Zu Qi’s eyes widened unconsciously, his expression was both surprised and angry. He looked at Xue Jue’s cold face for a moment, and for a moment he didn’t know how to respond to these words.
Had Xue Jue and Yu Meitong known each other for a long time?!
Why didn’t Xue Jue react at all when he saw Yu Meitong just now then?
Zu Qi was in a state of confusion, as if something he thought he had grasped suddenly escaped his control. A second ago, he was glad that Xue Jue didn’t call Yu Meitong, but at this moment he knew that they had known each other for a long time.
So where did Xue Jue and Yu Meitong first meet? When was it again? How did Xue Jue feel about Yu Meitong…
A series of questions flashed through Zu Qi’s mind.
Somehow, the scene of Xue Jue rescuing him from the siege suddenly appeared in front of Zu Qi’s eyes, and a bold guess suddenly appeared in his mind uncontrollably.
Maybe Xue Jue didn’t really help him at that time but vented his anger for Yu Meitong in the name of helping him.
Thinking of this, Zu Qi felt a chill running down his spine, and his face became increasingly ugly.
“It turns out that you just came forward for Yu Meitong…” Zu Qi couldn’t help but say what he was thinking directly. He looked at Xue Jue with rather sad eyes.
Xue Jue laughed angrily when he heard this, thinking that Zu Qi was really good at beating others up. Before he could investigate Zu Qi’s coveting of Yu Meitong every day, Zu Qi actually put a big hat on his head.
“Yu Meitong has hands and feet and is an adult. Why does she need others to come forward? But you don’t look at your own situation. Can you hog all this limelight blindly? What if there are three advantages and two disadvantages?” Xue Jue’s expression was terrifyingly gloomy. Zu Qi was stunned for a moment by what he said.
Zu Qi opened his mouth slightly and looked at Xue Jue with incredible eyes for a long time. Then he suddenly said: “Are you jealous?”
Xue Jue was stunned when he heard this. After a while, his face became ruddy at a speed visible to the naked eye, which was especially obvious even under the slightly dim warm yellow light.
“Nonsense!” Xue Jue frowned and spoke sternly, but he could not hide the fact that the blush on his face had spread to his ears.
Zu Qi calmly noticed all the strange things in Xue Jue’s eyes, and already knew in his heart that he was probably right.
Even if there was no substantial progress in the relationship between Xue Jue and Yu Meitong, there was no guarantee that Xue Jue had not unilaterally become interested in Yu Meitong, otherwise Xue Jue would not have such a big reaction.
To put it bluntly, he was still jealous, just because he helped Yu Meitong…
Zu Qi was silent for a long time, raised his eyes and glanced at Xue Jue, who looked uncomfortable. In an instant, he lost all desire to speak. He pursed his lips and then without saying a word, he turned around and walked to the box.
Seeing that Zu Qi was not too entangled in this matter, Xue Jue couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief and follow Zu Qi silently.
In fact, you could see from the back that Zu Qi was very thin. Even if he was wearing a loose cashmere coat, you could still see his tall and thin figure with straight legs. However, after all, he was eight months pregnant and had many inconveniences when walking, so he always walked slowly.
Xue Jue’s eyes flashed, and he wanted to step forward and help Zu Qi, but then he thought about how Zu Qi had just asked him if he was jealous, and he put an end to the thought.
How could he be jealous for Zu Qi?!
They were just forced to get married due to circumstances, and they had no basis for any relationship at all. Even if Zu Qi loved Yu Meitong now, there was absolutely no way he would be jealous of Zu Qi!
Xue Jue increasingly felt that Zu Qi’s questions were too funny. After much deliberation, he decided to keep a distance from Zu Qi to avoid making the other person have such narcissistic thoughts again.
As for that Yu Meitong…
Xue Jue’s face darkened a bit, and he quickly had a plan in mind.
Unfortunately, the reversal came so quickly, like a tornado, catching people off guard. Only when Xue Jue made up his mind to stay away from Zu Qi, in the blink of an eye, he saw his mother standing in front of the box door, looking towards them.
When Weng Yuxiang saw Zu Qi, she immediately beamed and enthusiastically came over and took Zu Qi’s hand: “Why have you been gone for so long? Nothing happened?”
Zu Qi’s hands were cold, but Weng Yuxiang didn’t dislike it and kept urging Zu Qi to wear more clothes.
Now that the weather was getting cooler, how about just wearing a sweater?
Zu Qi stared blankly at Weng Yuxiang’s worried face, and suddenly remembered his parents who had died many years ago. When his parents were still alive, they often nagged him to wear more clothes when it was cold.
“I’m fine, thank you, Mom.” Zu Qi shook his head and lowered his eyes to clear away the moisture in his eyes.
“It’s okay.” Weng Yuxiang patted Zu Qi’s hand with a kind expression. When she turned to look at Xue Jue, who was standing at a certain distance behind Zu Qi, she suddenly lowered her face and said, “Are you hiding from the plague? Standing so far away like that, just stand downstairs and forget it.”
Xue Jue, who was also shot while lying down: “…”
Facing his mother’s merciless accusations, Xue Jue could not refute and had to throw away all the morale he had just built up. Behind his head, he stepped forward and forcibly took Zu Qi’s shoulders and walked into the box together.
