Chapter 631: Confusion (38)
Return to Zhiliao’s temporary residence.
Qiao Xi pushed the door open and walked in. There was no light on in the room, and the usual gloomy and dull atmosphere flowed here. It was a little too quiet, but Qiao Xi had long been accustomed to such an atmosphere.
She went up the stairs, moving forward in the darkness.
I groped my way to Zhi Liao's room and knocked on the door.
"Come in." A lazy voice came from behind the door. It was Zhi Liao. Qiao Xi pushed the door open and walked in, but was stunned by the scene before her.
Wrapped in oil paper.
Labeled items, like small packages, were arranged in order on the ground.
The young man, with a cigarette in his mouth, casually put away the small packages as if he had nothing to do. He didn't know what those tightly packed things were, but Qiao Xi's intuition told him that they couldn't be good things.
She was also tactful enough not to ask Zhi Liao.
Instead, she walked over the things on the ground and sat down next to the man.
The seat next to him softened and suddenly sank in. Qiao Xi had already sat down, and Zhi Liao only glanced at her without any intention of speaking.
The smell of tobacco lingered around Zhi Liao.
The smoke made him look a little unreal. Qiao Xi didn't say anything for a long time. Zhi Liao had almost finished packing the package before he looked at her.
"What are you doing here?"
Qiao Xi smiled when she heard this: "Nothing, I just miss you since I haven't seen you for a long time."
Recently, Zhi Liao would only take her watch from the bedside table after she fell asleep or took a shower, verify it, and then leave. Qiao Xi had never seen Zhi Liao when she was awake.
He seemed to be busy.
I don’t know what he is going to do, but Qiao Xi doesn’t want to know what his job content is.
"Want to do it?" Zhi Liao looked away, opened his thin lips slightly, and said indifferently.
It is true that the endless talk will shock people to death.
"How could that be? There are many people I want to do it with, not just you. Aren't you the same? You also look for women for entertainment. We can both do it together."
Qiao Xi stretched and simply lay on his bed, holding her cheeks with her hands, slowly swinging her feet and looking at the man beside the bed.
"I really just came to see you because I wanted to see you."
That's right, she just wanted to see how Zhi Liao was doing recently. She didn't smell any blood on the man, so it seemed he hadn't taken any action recently.
Some time ago.
When Zhi Liao came back one time, she noticed that he smelled a bit of blood and had the scent of a stranger on him. Also, when he went to the casino before, when he came back, he seemed to have the scent of that stranger on him as well.
Now, there is no messy aura on Zhi Liao's body.
But... there is Gan Youmeng.
Thinking of this, Qiao Xi sighed slightly. The man sitting over there didn't seem to have any intention of paying attention to her. Being ignored like this, Qiao Xi looked a little dissatisfied. She simply sat up and rubbed against Zhi Liao.
The girl's slender arms came around from behind.
Her soft body pressed close to Zhi Liao's, she hugged his neck, and rested her furry head on the man's shoulder.
Like a whisper between lovers, she asked softly in her sweet voice.
"Have you gone to see Gan Youmeng?"
The man remained calm, not seeming surprised by her question. As if stating a fact, he said calmly, "I've seen it, and I did it."
However, Qiao Xi, who was holding him, curled her lips.
"You're lying. You didn't do it at all." She could still see through this level of lies. Ordinary people might be fooled, but the aura emanating from Zhi Liao was very obvious.
There is no smell of hormones when Gan Youmeng is in love.
All we can say is that we met, but didn't do it. Or, we may have wanted to do it, but it was rejected by the other party.
Zhi Liao is someone like him who always shows his displeasure towards Gan Youmeng whenever she mentions her.
There has been no response since I mentioned it.
From this point of view, it was Gan Youmeng who took the initiative. She probably wanted to do it with Zhi Liao, but was rejected.
"Lie to you?"
The man suddenly raised his lips and smiled sarcastically. However, Qiao Xi didn't care. She said indifferently.
"But I really did it, with Yu Zhi."
The topic shifted so suddenly that Zhi Liao paused.
Originally, he had only been paying attention to Qiao Xi, but this time, he turned his gaze directly to the girl who was hugging his neck. Being stared at like this, Qiao Xi tilted her head in confusion.
Didn't seem to think there was anything wrong.
What's wrong? Is this weird? Don't you often hang out with people and date people? Her behavior is similar to yours.
so--
Why did he have such a gloomy expression, like the calm before the storm? In those deep eyes, there was a burning fire and mockery.
Are you angry?
What is there to be angry about? Just because they slept together a few times, does that mean Qiao Xi is completely his?
Sometimes being too self-righteous can end up hurting yourself.
"Okay, I won't bother you anymore. We've already met anyway. By the way, your phone just lit up. It was Gan Youmeng inviting you to go on an adventure."
Qiao Xi spoke in a relaxed tone, letting go of his neck and leaving him. Before leaving the room, she reminded Zhi Liao to pay attention to his phone.
The screen just lit up.
She accidentally glanced over and saw that Gan Youmeng sent a message to Zhi Liao, saying that they wanted to go on an adventure together or something.
I don't know what kind of adventure this is talking about.
Or maybe it's a word that only they use between themselves and understand?
Qiao Xi had no interest in seeing other people flirting, so she decisively chose to withdraw. However, before she had taken a few steps, her wrist was grabbed from behind.
Then, there was a sudden tug with force.
Qiao Xi was pulled so hard that he staggered and took several steps back before falling backwards.
There was no pain as expected.
It's not about sitting on the floor.
Zhi Liao pulled her to sit between the man's legs, with her back pressed against his chest, and the two of them became closer in temperature.
"It seems you like this kind of thing more than I thought."
A low, unspoken voice spoke hoarsely into Qiao Xi's ears. Without even a moment to react, the man's bony, slender hand wrapped around her waist and tucked into her skirt.
"Um……"
The girl's expression quickly became unnatural.
Zhi Liao was at ease and calm, like a predator teasing its prey. Qiao Xi was held from behind, so it was impossible to see his expression.
Just from this teasing that is even more intense than usual.
You can feel that he is venting his dissatisfaction in this way, but how much sincerity and anger are mixed in it is unknown.
This time the hug lasted longer than expected.
Until later——
Zhi Liao failed to reply to Gan Youmeng's message in time, and Qiao Xi also missed the call from Nan Xiangzhu on her cell phone.
How did you fall asleep?
I don't remember it anymore, but when Qiao Xi woke up again, she found that her body had been cleaned. Looking through the playback records, it was Zhi Liao who carried her drowsy body into the bathroom.
Then in the bathtub...
The time it took to come out was dragged out a lot.
The pain was like a broken piece. The wound on Qiao Xi's wrist had healed. It was left by Zhi Liao when he hurt her last time. This madman always hurt her while doing it when he went crazy.
Qiao Xi reasonably suspected that Zhi Liao had violent tendencies.
This time is no exception.
But this time, a different prop was used, and fortunately, it was the stand-in who suffered.
Otherwise, few normal people would be able to tolerate him going crazy.
Qiao Xi sighed and began to examine her body. The red marks from the whip showed no signs of fading, and the lines on her snow-white skin looked like a defective product.
Her limbs felt numb and painful, and when she woke up, it took her a while to get used to it.
No one knew where Zhi Liao had gone.
However, the suitcase containing those small packages that he placed in the room yesterday was missing. I guess he took it out.
Qiao Xi opened her cell phone with sleepy eyes.
In addition to Nan Xiangzhu's missed call, there was also a message that Zhi Liao sent her a few hours ago.
Didn't say anything.
He said that he would accompany Gan Youmeng today and would not go back, and the watch had already been taken away.
Qiao Xi was speechless.
If it were a tragic love story, the heroine would have had lifeless eyes and lay on the bed staring at the ceiling with a dull gaze, crying silently and then gritting her teeth to force a smile.
But she isn't.
After secretly cursing the bastard, Qiao Xi decisively responded and told him that she was going out with Nan Xiangzhu today.
When she had discussed it with Nan Xiangzhu before.
He also told the Xi family that he had chosen Nan Xiangzhu and finally got rid of that annoying secretary.
The Xi family also contacted the Nan family.
The people from the Nan family had known about this for a long time. After all, it was their son who said it, and they were skeptical at first. But now with the people from the Xi family coming to find them, it suddenly became true and credible.
Can establish a relationship with the Xi family.
The Nan family was naturally happy and wanted to raise their hands in approval.
Since both families have agreed on it, they will definitely spread some news. After all, they have to choose a suitable day later to hold an engagement ceremony for the two children.
Other families will get some news to a greater or lesser extent.
Qiao Xi was not worried that Zhi Liao would not be able to find out about this. After all, she had never intended to hide it from the beginning. It was a relationship of mutual benefit, so it was enough for her and Nan Xiangzhu, the person involved, to know about it.
"Finally got back."
As soon as the call was connected, Nan Xiangzhu's voice of relief came from the other end. He called Qiao Xi yesterday but her call was not answered, so he thought that maybe she had something to do and would call back if she saw her, so he did not call again.
Until now.
Finally I got a call from Qiao Xi.
"Is there something you want to talk to me about?" Qiao Xi asked directly.
"Well, Youmeng invited me to go on an adventure, saying it was to apologize for what happened last time. But... she later said she was busy and wouldn't go. So I was wondering, is she actually planning on going with someone else?"
Nan Xiangzhu's voice came from the other side.
He certainly couldn't understand why Gan Youmeng suddenly changed her mind and said she couldn't go after he had promised her last night. He had thought this was a good opportunity for the two of them to have a good talk.
But Gan Youmeng's attitude is really a bit suspicious.
That can only mean that there is someone more important than him, right?
And it was very likely that Gan Youmeng was still in contact with someone else. Yan Liang? Or someone else? Nan Xiangzhu was unsure, so he wanted to invite Qiao Xi to go there with him to see if he could run into Gan Youmeng.
"sure."
Qiao Xi on the other end of the phone agreed easily. The girl fiddled with her phone and said, "Send me the address and we'll arrange a time to meet."
"good."
Nan Xiangzhu couldn't help but smile when he saw how readily Qiao Xi accepted the offer. He had some concerns before, but now that he saw how cooperative she was, it seemed like she was genuinely sincere.
After hanging up the phone, he sent the address to Qiao Xi.
