Zu Qi didn’t expect that things would develop to this point. Although he just bit Xue Jue’s lips just to vent his anger, looking back at it now, he always felt a little embarrassed.
Although he looked calm on the surface, in fact his heart was beating so fast that it almost jumped out of his throat.
It seemed that even his lips were glowing with a burning temperature, and the feeling when Xue Jue crushed him down was still fresh in his memory…
Zu Qi subconsciously raised his hand to touch his mouth and his cheeks were hot, but he turned around and found that Xue Jue the man beside him was already breathing evenly, and suddenly he was out of breath, and kicked Xue Jue in the leg.
“Why are you sleeping? Go and blow dry your hair!” Zu Qi said as he tore off the pillow under Xue Jue’s head and touched it with his hand. Sure enough, the large area in the middle was soaked.
Xue Jue, who was about to fall asleep, was kicked by Zu Qi. He sat up instantly and almost fell off the bed. Fortunately, he grabbed the edge of the bed in time to stabilize his body.
For a moment, silence spread in the air.
The two of them stared at each other in the darkness, neither of them making a sound first.
He didn’t know how long it took, but Xue Jue suddenly reached out and turned on the small table lamp beside the bed. The warm yellow light instantly filled the entire bedroom.
Under the illumination of the light, Zu Qi could clearly see Xue Jue’s expression at this moment. That face was so gloomy that it seemed as if a terrible storm was brewing, and the low pressure radiating around him could even condense into substance.
Perhaps because he had been in a high position all year round, Xue Jue had an aggressive and powerful aura.
Even if he was just staring at Zu Qi expressionlessly, those dark eyes were like black holes, so deep that you couldn’t see to the bottom, making people unconsciously feel scared.
“…” Zu Qi, who originally wanted to make a few quibbles, gave up and shrank his neck and said nothing.
Just when Zu Qi was hesitating whether to lie down and pretend to sleep, he suddenly heard Xue Jue sigh slightly, then get up and get out of bed, take out a nightgown from the closet and put it on, and then leave the bedroom.
Zu Qi blinked blankly and continued to lean on the bed without moving. Soon he heard Xue Jue’s footsteps coming back.
Xue Jue seemed to be holding something in his hand. It wasn’t until he got closer that Zu Qi saw clearly that he was holding two pillows.
“The aunties have all gone to rest. You can just use these for the night.” Xue Jue said as he spoke, while replacing the two mostly wet pillows on the bed.
“Okay.” After the scare just now, Zu Qi was as obedient as a quail. He sat up cooperatively to facilitate Xue Jue’s change of pillow.
A man’s ability to bend and stretch was the key to saving his life.
He was not cowardly, he was smart!
After hypnotizing himself, Zu Qi finally felt a little better and suddenly became more confident. He didn’t even dare to look at Xue Jue.
Xue Jue threw the two pillows he had replaced into the dirty clothes basket in the bathroom. When he came out, he saw Zu Qi still sitting motionless on the bed, so he asked, “Do I need to change the sheets too?”
Only Xue Jue’s side of the sheets was wet. Most of the small area left where Zu Qi lay down was enough for him to sleep for one night. The main reason was that Zu Qi didn’t have the guts to bother Xue Jue much anymore, so he shook his head like a rattle.
“No, no, no, no,” Zu Qi said politely, “Just let Auntie come and change it tomorrow. You don’t need to bother so much at night.”
Hearing this, Xue Jue’s eyes suddenly became strange, as if he was looking at someone he had never met before.
Zu Qi touched his face in confusion: “What’s wrong? Why are you looking at me like this?”
Xue Jue said in a deep voice: “You are not Zu Qi, are you?”
“…”
Zu Qi froze. At this moment it felt like all the blood in his body had frozen, and he had even forgotten to breathe, staring blankly at Xue Jue with a cold expression.
When was he exposed?
How did Xue Jue know this?
Could it be that when he was selling wild chrysanthemum, Xue Jue accidentally discovered the existence of the space?
The more Zu Qi thought about it, the more frightened he became. In just a few seconds, he was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat.
He didn’t dare to make any sound, for fear that Xue Jue would send him to a laboratory on impulse where they would conduct inhumane scientific research on him.
After a long time, Zu Qi pleaded guilty: “I don’t understand what you are talking about. If I am not Zu Qi, who would I be?”
Xue Jue replied: “Zu Qi has never been so polite to me. Just now were you possessed by a human soul?”
“…” The next second, Zu Qi suddenly understood the meaning of Xue Jue’s words, “!!!”
Damn!
I bet Xue Jue is mocking me!
And these days, even paper characters knew the meaning of the word “soul possession”?!
Zu Qi suddenly let out a sigh of relief, and the nerves that had been tense for a full minute relaxed. He slumped on the bed like an eggplant beaten by frost, as if most of his soul had been frightened out of his body.
Just after sitting like this for a few seconds, Zu Qi silently lay back on the bed, wrapped himself in the quilt, and soon fell asleep exhausted.
Xue Jue, who was watching from the side: “…”
Unfortunately, Zu Qi didn’t sleep well that night. Maybe because he was thinking about it day and night. He dreamed that he accidentally exposed his identity in front of Xue Jue. And he instantly transformed into a devil and locked him in the basement to torture him.
The whole dream process was intermittent, but it was so real that Zu Qi was suddenly woken up from his sleep.
Zu Qi sat up in panic and took several deep breaths before he gradually recovered. His face was covered with cold sweat, and the pajamas on his back were soaked with sweat.
Xue Jue was no longer in the bedroom. Xue Jue did not seem to have slept on the bed last night, but there was an extra pillow and a quilt on the small sofa, which were stacked neatly beside the sofa.
It seemed that Xue Jue slept on the sofa all night.
Zu Qi stared at the sofa with wide eyes for a long time. After his brain cleared up, he slowly lifted the quilt and got out of bed.
When going downstairs for breakfast, Zu Qi asked Weng Yuxiang about Xue Jue, and was told that Xue Jue had left for the company early in the morning.
Speaking of this, Weng Yuxiang covered her mouth and smiled brightly. She seemed to be in a very good mood: “I don’t know what the troubles between you two are. You finally moved back, but Xiao Jue this child has been away from home for three days. I called him yesterday afternoon to talk to him, I guess he thought about it.”
Zu Qi: “…” No wonder Xue Jue ran here after drinking and socializing at night.
After thinking about it, Zu Qi smiled awkwardly and said, “He is so busy at work, so forget it if he doesn’t want to come back. Don’t embarrass him.”
“You kid are too easy to talk to.” Weng Yuxiang patted Zu Qi’s hand gently, pretending to be angry. Then she said, “You are all married, how can he not come home?”
Zu Qi said weakly: “We are not married yet…”
Although this novel was set in the Great Celestial Dynasty, there were still some places that were similar to the real world, but some places were different as well. For example, in the novel world, the age of marriage was over 18 years old, there was no distinction between men and women, same-sex couples could get married, and some men could even get pregnant…
It was half an imaginary world.
Despite this, the original owner and Xue Jue still did not receive a marriage certificate.
The original owner’s pregnancy was so sudden that Xue Jue was not mentally prepared at all. He had never even thought about holding a serious wedding with him before.
It wasn’t until Zu Qi came to this world that Xue Jue thought of organizing a replacement wedding and getting a marriage certificate, but he had to wait until Zu Qi gave birth.
Of course, whether Zu Qi wanted to get a marriage certificate with Xue Jue was another matter. He was not the original host, and he did not have the original host’s determination to settle down in the Xue family.
Zu Qi thought about a bunch of messy things, but Weng Yuxiang, who was sitting next to him, seemed to have realized something, so she held her chin and nodded thoughtfully.
“I understand.”
“…” Zu Qi looked horrified, “What do you understand?”
Weng Yuxiang said: “I, your mother, understand what you want to say, so don’t worry.”
Zu Qi: ” …What do you understand?”
Weng Yuxiang patted her chest and looked confident: “You two have a child, how can you do it without receiving the marriage certificate? Just be at ease, if you have any ideas, don’t hint to me, just say it directly, I will definitely be on your side.”
Zu Qi: “…”
“I will call Xiao Jue later and ask him to find time to pick you up, go to the Civil Affairs Bureau and get the marriage certificate.”
Zu Qi: “…I’m not, I don’t have it, don’t talk nonsense…”
However, Weng Yuxiang, who was in high spirits, couldn’t listen to Zu Qi’s explanation. She did as she said and immediately put down her hand. Then she picked up her cell phone and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window to dial Xue Jue’s number.
Zu Qi was not far from Weng Yuxiang, so he heard some of what she said in bits and pieces.
“Then you can’t leave him here. Look how lonely Xiao Qi is when he is alone all day. He needs someone to accompany him the most at this time…”
“Hey, how am I meddling in the middle? What I said is all Xiao Qi’s intention. He is embarrassed to say it, so I, as his mother, I will say it for him…”
“Of course he wants to get the marriage certificate, otherwise who would be willing to work hard to carry a child for you when he has no name or status…?”
….
Weng Yuxiang became more and more exaggerated as she spoke, vividly describing Zu Qi as a pretentious wealthy lady who could not lift her hands or shoulders. She seemed like she wished she could immediately get to the other side of the phone and grab Xue Jue.
The embarrassment that filled Zu Qi’s face almost overflowed.
In the end, he couldn’t stand listening anymore and had no choice but to escape. When Weng Yuxiang wasn’t paying attention, he said hello to Xiaoya and quickly returned to the bedroom.
Fortunately, Weng Yuxiang didn’t come to see him again, and the topic came to an end before Xue Jue went home.
Zu Qi lay bored on the sofa and browsed Weibo for a while. In the comment area of his latest Weibo, there was still a group of people crying about the removal of wild chrysanthemum. Some people also asked Zu Qi to increase sales next year. It was too difficult with their hand speed and internet speed to buy it regularly.
There was also a group of winning netizens who received the trial packs of wild chrysanthemum powder and went crazy on Weibo, praising the wild chrysanthemum powder as the only fairy powder that existed between heaven and earth.
Among them, there was also a beauty blogger with millions of followers. She recorded her hair volume after using wild chrysanthemum in a combination of pictures and text. In just half a month, the signs of her hair growth had improved by a lot.
People in the comments and repost sections were stunned.
