The way Zijin was texting cautiously and cautiously was directly reflected in Qiao Jinglian's eyes through the smooth walls of the elevator.
She didn't know how ironic she looked in Qiao Jinglian's eyes at this moment.
Qiao Jinglian is not a fool, he is a proud person, and he is also a person who stands on a high place. Sometimes he is just too lazy to care about it, but when he really puts his mind on a person, every move of the other person,
How could he not feel it?
He took his wife out to eat, but his wife stood behind him, thinking that she didn't know anything, and cautiously held her cell phone to send text messages.
Oh, who is she reporting her whereabouts to?
Is Gu Yanshen?
…………
The hands at her side were clenched subconsciously. Qiao Jinglian's eyes fell on the mirror on the elevator wall. She watched Zijin finish sending the text message, with a troubled look on her face. Her two slender eyebrows were slightly twisted. She seemed to be
Somewhat uneasy, Qiao Jinglian even found it ridiculous.
It seemed like she had really never treated herself like this before.
I had always thought that she was a woman I despised, but now I realized that the feeling of being superior to her was just self-deception.
Because, from beginning to end, she was indeed what she said to herself before - she never took herself to heart.
Qiao Jinglian looked at the numbers in the elevator, changing one by one. The numbers from (Floor) to B2 were constantly decreasing. He only felt that it was like his heart at this moment, following this frequency, was constantly sinking.
——It can’t be said that it hurts much, but the uncomfortable feeling is getting worse and worse, like a vine entangled on the tip of my heart, lingering.
The elevator arrived at the underground parking lot. As soon as the double doors opened, Qiao Jinglian stepped out with her long legs.
From the beginning to the end, he acted as if he didn't know what he was doing, but the hands he inserted into his trousers pockets were clenching tighter and tighter.
Zijin naturally didn't know that when she just sent a text message, Qiao Jinglian's mind was already in a state of confusion. She followed him out of the elevator and walked to his champagne-colored Cayenne. When she saw him open the
As he opened the car door and was about to get in, Zijin paused and suddenly opened his mouth and called his name, "Qiao Jinglian, wait a moment."
Qiao Jinglian raised an eyebrow, held the car door with one hand, looked at her, and said nothing.
"Let's speak clearly first."
Zijin didn't wait for him to say anything, and simply said: "...You have told me several times before, but every time, you always failed to get to the point. This time, you asked me to have dinner with you, and I
I hope you can keep your promise and talk to me about what I want to talk about after dinner."
"What do you want to talk about?"
Qiao Jinglian curled her lips, but the curve was a bit cold, "What is the thing you want to talk about?"
"You know."
Zijin raised his neck, not afraid of Qiao Jinglian's cold gaze at this moment, and said word by word: "You know very well what I want to talk to you about. If you are willing to talk to me, then I will get in the car and talk to you."
You go to dinner together, and after dinner, we will talk clearly once and for all. If you are still the same as before... then I don't think it is necessary."
Qiao Jinglian looked at Zijin with deep eyes. After a moment, he chuckled lightly. There was a bit of self-mockery in that smile that was hard to fathom. His thin lips squirmed and he only uttered two words, "
Get in the car."
Zijin watched him bend down and sit in the driver's seat, and secretly guessed in his mind - he didn't say anything just now.
Therefore, she still refused to get in the car. She was so cautious because she was anxious. She had told Qiao Jinglian several times before that the matter of divorce had never been resolved. When she went to find Qiao Shiyun, she was beaten back with a stick. Now she
There is no other way but to go back and work on Qiao Jinglian.
But when he didn't let go, she felt that there was no need for her to get in the car.
She didn't want to waste fearless time.
Qiao Jinglian closed the car door but didn't see Zijin getting in the car yet. Her thick eyebrows furrowed slightly. He reached out and pressed the window, "I'll let you get in the car."
"Promise me and I'll get in the car."
Qiao Jinglian looked at her for a moment, with too much coldness in her deep eyes. In the end, all the coldness was condensed together, and she smiled angrily, "Okay, I promise you, you can get in the car."
.”
Zi Jin's heart beat uneasily.
In fact, Qiao Jinglian had cheated on her several times before, and she was still a little wary of him, but then she thought about it, these things had to be resolved, and if they were not resolved, it would be unreasonable to keep dragging them on forever. They had to face him after all.
Yes, she gritted her teeth and got in the car without giving herself a chance to hesitate.
The moment the door was closed, the car started quickly. Zi Jin had no time to fasten his seat belt and couldn't help but exclaimed. Qiao Jinglian ignored it and stepped on the accelerator desperately. When he arrived at the restaurant, Zi Jin's face was full of
It was all pale.
…………
The manager of the restaurant naturally knew Qiao Jinglian. When he saw Master Qiao and Mrs. Qiao coming in together, he greeted them enthusiastically. Qiao Jinglian directly ordered the manager and asked to take them to the private room upstairs.
As soon as Zijin heard about the private room, his heart suddenly became tense. He opened his mouth and said, "No, just go downstairs -"
She pointed to the window seat not far away, "It's right there, it's more convenient."
Qiao Jinglian, "…………"
Zijin's idea of not going to the box was very simple. When they were alone, she was afraid that Qiao Jinglian would do something to her, so she felt that it was the safest place downstairs, next to the window.
No matter how unruly this man is, he will never behave in a public place that is unacceptable to her.
The two of them sat down, and the waiter quickly brought the menu. Zijin didn't have much appetite at all, so he ordered a set meal at random, but the waiter beside him introduced it diligently, "Ms. Qiao, this set meal is for an event we are having.
You and Master Qiao can choose a candlelight dinner today, and this package will also include piano or violin performance for you two..."
Zijin, "…………"
"Really?"
Qiao Jinglian folded her two long legs and held her chin with one hand. Compared with his gloomy handsome face just now when he was driving, the emotion between his brows at this moment was obviously not as tense as before. He seemed to be quite interested.
, his long and sharp fingers gently rubbed his chin, "Then I want this couple's set meal."
The waiter immediately smiled and nodded, "Yes, Master Qiao."
Zijin's heart sank slightly and she frowned. Just as she was about to say something, Qiao Jinglian seemed to know what she wanted to say. She stretched out her hand to push the plate in front of her and spoke one step ahead of her, "...it's just a meal, isn't it?
It doesn’t matter what the package is, and everyone here knows my relationship with you, so don’t say anything that will embarrass me."
"…………"
Zijin was really speechless. What words could embarrass him?
He had done many things to "embarrass her" before, but now he seemed to only allow the state officials to set fires but not the people to light lamps.
But thinking about it, forget it. As he said, it's just a meal. It doesn't matter if it's a set meal or not.
Zijin swallowed the words in her throat and waited for the waiter to serve her meal. She ate some without interest, picked up the water glass on the side, took a shallow sip, and chose to speak first, "...I've almost eaten.
, I want to tell you..."
"I haven't finished eating yet."
Qiao Jinglian didn't even raise her head, but directly interrupted Zi Jin's words. After a moment, the knife and fork in his hand dropped on the plate with a clatter. He paused, then raised his head, and looked at Zi Jin with a deep look.
Jin, "Are you so anxious? You just had a meal with me, and you only ate half of it without seeing me?"
Zijin, "…………"
On the piano stand nearby, someone walked up, sat down, and soon started playing.
Beautiful and sweet music seems to make people happy physically and mentally, because it is given as a couple's package, and the songs played are naturally sweet songs. But Zijin doesn't realize it at all now. She is currently focused on just wanting to have sex with Qiao Jinglian.
Speak clearly and in the shortest possible time.
"Qiao Jinglian, let's speak clearly, okay?"
Zijin took a deep breath and twisted his slender fingers together subconsciously, "I don't want to continue like this anymore. In fact, continuing like this will not do any good to either of us. You should understand what I mean. Before I
I have already gone to see my father and told him about our divorce..."
"He agreed?"
Somewhat unexpectedly, she didn't expect that she would be so determined. She thought she was just looking for herself first, but she didn't expect that she would also look for the old man. Qiao Jinglian had a feeling of falling into the bottom of the valley. This feeling, in his
His chest was raging, making his mood even more violent.
"I don't agree."
Zi Jin told the truth, "So I want to talk to you..."
"What are we talking about? Divorce?"
Qiao Jinglian sneered and pushed the half-eaten plate in front of her with a little force of her fingers. The knife and fork fell on the table with a clatter. There seemed to be a slight smile on his face, but the light in his eyes was clearly sharp.
, "Shen Zijin, do you really want to divorce me, huh? You have to divorce me, right?"
"yes."
Zijin was very calm and nodded, "I don't want to repeat some words, Qiao Jinglian. In fact, there is no relationship between us at all. What's the point of continuing like this?"
"Is it because we don't have feelings for each other, or do you have feelings for Gu Yanshen?"
"…………"
Qiao Jinglian looked straight at Zijin and asked word for word: "You want to divorce me so much and cut off the relationship with the Qiao family? Then tell me now, how far have you and Gu Yanshen... developed?
Already?"
Zijin's heart skipped a beat. The man opposite him had deep eyes, and every word contained a bit of heavy strength. But for some reason, Zijin clearly heard something else in his tone.
kind of, similar to the meaning of compromise.
"Is it holding hands, kissing, or... already having sex?"
"…………"
"Tell me, Shen Zijin, tell me the truth without even a word of deception."
Zijin's eyes trembled violently. She didn't expect that Qiao Jinglian would ask herself these questions. Naturally, she felt uneasy and a little panicked. Perhaps this was the so-called "guilty conscience". Of course, she was not afraid of Qiao Jinglian himself.
, but people all have a sense of shame. There is no way her relationship with Gu Yanshen could be revealed to the world now. She is not a saint.
But when Qiao Jinglian asked this question, she seemed to be unable to calmly say that nothing happened.
I don't know what kind of ambivalence this is, it's like - I really want to tell him that she really likes Gu Yanshen, but this sentence seems to be stuck in her throat, and I can't say it out.
.
Having said that, it is indeed possible to have a clear conscience, but what are the consequences?
She is not really that stupid and naive. The relationship between Gu Yanshen and the Qiao family is not as simple as what she sees on the surface. Although Gu Yanshen sits in the position of president of the Qiao family, Qiao Shiyun does not give him much.
shares, and what can be learned from Gu Yanshen's words is that he does not like people from the Qiao family.
It seemed that even Qiao Shiyun, he didn't agree with it.
But why did he come back to City C from the UK? People who don't like the Qiao family are willing to help the Qiao family manage the company, and he has been back for so long, and his surname has always been Gu.
…………
Zijin had never asked Gu Yanshen about this, but she knew it very well.
So, if she really admits something to Qiao Jinglian now, what will happen then?
She wasn't sure, and she didn't dare to try. Although she was worried that she would be reviled, what she was more worried about now was Gu Yanshen.
It's just a lie, and it's not that he has never lied before. At least before discussing this matter with him, Zijin always felt that he should remain silent.
After thinking about it, she stabilized her mood, looked at Qiao Jinglian calmly, and shook her head, "...you are overthinking it. Gu Yanshen and I are not in that kind of relationship. I don't know why you have to get involved with Gu Yanshen. Maybe you fight with him."
It's so bad, it feels like I'm caught in the middle, as if I have to have something to do with someone. Qiao Jinglian, I'm just talking to you about things between us, don't involve a third party, okay?"
Maybe it's true. I have denied this topic so many times without blushing or heartbeat, so now, I don't feel nervous at all.
Qiao Jinglian's eyes flickered. Because he was sitting facing the restaurant, he only had to look up to see the people coming in and out of the restaurant. The "gift" of the couple's set meal, a piano piece, had already been played, and the piano player
The man came over at this moment and nodded slightly to Qiao Jinglian, "Master Qiao, I wonder if you are satisfied with what you just played?"
The pianist's interruption naturally interrupted the conversation between the two. Zijin was a little impatient. Every time the topic reached a critical moment, something would always come up, but she couldn't say more. She tightened her hands and sat down.
There, there was no sound.
Qiao Jinglian chuckled slightly, looking like a bohemian young master, "Didn't you see that my wife's face was wrinkled? She doesn't like it, go up and play another song."
"…………"
The pianist's face suddenly looked a little embarrassed, but since it was Qiao Jinglian, he naturally didn't dare to attack casually. He coughed lightly and said, "...Yes, then...Master Qiao, what music do you want to listen to?"
"Honey, what do you want to hear?"
Zijin, "…………"
She felt that he was really boring. What did he mean now? She was talking to him about divorce, but he told her about the piano. She felt helpless, and she felt that going out with him today was still a wrong decision. It was really bad.
You should trust this man, he is so unreliable.
She stood up with a cold face, looked at the man leaning on the seat opposite, and said without emotion: "If you asked me to come out with you today to do such a purposeless thing, then - forget it.
Yes, I’m going back first.”
"Where to go?"
Qiao Jinglian stood up quickly, stretched out her long arm, and grabbed Zi Jin's wrist. Zi Jin struggled, and Qiao Jinglian held on tightly. He turned his face and said to the cannon fodder pianist who was still standing aside, very embarrassed.
He said, "...Go and play. I'm going to request a song now. Can you play "Too Late for Love"?"
"…………"
Zijin's expression changed. She waited for the pianist to go away before she lowered her voice and asked angrily: "Qiao Jinglian, what are you doing?"
"It doesn't matter. I think this song is more suitable for the occasion."
"…………"
"Sit down, I haven't finished speaking yet!"
"Is there anything else you can say to me? I don't know what you are thinking, but this is boring. Every time you say you want to talk to me, you always fail to listen to what I say...
Forget it, let me go!"
"What you want to talk to me about and what I want to say to you, do you think it must be the same?"
Qiao Jinglian sneered, and her tone was clearly cold, but there was a hint of bitterness in it, "You are always talking to me about divorce. Do you know what I want to tell you?"
"…………"
Zijin's lips trembled but he didn't make a sound. Qiao Jinglian's eyes flickered, just past Zijin in front of her, and landed directly at the main entrance of the restaurant. Someone hurried forward and took the initiative to open the door of the restaurant, and then she saw the person next to her.
A man in a black formal suit walked in from the outside with steady steps. The man walking side by side with him was wearing a pink polka dot shirt and a pair of light blue jeans underneath.
Two men of about the same height, standing together, have completely different temperaments.
One is calm and restrained, with a mature charm in every gesture, and the other is suave, with spring in his eyes and brows.
Qiao Jinglian raised an eyebrow and quirked her thin lips strangely. Seeing these two people appear here, he didn't seem surprised at all. Instead, he bypassed the dining table and stood directly next to Zijin, regardless of her objections.
, stretched out his hand and directly hugged her slender waist, and hugged her whole body into his arms. The low male voice was completely different from the gentleness just now, "Do you have to be so angry with me? Since the song just now
If it doesn't sound good, then change it to "Love You More Every Day"?"
Zijin, "…………"
The two of them were still fighting, but not far away, the two men who happened to be walking towards this side naturally saw what was happening here.
Su Junyan was still chewing gum in his mouth, and he choked for a moment, and the gum suddenly went down his throat. He coughed twice, holding it in until his face turned red, "...Um...I read that right, right?"
Damn it, my chewing gum got into my stomach!"
"…………"
He grabbed Gu Yanshen, his slender fingers trembling somewhat comically, and pointed at Qiao Jinglian and Shen Zijin not far away, as if he had discovered a new world, "...it's really the two of them, Yanshen, that boy is
You don’t want to live anymore and you’re holding your woman, what are they doing?”
Gu Yanshen didn't say anything, but his hands in his trousers pockets clenched tightly unconsciously.
——In the scene not far away, the man is holding the woman's thin waist. The two of them don't know what they are saying, tugging and tugging, but their bodies are tightly pressed together...
His eyes sharpened suddenly, he frowned, and stood still.
Compared to Gu Yanshen, who was calm and restrained, Su Junyan was obviously very excited, but this man probably still had the mentality of watching a good show. He stood aside and shouted, "...Yanshen, holy shit, did you see this? Qiao Jinglian...
Boy, he actually hugged Shen Zijin..."
As he spoke, he rubbed his abdomen and muttered, "I just swallowed the chewing gum. I wonder if it will affect my appetite..."
The location where they were standing was not very far from Qiao Jinglian and Zijin. In this kind of high-end restaurant, the diners were either rich or noble and had good qualities, so the restaurant was relatively quiet. There was a man behind him at this moment.
The sound seemed particularly clear.
Qiao Jinglian had already seen Gu Yanshen and Su Junyan, but Zijin didn't know.
At this moment, she only heard someone shouting "Yanshen" from behind her. Her heart skipped a beat, and she felt a sharp flash of light behind her, secretly screaming that something was not good - City C was really small, could she encounter someone like this?
Thinking of the text message she had just sent him, Zijin really wished that time could go back. If she had known this outcome, she would have chosen to reject Qiao Jinglian directly. Even if she had to take a step back, she would have chosen to enter the box with Qiao Jinglian.
Why do you have to choose such a prominent location?
…………
"Say Cao Cao, and Cao Cao will be here."
Qiao Jinglian deliberately stretched out her hand, held Zi Jin's face, put her thin lips against her cochlea, and smiled. Her voice sounded so gentle, but every word was full of provocation, "I was still saying just now
As for this man Gu Yanshen, he happened to be here too, so why not ask him again the question I just asked you? I really want to know if your answer is the same as his."
"…………"
She was so flustered that before she could say anything, Qiao Jinglian had already let go of her, but he didn't completely let go of her. Instead, he held her hand and pulled her towards Gu Yanshen regardless of her objections.
Su Junyan raised his eyebrows in a naughty manner and whistled. He touched Gu Yanshen with his elbow, clearly gloating about his misfortune, "...I'm just provoking you, Yanshen, you have to control yourself."
Su Junyan was originally handling the final aspects of the project with Mu Chenchu, but after signing the last word, he answered the phone and before he could keep Mu Chenchu, the girl ran away secretly. Su Junyan wanted to go
The Qiao family directly arrested the person, but who knew that Mu Chenchu was not in the Qiao family, so he had no choice but to find Gu Yanshen.
I originally thought that dinner tonight was just a casual meal for two men, but I didn't expect that I would encounter such a wonderful scene here.
Hmm...does he have to get ready soon?
If Yan Shen and the Prince of Qiao took action, would he choose to watch the show? Or should he help?
"We meet everywhere in life. It's such a coincidence that every time I take my wife out, I always meet Mr. Gu. People who don't know it think Mr. Gu has installed some kind of tracking device on my wife."
Qiao Jinglian swaggered and pulled Zi Jin, who had been struggling, but the man was stronger than her. The two of them walked towards Gu Yanshen awkwardly, standing two steps away from him, Qiao Jinglian stopped and raised her hand.
What he said with a frown was an undercurrent.
Zijin really wanted to cry without tears. She tried to shake Qiao Jinglian's hand several times, but she couldn't get rid of it. She didn't dare to stop her eyes on Gu Yanshen. She just took a quick glance and found that his eyes seemed to be on... No
In the distance, at the table where they had just dined.
There was a buzz in the back of Zijin's head, remembering that the waiter just served them a couple's set meal, which included red wine and candles...
"There is a saying that goes well. If it belongs to you, it must be yours. If it is not yours, there is no point in forcing it."
Gu Yan's deep eyes fell on Qiao Jinglian's hand holding Zi Jin's hand. He curled his lips with a cold arc, "Of course, if we are destined, we can always meet her."
Su Junyan stood aside leisurely. The moment he heard the words, he couldn't help but let out a "pop". He quickly turned away and suppressed his smile.
I have always known that Gu Yanshen's mouth can be very poisonous sometimes, but when it was time to deal with Qiao Jinglian, he really used all his strength.
"Really? You can't be destined to be with me, so that means you are destined to meet my wife, Qiao Jinglian, who has come thousands of miles away to meet me?"
Qiao Jinglian sneered, stretched out her hand to loosen Zijin's wrist, hugged her shoulders directly, and pushed her into her arms, "It just so happens that we have argued about this matter several times, but I always want to
I don’t understand why you are so swearing? Is it possible that my wife is still your woman? "
Gu Yanshen's eyes fell on Zijin's face. He didn't say anything, but just stared at her for a moment.
Zijin felt even more guilty. The man's eyes across from her were straight and sharp, like arrows, leaving her with nowhere to hide. She was caught lying and she was indeed at fault. But now,
It was hard for her to open her mouth and say anything.
When Qiao Jinglian saw that Gu Yanshen was silent and just staring at the woman in his arms, his face darkened. He took a step forward and stopped in front of Zijin. The whole restaurant was scattered, and there were several tables of people sitting there.
For a moment, everyone's eyes were looking this way, but Qiao Jinglian looked at Gu Yanshen as if no one was watching, "But I just asked my wife this question, and her answer was - she Shen Zijin and you Gu Yanshen,
There is no ambiguous relationship."
"I want to hear your answer now. Is it the same?"
