Chapter 66 I decided to marry her when I was 20
Zhu Wendong was stunned, his breathing paused for a moment, and the conversations around him seemed to automatically silence and gradually fade away.
Perhaps Qi Yanxue just mentioned it casually as a means of revenge against her.
She shouldn't take it seriously or think too much about it.
After thinking for a moment, Zhu Wendong said solemnly, "Qi Yanxue, I think you need to think carefully about this. Marriage shouldn't be so casual."
casual?
He had decided to marry her when he was twenty years old, and it was never a casual decision.
Qi Yanxue leaned back in his chair and stared at her: "Think about it? The one you think about is never me, but you."
"Zhu Wendong, do you dare to think about it?"
Qi Yanxue spoke word by word, his eyes like a sharp knife, not allowing her to take a single step back.
Zhu Wendong avoided the gaze, pretended to be calm, drank a sip of coffee, and remained silent for a long time.
Qi Yanxue was also rare in her patience and waited, giving her enough time to think and give him an answer.
Before she could open her mouth to speak, someone suddenly came forward and spoke.
"Is it you?"
Zhu Wendong turned his head and saw Jiang Zheng, the blind date introduced by Zou Jing last time.
Zou Jing was also walking not far away.
Zou Jing glanced at him and Qi Yanxue as soon as she came up. Her keen observation allowed her to sense the stalemate and tension between the two.
Sensing something was wrong, she smiled, greeted Zhu Wendong, and then smiled awkwardly at Qi Shen.
"You guys are?"
Zhu Wendong said calmly: "Blind date."
Zou Jing: “…”
My god, my ex-boyfriend and girlfriend are having a blind date here.
Zou Jing gave a wry smile and said, "You guys continue chatting, we'll leave without interrupting you."
He took Jiang Zheng and left.
After they walked away, Jiang Zheng couldn't help but ask, "Did they know each other before?"
Zou Jing was shocked. "How do you know? Did you talk about this on your blind date before?"
Jiang Zheng shook his head: "No, it's that boy who looked at your friend with such a look that it was almost tearing, and..."
When he stepped forward to say hello just now, the boy's eyes looked as if they could stab him.
"The relationship between them is unclear and confusing, and it's probably going to be entangled for a while."
Zou Jing got in the car and looked at him: "How are you going back?"
The team had a dinner party here today. Almost everyone had left just now, and only Jiang Zheng and she were left lingeringly.
Jiang Zheng opened her passenger door and said calmly, "Please give me a ride."
It was a normal sentence, but Zou Jing noticed that Jiang Zheng's ears were unexpectedly stained with a thin layer of red.
-
After the people left, silence fell between the two again.
Finally, when a leaf fell outside the window, Zhu Wendong slowly spoke.
"Marriage is not something that can be done casually. Let's all think about it carefully."
This was the room she left for both of them, giving her time to think, and also giving Qi Yanxue a way out if she regretted it.
Qi Yanxue raised his eyelids: "I'll give you three days."
Three days is too hasty to decide a lifetime. Zhu Wendong calmly retorted, "Ten days."
Qi Yanxue calmly picked up the coffee and said, "Two days."
"..." Zhu Wendong pursed his lips and insisted, "Five days."
"I'll wait for your reply in five days." Qi Yanxue put down the coffee and walked out of the cafe with his long legs.
-
Zhu Wendong sat in the Cullinan, buried his head in the turntable, and was silent for a long time.
After a long time, he started the car and drove back to Biesong.
Surprisingly, I didn't run into Qi Yanxue again in the next two days.
He was nowhere to be seen, either in Biesong or at gatherings in the circle.
It’s not that she was deliberately avoiding it, but Qi Yanxue might have returned to her life of going out early and coming back late, and became busy again.
Even when Zhu Wendong went to Kaisong Media to submit his manuscript and met Lu Guanqi, he didn't see him.
Seeing the flash of disappointment in her eyes, Lu Guanqi looked up from his manuscript and said, "Qi Yanxue's father is back from California. He's been a bit busy lately, so you might not see him at Kaisong today."
Chairman Qi, Qi Kancheng.
She had heard about it from Qi Yanxue five years ago.
Qi Yanxue's biological mother, Zhao Liangyuan, was originally in a normal relationship with Qi Kancheng and they were almost at the age of marriage. However, due to the huge difference in their social status, the Qi family firmly opposed it.
Qi Kancheng was also forced to break up and choose an arranged marriage due to family pressure. After Mrs. Qi gave birth to the eldest son of the Qi family, Qi Kantu still had feelings for Zhao Liangyuan and could not forget her. Later, they had an affair and gave birth to Qi Yanxue.
One day, Mrs. Qi discovered their affair, and Qi Kantu once again abandoned Qi Yanxue and her son and chose the Qi family.
It was not until Qi Yanxue was five years old that he was adopted by the Qi family.
That year, Zhao Liangyuan was diagnosed with brain cancer. Before her death, she kowtowed three times and nine times before Old Man Qi before he finally agreed to recognize Qi Yanxue.
However, the Qi family is a conservative and oppressive place that places great emphasis on blood ties. They often turn a blind eye to Qi Yanxue and his family, and don't care about them. Even the nanny would gossip about him behind his back.
Qi Kantu's unrequited love for Zhao Liangyuan and his hatred for her completely transformed into disgust and dark control over Qi Yanxue.
Over the years, Qi Yanxue has been trying to break free from his almost pathological control.
Although he didn't know what the situation was like now, Zhu Wendong knew five years ago that Qi Yanxue had failed.
At that time, he was at the peak of his career and became famous at a young age. A biological company he founded independently became even more famous.
However, after Qi Kantu found out, the capital chain was broken and the company was crushed, and Qi Yanxue became depressed for a while.
Later, Qi Yanxue was arranged by him to join the group and began to live under his command with false obedience.
…
Zhu Wendong frowned and asked, "Chairman Qi has not been in the country these years?"
Lu Guanqi lowered his head to read the manuscript without turning his head: "Yes, I am, but I am only here a few days a year. But this time I may stay longer."
When this was mentioned, Lu Guanqi suddenly supported his chin, fell into thought, and muttered to himself.
"I wonder if Qi Yanxue will be put in solitary confinement when he comes back this time. After all, Qi Yanxue has never been able to acquire Zhuyuan Hospital."
His voice was as soft as a mosquito.
Zhu Wendong didn't hear clearly, only hearing some vague words, "What confinement?"
Lu Guanqi came back to his senses and waved his hand at her awkwardly: "It's okay, I just have a habit of talking to myself. Just pretend you didn't hear it."
—
Qi family.
In the darkest corner of the basement, Qi Yanxue pushed the door open and walked out, the light shining overhead was dim and weak.
But I find it extremely annoying.
"Did he say anything?"
His voice was hoarse and low, like unpolished gravel, or like the hoarseness of someone who hadn't spoken for two days.
Butler Li stood waiting by the door and whispered, "The chairman said that if the Zhuyuan Hospital incident happens again, you'll be fired."
Qi Yanxue looked normal, not at all like someone who had been locked up for two days. Only his tired eyes and depressed expression revealed his emotions.
He curled his lips and sneered, "Why didn't he say to put me in solitary confinement for another two days?"
Butler Li lowered his head, pretending not to hear, and did not dare to say a word.
Qi Yanxue felt bored and slowly walked out of the basement. Suddenly he remembered to stop and asked without turning back.
"My brother has returned home too?"
Butler Li: "The eldest young master will return home in three days."
