Chapter 48 - I
How presumptuous.
Qin Yizhi frowned slightly and refused coldly, “No need.”
Xie Qi breathed a sigh of relief and said to Qin Yizhi, “I was just kidding…”
Qin Yizhi said seriously, “But it wasn’t funny at all.”
Xie Qi: “…”
Xie Qi said awkwardly, “So that was a cold joke.”
“…” Qin Yizhi changed the subject and said, “Let’s go.”
Xie Qi followed Qin Yizhi downstairs. Qin Yizhi thought of something and asked, “Where are your friends?”
Xie Qi said, “They should play in the game room.”
Qin Yizhi asked in a low voice, “You didn’t like playing games?”
Xie Qi said seriously, “It wasn’t good for my eyes. I didn’t like playing.”
Qin Yizhi thought of something, “Did you bring the eye drops?”
Xie Qi was a little confused, took out the drops from his pocket, and replied, “I brought them.”
Xie Qi was thinking, how did Qin Yizhi even know that he needed to carry eye drops with him? Very attentive.
Qin Yizhi said nothing.
After sitting in the car, Xie Qi shifted his body somewhat uncomfortably.
Qin Yizhi noticed it and asked in a low voice, “Are you feeling uncomfortable?”
Xie Qi said, “These kinds of pants touched my butt crack.”
Qin Yizhi: “…”
His eyes fell on Xie Qi’s face. There was nothing on his face, only those golden eyes showed a hint of trouble.
Compared to the time when he hid his reluctance to commit himself to kissing him and calling him husband for the sake of his family, now Xie Qi was showing his true self.
Qin Yizhi said in a calm tone, “Next time the formal dress will be made looser for you.”
Xie Qi said, as if to comfort himself, “It doesn’t matter, I’ll just sit down, maybe it won’t be a problem when sitting.”
Qin Yizhi said: “…”
He turned his head and stopped looking at Xie Qi.
Xie Qi said to Qin Yizhi, “Where is your secretary?”
Qin Yizhi said, “In the back.”
Xie Qi looked behind and saw that the secretary had gotten into another car and was following them.
Qin Yizhi suddenly asked, “Have you ever been to a similar occasion before?”
Xie Qi was stunned, “Of course not.”
He paused, then realized after a while, “Are you talking about my childhood? Have you checked it too?”
Qin Yizhi said, “It’s just a basic investigation, not very detailed.”
Xie Qi didn’t have time to get angry and said, “It happened before, I was quite young at that time, nine or ten years old, it wasn’t very nice.”
Qin Yizhi asked, “Why?”
Probably Qin Yizhi’s tone was quite gentle when he asked, so Xie Qi somehow relaxed and said, “There was a fight. At that time, an aunt brought a white cat over, but she didn’t care and let the cat run around. A friend of mine caught it and killed it. I saw it and beat him.”
Xie Qi’s tone became sarcastic, “After the big fuss, they falsely accused me of killing the cat. He still had blood on his body from cat abuse, but those adults actually believed the lie.”
He didn’t say anything else, and Qin Yizhi understood. His tone softened, and he said, “…I will believe you no matter what.”
Xie Qi blinked his eyes, suddenly feeling guilty. He turned his head and said, “Then don’t be so sure. I am not very honest and capable of telling lies.”
Qin Yizhi paused, “For example?”
Xie Qi hesitated for a moment, but still said it, “At that time, when I was short of money, your mother insisted on thinking that I was the one you liked, and she said that you liked me. I struggled a bit, but she gave too much temptation, so I ‘admitted it.'”
After he finished speaking, he looked at Qin Yizhi and saw that Qin Yizhi’s expression became gloomy. It became a bit biting cold, and Xie Qi couldn’t help but freeze. His throat was dry, and he said dryly, “I don’t want to make any excuses for this matter. After all, I did have a wrong idea, and I also hope that you stay in comatose longer so that I can earn some money.”
After saying this, he felt a little annoyed to himself. He actually liked Qin Yizhi. Qin Yizhi was willing to pay for him and his family. As a partner, he was full of sincerity, behaved like a close friend in life, and was as tolerant and gentle as an elder brother. To be honest, he was a really good person.
Fan Qingyue said he was hard-hearted, but in fact, he was not. Of course, he could feel the kindness of others toward him, but to be honest, his former friends also done the same like Fan Qingyue and Li Siwen. It might seem good at first, but at the critical moment, they still backstabbed him and framed him.
Xie Qi’s definition of friends had changed since then, and he didn’t think he could make any more friends. Fan Qingyue and Li Siwen were a surprise.
He never mentioned his previous friendships to Fan Qingyue and Li Siwen, which made them misunderstand he was “cold at heart”.
Qin Yizhi did not approach him as a friend from the beginning, but as a partner and now married partner.
Therefore, it was easier for Xie Qi to get close to him.
Now he was a little worried about Qin Yizhi’s impression of him. He couldn’t help but feel more and more annoyed about his unnecessary confession. Even if he had some dark thoughts, he didn’t need to say them out.
Xie Qi’s face was expressionless, but his golden eyes dimmed a bit, showing frustration and annoyance that others could easily see.
Qin Yizhi’s jawline tightened, his thin lips twitched under the shadow, and he said in a cold tone, “It doesn’t matter, this is human nature, you have done a good job.”
Xie Qi listened to his voice and couldn’t help but feel a little uneasy in his heart. “Are you angry?”
Qin Yizhi said in a firm tone, “No, not angry.”
Xie Qi said: “…”
It didn’t sound like he was not angry.
He turned to look at Qin Yizhi. His face was already gloomy and cold, his narrow eyes were slightly lowered, and his eyebrows were sharp and cold, like the cold light flowing on a sharp blade, which made people fearful.
Regardless of Qin Yizhi’s occasional kindness and gentleness, his appearance was so cold and oppressive. When he was unhappy, the coldness flowing out of him could make people’s hearts freeze.
Xie Qi stopped talking and didn’t dare to ask again.
In his heart, he once again had a profound understanding of the barriers between them.
He reflected on himself that at an age when he was not afraid of anything, he would still feel a little afraid of Qin Yizhi like this.
No choice, better shut up.
