When Zu Qi had time to escape, he jumped out of bed and rushed into the bathroom at lightning speed. After he came out after taking more than half an hour to wash up, Xue Jue and Xue Wanwan were gone from the bedroom.
Zu Qi breathed a sigh of relief.
Xue Jue handed Xue Wanwan to Xiaoya to feed and change his diaper. He returned to the bedroom to wash and dress, and then prepared to go to the company.
During the whole process, Zu Qi sat on the sofa with an embarrassed face, reading a script and pretending to be his grandson. On the surface, he pretended not to see Xue Jue walking around in the bedroom, but in fact, he had been paying attention to the other person’s movements from his peripheral vision.
Even when Xue Jue was standing in front of the closet changing clothes, Zu Qi couldn’t help but glance over there a few more times, trying to appreciate those strong abdominal muscles again.
Unfortunately, Xue Jue noticed it at his second glance. He turned to look at Zu Qi and asked calmly: “Is there something dirty on my face?”
Zu Qi quickly raised the script to cover his red face and deliberately cleared his throat. Then he raised his voice and replied seriously: “No, your face is clean.”
“Then why are you looking at me?” At this point, Xue Jue’s voice was unconsciously filled with a smile, it was just a fleeting moment and was not captured by Zu Qi.
Zu Qi put down the script, smashed the jar, and said confidently: “If you didn’t look at me, how would you know that I was looking at you?”
Xue Jue flopped and raised an eyebrow, smiling but not smiling: “Then speaking like this, it makes sense for you to peek at people?”
“Who said I was peeking!” Zu Qi angrily threw the script, raised his chin and stared at Xue Jue’s beautiful face for a moment, and glanced at the looming figure in the collar of his shirt. “I’m looking at it openly, do you have any opinion?”
Xue Jue: “…”
Was it too late for him to take back his previous evaluation of Zu Qi?
This man was as shameless as ever.
“Of course I have an opinion.” Xue Jue looked at Zu Qi with a smile and took out a gray-black custom-made suit jacket from the closet and put it on, “I don’t want to be awakened by your thing again in the future.”
Zu Qi: “…”
A war without gunpowder ended quietly. Xue Jue won a complete victory, and Zu Qi was defeated step by step.
Zu Qi was so angry that he went downstairs and drank three large bowls of porridge before he recovered. Weng Yuxiang, who was holding his child next to him, was frightened by Zu Qi’s reaction and quickly asked him if he felt unwell.
Facing Weng Yuxiang’s worried face, no matter how strong the anger in Zu Qi’s stomach was, most of it disappeared in an instant.
Zu Qi sighed and turned his gaze to Xue Wanwan, who was sleeping soundly in Weng Yuxiang’s arms. He gently touched his small finger with his index finger and said with a wry smile: “Wan Wan is so noisy. Yesterday he cried a lot at night.”
“It was like this when he was still in the hospital. At that time, Xiaoya and I were still taking care of you. It was thus much easier for you and Xiao Jue. Now that your child is so clinging to you, you can only rely on yourself at night.” Weng Yuxiang said.
Zu Qi nodded, thinking that no matter where Xue Wanwan slept, as long as Xue Jue was there, it would not have much impact on him.
After breakfast, Zu Qi went back to his room to continue reading the script.
The audition time he and Heng Jingchen had agreed upon was at three o’clock in the afternoon the day after tomorrow. Although Bai Guangjian patted his chest and promised to give him the role of the second male lead, he himself was fully prepared, but studying the script more should always be right.
Before transmigrating, Zu Qi was a coder and worked with computers every day. However, he was still very interested in acting, otherwise he would not have accepted this audition.
When Zu Qi was still a freshman in high school, he discussed with his parents that he wanted to take the art exam in the future and prepare for the Beijing Film Academy. However, both of his parents fell ill and the family’s financial circumstances gradually became difficult. He also needed financial support to study at Nortel. So Zu Qi had to give up his dream of becoming an actor.
He joined the drama club in college and played many complex roles. He also represented his school and won the best protagonist award in competitions with other schools.
To put it this way, Zu Qi’s acting experience and private efforts were no less than those of some newly debuted actors, but it was a pity that he did not have a suitable way to enter the entertainment industry.
He originally thought that becoming an actor would be an unattainable dream in his life, but he didn’t expect that it would become a reality in this virtual world. Zu Qi found it really funny and sad.
After reading the script for a day, when Zu Qi came back to his senses, the sky outside the window had darkened at some point.
Today, Xue Wanwan was very well-behaved and obedient. He lay in Weng Yuxiang’s arms and ate and slept without making any noise or crying for Zu Qi or Xue Jue to hold him. Weng Yuxiang was so moved that she almost cried.
Even during dinner in the evening, Weng Yuxiang hugged Xue Wanwan and was reluctant to let go. She kept saying happily: “Hey, my good grandson finally recognized grandma. Grandma is really happy.”
Xue Jue also told Zu Qi that he was handling matters in the company and would not be coming back. Zu Qi sat alone opposite Weng Yuxiang with a helpless smile on his lips.
With Weng Yuxiang’s chattering voice and Xue Wanwan’s babbling childish voice, the dining table with only two people did not seem too deserted.
Halfway through Zu Qi’s meal, he felt like something was missing.
It wasn’t until he saw Xue Yanjing walking straight up holding the cowering Sun Fei, and finally standing in front of the dining table with a cold face, that he remembered that Xue Yanjing had made such a big fuss last night, but today there was no news about him all day.
Obviously, Xue Yanjing didn’t come to eat with them at the same table. After all, he had a cold expression on his face that said that he was looking for trouble.
Sun Fei seemed to be extremely afraid of Weng Yuxiang, and hurriedly hid behind Xue Yanjing as soon as she approached, only revealing a pair of timid eyes to look weakly at Weng Yuxiang, whose face gradually turned cold.
Xue Yanjing took in all of Sun Fei’s reaction, and immediately felt extremely distressed, and his resentment towards Weng Yuxiang and Xue Jue, mother and son, became even more intense.
“Didn’t you say you want a divorce? I promise you the divorce then.” Xue Yanjing said with a sneer.
