On the way back, Xue Jue's expression remained ugly.

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

Zu Qi walked back slowly along the path.

As a result, within a minute, Zu Qi heard Xue Jue's striding footsteps coming back again, and then the light in front of his eyes dimmed, and when he raised his eyes, he saw Xue Jue standing in front of him with a blank expression.

Zu Qi raised his lips and smiled, his eyes narrowed into crooked moon shapes, his helpless expression was a bit like treating a vexatious child: "What are you throwing your temper at?"

"You deliberately asked me to come with you, so that Bai Guangjian and his wife could not refuse your invitation." Xue Jue kept his voice low, and his straight gaze seemed to penetrate Zu Qi's soul.

Zu Qi, who had no psychological burden, suddenly felt guilty when Xue Jue looked at him like this. He subconsciously took two steps back.

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

As long as Xue Jue is in charge, Chen Meixin will never refuse Zu Qi's request to have dinner together no matter how unwilling she is. After all, the couple needs to rely on Xue Jue in many aspects of their work.

Zu Qi thought he was doing it quietly, but he didn't expect Xue Jue to find out so soon.

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

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

So, how could Xue Jue fail to see Zu Qi's carelessness?

Under Xue Jue's icy gaze, Zu Qi couldn't help but lower his head, clutching his thin coat with both hands in a daze.

Zu Qi was hesitating whether to find a reason to excuse him, but he heard Xue Jue say: "Shi Hao has already received the punishment he deserved, not to mention his bad reputation now, and he will not cause a splash in the entertainment circle in the future. Let's stop everything."

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

How did Xue Jue know about his plan? !

No, he didn't tell anyone what he was thinking at all, let alone let others know that Shi Hao called him.

Xue Jue raised the corners of his mouth, and there was a hint of sarcasm on his lips, and he said in a flat tone: "If you want people to know, you have to do nothing. If you find someone to investigate the matter of Chen Meixin and Shi Hao, I know everything about it." Chu."

After being surprised, Zu Qi quickly regained his composure. He half-closed his eyes and felt the sarcasm on Xue Jue's face was extremely glaring for a moment. Do you know that too?"

If he hadn't read this novel, he wouldn't know that Shi Hao and Tang Mourning bullied the original owner so badly before, all thanks to Chen Meixin's backing.

Now that the original owner has been despised by everyone on the Internet, Chen Meixin has an indistinct responsibility.

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

"But for me, those hurdles will never pass." Zu Qi interrupted Xue Jue sharply, perhaps because of the influence of his original body, he was very emotional, "Shi Hao's current experience is not enough to make up for his past treatment of me. I will never let him go so easily."

Xue Jue smirked: "So you use me?"

Zu Qi was slightly taken aback: "I'm sorry."

"I don't need your apology, and your apology is never from the heart." Xue Jue stared at Zu Qi for a long time with deep eyes, and then smiled, "This is indeed your style, but I don't I will go to eat, you can figure it out."

After saying that, Xue Jue turned around and left.

After he quickly disappeared from Zu Qi's sight this time, he never came back.

Zu Qi returned to the residence in three steps without stopping, Xiaoya waited outside the door, seeing him hastily greeted him, all of them worriedly said: "Madam, you are finally back."

Zu Qi asked, "Where is Xue Jue?"

Xiaoya scratched her head suspiciously: "Mister hasn't come back yet."

Zu Qi immediately understood that Xue Jue should have gone directly to his own residence, he nodded, and then entered the room with Xiaoya.

When taking a bath at night, Zu Qi found that his feet were obviously swollen. He pressed his fingers on the edematous ankle and pressed it twice. It didn't hurt, but it was very swollen and uncomfortable, and it was inconvenient to walk. .

No wonder when he went to see Bai Guangjian, his feet would feel sore after walking for a while, and his ankles were extremely uncomfortable due to the shoes.

Zu Qi put on his pajamas and lay on his side beside the bed, while pressing his feet one by one, he picked up his mobile phone and dialed Shi Hao's number.

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

Zu Qi glanced at the time on the wall clock, and said with a soft smile, "It seems that the recent incidents have not affected you much, and you have started living nightlife at nine o'clock."

"I, I didn't..." Shi Hao stammered for a moment, and hurriedly explained, "I don't have anything to do at home, so I go to bed early..."

Zu Qi was not very interested in Shi Hao's chaotic private life, so he changed the topic after a while, and told Shi Hao the time and place of the dinner appointment he and Bai Guangjian had made.

"I see, I will be there on time." Shi Hao replied repeatedly, pausing for a moment, his tone suddenly became gentle and affectionate, "Xiao Qi, actually I didn't mean to harass you on purpose that day, I just couldn't let us go The feelings of the past..."

Before he finished speaking, a vague moan sounded suddenly: "Ah... Brother Hao, please be gentle..."

Shi Hao fell silent for a moment, probably his whole face turned pale.

Zu Qi sneered: "Hello, let's recall our relationship on Tang Mourning's bed, and I won't bother you."

"Xiao Qi..."

Zu Qi hung up the phone directly.

The time agreed with Bai Guangjian was next week. During this time, Zu Qi still picked a lot of wild chrysanthemums from the space every day and gave them to Xiaoya and other maids to make powder.

In order to conceal the source of wild chrysanthemums, Zu Qi ordered the bodyguards to pick the same number of wild chrysanthemums from the back garden and stack them in his room.

In the dead of night, Zu Qi threw all the ordinary wild chrysanthemums into the space and put them there. Although it was tiring to do so, it would not arouse others' suspicion.

But after three or four days, the edema of Zu Qi's feet didn't get any relief, and it seemed to be getting worse. The pain in his feet made him toss and turn and couldn't sleep for several nights.

Xiaoya invited a doctor to see her. The doctor said that Zu Qi was eight months pregnant and was about to give birth. Swelling of lower limbs and ankles was normal. She needed to adjust her diet and do some exercise.

Try to keep your daily diet as light as possible and avoid salty and greasy food.

After hearing this, Zu Qi looked like the sky was falling.

Xiaoya looked at Zu Qi in embarrassment, and her facial features were almost wrinkled with nervousness: "Madam, you really have to listen to Mr., and stop eating greasy food like 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 at all by giving him 1000 million.

Speaking of Xue Jue, Zu Qi remembered that Xue Jue hadn't visited him during this time, and Xu was still losing his temper about what happened that night.

Zu Qi suddenly felt annoyed and funny. Thinking about it carefully, this was the first time Xue Jue had lost his temper. It might be that his behavior really touched Xue Jue's bottom line.

At first, Zu Qi teased Xue Jue with the idea of ​​pissing Xue Jue to death, so he acted as he wanted and never considered 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, maybe it had something to do with Xue Jue not falling in love with the heroine yet.

Zu Qi still couldn't bear to think of Xue Jue's bean curd mouth before. After thinking about it, he decided to find a time to apologize to Xue Jue.

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

Seeing Zu Qi limping out from the corner of the eye, Xue Jue frowned slightly, raised his head, and looked over with stern eyes.

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

Zu Qi was taken aback by Xue Jue's expression of looking death at home, subconsciously took two steps back, and said with trembling lips: "Brother, I just borrowed your name a little that day, you don't want to kill me with me, right?"

As soon as the words fell, the towel in his hand was snatched by Xue Jue.

"?"

Zu Qi looked bewildered, turned his head in a hurry, and in the next second faced Xue Jue's face covered with black lines.

The two stared at each other for a while, Xue Jue sighed and said, "Where's 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 drenched towel and went into the bathroom, and came out with the hair dryer after a while. He supported Zu Qi to lean against the bed, and adjusted the hair dryer to a medium-power hot air.

Xue Jue's fingers were long, with cold fingertips, and when he moved gently through Zu Qi's hair, he felt an indescribable sense of comfort.

Zu Qi narrowed his eyes comfortably, with a contented expression on his face, like a kitten having tasted fresh fish soup, and soon fell asleep in the warm wind.

Half asleep and half awake, Zu Qi felt that Xue Jue put away the hair dryer, hugged his waist and let him lie flat on the bed, and then began to gently knead his ankles again.

That night, it was rare for Zu Qi not to be bothered by the pain in his feet.

For the next few days, Xue Jue would quietly appear while Zu Qi was sleeping, helping him massage his calves and ankles, and disappear without a trace after dawn.

Under Xue Jue's severe reprimand to Xiaoya and Butler Zhang, the roast goose and fried chicken legs and other greasy food on Zu Qi's table were completely removed.

It wasn't until the day before the appointment that Zu Qi's feet finally subsided. He asked Steward Zhang to arrange a driver to take him to the Cuiyue Pavilion restaurant that Bai Guangjian had booked in advance. When he got in the car, he found that the driver was the stern-faced 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 turned up involuntarily.

"I knew you would go." Zu Qi propped his chin, looked at Xue Jue with a smile, "For the sake of your obedience, why don't I give you a reward."

Xue Jue started the car with a blank expression: "I don't need that dollar."

"Who said I'm going to give you a dollar?" Zu Qi said.

Xue Jue didn't speak, but glanced suspiciously at Zu Qi from the corner of his eye.

After a few seconds of silence, a sly look flashed in Zu Qi's eyes. He suddenly slowed down and said in an ambiguous tone, "How about rewarding you with a kiss?"

The air was completely silent now.

Xue Jue blushed instantly: "...Get lost."

Zu Qi couldn't help laughing.
