Zu Qi lay by the pool for an afternoon.
Although autumn has not yet started, and the weather is not as cool as autumn, the trees in this small garden are full of shadows, and the sun shines through the dense branches and leaves and sprinkles mottled light spots on the gravel path. .
Zu Qi tilted his head, stumbled and didn't know how long he had slept, and was suddenly awakened by the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground.
He opened his eyes suddenly, and his first reaction was to touch his stomach, but he felt a thin blanket over his stomach, which should have been covered by Butler Zhang when he fell asleep.
Soon Zu Qi was attracted by the spicy aroma floating in the air. He turned his head and saw that the maids were already busy in front of the barbecue.
"Madam, you're awake." Xiaoya trotted over holding the dinner plate, and said with bright eyes, "We've prepared some first, so we can give you a belly pad, and put less chili. Would you like to try it?"
Zu Qi looked at the roasted meat on the plate, mixed with chopped green onion and various seasonings, and the aroma came to his face, and he swallowed subconsciously.
I took a skewer of roast beef, took a bite, and immediately had a happy expression.
"Is it delicious?" Xiaoya asked somewhat inquisitively.
"Delicious!" Zu Qi's eyes flashed with surprise. God knows how much he misses these heavy-tasting foods. These days, he has been driven crazy by stewed chicken soup and duck soup.
Zu Qi immediately waved his hand and said, "Give me a few more chicken legs and sprinkle some chopped green onion on the surface."
Xiaoya took the order, put down the plate and ran away.
It didn't take long for Xiaoya to run over with another plate, which contained four roasted golden brown and crispy chicken legs. The oil-soaked surface was crossed with a few knives, and the aroma was almost overflowing. Yards are.
Zu Qi took a chicken leg in each hand and ate happily, and at the same time did not forget to order food from Xiaoya.
Zu Qi, who was immersed in food, didn't notice the changes in the surrounding environment. When he realized it later, Xiaoya and the maids who were busy in front of the barbecue didn't know when to stop.
The vegetables on the grill were still sizzling with oil, and the aroma came in waves after waves.
"What are you doing? Don't burn it." Zu Qi said vaguely, chewing on the chicken thigh.
Xiaoya bit her lip timidly and didn't dare to speak, her head was almost buried in her chest, and the others didn't look much better.
Zu Qi realized that something was wrong, and before he made a sound, he suddenly heard a low and cold voice behind him: "Who allowed you to do this? Why don't you take the things from his hands!"
This sentence was like a cannonball exploded in a heap of maids. The maids all had expressions of horror on their faces, and rushed to Zu Qi like a tide.
When the maids dispersed, the two chicken legs in Zu Qi's hands were nowhere to be seen, and even the two plates placed on the low table were taken away together.
Zu Qi blinked his eyes blankly. He was momentarily stunned. He hurriedly turned his head to look at the source of the sound—
The sky at dusk was filled with large fiery clouds. The tall figure stood with his back to the sunset, and his body was dyed with a halo of halo. He had eyes that were dark and unfathomable like the night. Thin lips glowed a pale pink like cherry blossom petals in the light.
Xue Jue.
Even if he hadn't seen Xue Jue himself, Zu Qi had guessed his identity at the first time.
He did come...
It's still so fast, I'm afraid it's just rushing to get off the plane.
There was no expression on Xue Jue's stern face. He stared at Zu Qi lightly, as if he was looking at an inanimate object.
Zu Qi bent the corners of his mouth: "Long time no see, busy man, thank you for taking the time to see me in your busy schedule."
Xue Jue ignored Zu Qi's cynicism, and turned to call Butler Zhang. Butler Zhang, who was standing behind with his hands behind his back and silent, immediately understood, and quickly left with a group of maids and bodyguards.
In the blink of an eye, only Zu Qi and Xue Jue were left in this place.
The sound of insects around was intertwined, and the cool night wind blew on Zu Qi's skin. Zu Qi couldn't help shivering. He quickly wiped the oil in his palm with a tissue, and then pulled up the thin blanket next to him and wrapped it around him.
Looking up again, Xue Jue has quietly walked in front of him.
"There must be a degree of vexatiousness. I don't have much time to play hide-and-seek with you." Xue Jue looked down at Zu Qi, her eyes covered with a layer of cold frost.
Zu Qi looked back at Xue Jue without fear, and said with a light smile, "I don't have the patience to play such childish tricks with you, but I actually bothered to ask you to come because there is something I want to do with you. discuss."
Xue Jue's eyes moved slightly, but she didn't speak.
"Let's break up." Zu Qi said calmly, as if he was narrating an unimportant matter, "Since we have no feelings between us, it's better to get together and break up, and reduce the damage to each other this morning."
Hearing that, Xue Jue snorted as if she heard a joke.
He still didn't move, but his cold eyes wished to see through Zu Qi's soul.
Zu Qi paused for two seconds. Seeing that the other party's reaction was flat, he lightly tapped his bulging belly with his index finger, half joking and half threatening: "But I already have your child in my belly, you can't let it go. Will our father and son sleep in the open air in the future? Just give me 10 million, and I promise to take the child to disappear without a trace, and never set foot in your life again."
This time, Xue Jue froze directly. He looked Zu Qi up and down with an almost unfamiliar look, and suddenly let out a low laugh.
"So you just want to discuss this with me?"
"Otherwise, what else could there be?" Zu Qi got goosebumps from Xue Jue's laughter, inexplicably shrank his neck, and after thinking about it, he decided to take a step back, "For the sake of the child, I can give it to you. For a 90% discount, you can just give me 9.9 million."
"...I really thank you." Xue Jue squeezed out a sentence between her teeth, "but unfortunately, I have no idea of breaking up for the time being, so don't even think about it."
"..." What the hell? !
Zu Qi's eyes widened in surprise, thinking that Xue Jue's reaction was wrong. According to the novel's character design, shouldn't he happily agree to his request? !
"Wait..." Zu Qi hurriedly said.
Xue Jue didn't intend to dwell on this matter, turned around and said to the remaining two bodyguards who were not far away: "Help him in and find someone to put the bath water away."
So Zu Qi was inexplicably carried into the room by two bodyguards, and then inexplicably taken into the bathroom.
After watching Xiaoya and a maid come in and put the hot water in, Zu Qi suddenly reacted - isn't he talking about breaking up with Xue Jue? Why was he forced to take a shower without saying a word? !
Zu Qi scolded secretly, picked up the thin coat Xiaoya put on the shelf and put it on his body, and walked out aggressively. As soon as he opened the bathroom door, he saw a pair of long straight legs standing outside the door.
Zu Qi's lowered eyes slowly climbed up along those legs, and finally settled on Xue Jue's indifferent face.
"You smell like soot all over you, so come out after taking a bath." Xue Jue said, stuffing a bunch of things into Zu Qi's arms.
Zu Qi took a closer look and saw that it was the pajamas and nightgowns that he had put Xiaoya in the suitcase.
But that's not the point...
"Xue Jue." Zu Qi corrected his attitude and said in a very serious tone, "I'm not throwing a temper, and I'm not trying to threaten you. I really want to break up with you."
Xue Jue showed a smile that was not a smile, and there was a faint sarcasm in his eyes: "At the beginning, you sharpened your head and squeezed into the door of my Xue's house, and now you want to pat your butt and leave, have you ever considered your worth? Isn't it worth ten million?"
Zu Qi was stunned: "I can give you a 90% discount..."
"I won't give you a penny." Xue Jue suddenly stretched out his hand to clamp Zu Qi's chin.
Zu Qi was forced to look up at Xue Jue's eyes. He found that Xue Jue's eyes were very beautiful, like obsidian, beautiful and dazzling with a cool sheen.
"As long as you give birth to the child with peace of mind, and the child grows up and inherits the Xue family, then half of the Xue family's property will belong to you."
Xue Jue's deep voice seemed to be entwined with a trace of charm, his eyes were half-closed, his eyes were extraordinarily clear, and there was a sense of sarcasm, "Isn't this the fame, fortune and wealth you want? I can give it to you. You, the premise is that you can fulfill my request."
Zu Qi stared blankly at Xue Jue, and was suddenly speechless by Xue Jue's words.
It was he who made the problem too simple...
Now that Xue Jue has not fallen in love with the heroine at first sight, he will never let the blood of the Xue family fall outside.
What's more, people outside have heard that Xue Jue has a fiancée. If he leaves when he is more than six months pregnant, once those people find out, they will only spread unfavorable remarks to Xue Jue and the Xue family.
Thinking of this, Zu Qi inevitably felt discouraged.
Xue Jue glanced at Zu Qi, who suddenly replied like a deflated balloon, slowly released the hand holding his chin, and then ordered Butler Zhang, who was standing beside him as a transparent person.
"Help him take a bath, be careful."
"Okay, sir." Butler Zhang brushed his body slightly, stepped forward to take the clothes from Zu Qi's hand, and then squeezed into the bathroom sideways.
Zu Qi thought about it a lot, and finally gave up communicating with Xue Jue temporarily.
He slanted his eyes to gouge out Butler Zhang, who was already in the bathroom, and after half a second of hesitation, he slammed the bathroom door shut in front of Xue Jue.
Make you babble!
Close the door for you!
After Zu Qi thought about it viciously, he suddenly heard a clanging sound.
He looked down and saw a green gem lay beside his feet, exuding an eerie luster under the warm orange light.
Zu Qi suddenly felt that the gem was a bit familiar, as if it was one of the original owner's personal belongings, but he put all those things in the Xue's house and did not bring them out.
How could it be here
Zu Qi thought about it this way, and he bent down with difficulty and reached out to pick up the gem. His pregnant body was so cumbersome, he tried twice to pick up the gem.
The moment he stood up straight, everything around him changed at a speed visible to the naked eye. In just five seconds, the original bathroom disappeared, replaced by a green grass...
