Liu Xinnian was so angry that he stood up suddenly.
"You are talking nonsense! It's unreasonable!"
Chen Xingling said cheerfully, "You asked me to speak, so I'll just speak out the facts! There will never be any good results for people who destroy other people's marriages. Even if your marriage is a bad debt, it doesn't mean that the third party is the one who is wrong."
"She is so kind and so pitiful!" Liu Xinnian suddenly burst into tears and shouted, "How can you say that about her!"
Chen Xingling shrugged: "She chose the path herself, she walked the path herself, and she brought pity upon herself."
"You——" Liu Xinnian turned his head and said angrily: "Aqi! Look at your wife! Look at her! Take care of her!"
Gu Qi pushed him back and said calmly, "I am my own wife, I know what I am thinking. Brother Liu, you should take a rest."
"I won't stop!" Liu Xinnian said angrily, "Your wife is talking nonsense. Don't worry about what she does! How can you indulge her like this?"
Chen Xingling chuckled.
Gu Qi held Liu Xinnian's hand and whispered, "Alright, you are in the wrong anyway, you can't argue with my wife. Besides, she didn't say anything wrong."
Liu Xinnian stared in disbelief, and shouted angrily: "Aqi! You - you are a jerk who forgets friends for the sake of beauty! Your wife is talking nonsense, and you are still protecting her!"
"Of course." Gu Qi smiled calmly, "She is my wife. If I don't protect her, who should I protect? I forget my friends for the beauty? What about you? What are you doing now? Shouting in front of your good brother for your beloved woman? Hmm?"
Forehead?
Liu Xinnian was extremely embarrassed. He lay down sideways and turned around.
"I don't want to talk to you anymore! Go away! I don't want to listen to you anymore! It makes me feel annoyed!"
Gu Qi and Chen Xingling looked at each other and were extremely happy.
"Okay, then you take a good rest."
Gu Qi threw the quilt to him, took Chen Xingling's hand, turned off the lights and went upstairs.
Chen Xingling was a little worried, so he asked, "Don't you need to...stay and look after me?"
"I'll come down and check on him later." Gu Qi explained, "He has already drunk the hangover soup and hasn't vomited anything. He's just not conscious right now, so there's no need to worry too much."
The two went upstairs hand in hand, looking like newlyweds after a long separation, their eyes almost sweet.
Chen Xingling couldn't help but ask curiously: "Who is that Liu Qing'er? What does she look like?"
Gu Qi thought hard and described him truthfully: "He is not tall, of medium build. He is warm and polite to others, speaks softly, and is attentive and gentle."
"No wonder..." Chen Xingling asked again, "Is she pretty?"
Gu Qi frowned in embarrassment: "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Everyone has different aesthetic standards. What I think is beautiful may not be what others think."
"An objective evaluation!" Chen Xingling said coquettishly: "Are her facial features harmonious? Is her skin fair? Is she the delicate type, or the glamorous type?"
Gu Qi couldn't persuade his wife, so he could only think about it seriously.
"Her skin is fair and her facial features are quite harmonious... She doesn't look particularly pretty, but she is the type that is pleasing to the eye and gentle."
Unexpectedly, Chen Xingling said again: "No wonder!"
Gu Qi took off his coat, kicked off his slippers, and lay back comfortably on the bed.
"What's the big deal? I've already said that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and being pretty doesn't mean you'll be liked by everyone."
At least for him, he has always believed that "don't judge a book by its cover". Appearance is far less important than inner qualities, because beauty is fleeting, and an interesting soul has greater charm.
"Hey!" Chen Xingling also climbed onto the bed and fell on his belly. "That's not the case. Beautiful people or things will always be liked by more people. If the facial features are beautiful and meet the public aesthetic standards, there will definitely be a lot of people who like them - such as Nishang."
Gu Qi narrowed his eyes and gently stroked her long hair.
"Brother Liu is not a superficial person and will not judge people by appearance."
Chen Xingling shook his head: "That's not what I meant. Liu Qing'er may be prettier than Guo Jiayue, but she is definitely not the kind of beauty that can topple a country or a city, otherwise it would have spread long ago, and why is she unknown in the factory? You just said that she is gentle and considerate, and that she is polite and enthusiastic. It is obvious that she has these qualities that Guo Jiayue does not have, otherwise she would not have attracted Brother Liu."
"Oh." Gu Qi murmured, "Maybe."
Chen Xingling analyzed: "People, if they already have something, they won't bother to have it. If they find that they lack something, they will unconsciously pay attention to it, or even yearn for it. This is probably the reason why Liu Qing'er can attract Brother Liu."
Gu Qi had a very vague idea of Liu Qing'er's feelings, but he just couldn't bear to see his good brother feeling sorry for himself.
"If Brother Liu is already divorced, there is no need to be too cautious. If you really can't let go, then pursue it bravely. What's the point of secretly complaining and regretting it?"
The instinct of a science and engineering man is that as long as there is a chance, you can't give up, unless it really doesn't work. Anyway, I like it, so why not pursue it to the end!
Chen Xingling nodded: "Now that we're divorced, I can pursue my love freely."
Gu Qi closed his eyes and chuckled unconsciously.
"Xing'er, Brother Liu... you scolded him so badly. He has been with Lao Guo since he left the mountain gate, and he is his most proud student. Others have always given him some face for Lao Guo's sake. Later, he was doing very well in the factory, and many people knew that he would be Lao Guo's successor in the future, so they all treated him with great respect. In all these years, you may be the first person who dared to scold him to his face."
"Oh." Chen Xingling patted his chest lazily and said, "No wonder he is so angry even when he is drunk."
The two looked at each other and burst into laughter.
Chen Xingling teased his chin and asked, "Am I good at talking back? Am I right?"
"That's right." Gu Qi answered in a low and hoarse voice.
Seeing him staring at her with burning eyes, which were full of hints of love, Chen Xingling quickly covered his thin lips.
"No, no, no, these few days are dangerous."
Gu Qi took a deep breath, held her hand, and gently bit the back of her hand.
"So what are you doing to seduce me? Huh?"
Chen Xingling didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and explained innocently: "I just touched your chin, I wanted to be more affectionate with you for a while!"
Gu Qi glanced at her with resentment in his eyes, then turned sideways.
"No, you better stay away from me for the next two days. Don't make me challenge my endurance all the time."
Chen Xingling giggled: "Why? You have so little confidence in yourself? In just over half a month, you can't keep your cool? You went abroad for more than two years, and it's been almost a year since you came back. There was such a long gap in between, how did you get through it? Compared with more than three years, half a month is nothing."
"You don't understand." Gu Qi closed his eyes, his breathing had almost calmed down, and he said in a calm voice: "Try not to think about some things. Focus your whole body and mind on study and work, and slowly you won't think about them. Self-control is also one of the abilities, and it is indispensable."
Chen Xingling kissed his hair and asked, "Girls abroad are more passionate and unrestrained. Have any of them tried to please you in some way?"
With my husband's looks, if he were to relax a little, he would be more than qualified to be a sea king.
My wife has not been around for several years. The sky is high and the emperor is far away. It takes complete self-discipline and self-restraint to rely on her.
Gu Qi nodded: "Yes, but I pretended not to understand and walked away. There are other situations. I said that I already have a lover in China, and the other party heard that I was rejecting him politely, so he was too embarrassed to say anything."
"How did they hint to you?" Chen Xingling suddenly became very curious.
Gu Qi was not interested at all and whispered, "Forgot."
"You're lying!" Chen Xingling said coquettishly, "You have such a good memory. You remember everything we said more than ten years ago. How is it possible that you have forgotten something that happened two or three years ago?"
Gu Qi smiled dotingly and explained, "I will only remember important things. Why should I remember some unimportant things? Will it add burden to my head? I don't have this special habit."
"What did he say?" Chen Xingling asked, "Will he directly invite you out on a date? Or will he flirt with you and find a chance to be alone with you, and then touch you all over—"
"Impossible." Gu Qi interrupted her, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, "I don't like to interact with people I'm not close to. You know that."
