Chapter 22. But there were some very conspicuous marks on the collarbone.

Qi Huan couldn’t believe what she heard, but on the other hand, she remained sceptical.

But after thinking about it, she finally opened the door. She was afraid that Qu Jianshen would stay outside for too long and be seen by the neighbours. It would be difficult to explain in the end.

When the door opened, Qu Jianshen raised her hand and motioned Qi Huan to look at the bag in his hand. “Is it sincerity to bring breakfast to admit your mistake, knowing that you didn’t eat breakfast?”

Qi Huan was indeed hungry. When she saw the breakfast in Qu Jianshen’s hand, her eyes lit up, but she still pretended to be reserved and said, “I am generous. You can come in.”

Qu Jianshen curled his lips and smiled. Then he followed her in.

Qi Huan didn’t have any men’s slippers at home, and she didn’t bother to get shoe covers for Qu Jianshen, so she said, “You can come in barefoot. I don’t mind you.”

“When are you going to prepare a pair of slippers for me?” Qu Jianshen took off his leather shoes and followed her, but he couldn’t help but say.

Qi Huan was slightly stunned: “Why should I prepare slippers for you?”

Qu Jianshen said slowly again, “Just kidding.”

Qi Huan gave him an exasperated glare: “Is this how you admit your mistake?”

“You lied to me that you had a boyfriend, and I hid this fake boyfriend from you. Aren’t we pretty much the same?” Qu Jianshen did not hesitate to speak. “Or we can ask Auntie and Uncle to judge?”

Qi Huan was just about to retort, but then she wimped out when she heard the next words.

“Then if you broke off the engagement, I wouldn’t have to come up with these methods.” She muttered.

Qu Jianshen’s eyes narrowed slightly, and he said in a soft voice, “Three months.”

Qi Huan froze for a moment, “What do you mean?”

“This marriage contract will last for another three months, and if you still hate it so much, we will break it off.” Qu Jianshen raised his eyebrows slightly and stared straight at Qi Huan, as if he was unwilling to let go of her every expression. “What do you think of this proposal?”

Qi Huan was a little dazed. This was the answer she had wanted to hear countless times, but the moment it came out of Qu Jianshen’s mouth, she didn’t seem to feel very happy.

It was a very strange and complicated emotion. For a while, Qi Huan couldn’t identify what it was.

“You’re really willing?” She was a little surprised.

Qu Jianshen’s brows smiled and the corners of his lips hooked, “Of course I’m willing.”

He had just learnt a new trick called using retreat as an advance.

Qi Huan pursed her lips, “Okay, three months then!”

    ***

After breakfast, and seeing that the matter of the marriage contract was temporarily resolved, Qi Huan was in a very good mood. Even the way she looked at Qu Jianshen was much kinder.

“Is this sincerity enough to admit my mistake?” Qu Jianshen helped her clean up the table, and then asked with a smile.

Qi Huan nodded stiffly, “It’s not bad.”

Qu Jianshen’s eyes flickered around the living room again, and since he didn’t see the dolls he had given her, he also asked, “Where is the pair of puppy dolls I gave you?”

At the mention of this, Qi Huan wanted to get angry again, “I threw them away! You sent them to provoke me on purpose, didn’t you?”

Qu Jianshen raised his eyebrows and said, with an innocent expression, “I had them specially made. They were obviously very cute. How could you think I was provoking you?”

The more Qi Huan looked at this expression of his, the more she felt that he was deliberately provoking her.

“Anyway, I threw it away. You can’t find it even if you look for it!” She said stiffly.

But Qu Jianshen didn’t believe her and said with a smile, “In the bedroom? Let me guess, it was placed there in the floating window?”

Qi Huan:”…..”

She sometimes thought it was a pity that Qu Jianshen hadn’t become a detective.

Qu Jianshen was sure from Qi Huan’s expression that his answer was the correct one. The corners of his lips could not help but lift slightly. “Do you have time on Sunday?”

Qi Huan looked up abruptly. She didn’t even understand how Qu Jianshen’s topic jumped so quickly. She asked warily, “What for?”

“The amusement park next to the Star Lake Hotel is just about finished. I remember when you were a kid, you said you wished there was an amusement park that had all the rides in one place, so you wouldn’t have to run to several places.” Qu Jianshen pursed his lips and said, “Do you want to go and play?”

Qi Huan’s eyes lit up, but then she was a little confuse., “Didn’t you say it would only be completed next month?”

“The park will officially open for business next month. In fact, it has already been built.” Qu Jianshen replied with a smile.

“I’ll go, ah. I’ll go!” Qi Huan couldn’t help but nod, “Of course I have time on Sunday!”

She had known for a long time that an amusement park was being built at the Star Lake Hotel. She also knew that it was a project of He-Yuan’s. Almost all of the plans and rides on it were to her liking, so she had been looking forward to it.

Qu Jianshen lowered his eyes and smiled lightly, “Then I’ll come pick you up on Sunday.”

    ***

Friday night.

Jiang Ruixia called and asked Qi Huan to dinner.

“We’re going to get drunk tonight!” She picked up her beer and poured a glass.

Qi Huan was startled and asked, “Xia Xia, what’s wrong with you?”

“There’s a vice president in the company today. I heard he’s the son of the boss of the head office, and he’s been looking for trouble all day.” Jiang Ruixia was so angry that she took another sip and said, “I’ll quit this shitty job sooner or later!”

Qi Huan frowned slightly, “It seems that not every rich kid is as hardworking and serious as Qu Jianshen.”

Jiang Ruixia spat, “He’s even harder to serve than Party A. I was so angry with him today. I feel like this job is over.”

“Didn’t you take the barista qualification before? You’ve also been saying you want to open a coffee shop, so if it’s really too tiring, why don’t you quit?” Qi Huan looked at her and said, “If you don’t have enough money, I can lend it to you on my end for an indefinite period.”

Jiang Ruixia looked up at Qi Huan’s smiling face and couldn’t help but reach out to squeeze it. “Sister Huan, don’t stay with Qu Jianshen, come with me.”

Qi Huan then retorted, “I’m not with Qu Jianshen. Don’t be ridiculous!”

Jiang Ruoxia laughed, “I know, I know. You guys just like each other but are too embarrassed to talk about it, right?”

Qi Huan looked at Jiang Ruixia’s eyes in a trance and knew that she was drunk, but her heart still almost popped out because of these words.

“No, it’s not.” She explained in a small voice.

She didn’t know if she was saying it to Jiang Ruixia or to herself.

At that moment, Jiang Ruixia slapped Qi Huan’s back. Because the force was quite strong, it shook Qi Huan, causing her to lean forward.

“Sister Huan, let’s drink together. If you have troublesome things, you can forget them when you drink.” Jiang Ruixia pushed the wine glass towards Qi Huan.

Qi Huan shook her head and refused. She knew how much she could drink. She would be down in a few glasses, and by the time Jiang Yuxia got drunk again, what would she do with the two of them here?

“I won’t drink anymore. I’m in a good mood.” She stopped Jiang Ruixia from drinking too, saying, “Qu Jianshen has already told me that if I still insist on breaking off the engagement after three months, he will agree.”

“He really said that?” Jiang Ruixia froze, and her drink dissipated a little.

Qi Huan smiled and nodded, “Do you think it’s a good thing?”

“You wouldn’t be fooled by him, would you?” Jiang Ruixia frowned, “If you want to break off the engagement, why do you have to wait three months?”

Qi Huan responded, “Right oh.”

Jiang Ruixia abruptly gave another heavy laugh, “Got it, got it. He must be going to confess his love to you within these three months. Then you can get married justifiably!”

Qi Huan: “……”

Jiang Ruixia took another sip before she started to coax, “Marriage! Marry! Marry!”

When Qi Huan saw that the other customers around her had already cast their eyes, she hurriedly shoved a piece of cabbage into Jiang Ruixia’s mouth, “Stop talking!”

Because of Jiang Ruixia’s reminder, Qi Huan began to think about the reason why Qu Jianshen had set a three-month deadline, but after thinking and thinking, she still couldn’t think of anything.

Finally, she couldn’t hold back and picked up the beer in front of her and drank it.

    ***

When Qu Jianshen received the call, he also happened to be coming out of the office.

Although it was Qi Huan’s number, the voice was not hers, which also caused him to frown slightly: “You are?”

“Jiang, Jiang Ruixia. Sister Huan is drunk. Come and pick her up ……,” she said. Her diction a little unclear.

Qu Jianshen listened to Jiang Ruixia give her address. He asked Xu Ling to drive over, only to see Qi Huan leaning on Jiang Ruixia in the barbecue restaurant, looking drunk.

“Huanhuan.” Qu Jianshen bent down slightly and called her name in a warm voice.

But Qi Huan did not look sober. Instead, she raised her head and giggled twice.

Qu Jianshen rubbed his brow and asked, “How much did she drink this time?”

Jiang Ruixia, who was still sober at the moment, replied, “Just two glasses, but she ended up drunk like this.”

She knew that Qi Huan was a poor drinker, but she didn’t expect it to be this bad. She herself had also drunk a lot, so she couldn’t take another Qi Huan away with her. Therefore, she called Qu Jianshen.

Qu Jianshen sighed helplessly. He reached out to pick up Qi Huan and said to Xu Ling behind him, “You take Miss Jiang back.”

Xu Ling nodded and asked worriedly, “Boss, is it okay for you to take Miss Qi Huan by yourself?”

Qu Jianshen looked at Qi Huan, who was lying in his arms, and picked her up directly. Then, he lowered his eyebrows and slowly smiled, “It’s not the first time. I’ve already had experience.”

After leaving the shop, Qu Jianshen carried Qi Huan towards the back seat of the car.

At that moment, Qi Huan abruptly spoke out, “Qu Jianshen?”

“Yes, it’s me.” He responded in a soft voice.

Qi Huan added the next sentence through gritted teeth, “He’s a son of a bitch!”

Qu Jianshen laughed in a low voice: “So you were thinking of me even when you were drunk.”

    ***

The next morning.

Qi Huan only felt her head heavy. She rubbed her temples and struggled to get up.

Seeing that it was her familiar room, she was relieved.

“Xia Xia is quite impressive. She still managed to bring me back after drinking so much.”

Suddenly, Qi Huan began to envy Jiang Ruixia’s drinking capacity. If she had this amount of alcohol tolerance, would she still be able to fall down after two glasses?

After leaving the bedroom, Qi Huan was about to go to the kitchen to pour a glass of water to drink because her throat was dry when she saw a person lying on the sofa.

“Qu Jianshen?” She was startled. She even thought she was blind, or else she was still drunk and not sober. “Why are you here?”

After being awakened by the voice, Qu Jianshen wrinkled his eyebrows and sat up. The suit covering his body fell off, while what was revealed was the loose white shirt inside. However, there were some very conspicuous marks on his collarbone.

Qi Huan’s heart tightened and she asked, “What happened to your neck?”

Qu Jianshen pulled the collar back, revealing the marks once again. He smiled lightly and asked in return, “What do you think?”

Remembering the last time she was drunk, Qi Huan suddenly realised, “Did I scratch it? I’m sorry, I was drunk and didn’t know.”

“No.” Qu Jianshen’s lips curled slightly, “It was you who bit it.”

Qi Huan: ??!!!
