Zhao Youting thought Qin Qiao'er was really bad at making up excuses. Even if there were guests at home, did she really have to avoid him? They were about to get married. What couldn't they tell each other?
Even if the person in the house was really Lin Wenyi, Zhao Youting wasn't that unreasonable. If she had just talked to him properly, he would have understood. But Qin Qiao'er just concealed the matter.
The more she concealed it, the more Zhao Youting suspected there was something going on between them. He felt even more heart - broken.
Zhao Youting felt infinitely sad at the moment, but he still let Qin Qiao'er get out of the car. He said to her, "Since you have guests at home, we won't disturb you for now."
Qin Qiao'er did breathe a sigh of relief when she heard Zhao Youting say this. She thought it was really great that he didn't pursue the matter. She must go home and talk to Lin Wenyi clearly, telling him not to come to her house so casually in the future.
So Qin Qiao'er walked quickly towards the door as if fleeing. When she opened the door and was about to take a breath of relief, suddenly a shadow loomed over her.
Zhao Youting put one hand on the door and the other on the door frame beside Qin Qiao'er, instantly encircling her in his arms.
Qin Qiao'er never expected that Zhao Youting would suddenly appear beside her. Before she could even react to what was happening, she was blocked at the door.
Just then, something even worse happened. Hearing the sound of the door, Lin Wenyi walked out of the house. He had been playing with the two kids inside.
But when he heard the sound, he immediately came out and saw Zhao Youting and Qin Qiao'er standing at the door, not knowing what they were doing.
In an instant, the three of them stared at each other with their six eyes, not knowing how to react.
Qin Qiao'er felt extremely headache. She didn't know how to handle this situation. The scene she feared most had finally come.
Zhao Youting and Lin Wenyi looked at each other across Qin Qiao'er. They both saw a familiar hostility in each other's eyes. Especially Zhao Youting, he couldn't stand the fact that Lin Wenyi could just walk into Qin Qiao'er's house casually.
At this time, Lin Wenyi quickly concealed his hostility. He put on a smile and walked up to Zhao Youting and Qin Qiao'er.
"Are you back? I just got back from abroad. I brought some fun things for the two kids. But since Qin Qiao'er wasn't home, I just came in."
Qin Qiao'er looked at Lin Wenyi gratefully. Fortunately, Lin Wenyi had explained, or she really didn't know how to explain this situation to Zhao Youting.
But Zhao Youting didn't listen to Lin Wenyi's explanation at all. He couldn't think about anything else now. His mind was filled with the thought that Lin Wenyi and Qin Qiao'er might be living here together.
He never thought that Qin Qiao'er had moved out just to live with Lin Wenyi. Otherwise, there was no way to explain why Lin Wenyi had the key to Qin Qiao'er's house.
Seeing that Zhao Youting's face was still not looking good, Qin Qiao'er quickly explained, "I really couldn't find a suitable house. He just said he had a property here, so I rented it from him.
Please don't misunderstand. There's nothing going on between us. We're just landlord and tenant."
Hearing Qin Qiao'er's explanation, Zhao Youting temporarily suppressed his anger. Although this explanation didn't make him very happy, it was at least more acceptable than the idea that they were living together.
So Zhao Youting calmed his emotions a bit, straightened his suit, and let go of the doorknob. Although no one invited him, he still walked into the house.
As he walked in, he sized up the room. "This house is okay."
Just then, the two kids ran out of the house and were about to run up to Qin Qiao'er, happily welcoming her home.
But when they reached the door, they happened to meet Zhao Youting walking in. They said to him in surprise, "Why are you here?"
Their tone was really hurtful. After they said that, Zhao Youting instantly felt like an outsider in this family, not welcome at all.
After the two kids said that, they also thought their words were a bit too much. Although they had decided to accept Zhao Youting in their hearts, they still felt a bit awkward around him.
"Oops, it's not..." Qin Chenchen wanted to explain, but finally closed his mouth. He didn't know how to organize his words to tell Zhao Youting what was on his mind.
But Qin Chenchen's hesitation and inability to say a complete sentence made Zhao Youting think that he was trying to figure out how to drive him out of the house.
Zhao Youting's mood became even gloomier.
As he walked further in, he found that he was completely unfamiliar with the decoration of this house. All the things in the house were newly added after they moved.
He even noticed that Lin Wenyi was wearing a pair of slippers that fit his size. It seemed that Lin Wenyi often came to Qin Qiao'er's house and even prepared a pair of slippers for himself, while he was still wearing his leather shoes.
Zhao Youting looked at all these little details in the house that had nothing to do with him. Some of them were even brought by Qin Chenchen. He felt his heart was on the verge of collapse.
He couldn't accept that the woman he loved didn't live with him. And not only that, she was even entangled with another man.
Zhao Youting immediately wanted to turn around and leave. But he knew that if he left now, he would look like a loser, running away with his tail between his legs in front of Lin Wenyi.
So although he was extremely sad inside, he still endured it and pretended to be calm as he sat down in the living room.
Lin Wenyi could tell that Zhao Youting was barely holding back his temper and was at the end of his rope. So he also naturally sat opposite Zhao Youting.
He said to Qin Qiao'er and the two kids, "Come and sit down."
