170, is my wife your woman?
Zijin's cautious and very cautious appearance of texting was directly reflected in Qiao Jinglian's eyes through the smooth wall of the elevator.
She didn't know how ironic she was in Qiao Jinglian's eyes at the moment.
Qiao Jinglian is not a fool, a person like the pride of the sky, and a person who stands on a high place, sometimes he is just too lazy to care, but when he really puts his mind on a person, how can he not feel the other party's every move?
He took his wife out to dinner, and his wife was standing behind him, thinking she didn't know anything, and was carefully texting with her phone.
Oh, who is she reporting her whereabouts?
Gu Yanshen?
β¦β¦β¦β¦
The hands on her side clenched subconsciously, Qiao Jinglian's eyes sank on the mirror on the elevator wall, watching Zijin finish the text message, and her face was tangled, the two slender eyebrows were slightly twisted, she seemed to be a little uneasy, and Qiao Jinglian felt even more ridiculous.
It was as if she had never done this to herself.
I always thought that I was a woman I didn't like, but now I found out that the feeling of being above her all the time was just self-deception.
Because, from beginning to end, she was indeed as she had said to herself before - she had never taken herself to heart.
Qiao Jinglian looked at the numbers of the elevator, changing one by one, from the 28th floor to the number of B2, which was constantly declining, and he only felt that it was like his heart at this moment, which was also sinking with this frequency.
-- I can't say how much it hurts, but the uncomfortable feeling is getting worse and worse, like a vine entrenched on the tip of my heart, lingering.
The elevator arrived at the underground parking lot, and as soon as the double doors opened, Qiao Jinglian took a long step and walked out.
From beginning to end, he didn't know what to do, but the hands that were inserted into the pockets of his trousers were clenched tighter and tighter.
Zijin naturally didn't know that when she had just sent a text message, Qiao Jinglian's mind had already turned over, she followed him out of the elevator and walked to the edge of his champagne-colored Cayenne, seeing him open the door and prepare to get into the car, Zijin paused, and suddenly opened his mouth to stop his name, "Qiao Jinglian, wait a minute." β
Qiao Jinglian raised one eyebrow, held the car door with one hand, looked at her, and did not speak.
"Let's make it clear first."
Zijin didn't wait for him to say anything, and simply said, "...... You've told me several times before, but every time, you always can't get to the point, this time, you asked me to eat with you, I hope you can keep your promise, eat, just talk to me, what I want to talk about. β
"What do you want to talk about?"
Qiao Jinglian hooked her lips, but her curvature was a little cold, "What are you going to talk about?" β
"You know."
Zijin raised his neck, not afraid of Qiao Jinglian's cold gaze at the moment, and said word by word: "What I want to talk to you about, you know very well in your heart, if you are willing to talk to me, then I will get in the car and go to dinner with you, after dinner, we will make it clear at one time, if you are still the same as before...... Then I don't think it's necessary. β
Qiao Jinglian looked at Zijin with heavy eyes, and after a while, he chuckled, but in that smile, there was a bit of self-deprecation that was difficult to understand, his thin lips squirmed, and he only poured out two words, "Get in the car." β
Zijin watched him bend down and sit in the driver's seat, and secretly speculated in his heart - he didn't say anything just now.
Therefore, she still refused to get into the car. is so cautious, but also because she is in a hurry, she has told Qiao Jinglian several times before, and the divorce has never been followed, and when she found Qiao Shiyun, she was directly beaten back with a stick, and now she has no other choice but to turn back and work Qiao Jinglian's body.
But he didn't let go, and she felt that she didn't need to get in the car.
She didn't want to waste dauntless time.
Qiao Jinglian closed the car door, and didn't see Zijin get into the car, his thick eyebrows frowned slightly, he reached out and pressed the window, "I'll let you get in the car." β
"You promise me, I'll get in the car."
Qiao Jinglian looked at her for a moment, her deep eyes were full of too much coldness, and in the end, all the coldness condensed together, and she laughed angrily, "Okay, I promise you, you get in the car." β
Zijin's heart skipped a beat.
In fact, Qiao Jinglian had deviated from herself a few times before, and she was still a little jealous of him in her heart, but after thinking about it, these things can't be solved, if they are not solved, they will always drag on like this, and it is not like words. After all, she had to face it, she gritted her teeth, didn't give herself a chance to hesitate, and got into the car directly.
The moment the car door was closed, the car started quickly, Zijin didn't have time to fasten his seat belt, and couldn't help but exclaim, but Qiao Jinglian turned a deaf ear and stepped on the accelerator desperately, and when he arrived at the restaurant, Zijin's face was pale and pale.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
The manager of the restaurant naturally knew Qiao Jinglian, and when he saw Young Master Qiao and Young Grandma Qiao coming in together, he greeted him politely, and Qiao Jinglian directly ordered the manager to take them to the box upstairs.
As soon as Zijin heard the box, his heart suddenly tightened, and he opened his mouth and said, "No need, just downstairs-"
She stretched out her hand and pointed to the window not far away, "It's there, it's convenient." β
Qiao Jinglian, "............"
Don't go to the box, Zijin's idea is very simple, when she is alone, she is afraid that Qiao Jinglian will do something to her, so downstairs, or by the window, she feels that it is the safest.
No matter how uninhibited this man is, he will not behave to himself in a public place that is unacceptable to her.
The two sat down, and the waiter quickly sent the menu, Zijin didn't have much appetite at all, so he ordered a set meal casually, but he didn't want the waiter on the side to introduce it very dutifully, "Young Grandma Qiao, this package, we happen to be engaged in activities, you and Young Master Qiao can choose a candlelight dinner today, and this package will also have a piano or violin performance for the two ......"
Zijin, "............"
"Really?"
Qiao Jinglian folded her two long legs, holding her chin with one hand, compared to the gloomy handsome face when she was driving just now, at this moment, the emotions between his eyebrows were obviously not as tight as before. He seemed to be quite interested, and his long knuckled fingers gently rubbed his chin, "Then I want this couple's package." β
The waiter immediately smiled and nodded, "Yes, Young Master Qiao." β
Zijin's heart sank slightly, frowning and about to say something, Qiao Jinglian seemed to know what she wanted to say, reached out and pushed the plate in front of her, and spoke one step faster, "...... It's just a meal, it doesn't matter if it's a set meal or not, and everyone here knows my relationship with you, don't say anything that makes me embarrassed. β
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦β
Zijin is really speechless, what would make him embarrassed?
He didn't do anything less to "make her embarrassed" before, but now he looks like he only allows the governor to set fire to the people and does not allow the people to light the lamp.
But if you think 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, waited for the waiter to eat, she ate some with little interest, picked up the water glass on the side, took a shallow sip, and chose to speak first, "...... I'm almost done, I want to talk to you......"
"I haven't finished eating yet."
Qiao Jinglian didn't raise his head, but directly interrupted Zijin's words, and after a while, the knife and fork in his hand snapped and fell on the plate, he paused before he raised his head, and looked at Zijin with heavy eyes, "Are you in such a hurry?" Just having a meal with me and not seeing that I'm only halfway there? β
Zijin, "............"
On the piano table next to him, someone walked up, sat down, and soon began to play.
Beautiful and beautiful music seems to be able to make people feel happy, because it is a couple's package, and it is naturally a sweet song. Zijin doesn't realize it at all now, she is now thinking about it, she just wants to make it clear to Qiao Jinglian, in the shortest possible time.
"Qiao Jinglian, let's make it clear, okay?"
Zijin took a deep breath, and his slender fingers subconsciously twisted together, "I don't want to continue like this, in fact, continuing like this will not do any good to both of us, you should understand what I mean, I have already gone to my father before and told him about our divorce......"
"He agreed?"
A little surprised, I didn't expect that she would be so determined, thinking that she was just looking for herself first, but she didn't want to, she even looked for the old man. Qiao Jinglian had a feeling of falling straight to the bottom, and this feeling raged in his chest, making his emotions even more irritable.
"I don't agree."
Zijin said honestly, "So I want to talk to you about ......"
"What to talk about? Talking about divorce? β
Qiao Jinglian sneered, her fingers were slightly stronger, and she pushed away the half-eaten plate in front of her, the knife and fork fell on the table, and with a click, there seemed to be a light smile on his face, but the light under his eyes was clearly sharp, "Shen Zijin, do you really want to divorce me so much, huh?" You have to live without, don't you? β
"Yes."
Zijin was very calm, nodded and answered, "There are some things I don't want to repeat, Qiao Jinglian, in fact, there is no relationship between us at all, what's the point of going on like this?" β
"Is there no affection between us, or do you have feelings for Gu Yanshen?"
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦β
Qiao Jinglian looked straight at Zijin with her eyes, and asked word by word: "You want to divorce me so much, do you want to break off the relationship with the Qiao family?" So you tell me now, you and Gu Yanshen ...... How far has it got? β
Zijin's heart pounded, the man opposite, his eyes were deep, and every word revealed a bit of heavy strength, but he didn't know why, Zijin clearly heard another meaning from his tone, similar to compromise.
"Is it holding hands, kissing, or ...... Already out of bed? β
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦β
"Tell me, Shen Zijin, you tell me the truth, don't deceive with half a word."
Zijin's eyes trembled violently, she didn't expect that Qiao Jinglian would ask herself these questions, she was naturally uneasy in her heart, accompanied by a little panic. Probably this is the so-called "being a thief", of course, she is not afraid of Qiao Jinglian herself, but people have a sense of shame, and the relationship between her and Gu Yanshen cannot be announced in front of the world now, she is not a saint.
But when Qiao Jinglian asked like this, she didn't seem to be able to say casually, there was nothing.
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 she can't say anything.
Having said that, it is true that you can have a clear conscience, but what about the consequences?
She is not really so stupid, so naΓ―ve, the relationship between Gu Yanshen and the Qiao family is not as simple as she sees on the surface, Gu Yanshen is in the Qiao family, although he is sitting in the position of president, but Qiao Shiyun did not give him too many shares, and from Gu Yanshen's mouth, it can be known that he does not like the people of the Qiao family.
It seems that together with Qiao Shiyun, he disagrees.
But why did he come back to City C from England? People who don't like the Qiao family are willing to help the Qiao family take care of the company, and he has always been surnamed Gu for so long.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Zijin had never asked Gu Yanshen about these, but she knew it very well in her heart.
So, if she really admits something to Qiao Jinglian now, what will it become when the time comes?
She wasn't sure, she didn't dare to try, although she was worried that she would be scolded, but what she was more worried about now was Gu Yanshen.
It's just lying, it's not that he hasn't lied, at least this matter, before discussing it with him, Zijin always felt that he should be silent the most.
Thinking of this, she stabilized her emotions, looked at Qiao Jinglian calmly, and shook her head, "...... You think too much, Gu Yanshen and I don't have that kind of relationship, I don't know why you have to get involved with Gu Yanshen, maybe you fight with him so much, you feel that I am caught in the middle, as if I have something to do with anyone. Qiao Jinglian, now I'm just talking to you about the matter between us, don't involve a third party, okay? β
Maybe it's true, for such a topic, I have denied it too many times without blushing and heartbeat, so until now, I don't even feel nervous at all.
Qiao Jinglian's eyes flickered, because he was sitting facing the restaurant, he only needed to look up to see the people coming in and out of the restaurant. The "gift" of the couple's package, a piano piece has been played, and the person who plays the piano came over at this time and bowed slightly to Qiao Jinglian, "Young Master Qiao, I don't know if you are satisfied with what you just played?" β
The pianist's interjection naturally interrupted the conversation between the two, Zijin was a little impatient, every time the topic reached a critical moment, there would always be a moth, but she couldn't say more, she tightened her hands and sat there, silent.
Qiao Jinglian chuckled lightly, looking like a dissolute young master, "Don't you see my wife's face wrinkled?" She doesn't like it, you go up and play another song. β
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦β
The pianist's face was suddenly a little embarrassed, but because of Qiao Jinglian, he naturally didn't dare to attack casually, he coughed lightly, "...... Yes, then...... Young Master Qiao, what tune do you want to hear? β
"Wife, what do you want to hear?"
Zijin, "............"
I think he's boring enough, what the hell does he mean now? She was talking to him about the divorce, but he was talking to himself about the piano, she felt helpless, and felt that it was a wrong decision to come out with him today, she really shouldn't believe this man, it was too unreliable.
She stood up with a cold face, looked at the man leaning on the seat opposite, and said without emotion, "If you let me come out with you today to do such a purposeless thing, thenβforget it, I'll go back first." β
"Where are you going?"
Qiao Jinglian got up suddenly, stretched out her long arm, and directly grabbed Zijin's wrist, Zijin struggled, Qiao Jinglian held it tightly, he turned his face sideways, and said to the cannon fodder pianist who was still standing aside, very embarrassed, "...... Go play, I'll order the song now, can I play "Love Too Late"? β
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦β
Zijin's face changed, and she waited for the pianist to go away before she lowered her voice and asked with some annoyance: "Qiao Jinglian, what are you doing?" β
"Don't do anything, I think this song is more appropriate."
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦β
"Sit down, I'm not done yet!"
"What else do you have to say to me? I don't know what you're thinking, but it's boring, and every time you say you'll talk to me, but you don't listen to what I say...... Forget it, you let me go! β
"What you want to talk to me, and, what I want to talk to you, do you think it must be the same?"
Qiao Jinglian sneered, clearly in a cold and hard tone, but there was a bit of bitterness, "You will always tell me about divorce, what do I want to say to you, do you know?" β
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦β
Zijin's lips squirmed, but he didn't make a sound, Qiao Jinglian's eyes flickered, just past Zijin in front of him, and landed directly at the main entrance of the restaurant, someone hurriedly stepped forward and took the initiative to help open the door of the restaurant, and then saw a man in a black orthodox suit, with a steady step, coming in from the outside, and the man walking side by side with him was wearing a pink polka-dot shirt with a pair of light blue jeans underneath.
Two men of similar height, standing together, have completely different temperaments.
One is calm and introverted, with a mature charm in every gesture, and the other is suave, with spring in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows.
Qiao Jinglian raised one side of her eyebrows, her thin lips hooked strangely, seeing these two people appear here, he didn't seem surprised at all, but instead bypassed the dining table and stood directly by Zijin's side, regardless of her opposition, he reached out and directly hugged her thin waist, and hugged her whole person into his arms, a low male voice, which was completely different from the gentleness just now, "Do you have to be so angry with me?" Since the song just now is not good, let's change it to "Love You More Every Day"? β
Zijin, "............"
The two of them were still pulling and pulling here, and not far away, the two men who happened to be walking towards this side naturally saw the scene here.
Su Junyan was still chewing gum in his mouth, choking for a while, the chewing gum suddenly swallowed into his throat, he coughed twice, and his face turned red, "...... That one...... Am I not mistaken? Damn, my gum, damn it - in my stomach! β
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦β
He grabbed Gu Yanshen, his slender fingers, trembling a little comically, and pointed to Qiao Jinglian and Shen Zijin not far away, as if he had discovered a new continent, "...... It's really the two of them, Yan Shen, that kid doesn't want to live anymore, and he actually holds your woman, what are they doing? β
Gu Yanshen didn't say anything, and interjected. The hands in the pockets of the trousers were unconsciously clenched.
ββIn the scene not far away, the man was holding the woman's thin waist, and the two didn't know what they were talking about, pulling and pulling, but their bodies were tightly together......
His eyes flickered, he frowned, and stood still.
Compared with Gu Yanshen's calm and introverted, Su Junyan was obviously very excited, but this man was probably still holding the mentality of watching a good show, standing aside and shouting, "...... Yan Shen, damn me, have you seen it? Qiao Jinglian is this kid, he actually hugged Shen Zijin......"
As he spoke, he rubbed his abdomen and muttered, "I just swallowed the gum, I don't know if it will affect my appetite......"
The position where they stood was not very far from Qiao Jinglian and Zijin, this kind of high-end restaurant, the people who dined were all rich or expensive, and their own quality was good, so the restaurant was relatively quiet, and there was a man's voice behind him at this moment, which was extremely clear.
Qiao Jinglian had already seen Gu Yanshen and Su Junyan, but Zijin didn't know.
At this moment, she only heard someone behind her shouting "Yan Shen", her heart chuckled, and she only felt a sharp edge behind her, secretly screaming that it was not good - C City is really small, so you can touch it?
Thinking of the text message she just sent him, Zijin really wanted to go back in time, if she had known that this was the result, she would rather choose to reject Qiao Jinglian directly, even if it was to take 10,000 steps back, she would rather choose to enter the box with Qiao Jinglian, why did she have to choose such an eye-catching position?
β¦β¦β¦β¦
"Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao will arrive."
Qiao Jinglian deliberately stretched out her hand, held Zijin's face, put her thin lips on her cochlea, hooked her lips and smiled, sounding such a gentle voice, but every word was provocative, "I was talking about Gu Yanshen just now, this man is so coincidental, he actually came, it's better to do this, take the question I just asked you, ask him again, I really want to know if you and his answer are the same." β
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦β
She was flustered, and before she could say anything, Qiao Jinglian had already let go of her, but she didn't let go of her completely, but instead held her hand, regardless of her objections, pulled her and walked over to Gu Yanshen.
Su Junyan raised his eyebrows a little ruffianly and whistled, he touched Gu Yanshen on the side with his elbow, obviously gloating, "...... I'm going to provoke you directly, Hikoshen, you have to hold on. β
Su Junyan was originally dealing with the final matters 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 thought about going to Qiao's to arrest people directly, who knows, Mu Chenchu was not in Qiao's family, and in desperation, he found Gu Yanshen.
I originally thought that tonight's dinner would be a casual meal for two men, but I didn't expect to encounter such a wonderful scene here.
Not...... Does he have to prepare for it in a moment?
If Yan Shen and Qiao's prince make a move, will he choose to watch the play? Or should I help?
"It's really a coincidence that I don't meet in life, every time I take my wife out, I can always meet Mr. Gu, and people who don't know think that Mr. Gu installed something on my wife. What about traces. β
Qiao Jinglian swaggered and pulled Zijin, Zijin had been struggling, but the man's strength was greater than her, the two walked towards Gu Yanshen a little awkwardly, standing two steps away from him, Qiao Jinglian stood still, raised her eyebrows and said, the dark tide was surging.
Zijin really wanted to cry without tears, she shook it several times, but she couldn't shake off Qiao Jinglian's hand, and she didn't dare to stop her eyes on Gu Yanshen's body, just glanced at it in a hurry, and found that his eyes seemed to fall on ...... Not far away, they had just eaten at the table.
Zijin buzzed in the back of his head, remembering that the waiter had just given them a couple's meal, red wine and candles......
"There is a good saying, if it is yours, it must be yours, not yours, and it is useless to force it."
Gu Yan's deep eyes were heavy, and he fell on the hand where Qiao Jinglian was holding Zijin's hand, he hooked his lips, and the arc was cold, "Of course, if you have fate, you can always meet it." β
Su Junyan stood aside leisurely, and the moment he heard the words, he couldn't help but "poof", he hurriedly turned his face away and forced a smile.
I have always known that Gu Yanshen's mouth is occasionally very poisonous, but when it is time to deal with Qiao Jinglian, he is really strong.
"Really? You can't have a fate with me, so that means that you are my wife Qiao Jinglian, and you are destined to meet thousands of miles away? β
Qiao Jinglian sneered, reached out and let go of Zijin's wrist, directly hugged her shoulder, and pressed her into her arms, "It just so happens that we have fought several times for this matter, but I still can't figure it out, why are you so swearing?" Could it be that my wife is still your woman? β
Gu Yanshen's gaze fell on Zijin's face, he didn't make a sound, just stared at her for a moment.
Zijin was even more empty-hearted, the eyes of the man opposite were straight, sharp, like arrows, so that she had nothing to hide, lied, and was caught, she was indeed the wrong person, but now, she couldn't open her mouth to say anything.
Qiao Jinglian saw that Gu Yanshen didn't speak, just staring at the woman in his arms, his face sank, he stepped forward and stopped in front of Zijin, the entire restaurant was scattered, and there were also several tables of people sitting, at this time, his eyes were all aimed at this head, but Qiao Jinglian was like no one around, looking at Gu Yanshen's gaze, "But this question, I have already asked my wife just now, and her answer is - she Shen Zijin and you Gu Yanshen have no ambiguous relationship." β
"I'd like to hear it now, isn't that your answer?"
