Love Ignites A Prairie Fire

Chapter 3. The marriage contract thing. Because you worked me so hard last night.

It just so happened that Qi Huan was in a freshly showered state at this moment, and even her hair was still half wet. While Qu Jianshen was, needless to say, wearing a bathrobe that didn’t fit at all, with suspicious marks on his neck.

Anyone would have thought more about such a picture.

Qi Huan anxiously explained, “I just had too much to drink last night. Qu Jianshen sent me back. Nothing else happened.”

Ye Song Lan’s face had four words written plainly: I don’t believe it.

“You say a few words too!” Qi Huan walked next to Qu Jianshen and lowered her voice threateningly, “You talk properly to her. No speaking about anything unnecessary.”

The voice was not low at all, so Ye Song Lan could hear it clearly.

Qu Jianshen had already felt Qi Huan’s hand on his waist, as if he only needed to say one wrong word and the punishment would immediately descend on him.

He raised his lips slightly and said with a smile, “Huanhuan is right about everything.”

“He Ying, are you free now? Let’s talk about the kids.”

Jian He Ying was at home at the moment, and when she heard this, she immediately decided to make an appointment to meet at the cafe.

“I’m going out to meet Song Lan.” She said as she grabbed her bag.

Qu Shuyuan froze for a moment and asked, “Why are you suddenly asking to meet outside?”

Jian He Ying curled her lips and smiled, “She said there was something about Jianshen and Huanhuan. It was good news, so she asked me to go over to discuss it.”

When Qu Shuyuan heard this, he was a little moved. “Then bring me along too, and call Old Qi. We haven’t had a get-together for a long time.”

 Jian He Ying’s delicate eyebrows turned slightly, and her smile was light as she spoke, “Aren’t you working? Why are you thinking of going out to play?”

Qu Shuyuan: “……”

In the cafe.

Ye Song Lan waved her hand when she saw Jian He Ying enter the door, and the waiter came forward to serve her.

The two of them ordered a cup of coffee each. They finished up and started talking about business.

“I went to Huanhuan’s place on business today, and then I saw Jianshen.” Ye Song Lan didn’t sell anyway. She spoke straight away.

Jian He Ying raised her eyebrows in surprise, “Jianshen dares to go to Huanhuan’s house? Didn’t Huanhuan kick him out?”

Since childhood, the two had had a bit of a rivalry. Although they had been bickering, they barely got along. The elders were very willing to match, but they were helpless.

“Do you think it’s that simple?” Ye Songlan could not hide the smile between her eyebrows, so she continued, “When I went there, Jianshen’s clothes were on the floor, and he was wearing Huanhuan’s clothes. So, at a glance, he had spent the night.”

Jian He Ying’s head tilted as she pondered, “Something doesn’t seem right. Jianshen was wearing Huanhuan’s clothes?”

Ye Song Lan nodded: “According to Huanhuan, she said she had drunkenly vomited on Jianshen, but when I asked her for details, she became evasive. I wouldn’t believe it if there was nothing wrong.”

At this, Jian He Ying also pondered for a moment, and then said suspiciously, “When did they get so close?”

“That’s right. I always thought the two of them didn’t get along before, but it turns out that the relationship isn’t as simple as we thought.” Ye Songlan was also surprised.

Jian He Ying mused, “In that case, let’s each find them to talk about that matter. It was originally set to happen.”

Ye Song Lan smiled and nodded, “Good.”

    ***

Qi Huan was still a little surprised by Ye Song Lan’s departure, but the big-hearted Qu Jianshen was already sitting at the dining table and starting to eat breakfast.

He said abruptly, “This meal was bought by Aunt Lan, so you still owe me a meal.”

When Qi Huan was still standing there contemplating, she heard this. She was a bit speechless: “Doesn’t the breakfast my mother bought count as mine?”

Qu Jianshen raised his eyes slightly and then said in a leisurely tone, “Or else I’ll call Aunt Lan now and talk to her about what you said last night when you were drunk?”

Qi Huan was so angry that she stuffed the bun into his mouth, “Eat your breakfast. Let me owe that meal first!”

Qu Jianshen’s eyebrows arched, and he smiled wantonly.

Qi Huan’s stomach growled at this time. She remembered that she hadn’t eaten breakfast yet, so she couldn’t be filled up by Qu Jianshen first. She still had to eat.

Ye Song Lan had bought too much breakfast. Qi Huan had reason to suspect that she treated her like a pig. This was clearly enough for a trio……

When eating, the table was quiet for a long time.

It was not until Qi Huan glanced at Qu Jianshen’s neck that she noticed the red marks were too conspicuous. Just now, in the chaos, she could not even ask in detail. Plus, Qu Jianshen hadn’t answered, so she instead became more and more curious.

“Didn’t you go away on a business trip?” Qi Huan guessed, “Did you go to meet your lover, by the way, so she left the red mark on your neck?”

Qu Jianshen’s face sank slightly, his dark eyes staring at Qi Huan. His voice carried a thin layer of anger, as if he extremely disliked this statement: “Do you want me to ask the property owner to transfer the surveillance in the lift last night, to see how you stripped me of my clothes and left a mark on my neck in the process?”

Qi Huan: ??!!!

It took her a long time to digest this sentence, and she spoke with a panicked face, “How, how is that possible?”

“It’s not enough that you scratched your neck with a red mark; you even threw up all over me after I managed to get you into the house.” Qu Jianshen frowned, “Do you think I should ask you for moral damages?”

Qi Huan: “……”

She knew that Qu Jianshen had a cleanliness fetish. This incident should have made him quite mad, so when she thought about it, she suddenly felt a bit more guilty in her heart.

“I’m sorry. I’ll pay you back for this shirt.” Qi Huan lowered her head, like a child who meekly admitted her mistake.

The corners of Qu Jianshen’s lips curved slightly: “There’s no need to go to such trouble, but how about you being my date for the dinner party in a few days?”

The guilt in Qi Huan’s heart instantly dissipated, and she pooh-poohed, “You’re thinking too beautifully. I won’t do it.”

The smile on his lips did not fade. “That’s a shame.”

Qi Huan lowered her head and ate her bun, but couldn’t help but mutter, “What’s wrong with Xu Ling? He’s so slow in coming.”

Qu Jianshen’s eyes blinked and did not respond to the words.

    ***

It was only after breakfast was over that Xu Ling arrived.

However, Qu Jianshen decided that he wanted to take a shower here.

Qi Huan puffed out her cheeks and was a little reluctant, but there was nothing she could do, “Then you should wash faster and you are not allowed to linger in my bathroom much.”

Because it was a more private space, Qi Huan was also a bit uncomfortable letting a man in, but considering what Qu Jianshen had done yesterday, she put up with it.

Qu Jianshen did not drag his feet and quickly changed into a new suit and came out. Compared to the unconventional bathrobe just now, now standing there, he was a supermodel.

Qi Huan felt like skimming her eyes and muttered in a low voice, “A human model.”

“Scolding me again?” Qu Jianshen buttoned his cufflinks as he came to stand next to Qi Huan.

Qi Huan was startled and turned around, crashing into Qu Jianshen’s arms. It was clearly the shower gel she had just used, a scent she was familiar with, but mixed with Qu Jianshen’s scent, it made a difference.

The sweetness turned into freshness and almost pounced on her face.

Qi Huan’s heart thumped wildly a few times. She hurriedly took two steps back, but her cheeks felt like they were on fire. It was so hot that she was panicking, “You should hurry up and leave when you’re done bathing. Don’t stay at my house.”

Qu Jianshen looked at her with a smile, “You worked me so hard last night, and now you’re kicking me out?”

The words sounded a little more ambiguous, so Qi Huan couldn’t help but push him, “Hurry up and go.”

When he reached the entrance, Qu Jianshen changed into his own shoes, then he touched the top of Qi Huan’s hair, “Drinking should be done within your means. Don’t do that next time.”

After saying that, he opened the door and went out.

Qi Huan stared blankly at the door closing, and she even felt that her heart began to pound.

“You said you were drunk last night, but you directed the call to me to Qu Jianshen?” Jiang Ruo Xia puffed out a laugh after hearing this.

The laughter got louder and louder.

She was originally seeking comfort, but she ended up being laughed at, so she had a question mark on her face.

“What’s so funny? Don’t you think I’m miserable? ” She asked in an exasperated voice.

Jiang Ruo Xia managed to hold back her laughter and said, “Qu Jianshen was puked all over by you and took care of you all night, so he’s the worse off anyway.”

Qi Huan: “……”

Jiang Ruo Xia wiped the tears that had escaped from the corners of her eyes from laughing so hard, and couldn’t help but ask curiously, “Is Qu Jianshen’s figure very good? You saw his flesh early in the morning. Don’t you have any thoughts?”

“Yes.” Qi Huan nodded, “I thought I saw a ghost.”

“………” Not really.

Qi Huan decided not to think about it anymore and got up, “Why don’t you go to the mall with me? I’ll go buy a shirt for Qu Jianshen.”

Jiang Ruo Xia snorted: “He said that there was no need to pay for it and you are still thinking about helping him buy it. It really is the love of a childhood sweetheart.”

Qi Huan’s eyes curled in a smile. “I’m called a beautiful person with a good heart.”

Jiang Ruo Xia couldn’t listen to this anymore and hurriedly dragged her to the mall.

Qi Huan suspected that the shirt Qu Jianshen was wearing was a private custom-made item, possibly the only one in the world. She didn’t expect to pay for the same, but she still went to the top floor of Ze’an department store, which was the gathering place of high-end brands.

When she entered the shop, the shop manager recognised Qi Huan and took the initiative to ask, “Miss Qi Huan, what would you like to buy?”

“Men’s shirts.” Qi Huan quoted her size, “For young men, the best ones.”

Jiang Ruo Xia gossiped excitedly again from the side, “Wow, you even know his size?”

“……” Qi Huan almost broke down, “Xia Xia, you’re not likeable like that.”

The shopkeeper was worthy of being a shopkeeper. He did not look the least bit impressed, so she asked the shopkeeper to pick the most suitable models in the shop, and then introduced them one by one.

Qi Huan picked the one that looked the best to her, and then took out her card to settle the bill.

“Don’t tell my parents about the men’s shirt I bought.” She immediately instructed.

The shopkeeper smiled and responded, “Yes, Miss Qi Huan.”

Then, after the two of them left, the shopkeeper immediately dialled out the phone.

Ye Song Lan hung up the phone and smiled confidently at Qi Hao: “Just now, Huanhuan bought the men’s shirt. It must have been for Jianshen. You see, it’s done.”

Qi Hao was still a little dissatisfied. “But they’re moving too fast.”

“You should mind your own business.” Ye Song Lan glared at him, and then looked down and called Qi Huan.

When she received Ye Song Lan’s call, Qi Huan was also confused. But after her saying that she had something important to announce at home, she took a taxi back anyway.

As soon as she entered the house, Qi Huan put on her slippers and asked in a cheerful tone, “What’s the big deal that you want me to come back for? Is it because you guys want to give me a billion?”

Ye Song Lan smiled and said, “Your engagement to Jane Shen, is that a big deal?”

Qi Huan’s eyes widened in shock: “What?”
