Luo Fei came out obviously to shake off those people who were trying to make phone calls to spread the news, but seeing that the two had already arrived, he could only awkwardly give a greeting first.
"You're here."
Qin Xian nodded.
Ji Fei, however, smiled warmly and said, "Hello."
She then began to look Luo Fei up and down.
[Oh ho, he brought his girlfriend who's pregnant before marriage, what? The pregnancy news hasn't been announced yet? Well, it makes sense, after all, it was an unexpected pregnancy, and Luo Fei only found out after returning from his business trip. They'll probably announce it soon and then prepare for the wedding.]
Qin Xian's gaze at Luo Fei changed uncontrollably.
He only knew that Luo Fei had always wanted to marry his girlfriend of many years, but she kept saying to wait a little longer. He didn't expect them to have... double happiness so suddenly.
Luo Fei didn't pay attention to their gazes, but said uncomfortably, "Um... Qin Xian, come with me for a moment. Ji Fei, would you mind waiting here for us?"
Qin Xian looked at him strangely.
Ji Fei raised an eyebrow: [What does he mean? He can't possibly be afraid to go to the bathroom alone and need Qin Xian to accompany him, right?]
Qin Xian was immediately speechless - what nonsense.
Ji Fei: [Oh, I get it, maybe the people inside don't like me and don't want me to participate, so Luo Fei is coming to warn Qin Xian?]
Qin Xian's expression changed slightly, thinking this might be possible. After all, that incident did end very unpleasantly.
"If you have something to say, just say it," Qin Xian said coldly.
Although he didn't know what the matter was, there was nothing to hide from Ji Fei if it concerned him.
But after hearing this, Luo Fei's face almost turned purple.
How the hell was he supposed to bring this up? The last person who tried got wine thrown at them by Ji Fei.
Luo Fei could only force a smile and hint at Qin Xian, "No... I don't have anything to say... would you just accompany me to the bathroom?"
Qin Xian: ...
Ji Fei: [Pffft hahaha, I was just joking, how come he's stealing my idea? Though his expression is really weird.]
Ji Fei's eyes sparkled as she pushed Qin Xian, saying, "Go ahead then, I'll wait here."
Luo Fei immediately breathed a sigh of relief, thinking Ji Fei had really changed to become so agreeable.
Qin Xian could only silently turn and follow Luo Fei toward the bathroom.
He really hoped it wasn't actually about accompanying him to the bathroom...
But just after walking a short distance, Luo Fei nervously leaned in close and whispered, "I need to tell you..."
[Holy crap!]
An exclamation of shock came through in her thoughts.
Two voices spoke simultaneously.
"Your ex-girlfriend Yu Zhi is coming tonight."
[The first love is back in the country! And she's coming here right away!!!]
Qin Xian froze, looking at Luo Fei in surprise, his eyes darting to Ji Fei in the distance.
Ji Fei was standing there with wide eyes, her pupils trembling, seemingly processing this news.
"I'm not worried about you, I'm worried about her. It wouldn't be good for them to meet, right?" Luo Fei said worriedly. "While she still doesn't know, what do you think we should do?"
Qin Xian gave him a helpless look - she already knows, and knows more clearly than any of you.
[How could I have forgotten? That email mentioned when she'd be back. I was too busy gossiping...]
Ji Fei's inner thoughts seemed frustrated, while Qin Xian's lips curved slightly upward - finally feeling anxious?
[I almost missed something big! The contract I signed today really was a great deal. When we divorce, I'll have two hundred million, plus the investments Qin Xian helped me with, and a studio. Calculating carefully, I'm about to achieve complete financial freedom!]
Qin Xian's face suddenly darkened.
[God, when such good fortune falls from the sky, at least give some warning! I haven't even had time to freshen up to welcome this blessed moment!]
Qin Xian took a deep breath.
[No, I should appear haggard and anxious. That way, when Qin Xian divorces me for his first love, the whole family will sympathize with me. Besides, I've been behaving well lately, so Qin Xian shouldn't be too cruel. Maybe with a wave of his hand, I'll get even more. Hehe... I must put on an act when I see her.]
Qin Xian: ... Act? Let's see how you act later.
He had originally planned to see if Ji Fei wanted to attend, since the previous Ji Fei really was very wary of Yu Zhi.
But now they must attend.
He wanted Ji Fei to see with her own eyes whether he would divorce her for someone irrelevant.
Want a divorce? Not a chance!
Qin Xian didn't listen to Luo Fei's continued rambling, but strode directly toward Ji Fei.
Seeing Qin Xian's suddenly frozen expression, Luo Fei thought he probably also minded this situation and might be planning to leave with Ji Fei to avoid awkwardness.
But then he saw Qin Xian walk up to Ji Fei, who hadn't yet reacted, and put his arm around her before walking forward.
They were actually heading into the banquet hall.
Luo Fei was surprised - what was going on? Based on what he knew of his friend, there definitely weren't any lingering feelings. When they broke up back then, Qin Xian didn't even show any signs of heartbreak, making Luo Fei wonder if Qin Xian had ever really liked Yu Zhi at all.
But what was happening now?
Why did he feel like Qin Xian was angry?
Ji Fei had been quietly standing there, so it couldn't be anger at her. Was he angry at Yu Zhi? That didn't make sense.
Luo Fei was completely confused, unable to understand, and could only follow along in bewilderment.
Ji Fei was still fantasizing about her beautiful future life. Although... there was a moment when her breath caught, making her feel like she was drowning, she quickly got carried away by her pleasant fantasies again.
Unexpectedly, she was suddenly pulled into an embrace.
Actually, it wasn't really an embrace, just a formal support at the small of her back, like protecting someone while walking forward, but the force was a bit strong, almost making Ji Fei stumble.
"Let's go," Qin Xian said coldly, looking straight ahead.
Ji Fei felt like he seemed a bit unhappy.
[Sure enough! Here it comes, here comes, he's playing his cards!]
Qin Xian ignored Ji Fei's nonsense, knowing that whatever she said right now, he wouldn't want to hear it.
[Hearing that his first love is coming, his emotions are fluctuating! Now he can't wait to rush to see her, and he insists on bringing me along, even maintaining such an intimate posture - isn't it all just for show? Sigh, I've really become a tool.]
Qin Xian's forehead vein was throbbing.
[But, dear future ex-husband, your precious first love hasn't even arrived yet! You're acting too early!]
Qin Xian was so angry his chest hurt, but he could only grit his teeth and endure.
Aliali: 674876fac4f3f33ac4792c05[Breaking up and going abroad, not returning for many years, then coming back for a passionate love story, misunderstandings cleared up, broken mirror made whole again! Although I should technically play the role of the evil original wife as a catalyst, for the sake of the divorce settlement, your humble servant can't take that risk!]
Qin Xian felt like his soul was leaving his body, and his supporting arm unconsciously applied more force. From Luo Fei's perspective, he was completely embracing Ji Fei, looking extremely intimate.
Luo Fei couldn't help but widen his eyes.
Meanwhile, Ji Fei didn't know what was happening, her mind becoming increasingly active, racing at high speed for some reason, completely ignoring their gradually increasing intimacy.
[Wonder how stimulating it will be later, will future ex-husband lose his composure when he sees her... Ouch! Why are you pinching me!]
When the waiter saw them approaching, he immediately opened the doors.
In an instant, all eyes in the restaurant focused on them.
They saw Qin Xian standing at the entrance, one arm tightly holding Ji Fei, the other hand pinching her cheek, the two of them extremely close, looking as intimate as a young couple flirting.
Everyone was stunned, because they had never seen Qin Xian with such animated expressions or such playful behavior.
Never before...
