Li Qi's voice contained three parts surprise and seven parts surprise.
"Li Qi?"
There was a hint of nervousness and a hint of surprise in his voice.
Obviously they didn't expect that the other party would be here.
The beautiful figure on the steps is Mrs. Qin. At this time, she is wearing a silver gauze coat. Under the moonlight, she looks like a moonlight fairy. Although her face cannot be seen clearly, the beauty of the moonlight is just hazy, isn't it?
?
Li Qi smiled inexplicably and said, "Madam, you can't sleep either. Come down and sit down?"
There was silence for a while on the steps, and then Mrs. Qin said: "It's getting late, I'm going back to the house to rest, you should also have a rest early." After that, she made a gesture to go back to the house.
This is obviously an excuse. You have just come out, how could you go back so soon? Li Qi sighed: "If I had known that this savior was so terrible, I would not have acted like him. I can't tell the difference between a good guy and a bad guy."
When Mrs. Qin heard the words "savior", she suddenly stopped and hesitated for a while. Finally, she turned around, walked down the steps, and came to the table where Li Qi was sitting.
"Please take a seat."
Li Qi stretched out his hand and said.
Mrs. Qin sat down and suddenly smelled the aroma of wine. When she took a closer look, she saw an opened bottle of wine on the table. What surprised her even more was that Li Qi actually held one in his hand.
Glass with fine wine.
It can be said that Li Qi doesn't drink, which is known to everyone. When the emperor gave him the wine, he didn't drink it, but now he is sitting here drinking alone. This is simply a great news!
"You---you're drinking?"
Mrs. Qin asked Li Qi in an incredulous tone.
Li Qi rolled his eyes and sighed, "I don't want to either, but apart from wine, I really can't think of anything else that can relieve my sorrow."
Could it be because---. Mrs. Qin's eyes gradually dimmed as she heard this, and she said: "I---I---."
"You what?"
Li Qi asked with interest.
Mrs. Qin said nothing.
Li Qi smiled and said, "You don't think I'm just drinking to drown my sorrows because of you."
Li Qi waved his hand and said with a smile: "Whatever, madam, please don't look down on me. I have sworn not to drink again in this life, and I will never drink again. I am just sitting here alone and bored. I will open a bottle of Wushuang to accompany me."
Accompany me, it is unparalleled. I am alone, and they form a perfect pair. If you don't believe it, you can take a closer look. I haven't even drank a sip, but now that you are here, you can put this wine aside." He said.
Putting the wine aside, he did not forget to add, "But this does not mean that I am a person who always gives up."
This was really a big mistake. Mrs. Qin felt her face was hot and her expression was very embarrassing. Fortunately, it was night. Li Qi couldn't see her and said dissatisfiedly: "You really don't speak the truth."
"No, no."
Li Qi shook his head and said: "Being bored is also a kind of sadness. Borrowing wine does not mean drinking. I said borrowing wine to relieve sorrow. Where did I start from the word lie. I'm afraid, madam, you are overthinking it."
Does this make sense? Mrs. Qin knew that she had been deceived by Li Qi, so she hesitated and said: "Who--who is overthinking it."
"Who knows." Li Qi stopped teasing her and asked with a smile: "You and sister Qingzhao go out to play every day recently. How much fun can you have?"
Mrs. Qin hummed softly: "If someone is not here, I will naturally have fun."
"Madam, the person you are talking about is definitely not me." Li Qi said shamelessly.
Mrs. Qin imitated Li Qi's tone and said, "Who knows."
Li Qi smiled happily and suddenly said: "But I know Madam, you must not be having fun."
"Yeah?."
"Of course." Li Qi chuckled and said, "Madam, you are thinking about me, how can you have fun?"
Mrs. Qin immediately sighed and said, "Who cares about you? It's so shameless."
Li Qi nodded repeatedly and said: "Yes, yes. I did use the wrong words. It should be said that I prevented you from having fun, madam. I am very sorry for this. In fact, I have tried to avoid it. Otherwise, I would have to be shameless."
Go along, you know, I like to hang out with sister Qingzhao the most."
Mrs. Qin shook her head and said helplessly: "The preface doesn't match the postscript. I don't know what you are talking about."
Li Qi rolled his eyes and said, "Madam, if someone likes this, it should be a happy thing. Can you please stop being so ignorant?"
Mrs. Qin was inexplicably panicked and said, "You said I don't know what is good and what is good?"
"I think there should be no one else here." Li Qi looked around and suddenly said: "Oh, there is still the moon. But this has nothing to do with the moon, it is all Zheng Er's fault!"
Mrs. Qin frowned and said, "What does this have to do with second brother?"
"It does matter a lot." Li Qi said with a smile: "It is precisely because Zheng Er stalked you, coerced, lured, and deceived you that Madam, you are now so afraid of being liked. Such a thing is not worth it.
A happy thing."
"Can you please leave some room for what you say? What about deception, coercion and inducement? It's all nonsense."
"Based on the elimination method, Madam, you admit that Zheng Er is stalking you?"
"I didn't say that." Mrs. Qin defended in a panic.
"You don't need to say this, everyone has seen it."
Li Qi opened his hands and said: "But madam, you have to understand one thing. Zheng Er is just a special case. Some people like it. This is just a single incident. It is the beginning and the result. You don't need to give yourself too much at all."
There is so much pressure on me. There are so many girls in the world who like me. If I were like you, I would not have to worry about dying."
"Shameless." Mrs. Qin rolled her eyes.
Li Qi said confidently: "Don't believe it, I'm handsome, rich, and a high-ranking official. As long as I put a recruitment notice in front of my door, the girls who come for the interview will be able to do so without any pressure."
From Hangzhou to Bianjing, if you really don’t believe it, we can take a gamble.”
This is really true. With Li Qi's current status, one person is less than ten thousand people. What kind of women can't get it? They have all kinds of skin colors. They are tall, short, fat, thin, even men!
Mrs. Qin had no reason to refute, and said: "It's boring."
"I'm indeed a little bored, but when I say this, I don't mean to show how good I am, because everyone knows this fact. It doesn't matter whether I say it or not." Li Qi boasted, and then said seriously: "I just want to
Tell my wife a very simple truth, I like you."
This is the time to express your love!
Mrs. Qin really didn't expect that Li Qi would say it so bluntly. Her heart was shaken and her face was as red as blood. Even the moonlight couldn't cover it up, and she almost wanted to get up and run away.
Li Qi said quickly: "Are you scared? It's all Zheng Er's fault. However, I think this matter must be made clear, so I beg you not to turn around and leave." As he said that, he suddenly moved the wine glass in front of him to Mrs. Qin.
, said: "As the saying goes, wine makes people brave. Drinking a little wine might make you feel better. Don't worry, I haven't used this cup before. The wine has already sobered up, so the taste shouldn't be bad."
Yes, some things are better explained clearly. Although she thought so, Mrs. Qin's whole body was still tense. She really needed something to relieve her nervousness, and unconsciously picked up the wine glass in front of her.
.Took a small sip.
Li Qi smiled and said: "There are only two of us here, we might as well open the skylight and speak frankly. To be honest, I really can't figure it out. What is it that makes you so afraid?"
"I don't know either."
Mrs. Qin surprisingly made no excuses this time.
Phew! She was finally willing to face it. Li Qi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "This is Zheng Er's fault."
Mrs. Qin rolled her eyes at Li Qi and said, "Can you not blame Brother Zheng?" She hesitated and then said, "Although it has something to do with him, it is not his fault."
Li Qi smiled and said: "Madam, we are all adults, not children. We cried so hard just for a piece of candy. I like you. This is just an objective fact. Strictly speaking
Come on, this has nothing to do with you at all. You can't make me dislike you. I can't do it myself, and you can't do it. It's not like I can't live without you. You either
Narcissism, or just mediocrity."
Mrs. Qin pondered, took another sip of wine unconsciously, and simply said: "Then - what should I do?" There was a hint of helplessness in her tone.
"It seems you still didn't understand what I said." Li Qi sighed helplessly and continued: "Just do what you want. You can do whatever you want. This is not a national matter. You
You have to sacrifice your life for the country and are subject to various restrictions. This feeling is inherently selfish. As long as you are not maliciously playing with other people's feelings, or using feelings to gain benefits, you can't do too much. I like you, and you let me like you.
That's it. There's no need to have any burden at all. If I harassed you, that would be another matter, but I didn't do that, and I would never do that. Your feelings are just your private matter.
"
Feelings are inherently selfish? Mrs. Qin kept repeating this sentence silently in her heart, and suddenly a bright light flashed in her heart. She felt a little more relaxed and said, "Do you really think so?"
"I swear to God."
"Thank you."
"Thank you for not stalking you?"
Mrs. Qin was stunned, shook her head and said, "I don't know, maybe." As she said that, she subconsciously picked up the wine glass, but the bottom was already in the glass.
Suddenly, a column of water fell into the cup at the right time. She looked up and saw Li Qi holding the wine bottle and softly saying thank you.
After putting down the bottle, Li Qi said again: "You really misunderstood that day by the river. I didn't mean it that way. Although I like you, I still have reservations about your feelings at the moment. Otherwise, I would have stayed with you that day at West Lake."
Confession, based on my many years of experience, that is an excellent opportunity. If you hadn’t been avoiding me recently and treating me like a god of plague, I wouldn’t have said it so early, because there is a Wang family behind you.
, I also have to consider this."
Mrs. Qin heard Li Qi keep saying that he liked her without any concealment, and she said it very openly. After a glass of wine, she was not as restrained as before. She leaned on the chair and said curiously: "Then
Where were you and Qiniang back then?"
Li Qi really didn't expect that Mrs. Qin would be interested in this topic. He was stunned and said with a smile: "I really didn't understand anything at that time and didn't think about it so much, but it's different now. After experiencing so many things, I
I have to think about these issues. In other words, if I were still a small businessman or a lonely person, I might stalk you."
