    Chapter 12. A token of affection. I already have a family.

    Downstairs in the Community.

    Qi Huan was about to get out of the car, but Qu Jianshen grabbed her wrist.

    She looked up and asked, in confusion, “What’s wrong?”

    Qu Jianshen’s eyes were slightly narrowed as he asked, “Why aren’t you wearing the bracelet I gave you today?”

    Qi Huan looked a little unnatural. She lowered her eyes and replied, “Because it’s too valuable. I’m afraid I’ll lose it or break it, so I’m not wearing it.”

    “Bracelets are meant to be worn.” Qu Jianshen pursed his lips and said, “If you lose it, I’ll just give you another string.”

    Qi Huan looked at Qu Jianshen steadily, “You know the price of this bracelet. Even if you have money, you can’t just give it away, right?”

    Qu Jianshen narrowed his eyes slightly and asked in return, “Why do you think I gave it away casually?”

    Qi Huan was so stunned that she obeyed Qu Jianshen’s words, and she didn’t move any further.

    Qu Jianshen smoothly took off Qi Huan’s earrings. Then he looked at her ears, which were so red that they were almost dripping blood, and said with a smile, “I know these are your favourite earrings, but they are now mine.”

    Qi Huan touched her empty earlobe, and the warmth on it almost left her nowhere to hide.

    “You, what are you doing with my earrings ……,” she settled down, but she was still a little panicked, “If you take one like this, how can I wear the other?”

    This pair of vine, hooped diamond encrusted earrings was designed for her favourite designer, and this pair was the only one. She often wore it out, but she really couldn’t bear Qu Jianshen taking it away.

    “You give them back to me!” Qi Huan made a move to grab them, but Qu Jianshen put them directly into the inside pocket of his suit.

    It was right next to her chest, and Qi Huan’s hand stopped just before it reached there.

    Qu Jianshen was emboldened, and the corners of his lips hooked up: “You want to take it back?”

    Qi Huan gritted her teeth. Her heart struggled for a long time, and finally she couldn’t help but reach into Qu Jianshen’s suit.

    This was the first time that Qi Huan felt Qu Jianshen’s heartbeat so close to her. It was so hot and strong that he couldn’t hide it even through his shirt.

    Qi Huan’s fingertips trembled. She couldn’t make the next move, and she didn’t know how to feel down.

    “Why don’t you continue?” But Qu Jianshen didn’t move. His face was light and breezy, but under his eyes, a dark tide was rising.

    Qi Huan was abashed, and before she could think of her next step, there was a knock on the window outside.

    An aunt of about fifty years old peeked out, her eyes flickering over their faces. Finally, she stopped at Qi Huan’s hand touching Qu Jianshen’s.

    Qu Jianshen pressed the button and the car window opened halfway.

    The aunt couldn’t help but remind, “This is outside the community. What is there to do at home, isn’t it not good to do it in public?”

    Boom——-

    Qi Huan only felt her cheeks were on fire, and it was so hot that she abruptly retracted her hand. She then stammered an explanation, “Auntie …… is not, we ……”

    Qu Jianshen smiled blandly, “Thanks for the reminder, I’ll pay attention next time.”

    Qi Huan:?

    After Auntie left, Qu Jianshen asked with a sideways smile, “Do you want to continue touching?”

    “What do you mean by touching? I’m taking back my own stuff!” Qi Huan couldn’t help but retort, but she also thought that now was not a good opportunity so she said, “You wait for me!”

    After saying that, she opened the car door and went out.

    Qu Jianshen had a smile under his eyes, but then he said with a laugh, “Think about what I proposed to you, I’ll be happy to be the driver.”

    Qi Huan puffed up and slammed the door to leave.

        ***

     Recently, there were a lot of trivial matters. Qi Huan’s last comic hadn’t been finished for long, so she wanted to take a break for a while, but she never thought that the editor would not let her go.

    [Editor Lingyue]: Is the new pit is being prepared?

    [Editor Lingyue]: Do you have any inspiration yet.

    [Editor Lingyue]: Readers are waiting for you, don’t you feel sorry for them?

    [Grapefruit Soda]: I’ve been busy recently. I’ll definitely do it next time!

    [Editor Lingyue]: …..

    Qi Huan ran away without any hesitation. 

    Qu Jianyi once again found Qi Huan because of a performance, and because of the first experience, this time she was more familiar with it.

    “Where is the performance this time?” Qi Huan asked curiously, carrying her camera.

    Qu Jianyi took Qi Huan’s arm and said with a smile, “Outside the Zain department store.”

    Qi Huan wasn’t too surprised. She pursed her lips and smiled lightly, “Then you do well today, and I’ll treat you then.”

    “It’s a deal!” Qu Jianyi happily agreed.

    The performance went very well and Qi Huan also invited Qu Janyi and her friends to have dinner together afterwards.

    “Sister Huanhuan, we are too embarrassed that you take pictures for us and always treat us. This is a small gift we prepared, Sister Huanhuan must accept it.”

    Qi Huan was stunned for a moment. She didn’t expect them to have prepared a gift for her.

    “It was Jianyi who said that Sister Huanhuan likes to wear all kinds of silk scarves very much, so we bought one to give to Sister. We hope Sister Huanhuan will like it.” The girl said shyly.

    Qi Huan immediately opened it to look at it. The silk scarf only had a simple striped pattern, simple but capable. She directly used the silk scarf to tie her long hair in a low ponytail, then asked the girls, “Does it look good?”

    This direct action also made the girls’ faces happy and they hurriedly replied, “It looks good!”

    Qu Jianyi also smiled and said, “I said that Sister Huanhuan will like it.”

    “Is there enough roast meat to eat?” Qi Huan was in a good mood, “Ask the boss to add a few more plates. We’ll have enough for today.”

    “Thank you Sister Huanhuan!”

    After it was over, Qu Jianyi, however, did not leave immediately. She stood next to Qi Huan and wanted to say something.

    “Say it. Just now I saw that you seemed to have a lot to say to me.” Qi Huan said with a smile.

    Qu Jianyi pursed her lips and spoke with some loss, “I met the assistant director of a drama group at school yesterday and she said that I was perfect for a role in a web drama she was currently filming. She asked if I was interested.”

    “You really want to go, but Qu Jianshen definitely won’t agree to it, right?” Qi Huan immediately found out what the problem was.

    Qu Jianyi nodded: “My brother has always felt that the entertainment industry is unclean and messy, so he will definitely not agree.”

    Qi Huan frowned slightly: “But this is your own life. Why should he interfere?”

    “But I can’t argue with him. He’s the one making all the decisions at home.” Qu Jianyi looked up, but her expression was bewildered, “Sister Huanhuan, shouldn’t I give up?”

    Qi Huan sighed and stroked her head again, “If you really like it, don’t give up. Let Qu Jianshen see your determination. It’s not like it’s a violation of the law. Your life is still so long, what’s wrong with sticking to your hobby.”

    Qu Jianyi’s eyes lit up, “I’ll listen to Sister Huanhuan!”

        ***

    “What about the pair of earrings you always wear? Didn’t you like them so much? Why don’t you wear them anymore?”

    As soon as they met, Jiang Ruixia stared at Qi Huan’s ears and asked.

    Qi Huan sat down with a huff, “Don’t mention it, Qu Jianshen took them away.”

    Jiang Ruixia froze, “What did he do with your earrings?”

    “He said it was evidence to use as a shield. Do you think he’s sick?” Qi Huan couldn’t help but spit out.

    Jiang Ruixia narrowed her eyes and mused, “He really said that?”

    “Really!” Qi Huan was so angry that she clenched her fist, “Sometimes I really want to beat him up. Didn’t you say you thought of a new way? Hurry up and tell me, so I can quickly break this engagement!”

    After a chat, Jiang Ruixia then remembered the business and said, “This is the inspiration I got from that dog Fang Yuanhang.”

    “Oh?” Qi Huan had an expectant look on her face.

    Jiang Ruixia asked, “Have you ever heard of the ultimate matchmaking man?”

    “I’ve heard of it, never seen it.” Qi Huan replied, after all, she had never been on a blind date either.

    “I’ve combined examples from the internet and colleagues around me, and summed up some of the extreme requirements of an extreme dating man.” Jiang Yuxia took a sip of water and continued, “The requirements are that the woman is beautiful and highly educated. She should have a job and take care of her family. Most importantly, she should be able to do housework and take care of her parents and children. The bride price should be less and the children should be born more often.”

    Qi Huan froze for a moment, “This is quite a lot of requirements, then what do you want the man?”

    “I don’t know, maybe the man is dying of disability.” Jiang Ruixia sneered.

    Qi Huan nodded, then asked, “Then what does this have to do with me talking Qu Jianshen into breaking off the engagement?”

    “Qu Jianshen is also a man, so we can have a sex switch.” Jiang Ruixia said, “You can also talk a little more about extreme speeches.”

    “That sounds like a good idea.” Qi Huan stroked his chin in thought, “But Qu Jianshen isn’t ordinary at all. His education, family background and appearance are all top notch, and he has a nanny who specializes in household chores.”

    “Then you can attack him in this regard, saying that he is too handsome is a bad thing. It’s easy to attract butterflies, and not abide by male virtue. He should be locked up at home so that he doesn’t go out and seduce people.” Jiang Ruixia said, “Anyway, just talk nonsense, humiliate him, humiliate him badly!”

    “I’ve learned!” Qi Huan’s eyes lit up, “Xia Xia, you can do it!”

        ***

    Saturday noon.

    Qi Huan took the opportunity of inviting Qu Jianshen to dinner and brought him to an internet celebrity restaurant, where many people often came over to hit the spot. It was the first step in Qi Huan and Jiang Ruixia’s planning.

    Qu Jianshen drove and smiled: “I’m surprised that you would invite me for dinner. However, this is the first time I’ve heard of this restaurant.”

    Qi Huan arched her eyebrows, “It’s a particularly nice place, you’ll know it when you arrive.”

    The location of the restaurant wasn’t too hard to find, and after stopping the car, the two of them entered the restaurant together.

    Just by entering the door, the duo attracted everyone’s attention.

    There was no other reason than their appearance alone, which made it impossible to take their eyes off of them.

    The shop wasn’t very big, but it was decorated in a very girly way, making it a very suitable place to come over with friends or boyfriends to take photos.

    Qi Huan wasn’t surprised to see the waiter staring at Qu Jianshen, and asked with a smile, “Is there still room?”

    The waiter blushed and nodded, “Yes, there is.”

    It was the first time Qu Jianshen came to such a shop. He looked around and saw a couple coming together, and looking at the atmosphere he asked in a small smile, “Is this a date?”

    Qi Huan just ignored it and followed him to the empty seat the waiter said he would sit down.

    “Order your food.”

    Qi Huan was almost speedy, after all, the point of the day was not to eat.

    “I’ll arrange for a girl to ask for the number. You remember to cut to the chase and accuse him immediately when you get there!”

    Jiang Ruixia’s words immediately came to Qi Huan’s mind. When she looked at the other customers in the restaurant, she now felt like Jiang Ruixia had sent them to her.

    As expected, not long after, a girl boldly walked toward them.

    “Handsome guy, can you give me your contact?” The girl’s voice was not loud, but everyone else in the restaurant looked over.

    Some even looked over at Qi Huan, as if they were curious about her reaction.

    Who knew, Qi Huan was holding her cheeks, looking at the scene with an interested face. The jealousy and anger that the melon eaters wanted to see were all absent.

    Qu Jianshen smiled and spoke with an apologetic face, “Sorry, I already have a family.”
