"No wonder you are so heartless and ignore me, it turns out you found a gigolo?!" Cui Anhua saw Qi Zhixi, who was tall and graceful with a noble and elegant temperament, and thought he knew the reason why Liu Shichu was so heartless to him, so he immediately questioned her, like a husband who caught his wife cheating on him.
But he and Liu Shichu had nothing to do with each other, and he acted like this. Liu Shichu felt disgusted. She frowned and said coldly: "You are dirty inside, so you think everyone else is dirty! Even if I really find a pretty boy, what does it have to do with you? Is it your business?"
"So you admit it? Well, I misjudged you. I thought you were a good woman. I didn't expect that after divorcing me, you degraded yourself, found a gigolo, and walked on the street openly and rode in the same carriage. You are really shameless." Cui Anhua said indignantly with an expression that said "I misjudged you".
"How can you be so shameless? Jiang Wenyue's three children were born out of wedlock, right?" Liu Shichu said suddenly.
Cui Anhua's pupils shrank immediately, and he denied it with gritted teeth: "Shut up! This is slander!"
"Whether it is slander or not, you know it very well." Liu Shichu looked at him with disgust and said,
"You have a dirty past, who gave you the courage to pick a fight with me? You have no self-awareness at all! I'll say it again, don't come in front of me and get in my way, otherwise I don't know what I will do."
Cui Anhua was so angry that his chest rose and fell violently. He stared at Liu Shichu with red eyes. He lowered his voice and said angrily, "You two are really not good people. You can only use this matter to threaten me. I wish I had never married you."
"I also wish I had never married you and wasted twenty years of my youth!" Liu Shichu rolled his eyes.
Cui Anhua looked at her, then looked at Qi Zhixi who was standing aside and treated him as a transparent person, and said bitterly: "You and this pretty boy should be careful, don't let me catch you."
Liu Shichu sneered and pulled Qi Zhixi to the side of the carriage, blocking other people's sight. He then quickly stood on tiptoe and kissed the "pretty boy" on the lips. Then he looked at the stunned Cui Anhua, raised his eyebrows and smiled, "I've already kissed you, how do you want to catch me?"
After Cui Anhua was stunned, he angrily cursed: "You, you have no sense of shame!"
"You're too kind! I'm not as good as you. After all, you found a mistress before you even got divorced, and later you made her your wife. In terms of shamelessness, how can I compare to you?" Liu Shichu said without giving in, and finally warned Cui Anhua, "Stay away from me!"
Then he pulled Qi Zhixi into the carriage, not wanting to waste any more time talking to him.
Qi Zhixi, who was pulled into the carriage by her, finally returned to his body after his soul had just drifted away. He regained his sanity and his handsome face instantly turned red as if he had been painted with powder. He was stunned and shocked, and couldn't speak clearly: "How could you kiss me?"
"I'm sorry, I just wanted to piss off my ex-husband to death, so I took advantage of you. I'll compensate you with a bottle of good wine." Liu Shichu said apologetically. It was indeed not kind of her to do this, but she did it because she knew that Qi Zhixi didn't have a wife.
When Qi Zhixi heard her explanation, he didn't know whether he was angry or happy, or maybe a little disappointed. He blurted out, "I lost my innocence after you kissed me. Can a jar of wine compensate for that?"
"Innocence? Do you still care about this? Maybe there is no innocence between us. Don't forget that you are riding in the same carriage with me. We are a single man and a single woman riding in a carriage. Wouldn't anyone be suspicious?" Liu Shichu said with a smile.
Not long ago, Qi Zhixi finished painting a few paintings and said he wanted to hang them in Liu Shichu's manor to see how they looked and whether they were suitable. It was getting late and Liu Shichu only had one carriage, so she simply let Qi Zhixi go with her to the garden.
Qi Zhixi was a free and easy person who didn't care about details. He traveled around all year round and sometimes he couldn't pay attention to the differences between men and women due to limited conditions. So over time, he ignored it. What's more, Liu Shichu was very familiar to him, and when they got along with each other, he sometimes didn't even realize that she was a woman.
"Ah? So I have lost my innocence long ago?" Qi Zhixi's eyes suddenly widened. However, he himself was a rebellious person who did not care much about worldly rules and had no idea about this matter. But he knew that there was someone who cared more about it than he did, and that was his eldest brother.
Liu Shichu saw that he looked as if the sky had fallen, and couldn't help laughing and said, "Why, you can't accept this fact?"
No, he was not unacceptable, but his elder brother certainly could not accept it. His elder brother was still in the capital. If he saw that he and the boss had crossed the line, would his elder brother faint from anger? Qi Zhixi was a little troubled.
"I'm just worried that your reputation will be ruined because of this. It's okay for me as a grown man, but it's different for you." Qi Zhixi said while rubbing his forehead. However, although he said this, he had no intention of stopping the carriage or leaving.
Liu Shichu smiled and asked him: "Do you think I am a woman who cares about this? If I cared, I would have insisted on not divorcing Cui Anhua."
Qi Zhixi nodded and immediately understood what she meant. It was obvious that he, the boss, was more open-minded than him.
“I actually want to visit other different places, walk around, and try wines from other places. The world is so big, there must be a lot of good wines, and I want to taste them.” Liu Shichu said with longing and expectation in his eyes.
When Qi Zhixi heard this, he immediately smiled, and the dimples on his cheeks appeared again. He said, "The wine in other places is indeed very different from that in Beijing. For example, I saw that the locals in one place used cow dung to seal the bottle when making wine. It is called cow dung wine."
Liu Shichu suddenly had an incredible expression on his face, and asked in shock: "Won't the wine brewed this way stink? Can you drink it?"
"No, it actually has a very special flavor." Qi Zhixi said with a malicious smile, "The locals also regard this wine as a good wine to entertain guests. If you are not a guest, they will not give it to you."
Liu Shichu said inexplicably: "This is really strange. What on earth did the person who invented this kind of wine go through?"
Qi Zhixi chuckled after hearing her words. Her thoughts were quite far-reaching. However, when he thought about her question himself, he also had some bad associations.
He quickly changed the subject: "There is also a method that is said to be the most primitive way of brewing wine, which is that the brewer puts the grains to be brewed into his mouth, chews them, and then spits them out to make wine..."
Even though Liu Shichu was knowledgeable, he still felt ignorant after hearing Qi Zhixi's words, so he listened with great interest to Qi Zhixi's various magical wine-making stories.
Qi Zhixi is a very good storyteller. He is knowledgeable, has a good memory and a good sense of humor. His stories are vivid and interesting. After listening to them, Liu Shichu couldn't wait to visit the places in his stories.
