Qin Shu laughed and refuted Xie Lanzhi's words: "No way, I'm so happy that you're here."
Apart from the slightly red eyes, there was no sign that she had cried.
However, the smile did not reach his eyes and the curve of his lips seemed a little stiff.
The forced mask Qin Shu put on made Xie Lanzhi feel an indescribable pain that rolled up from the bottom of his heart and surged to his throat, making him feel uncomfortable and unable to get out or go out.
Xie Lanzhi's jade-like knuckles caressed the corners of Qin Shu's eyes, and his gentle voice was full of pity and comfort.
"Ah Shu, stop laughing. I will always be there with you to face it."
Once these words were spoken, the window paper between the two of them was completely broken.
Qin Shu's butterfly-like eyelashes trembled slightly, and she lowered her eyes slightly, and asked in a light tone,
"Mrs. Governor Chris, how is the black crystal ball you gave me?"
She indeed stopped smiling. Her expressionless face and suddenly distant attitude all expressed her awkward resistance.
"It broke. It broke for no apparent reason." Xie Lanzhi rubbed his fingertips and replied softly.
He carefully felt the wetness on his fingertips, which were the traces of Qin Shu's tears lingering in the corners of her eyes.
Qin Shu's lips curled up slowly: "I guessed it was like this."
She seemed to be relieved, and as if she had let go of something heavy that she had been carrying.
"Xie Lanzhi, go back after you finish your noodles. I don't need your pity."
"Since you know what happened to me in my past life, you should know that I have no loyalty to marriage."
"I have been using you all along, using the Xie family as a backer for Kanggan Pharmaceutical, and using the power of the Xie family to seek revenge..."
Qin Shu kneaded the dough in the basin very carefully into shape, then covered it with a wet cloth to allow the gluten to relax and rise. This way the hand-rolled noodles would taste better.
She hadn't cooked for Xie Lanzhi for a long time.
I wonder if Xie Lanzhi, who is used to eating delicacies from land and sea, can get used to the food she cooks.
Xie Lanzhi's dark eyes were filled with anger as he stared at Qin Shu's every move, and he was rarely angry.
He grasped Qin Shu's wrist and pulled her into his arms, his gentle and cold voice brewing danger.
"Ah Shu, there are some things you don't need to say so bluntly. I already knew that your heart is made of stone."
Qin Shu threw herself into Xie Lanzhi's arms and swallowed nervously.
Although Xie Lanzhi was telling the truth and his voice was so gentle, Qin Shu's heart was inexplicably ached.
She didn't dare to look at the man's face, and said stubbornly: "It's good that you know it. I don't need your pity. After eating the noodles, you can go back to Beijing."
Xie Lanzhi's cold eyes looked at Qin Shu, whose hard shell had long been pried open, revealing her soft side.
His eyes were as dark as ink, but his voice was steady and soothing: "Okay, I'll leave before dark."
Xie Lanzhi didn't believe that Qin Shu could deceive herself to the point that she could even fool herself.
Before coming, he might have thought that Qin Shu had no feelings for him and that they were just being polite to maintain mutual respect.
However, the moment he saw Qin Shu's tears.
Xie Lanzhi's wandering heart finally came back to reality.
Qin Shu likes him! My feelings for him are not even much less than my own.
When Qin Shu heard that Xie Lanzhi was really leaving, her hand that was being held trembled slightly, and she murmured, "It's good that he left..."
She suppressed the bitterness in her heart and pretended to be generous, which made Xie Lanzhi laugh.
"You have a really tough mouth!"
The man's slightly cold fingers clamped Qin Shu's jaw, and Qin Shu was forced to raise her head.
Xie Lanzhi looked at Qin Shu, the smile in his eyes deepening: "Do I really not let you trust me?"
Without waiting for Qin Shu to speak, he continued, "Ah Shu, I am your man, we have been married for nine years and have been together for nearly ten years!
Apart from each other's parents, we are the closest and most trustworthy people in the world! Why can't you trust me more? ”
Qin Shu subconsciously retorted: "I didn't..."
"You have!" Xie Lanzhi said in a deep voice: "What should I do if something happens to you? What about our child?
Have you ever thought about how I am going to live without you by my side in the long rest of my life? ! ”
Qin Shu had never thought about this question, and said jokingly: "You are the prince of the noble Xie family. You can get whatever you want, and now you are the highest authority in China. People often say that the three greatest joys for men are promotion, wealth, and the death of his wife..."
"Ah Shu! I'm not kidding you!"
Xie Lanzhi's face turned as dark as an iron pot, and he interrupted angrily.
Qin Shu avoided the man's angry eyes and stared at the water tank in the corner of the kitchen.
Xie Lanzhi raised her chin forcefully: "Ah Shu, don't be so stubborn and don't refute me.
Things have come to this point, there are no secrets between us anymore, so let's face it together, okay? ”
He seemed to compromise and began to adopt a conciliatory policy, with a hint of temptation in his words.
Qin Shu did not dodge this time, and met the man's affectionate, gentle and distressed eyes.
"How can you face it? Will you give up your power and live with me in this remote village?"
It’s not that she doesn’t trust Xie Lanzhi.
Xie Lanzhi, who grew up in a powerful family, has his own aspirations and ambitions.
Qin Shu never expected Xie Lanzhi to give up his high position for her.
Xie Lanzhi was silent for a moment, then said firmly: "We will avenge our enemies together, and bear the difficulties together. I will not let you face it alone."
He did not give a final guarantee, but he had already made up his mind.
Qin Shu smiled suddenly, the smile reaching her eyes, and she gazed at Xie Lanzhi tenderly.
"I am indeed happy to hear your words, but don't forget your position. You have only been in office for more than a year. For the next ten years or so, you will be in control of the overall situation and have the privilege of giving orders. We are destined to... go our separate ways."
She chose to go separate ways instead of facing the separation and death that she would face in the future.
Qin Shu looked at Xie Lanzhi's shirt, whose buttons were out of place, and realized how hurriedly this man came.
Her heart softened, she felt sour and bitter, and she couldn't suppress the emotion.
Qin Shu raised her hand to unbutton the man's shirt, putting them back in place, just like her predetermined destiny.
Qin Shu opened her red lips and continued, "The Xie family is one of the top families in China and has absolute say, so our children will have the greatest confidence.
Even for the sake of our children, you should not do irrational things. We should look at the long-term. ”
Xie Lanzhi was so angry that he laughed: "You mean, I am greedy for power and I am willing to give up you for it?"
Qin Shu was stunned for a moment. Xie Lanzhi's words were too frank and sharp.
As soon as Xie Lanzhi saw Qin Shu's expression, he knew that she really thought so, and his tone couldn't help but be a little annoyed.
"Ah Shu, you can be really cruel sometimes."
"You even considered the future of several children, but ignored me."
"In my life, power is indeed fascinating, but it is not as important as you and your children."
