes.
She understood Duan Jiaxu's intention. He wanted to deliberately indulge Qian Yueqian and try to win over the people around her to his camp.
However, this was all part of her plan.
The meal was eaten in silence. Apart from Qian Yueqian who occasionally tried to find topics to talk about, the other two did not speak.
This kind of atmosphere does make people feel a bit boring and awkward.
After dinner, Song Jiao turned around and went back to her room, leaving only Duan Jiaxu and Qian Yueqian in the living room.
After a long silence, Duan Jiaxu took the lead in breaking the deadlock.
He looked at Qian Yueqian and asked, "When did you become best friends with Qian Jiu? Why haven't I heard her mention you in all the time we've been married?"
The gloom in Qian Yueqian's eyes flashed away, and she said with a smile: "We have known each other for more than ten years, and have been together since elementary school. I happened to be abroad when you got married, so I didn't come."
"It's her blessing to find a man like you!"
Song Jiao in the bedroom listened to Qian Yueqian's words on the system screen and couldn't help but chuckle, "Such a good blessing, it's for you!"
Jia Xu nodded slightly, as if he didn't have too many doubts about Qian Yueqian's explanation.
However, his gaze remained sharp, as if he could see through people's hearts. He said calmly, "So that's how it is. Then you must have a very good relationship."
Qian Yueqian's heart tightened, not knowing what Duan Jiaxu's words really meant.
She could only try to remain calm and said with a smile: "Yes, we have always been good friends who can talk about anything."
Duan Jiaxu didn't say anything else, just looked at Qian Yueqian deeply, then turned and walked towards the study.
The game of cat and mouse has just begun. It is obvious that this woman has ulterior motives. Instead of staying with Qianjiu, it is better to let him play first.
At night, Duan Jiaxu asked the maid to deliver a gorgeous silk suspender to Qian Yueqian's room.
This suspender has a delicate texture and a silky luster, and it is obvious that it is worth a lot of money.
Qian Yueqian took the suspenders and immediately understood Duan Jiaxu's intention. A smug smile appeared on her face.
However, Song Jiao had lost interest in the show that was about to take place that night.
She knew full well that Duan Jiaxu's performance in bed was always quick and swift, finishing in less than ten minutes. She sneered and thought, a man like that is really nothing to behold, yet some people still think they are so self-righteous.
It was also from this night that Duan Jiaxu began to ask Qian Yueqian about the original owner.
Every time she answered seriously, she would receive a priceless gift the next day. This went on for several days, and Qian Yueqian couldn't help but feel elated.
Ten days later
Qian Yueqian could no longer suppress her inner desire to show off.
When she had dinner that night, she deliberately put on the silk suspender dress that Duan Jiaxu had given her.
The close-fitting design of the skirt highlights her curvy figure, and the gorgeous style makes her shine under the lights.
She wore a gorgeous necklace around her neck and a valuable bracelet on her wrist.
Song Jiao sat at the dining table, looking at Qian Yueqian's smug look, and couldn't help but sneer in her heart.
She pretended not to know and praised, "Qianqian, I've noticed that you've become more and more beautiful recently, and you've got more and more luxury goods on you!"
What's the saying? See through, don't speak out. But Qian Yueqian didn't understand Song Jiao's implication at all. She continued to show off: "This is what my boyfriend bought me. Isn't it beautiful?"
Duan Jiaxu, who was sitting at the side eating, suddenly paused. He glanced at Qian Yueqian coldly, with a hint of displeasure in his tone: "Enough, eat first!"
However, Qian Yueqian seemed not to hear what he said and continued to show off.
The next second, Duan Jiaxu stood up suddenly and gave Qian Yueqian a slap in the face.
"I told you to eat first! Don't you understand?" His voice revealed strong anger and impatience.
Qian Yueqian was stunned by the slap. She covered her cheek and looked at Duan Jiaxu in disbelief.
Song Jiao had an expression of enjoying the show, she knew that Duan Jiaxu would not let Qian Yueqian be so proud.
After all, women who follow Duan Jiaxu always wear pajamas like this and always do things to show off.
Isn't this equivalent to directly telling Song Jiao that they are together?
A trace of fear and anger flashed in Qian Yueqian's eyes. She never thought that Duan Jiaxu would actually attack her in public.
Her cheeks burned with pain, and the humiliation in her heart was almost unbearable.
"You, you actually hit me?" Qian Yueqian's voice was trembling and full of disbelief.
Duan Jiaxu looked at her expressionlessly, as if he had not been the one to slap her.
"I've already warned you not to talk while eating. If you don't listen, I don't mind asking you to leave here." His voice was cold and ruthless, making Qian Yueqian shiver involuntarily.
Song Jiao watched this scene from the side and couldn't help feeling a little happy.
So this is the consequence of being disobedient. I just don’t know how long this woman Duan Jiaxu will continue to play.
"I'm full, you guys take your time eating!" Song Jiao stood up, turned around and walked towards the room.
