Chapter 82 Being Favored
During this meal, Yan Yi's flawless performance made Bai He think that all his previous disputes with Qi Lang were just jokes, and he had really let it go.
Just hearing the word "brother-in-law" made Qi Lang feel a chill on his back.
He poured a glass of red wine, handed it to Yan Yi, and clinked glasses with him gently.
Yan Yi said nothing and drank it all in one gulp.
This meal made e-person Jian Ni feel embarrassed and regretted joining their dinner.
Bai He's ex-boyfriend and current boyfriend were toasting and drinking together. The whole time, she lowered her head and peeled the skin off her nails without saying a word.
So, what sin did Jian Ni commit to deserve to be involved in such an epic Shura battlefield!
She decided to take the initiative to break the ice and bring up the topic: "Qi Lang, you haven't contacted us since you came back. My mom has been nagging me several times. She said she called you but you never answered. Why do you have to cut off contact with your relatives now that you're President Qi?"
"Please apologize to my aunt on my behalf," Qi Lang said. "I haven't been feeling well lately, and my mind is a bit confused. Next week, I'll find a suitable time to personally visit and apologize."
Jian Ni looked at him and found him much more mature and steady, no longer the frivolous and naughty boy he used to be.
"Okay, then please contact me in advance and I'll ask my mom to cook your favorite dishes."
Qi Lang took Bai He's hand and said, "I'll bring my girlfriend along."
Bai He looked at him, and he asked softly, "Do you want to go? Meet my aunt. She's just like my mother."
Bai He nodded: "Okay."
Jian Ni looked at the two people's clasped hands, then glanced at Yan Yi, who was sitting beside her, eating quietly and elegantly, and said, "That's perfect. I'll take my boyfriend back to meet my parents too."
When these words were spoken, Yan Yi almost choked.
Jian Ni quickly reached out to pat his back, gently calming him down: "Boyfriend, do you want to join us?"
Yan Yi frowned, put down his chopsticks and was about to refuse, but Jian Ni glared at him fiercely, as if to say, "If you still want to win, listen to me!"
The words that were on the tip of his tongue were forced back by her.
This sister is much better than Bai He's sister.
Bai He looked at them in surprise: "Yan Yi, you and Sister Jian Ni..."
Qi Lang laughed and interrupted, "How is that possible? Even if the sun hits Pluto, it's impossible for you two to do that."
"Everything is possible." Jian Ni confidently took Yan Yi's arm, "We just confirmed our relationship this afternoon. I took the initiative to confess my feelings to Doctor Yan, and he didn't refuse. He said we could try to get along."
Qi Lang looked at the silent man opposite him. Maybe he could deceive others, and Bai He, but he couldn't deceive him.
He knows his rival better than anyone else...
"It's impossible for him to be with you unless he's possessed by someone else." Qi Lang said firmly, "Whatever conspiracy you have, I advise you to give up. Xiao Baihe and I will never be separated again."
Jian Ni didn't respond to this, but it annoyed Yan Yi.
He slowly raised his black eyes and confronted Qi Lang. Their eyes met in a flash, and sparks crackled.
Yan Yi suddenly said, "Maybe, you are the one who should be called brother-in-law."
As soon as these words were spoken, Bai He clenched his hands.
Jian Ni suddenly became excited and laughed arrogantly: "Yes, stinky Xiaoqi, call me brother-in-law!"
Qi Lang leaned back in his chair, playing with the red wine glass with his fingertips, and said leisurely: "The age difference is too big! You are almost thirty, and he is only a little older, my sister."
"So what? Yan Yi doesn't mind. Do you mind if it's your turn to help him here?"
Qi Lang stared at Yan Yi with his dark eyes. Yan Yi lowered his head to drink without saying a word.
Bai He silently drank the wine in his glass, raised his head, and said in a slightly hoarse voice, "Congratulations, Ah Yi."
Yan Yi was a little drunk. He raised his slightly broken black eyes and looked at her: "Are you congratulating me? Or do you feel relieved?"
Bai He did not feel relieved. Instead, he felt like he had swallowed a mouthful of slightly tough rice, which was stuck in his esophagus and could neither go up nor down.
"I...of course I have to congratulate you. You finally have a new sister who loves you."
Qi Lang frowned calmly.
What I said...I can't hide my jealousy anymore.
Yan Yi picked up his wine glass and touched it to Bai He's: "You can finally unload your burden. I will be very happy in the future. Your mission is also completed. You don't have to feel sorry for my father for not taking good care of me."
Seeing that he actually mentioned Uncle Yan, Bai He immediately said, "I take care of you, partly because of Uncle Yan, but I also consider you as a family member. There is no such thing as unloading burdens between family members."
"Didn't you feel relieved when we broke up?" Yan Yi, under the influence of alcohol, kept insisting, "Stop pretending, Bai He. Is it so hard to admit that you never liked me?"
Bai He took a sip of the wine in her glass, raised her slightly red eyes, and looked at him: "Back then, who was it that made the mistake again and again! Now you want to blame me?"
"I've let it go, Bai He."
"I hope you've truly let it go."
"What else can I do?" Yan Yi's eyes were bloodshot, and he stared at her fiercely. "Remember this, I don't love you anymore. I'm such a good person, well-educated, smart, good-looking, and good at making money. There shouldn't be too many people chasing after me. Do I have to stick to you, pester you, and chase you? Don't take yourself too seriously. My world is no longer just about you. I've had eight or ten girlfriends in the United States, a new one every night. Who the hell do you think you are!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a glass of red wine was splashed on his face.
Qi Lang held an empty wine glass in his hand, his face gloomy: "Enough is enough, shut up."
Yan Yi didn't want to endure it anymore, so he picked up the wine glass and wanted to toast him back, but the next second, Jian Ni quickly grabbed him.
At the same time, Bai He also grabbed Qi Lang.
"That's enough!" Jian Ni used her elder sister's aura to intimidate the two younger brothers in front of her. "If you don't want to be on the entertainment gossip headlines tomorrow morning, you two, no, you three, please shut up!"
Qi Lang suppressed his anger and looked away.
Yan Yi couldn't finish the meal, so he stood up and said, "Let's go."
Jian Ni chased him away.
Bai He followed the two figures as they gradually disappeared into the corridor, until Qi Lang forcibly twisted her jaw, his dark eyes locked with hers, his voice slightly deep: "Bai He, stay with me, and don't look at him."
Bai He felt a pang of grief in his heart.
Once upon a time, Yan Yi said the same thing.
"Sister, please stay with me and don't look at him."
Bai He took a deep breath, suppressed the bitterness in her heart, and said to him calmly, "Let's eat."
Qi Lang looked at her with his deep eyes.
The tacit understanding between childhood sweethearts is beyond the reach of ordinary people. It is impossible for him to hide the slightest emotion that flashed in her eyes.
But he didn't want to expose her, so he just silently picked up some food for her and clinked glasses with her.
"Drink less, Xiaoqi." She watched him finish half a bottle of red wine and warned him, "You can't drink much."
"I'm very happy today," Qi Lang said. "Everything goes as planned. My dream has come true. I want to drink some."
"Then I'll accompany you."
…
Yan Yi sat alone on the reef, holding a can of beer in his hand. The sea breeze blew up the boy's hair, revealing his smooth and full forehead. His black eyes were hidden under his deep brow bones, reflecting the dim fishing lights on the opposite bank.
The feeling he gave to Jane Ni had never changed from the first time they met until now.
Jian Ni always felt that although he was young, he was more mature and more worthy of trust and reliance than most of the men around her.
What really attracted her was not his looks or temperament, but his wholehearted love for her.
The world is changing every second, and people's hearts are even more unpredictable. Jane Ni has experienced her boyfriend's betrayal. No matter how unbreakable the vows made during the honeymoon period, they cannot withstand the passage of time...
Yan Yi's surging love... was unbreakable and shook her deeply.
What a great happiness it would be to have his love.
Unfortunately, the one who is favored is always fearless.
Jane Ni came over, held up her skirt and sat next to him. The sea breeze blew her skirt fluttering. She opened a can of beer and handed it to him, clinking glasses with him.
"You blame me for not discussing it with you and saying you're my boyfriend?"
Yan Yi shook his head, staring at the bay, and said lightly: "It's nothing. Qi Lang doesn't believe it anyway."
"It doesn't matter whether Qi Lang believes it or not, someone does believe it."
Yan Yi raised his head and took a sip of beer, then looked at Jian Ni: "Do you think she felt relieved?"
"I think... she's not as calm as she used to be." Jian Ni said, "Actually, if you want to pursue her, your chances of success are pretty good."
"You mean she doesn't like Qi Lang that much anymore?"
"Don't even mention her. My first love, Bai Yueguang, survived a near-death experience and crawled back from hell. Who the hell could stand this? If it were me, I would agree too. Once she calms down and sees her own heart clearly, she'll regret it."
Yan Yi said self-deprecatingly, "When she called me the moment she encountered danger in Gangcheng, hope was kindled in my heart. Until later... when Qi Lang became like that, it was heartbreaking for me, not to mention her. She was about to burst into tears. That's when I knew it was over. He was going to win this round again."
Jian Ni sighed: "Yan Yi..."
"Sometimes, I would even rather she be a little more unfaithful. I'd even say, a little less loyal. That way, at least after she gets tired of her white moonlight, I still have a chance to become her lover."
"What you said... you have no respect at all."
"When I was eighteen, I had a very naive and immature thought: if she committed a crime, I could go to jail for her, or even die for her. I had no morals, no respect, I only wanted her..."
It was like this at eighteen, and it is still like this at twenty-five.
Jian Ni gulped down the beer in her cup and exhaled, "I thought, if possible, I could make our fake play real, get you drunk, push you onto the bed, and then get involved with you. But now it seems that this behavior is tantamount to digging my own grave. You will just run towards her without hesitation."
Yan Yi tilted his head and glanced at her: "Sorry, I already have a sister."
These words are exactly the same as what he said when he was eighteen years old.
Yes, verbal translation is verbal translation.
It will never change.
"Xiao Yanyi, if you still want to fight, just do as I say. Don't make any sacrifices or let go. You must fight, don't be afraid of hurting her. Only when she cries for you all night long will she cherish you. Because happiness can never outweigh pain."
"How do we do that?"
Jian Ni took out her cell phone, took a selfie with her head resting on Yan Yi's shoulder, and sent it to her Moments, visible only to Bai He.
This time, Yan Yi did not refuse.
…
Bai He's head was numb as she let the shower head rush over her. She leaned against the glass and closed her eyes. The dull pain in her heart spread to the surface of her skin.
She wanted to wash away the discomfort and rubbed her body vigorously with a bath ball.
She thought of the little ant, the boy who watched the ants under the big tree...
"Ants have homes, why don't I have one?"
"You have it, from now on my parents are your parents, my home is your home!"
"Nonsense, that's not the case!"
Yan Yi pushed her to the ground, and at that moment, she read the regret in his eyes.
He is always like this.
Regret after acting impulsively.
Later, Yan Yi gradually learned to control himself, no longer indulging in desires, and even suppressed them...
Her mind was in a mess, and she kept thinking about every little detail of her growth over the years. There were even a few times, late at night, when he thought she was asleep.
She heard his rapid breathing coming from the room next to her...
The heart rate will also increase.
Bai He couldn't help thinking about these things.
It's all over. Yan Yi has happiness, and so does she.
This is the best ending.
Qi Lang's silhouette appeared beside the Changhong glass door. He called her softly, "Little Lily."
"Ah?" She immediately regained her senses, cleared her mind of all the messy things, and turned off the shower.
"You've been washing for a long time."
"Oh, I'm done." She looked at the dark outline at the door. "Don't stand there like a Peeping Tom."
"I want to be closer to you."
"Seventh Master, do you have to be so clingy?"
"Seventh Master is what people outside call me. I'm just your Little Seven."
"well."
Bai He wiped her wet long hair and walked out of the bathroom with a hot mist on her body. Qi Lang's arms welcomed her, picked her up and laid her on the soft bed. His feet were unstable and he fell on her.
"Ah!" Bai He was pressed on the chest by him, and it hurt terribly, "Qi Lang!!! Can you please stand still!"
"Look, Xiao Qi can't even hold you... anymore."
Bai He sat up and checked his legs worriedly: "Is your leg okay?"
"It's okay, I want to hug you."
"The doctor said you can't put any pressure on your legs, or even stand for too long."
"What a waste."
Bai He didn't want to see him frustrated, so she simply put her arms around the man's neck and coaxed him, "It's okay to hug him like this."
"I don't want to be hugged like this, I want to be hugged like this..."
He laid his legs flat, held the little girl, and sat her on him.
"Well."
The posture is too criminal.
The two looked at each other, Qi Lang held her lips, gently grinding...
However, Bai He still did not respond to him.
Since when did kissing him become something that required patience? Qi Lang felt a surge of resentment in his heart, and he bit her harder, prying open her teeth as if he wanted to devour her.
She could only cope with it, a thin plea leaking out from between her teeth: "Xiao Qi..."
Qi Lang suppressed the surging emotions, stepped on the brakes, and stared at her with wet eyes.
In the end... I still can't bear it.
He didn't know how to treat her. He couldn't treat her too seriously, nor too lightly. Even if he gave her his heart, she didn't seem to care so much anymore.
What should I do? What should I do?
He restrained his sharp and violent temper and gently kissed her forehead and cheeks, making her feel safe...
"It's okay, Sayuri. Don't be afraid of me."
Bai He nodded slightly, and as a reward for being obedient, she kissed him lightly on the cheek.
Just with this, Qi Lang was satisfied.
"You see, I'm easy to coax."
"Um?"
"It will be easy to be with me." He stroked her soft, silky hair over and over again, "Please, choose me."
"I have chosen, Qi Lang."
Qi Lang never tired of sticking to her, being affectionate towards her, and whispering sweet words in her ears that made her blush and her heart beat faster.
Don't regret, don't...
Until Bai He yawned and felt sleepy.
Qi Lang reached out and took her phone from the bedside cabinet: "A surprise inspection, is that okay?"
"Whatever." Bai He seemed very calm, not caring about him looking at her phone. "You know the password."
Qi Lang swiped the screen, and Bai He immediately said, "In exchange, I also want to see your phone, otherwise it wouldn't be fair."
Qi Lang handed her his phone: "Feel free to look at it, your Xiaoqi is clean."
Bai He turned over and flipped through the photos in his phone, trying to see if there were any travel photos or the like.
Unexpectedly, his phone album was filled with screenshots of her daily selfies, or some of her daily life content...
Boring.
Qi Lang didn't look through her photo album. He was more direct and clicked into WeChat. He first checked the chat history between her and Yan Yi. There was nothing unusual, so he checked the chat history between her and Fu Siwei.
That boy Fu Siwei was secretly trying to flirt with her.
But she didn't accept the challenge, which seemed to indicate that she was not interested in him.
He flipped through the chat history and casually clicked into the Moments. He scrolled down a few posts and coincidentally saw the Moments post that Jian Ni had posted in which she and Yan Yi officially announced their love.
“…”
He knew that Yan Yi and Jian Ni couldn't possibly be together, and it was obvious that they were playing a double game.
It's clear what An's intention is.
He glanced at Bai He who was concentrating on playing with her phone, and calmly blocked Jian Ni's circle of friends on her WeChat.
After putting the phone back on the bedside to charge, Qi Lang kissed her forehead, said good night, and went back to his room.
After closing the door, he sent a message to Jian Ni:
7: "Whose sister are you? [Smile]"
Jenny: “…”
Jenny: "Damn, you're keeping such a close eye on your girlfriend."
7: "He has the guts to come over and rob it openly. You help him with these little tricks. Is that interesting?"
Jenny: "It's interesting. Very interesting."
7: "I'm warning you, if you do this again, I will kill everyone I meet with."
After a long time, Jian Ni finally replied, "Xiao Qi, are you scared?"
Qi Lang put down his phone unhappily.
…
In the middle of the night, Yan Yi returned to the villa drunk and saw a man sitting on the sofa.
His dark silhouette looked cold and gloomy against the moonlight.
Yan Yi didn't even look at him, changed his shoes and went into the house. Qi Lang stood up and poured him a glass of sweet glucose water: "It's for hangover."
Yan Yi took the cup and drank it obediently.
"She has already promised me, do you still want to fight for it?" Qi Lang turned on the light of the island counter. The ceiling light covered the figures of the two people, casting a black shadow on the ground.
"Back when she was my girlfriend, someone also did a lot of little things in secret." Yan Yi leaned against the counter and put down his glass with a little force. "Now I'm just acting casually with your sister, and you can't sit still?"
“At the beginning, I quit.”
"Because you know you don't stand a chance."
"I didn't have a chance because of you. You hid my love letter. Otherwise, I would have been with her a long time ago." Qi Lang looked at him fiercely and lowered his voice, "Yan Yi, don't you think you are very despicable?"
"There's no shame in me fighting for the woman I want."
"But she doesn't love you."
"She didn't love me then, but what about now?"
Yan Yi walked up to him and confronted him from a distance, "You know her so well, don't you see that she pities you too much and loves you too much..."
He lowered his eyes and looked at his left leg. "If I hadn't gone through this, I don't know if she would have chosen you or me."
After saying that, Yan Yi put down his cup, turned around and left. Qi Lang suddenly grabbed his collar and pressed him heavily against the refrigerator.
"That's just wishful thinking on your part."
Yan Yi pulled his arm over, pressed it against the refrigerator, and pressed his face hard. "Are you going to hit me just because I hurt you? Before I treated your leg, I told you to stand up and compete fairly. No one should play the victim."
"I'm not playing the victim!"
With a loud "bang", the little fox refrigerator magnet that Bai He bought fell to the ground and broke into two pieces.
The two stopped fighting, finally calmed down, and looked at each other.
Qi Lang straightened his collar and picked up the refrigerator magnet that had been broken into two pieces: "You broke it."
Translation: "It's obviously you."
