Chapter 154: Kiss marks on the neck
"This is definitely not true!" Aunt He said, "These small newspapers like to talk nonsense out of context, this is definitely not the case, there must be some misunderstanding in it, young lady, you must not believe what is written on it!"
Ye Ronghuan snorted and said, "I know it in my heart." β
But she herself is not brainless, and what is written on it is a little true and a little false, you can guess a rough idea.
Regarding the scene of the two people in the photo, Ye Ronghuan didn't believe that Ji Qinghe was completely innocent.
If it was really Yuan Ruike who took the initiative to post it like the previous times, Ji Qinghe would definitely not give people a chance to touch him, let alone let Yuan Ruike hold his hand and not resist at all.
And judging by his reaction in the office, he was weak-hearted.
Thinking of Gu Chengya's strange behavior recently, Ye Ronghuan pursed his lips.
After staring at the newspaper for a few seconds, she pulled out her phone and made a call.
The call was made to Yun Ming, and Yun Ming told her that before, indicating that he knew something.
Receiving Ye Ronghuan's call, Yun Ming was not surprised at all, and even asked her directly: "Got it?"
Ye Ronghuan was silent for a moment, "What do you know?"
Yun Ming said: "A week ago, Qinghe and Yuan Ruike had a meal alone, five days ago, Qinghe accompanied Yuan Ruike to visit the mall, three days ago, Qinghe and Yuan Ruike had an appointment, I don't know what exactly they did, and as you can see, yesterday, at the charity dinner, Yuan Ruike attended with him as Qinghe's female companion. β
Ye Ronghuan thought that this charity dinner was the beginning, but she didn't expect that there were so many things she didn't know!
I don't know, she doesn't even know it!
She pursed her lips and didn't speak for a long time.
"What else?" she asked again.
Yun Ming said, "I know this. β
"No, you should know anything else. "For example, why did Ji Qinghe and Yuan Ruike suddenly sneak together, obviously Ji Qinghe hated Yuan Ruike so much before, and he couldn't wait to have nothing to do with her again, she could see that those rejections and conflicts were not fake.
So what caused him to suddenly change his attitude towards Yuan Ruike?
Suddenly thinking of something, she asked, "What did the Yuan family and the Ding family do again?"
Yun Ming said: "Qinghe didn't keep his hand last time, and the Ding family was hit hard, so he didn't make a move against the Ji family during this time. β
Ye Ronghuan frowned, what is that for?
"Because of Aunt Ya," Yun Ming said, "I thought you could guess. β
Ye Ronghuan was suspicious, but he couldn't understand what Gu Chengya's purpose was in doing this?
"The contact opportunities between Yuan Ruike and Qinghe were all deliberately created for them by Aunt Ya. Yun Ming told her.
Ye Ronghuan's brows furrowed.
Gu Chengya is now Yuan Ruike's aunt, and it seems that she has a good relationship with Yuan Ruike, so if Yuan Ruike begs her, she ignores Ji Qinghe's son and her daughter-in-law, and helps Yuan Ruike, although it is a little unreasonable, but it is not impossible.
But what Ye Ronghuan couldn't understand was, why would Ji Qinghe be willing? What was there in this that she didn't know?
In the evening, Ji Qinghe came back very late, and he still smelled of alcohol.
"Wife. As soon as he entered the room, he stepped forward to hug her, rubbed it like a coquettish, and kissed her on the cheek, "Why haven't you slept yet?"
Listening to his words, he had a big tongue, and smelled the pungent smell of wine, Ye Ronghuan pushed him away in disgust, "Go wash up, it smells bad." β
Ji Qinghe snorted, "Wife, I don't want to move." β
Ye Ronghuan's face was expressionless and very indifferent, "If you don't move, I'll kick you down." β
Ji Qinghe was hurt by her coldness, his hand was picked up by Ye Ronghuan, and he reluctantly got out of bed.
Ye Ronghuan leaned on the head of the bed, listening to the sound of water in the bathroom, and the book in her hand remained on the page she opened at the beginning, and she couldn't read a word.
Ji Qinghe didn't come out for a long time, which made Ye Ronghuan wonder if he was drunk and died inside.
Frowning, she got out of bed and went over to knock on the door.
"Ji Qinghe?"
After a while, someone inside answered, with a little sleepiness, "Hmm, wife, what's wrong?"
"What are you doing? Why haven't you come out yet?"
She turned the doorknob and found that the door was not locked, so she opened the door.
Then I saw that Ji Qinghe was lying in the bathtub sleepy-eyed.
ββ¦β¦ Are you trying to drown yourself?"
"If I drown, won't you be a widow? Ji Qinghe smiled and got up from the bathtub.
Ye Ronghuan looked at him angrily, "Dry yourself and go out to sleep." β
Just as he was about to turn around, his gaze suddenly froze on his neck.
Ji Qinghe was wiping the water on his body with a towel, but he didn't notice her abnormality, and when he casually put the bathrobe on his body and turned his head, he found that there was something wrong with her expression.
"What's wrong?" Ji Qinghe thought she was still angry, and the bathrobe strap was not tied, so he stepped forward to hug her, took her out, kissed her several times sticky, and pitifully admitted his mistake to her: "I drank two more glasses when I was socializing, and I was a little sleepy, so I wanted to take a nap, and it didn't take a few minutes, you just didn't call me, I'm going to come out, don't be angry, okay?"
Ye Ronghuan didn't speak, and his body was a little stiff.
When Ji Qinghe was about to take her to bed, she suddenly stiffly pulled away his hand, and then pushed him away.
Her ugly face made Ji Qinghe stunned for a moment, and said cautiously: "What's wrong?"
Ye Ronghuan raised his head and stared at him, "What kind of entertainment are you doing tonight?"
"An important customer of the company, what's wrong?" Ji Qinghe seemed to be very puzzled.
"Oh, who's going with you?"
"Secretary Luo of the company, you also know each other, what's wrong?"
Ye Ronghuan stared at him and didn't speak.
Ji Qinghe was furious when he saw it, and he was half frightened by drunkenness, blinked his eyes, and looked at her a little innocently, "Wife, what's wrong?"
Seeing that she didn't speak, he hugged him again, and said in a voice full of sleepiness: "I'm so sleepy, shall we go to sleep?"
Ye Ronghuan pushed him away again.
The curvature of the corners of Ji Qinghe's mouth condensed, "...... Rong Huan?"
Ye Ronghuan's gaze moved down and landed on his neck, she reached out and pulled his bathrobe apart, and her slightly cool fingers touched the red mark on his neck, "What is this?"
There was a simple doubt in her eyes: "This is made by Secretary Luo?" But I remember that Secretary Luo seems to be a man. β
Ji Qinghe's body instantly stiffened when her hand touched his skin.
His face changed a few times, as if he remembered something, and then his expression was a little reluctant, "What's on my neck?"
Ye Ronghuan glanced at him, walked away a few steps, and brought a small vanity mirror to clearly illuminate the red mark on his neck.
Ji Qinghe's gaze froze for a moment when he saw the scene in the mirror.
For a moment, he said: "What is this? I don't know, it may have been bitten by mosquitoes, there are a lot of green plants in the place ordered by the customer, there are a lot of mosquitoes, and I don't know when I was recruited." β
Ye Ronghuan didn't speak.
If it was before, she might still believe it, but now that she is a woman who is about to give birth, how can she not even see the kiss marks, let alone the tooth marks on it so clearly.
She was still staring at Ji Qinghe, waiting for him to confess.
But Ji Qinghe seemed to have made up his mind to pretend to be confused to the end, "I remember that there seems to be ointment in the drawer?
Ye Ronghuan continued to be silent.
When Ji Qinghe was frightened, she suddenly smiled, turned around and took out a salve from the drawer, "What mosquito bites people so poisonously, don't go to that place next time to talk about business." β
She applied the ointment to him with her own hands, and the cold touch made Ji Qinghe almost can't help jumping away.
ββ¦β¦ Okay, I'm going to definitely not go to that house next time. β
"Alright. Ye Ronghuan withdrew his hand and put the ointment away.
"Then let's sleep. Ji Qinghe didn't hug Ye Ronghuan again this time, he even went around to the other side of the bed as if he was fleeing, and went to bed first.
When Ye Ronghuan went up, he didn't take her into his arms like a clingy spirit like before, and he didn't want to let go.
Ye Ronghuan was lying beside him, tilting his head, and saw him turn over and turn his back to her.
Ye Ronghuan laughed, sounding like a sneer, Ji Qinghe almost couldn't help but fight a cold war.
"What are you doing lying so far away?"
Ji Qinghe didn't respond immediately, and after two or three seconds, he spoke out in a daze: "Hmm, wife, what did you say?"
He turned, but still didn't get closer.
Ye Ronghuan stared at him and saw that he had his eyes closed, as if he was very sleepy and had fallen asleep.
But his acting skills are obviously not very good, Ye Ronghuan saw his eyelashes tremble several times, and his handsome face was also tightly tensed.
She looked at it for a long time, then suddenly withdrew her gaze, and also rolled over, turned her back to him, and closed her eyes.
The position between the two is enough to lie down Ji Qinghe again.
No one spoke anymore, and the atmosphere in the room was unusually tense in the quiet of the night.
After a while, Ji Qinghe opened his eyes and saw Ye Ronghuan who was far away from him, and he felt a little uncomfortable.
He rubbed over slowly and cautiously shouted, "Wife?"
Ye Ronghuan didn't answer, as if he was already asleep.
Ji Qinghe stretched out his hand and wanted to hug her from the back door, but as soon as he put his hand up, he was picked up.
Ji Qinghe was stunned for a moment, and said with some flattery: "Wife, you didn't sleep?"
Ye Ronghuan ignored him.
"What's wrong with you? mad at me? Don't ignore me. Ji Qinghe was pitiful, stretched out his hand again, and was opened again.
He said with some frustration: "Okay, I'll confess to you, don't ignore me, okay?"
Ye Ronghuan didn't speak.
"Wife?"
Seeing that Ye Ronghuan was still silent, Ji Qinghe was about to stop talking, but suddenly heard Ye Ronghuan's extremely sober voice: "Say, I'm waiting for you to confess, why don't you say it?"
Ji Qinghe felt that Ye Ronghuan Qing Lingling's voice seemed to dominate his heartbeat, and his heart followed her speed of speech, beating again and again, with no regularity at all, and it seemed like it could pop out at any time.
"That's ......" he said a little unspeakably, "One of today's customers is a woman, and she can be my mother at an age, but her personality is very unrestrained, isn't she all drinking too much, she may have recognized the wrong person, so she ......"
"So you were forcibly kissed by an old woman?" Ye Ronghuan said quietly.
"No, no!" Ji Qinghe hurriedly said, "It's not the mouth that kisses, it can't be counted!"
"Heh, it's not the mouth that kisses, it's a pity to listen to your tone?" Ye Ronghuan sneered.
"How could I say that?" Ji Qinghe was aggrieved, "I was so frightened, but I didn't dare to tell you when I came back, for fear that you would dislike me, yes, I am an unclean man now, so you dislike me, don't like me, don't feel sorry for me, and don't want to comfort me." β
He used to be pitiful in front of Ye Ronghuan like this, but this time Ye Ronghuan was indifferent, and stuck a knife in his heart, "Yes, you are a dirty man, I don't like it anymore." β
Ji Qinghe: "......"
Ji Qinghe felt a heavy blow.
He reached out to hug her, but was picked up by Ye Ronghuan again, "Stay away from me." β
ββ¦β¦ Do you really think I'm dirty?"
"Yes. β
Ji Qinghe: "......"
This night, the two did not sleep together.
When he woke up the next morning, as soon as Ye Ronghuan opened his eyes, he saw Ji Qinghe next to him with a resentful face.
"Why haven't you been to the office yet?" she yawned and sat up from the bed.
"I'm in a bad mood and don't want to work. β
He looked like "come and coax me, come and coax me", Ye Ronghuan couldn't see it, and got out of bed and went into the bathroom by himself.
Ji Qinghe seemed to have made up his mind to play to the end, and there was no restraint at the breakfast table, and the old man looked at it indescribably.
Although he told Ye Ronghuan that he didn't want to work, but in the end, he was the leader of a company, and he couldn't be so willful, and seeing that Ye Ronghuan didn't mean to coax him at all after the meal, Ji Qinghe could only get out of the car with an expressionless face.
The servants of the Ji family all knew that the two were having an awkward quarrel, and when they saw Ji Qinghe's appearance, they covered their mouths and snickered.
And no one saw that after Ji Qinghe got into the car, the expression on his face slowly changed.
He leaned back in his seat a little tiredly, raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows, but he couldn't rub the blue and black under his eyes.
He didn't actually sleep all night last night.
"Ji Shao?" Assistant Tang had been waiting in the car for a long time, and when he saw Ji Qinghe like this, he cautiously called him.
Ji Qinghe opened his eyes, and his eyes were unfathomable.
"She'll call you later. He said.
Assistant Tang was stunned, "Young lady?"
"Hmm. Ji Qinghe said, "What should I say you know?"
Looking at Ji Qinghe from the rearview mirror, Assistant Tang instantly sat up straight and responded, "I know." β
Ji Qinghe closed his eyes again, and returned to his expressionless appearance, but he was aggrieved and complaining before, but at this time he was calm and intimidating.
The car drove to the company, and Ji Qinghe got out of the car and strode into the elevator and went to the office.
He put all his attention into his work, and after an unknown amount of time, the mobile phone next to him rang, he looked up, retracted his gaze, finished the work in hand, and then answered the phone when the ring was about to end.
"Qinghe. Yuan Ruike's voice was gentle and smiling, "Where are you now?"
"Something?" Ji Qinghe's voice was low and condensed, without a trace of emotion.
Yuan Ruike didn't care at all, she said: "I have something to give you, I originally planned to give it to you last night, but I didn't expect to forget, do you have time now?"
Ji Qinghe didn't answer, and said bluntly: "Address." β
Yuan Ruike gave the name of a restaurant, this place Ji Qinghe has been to, and the one he took with Ye Ronghuan was a couple's restaurant.
Ji Qinghe didn't call the driver, and drove over by himself.
Yuan Ruike had already arrived, and she opened a private room, upstairs.
Ji Qinghe entered, she stood up and said, "Take off your coat, be more comfortable." β
Ji Qinghe sat down opposite her, just pulled his tie casually, and unbuttoned his shirt again.
"I really want to go downstairs," Yuan Ruike said, "There are only two of us in the private room, do you feel too lonely?"
Ji Qinghe glanced up at her and didn't speak.
Yuan Ruike is too lonely, she just wants to show her intimacy with Ji Qinghe in front of others, but she knows that now is not the time, if she really does that, Ji Qinghe will probably be angry.
Seeing that Ji Qinghe didn't respond, she stopped in moderation and changed the topic with interest: "I ordered some dishes, can you see if there is anything to add?"
She reported the names of the dishes she ordered to Ji Qinghe one by one.
Ji Qinghe leaned back in his chair and was using his mobile phone to deal with affairs.
Most of the dishes Yuan Ruike ordered were ordered according to his taste, probably expecting him to give a reaction.
But Ji Qinghe didn't speak, as if he hadn't heard it, but Yuan Ruike knew that Ji Qinghe was completely capable of using several things, and it was impossible not to hear what she said.
She was a little unhappy, but she couldn't help but say nothing.
"I'm sorry last night, I didn't mean to, I was just drunk, Qinghe, are you angry?" Yuan Ruike said suddenly.
Ji Qinghe finally stopped his movements and raised his head, but there was only a coldness in his eyes, "You called me here just to talk to me about this nonsense?"
Yuan Ruike showed a sad look, "I know you're angry, but you're ......"
"I promised her, but that doesn't mean I'll tolerate you indefinitely. Ji Qinghe interrupted her without a trace of emotion, "I don't want that to happen again last night, if you use that kind of means against me again - you know, I am sometimes very impulsive and don't care about anything." β
Yuan Ruike's face changed.
She knew what Ji Qinghe meant, and she knew that what she did last night made him angry.
She was depressed in her heart, but she couldn't help but accept Ji Qinghe's threat, because she knew that his words were not said casually, and if he was "impulsive", the consequence might be that she would not gain anything, and she would lose something, in short, she would definitely not be able to accept the result.
Ji Qinghe looked at the grievances and sadness on Yuan Ruike's face, and a trace of disgust flashed in his eyes.
He didn't know if it was deliberately designed for him to be so drunk last night, but Yuan Ruike took the opportunity to pretend to be Ye Ronghuan - the same hairstyle, the same clothes, and the same perfume as Ye Ronghuan, and then took the opportunity to coax him, it must have been premeditated.
Although Yuan Ruike didn't succeed in the end, the mark left on his neck had already made him very angryβnot to mention that Ye Ronghuan found out.
Yuan Ruike took out a box, opened it and handed it to Ji Qinghe, "I bought it for you on purpose, and I picked it for two days." β
Inside is a men's watch, interestingly, exactly the same as the one worn on Ji Qinghe's wrist.
The one on his wrist was bought by Ye Ronghuan for him, and when they went to the mall together, he pestered her to ask her to give him a gift, she didn't know whether she was attentive or randomly chosen, and finally bought this watch, Ji Qinghe liked it very much, and has been wearing it ever since.
"Would you like to put it on?" said Yuan Ruike, "It must be very suitable for you." β
After a pause, she said: "This is the birthday gift I specially selected for you this year in advance, if you wear it every day, I will be very happy." β
Ji Qinghe pulled his lower lip and squinted with a sneer.
If someone else said this, it would be just a pure expectation, but Yuan Ruike said it differently.
Ji Qinghe knew that if he didn't put this watch on, he would definitely receive a call from his mother after leaving this restaurant.
Yuan Ruike bit his lip, a little embarrassed and a little weak-hearted to avoid his gaze.
Ji Qinghe's eyes were terrifying, and he took out the watch and replaced the one on his wrist.
Yuan Ruike showed a happy smile.
She stretched out her hand to get the watch that Ji Qinghe had replaced, "Don't you want this one, right?" I'll help you ......."
Before he touched the watch, his wrist was grabbed by Ji Qinghe, and he was so powerful that he seemed to be able to crush her bones.
Yuan Ruike's face turned pale in pain, "Qinghe ......"
"As I said, I'm willing to tolerate it, but don't do it. Ji Qinghe smiled on his face, but his eyes were terrifyingly cold.
As soon as Yuan Ruikefu met his gaze, he was shocked and stiffened, as if his blood was cold.
She smiled a little ugly, "Qinghe, I don't mean anything else, I just want to help you keep it first." β
Ji Qinghe let go of her hand, and there was a circle of marks on her wrist.
The hand seemed to be broken, and it hurt so badly that Yuan Ruike withdrew his hand as if he was hiding from something, and he felt palpitations, and he didn't dare to look at the watch again.
The dishes came up, but Ji Qinghe didn't eat this meal with Yuan Ruike, he put away the changed watch and got up to leave.
"Qinghe!" Yuan Ruike stood up and called him pleadingly, Ji Qinghe didn't look back, and his footsteps didn't stop.
Ye Ronghuan called Assistant Tang and asked Ji Qinghe's customer last night, and learned that there was indeed a woman like Ji Qinghe said.
She hung up the phone and called Shao Chongshan again.
After a while, Shao Chongshan said: "Oh, that woman, I know! But this aunt is not very self-aware, I don't know where the confidence comes from, and she even said that she wants to develop a relationship with Qinghe, cough, and almost laughed to death!"
"Auntie has a lot of gossip, and she can be listed as the strangest person I've ever met!
"Don't listen. Ye Ronghuan crossed the river and demolished the bridge, and hung up the phone very neatly.
Shao Chongshan: "......"
Ye Ronghuan leaned on the recliner, squinted and took a nap, and then opened his eyes, his eyes were clear.
She stood up and was about to go back to the bedroom to take a nap, when Aunt He came over and said, "Ji Shao is back." β
