Xu Tingyu mused, "Who knows? Maybe it'll turn out to be a good thing."
She'd said the same thing to Yan Zhou.
Life can never be all smooth sailing. When bad things happen, it's only natural for people to feel self - pity.
Only by staying sober and having the courage to start over can what's lost now return in another way.
Qi Ruixi seemed to be lost in thought for a moment and then nodded, "Yeah, who knows if it's a blessing or a curse."
Moving on from the topic of Yan Zhou, Qi Ruixi suddenly remembered Xu Tingyu's performance and burst into laughter.
"Hey, sis, I noticed there are quite a few good - looking guys in your company."
"And there's even a mixed - race one. That figure, that face! Sis, you're in a great position to get the first pick."
Xu Tingyu could tell that Qi Ruixi was doing it on purpose.
On purpose to make Qi Shifeng uncomfortable.
But since she was glad to see him uncomfortable, she cooperated and nodded, "There really are quite a few. When they come over, I'll introduce you to them."
"Sure! I'll bring a couple of my sisters with me then. Hehe, I've never dated a dancer before."
Qi Ruixi's face was full of yearning.
Qi Shifeng finally couldn't stand it anymore. He glanced at his sister nonchalantly, his eyes filled with deep displeasure. "How many have you dated?"
Although he was the current person in power in the Qi Corporation, he didn't have the controlling nature of the old man.
At least, he'd never thought of using his sister's marriage for personal gain.
Accordingly, he didn't really care much about Qi Ruixi's dating history.
After all, they were all adults and needed their own private space.
Qi Ruixi let out a couple of giggles and raised her hand. "Actually, it's not that many, just five or six."
She was a typical rich and beautiful girl, so there was no shortage of suitors around her.
But she had high standards and only followed her feelings. If the other person had more than three things that dissatisfied her, she would break up immediately.
Xu Tingyu was quite interested in her love life. She asked a few follow - up questions and smiled. "What about recently? Are you dating anyone?"
"Not at all. I've been working overtime so much recently that I'm a mess. My last boyfriend said he didn't know if he was dating me or my phone."
"Then he went to find another girl to have a relationship where they could see each other every day. It was the first time I've been dumped."
Speaking of this, Qi Ruixi couldn't help but glare at her brother.
It was all his fault in the end.
If he hadn't assigned her to work under that demon boss, would she be this busy?
Qi Shifeng caught her eye - roll and snorted. "A guy who cheats because you're busy at work is a scumbag."
In the adult world, everyone has their own hardships. Who can spend all day around another person?
Unless their job is to be around that person.
Thinking of this, he slightly raised his eyebrows and glanced at Xu Tingyu.
The latter didn't notice his gaze at all. Instead, she looked at Qi Ruixi seriously and nodded. "I totally agree with this."
If someone wants to cheat, they just want to cheat. What does it have to do with the other person being busy at work?
If they really think the other person is too busy to meet, they can just come and find her themselves.
They could send her to work in the morning, have lunch with her at noon, and pick her up after work in the evening. What's stopping them?
In the end, it just means they don't like the other person that much.
Qi Ruixi laughed. "Forget it. I'm not really sad. I only dated him because he was good - looking and a college student."
"I've experienced the youthful energy from him. It's worth it. I didn't lose out."
When she said this, the other two were a bit speechless.
But Xu Tingyu reacted quickly. She gave Qi Ruixi a thumbs - up. "Nice, it was a college guy."
The two women looked at each other and smiled, as if they shared a secret.
Qi Shifeng was a bit annoyed. "What's so special about a college guy?"
Seeing her brother grit his teeth, Qi Ruixi wasn't going to miss this chance to "insult" him.
"College guys are great. They're young, energetic, sweet - talking, and clingy. They can provide full emotional value."
"Brother, have you ever heard someone call you 'sister' in a deep and husky voice? It's the same as someone calling you 'brother' in a cutesy voice."
It seemed that Qi Ruixi was really satisfied with her college - age boyfriend. She didn't expect that even after breaking up for so long, she could still use this to annoy her brother.
It was really satisfying. He'd been bossing her around all the time and even threatened her just now!
Qi Shifeng licked his back teeth and suddenly turned to look at Xu Tingyu. "You've dated a college guy too?"
Xu Tingyu was just enjoying the gossip, but unexpectedly, the topic turned to her.
She hadn't.
Not only had she never dated a college guy, but she'd never had a proper relationship at all.
But she wasn't going to admit it. She couldn't lose face.
"This is none of your business, ex - husband. Watch your boundaries!"
Just then, the waiter came to serve the food, which successfully covered up her slightly nervous expression.
Qi Shifeng was very unhappy about the term "ex - husband".
He was so angry that he didn't know how to retort for a moment, so he just started eating.
As soon as he took a bite, he got a mouthful of chili.
The spiciness immediately changed his expression.
When he looked up, he saw the two women looking at him. Especially Qi Ruixi, who seemed to be waiting for him to make a fool of himself.
He remembered that Xu Tingyu could eat spicy food.
There were hardly any proper photos of them as a couple, and there were very few things that connected them. He couldn't even have the same eating habits as her, could he?
So he forced himself to swallow the mouthful of food.
"It's not bad. Stop talking about those boys. Let's eat first."
He said it as if nothing had happened, completely unaware that this mouthful had actually made his face flush.
But he was handsome, and his blushing face actually looked even better.
The two women knew his cold and aloof personality. Who would have thought that one day he would condescend to force himself to eat something he didn't like?
"Brother, I heard that people's taste buds change as they get older. You've always had a light diet. Suddenly liking spicy food. Is it because your taste buds are degenerating?"
Qi Ruixi knew exactly how to hurt her brother.
First, she talked about college guys, and now she was implying that he was old.
Wasn't she just looking for trouble?
On other occasions, Qi Ruixi would have been sent back to the company to work overtime by now.
But now, in front of Xu Tingyu, he had to maintain his dignity as an older brother.
Otherwise, this little brat Qi Ruixi might say bad things about him behind his back. When would he ever be able to win his wife back?
So Qi Shifeng suppressed the urge to strangle her and said sinisterly, "Ruixi, you're in your twenties. Saying such things isn't cute."
Qi Ruixi immediately cowered and said, "I'm sorry, brother. Eat more."
Although she apologized with her mouth, her actions didn't seem like she was really sorry.
In front of Xu Tingyu, Qi Shifeng ate quite a bit more. In the end, his lips were red from the spiciness.
