Xu Tingyu woke up with a start when he came in. Before she could say a word, her mouth was covered.
She smelled the familiar scent and didn't dare to struggle, for fear of waking up Qi Ruixi. She could only obediently nestle into the other person's arms.
After they got out of the guest room and the other person released his hand covering her mouth, she took a deep breath.
"What are you doing?"
Who on earth sneaks into a room in the middle of the night and carries someone out?
What on earth is going on?
Qi Shifeng didn't say a word and didn't even look at her. He just carried her back to their room and stuffed her under the quilt.
Then he got in himself, wrapped his arms around her waist, and pulled her into his embrace.
His movements were smooth all the way through, leaving her no chance to escape.
Xu Tingyu had no idea what this man was up to.
But she was extremely sleepy. After waiting for a while and seeing that the man didn't do anything else, she simply assumed that he didn't want her to get too close to Qi Ruixi.
She didn't think much more and slowly fell asleep.
Qi Shifeng stayed awake for a while longer.
Actually, he didn't quite understand his own actions either.
He had warned Xu Tingyu in the evening not to get too close to the Qi family.
Then, because there was still a trans - national meeting, he went into the study.
He didn't even get to say a few words to Qi Ruixi.
When the meeting was over and he returned to the master bedroom, he found that Xu Tingyu wasn't there.
He thought she had gone to talk to Qi Ruixi.
After all, his younger sister was pampered and quite demanding.
So he took a shower and kept waiting for her to come back.
But as it got past midnight, there was no sign of Xu Tingyu coming back.
Only then did he know that she had actually fallen asleep with Qi Ruixi in the guest room.
His first reaction was, was she crazy?
Qi Ruixi was old enough. Just because she threw a tantrum, Xu Tingyu gave in?
Then, he thought she must be deliberately going against him.
Whatever he didn't let her do, she would do.
He got annoyed and simply turned off the lights to go to sleep.
But he tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.
The quilt and the pillow were filled with her unique fragrance, which kept drilling into his nose.
But his arms were empty, making it impossible for him to feel sleepy.
He endured it in the darkness for a long time and finally got up impatiently - Xu Tingyu was his wife. What was she doing sleeping with Qi Ruixi?
So he immediately got up and carried her back.
Now that his arms were no longer empty, he closed his eyes contentedly.
The next day when Xu Tingyu came downstairs for breakfast, Qi Shifeng had already gone to work.
Qi Ruixi was doing yoga in the living room. When she saw Xu Tingyu come down, she immediately gave her a teasing smile.
"Good morning, sister - in - law. I didn't even know when you left."
Xu Tingyu didn't think there was anything wrong at first, but now, with Qi Ruixi's smile, she felt a bit embarrassed.
"You were asleep, so I didn't wake you up."
Qi Ruixi still teased, "So you went back to catch a few more hours of sleep with my brother? Sister - in - law, it seems that your relationship with my brother is quite good now."
She had only heard from Liu Ning that something had happened to the Xu family and that Qi Shifeng would soon divorce Xu Tingyu.
At that time, she really disliked Liu Ning's statement and retorted dissatisfiedly,
"Divorce just because something happened to the Xu family. No wonder people say that the Qi family is ruthless."
Then, as expected, she was scolded by Liu Ning.
After that, Liu Ning no longer talked to her about their affairs, and she was too lazy to listen.
Now it seemed that the two of them clearly had a good relationship. There was no sign of divorce at all.
Xu Tingyu didn't know how Qi Ruixi could tell that their relationship was good.
But regarding her and Qi Shifeng's affairs, she didn't know what to say to Qi Ruixi, so she changed the subject.
"Aren't you going to report to the company? I'm going to the film set later. I can give you a ride on the way."
Qi Ruixi couldn't escape Qi Shifeng's "clutches". She only dared to mention it a little last night and almost got scolded.
So her dream of getting paid without working was shattered, and she had to obediently go to work.
When they were sleeping together last night, Qi Ruixi had complained that both her brother and mother were too ruthless.
She had just returned to the country. One made her go to work, and the other made her engage in a political marriage.
The pressure was really huge.
"Which film set are you going to? Sister - in - law, are you acting? Are you going to be an actress? Can I go with you?"
"When you become a big star, I'll work for you. Wherever I go, I'll say this is my sister - in - law. Make way for my sister - in - law!"
Qi Ruixi was still at a playful age, so she immediately became interested.
Xu Tingyu told her about her job and incidentally mentioned Qi Ye.
"It's a friend of big brother's. I'm not in the entertainment circle. I'm just a stand - in. I don't know anything. How could I be an actress?"
She only knew how to dance. She couldn't be an actress. She didn't want to make a fool of herself.
Who would have thought that Qi Ruixi snorted and said, "That Xie Yu became an actress, and her ugly younger sister was also arranged to get in. I'm really speechless."
Although she only came back one or two times a year during her overseas studies, she was not unfamiliar with Xie Yu.
After all, the powerful circle in the capital was so small. She had her own circle of friends, and naturally someone would pass the news to her.
She really disliked Xie Yu and her younger sister, Xie Shu.
"Sister - in - law, you don't know. Xie Yu can at least put on an act, but that Xie Shu is really annoying."
"A friend of mine went into the entertainment circle to be an actress for fun. She was in a drama with this Xie Shu once."
"Xie Shu didn't know my friend's family background. She just thought she was a newbie and bullied her in all kinds of ways. She even united with other actors to ostracize her."
"Come on, not everyone is as stupid as she is. Relying on her sister Xie Yu, she put on airs and acted like a big shot, offending a lot of people."
"So no one bothered to remind her that my friend was just acting for fun. In fact, her family even opened an entertainment company just to please her."
"Later, my friend got really annoyed and directly cut all of Xie Shu's scenes. Only then did Xie Shu realize that she had offended someone she shouldn't have. She even brought Xie Yu to apologize."
"It's really laughable. My friend didn't even show up. She said she really couldn't stand seeing Xie Shu with that face, looking all pitiful. It was an eyesore."
Sometimes Qi Ruixi really wanted to ask her second brother if there was something wrong with his eyes. How could he love a fish eye instead of a pearl?
Moreover, it was fine to support Xie Yu, but why did he even give resources to Xie Shu?
He was so nice to other people's younger sisters but so cold to his own. It was simply inhumane.
Xu Tingyu also thought of Xie Shu and frowned slightly.
Except for the audition, Xie Shu wasn't there during the subsequent shooting, so there was no conflict.
But this time, she didn't know if they would run into each other.
"Good sister - in - law, drop me off at the company to report, and then I'll sneak out right away. Please take me to the film set to have some fun."
"I've never seen you act before. I really want to see it with my own eyes. Please take me with you."
She started using her coquettish tactics, leaving Xu Tingyu defenseless. She could only agree to wait for her.
