C47

After Lin Qingrou returned home, she threw her clothes on the sofa and scattered her luggage on the floor. She felt extremely tired, and couldn't wait to wash up before lying down on her bed and falling asleep.

It was probably because she was too tired that she slept so deeply that she didn't hear it even after her phone rang for a long time the next morning …

Because it was his day off, Liu Yuxi had gotten up early with great difficulty, preparing to go shopping with Lin Manshou. Unexpectedly, his phone calls were all busy.

"What? He didn't pick up the phone. He clearly said that he would be home today."

She muttered as she found her way to the house and started knocking on the door.

After a few minutes, there was finally a intermittent voice from the room: "Who is it?"

Liu Yuxi said helplessly, "Of course it's me! Otherwise, who else would it be? "

As he spoke, the door slowly opened. Liu Yuxi looked disdainfully at Lin Qingrou's disheveled hair and tired face, and quickly reached out his hand to help her into the bedroom.

"Are you on a business trip or are you working for someone else? Why are you so tired? " Liu Yuxi asked.

Lin Qingrou yawned, then she washed her face and looked at her messy luggage and clothes on the floor. She said helplessly, "If being a workman can help me turn the tables around, then I'd rather be a workman."

Liu Yuxi helped her pack up the items and placed them in a cupboard. Lin Qingrou looked at him with envy. "Such a good wife and a good mother. If anyone marries you in the future, that person will truly die from happiness."

Liu Yuxi gave her a supercilious look, tossing Lin Manshou's outer garment and dress onto her body.

"Don't give me a high hat, change your clothes first, and then go shopping with me.

Lin Qingrou had slept soundly that night, so she was in an exceptionally good mood. She quickly changed into a fresh set of clothes and put on makeup before accompanying Liu Yuxi to the city center.

As the two of them walked around the jewelry counter, Liu Yuxi asked, "Did Ye Qingming know you'd returned from a business trip?"

Lin Qingrou shook her head, "I didn't tell him. He thought it would be a few days before I return. To be honest, I don't really want to see him right now, so I'm not sure if I dare to or really don't. "

Liu Yuxi said as he tried out a diamond ring. Under the light of the lamp, a small diamond suddenly shone with a bright light. It was just as the book said: every diamond contained a pure and pure world.

"You guys are really something. If you want me to say Ye Qingming, then you're really pitiful."

"He's pitiful? "Who are you talking to?"

"Alright, alright, alright. I'm not talking anymore. Didn't I just go along with what you said?" This ring is also good to look at. Let me take a look! "

As they spoke, they went around the counter and tried out a lot of jewelry and jewelry. In the end, Liu Yuxi's hands and legs ached from the pain, and he was finally willing to give up.

Liu Yuxi sighed, "When women are in a bad mood, they can only take a stroll to heal the wounds on our hearts."

Lin Qingrou looked at her, "What now? "I'm in a bad mood."

Liu Yuxi smiled. Looking at the bag in her hands and then at the clothes she was wearing, she said rather helplessly, "Now, it seems that every time I buy something, I will remember what Zhou Yuan said to me that day. Then I thought about it, and I thought he was right. If I hadn't been adopted to the Liu family, maybe my current life would have been similar to his. The first thing he thought of when he opened his eyes was to repay the loan. When he went to work, he wanted to curry favor with his boss to see the results. When he got home, he had to take care of his parents and clean up his house. "They probably won't go to the restaurant more than once a month, not to mention the expensive clubhouse we went to last time."

Lin Qingrou didn't know how to comfort Liu Yuxi. Although she had only known Zhou Yuan for a short period of time, Zhou Yuan's words had already dealt a great blow to her world value view of money and values. This wasn't a knot in her heart that could be easily resolved with just a few words.

However, Lin Qingrou still said, "No matter what he said, you are you, and no one can change it. Can you change? Could he, Zhou Yuan, change? Or could your old man send you back to the orphanage? To be honest, you are yourself right now, a child of the Liu family. Whether poor or expensive is a good or bad thing, you have to bear it. You can't just deny yourself just because of a few words of someone else. What's more, I don't think Zhou Yuan was that right. A person cannot deny all the rights to desire and enjoy for the sake of their current location, isn't this a bit too inferior? "

Liu Yuxi finally smiled, and wrapped her arms around Lin Qingrou, "You know me the best. Waiter, help me wrap this ring up."

Lin Qingrou, "... Well, I see. Your perception of the world is already so strong that no matter who it is, it cannot be shaken. "

Liu Yuxi giggled, looking around in a good mood. Suddenly, she was stunned on the spot. She pointed at the two people not far away and stammered, unable to say a word.

Lin Qingrou patted her shoulder, "What's wrong?"

Liu Yuxi's eyes did not budge as he looked at Lin Manshou and stammered, "You …" Do you know who that is? "

Lin Qingrou followed her finger, and the two of them seemed to sense the gaze that was directed at them. Four pairs of eyes, four pairs of eyes, and countless other emotions collided in the air.

Lin Qingrou was surprised, but she didn't know what to say.

Liu Yuxi regretted it. If she knew earlier, she would have left earlier, or she wouldn't have come to this shopping mall to shop.

Ye Qingming was surprised. He didn't think that Lin Qingrou, who he had told him was on a business trip, would meet him here.

Quan Wei was gloating. She had one arm wrapped around Ye Qingming's arm, while Weiwei lifted the corner of her mouth. She looked at Lin Qingrou's flabbergasted expression like a victor.

After a long while, Liu Yuxi finally said, "What do we do now? Should we go up and greet them?"

Lin Qingrou didn't speak for a long time. She looked at Ye Qingming and then at Quan Wei.

"Forget it." "No," she said.

At this moment, the waiter had already wrapped up the ring. He gently said to Liu Yuxi from behind, "Your ring is already wrapped."

Liu Yuxi came back to her senses. After receiving the bag, she steeled her heart and walked up to Ye Qingming and Quan Wei. She coldly looked at Ye Qingming, then said to Quan Wei, "I have something to say to you."

Quan Wei carelessly ruffled her hair. "But I don't have anything to say to you."

Liu Yuxi looked at her with disdain, "I'll wait for you at the coffee shop downstairs. If you don't want to come, then think about it yourself. Anyway, we haven't seen each other in a long time, and it seems like there are still a lot of secrets that we can share, right? "

The expression on Quan Wei's face changed slightly, but she still maintained her arrogant attitude. She let go of Ye Qingming's hands and left the area with Liu Yuxi after looking at Lin Qingrou.

Lin Qingrou looked at Ye Qingming, hesitating as to whether she should go up to him.

Ye Qingming looked at Lin Qingrou's worried expression from a distance. In the end, he took the initiative to walk up. He asked calmly, "Let's find a place to talk?"

Lin Qingrou crossed her arms in front of her and nodded.

The two of them sat at the outdoor drinks store on the top floor of the shopping mall. Lin Qingrou subconsciously looked at the decorations around her and the beautiful scene in midair. She didn't know there was actually such a place.

However, she didn't have the heart to observe such a beautiful and special scenery. She had to face Ye Qingming.

However, perhaps because he felt Lin Qingrou's nervousness, Ye Qingming did not say anything at first. He quietly waited for the gentle breeze to gradually blow away the awkward atmosphere between the two of them, and then slowly said, "I didn't expect that you would come back so early."

Lin Qingrou gripped the cup tightly. The cold sensation seeped into her heart and she could not help but shiver.

"Actually, I should have returned yesterday. I was lying to you at that time."

Ye Qingming looked at her with a smile that wasn't a smile. He didn't scold her, but he didn't say that it didn't matter.

Lin Qingrou asked, "When you called that day, did you have anything you wanted to say?"

Thinking about this, Ye Qingming raised his eyebrows. He put his hands together on the table and shook his fingers.

"Speaking of which, it's just a small matter. It's not worth mentioning. He came to see me the other day after he divorced his wife. and asked me a question. "

"What would you do if you found out that your wife had cheated you?"

"At that time, I did not think too much into it. I only felt that it was a private matter between two people, so no matter how others guessed, they would still not be involved. So that day, I just wanted to ask you, what do you think he should do? "

Lin Qingrou looked at Ye Qingming. She could only feel a chill coming from the bottom of her heart.

What did he mean? Was he trying to test her after finding out something? However, right now, she was like a floating log floating on the surface of the sea, completely helpless.

After thinking for a while, she slowly said, "My thoughts are about the same as yours. After all, this is a matter between the two of them, so no matter what, we are still outsiders. Besides, as a woman with his wife, I had to find some compelling reasons for her. Just as you say that your friend is clean. "

"I have to …" "Fine." Ye Qingming laughed in a low voice as if he felt that this word had an infinite meaning.

Lin Qingrou glared at him, though Ye Qingming did not say anything. However, in Lin Qingrou's eyes, he was already unrestrainedly probing her. As a result, even if he didn't know everything, he would still have sensed it. What would he do next? Would he tell himself to cancel the wedding? Or was it forcing her to interrogate him step by step, or finding all the evidence and putting it in front of her without any way to defend herself? Lin Qingrou took a sip of water. The icy feeling slid down her throat and slowly flowed into her body. She felt even colder.

Ye Qingming took a deep breath. He took out a key from his pocket and handed it to Lin Qingrou.

"This is the key to my house. You should have one, too. When you have time, go take a look. The furnishings in my house were all done by myself when I first went in. If we were to get married, I'm afraid you wouldn't like it. "

She had never been to Ye Qingming's house before. After asking her about these things, he suddenly gave her the key to his house. Did that mean that Lin Qingrou's answer didn't make him feel anything amiss? Or perhaps it was more accurate to say that he already had a plan, and didn't care at all about what Lin Qingrou said.

She held the cold key in her hand and looked left and right.

"You just want to ask me a ridiculous question before giving me the key?"

Lin Qingrou looked at him with a complicated expression. She kept that question in her heart and didn't say it.

Ye Qingming watched as she put the key back into his bag silently. He asked in satisfaction, "Since you've already taken the key, when are you planning to go take a look?"

Lin Qingrou stared at him curiously. She was surprised that Ye Qingming would be able to chat and laugh with her so casually if he had noticed! Shouldn't Ye Qingming be forcing her to tell him the truth in order to prevent himself from being tricked by Lin Qingrou?

Lin Qingrou felt as if she was caught between the edge of a blade. She was both nervous and worried, afraid that if she wasn't careful, she would lose everything.

As she thought about this, her gaze towards Ye Qingming gradually turned full of caution and coldness.

Lin Qingrou said solemnly, "If I want to go, I'll let you know in advance."

"Alright." Ye Qingming nodded meaningfully.

Lin Qingrou changed the topic and asked, "You were out shopping with Quan Wei today?"

Ye Qingming looked at her and carefully observed the expression in her eyes. It was as if he had wanted to find traces of jealousy or dissatisfaction within, but he had not expected Lin Qingrou to look at him with such calmness. It was as if she had already expected it, but deep down in her serenity, there was still a deep sense of contempt.
