Chapter 76 Don’t even think about being a mistress in your previous life!
Dr. Wilson is indeed worthy of his reputation, and Jiang Yuqing's money was not wasted. After surgical repair and scientific rehabilitation training, Qi Yan can feel that the function of his hand has recovered much better than before.
With time, even if it cannot return to its original state, it may not be as bad as it is now.
In order to accommodate Jiang Yuqing's schedule, they did not stay abroad for too long. Qi Yan had some opinions about a man who was a pregnant woman but had to fly back and forth between the country and abroad from time to time: "With such a heavy workload and such a tight daily schedule, are you really okay with your health?"
"Of course it's no problem. Didn't you go to the hospital together?" Jiang Yuqing said calmly, "I've told Grandpa that after solving this big project, my workload will be temporarily reduced. A pregnant man cannot overwork himself, unless he doesn't want future great-grandchildren."
Although the Jiang family is a large family, the grandfather, as the head of the family, has always doted on his youngest son, Jiang Yuqing's father. Back then, he even wanted him to manage some family affairs, but he was obsessed with art and had no interest in anything related to the Jiang family. He plunged headfirst into the ocean of art.
It is impossible for the youngest son to come back and take care of these things now, but the grandson has expressed interest, so Grandpa Jiang naturally wants to train him well.
"If we complete this project, it will indeed shut up a lot of people." Qi Yan helped him share a lot of things, and he knew very well that the project that Jiang Yuqing was talking about, the cooperation between the Jiang and Chen families, was indeed extraordinary.
"Yes, although I have a lot of complaints about the person in charge, since this is work related, I won't talk about personal matters." Jiang Yuqing curled his lips, feeling a little resentful, "I guess he already knows that you are not only my secretary now, but also my 'lover'. If Chen Xiliu was a little more normal, he wouldn't be so presumptuous as before."
“…”
"Why don't you speak?" Jiang Yuqing turned to look at him. Why was the person involved living like an outsider? The person who was ridiculed at the beginning was Qi Yan.
Qi Yan came back to his senses and smiled: "Oh, I don't have any objection."
"No objection? I think it's too much to belittle people and give them a cold shoulder in public," Jiang Yuqing said.
"It's just a small matter." Qi Yan has experienced a lot in his short twenty years of life and has thought things through very thoroughly, so belittling him is really nothing. After all, he and Shen Xiliu were not on the same level. It was a money transaction from the beginning. He was just being too sentimental.
Seeing Chen Xiliu again, Qi Yan's heart was not much moved. He treated him as a company customer and poured a glass of juice for Jiang Yuqing and a cup of coffee for Chen Xiliu. When he was about to leave, he heard a familiar and polite thank you.
"What's wrong?"
Jiang Yuqing's assistant passed by the door and saw Qi Yan standing there motionless, so he asked a question.
"Nothing." Qi Yan just felt that the scene just now gave him a dream back to the time when they first lived together, when both sides were polite yet distant. But all this is an illusion. After going through so much, no one can pretend that nothing has happened.
He shook his head and followed the assistant's pace. He still had many shortcomings. Instead of thinking about useless things, he might as well find ways to improve himself and help Jiang Yuqing share more of the burden.
A pregnant man was kept busy. Even if the examination report was normal, he could not rest easy. He could even dream of Gu Yanxing standing behind him and staring at him...
The discussion on the project went smoothly. After all, both parties wanted to make this a success. Jiang Yuqing rarely felt that Shen Xiliu was so worry-free. However, it would be better if they didn't talk about personal matters after discussing the business matters.
"You use him as a shield?" Shen Xiliu asked suddenly.
Jiang Yuqing was drinking juice and almost spit it out. She wiped her mouth gently and looked back at the other person: "Who said that? Don't guess. He is my serious boyfriend now. What, do you have any objection?"
How good is this guy’s relationship with the Yi family? Even when he saw Qi Yan beside him, he would ask about the other person's position in his heart.
If he didn't take Qi Yan seriously and just used him as a shield, Shen Xiliu wouldn't want to attack Qi Yan, right?
With this thought in mind, it was hard for Jiang Yuqing not to be on guard against Shen Xiliu. The memory of the banquet was still replaying in his mind, not to mention that Shen Xiliu's expression was a little off compared to before. Jiang Yuqing talked to him for a few words and then talked about official business and no longer talked about personal matters.
"Please, Shen Xiliu, can you not be so interested in my boyfriend?" Jiang Yuqing said this deliberately. He knew how proud Shen Xiliu was. He would definitely feel disgusted if he said this, so he avoided the topic.
"If you continue chatting with me, I will doubt your thoughts. You know, it's not normal for an omega to talk to another omega about other people's boyfriends."
He almost told you directly, "Don't even think about being a mistress!"
Shen Xiliu was almost disgusted by him, and stood up gracefully, and said with a sneer: "You are so possessive, so why did you let him take that kind of photos?"
"That kind of photo?" Jiang Yuqing was stunned, then immediately reacted and retorted with a look of disapproval, "What do you mean by that kind of photo? That's art! Do you understand art? Don't wear tinted glasses, and don't use this tone to belittle my aesthetics. That is incomparable beauty! Listen to me and don't leave yet."
"Tsk." Shen Xiliu turned and walked away quite quickly.
Passing by the secretary's office, his cold gaze lingered on Qi Yan's gloved hand for a moment, and he looked at him. Without waiting for him to come out, she nodded slightly as a greeting and continued to leave.
“Wait, Chen Xiliu, why are you walking so fast? I need to give you some popular science on this aspect, for someone like you who has no artistic talent. Do you know the composition and artistic conception that I worked so hard to create…” Jiang Yuqing, who was behind him, felt his art belittled, and chased after him unconvincedly, and continued to talk about his creative ideas.
"Jiang Yuqing, why are you walking so fast!" Before he could catch up, Qi Yan's brows jumped, and he walked out of the secretary's office first to stop Jiang Yuqing's persistence.
"Since he ignored my artwork and didn't know how to appreciate it, I must explain my creative philosophy to him!" Jiang Yuqing said, with his hands on his hips. "Qi Yan, do you know how much of a shame this is for an artist?"
"I don't know." Qi Yan said expressionlessly. He only knew that a pregnant woman who was only two months pregnant should not run around.
"What? You want to humiliate me too?!" Jiang Yuqing widened his eyes in disbelief. When talking about art, he showed an inexplicably stubborn temperament.
Qi Yan felt that he was a little crazy, and Chen Xiliu was also a little crazy, otherwise how could he and Jiang Yuqing talk about projects and art? However, after listening to Jiang Yuqing's nagging complaints, he realized that it was actually the photos he had taken before that caused the trouble. What did Shen Xiliu mean by this?
Qi Yan frowned slightly, a little confused about Shen Xiliu's thoughts.
After get off work, he left on time and sent Jiang Yuqing home before returning to his own house.
The layout of the room has not changed. One wall is filled with a wine cabinet and a small bar. In the past, when he had nothing to do, he always liked to practice his cocktail making skills. Now, he occasionally can't help but try it. After all, so many years of practice have made it an instinctive habit, and it is impossible to forget it just like that.
But after his hand was injured, he could no longer regain the feeling he had before. His numb fingers felt stiff when he moved them. When Qi Yan was secretly practicing, he had no idea how many wine glasses he had broken...
After a while, I will have to continue going abroad for inspection with Jiang Yuqing. He pulled off his black gloves, looked at the scars on them, and tried to mix the cocktail, but he was no longer as smooth as before. His trembling fingers couldn't even control the amount of wine, and the cocktail he mixed was a mess. It didn't look good, but it was hard to drink.
Moreover, if the movement is too large, the palm will feel tearing and tightness. If the hand stiffens slightly, the wine glass will slip from the fingertips, making a crisp, loud and harsh breaking sound.
“…”
Qi Yan closed his eyes, feeling a little psychologically traumatized, so he simply took the gloves back and stopped practicing.
This habit needs to be changed. I won't do it again anyway, so there's no need to keep practicing.
Qi Yan said to himself, now that he no longer works in the bar, his lifestyle has become healthier than before, and he goes to bed early and gets up early to go to work. If it weren't for his old friends asking him to go out and have fun on the weekend, he probably wouldn't have planned to go to the bar again.
"You resigned, but you didn't completely cut off ties with us. If you don't come to play, you really don't consider us as friends!" Brother Xu's voice came from the other end of the phone, very loud.
He knew that Qi Yan felt guilty about what happened that night, but no one wanted that kind of thing to happen, and no one would blame Qi Yan. After all, he was the one who was most seriously injured in that incident...
Jiang Yuqing, who was sitting in the passenger seat playing with her phone, heard the loud voice and said, "Wow! How did you, a frequent bar goer, give up going to bars? I want to have some fun, too. Going to bed early and getting up early every day just to go to work is such a miserable life. I really want to go to the bar and dance!"
He is also a person who cannot sit still, but the workload is so heavy that he has no energy to play, and he also has to consider his physical condition.
Seeing that he was ready to make a move, Qi Yan agreed to the person on the other end of the phone, then hung up the phone and said, "I advise you not to even think about it."
"I don't want your children to learn how to dance the moment they are born."
"Hahaha, that's really exaggerated. If the baby is born this happy, he will definitely be lively in the future. Looking at it this way, he will definitely not look like someone who is depressed and melancholy. That would be great!"
After sending the man home, Qi Yan went in and sat for a while, then Jiang Yuqing asked with a smile: "Hey, Qi Yan, if you get married in the future, do you want your child to look like you, or like your future partner?"
Qi Yan didn't expect him to ask this question. He was stunned for a moment before he said slowly, "...I haven't thought about this question."
"Huh? Why?" Jiang Yuqing was a little surprised.
Qi Yan shrugged his shoulders: "No reason, I have no plans to fall in love or get married. I am a single person and have long excluded these things from my life choices. It's that simple."
“…”
Jiang Yuqing rarely fell silent, but soon he smiled brightly: "Haha, that's good too, being alone is very free. Time always belongs to you, you can do whatever you want, you don't need to consider others, and you don't have to worry about how to deal with complicated emotions and the conflicts that arise. You will definitely live a relaxed and happy life..."
"Yeah, it will save a lot of trouble." Qi Yan smiled. He had already made an appointment with Brother Xu and the others. He would leave when the time came and asked Jiang Yuqing to call him if she had any problems.
"Hey, I'm not the kind of boss who doesn't distinguish between working hours and off-get off work times. See you at work tomorrow." Jiang Yuqing said with disgust. As soon as the door was closed, he frowned and walked slowly back and forth in the living room.
Something is not right, as Qi Yan is obviously the one who longs for and cherishes his family the most.
They had chatted briefly before, and Qi Yan was not single at that time. Why did he suddenly rule out love and marriage now?
If he continued to maintain such a peaceful life, it would probably be quite easy for Qi Yan, but unfortunately, he found himself in conflict with ordinary life.
When Qi Yan came home from get off work and saw the familiar Maybach downstairs, he had a bad feeling.
When I saw Shen Xiliu walk out of the car, this premonition became even more real.
"Can we talk?"
Chen Xiliu's attitude was very peaceful, as if he had suddenly returned to the time when they first met, with a calm, aloof and noble look.
It had not been long since the contract ended, but Shen Xiliu acted as if nothing had happened.
