Sweet Wife Threw Herself Into Arms - C67
“Why are you here?” Li Mengqi was stunned, but soon after, a bright smile blossomed on her face, which caught the eyes of the man. Even the holy moonlight was far from being as beautiful as her.
“Mhmm, what do you think?” He stood in front of her, looking down at her from above. There seemed to be stars dancing within his deep eyes, but he didn’t know what that meant.
Li Mengqi tilted her head as her almond-shaped eyes lightly blinked. Suddenly, she remembered that she had let him go tonight. A trace of guilt inexplicably welled up in her heart. She looked at him and said in a gentle voice, “I’m sorry, my elder brother is hospitalized, so —”
“I’m so hungry. Do you have anything to eat?” Before she could finish her explanation, he interrupted her.
“You haven’t eaten?” Her originally sweet and gentle voice instantly rose as she looked at him in disbelief, “Have you gone mad? You’re still not eating? ”
“Sigh, I’m not in the mood.” Someone purposely sighed and stretched out his hand to pinch her tender cheeks a few times. His tone was full of ridicule as he said, “Why have you gotten so fat, huh?”
Li Mengqi shook off his hand, her delicate eyebrows knitted together as she coquettishly said, “Don’t make my heart hurt!” Within a day, the two men she cared about said they were fat, wuu. Did she really have to lose weight?
In any case, in his eyes, even if his woman was as fat as a pig’s head, she was still the most beautiful scenery in the world. Not to mention, she was so well-proportioned that not a single blemish could be seen on her.
He didn’t speak, he only stared at her with a gaze that was as deep as a torch. It made her heart beat faster, and she coughed in embarrassment. Only then did she realize that he hadn’t eaten yet.
If Big Brother doesn’t come back tonight and ask him to come in, it shouldn’t be a big deal, right? Li Mengqi added inwardly.
“Of course you can!” Qi Junhao’s eyes lit up when he heard that she was going to teach him a lesson. His originally handsome face suddenly bloomed into a pure smile like white orchids. Almost unconsciously, he reached out and picked her up, “Go, go down.”
“Ah!” Li Mengqi cried out in surprise. Her small hand formed a fist and punched him lightly in the chest. She reprimanded him, “You’re scaring me to death.”
“How can you be so timid?” He curled his lips and smacked her buttocks with his palm. “Let’s go, Chef Li.”
After saying that, he carried her into the room.
After putting her down in the living room, Li Mengqi let him casually take a seat while she went to the kitchen to help him down.
Qi Junhao walked to the rattan chair on the balcony and sat down. He looked out into the peaceful night, and felt at ease. His mind was still as calm as it had been six years ago.
That day was the anniversary of his mother’s death. As he was driving back from the cemetery, he passed by Central Park. Suddenly, a white shadow fluttered into his eyes like a butterfly.
At that time, he only knew that he could not shift his gaze away, but he did not know that there was an idiom, love at first sight.
The luxurious sportscar brushed past her and she subconsciously glanced in the rearview mirror, only to see a tall and handsome young man lightly call out, “Yan Xi!”, following which, a sweet smile appeared on the girl’s face, and she sprinted into the arms of the man. The man dotingly stroked her head and handed her a bucket of popcorn. The girl smiled slyly, took out a handful and stuffed it into the man’s mouth. The scene was so blissfully blissful that it made one jealous.
Qi Junhao’s heartstrings were completely pulled at that moment, and a glimmer of determination flashed across his dark eyes.
That charming smile of hers could only belong to him!
Thus, after many investigations, he found out that her name was Jiang Yanxi, and she had been adopted by the orphanage since she was young. She had a very good childhood friend, Lu Jingchen. At that time, Lu xun, 22, had just graduated from the Music Academy. He originally had a bright future ahead of him, but it was ruined by him.
He admitted that he was ruthless and evil. In order to obtain her, he used all means at his disposal and used Lu Kuchen’s future to threaten her, forcing her to become his woman.
“Qi Junhao, I hate you!”
That once intimate night, she had cried all night long, accusing him of his actions with her swollen eyes.
“Hate me. No matter how much you hate me, you will find out how much you love me!” He sneered. Regardless of the consequences, he was going to die.
“In your dreams! Even if all the men in the world are dead, I still wouldn’t fall in love with you! ”
His heart suddenly hurt. Suddenly, a hand appeared on his shoulder. He subconsciously raised his head and saw her curved brows, her lips curled up slightly, and her smile was extremely moving. “Your face is ready!”
There was a faint gentleness in her clear, sweet voice that just so happened to seep into his heart. The string of memory seemed to be lightly strummed by someone’s slender, jade-like hands. At this moment, he felt as if he had been separated from her for a lifetime.
“What are you thinking? Why are you so engrossed in it?” She frowned, a look of concern flashing across her eyes.
“I missed you!” He answered truthfully, but she giggled, not at all taking his words seriously.
“Hurry, wash your hands and eat the noodles. If you don’t taste good, don’t pour it out!” Li Mengqi somewhat domineeringly threw out these words, and elegantly walked inside.
Hearing her words, Qi Junhao’s mind suddenly quivered, and his heart sank. A few black lines appeared on his forehead.
It seems like, she was a kitchen killer before, can she eat the noodles?
Perhaps, after six years, he would improve?
Qi Junhao followed her into the dining room with such a positive attitude towards life. When he saw the big bowl filled with noodles, a trace of astonishment flashed across his eyes. Can you eat it?
“What’s wrong, hurry up and eat, aren’t you hungry?” Li Mengqi pulled up a stool and sat across from him with her hands on her cheeks. Her almond-shaped eyes sparkled like stars, making her look exceptionally bright.
Qi Junhao sighed, picked up a few chopsticks, and started eating. Un, even though it was a bit stuffy, it could barely be swallowed, if it wasn’t that salty.
“Is it delicious?” Li Mengqi blinked her eyes and asked expectantly.
“…” Qi Junhao didn’t answer right away. Instead, he found a fried egg in a large bowl with his chopsticks. Seeing its smooth color and moderate temperature, he nodded, “Not bad!”
Of course, it was only for frying eggs!
“Haha, right?” He knocked on the table with his right hand a few times, and suddenly said with some regret, “Every time I think about giving my big brother food, he always says that there’s something on his mind and he’s in a hurry to leave.”
“…” Qi Junhao was speechless. He thought to himself, “Li Jianzhong is really something. Can he leave as well?”
Of course, this was just a thought, he was not willing to actually do that!
However, Li Jianzhong was too despicable. He actually dared to fool his treasure?
His deep eyes flashed with a faint light as he put down his chopsticks, pretending to be unconcerned and reminded, “I heard that the food in the hospital is very bad. I think that your elder brother would be very happy if you occasionally gave him some noodles or cooked him some porridge.”
“That’s right!” Hearing this, Li Mengqi’s eyes instantly lit up, “I’ll bring him the noodles at noon tomorrow.”
I remember that Big Brother really likes the beef noodle soup outside. If she made it herself, she would like it even more, haha.
“Oh right, this amount can still be a bit saltier. “You should add a bit more salt tomorrow!” [He really didn’t forget to hit me when he was down the well!]
“Alright!” Li Mengqi happily nodded, she didn’t notice the trace of schadenfreude in the man’s eyes.
Since she had an appointment with Fang Menglin for dinner, Li Mengqi took her bag and prepared to leave as soon as it was time to leave.
At this moment, Luo Yuan walked in with a stack of documents in his arms. “Sister Yi, Shen Ying’s documents are ready. Do you want to take them home?”
She had spent a lot of effort in order to obtain Shen Xingran’s exclusive information from many channels. As there were too many sources, she had sent them over to Yi’jie without even taking a glance at them.
“Alright!” The day after tomorrow would be the live broadcast, Li Mengqi thought. She really had to do some homework tonight.
She put the papers in a bag, then waved goodbye to the child and left the station.
When he arrived, he saw Fang Menglin holding her cheeks, seemingly deep in thought.
“What’s wrong? So preoccupied? ” It was rare to see such a deep expression on her usually cheerful and lively best friend. Li Mengqi couldn’t help but to ask with concern.
“I just saw on Weibo that Lu Zhichen was in a car accident. She’s still in the hospital for first aid!” What should she do? “Is he going to be all right, Kiki?” Fang Menglin looked anxious, as if she was about to cry.
Li Mengqi’s heart skipped a beat. Perhaps it was because she had been in a car accident before, so she was very sensitive to these things. She pinched the spot between her eyebrows, and her clear almond-shaped eyes flashed with a trace of certainty. She looked at Fang Menglin with a faint smile, “Heaven will help the worthy. He will be fine. Don’t worry!
“En!” Fang Menglin nodded, her shiny black eyes ignoring the crowd. “Kiki, Mr. Lu is in Hong Kong right now. Do you want me to go to the hospital to see him?”
“You won’t necessarily see her even if you go?” It wasn’t her that was pouring cold water on him, but a superstar. Was it that easy to meet him?
“The one where he was hospitalized. I have an acquaintance there. “Kiss, this Saturday, will you come with me?” After Fang Menglin finished speaking, she reached out and grabbed her wrist. Normally, no matter how strong a woman was, when something happened to her idol, she would be like a glass heart, easily breaking it into pieces.
“Fine, but I’m only going to take a look. I’ll go back and forth that day.” It just so happened to be Qi Junhao’s birthday. She would accompany Fang Menglin in the morning and return in the afternoon by plane, so he could still make it in time.
“Great, it’s a deal then. I’ll book my ticket right away. ” After getting her approval, a smile finally appeared on Fang Menglin’s face.
Good news came one after another. In less than two minutes, Fang Menglin had read on Weibo that Lu Kuchen had escaped danger. She had heard that he had only suffered a broken bone and would be fine after recuperating for a period of time.
After separating with Fang Menglin, Li Mengqi drove into MK department store, intending to buy a birthday present for Qi Junhao.
After parking the car, she took her bag with her and walked to the elevator. Right at that moment, the elevator door opened, and she hastily entered.
The door beeped a few times and slowly closed. Suddenly, someone pressed on it from outside. The elevator door opened again, and a tall figure walked in.
As if she felt a heavy pressure, Li Mengqi couldn’t help but raise her eyes and silently size him up.
He was a very tall man, although his facial features were not as exquisite and perfect as Qi Junhao’s, he was still above average. He wore a gray suit that was custom-made, and on his pinky finger was a black gold ring.
As if she felt her gaze, the man indifferently glanced in her direction. Li Mengqi hurriedly withdrew her gaze to conceal the awkwardness within her heart.
The elevator went up to the men’s supply area on the sixth floor.
Li Mengqi hurriedly walked out, but she didn’t notice that when the elevator door slowly closed, the man had a playful smile on her face.
Most of the shops on this floor were exclusive stores for luxury brands. He walked around and didn’t find any suitable gifts for Qi Junhao. That’s right, like him, everything has to be customized. Things on the market might not really suit him.
What should he give him?
Li Mengqi knitted her brows as she couldn’t help but feel conflicted.
She glanced over with her almond-shaped eyes, and was attracted by an eye-catching signboard. With a faint smile, she walked over with light footsteps.
Although Li Mengqi was a famous host, it was not necessarily true. Everyone would recognize her. For example, the salesperson in front of her was one of them. However, when the other party saw that although she was dressed simply, her taste was quite good, so he warmly greeted her, “Miss, may I ask if there is anything I can help you with?”
Li Mengqi smiled and indicated to her. She walked to the box that sold cufflinks, and pointed to a pair that was displayed in the most conspicuous position. With a very friendly tone, she said, “Hello, may I trouble you to take out that pair of cufflinks to take a look? Thank you.”
This is a special kind of cufflinks for men, very simple black and white, but it exposes the nobility that does not flow in the vulgar. Yes, it was very suitable for him. She added silently in her heart.
“You have a good eye, miss. This cufflink is the limit of our DL brand, and this is the only pair in the world. ” The salesman carefully took out the cuff links and handed them to her.
Li Mengqi took the cuff links, unwilling to let them go. Actually, even without her explanation, she already understood the value of this pair of cufflinks.
This brand has always been one of the best men’s products, and its own cufflinks, which are even more popular among men who seek fashion and taste, are still popular even when the price has gone up by five digits.” She was not a person who pursued a famous brand. However, she had a special affection for this brand.
He should like it, right?
Her long eyelashes blinked a few times. She wanted to ask the salesperson to pay her bill, but at this moment, a sweet voice, filled with pride, came out of nowhere — —
“Wrap this cuff link up, I’ll take it.”
Li Mengqi raised her head and saw a tall and slender woman accompanied by an assistant.
She walked in gracefully. She was wearing a light green Chanel suit and looked very elegant. Her hair was tied up in a bun, revealing her beautiful face. The large sunglasses covered half of her face, making it hard to see her appearance. However, the smile on the woman’s face made two words mysteriously float into Li Mengqi’s mind —
The people who came were not friendly!
“Miss, I’m sorry, this was the one that caught the young lady’s eye first. I have to ask if this young lady wants to buy it first. My apologies!” The sales clerk looked at the person with some embarrassment, then looked at Li Mengqi and politely asked.
“She looked at it first, but I said I wanted to buy it first. There was always a first come first served. Since he had taken a fancy to it, why hesitate for so long? It’s only twenty thousand or so. If you can’t afford it, then don’t come in. ” The woman curled her lips. Her voice was as pleasant to listen to as an oriole, but there was a ridicule in her tone.
Li Mengqi was stunned for a moment. She couldn’t help but suspect that she had offended this woman who was as arrogant as a princess. However, seeing how immoral the other party was, she didn’t want to lower herself to her level. However, this didn’t mean that she was a soft persimmon who could be easily taken advantage of.
Thus, Li Mengqi frowned slightly, turned her head and handed the cuff links to the sales clerk with a sweet smile, “I’ll take it, thank you!”
“Alright, please wait a moment. I’ll write the order for you.” The sales clerk took it and was about to pay when the woman snatched the cuff links from his hands.
“Little Yang, pay up!”
After she finished speaking, she turned around and left while the others were stunned. In her hands, she was still tightly holding onto the beautifully wrapped box.
Li Mengqi was speechless. Suddenly, she realized that the man seemed familiar, but she couldn’t quite place where she had seen him before.
‘Forget it. If I meet such an unreasonable person, just consider it bad luck for me! ‘
The girl called Xiao Yang embarrassedly paid the bill, gave Li Mengqi an apologetic look, and then left.
“Miss, I’m so sorry.” The salesman also kept apologizing. Li Mengqi smiled and shook her head, indicating that she didn’t mind.
“Actually, we also have a shop treasure that only VVIP customers can sell. Miss, do you want to take another look? ” Perhaps it was because her courteous attitude had left a good impression on him, but at this moment, the salesperson could not care about the rules of the store and actually gave her some advice.
“Really? “Then please let me have a look, thank you.” Li Mengqi, who had been worrying about what gift to buy, was suddenly overjoyed.
The other party quickly took out a packing case from the safe. The box gave off a strong and angular feeling as it merged with the classical elegance of metal. It looked extremely luxurious. Li Mengqi thought, even the box is so beautiful, the cuff links inside should be more anticipated right?
When the lid was opened, what came into view was two ancient cufflinks, made from a mixture of gold and rose gold. The surface of the cufflinks depicted a vivid horse racing scene, with exquisite gray agate relief.
As expected, the good stuff sank into the bottom of the chest. Although this was much more expensive than the previous one, Li Mengqi still gritted her teeth and bought it.
After returning home, Li Mengqi took a shower, made herself a cup of rose tea, and then walked into the study to work overtime.
To be honest, Li Mengqi had no confidence in interviewing Shen Xingran the day after tomorrow. What she studied was finance and economics, and she didn’t really understand the rules of the entertainment circle. Moreover, the other party’s background was too big. If she was not careful, she might implicate the entire program team. She would never allow herself to make such a mistake.
The information provided by Lo was very detailed. There were also photos of Shen Xingran from various periods of time. He looked like an elegant and dignified beauty, gentle and virtuous. However, when a picture of a person wearing sunglasses entered her eyes, Li Mengqi chuckled lightly. She didn’t think so.
Finally, it was the day of the live broadcast.
The show was scheduled to start at 8: 00 and would last for 40 minutes.
In the afternoon, Li Mengqi went to the dressing room and made a pose. After she sorted out all the questions she wanted to ask, she then casually walked to the recording studio.
At this moment, Luo Yuan rushed over to him.
“Yi’jie, it’s bad. The car behind Shen Ying was stuck. He said that he would be late to get there. ”
“How long later?” Li Mengqi frowned, her heart thumping. It was already 7: 30, and it would start in half an hour. The live broadcast was not a joke.
“He’s still in the inner circle. I can’t say for sure!” In the end, Luo Yuan was still a young girl who had just graduated. He was so anxious that he was at a loss, “Sister Yi, what should we do? “If I’m late —”
“Don’t worry, I won’t.” Although Li Mengqi was also worried, she still looked calm on the surface. She patted him on the shoulder, lifted her wrist to check her watch, and calculated the time of arrival. If she was lucky, she should be able to get there by 7: 50.
Perhaps, the heavens were blessing Li Mengqi. Shen Xingran finally arrived at the studio five minutes before the show started.
Just like that night at the DL store, Shen Xingran greeted Li Mengqi in an extremely friendly manner — —
“Hello, streamer Li!” “I have long heard of your great name. Seeing you today, your reputation is indeed well-deserved. You are so beautiful that it makes me feel ashamed of my inferiority.”
After she finished speaking, she extended her hand towards Li Mengqi, who was too embarrassed to delay, magnanimously shook hands with her, smiling as she replied, “Miss Shen, you are too kind. You are the one who is beautiful and has extraordinary taste. For a host of such a small place like me, how can I compare with you, the international film empress? ”
The two equally beautiful beauties had sweet smiles on their faces, but in each other’s eyes, there was a battle that only they knew.
The program began very quickly. The live broadcast was unexpectedly smooth. However, when the program began 20 minutes ago and the viewership ratings were at their highest, Shen Xingran said something shocking —
