The wealthy man who got married in a flash marriage can’t hide his wife’s vest anymore
Chapter 319: We are both fallen people at the end of the world
Xue Yuncheng blurted out on impulse.
After saying this, he had the idea of just giving up and confessing everything.
As the seconds passed, this thought became stronger.
Turning around, he met Qing Li's clear, confused eyes, which also contained a hint of suspicion, and swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth.
At this moment Qing Li looked at him with eyes wide open and a bit dazed. She didn't expect Xue Yuncheng to have such a big reaction.
The reason why she said that was that she didn't want to put any psychological burden on those close to her, such as what if I didn't arrive in time, what would be the consequences if the rescue was not timely.
She didn't want to let the people close to her fall into this kind of emotion.
"Xue, Professor Xue?"
Faced with Qing Li's cautious yet tentative address, Xue Yuncheng's inner struggle became more intense.
He felt that he should let her know his feelings for her, at least once.
This idea continued to rise and began to dominate.
Xue Yuncheng simply parked the car on the side of the road, turned around and looked at her with burning eyes.
"Qing Li, you, you still don't understand..."
Xue Yuncheng looked at her rapidly widening black eyes, "...You are my sister to me, and as a brother, I naturally have obligations!"
The last note was like a deflated ball, and his blood quickly flowed back and cooled down, and then returned to its place.
Qing Li: "..."
Shock her!
She thought... not thought, that the gesture just now really seemed like a confession of love, but in the end... it turned out that she was a bit narcissistic.
Maybe it's just excessive narcissism.
Qing Li smiled bitterly, "Let's just say, could you please not speak in that tone? I almost misunderstood."
Xue Yuncheng looked gloomy, lowered his eyes to hide the emotions in his eyes, and asked in a dull voice: "What's the misunderstanding?"
After Qing Li knew about the misunderstanding, he felt relieved and started joking unconsciously, "I thought you were going to confess your love to me."
Xue Yuncheng glanced sideways and asked in a nonchalant manner: "If I were to confess my feelings to you, what would you do?"
Qing Li shook his head, "I don't know, but I don't think you will."
Xue Yuncheng remained silent, feeling very depressed. How could she be so sure that it wouldn't happen?
"Don't think too much. I'll set a reminder tone. If you have the conditions, call me as soon as possible. I really don't want this kind of thing to happen again."
Xue Yuncheng restarted the car and gave her a warning look after he finished speaking. When he saw her nodding repeatedly, he let out a breath and continued driving.
He felt very upset when he thought about Qing Li being bullied at the center of the storm and he was unable to rush to stand by her side in the first place.
Looking at the scene of the car reversing outside, Qing Li's heart has not yet completely calmed down.
For a moment just now, she really thought he was going to confess his feelings, but thinking about his past and the person he saw through her, Qing Li felt that she was thinking too much.
Waving to Qing Li and watching her enter the courtyard, Xue Yuncheng silently lit a cigarette, leaned his slender body against the car body, and slowly exhaled a puff of smoke.
The man in the corner was also smoking like him.
In the dim alley, a figure walked out slowly, extinguished the cigarette butt in his hand, put it into a small box and stuffed it into his pocket.
Xue Yuncheng said indifferently, "Are people like you all so cautious?"
Li Yanxing said disapprovingly: "A thousand-mile dam is destroyed by an ant hole. Any small mistake may lead to irreversible consequences."
They can't afford to make that mistake.
The two men sat down on the steps where the light could not reach them.
"Give up?" Li Yanxing looked at him teasingly.
Xue Yuncheng's expression instantly turned cold, "Are you spying on Qing Li?"
Li Yanxing chuckled, "Don't be so nervous. I have ten thousand ways to know what you talked about in the car. There's no need to monitor it."
Xue Yuncheng snorted coldly, "Since you have ten thousand ways, why are you coming out to test me?"
After one or two rounds, both knew that the other party was not easy to talk to.
Li Yanxing had indeed come to test them. He was very curious and judging from their appearance, they seemed to be almost collapsing, but not completely.
Everyone has gossip to share, let alone Qing Li's gossip. From the looks of it, Xue Yuncheng should become his teammate.
"Maybe it will be less painful if I give up now." Li Yanxing said leisurely.
Xue Yuncheng glanced at him sideways, "Like you?"
Li Yanxing: "..."
He chuckled and nodded, "Yes, like me."
Seeing this, Xue Yuncheng no longer targeted him. He took out a cigarette and hung it in his mouth depressedly, with the flame lit under the cigarette. He glanced at the hand that Li Yanxing stretched out.
A cigarette, the action of lighting a cigarette, the distance between two people is no longer so far.
"I was wondering what she would do if I had expressed my feelings clearly just now." Xue Yuncheng exhaled a puff of smoke.
Li Yanxing held a cigarette in his mouth and looked up, "Anyway, I expressed my feelings, and then nothing happened."
The only thing left now should be the friendship of the comrades who had rescued her abroad, oh, and the friendship he had with her under orders to protect her.
In fact, if he didn't fight for it, the job of protecting her wouldn't fall to him.
Xue Yuncheng tilted his head to look at him, "Since there is no hope, don't you feel uncomfortable watching him like this every day?"
Li Yanxing laughed and tapped off the ash from his cigarette. "If I were to say that I'd be happy to see her every day, you wouldn't believe me."
Xue Yuncheng said nothing.
Thaksin, because he does the same.
Sad, but also happy.
"Our kind of work is destined not to be seen in the light of day, and I can't give Qingli a future, so why should I embarrass myself and her?"
Of course, these words were just to comfort himself. In other words, if Qing Li was interested in him, he would not let her go even if he risked his life.
He narrowed his eyes and looked at Xue Yuncheng, "Why, do you regret not telling the truth just now?"
Xue Yuncheng lowered his head, "I don't regret it."
He is actually a little glad now. If he had told it, he doesn't know what the situation would be like now.
But what is certain is that once Qing Li realizes what is happening, she will probably start avoiding him.
Instead of being like now, he can appear beside her anytime, anywhere, or even for no reason.
Just like He Jiangyu, he had to think hard to find an excuse to have a chance to meet her.
Thinking of this, he felt a strange sense of superiority.
Li Yanxing let out a long sigh, "Listen to me, that woman is very smart. If she has feelings for you, she will be able to find out even if you try your best to hide it."
Xue Yuncheng smiled bitterly.
He knew, he knew it very well.
Qing Li had no feelings for him, so if he wasn't direct, she wouldn't notice because she didn't mean it.
And just today, just now, he personally confirmed another level of relationship.
From now on, I'm afraid Qingli will only treat him as a brother.
In fact, this was also his unintentional guidance. He was extremely cautious because he was afraid of losing.
"Come to think of it, it's that bastard He Jiangyu who got it but didn't know how to cherish it." Li Yanxing didn't know whether he should be envious or annoyed with his tone.
The only woman he had ever fallen in love with, but whom he could not get, was first bound by a marriage contract and then abandoned.
Oh, Qingli threw away the worn-out shoes.
Thinking of this, I felt a little better.
That bastard didn't deserve her.
Xue Yuncheng didn't say anything. He thought He Jiangyu would completely kill himself, but he seemed to have suddenly awakened some time ago.
Whether it was doing things or talking, it was completely different from when he was with Qing Li before.
Peeling off Qingli's defenses layer by layer.
If this goes on, it’s really hard to say whether Qing Li will change his mind.
They even made a plan to have hotpot tonight, but it was postponed to tomorrow due to some things.
Don't ask him how he knew.
Someone like He Jiangyu would actually eat hotpot with others!
The two men looked at each other in silence, staring at the closed red-painted door in shock.
In the courtyard, Qing Li was about to go to bed after taking a shower when she saw two missed calls from He Jiangyu.
Qing Li felt a little embarrassed thinking about the temporary change of time today, as he had agreed to treat him to dinner.
Qing Li called back and the phone was connected after one ring.
"Nowadays……"
Before she could say anything, she heard He Jiangyu ask, "What happened in the laboratory?"
Matters like this involve the reputation of the Huayan Institute, which is kept confidential to the outside world. He was able to learn about the situation through many channels.
Qingli is a man of his word and generally won't make any last-minute changes to agreed things.
"It's not a big deal, it's been resolved."
Her casual words did not make He Jiangyu feel happy. He intuitively felt that it was related to what happened last night.
"If you don't tell me, I'll check it out."
Qing Li had no choice but to briefly explain the situation, and added at the end: "I'll treat you tomorrow night. I won't break my promise to treat you."
He Jiangyu curled his lips. Is it because of a meal?
"Aren't you busy lately?"
After talking to He Jiangyu for an hour without realizing it, Qing Li spoke with some surprise.
What did they say? I just explained it, how come an hour had passed?
Every time when I feel that the call is about to end, I immediately move on to the next topic, but after all, there is only one topic!
He Jiangyu was wearing headphones and handling the work at hand while saying, "I have nothing to do recently. Miss Jiang finally invited me to dinner, so I have to make time for it."
On the other side of the computer, Assistant Cui, who had just answered the video call, almost rolled his eyes.
It looks like the meeting with Mr. Xiao tomorrow night will have to be postponed for another day.
Is the boss in love?
If this happened while the marriage was still going on, could your wife still divorce you?
It's a little late to wake up, but not too late.
The next morning, Qing Li came to the Huayan Institute as usual. Lu Qingping was not there, and she had to finish the project.
Fortunately, the main research progress is on her side, so the impact on the entire research project is not too great.
Qing Li had just put on his white coat when Xue Ning ran in from outside, panting and saying, "Professor Jiang, it's bad, Professor Xue has been taken away by the police!"
Qing Li frowned, quickly took off his white coat, and walked outside while asking about the situation.
Xue Ning shook her head, "I don't know either. I happened to meet Director Xiao when I came to the unit, and he asked me to come find you!"
"Where's Director Xiao?"
"Director Xiao has already gone to the Public Security Bureau!"
