How long had it been since she last smiled at him like this?
Now, in this place of all places, she was being so happy, coaxed by these people.
He was furious. And she even asked him if he wanted to join them!
According to his usual temper, he should have immediately carried her away from this place and, by the way, caused some trouble for everyone present.
But seeing her so happy, he actually sat down and went along with it to keep her in a good mood.
Qi Ruixi, who was watching from the side, felt a chill down her back.
Although she had said that she wanted Xu Tingyu to teach her brother a lesson, she was still really scared when she saw Qi Shifeng coming.
But her brother actually sat down and was willing to participate?
Was this the calm before the end of the world?
She glanced at Xu Tingyu.
Xu Tingyu seemed completely oblivious to Qi Shifeng's low - key anger and even urged the host to deal the cards quickly.
Good for her. Her former sister - in - law had finally stood up.
Since her former sister - in - law had stood up, she should too.
She also wanted to show Zou Yu that she could do just fine without him.
So she immediately chimed in, "Right, keep playing. If you make us happy today, we'll come and support you again tomorrow."
She leaned back casually, her hand resting on the man beside her.
Zou Yu's eyes darkened as he watched her. Then he walked over quietly and used his gaze to drive one of the men away.
But after Zou Yu sat down, Qi Ruixi didn't even spare him a glance. She just chatted and laughed merrily with the man beside her.
Since the guests demanded that the game continue, the host naturally didn't care how strange these two men were.
He shuffled the cards again and dealt them to everyone.
After the cards were dealt to Qi Shifeng, Xu Tingyu finally asked him, "I almost forgot to ask. Does Mr. Qi know how to play?"
Before Qi Shifeng could answer, the host had already taken the initiative to explain the rules of the game again.
"Got it. Let's start."
Qi Shifeng was smart. After just one listen, he remembered the rules and urged the host to start.
Xu Tingyu drew the role of the werewolf again this time.
She scanned the people present and targeted Zou Yu first.
When dawn came, everyone opened their eyes at the same time. After the host announced that Zou Yu was out, Qi Ruixi snorted but didn't look at him.
After a round of speeches, everyone suspected that Xu Tingyu was the werewolf.
Naturally, she defended herself vigorously. In the final voting round, half of the people voted for her to be eliminated.
Finally, because another person got one more vote than her, she survived by a narrow margin.
That night, when it got dark, Xu Tingyu chose to self - harm.
When dawn came, she didn't die. It was the witch who had chosen to save her.
Later, this game ended with the werewolves' victory. Only then did Xu Tingyu know that Qi Shifeng was the witch.
He had actually chosen to use the antidote on her when so many people suspected that she was a werewolf.
After that, they played a few more rounds. Every time, Qi Shifeng blindly trusted Xu Tingyu, which led to the team she was on always winning.
Qi Ruixi couldn't stand it anymore. "Hey, bro, do you understand the rules of the game? You can't tell right from wrong! You should side with your teammates!"
She had lost several times in a row and had already drunk a few glasses of wine.
It was all because of her brother causing trouble.
No one was so blatantly partial when playing a game.
Facing the accusation, Qi Shifeng raised his eyebrows slightly and gave her a look. "What? Not okay? Or do you think she's not good?"
She didn't know how to respond to this.
Qi Ruixi was just angry for a moment.
One was her second brother, and the other was her former sister - in - law. What could she say?
She still needed her brother to overlook her skipping work today.
Thinking of this, she threw down the cards reluctantly and said, "Forget it. Let's take a break. I don't want to play anymore."
As she said this, she grabbed the wine glass beside her and pointed at the man next to her. "Go and sing a song for us."
As she spoke, she even gave the man's chest a little pat.
But the next second, she was lifted up by Zou Yu.
"Mr. Qi, Miss Xu, I need to talk to Miss Qi. Excuse me for a moment."
His face was ugly, but before taking Qi Ruixi out, he even greeted Qi Shifeng and the others.
Just this point made Xu Tingyu sure that Zou Yu really liked Qi Ruixi.
Otherwise, given his way of doing things, he wouldn't have been so reckless.
At first, Qi Ruixi tried to struggle, but her hand was grabbed by Zou Yu. Before she could say no, she was taken out.
After Qi Ruixi and the others left, Qi Shifeng also said to the remaining people in the private room, "Get out."
The male models could tell that he was not to be trifled with, so they didn't dare to say anything and left one after another.
After the private room was empty, Xu Tingyu took the initiative. "We invited these people. What do you mean by making them leave?"
She could clearly sense this man's anger.
She had noticed it since he entered the room.
But she deliberately ignored him and pretended not to notice.
She thought the man would get angry with her and say something unpleasant. Instead, she saw his eyes suddenly soften. He leaned over and whispered.
"I made them leave. I'll accompany you."
"I know you better than they do, and I know how to please you better. Don't look at others. Just look at me."
As he spoke, he had already put his arm around her waist.
His refreshing scent surrounded Xu Tingyu. The alcohol she had drunk was fermenting, and she didn't struggle immediately.
"Mr. Qi, there's no need for you to degrade yourself by comparing yourself with these people."
A man as noble and proud as him was actually comparing himself with these people.
And saying that he knew how to please her better.
"If you like it, I'm willing to fall into the dust."
His expression was full of earnestness and a hint of jealousy.
"Don't smile at others. I really can't stand it, Xu Tingyu. What should I do to make you look at me more?"
"If you like this kind of thing, I can learn. Maybe I'm not sweet - talking enough and not good at coaxing people, but I'll really change."
"Please look at me more. Don't abandon me, okay?"
He pleaded again and again, as if he was really afraid of being discarded.
The noble and proud man bowed his head, giving an indescribable sense of brokenness.
Looking at his earnest expression, Xu Tingyu had the illusion that she had pulled the ice - cold flower off the altar.
She couldn't help but reach out and touch his face. "You're really good - looking, and you're exactly to my taste. But what can I do? I don't like to go back on my decisions."
People had said before that she was stubborn. She seemed gentle, but in fact, she was very head - strong.
It was the same with her relationship with Qi Shifeng.
Over the years, she had let go of many things. If it weren't for Youyou, she would never have had any contact with him when she came back this time.
She also admitted that she still had feelings for him.
But going back to the past was absolutely out of the question.
