"But true love is ever - changing. Qi Ruixi, are you willing to take the risk?"
Qi Shifeng looked at Qi Ruixi, his eyes filled with sternness.
He had thought she would hesitate on this question.
But she just let out a hearty laugh. "Of course. True love may be ever - changing, but I'm not afraid. Even if he stops loving me one day, I'll still love myself well."
This was where her confidence lay.
She would always love herself, just like Xu Tingyu.
Even if Zou Yu didn't love her anymore, she would still love herself and never lose the courage to live.
After hearing her words, the expressions on Qi Shifeng's and Qi Ye's faces softened.
However, when addressing Zou Yu, their tones were still a bit serious.
"Zou Yu, go to the company and submit your resignation report tomorrow."
These words were from Qi Shifeng.
Before Qi Ruixi could say a word, he continued, "I'll recommend a tutor for you. You'll have six months to get back into the army."
As soon as he said this, the others were all surprised.
It turned out that Qi Shifeng had long planned how to help them. All his anger was just to see if these two truly wanted to be together.
After her initial shock, Qi Ruixi finally let out a sigh of relief and smiled. "Second brother, I knew you doted on me."
"You should thank Tingyu. If it weren't for her asking me to help you, I'd never have bothered."
Qi Shifeng gave her a disdainful look, his tone still rather haughty.
Qi Ruixi hugged Xu Tingyu's arm. "Of course. I've long known that clinging to sister's thigh is like holding second brother's lifeline."
Xu Tingyu blushed for no reason and patted the back of her hand. "Still being a smart aleck. Hurry up and get into bed. Don't end up feeling unwell again later."
"I'm not feeling unwell. Not at all. The doctor said it was just improper diet. I'll get better gradually."
Although she said so, she still obediently got back into the hospital bed.
Since they had given Qi Ruixi reassurance, they didn't stay any longer.
Zou Yu took Qi Ruixi back, Qi Ye returned to the hotel, and Qi Shifeng and Xu Tingyu went home to take care of Youyou.
On the way, Xu Tingyu suddenly asked Qi Shifeng, "You've actually laid the groundwork for them long ago, haven't you?"
Getting Zou Yu back into the army was definitely not as simple as just saying a few words.
"What else could I do? Everyone in our generation of the Qi family is a romantic. She's my sister. I can't just watch her suffer."
Qi Shifeng played with her fingers, his eyes gentle.
Just as people said, he was cold - faced but warm - hearted.
After noticing the unusual relationship between Qi Ruixi and Zou Yu, Qi Shifeng had hinted to Zou Yu that young people should improve their education if they had the time.
In recent years, the army had been actively recruiting high - educated talents. If one had a good education, the enlistment age limit would be relaxed.
He could tell that Zou Yu was very suitable to return to the army.
He also knew that only such a place could protect him well.
And Zou Yu respected him very much and accepted his career guidance.
Later, Zou Yu did get admitted to a relevant graduate program. The company even opened a green channel for him to pursue a full - time graduate degree.
As long as he accompanied Qi Shifeng to attend some important occasions when needed and it didn't affect his studies, it was okay.
It was as if the company had tacitly allowed him to take the job as a part - time one.
At that time, Qi Ruixi had complained, saying that with Zou Yu's ability, there was no need to pursue a degree anymore. Qi Shifeng, that devil, was forcing people to study.
Zou Yu even spoke up for Qi Shifeng, saying it was his own choice.
Because he thought what General Manager Qi said made sense, so he did it, and he also liked it.
No one at that time could have imagined that Qi Shifeng had asked Zou Yu to pursue a graduate degree so that he could use it as a stepping - stone to re - enter the army.
Zou Yu had rich experiences. He had graduated from a military academy, had an individual first - class merit, and had served as a special forces soldier and a bodyguard...
With such a background and education, it wasn't difficult for him to return to the army.
"Qi Shifeng, why don't you tell others when you do something nice for them?"
Xu Tingyu's hand was getting hot from his grip, and even her eye sockets were warm.
This man was always so silent.
If Zou Yu and Qi Ruixi hadn't gotten together, they would never have known that Qi Shifeng had planned all this for them.
Qi Shifeng turned to look at her and smiled. His eyes and eyebrows had a different kind of charm.
"Because if I still need to tell others, it means I haven't done well enough for them to directly feel it."
He buried his face in her neck and took a deep breath of her fragrance.
Compared with others' gratitude, the faint concern in her tone made him even happier.
Xu Tingyu didn't say a word and didn't stop him from getting closer.
When they got home, Ruixi was already asleep.
They washed up and then lay in bed.
"Do you think big brother will side with Ruixi?"
Xu Tingyu thought of Qi Ye again and was still a bit worried.
If Qi Ye didn't agree, it would be difficult for this matter to go smoothly.
Qi Shifeng was not happy that she was lying in his bed but thinking about another man.
"He has no grudge against Ruixi. Why wouldn't he?"
He clasped her waist and pulled her into his arms. His lips brushed against the top of her hair.
Although they used the same shampoo and shower gel, he just thought she smelled so good.
A faint smile flashed in Xu Tingyu's eyes. "You're right. But you should say that he also dotes on Ruixi, so he'll side with her."
It was the same meaning, but different expressions sounded completely different.
Qi Shifeng didn't want to entangle with her on the issue of Qi Ye. He directly pressed her under him.
"If you have time to think about others, you might as well think more about me."
His kiss fell, and Xu Tingyu couldn't help but laugh. But before the sound could come out, it was blocked.
She didn't ask him what she should think about him when he was right in front of her.
Because she knew what he meant.
Love was probably like this. Even when that person was in front of you, you still missed him so much.
On the other side, Chen Chunyao's agent, Sister Chen, was frowning at the hot search.
"Yaoyao, I feel like the effect of the direct official announcement is just so - so. If we hadn't bought so many trolls, it might have backfired."
Originally, they thought that when two实力派 (powerful actors) directly announced their relationship, they would definitely receive the blessings of most people.
But unexpectedly, many people thought they were not a good match.
To be more accurate, they thought there was no chemistry between them.
Two people who had never had any interaction before suddenly announced their love. It felt very absurd.
Chen Chunyao was sitting lazily on the sofa, looking at the tablet in front of her, but not at the comment section under her own news.
She just stared at the photo of herself and Xu Tingyu that had been taken and said softly, "Sister Chen, do you think Tingyu is really more beautiful than me?"
Sister Chen was stunned for a moment and said, "Miss Xu is beautiful, but you have different kinds of beauty. Each of you has your own style. It's hard to compare."
"Really? But why do people like her more?"
Chen Chunyao's gaze was still on Xu Tingyu's face, and her tone was a bit strange.
Sister Chen didn't notice anything abnormal and still smiled. "Don't sell yourself short. If no one liked you, could you have reached where you are today?"
