Xie Shu was stunned by the slap. Seeing her sister's expression, she immediately dared not say a word.
She just covered her face and got under the quilt. Soon, sobs came out.
Xie Yu didn't look at her. Instead, she looked apologetically at Qi Shifeng. "Actually, I've been persuading her to quit the entertainment industry for a long time. It's not easy to make a living in this industry, but she just wouldn't listen."
"This time, it's just a good lesson for her. Let her go to school and temper her character."
"Alas, in the end, it's all my fault that her character turned out like this. I didn't teach her well."
As she spoke, tears rolled down from her eyes, tracing a graceful arc in the air.
She quickly wiped them away, as if she was very afraid of being seen crying and being thought of as weak.
Qi Shifeng looked at her. For some reason, he suddenly thought of Xu Tingyu.
That delicate girl would cry when she was unhappy.
She would cry if someone spoke to her too harshly.
Even if someone touched her a bit roughly, she would cry.
Every time she cried, it just made people want to tease her more.
Looking at Xie Yu, he unconsciously softened his tone. "Forget it. In the future, stay away from Qi Ruixi when you see her. She has a bad temper."
Although he was clearly saying that Qi Ruixi had a bad temper, his tone was full of partiality.
Xie Yu of course could tell. The next tear that rolled down seemed much more real.
She nervously wiped away the tear and forced a smile. "I know. I'll tell A Shu. But your love for your younger sister really makes people envy."
There was a slight tremor in the end of her voice.
Qi Shifeng was stunned for a moment. His dark eyes stayed on Xie Yu's face for a few seconds and then moved away.
"It's getting late. I'll go back first."
Seeing that he was about to leave, Xie Yu quickly said, "Why don't you stay in a place nearby? I've had someone prepare a room. It'll take you more than an hour to get home from here."
This place was in the opposite direction of his villa.
But Qi Shifeng didn't accept the offer. He just walked out while saying, "I'm leaving."
Xie Yu took a couple of steps forward but then stopped abruptly. She was so angry that she could almost grind her teeth to pieces.
It was all that stupid Xie Shu's fault.
Qi Shifeng was such a smart man. How could he not see through Xie Shu's pretense of power and overbearingness?
The recent boycotts, contract terminations, and the blatant partiality towards Qi Ruixi were all just another way of warning them.
It seemed that she had to give Xu Tingyu some really juicy news.
By the time Qi Shifeng got home, even the lights in the entrance hall were turned off.
Normally, the lights here would only be turned off when it was certain that he wouldn't be coming home.
So, after she came back today, did she tell Aunt Zhang that he wasn't coming home?
Qi Shifeng turned on the lights. As he was changing his shoes, he didn't know what mood he was in for a moment.
When he got to the bedroom, without asking, he knew there was no light left on for him.
The room was completely quiet. There was an incense burner lit on the bedside table.
His wife, wearing an eye mask and pajamas, was sleeping soundly.
She really could sleep.
He didn't know why he was so angry. Without turning on the light, he strode over and pulled her out of the quilt.
Before she could wake up, he lowered his head and bit her lip hard.
Xu Tingyu was in the middle of a dream when suddenly she felt a chill on her body. Then a faint pain came from her lips.
Without even taking off her eye mask, she opened her mouth and shouted, "Help..."
The next second, the eye mask was snatched off. The light shone on her eyelids, completely waking her up from the dream.
When she opened her eyes, she saw Qi Shifeng's handsome face.
It took her a few seconds to react. Then she frowned and asked him, "Why are you back?"
Her second reaction was to push him away in disgust and then burrow back under the quilt.
Qi Shifeng never expected that after traveling across most of the capital to come back to her, this would be her reaction.
"If I don't come back, where do you think I should go?"
Sometimes he really wished he could strangle this woman in front of him.
She pretended to be innocent and stupid, was so temperamental and troublesome.
Now she had added another sin, which was hating him.
From not loving him to hating him, her attitude was so undisguised.
He didn't know when it started, but there was a grudge building up in his heart, getting bigger and bigger.
"How would I know? If you're back, then you're back. Why do you have to wake me up?"
She glared at him and snatched her eye mask back from his hand.
Really, she had spent the whole night convincing herself to choose the path the old man had laid out for her.
When she went to bed at night, she could smell this man everywhere. She was so annoyed that she couldn't fall asleep at all.
It was only after she lit a sweet-smelling incense that she finally managed to fall asleep.
Then she started having a nightmare. Just as she dreamed that she was being chased, this man pulled her out of the quilt and she was faced with his anger.
It was really ridiculous. She wasn't even angry yet, but he was.
She didn't want to talk to him. After glaring at him, she was about to go back to sleep.
If he wanted to scold her, he could do it tomorrow.
But Qi Shifeng snatched her eye mask again and threw it away.
This time, not only did he take the eye mask, but he also grabbed her hand and looked at it carefully.
What was he looking at her hand for?
Could it be that Xie Shu had told on her about slapping her, so now he was going to get even with her hand?
She yanked her hand back desperately and shouted as she did so, "What we did wasn't a beating. It was a group fight. You can't just pick on me."
At the same time, this man also shouted at her, "So all that crying and complaining about being tired during the day was a lie, right? You had the energy to dress like that and go out and have fun at night?"
When it came to him, she was always too tired, on the verge of death, and begged him to let her go.
But outside, she was wearing a JK uniform, with two braids, looking both innocent and sexy, like a seductive cat.
Thankfully, the red marks on her hand had already disappeared. Otherwise, he didn't know what he would have done.
Xu Tingyu was stunned by his shout. She instinctively retorted, "Doesn't it look good in this?"
Everyone else said it looked good. Only he had to criticize.
This damned man was so annoying.
As soon as her voice fell, Qi Shifeng suddenly let out a cold laugh and threw a paper bag he had brought back at her. "You like it, right? Then put it on."
The bag fell on the quilt and tipped over. The things inside fell out.
It was a JK uniform.
But it was much weirder than the one Chen Chunyao had given her.
The shirt was so short that it could barely cover her chest.
The skirt was even shorter. She couldn't even imagine how short it would be when she put it on.
She held the clothes and looked at them for a while, then looked up at Qi Shifeng.
The man was also looking at her. His face was still cold, but in the darkness where she couldn't see, the tips of his ears were an abnormal shade of red.
"I'm not going to wear it," Xu Tingyu threw the clothes back at him. "Qi Shifeng, I never thought you'd want to have your cake and eat it too."
He had just come back from Xie Yu's place and now he wanted to get into her bed?
He had some nerve.
"What do you mean by having my cake and eating it too?"
Qi Shifeng caught the clothes and frowned.
"Do I have to spell it out for you? Qi Shifeng, you smell like Xie Yu's perfume. I find it disgusting."
"If I went out and slept with someone else, I wouldn't come back and sleep with my spouse again."
