On the way back, Xue Jue's face was always ugly.
He ignored Zu Qi, who was following behind, and kept rushing forward with a gloomy expression, straddling his long legs, and disappeared from Zu Qi's sight after a while.
Zu Qi walked back slowly along the path.
As a result, in less than a minute, Zu Qi heard the footsteps of Xue Jue striding back, and then the light in front of him dimmed, and when he looked up, he saw Xue Jue standing in front of him with an expressionless face.
Zu Qi raised his lips and smiled, his eyes narrowed into crooked moon shapes, and his helpless expression was a bit like treating an unreasonable child: "What kind of temper are you making?"
"You deliberately asked me to follow you so that the Bo Guangjian and his wife could not refuse your invitation." Xue Jue's voice was very low, and her straight eyes seemed to see through Zu Qi's soul.
Zu Qi, who had no psychological burden at first, was seen by Xue Jue, and he suddenly felt guilty of being a thief. He subconsciously took two steps back.
"Bai Guangjian will definitely not refuse me, but his wife may not be obedient." Zu Qi touched his bulging belly and said with little confidence.
As long as there is Xue Jue in town, Rao Chen Meixin will not refuse Zu Qi's request to have dinner together, no matter how reluctant they are. After all, their husband and wife need to rely on Xue Jue in many aspects of their work.
Zu Qi thought he was doing it quietly, but he did not expect to be discovered by Xue Jue so quickly.
At this moment, Zu Qi felt fear for no reason in his heart. He always habitually regarded Xue Jue as a paper man who died in the character setting, but he forgot that Xue Jue actually had flesh and blood and thoughts.
Based on Xue Jue's 31 years of experience, he has definitely walked more bridges than Zu Qi.
So, how could Xue Jue not see Zu Qi's thoughtfulness
Under Xue Jue's icy gaze, Zu Qi couldn't help lowering his head, clutching the thin coat on his body with his hands a little helpless.
Zu Qi was hesitating whether to find a reason to excuse him, but he heard Xue Jue say: "Shi Hao has already received the punishment he deserves, and now that his reputation is ruined, he will not make a splash in the entertainment circle in the future. Let everything stop in moderation.”
Hearing that, Zu Qi suddenly raised his head and looked at Xue Jue in disbelief.
How did Xue Jue know about his plan? !
No, he didn't tell anyone what he was thinking at all, let alone let others know that Shi Hao called him.
Xue Jue raised the corners of his mouth, and there was a sarcasm on his lips, and he said lightly: "If you want people to know nothing, you can't do anything about yourself, you can find someone to investigate the matter of Chen Meixin and Shi Hao, I know all about it. Chu."
After being surprised, Zu Qi quickly recovered his calm, he half-squinted his eyes, and for a while he felt that the ridicule on Xue Jue's face was extremely dazzling, he said with a smile that was not a smile: "Then I was bullied by Shi Hao and Chen Meixin united before, Do you know that too?"
If he hadn't read this novel, he wouldn't know that Shi Hao and Tang Mo Ning bullied the original owner so badly in the past, and it was all supported by Chen Meixin.
Now that the original owner has been reduced to the point where everyone on the Internet is despised, Chen Meixin has a responsibility that cannot be dismissed.
Xue Jue frowned: "That's all in the past..."
"But for me, those hurdles will never be overcome." Zu Qi sternly interrupted Xue Jue, perhaps influenced by the original body, he was very emotional, "Shi Hao's current experience is not enough to make up for what he once did to me. I will never let him go so easily."
Xue Juepi smiled but said, "So you are using me?"
Zu Qi was slightly startled: "I'm sorry."
"I don't need your apology, and your apology never comes from the heart." Xue Jue stared at Zu Qi for a long time, and suddenly smiled, "This is indeed your style, but I don't I will go to dinner, you can do it."
After saying that, Xue Jue turned around and left.
This time, after he quickly disappeared from Zu Qi's sight, he never came back.
Zu Qi returned to his residence in three steps and stopped. Xiaoya was looking forward to the door. Seeing him hurriedly greeted him, she all worried: "Madam, you are finally back."
Zu Qi asked, "Where's Xue Jue?"
Xiaoya scratched her head suspiciously: "Mr. never came back."
Zu Qi immediately understood that Xue Jue should have gone directly to his own residence, he nodded, and then entered the room with Xiaoya.
When taking a bath at night, Zu Qi found that his feet were obviously swollen. He pressed his fingers on the swollen ankles and gently pressed it twice. .
It's no wonder that when he went to find Bai Guangjian, his feet would feel sore after walking for a while, and his shoes would make his ankles extremely uncomfortable.
Zu Qi put on his pajamas and lay on his side by the bed, while pressing his feet one after another, he picked up his mobile phone and dialed Shi Hao's number.
The beep rang for a long time, and just when Zu Qi was about to hang up the phone, Shi Hao's extremely hoarse voice came from the phone: "Xiao Qi, do you have anything to do with me so late?"
Zu Qi glanced at the time on the wall clock and smiled softly: "It seems that the recent events have little impact on you, and it's only nine o'clock that you start your nightlife."
"I-I didn't..." Shi Hao stuttered and explained hastily, "I have nothing to do at home, so I went to bed earlier..."
Zu Qi was not very interested in Shi Hao's chaotic private life, so he changed the subject after a while, and told Shi Hao the time and place for his and Bai Guangjian's dinner appointment.
"I see, I'll be there on time." Shi Hao replied repeatedly, after a short pause, his tone suddenly became gentle and affectionate, "Xiao Qi, I didn't mean to harass you on purpose that day, I just couldn't let us go. Past feelings…”
Before the words were finished, a groaning sound that seemed to be absent sounded abruptly: "Ah... Brother Hao, take it easy..."
Shi Hao was silent for a moment, and it was estimated that his entire face had turned into a pig's liver.
Zu Qi sneered: "You are born in Tang Moning's bed to recall our relationship, I won't bother you."
"Little Qi..."
Zu Qi hung up the phone directly.
The time agreed with Bai Guangjian is next week. During this time, Zu Qi still picks a lot of wild chrysanthemum from the space every day and gives it to Xiaoya and other maids to make powder.
In order to conceal the source of wild chrysanthemum, Zu Qi ordered the bodyguards to pick the same number of wild chrysanthemums from the back garden and pile them up in his room.
In the dead of night, Zu Qi threw all the ordinary wild chrysanthemums into the space. Although doing so was tiring, it would not arouse suspicion from others.
However, after three or four days, the edema of Zu Qi's feet not only did not relieve, but it seemed to be getting more and more serious.
Xiaoya asked the doctor to see. The doctor said that Zu Qi was about to give birth in her eighth month of pregnancy, and it was normal for her lower limbs and ankles to be swollen. She needed to adjust her diet and exercise moderately.
The daily diet should be kept as light as possible to avoid too salty and greasy.
Zu Qi listened to an expression that the sky was falling.
Xiaoya looked at Zu Qi in embarrassment, so nervous that her facial features were almost crumpled into a ball: "Madam, you really have to listen to Mr.'s words and stop eating the greasy food of roast goose."
Zu Qi dejectedly poked his bulging belly, thinking that he really paid too much for this child, and Xue Jue gave him 10 million at all.
Speaking of Xue Jue, Zu Qi remembered that Xue Jue had never come to see him during this time, and he was probably still angry about what happened that night.
Zu Qi suddenly felt angry and funny. Thinking about it carefully, this was the first time Xue Jue had such a big temper. Maybe his behavior really touched Xue Jue's bottom line.
At first, Zu Qi teased him with the idea of angering Xue Jue and not paying for his life, so he did everything he wanted and never considered Xue Jue's feelings.
But after getting along these days, Zu Qi found that Xue Jue was not as bad as described in the novel, perhaps it was related to Xue Jue not falling in love with the heroine.
Thinking of Xue Jue's knife mouth and tofu heart before, Zu Qi was still a little unbearable. After thinking about it, he decided to find a time to apologize to Xue Jue.
As a result, before Zu Qi could act, that night, when he came out of the bathroom after taking a shower, he saw Xue Jue sitting on the sofa in his bedroom with a laptop to work.
Yu Guangzhong saw Zu Qi limping out, Xue Jue frowned slightly, raised his head, and looked at him coldly.
"Why are you here? I just wanted to find you." Zu Qi wiped his wet hair with a towel in his hand. Just as he was about to say the next sentence, he saw Xue Jue put down the computer and then got up and walked towards him.
Zu Qi was startled by Xue Jue's death-like expression, he subconsciously took two steps back, and said with a trembling mouth: "Big brother, I just borrowed your name a little bit that day, you won't want to die with me."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xue Jue snatched the towel in his hand.
"?"
Zu Qi's face was stunned, he turned back in a hurry, and the next second he met Xue Jue's black-lined face.
The two stared at each other for a while, Xue Jue sighed and said, "Where's the hair dryer?"
Zu Qi said in a daze: "In the bathroom, open the middle of the second compartment of the mirror."
Xue Jue grabbed the soaked towel and went into the bathroom. After a while, he came out with the hair dryer. He supported Zu Qi against the head of the bed and adjusted the hair dryer to medium hot air.
Xue Jue's fingers are very long, and the fingertips are cold. When she moves gently through Zu Qi's hair, she has an indescribable sense of comfort.
Zu Qi narrowed his eyes comfortably, with a contented expression on his face, like a kitten who had tasted fresh fish soup, and soon fell asleep in the warm wind.
Half-dream and half-awake, Zu Qi felt that Xue Jue put away the hairdryer, hugged his waist and made him lie flat on the bed, and then began to gently knead his ankles again.
That night, Zu Qi was rarely troubled by the pain in his feet.
For the next few days, Xue Jue would quietly appear when Zu Qi was sleeping, help him knead his calf and ankle, and disappear without a trace after dawn.
Under Xue Jue's severe reprimand against Xiaoya and Butler Zhang, the greasy food such as roast goose and fried chicken legs on Zu Qi's table were removed.
It wasn't until the day before the appointment that Zu Qi's feet finally disappeared. He asked Butler Zhang to arrange for the driver to take him to the Cuiyue Pavilion restaurant ordered in advance by Bai Guangjian. .
There was a fleeting surprise on Zu Qi's face, followed by a huge surprise. He opened his eyes slightly, and the corners of his mouth turned up involuntarily.
"I knew you would go." Zu Qi held his chin and looked at Xue Jue with a smile, "For your obedience, why don't I give you a reward."
Xue Jue started the car expressionlessly: "I don't lack that dollar."
"Who said I'm going to give you a dollar?" Zu Qi said.
Xue Jue didn't speak, and glanced suspiciously at Zu Qi from the corner of his eye.
After a few seconds of silence, a slyness flashed in Zu Qi's eyes. He suddenly slowed down and said in an ambiguous tone, "How about rewarding you with a kiss?"
The air was completely silent now.
Xue Jue blushed instantly: "... Get out."
Zu Qi couldn't help laughing.
