After Escaping Marriage [GL] - Chapter 126

The driver Lao Li was sitting in the front driver’s seat and heard Yu Qingtang in the back seat talking about red bean buns, how soft the skin was, and how sweet the filling was, and he spoke in great detail, including pauses and exchanges. When asked, she was answering.

Lao Li was holding the steering wheel with both hands, confused.

I don’t understand today’s young people.

Lao Li sent Yu Qingtang to Cheng’s house, and before leaving, he said to Song Qingju: “Madam, it seems that Miss wants to eat red bean buns.”

“Huh?” Song Qingrou said, “Really? Okay, I see.”

So Cheng Zhanxi came to Cheng’s family’s dinner, and saw red bean buns on the table again. Their aunt Xiaoyun is a professional chef. The steamed buns are round and full, and the red bean filling is brightly colored on the top, which is very appetizing.

Cheng Yuanxi washed his hands and took one to eat when he entered the door.

Cheng Zhanxi: “…”

She sat down at the table and held up her chopsticks, feeling complicated.

After returning home, Cheng Zhanxi ate the red bean bun alone on the sofa, savoring it carefully, not letting go of any place, and was satisfied.

Yu Qingtang combed her long hair gently with five fingers and asked, “Are you tired from work?”

Cheng Zhanxi was eating, her voice was a little vague, and she said, “It’s okay.” She raised her head and said, “I met an acquaintance, I met an unfamiliar person.”

When talking about people she didn’t know, she paused imperceptibly, and frowned slightly, as if thinking of something bad, and immediately pushed her back and continued her food. She used the Cheng family’s dinner absent-mindedly, and she only touched one red bean bag, so she could feel at ease when she got home.

She concentrated on eating, and Yu Qingtang stopped interrupting, leaning into the sofa and closing her eyes, her heart heaving slowly and heavily.

After staying in the living room for a long time, the two returned to the room.

Yu Qingtang was a little tired, Cheng Zhanxi took her to the bathroom to take a shower, and then went back to sleep.

Now her sleep quality is comparable to that of Cheng Zhanxi. After Cheng Zhanxi cleaned up the bathroom, she was already asleep.

Cheng Zhanxi lay beside her, raised her cheek with one hand, and watched Yu Qingtang stretch her brows in the dream. She didn’t know what she was dreaming, and the corners of her lips rose slightly.

Cheng Zhanxi kissed her between the eyebrows, to the tip of her nose, and finally to the corner of her lips, kissing and kissing obsessively.

Yu Qingtang murmured.

Cheng Zhanxi was close to her auricle.

“baby.”

Yu Qingtang slept soundly, breathing sweetly.

Cheng Zhanxi’s eyes were gentle, his voice was low, and he shouted again, “wife.”

Yu Qingtang fell asleep and did not hear, so naturally he would not respond. But the warm blood in Cheng Zhanxi’s heart was hot in an instant. She didn’t know why she fainted in the middle of the night, but she put on a long coat and went out to the garage, and took up the ring in the trunk.

Taking advantage of Yu Qingtang’s unconsciousness in her sleep, she slowly pushed the base of her ring finger.

Turned left and right twice, very suitable.

The style also suits her slender fingers.

Cheng Zhanxi looked at it for a moment, and couldn’t help but smile, she carefully put Yu Qingtang’s hand into the bed, went to bed and turned off the light.

Tomorrow morning she will find that she has an extra diamond ring in her hand. According to Yu Qingtang’s character, he should go to the living room to find her, and then knowingly ask what it means, Cheng Zhanxi will take out the prepared flowers, kneel down on one knee and propose to her in the house where the flowers and balloons are arranged.

Wait, what about flowers and balloons?

Also, isn’t this kind of marriage proposal a bad street?

How could her mind come up with such a vulgar marriage proposal?

Cheng Zhanxi suddenly opened his eyes and took off the ring from Yu Qingtang’s hand.

Yu Qingtang let her play with it, not knowing that he put on and took off the diamond ring again.

Cheng Zhanxi opened the WeChat group named “Cheng Xixi’s Think Tank” and looked at the chat records inside.

Friends came up with all kinds of ideas, such as hot air balloons, helicopter writing in the sky, yachts, all of them were exaggerated. There is also a person who pretends to win the lottery, buys something from the boss, deliberately makes it a free lottery, asks Yu Qingtang to redeem the award, the prize is opened, and it says “marry me” on it, which is used by a married friend, Contribute generously.

Cheng Zhanxi: “…”

Everyone has proposed marriage like this, and she can’t use it anymore, and it doesn’t seem to be very good.

[Cheng Zhanxi]: Is there any other way?

[Think Tank No. 1-16]: Shake us

I don’t know if I’m not a think tank, but when I’m a think tank, I’m shocked. I didn’t expect that Cheng Zhanxi, who is usually so informal, will be so naive when it comes to proposing marriage, and the details will be crazy.

[Cheng Zhanxi]: What do you think about me lying naked on the bed with a ring on my body?

Friends: Good! ! This is good! !

Friend 1: It is recommended to put it in the mouth, she can bite the ring when you two kiss

Friend 2: Then why not put the other mouth? When the time comes, will you two be surprised? Is the wave romantic?

Friend 3: I don’t know if waves are romantic, waves are quite waves

All: Hahahahaha

[Cheng Zhanxi]: I know I can’t count on you, I already have an idea

friends:! !

Friends: Tell me, we will give you the staff of the staff

Cheng Zhanxi said so.

Friends suddenly said that they can, and that they can’t help with this matter, but they need to speak freely in the early preparations and later stages.

Cheng Zhanxi put the diamond ring in his bag, and put it back in the trunk when he goes out tomorrow. Afraid of waking up Yu Qingtang, she didn’t bother anymore after coming back this time, she closed her eyes and quickly fell asleep.

The next day, the studio.

Xiaoxue went to Cheng Zhanxi’s office to get things – when Cheng Zhanxi was away, she was in charge of the studio. As soon as she entered the door, she thought that she hadn’t woken up, so she rubbed her eyes and was sitting behind the desk. Their beloved boss?

When Xiaoxue further doubted whether she was seeing a ghost, Cheng Zhanxi said hello.

Xiaoxue reminded: “You don’t have a job today.”

“I know.” Cheng Zhanxi held a pencil in his thin white fingers, scribbling something on the notebook, and said, “I’ll be here for a while.”

Xiaoxue thought to herself: Did you quarrel with the proprietress?

Cheng Zhanxi said, “Are you here to get something?”

Xiaoxue said yes, Cheng Zhanxi picked up the pen and notebook and moved out of the seat.

Xiaoxue opened the drawer of Cheng Zhanxi’s desk with the key, took out a document, and said, “It’s alright, you’re busy.”

Cheng Zhanxi sat down again and said, “I’m not working today.”

Xiaoxue gave an “OK” gesture: “Understood, I won’t bother you if the sky falls.”

Xiaoxue went to the gallery with the document under her arm. When Qi Sui saw her, her eyes fell behind her, and the loss in her expression was well concealed.

Xiaoxue smiled professionally: “Miss Qi, come to see the painting again?”

Qi Sui said, “Yes.”

Xiaoxue said: “Look slowly, I’ll go to work.”

Qi Sui nodded, her expression impeccable.

Xiaoxue walked away in high heels.

Qi Sui stayed in the gallery until noon, and a friend who worked in a nearby office building invited her to dinner.

Qi Sui was absent-minded.

After her friend waved her hand twice in front of her, she returned to her senses and said with a faint smile, “What’s wrong?”

The friend said: “You have four big characters written on your face.”

Qi Sui asked, “What?”

The friend said word by word: “Forcing a smile.” She said, “What’s wrong with you? You’ve been obsessed with it since a few days ago. Did your work not go well after returning to China?”

Qi Sui said, “No.”

The friend’s eyes were full of disbelief.

Qi Sui was silent for a moment, put down his chopsticks, and said indifferently, “Do you know who opened the gallery I went to recently?”

The friend asked: “Who is it?”

Qi Sui said, “She.”

A word, without a name, refers to a unique person.

The friend froze for a moment, bowed his head and ate in silence.

After a while, she raised her head and said a few words, “You haven’t forgotten yet?”

Qi Sui smiled bitterly: “If you have met such a person, you will not forget it.”

“But that’s all in the past.” The friend gently advised, “People still have to look forward.”

Qi Sui tilted her head to look out the window. The signboard of Yiqing Gallery was across the road. Her voice was a little vague, and she said, “I met her.”

Friends did not dare to argue.

“She didn’t recognize me. I don’t know if she really forgot me or pretended she didn’t know me.” Qi Sui said, “I’ve done a lot of wrong things in the past, and I don’t know if there is any chance to make up for it. I also owe her an apology, and I want to apologize to her in person.”

Friends thought she might not need it.

It has been seven or eight years since the incident, maybe the other party has long forgotten her, why bother? But it was obvious that Qi Sui couldn’t let it go. It would be best if she could take this opportunity, and she could also run towards a new life.

***

Cheng Zhanxi used the excuse of work to spend all day in the office preparing for her secret proposal.

Yu Qingtang and Song Qingrou were shopping, just happened to stroll near the gallery, looked up at the sign, and walked in.

This time was close to the meal time, there were not many people, Song Qingrou saw a light blue back, pulled Yu Qingtang’s wrist, Yu Qingtang tilted her head, Song Qingrou pushed her chin in one direction.

Yu Qingtang: “…”

Song Qingrou is a serious face control, not only her own face control, but also pulls Yu Qingtang and her face control together.

Yu Qingtang was not interested in women other than Cheng Zhanxi, but Song Qingrou was obviously very interested, so she had to follow Song Qingrou and look at Song Qingrou and talk to her, “Do you also like Wu Mohan’s paintings?”

The woman in the long blue dress turned around, with long black hair, delicate facial features, attractive, slender, and her own delicate beauty.

Qi Sui suddenly heard someone talking to her, and instinctively sighed, after seeing that there was a beautiful woman in front of her who was well-dressed, she breathed a sigh of relief and said, “Yes, I just bought a painting of her yesterday. .”

She turned her gaze to Yu Qingtang beside Song Qingrou, her expression slightly startled.

What a beautiful woman.

The eyebrows are like ink paintings, and the lips are red like vermilion. Her complexion was clearly pale, and she had the tenderness of a sickly beauty, but the teary mole on the end of her eyes diluted her weakness.

She held the beautiful woman’s fingers with slender and slender skin, and her skin was as transparent as a fine jade. Even the lights in the gallery’s exhibition hall were covered by her brilliance.

If they had met elsewhere, and there was no one around, Qi Sui would have thought that she had dreamed of a fairy in a painting.

Qi Sui said, “Hello.”

Yu Qingtang nodded lightly.

Song Qingrou patted Yu Qingtang’s arm affectionately and naturally. Although Yu Qingtang was much more cheerful, she was only in front of familiar people, and she was still indifferent to strangers.

Song Qing Ju said, “My surname is Song.”

Qi Sui said, “My surname is Qi.”

Yu Qingtang watched the two chatting and added WeChat friends.

Yu Qingtang: “…”

Auntie is happy, I hope Uncle Cheng won’t eat Miss Qi’s vinegar when he goes back.

Qi Sui was also idle when she was idle. She was just about to eat lunch, so she said to invite Song Qingrou Yu Qingtang to dinner, Song Qingrouxue Lingzhi fainted and almost agreed, Yu Qingtang pulled her sleeve and said with ear: “Xixi’s studio Just around the corner, don’t we go to her for lunch?”

Daughter can be seen at any time, beauty is not often seen.

Song Qingrou wondered, “Didn’t she go out to eat with clients today?”

Yu Qingtang said, “…I’ll call and ask her.”

She went to a quiet place, dialed the phone and went out.

Song Qingrou smiled at Qi Sui: “My daughter works nearby.”

Qi Sui said, “That Miss Yu is yours…”

Song Qingrou immediately laughed crow’s feet: “Daughter-in-law, I’m going to marry my daughter soon.”

Qi Sui also smiled and said sincerely: “Then I wish them a good relationship for a hundred years and a long time.”

“Thank you Ji Yan.”

Yu Qingtang walked back and said, “Xixi said she is in the company, she is coming to pick us up now.”

Qi Sui shook her head for a while.

Xixi?

Song Qingju said, “Let her not pick it up, let’s go look for her.”

Yu Qingtang said, “I have already told her.”

Song Qingrou turned to look at Qi Sui, and said apologetically, “I’m sorry Xiao Qi, we have to…” She pointed to the door.

Qi Sui said clearly: “Aunt Song, Miss Yu, walk slowly.”

***

Cheng Zhanxi put the notebook and pencils in the drawer, locked the drawer, put the key in the bag, and put the bag on his back to exit the office door.

I met Song and Yu in the lobby on the first floor and went out to eat.

Song Qingrou looked at Cheng Zhanxi’s emaciated face, and said with a distressed expression: “Why are you so busy with work, don’t you have anyone to help? Would you like your brother to transfer you two capable people from the company?”

Cheng Zhanxi hurriedly said: “No, aren’t the people under my brother come to me to be overkill?”

Ms. Song said, “I didn’t say that you will always help you, and then transfer it back when you run out. Is your mother such a business-minded person?”

Cheng Zhanxi gave her a thumbs up: “As expected of you, business genius Ms. Song!”

Song Qingrou scolded her with a smile and slapped her on the arm.

Yu Qingtang said suddenly, “I’ll help you.”

Cheng Zhanxi was so surprised that he couldn’t answer right away.

A trace of loneliness flashed in Yu Qingtang’s eyes, and she said in a low voice, “Can’t you?”

Ms. Song’s hand greeted Cheng Zhanxi again, and Cheng Zhanxi dodged in time and said, “Okay, but I’ll be finished in a few days. Just wait for me at home.”

Yu Qingtang didn’t speak.

The group of three walked a little further, and Cheng Zhanxi received a message from Yu Qingtang: [I want to accompany you]

There were no symbols and no emoji, but Cheng Zhanxi read out the grievances from it.

In order to propose marriage earlier, Cheng Zhanxi has been rushing to work these days, leaving early and returning late, spending less and less time at home, and even reducing the frequency of nightlife.

Cheng Zhanxi said in her heart, baby, it’s not that I don’t want you to accompany me, but that when you accompany me, everything I’m doing will be revealed, and there will be no surprises at that time.

[Cheng Zhanxi]: Up to three days, good

The three of them went to eat Cantonese food. The dishes were exquisite. Song Qingrou took the soup bowl that Yu Qingtang handed over. The soup base was thick and milky white. She stirred it with a spoon and blew the heat of the soup noodles. She habitually looked around, but there was no Cheng Yi. Song Qingrou said: “I met a beauty in the gallery today.”

Cheng Zhanxi was silent, and in response, he concentrated on filling Yu Qingtang with fish.

“Steamed, very tender, you can try it.”

Song Qingrou was accustomed to the two of them showing their affection, and smiled to herself: “The name is quite interesting, it’s seven years old.”

Yu Qingtang suddenly changed her face when she saw Cheng Zhanxi in front of her.

She had never seen Cheng Zhanxi with such an expression, suddenly cold, followed by strong disgust.

Cheng Zhanxi’s expression changed in an instant, but Yu Qingtang was definitely not his own delusion.

Cheng Zhanxi raised his eyes, the coldness in his eyes still did not dissipate, and asked, “What did she tell you?”

Song Qingrou also noticed that something was wrong, and said, “I didn’t say anything, just chatted about painting.”

“What painting?”

“Wu Mohan’s.”

“Didn’t you talk to me?”

“Why do I want to talk to you?” Song Qingrou glanced at Yu Qingtang, Yu Qingtang’s expression was as usual, she didn’t know if she didn’t realize the subtlety in her words or if she concealed it well.

Song Qingrou was extremely regretful at this moment for why she had made that conversation in the gallery. Isn’t this setting her on fire? It’s okay to burn her, what’s the point of burning her two children?

By the end of the meal, the warm atmosphere was gone.

Song Qingrou and Yu Qingtang went home, and Cheng Zhanxi went to the studio.

Cheng Zhanxi sat in the office chair, stood on tiptoe, turned around irritably, took out his mobile phone and sent a message: [Did you know Qi Sui returned to China? 】

Yu Jianxing froze when he saw the news.

[She came to you to get back together? 】

[My mother and Yu Qingtang met her today]

[Rely] Yu Jian Xingdao, [Why does she still have the face to look for you? 】

Cheng Zhanxi withdrew the first two. She didn’t want to see a word about the other party. She said in a voice: “It seems that you already knew that she had returned to China, so give me her phone number.”

Yu Jianxing: [What are you doing? 】

Cheng Zhanxi said coldly, “There will be no future troubles.”

Yu Jianxing has many friends and a wide network of contacts. He has played in a circle before, and his mutual friends are still there. It takes a few minutes to ask for a phone number. Cheng Zhanxi stared at the screen for a while, and a string of phone numbers came over there.

Cheng Zhanxi dialed out.

Qi Sui was eating alone downstairs in the company, and the mobile phone on the desktop vibrated.

There was no caller ID, but the number was already familiar to her after she got it. Her heart couldn’t stop beating fast. She pressed the answer button with trembling fingertips, put it to her ear, and closed her eyes.

“Qi Sui?” Cheng Zhanxi’s voice was unusually calm, without liking or disgust, without any emotion, just like treating a stranger.

“it’s me.”

“what you up to?”

Qi Sui opened her eyes and said, “I want to apologize to you.”

“No need.”

“Did you pretend you didn’t know me in the parking lot that day?”

Cheng Zhanxi lost the few patience for her self-talk, and said indifferently: “So you still don’t understand?”

“I understand, but I want to meet you.”

“I said no.”

“The lady surnamed Yu at Yiqing Gallery is your girlfriend, right?” Qi Sui fork on the small cake on the plate, she heard the mood swings in Cheng Zhanxi’s voice as she wished, and she didn’t know it was more pain. , or liberate more.

Cheng Zhanxi pressed his anger: “You really did it on purpose.”

Qi Sui did not deny it, she repeated: “I want to meet you, you can decide the time and place.”

“Tomorrow at nine o’clock in the morning, so-and-so cafe.” Cheng Zhanxi hung up the phone without waiting for her to answer.

Qi Sui listened to the beeping busy tone inside, and after a while, she put down the phone and slumped into the seat weakly.

It was purely accidental that she met Song Qingrou and Yu Qingtang in the gallery, but when they left, they greeted Xiaoxue who came out from the inside. Xiaoxue’s attitude, Xixi in Yu Qingtang’s mouth, Cheng Zhanxi and Song Qingrou’s eyebrows were somewhat similar, All point to an answer.

When Qi Sui said that sentence to deceive Cheng Zhanxi, she reluctantly held out a glimmer of hope, and Cheng Zhanxi broke it with her own hands.

fair enough.

Qi Sui closed her eyes, let out a long breath, picked up her mobile phone to pay the bill, and left the cafe without looking back.

***

Cheng Zhanxi hung up the phone and then called Yu Qingtang.

Yu Qingtang couldn’t hear anything unusual in her tone, and said gently, “Are you bored again?”

Cheng Zhanxi muffled “um”.

Yu Qingtang thought for a while and said, “Then let me tell you about the dream of red bean buns?”

Just as Cheng Zhanxi was about to bury his face in his arms, he burst out laughing.

“I don’t want to hear about red bean buns, I want to hear about the dream of eating black truffles, have you done it?”

“what?”

Cheng Zhanxi smiled: “It’s nothing, I’ll give it to you next time.”

Yu Qingtang was silent for a while, and said, “Do you have anything to say to me?”

“Yes.” Cheng Zhanxi answered quickly and calmly, “But I don’t know what to say now, can I apply later?”

“Okay, can I get home from get off work on time today?”

“can.”

Yu Qingtang was quiet for a while and said, “Are you taking a lunch break?”

“Um.”

“Then go to sleep.”

“Okay.”

When Yu Qingtang was about to hang up, he heard Cheng Zhanxi say three words seriously over there.

Yu Qingtang didn’t know why her eyes were suddenly wet, and said, “Me too.”

Cheng Zhanxi added, “Don’t worry.” She said softly, “I will never leave you.”

Yu Qingtang gave a low “um” and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.

“Then I’m going to bed. If you have anything to do, you can message me. If you don’t answer, call me. I’ll be here all afternoon.”

“Okay.”

Cheng Zhanxi got up from a lunch break, glanced at her phone, Yu Qingtang didn’t send her a message, she took the initiative to send a message: [Get up]

Yu Qingtang replied in seconds: [Are you going to work? 】

Cheng Zhanxi said: [Yes]

Yu Qingtang: [Then you are busy, I will read the book]

Cheng Zhanxi took out the things in the drawer and continued to create at the desk. Qi Sui’s affairs could not affect her, but she could not tolerate Qi Sui touching her Yu Qingtang, even if she said a word to her, she had touched her bottom line.

There is a big tree in the courtyard of the villa, and the gate of the villa can be seen from under the tree. Yu Qingtang sits on a pony in the shade of the tree, with a book on his knees, the wind blowing the pages of the book, Yu Qingtang’s eyes never know. After staring at it for a long time, the courtyard door retracted and turned the pages back. She looked at the courtyard door in a trance, and the book on her knee was blown by the wind again, again and again.

I read less than three pages of the book in one afternoon, and when the rays of light hung in the sky in the evening, Cheng Zhanxi’s car drove into the courtyard gate, and the brilliance in Yu Qingtang’s eyes lit up little by little.

Cheng Zhanxi stopped the car beside her and pushed the door down.

Yu Qingtang stood up, the book fell to the ground, her legs swayed unsteadily because of poor blood flow from sitting for a long time.

Cheng Zhanxi hugged her waist in time and whispered in her ear, “I’m back.”

Yu Qingtang tightly gripped the fabric on her shoulders.

Cheng Zhanxi took her into his arms and patted her on the back gently.

Yu Qingtang’s tense body slowly relaxed, Cheng Zhanxi combed her long hair behind her with five fingers, and said gently, “Walk to the car with me?”

It was only a few steps away from the garage, and Yu Qingtang couldn’t tell, but he honestly got into the co-pilot.

Cheng Zhanxi smiled, buckled his seat belt, and parked the car in the garage.

Cheng Zhanxi turned off the car, unfastened his seat belt, and suddenly it was dark, Yu Qingtang held her down, leaned over and kissed her.

Cheng Zhanxi closed her eyes, felt her lips tremble slightly, and stroked the woman’s back with her hand.

Yu Qingtang’s stance was fierce, but in reality he just pressed her lips and kissed her slowly and gently. She is keeping her in her own way. Cheng Zhanxi’s long-term efforts have been restored to its original shape because of Qi Sui’s sudden appearance.

She couldn’t put it into words, but she repeated the same thing over and over with every soft kiss: don’t leave me.

Cheng Zhanxi’s heart was cut like a knife, and his eyes turned red.

Yu Qingtang kissed her, touched the tears on her face, backed away in panic, and said at a loss, “Did I hurt you?”

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Cheng Zhanxi raised his face and said, “You get on me.”
