Chapter 99 Can You Be More Restrained?
The next day, when Zhu Wendong woke up, it was already afternoon, and there was still only one person and one dog left at home.
She forced herself to stand in front of the mirror with her sore body, lifted her collar, and saw a dense carpet of kiss marks. She knew without a doubt that the pain must have been heavier under her legs.
The one from a few days ago hadn't subsided yet, and Qi Yanxue had put on a new one.
Fortunately, they were all in places that could be covered by clothes, otherwise she would have to apply ten layers of concealer when going out to meet people.
After Zhu Wendong finished washing up, she ate the food prepared by Qi Yanxue, and remembered that a few days ago Qiao Shizhu said that Chen Zhou wanted to treat her to an apology meal, and it happened to be tonight.
She almost forgot about it. Now it was afternoon, and it was just the right time to rush over.
The place they had agreed to meet was a very confidential restaurant. When she arrived at the private room, Qiao Shizhu and Chen Zhou were already sitting inside.
Zhu Wendong sat down next to Qiao Shizhu, hung his bag on the back of the chair, and said apologetically, "Am I late?"
"No, no, we came early." Chen Zhou hurriedly explained on the opposite side. After he took off his ancient costume, he had a refreshing and sunny face, with his hair hanging in front of his eyebrows, and his puppy eyes were watery when he looked at everyone.
Zhu Wendong was a little shocked that he could have a secret crush on someone with such a face.
Chen Zhou blinked, and his words became more serious: "I'm really sorry about what happened last time. I didn't expect those marketing accounts to be so distorted and involve you. I'm sorry."
"It's okay, it's not a big deal." Zhu Wendong said gently.
Qiao Shizhu brushed her slightly curly hair, not liking this kind of formality, and interrupted, "Alright, alright, I've apologized, stop being polite, and let's eat."
Zhu Wendong and Shen Zhou had no objections and had finished half of the meal.
Chen Zhou chatted with her in a very familiar manner, "I saw the trending searches for your autograph session. Many fans praised it for being well organized, the organizers for being so helpful, and you for being so gentle."
"Ah, thank you."
Qiao Shizhu couldn't help but ask, "Have any fans asked you who you're going to marry?"
This made Chen Zhou dissatisfied, "Book fans are very polite and never ask about this kind of things."
"It's hard to say. Just go and check Weibo, it's all trending." Qiao Shizhu said cryptically.
Chen Zhou: “?”
Chen Zhou didn't believe it, so he quickly took out his phone and opened Weibo. He stared at the screen for a long time, then said, "Hey, big man... your marriage partner is the new chairman of the Qi Group, Qi Yanxue?"
Now it was Zhu Wendong's turn to be confused. She quickly opened her phone and found that the first four trending searches on Weibo showed:
#Qi Group's new director Qi Yanxue#
#The writer Xue Yanqi is marrying Qi Yanxue#
#Xueyanqi is Qi Yanxue#
This matter, which she had originally kept hidden in her heart, became known to everyone.
Zhu Wendong was stunned for half a second, then clicked on the first post. The most popular one was a video of a press conference.
The man in the video is wearing a straight black suit, his shirt buttoned up to the top, fitting perfectly, with cold eyebrows, sharp facial features, and an aggressive look.
He stood on the stage, answering questions from the public with a serious expression.
The first few questions were all normal, until the very end when someone in the audience asked, "Mr. Qi is wearing a ring. Are you married?"
A smile appeared on Qi Yanxue's indifferent face. "Yes, I'm married."
There was no problem at all with the entire video. Zhu Wendong was still a little confused as to how it connected her to him.
Qiao Shizhu, who had been eating the whole thing, reminded him, "This video got posted online. Because Qi Yanxue is a group director at such a young age and has some good looks, he became quite popular. Then your fans noticed something was wrong and besieged his Weibo account. In the end, your CEO Qi directly admitted it."
Qiao Shizhu pointed at her phone and said, "Exit the entry and search for Qi Yanxue's Weibo."
Zhu Wendong did as he was told, and then he saw Qi Yanxue's Weibo account. There was only one post in total, and that one was posted an hour ago. The content was -
@Qi: Yes, I am her marriage partner.
I didn't expect that what Qi Yanxue said could be made public was this kind of public.
Zhu Wendong was a little surprised.
Chen Zhou spoke at the right moment: "Don't tell me, Qi Yanxue's looks are indeed worthy of you."
Qiao Shizhu glanced at him and said, "You should worry about your own affairs first. If you are still reluctant to confess your feelings, don't let her run away with someone else."
Chen Zhou immediately wilted, "If I dared to confess, I would have done so long ago. Why would you tell me? I will definitely confess when I win the Best Actor award!"
"Then I guess you'll have to endure for another three or four years." Qiao Shizhu suddenly added.
"..." Chen Zhou said unhappily, "Qiao Shizhu, stop worrying about other people's business. You haven't even sorted out your own affairs with Qi Suixun yet, so why bother me?"
"Wait, Qi Suixun and Qi Yanxue both have the surname Qi." Chen Zhou doubted himself for a moment and said in disbelief, "Could there be any connection between the two?"
Zhu Wendong had just finished sending a message to Qi Yanxue. He looked up from his phone, exchanged glances with Qiao Shizhu, and remained silent.
Chen Zhou understood immediately: "You two are good, you can also eat together."
Qiao Shizhu waved her hands awkwardly: "Don't talk nonsense if there's nothing to say about it."
Just as he finished speaking, the door of the private room was opened.
Zhu Wendong turned his head to look, and a smile instantly appeared in his almond-shaped eyes.
The man walked in and looked around. Finally, he naturally sat down next to Zhu Wendong and asked calmly, "Have you finished eating?"
"I'm done eating." Zhu Wendong checked the time. It had only been five minutes since he sent the message. "You came so quickly?"
"There's a police station nearby," Qi Yanxue grabbed the bag from behind her chair, took it in his hand, and looked at her with dark eyes: "Shall we go?"
"Wait a moment."
Zhu Wendong turned his gaze to the other two people in the private room. One of them looked up at the sky, and the other looked down at the ground, trying to avoid suspicion.
"I'm...leaving."
Qiao Shizhu smiled meaningfully: "Let's go, don't worry about us."
Qi Yanxue nodded to them as a greeting, then walked out of the private room holding Zhu Wendong's hand.
Suddenly, there were only two people left in the private room.
Chen Zhou poked the white rice in his bowl and said pitifully, "Qiao, we are the only two single dogs left to depend on each other."
"Who says being single is bad? Being single is pretty good." Qiao Shizhu looked nonchalant, stood up, picked up a piece of vegetable, put it in the bowl, and was about to put it in her mouth.
The door to the private room opened again.
Then Qiao Shizhu saw Qi Suixun's calm and clear face.
At the same time, Chen Zhou silently lowered his head and took a bite of his rice. Alas, it seemed that he was the only one left today.
-
Over here, Zhu Wendong was being led out by Qi Yanxue. She turned her head and said, "I saw the trending search."
Qi Yanxue raised her eyebrows slightly, "Yes, I know you saw it."
"How do you know?"
"Guessed." Qi Yanxue's voice was very light.
After a moment of silence, he suddenly blurted out, "I am capable enough to protect Chuchu."
Zhu Wendong didn't react for a moment and his expression became a little confused. "Huh?"
Her well-behaved appearance makes people feel itchy.
Qi Yanxue pinched the soft flesh of her cheek and changed the subject, dragging out the last syllable in an unfocused tone: "I'll tell you when I get home."
Zhu Wendong's thoughts naturally wandered elsewhere. The soreness in her body hadn't subsided yet. She said dissatisfiedly, "Qi Yanxue, can you restrain yourself a little?"
They stayed up almost all night last night. Although she was the passive one, she was really tired.
