The awkward atmosphere pervaded the living room as Gong Qin and Zong Shuyuan sat together on the sofa.
Xia Yu took the initiative to say that she would like to make tea, and walked into the kitchen, where there was only the two of them in the living room.
Gong Qin found it hard to sit still as this was the first time he had felt such a strange sensation. The person sitting beside him was Xia Yu's father, which meant to say … It was someone he should respect.
"How long have you and Xia Yu been married?"
"Probably... Seven months. " Gong Qin opened his mouth to reply, but he did not know what to say.
"Seven months..."
Zong Shuyuan's expression turned cold, "There have been a lot of news recently. Abortion, kidnapping …. And there's even a childhood sweetheart, Ming Ruowei? " These pieces of news could appear just by searching for them, and it was written in an exaggerated manner. When Zong Shuyuan saw this news, he felt like shattering it. Was it correct to give his daughter to such a person?
"..." Gong Qin could not refute all of this. He had no way to refute the fact that Xia Yu was injured.
"I thought of taking her abroad."
Zong Shuyuan quietly opened his mouth, "Take her away from this place, give her the best conditions, and treat it as your regret for her until now …" Zong Shuyuan raised his head and looked at the huge oil painting. The lady on top smiled gently. His eyes became more and more misty, softer. "But …" She wants to believe you and stay with you. "
"Xia Yu, she …"
"Of course."
Zong Shuyuan turned around and looked at Gong Qin, "If she is willing to follow me, I will take her away without hesitation."
"I won't!"
Gong Qin's expression was ice-cold. "I won't let her go! I won't let her leave me again! "
"That's the best."
Zong Shuyuan laughed softly. Seeing Gong Qin's serious expression, he felt at ease. Gong Qin was not the mischievous fellow that the news had mentioned. At the very least, it would seem that he cared about Xia Yu at the moment. Xia Yu trusted him a lot as well.
"What are you talking about?"
Xia Yu carried some tea over and saw two people talking about something.
"Nothing."
At night, under Zong Shuyuan's invitation, the two prepared to stay here for the day. Seeing Zong Shuyuan's lonely appearance, Xia Yu couldn't help but agree.
"How is the matter that I asked you to inquire about?"
In a secluded corner, Gong Qin was talking on the phone with someone.
"I've already made an appointment. The earliest would be two months later."
"Two months …" "Sure." The corner of Gong Qin's mouth curled up slightly as he lifted his face to look at the bright starry sky. He could still afford to wait for such a short amount of time. What happened over there? "
He was stunned for a moment before asking.
Usually, Gong Qin would not ask too much about other people, but his situation was indeed strange, and people couldn't help but pay attention to him.
"It's okay, boss."
Chen Qing opened her mouth to conceal it, and even laughed dryly, "This can be done, but must I still keep this a secret from the Miss Xia?"
"Of course, we can't let her know."
"Alright."
After hanging up, Chen Qing took a deep breath. In order to make up to Xia Yu, Gong Qin had to secretly prepare for the wedding ceremony. Not the last formal wedding, but the one that really belonged to them.
"A wedding..."
When Chen Qing was mentioned, her eyes dimmed and she held her phone tightly.
Suddenly, his phone buzzed, and a message was sent over, it was from Song Jingrui.
"Song Jingrui?" Chen Qing quickly opened the message and saw that Song Jingrui had arranged to meet her at a barbeque stall. She couldn't help but cut her off, "We aren't familiar with each other, so why did you insist on looking for me?"
That was what she said, but she quickly put on some makeup and made up for it. Afterwards, she took a taxi and rushed over.
Song Jingrui...
If he could find her, did that mean he cared about her? There was a trace of anticipation in Chen Qing's heart, and it was precisely because she couldn't let go of it that this expectation was infinitely magnified, causing her to be captivated by Song Jingrui like a moth to a flame.
The barbeque store was in a mess. There were all kinds of people drinking wine, and it was extremely noisy.
Chen Qing walked past many tables, and finally saw Song Jingrui at a corner. The table was already filled with empty wine bottles, and it was unknown how many bottles he had drank by himself.
"Why did you call me out?" Chen Qing immediately pulled out a chair and sat opposite of Song Jingrui.
At this time, Song Jingrui's eyes were a little blurry and everything he looked at was blurry. He stared at Chen Qing seriously for a good while, then laughed foolishly as he pointed at Chen Qing and said, "It's you … "How could it be you? I clearly …" Song Jingrui muttered. He was clearly … Wait, that's not right. Song Jingrui's face darkened all of a sudden.
Gu Chengcheng was already gone.
She only had that man in her heart … She won't come again.
"What's wrong?"
Chen Qing did not understand, "To think that I came to see you, are you disdaining me?"
"No …." Song Jingrui shook her head, then took out the new cup and placed it in front of Chen Qing, and poured her a cup of white wine, "Since you are here, then accompany me to have a drink!"
"We won't leave until we're drunk!"
"Wait, I don't know how to drink …" Chen Qing waved her hand. She did not know how to drink, and she had heard a few complaints from her friends that her alcohol was too bad. Even she didn't know what she would do when she was drunk, so it was better not to drink.
"I don't care, I'll protect you!" "If you're drunk, I'll carry you back. Don't worry!"
Song Jingrui laughed and said, as he poured himself a cup.
His stomach felt like it was on fire, but what was worse than that was his heart. He had never felt that liking a person was such a painful thing.
Seeing Song Jingrui drink one cup after another, Chen Qing was afraid that something would happen to him. She said, "Alright, I'll drink with you!"
They should be able to control themselves a little bit if they were to drink it together. If he was allowed to drink it himself, he might have to vomit blood.
… ….
Chen Qing didn't know how much she had drank, but she felt dizzy.
"Song Jingrui..." She could not help but laugh foolishly as she looked at the person in front of her.
"Song Jingrui... Song Jingrui... "
"She kept shouting for the people in front of her, wanting to spit out everything she had endured and never said." "You drank too much, and I drank too much too …"
Oh, so disgusting.
Chen Qing got up and prepared to go to the bathroom, but she suddenly felt sore in her stomach.
Chen Qing's figure staggered, she could not walk in a straight line, and before she could take two steps, she bumped into the table next door. She placed her hands on the table, barely able to stabilize her body. I'm sorry... "I feel a little dizzy …" Chen Qing smiled apologetically.
"You're done just because you apologized?"
When the man raised his head and saw Chen Qing's appearance, a trace of emotion flashed across his face.
He extended his hand and grabbed Chen Qing's wrist, "Seeing how drunk you are, where are you going, I'll send you there."
