On the way back, Xue Jue's face was always ugly.

He ignored Zu Qi who was following, and kept rushing forward with a gloomy expression, walking with two long legs, and disappeared from Zu Qi's sight in a short while.

Zu Qi walked back slowly along the path.

In less than a minute, Zuqi heard the footsteps of Xue Jue striding back, and immediately after the light dimmed in front of him, he looked up and saw Xue Jue standing in front of him with no expression on his face.

Zu Qi raised his lips and smiled, his eyes narrowed into a crooked moon shape, and his helpless expression was a bit like a kid who was treating unreasonable troubles: "What's your temper?"

"You deliberately asked me to follow you, just to make Bai Guangjian and his wife unable to refuse your invitation." Xue Jue's voice was suppressed very low, and his straight gaze seemed to see through Zu Qi's soul.

Zu Qi, who had no psychological burden, was suddenly seen by Xue Jue with a guilty conscience, and he subconsciously took two steps back.

"Bai Guangjian will definitely not refuse me, but his wife may not necessarily be obedient." Zu Qi touched his swollen belly and said with lack of confidence.

As long as there is Xue Jue Town, Chen Meixin will not refuse Zu Qi's request to eat together face-to-face, no matter how reluctant it is. After all, their husband and wife need to rely on Xue Jue in many places at work.

Zu Qi thought he was doing it quietly, but Xue Jue discovered the clue so quickly.

At this moment, Zu Qi felt terrified for no reason. He always regarded Xue Jue as a paper figure framed in the character setting, but he forgot that Xue Jue had flesh and blood and thoughts.

Based on Xue Jue's 31 years of experience, the bridge he has traveled is definitely more than that of Zu Qi.

So, why couldn't Xue Jue see Zu Qi's careful thinking?

Under Xue Jue's cold gaze, Zu Qi couldn't help lowering his head, holding his thin coat in a loss with both hands.

Zu Qi was hesitating whether to find a reason to excuse him, but he heard Xue Jue say: "Shi Hao has already received his due punishment, not to mention his bad reputation, and he won't make a splash in the entertainment circle in the future. Everything is enough."

Hearing this, Zu Qi suddenly raised his head and looked at Xue Jue in disbelief.

How did Xue Jue know his plan?!

No, he hadn't told anyone what he thought in his heart, let alone let others know about Shi Hao calling him.

Xue Jue raised the corners of his mouth, his lips were full of ridicule, and he said in a calm tone: "If you want people to know what you can do, you can find someone to investigate Chen Meixin and Shi Hao. I know everything. Chu."

After being surprised, Zu Qi quickly recovered his calmness. He squinted his eyes and felt that the mocking on Xue Jue's face was extremely harsh. He seemed to smile and said, "Then I was bullied by Shi Hao and Chen Meixin in the past. Do you know it all too well?"

If he hadn't read this novel, he would have never known that Shi Hao and Tang Moning had bullied the original owner so badly before, relying on Chen Meixin's backing.

Now the original owner has fallen to the point where everyone on the Internet has spurned it, and Chen Meixin has unclear responsibilities.

Xue Jue frowned slightly: "That's all from the past..."

"But for me, those hurdles will never pass." Zu Qi sternly interrupted Xue Jue. Xu was affected by the original body, and he was very emotional. "Shi Hao's current experience is not enough to make up for what he has done to me. I will never let him go so easily."

Xue Jue smiled and said, "So you just use me?"

Zu Qi was startled slightly: "I'm sorry."

"I don't need your apology, and your apology is never from the heart." Xue Jue's eyes were deep, staring at Zu Qi for a long time, and then he smiled, "This is indeed your way, but I don't I'll go to dinner, you can figure it out."

After that, Xue Jue turned and left.

This time he quickly disappeared from Zu Qi's sight and never returned.

Zu Qi returned to the residence after three steps, Xiaoya looked forward to her outside the door, and when she saw him rushing over, she said worriedly: "Mrs., you are finally back."

Zu Qi asked: "Where is Xue Jue?"

Xiaoya scratched her head questioningly: "Mr. has never come back."

Zu Qi suddenly understood that Xue Jue should have gone straight back to his own residence. He nodded, and then entered the room with Xiaoya.

When taking a bath at night, Zuqi found that his feet were obviously swollen. He pressed his fingers on the swollen ankle and gently pressed it twice. It didn't hurt, but it was swollen and uncomfortable, and it was not convenient to walk. .

It is no wonder that when he went to see Bai Guangjian, he felt sore and limp in his feet after walking for a while, and his ankles were very uncomfortable because of his shoes.

Zu Qi put on her pajamas and lay on the side of the bed, pressing her feet one after another while picking up her mobile phone and dialing Shi Hao's phone.

The beep sounded for a long time, and just when Zu Qi was about to hang up, Shi Hao's extremely hoarse voice came from the phone: "Xiao Qi, are you looking for me at this late hour?"

Zu Qi glanced at the time on the wall clock and chuckled softly: "It seems that the recent events have little effect on you. I started my nightlife at only nine o'clock."

"I, I didn't..." Shi Hao stammered instantly and explained in a hurry, "I didn't have much to do at home, so I went to bed earlier..."

Zu Qi was not very interested in Shi Hao's chaotic private life, and soon changed the subject, telling Shi Hao the time and place he and Bai Guangjian had agreed to eat.

"I see, I must be there on time." Shi Hao replied repeatedly. After a short pause, his tone suddenly became gentle and affectionate, "Xiao Qi, in fact, I didn't intentionally harass you that day. I just couldn't let us go. Past feelings..."

Before the words were finished, a groan that seemed like nothing came out abruptly: "Ah... Brother Hao, please lightly..."

Shi Hao fell silent for a moment, presuming that his entire face had turned into pig liver color.

Zu Qi sneered: "How are you born in Tang Mourning's bed and remember our feelings, I won't bother you."

"Little Qi..."

Zu Qi hung up directly.

The time agreed with Bai Guangjian is next week. During this time, Zu Qi still picks a large amount of wild chrysanthemum from the space every day and gives it to Xiaoya and other maids to make powder.

In order to conceal the source of the wild chrysanthemums, Zuqi ordered the bodyguards to pick the same amount of wild chrysanthemums from the back garden and pile them in his room.

When the night was quiet, Zu Qi threw all the ordinary wild chrysanthemums into the space. Although this was exhausting, it would not cause others to doubt.

However, after three or four days, the edema of Zuqi's feet not only did not get any relief, but also seemed to be getting worse. The pain in his feet kept him tossing and awake for several consecutive nights.

Xiaoya asked a doctor. The doctor said that Zuqi's eight months of pregnancy was approaching labor, and swelling of the lower limbs and ankles is normal, and he needs to adjust his diet and exercise moderately.

Keep your daily diet as light as possible and avoid salty and greasy.

Zu Qi listened to the expression of the sky falling down.

Xiaoya looked at Zu Qi embarrassedly, her facial features almost wrinkled: "Ma'am, you really have to listen to your husband. You can no longer eat the greasy food of roast goose."

Zu Qi poked his swollen belly dejectedly, thinking that he had paid too much for this child, and Xue Jue would not lose any money for giving him 10 million.

Speaking of Xue Jue, Zu Qi remembered that Xue Jue had not seen him during this period of time, and Xu Ye was still irritating about what happened that night.

Zu Qi suddenly felt so angry and funny. Thinking about it carefully, this was the first time Xue Jue had such a big temper. It may be that his behavior did touch Xue Jue's bottom line.

At first, Zu Qi teased him with the idea that Xue Jue was so angry that he would not pay for his life, so he acted and did everything he wanted, never considering Xue Jue's feelings.

But after getting along these days, Zu Qi found that Xue Jue was not as bad as described in the novel. Perhaps this is related to Xue Jue's not falling in love with the heroine.

Thinking of Xue Jue’s previous tofu, Zu Qi still couldn’t bear it. After thinking about it, he decided to find time to apologize to Xue Jue.

As a result, before Zu Qi could act, he came out of the bathroom after taking a shower that night and saw Xue Jue sitting on the sofa in his bedroom with a laptop.

Yu Guangzhong caught a glimpse of Zu Qi limping out, Xue Jue frowned, raised his head, and looked over with a cold look.

"Why are you here? I just want to find you." Zu Qi wiped his wet hair with a towel in his hand. As he was about to say something, he saw Xue Jue put down the computer and then got up and walked towards him.

Zu Qi was taken aback by Xue Jue's look at home, and she took two steps back subconsciously, shivering and saying: "Big brother, I just borrowed your name that day. You won't find me to die."

As soon as the voice fell, Xue Jue snatched the towel in his hand.

"?"

Zu Qi looked dazed, and turned around in a hurry, the next second he met Xue Jue's black-lined face.

The two stared at them for a long while, and Xue Jue sighed and said, "Where is the hair dryer?"

Zu Qi said in a daze: "In the bathroom, open the middle of the second frame of the mirror."

Xue Jue grabbed the soaked towel and went into the bathroom. After a while, he walked out with a hair dryer. He supported Zu Qi against the bed and turned the hair dryer to moderately hot air.

Xue Jue's fingers are very long, his fingertips are cold, and he has an indescribable sense of comfort when he moves gently between Zuqi's hair.

Zu Qi squinted his eyes comfortably, with a satisfied expression on his face, like a kitten who had tasted fresh fish soup, and soon he fell asleep in the warm wind.

Half-dreaming and half-awake, Zu Qi felt Xue Jue put away the hair dryer, held him by his waist and let him lie flat on the bed, and then began to gently knead his ankle.

That night, Zu Qi was rarely troubled by the pain in his feet.

For the next few days, Xue Jue would quietly appear while Zuqi was sleeping, helping him knead his calf and ankle, and disappear without a trace after dawn.

And under Xue Jue's severe reprimands of Xiaoya and Zhang Jianjia, the greasy food such as roast goose and fried chicken legs on Zuqi's table was completely removed.

It wasn't until the day before the appointment that Zu Qi's feet finally disappeared. He asked Mr. Zhang to arrange for the driver to take him to the Cuiyuege restaurant that Bai Guangjian had booked in advance. After getting in the car, he realized that the driver was actually a stern Xue Jue .

There was a fleeting surprise on Zu Qi's face, followed by a huge surprise. He opened his eyes slightly, and the corners of his mouth tilted upward involuntarily.

"I knew you would go." Zu Qi held his chin and looked at Xue Jue with a smile, "For your obedient sake, it's better than I give you a reward."

Xue Jue started the car blankly: "I don't lack that dollar."

"Who said I want to give you a dollar?" Zu Qi said.

Xue Jue didn't speak, and glanced at Zu Qi suspiciously.

Quietly for a few seconds, Zu Qi flashed a sly in his eyes. He suddenly slowed down his tone and said in an ambiguous tone: "How about rewarding you with a kiss?"

The air was completely silent now.

Xue Jue blushed instantly: "...get off."

Zu Qi couldn't help laughing.
