Chapter 375 A Marriage in Name Only
Outside the gate, there stood a graceful figure, the bright moonlight shining on her body, making her stunning face even more radiant.
Everyone knows that the Qu family has a beautiful daughter who is like a princess. Her beauty is not only the exquisiteness of her facial features, but what is even more amazing and convincing is her elegant and noble temperament. This is the symbol given to her by the Qu family, and it is a unique charm that no one else can match.
She could recite Tang poetry at the age of three, knew astronomy and geography at the age of five, and accompanied her grandfather on visits to various countries at the age of seven. She was able to talk to the wives of foreign heads of state with ease and confidence.
There was once a saying in the circle that if a family married the daughter of the Qu family, they must go to the ancestral grave to see if there was any green smoke several meters high.
And this unparalleled noble princess finally fell into the Zhao family. When this goddess who almost made all young men fall in love with her appeared next to Zhao Yixuan, everyone was shocked.
The Zhao family and the Qu family are a perfect match, indeed!
But those people still couldn't help feeling lost, envious, and jealous.
But who would have known that Zhao Yixuan, who was envied and hated by countless men, was not happy at all about this marriage.
Zhao Yixuan was also surprised to see Qu Si, but he quickly regained his composure and asked nonchalantly, "Didn't you say you were going back to your mother's house tonight? Why are you..."
"I just remembered that I left a document here when I got home. I need it early tomorrow morning, and there are some contents I want to revise." Qu Si walked closer, and the more he looked at it, the more pleasing it was to the eye.
Lan Qiuling also recovered and walked forward, calling out, "Sisi..."
Qu Si seemed not to have heard what had just been said. With a faint smile on her face as always, she said to Lan Qiuling, "Mom, your dress today is so beautiful. Is it from Aunt Rong again?"
Lan Qiuling was stunned for a moment, then nodded quickly. "Oh, right, she told me the day before yesterday that there's a batch of fabric coming from Suzhou that would be a good match for your skin tone. She asked if it would be convenient for you so she could take you there."
"Okay, I'll see. I'm afraid it won't be possible in the next few days because the vice president is going to R City for an inspection and asked me to go with him. How about next Tuesday? Next Tuesday should be fine." Qu Si said.
"Okay, work is more important. Then next Tuesday, I'll talk to your Aunt Rong and ask her to keep the things."
"Um."
"Xuan'er, accompany Sisi back to her room. It's so late. After you get the documents, you can take Sisi there." Lan Qiuling first asked her son, then looked at Qu Si, "By the way, are you going back tonight?"
Although Lan Qiuling herself is a celebrity envied and admired by countless women and has a very high self-esteem, she admires and appreciates Qu Si from the bottom of her heart and is very satisfied with this daughter-in-law. She has always treated Qu Si like her own daughter.
Qu Si had great respect for her, and it showed in his tone of voice, "My mom hasn't recovered from her cold yet, and my dad is not around. I'm worried about her being home alone."
"I went to see her this morning. She was in good spirits. I guess she missed you too much. Okay, you spend more time with her tonight. Xuan'er will go with you later. He has been busy these days and hasn't been able to spend enough time with your mother."
"Uh, no need. My mother knows he is busy, so she told me not to bother him." Qu Si said quickly.
"What's the trouble? He's your husband and half your mother's son. This is an obligation."
When Qu Si heard this, she looked at Zhao Yixuan with her beautiful eyes, which were filled with countless thoughts.
Next, Zhao Yixuan took Qu Si back to the room.
When picking up the documents, Qu Si suddenly said to Zhao Yixuan, "If you're too tired, you don't have to go over there. It's only a few steps away anyway. I'm used to it."
Zhao Yixuan paused and glanced at her meaningfully.
Qu Si opened his mouth, but hesitated to speak.
"It's okay, I was going out anyway, and this is a good opportunity for me to go see your mother." Zhao Yixuan said.
A strange light flashed in Qu Si's eyes, and he remembered that he had just seen that he was indeed about to leave home.
She hesitated for a moment, then said resolutely, "You had a quarrel with your mother just now, didn't you?"
Zhao Yixuan didn't deny it, but asked, "Didn't you hear everything?"
Qu Si was shocked by his special tone. Yes, his tone was clearly unusual. That’s right, it was sarcastic!
"Yeah, I heard it all." Then Qu Si replied meaningfully.
Zhao Yixuan froze.
"Congratulations on finding your biological sister, but I think this matter is mainly your father and mother's business and should be decided by them. Even as a brother, you should not interfere too much." Qu Si continued.
Zhao Yixuan continued to look at her steadily, her stunning face still as elegant and calm as in his memory.
But he knew that she must have something complicated in her mind.
She was laughing at him and even suspected that he had any special feelings for Su Xiao?
Suddenly, Zhao Yixuan felt embarrassed, so he snorted coldly, "You really have inherited her true teachings. You are worthy of being her chosen daughter-in-law!"
Qu Si was stunned, and his calm face became completely uneasy.
How could she, who was so smart, not understand the meaning of his words?
Zhao Yixuan, am I just the daughter-in-law chosen by your mother?
And you?
So you're not?
Well, he certainly isn't.
As early as when they knew they were getting married, he honestly told her that he didn't love her. If she didn't care, he would try his best to be a responsible husband.
"Qu Si, since I've married you, I will be responsible for this marriage. I promise you that I won't have any extramarital affairs, but I can't guarantee that I will love you."
The scene of him saying this was still vivid in his mind, and Qu Si felt that he would remember it for the rest of his life.
Since she was a child, she knew how outstanding she was and how much she was loved by men. The line of men who admired and pursued her stretched from her house to the west of the city!
However, she doesn't like any of them and only likes him!
But he did not care about her love and even trampled on her love.
She should have rejected the marriage at that time, but she accepted it anyway because she knew that her parents would not allow it, and the unyielding gene in her body was also stimulating and urging her not to give up. She didn't believe that he was really so cold-blooded that he would never be moved by her for his entire life.
The more difficult it is, the more challenges we must face. From now on, conquering Zhao Yixuan and making him fall at her feet is the most important goal in Qu Si's life!
So she insisted on marrying him, even though she knew he didn't love her and even though he had never touched her since they got married.
He told her that he was not sure how long this marriage could last, and that he did not have sex with her as a respect for her and as compensation to her.
Haha, shouldn’t she be grateful to him?
"If you don't want me to go to your house, we can go out together. I will send you to your door and then I will leave." Zhao Yixuan said suddenly.
Qu Si came back from his deep thoughts, staring intently at his cold and distant handsome face, and said, "Okay!"
After a while, the two returned to the hall, said goodbye to Lan Qiuling, and walked out of the house.
Lan Qiuling watched them walk away, and the smile on her face gradually froze.
She regretted her impulsiveness and wondered if Qu Si heard those words. She thought she should have heard them. Although Qu Si appeared very calm, she was not an ordinary woman!
Lan Qiuling couldn't help but think of Su Xiao again, and her face instantly became even gloomier.
