MTL - His Marriage Partner is Scheming-Chapter 9

After a while, the two sat in a private room for two, each with a cup of freshly made signature milk tea.

At this moment, Chi Xueyan looked at the white shirts of the people around him, and suddenly felt much more pleasing to the eye.

A business elite who looks gentle and handsome should sit in an internet cafe and drink milk tea.

He likes the strange contrast of this rambling.

Chi Xueyan pressed the power button and was in a good mood, as if the things he was going to talk to He Qiao tonight didn't exist.

The noise of playing games outside kept coming and going, and he casually chatted with He Qiao: "Do you like playing games?"

He Qiao also turned on the computer: "I don't like to play."

Chi Xueyan was about to continue talking when someone knocked on the private room door.

He looked up and saw a young man he didn't know rushing in rashly, wearing a pair of round black-rimmed glasses on his face.

The other party looked very excited, and as soon as he opened the door, he rushed to He Qiao who was sitting on the outside, "I thought I was wrong. Brother He, why are you coming out to play alone today, and you didn't call us? Are you coming in the dark?"

Before he finished speaking, he belatedly saw Chi Xueyan inside, was taken aback, pushed up his round glasses that were about to slide off, and said repeatedly: "Brother He, you have company, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, you guys play first, and then make an appointment later!"

He waved to He Qiao, closed the door with a slam, and hurried back to his seat.

He Qiao: ...

After he left, Chi Xueyan turned her head, and subtly repeated his last sentence: "I don't like to play."

He Qiao met his teasing gaze, and after a while, explained helplessly, "That's not me."

"Then what do you like?" Chi Xueyan asked casually, "If there is a computer in front of you that you can use."

Without hesitation, He Qiao asked, "Watching the news?"

Chi Xueyan was silent for a few seconds: "Is there a more sincere answer?"

"I didn't lie to you." He Qiao said, "Sometimes the news is good."

"...Then watch the news for a while." Chi Xueyan resolutely gave up asking, took a sip of milk tea, and turned to look at his screen, "I need to prepare mentally before listening to the story."

He opened the browser, searched for a program name, and clicked to play it.

Before putting on the earphones, Chi Xueyan specially reminded the people around him: "When you watch the news, remember not to peek at my screen, my program is also very good."

He Qiao laughed dumbfoundedly.

Then, he actually watched the news in the Internet cafe.

Ten minutes later, he did not hold back, and glanced at Chi Xueyan's computer screen calmly.

Because Chi Xueyan's expression was so focused, it was impossible not to imagine how exciting the scenes on his screen were.

However, to He Qiao's surprise, there is a stage in the center of the screen, a man and a woman are talking excitedly, and there are hosts and guests sitting in a row beside them.

Seems like an emotional show.

But he couldn't hear the sound, so he didn't know what the person in the painting was talking about.

He Qiao only peeked at him for a few seconds, and Chi Xueyan looked back at him vigilantly, with a somewhat regretful tone: "It seems that your news is a little less good."

He Qiao was calm and composed, without any embarrassment of being caught: "You are fascinated by watching."

Chi Xueyan smiled when he heard this, and stopped arguing with him, but took off the earphones, put them on the desktop between the two, and turned the computer volume to the maximum.

A fairly clear program sound sounded in the small private room.

The men and women in the picture are indeed arguing over trivial matters in love.

"My friend said this show is very good for dinner." Chi Xueyan said in a relaxed tone, "One time the takeaway delivered to the clinic was terrible, so I remembered it, and after watching the first episode, I finished my meal unconsciously. "

"The content is nothing special, just all kinds of love, miserable, ridiculous, hateful... Anyway, it is not considered happiness."

"Every time I watch it, I think, where do we find so many strange couples on the show? How could someone be willing to make themselves hideous for the sake of so-called love?"

"I always felt that these were scripts written in advance by the TV station." His voice gradually became calm, "but now, I am also in the script."

Having said that, Chi Xueyan paused, showing a self-deprecating smile: "I'm ready to listen to the story."

"Putting this story together with these couples who are arguing in public will make me feel better." Chi Xueyan finally said, "It's like it's just a script hired to perform, not the real me."

The air conditioner above the head sends out a gentle breeze, and the bottom of the iced milk tea in hand has a puddle of wet water.

He Qiao stared at him for a moment, then said calmly: "I don't know the details of the first meeting between you and Lu Siyi, but the second meeting was when you knew his friend had lost something and told him it was in a bar. , In order to express my gratitude, I invite you to dinner."

Also related to lost and found, is a plausible possibility.

If Chi Xueyan successfully got Lu Siyi's contact information that day, things might really develop like this later.

There was no emotion in Chi Xueyan's eyes: "And then?"

"Then you found out that he was a graduate student, met his friends, and started to go to their school often. Although he spent most of his time in the laboratory, you and his friends gradually became very familiar. At this time You have a good relationship."

Speaking of this, He Qiao paused: "But after he knew that your family was in a good position and that your parents ran a business, he started to have a prejudice against you."

"bias?"

He Qiao answered frankly: "Because of the external conditions, you may give people the impression that you are playing in the world. Moreover, Lu Siyi's father became a vegetative state due to a car accident when he was young, and the perpetrator who escaped was a rich second generation. He ran a technology company and provided security systems to certain local institutions. After he escaped, he went directly out of the country, and in the end he just lost money."

The company run by Chi Xueyan's parents belongs to the same field.

A strange coincidence.

Chi Xueyan was surprised, but vaguely guessed the follow-up.

"At that time, you didn't know the reason behind it, and you were still pursuing Lu Siyi. I don't know the details. Until his mother had an accident, the treatment and recovery period was very long, and it required high surgery and nursing costs, and she could no longer take care of him lying on the hospital bed. Her husband became a patient himself."

He Qiao's voice began to become hesitant.

Chi Xueyan finished speaking for him: "I wanted to help him, but he misunderstood me, right?"

"Because I seem to be a frivolous rich second generation who wants to play in the world, and I will be supported by my parents anyway." He chuckled softly, "Maybe I really am, but I will not use threats just because I like someone .”

He Qiao also lowered his tone: "It's a pity that Lu Siyi happens to be prejudiced against such a person."

Chi Xueyan asked: "How did I answer his question?"

"You didn't answer directly." He Qiao stared at him fixedly, "Ask him if he really wants to save mom."

This is the beginning of "Chi Xueyan" becoming a vicious villain.

Chi Xueyan thought, if that day really happened, he would probably ask with a smile.

He never cared about how outsiders who are quick to forget look at him, but it is difficult to accept the cold misunderstanding in exchange for sincere kindness.

"It's not unscrupulous love." He was silent for a long time, then said sadly, "It's an impulsive anger."

The fate of going astray because of a mistake in one thought can no longer be speculated with Chi Xueyan's current thinking.

Maybe in the future, he will really become a complete bad guy step by step.

The only thing to be thankful for is probably that he wasn't crazy about love at first.

Chi Xueyan thought bitterly.

"I guess the next episode will be even more exciting." He calmed down and looked at He Qiao who was quietly waiting beside him, "But let's stop here for today, and we'll continue to listen next time."

He Qiao nodded lightly, as if joking: "One Thousand and One Nights?"

Thinking of that ancient folk tale, Chi Xueyan couldn't help raising the corners of his mouth, imitating the tone of the brutal king: "I won't kill you until you finish telling the story."

More and more water accumulated at the bottom of the milk tea cup, dripping to the edge of the table, getting closer and closer to Chi Xueyan.

He Qiao carefully handed him the tissue, and said in a gentle voice, "Okay."

For him, this Thousand and One Nights, which is unknown to outsiders, will last at least until the night when the wedding is over and he moves into the wedding room.

At that time, he and Chi Xueyan will both be able to gain the freedom that seems inseparable.

Chi Xueyan reached out to take it, and continued the joke: "Are you thinking about how to escape?"

"No." He Qiao watched him wipe the water stains, "I was wondering which friend it was."

"What friend?"

"Tell your friend that the show is very good."

The white paper towel gradually became wet, and was crumpled into a translucent soft ball by the people around me.

Until they are free, their lives are destined to become more closely intertwined.

Family, friends...everything network, and all leisure life.

The earphones placed in the center of the table were still buzzing, and the sounds of couples arguing wafted out.

Chi Xueyan picked it up again, turned down the volume, and replied solemnly: "It's Lawyer Su, you've seen it before."

As he spoke, he leaned over and helped He Qiao put on the earphones, his smile returned to normal: "This is the most classic episode, it would be a pity to miss it."

The sound of the show flooded into his ears all of a sudden, blocking out the rest of the noise. He Qiao subconsciously reached out to touch it, and his warm fingertips touched the silvery coldness.

Chi Xueyan's wedding ring.

He quickly remembered the roles each other was playing.

So He Qiao stretched out his palm, covered the back of Chi Xueyan's hand, and held the earphone indirectly.

Two identical rings meet on the ring finger.

He also leaned forward slightly, and politely replied to his lover's proposal: "I will listen carefully."

The distance between the two became very close in an instant, causing the people outside the door who wanted to come in to stop their movements in astonishment.

Clean white shirts blocked the people sitting inside.

Only two figures can be vaguely seen, overlapping each other in the small private room, with fingertips intertwined in the entangled hair ends.

Like a kiss hidden in the dark.
