Qiao Weiyi changed his shoes and walked into the house, and saw Rong Juan sitting there.
His body language was clearly tense, but his face had an indifferent expression. He looked at her sometimes and watched TV at other times.
"Why are you back so early?" Qiao Weiwei asked, "Isn't there a very important dinner?"
"Yes." Rong Juan responded, paused again, and then said, "I'm almost done eating. I'll be back."
After saying that, he stared at the TV for a while, then looked up at her again and said, "Why did you come back so late? Are you working overtime?"
"Yes, work overtime." Qiao Weiyi responded naturally, then stood up and walked to the bedroom, saying, "I'm going to take a shower first."
Rong Juan immediately said nothing and still sat there watching his TV.
Qiao Yiwei came out of the shower. He still maintained his previous position, sitting on the sofa and staring at the TV.
Qiao Weiwei walked over and sat down next to him, then glanced at the health program on TV and asked, "Is this program so good?"
After a while, Rong Juan made a sound from his nose, barely giving her a response.
Qiao Weiwei looked back at him and said, "What's wrong with you? Are you in a bad mood?"
His face was obviously gloomy, but after meeting her gaze, he forced himself to purse his lips, put on an extremely forced smile, and then replied: "No."
Qiao Weiwei asked again: "How about the dinner tonight?"
"It's pretty good," he said.
"That's good." Qiao Weiyi said, "I thought something unpleasant happened."
Hearing her words, Rong Juan lowered his head in confusion, "Huh?"
Qiao Weiwei raised his head to meet his gaze and said slowly: "Why else would you run away when you saw me, as if you saw a ghost?"
Rong Juan was startled for a moment, then suddenly stretched out his hand and took her into his arms. He looked at her with a somewhat rapid breathing and said, "Have you seen me?"
"I saw it." Qiao Weiwei said, "But in the blink of an eye, the person disappeared. If I hadn't seen Manager Xu of your company in the lobby downstairs, I would have thought I saw it wrong."
The movements of Rong Juan's hands suddenly tightened again, and he stared at her again and again, as if he had a lot to say, but in the end, he still just stared at her, unable to say a word.
Qiao Weiyi couldn't help but frowned slightly, "Do you really have nothing to ask me? Then I'll go to sleep."
After saying that, she stood up, but was held tightly in Rong Juan's arms again.
He hugged her from behind, buried his face in her shoulder and neck, and after a while he whispered: "Wife..."
Qiao Weiwei then turned back to look at him and asked, "When you saw me, why didn't you come to say hello to me, didn't wait for me, and just ran away without a trace?"
Rong Juan was silent for a moment and then said: "You are with Wen Siyan..."
"Um."
"I get angry when I see him." Rong Juan said, "I don't want to be angry in front of you. I promised you not to lose my temper..."
So, is this why he simply ran away without a trace?
For a moment, Qiao Weiwei didn't know how to react. He stared at him for a long time before sighing and saying: "Rong Juan..."
"I didn't lose my temper." Rong Juan said.
"Then are you angry or not?"
Rong Juan pursed his lips and did not answer.
Looking at this look, he must be very angry, but he still can't bear to say anything at this moment. Qiao Weiwei looked at his appearance and finally said slowly: "He invited me to dinner and asked me for help."
She took the initiative to explain. Although Rong Juan didn't want to know the inside story, he still asked, "What can I do for you?"
"His girlfriend has taken a fancy to a high-end dress. There is only one in the world. He wants my help so that she can wear that dress at their engagement party."
Rong Juan frowned and felt his head was buzzing.
"His girlfriend?"
"Um."
"Their engagement party?"
"Um."
"He..." Rong Juan couldn't digest it for a while, and finally said, "When did he have a girlfriend?"
Qiao Weiwei said slowly: "He has always had a girlfriend, but he has had several girlfriends intermittently over the years. However, we have been together for more than three years now, and he wants to settle down."
Rong Juan listened and said nothing for a while.
"So, are you still angry?" Qiao Weiwei asked him.
Rong Juan lowered his eyes and his expression seemed to soften a little.
"Do you still want to take a shower?" Qiao Weiwei asked again, "If you don't take a shower... you are not allowed to go to my bed."
Rong Juan stared at her for a moment, then suddenly came forward and kissed her hard, and then a little smile returned to his face.
…
That night, nothing happened between the two of them.
Rong Juan took a shower and went to bed, holding Qiao Weiwei in his arms as before, trying to fall asleep in the familiar posture.
The two of them chatted for some time, and Qiao Weiwei gradually became sleepy and fell asleep unconsciously.
However, she did not sleep peacefully this time. She always felt like there was something pressing on her heart. This feeling prevented her from falling into a truly deep sleep. After more than half an hour, she suddenly woke up.
.
She woke up very lightly, just slowly opening her eyes and taking a look. Normally, she would not disturb Rong Juan who was lying next to her.
But the moment she opened her eyes, what she faced was another pair of eyes that were open, always bright, and awake.
He didn't sleep the whole time, and just kept looking at her, quietly, silently, and humbly.
Rong Juan just silently stretched out his hand and hugged her tightly. After a long time, he finally spoke in a low voice and said: "Wife, you only like me and have only loved me, right?"
Qiao Weiwei paused for a moment and said slowly: "No."
Rong Juan froze suddenly.
Qiao Weiwei touched the line of his back and whispered: "When I was in kindergarten, I liked a handsome little boy in my class... Later I found out that he wet the bed during his nap, so I didn't like him.
Already."
Rong Juan was stunned for a moment, came to his senses, couldn't help but stretched out his hand to pinch her face, and said, "Are you deliberately angry with me?"
"It's true." Qiao Weiwei nodded seriously.
Rong Juan couldn't help but squeeze her face harder, and then gradually relaxed. After a long time, he asked in a low voice: "What happened next? Is there anyone else?"
"You." Qiao only replied.
Rong Juan was startled for a moment, and suddenly said angrily: "I'm not someone else!"
"Oh." Qiao Weiwei responded, and then said, "Then it should be gone."
"What about Wen Siyan?"
Sure enough, I still can't get through it.
Qiao Weiwei sighed softly and said: "He was a senior who took good care of me in school. After he graduated, we had no contact for two or three years, and then we met by chance——"
"But the day we divorced..." Rong Juan paused for a long time before finally saying, "He was the one who picked you up...I saw it."
Qiao Weiwei was a little confused.
In fact, her memory of the day they divorced didn't have much presence of Wen Siyan, so much so that she couldn't react when he suddenly mentioned it.
After a while, she responded in a low voice and said, "Ah."
Rong Juan couldn't help but hug her and rub her against her, but he seemed unable to ask any more unnecessary questions.
After a long time, Qiao Weiwei slowly spoke again——
"That day, he happened to come to me for something and asked me where I was. I had just arrived at the Civil Affairs Bureau at that time, and then I told him."
"I didn't know he would come... I walked out and saw him at the door."
"I got into his car and asked him to take me away, just to get out of there quickly."
"Just like...I insist on taking a taxi to the Civil Affairs Bureau by myself instead of taking your car..."
"Because I know that if I stay any longer and see you again, I won't be able to hold on anymore..."
"Rong Juan, at that time, if I looked at you one more time, I would be shaken, I would break down and cry." She whispered, "So, I can't."
