Chapter 609: Chapter 609: Evil Acts Once Again_1

"It’s okay, Weiwei," Qi Jialiang said, "If you’re feeling anxious, I won’t go. I’ll go when you feel ready. But, could you free up so ti for

tonight?"

His tone was light and gentle, there was no trace of anger or displeasure.

"Well..." Xiao Wei hesitated, she was sowhat afraid of being alone with "Qi Jiaming" now, feeling his emotions were quite unstable.

Qi Jialiang continued in a gentle manner: "Weiwei, don’t be so cruel. It’s a holiday, give

a bit of your ti! Just a bit."

Qi Jialiang’s voice carried a tinge of childish appeal.

Eventually, Xiao Wei couldn’t utter another refusal. She agreed to a date with Qi Jialiang that evening.

At night, when Qin Sisi and Qi Jiaming rushed to Qi Jialiang’s house again, they happened to catch Qi Jialiang leaving with a bag of zongzi he bought at the supermarket.

They followed Qi Jialiang to Xiao Wei’s temporary dwelling place. Xiao Wei, dressed in a casual white t-shirt and slightly loose linen pants, opened the door for Qi Jialiang.

Qi Jialiang handed the zongzi to Xiao Wei, said, "Happy holiday." then leaned in to kiss her cheek.

Xiao Wei’s expression was sowhat unnatural, and she forced a smile, inviting Qi Jialiang to sit on the sofa. She took the zongzi to the kitchen and started boiling a few.

Soon, the whole room was filled with the aroma of the zongzi.

Hiding in Ye You’s invisibility bubble, Qin Sisi watched the ill-matched couple and felt awkward for Xiao Wei.

She turned to Qi Jiaming and said, "Since the dream approach isn’t working, we need to figure out another way quickly. I’m sorry, but my ti is limited. I can’t wait for you too long."

Qi Jiaming nodded with disappointnt, replying, "I know, let

think about it again."

Looking at his expression, Qin Sisi knew he was still reluctant to hurt his own brother. She could only let out a sigh.

Xiao Wei placed the boiled zongzi on the dining table, sat opposite Qi Jialiang, then peeled the zongzi and placed one in each of their bowls.

Qi Jialiang lavishly praised Xiao Wei as he ate, calling her a good wife and mother.

Xiao Wei just vaguely replied, her face carrying an insincere smile.

In the middle of the al, Qi Jialiang suddenly said, "Weiwei, I have a gift for you."

"What?" Xiao Wei instinctively asked, her face showing no anticipation or surprise.

Qi Jialiang didn’t mind and pulled out a small velvet box from his pocket.

Qin Sisi felt a tightening in her heart. Wouldn’t there be a ring in this box? Was Qi Jialiang about to propose?

More nervous than Qin Sisi were Xiao Wei and Qi Jiaming.

Qi Jialiang slowly placed the box in front of Xiao Wei, opened it from the back, and sure enough, there was a diamond ring inside.

The diamond shimred under the light, looking exceptionally beautiful and striking.

However, Xiao Wei’s face didn’t show a hint of joy. She took a mont, then turned to Qi Jialiang and said, "Jiaming, what do you an by this?"

Qi Jialiang gently smiled and said in a soft voice, "Weiwei, over these two years, I’ve realized that my love for you has been growing. I think it’s ti to end our courtship. I want to marry you."

Xiao Wei was silent for a while, then spoke in a heavy voice, "I’m sorry Jiaming, I don’t have any plans to get married for the ti being. I want to focus on work and save so money first."

Excuses! All excuses!

Qi Jialiang cursed inwardly, but his face still maintained a pleasant expression. He replied without irritation, "That’s alright, you know no matter what decision you make, I will support you."

Then, Qi Jialiang picked up the ring, looked at Xiao Wei with tenderness, and said, "Weiwei, I just want you to know that I truly love you very much."

Even though Xiao Wei felt a tad awkward, faced with Qi Jialiang’s straightforward confession, she felt flustered, her cheeks reddening. She nervously took a bite of her zongzi, accidentally choked and started coughing violently.

Qi Jialiang’s eyes flashed, he imdiately stood up and walked over to Xiao Wei, patting her back with care. Once Xiao Wei’s coughing subsided a little, he anxiously said, "I’ll pour you a glass of water."

"Hmm," Xiao Wei labored, her face flushed, and nodded hastily.

Qi Jialiang walked to the kitchen, took out a glass, and looked warily outside instead of imdiately pouring water.

Seeing Xiao Wei coughing painfully and not paying him any attention, he relaxed.

However, Qi Jialiang’s obvious cover-up was vividly captured by Qin Sisi, Ye You, and Qi Jiaming.

Qi Jiaming reacted first, imdiately drifting over.

Qin Sisi also went to the entrance of the kitchen, holding Ye You.

Qi Jialiang pulled out a small packet from his pocket, poured the white powder into the glass, then crumpled the packet and placed it back in his pocket. He then picked up the kettle and poured the water.

"What are you doing?" Qi Jiaming stared in surprise at Qi Jialiang’s every move, a bad premonition welling up in his heart.

Qin Sisi watched coolly as Qi Jialiang stirred the glass, completely dissolving the white powder. It looked indistinguishable from plain water. A smug, sinister smile played on the corner of Qi Jialiang’s mouth.

This strategy, he had once used on his own older brother, and now, he was going to use it on the woman who was almost his sister-in-law.

The two of them were so destined to be!

By the ti Qi Jialiang erged from the kitchen with the glass of water, his face was again a picture of warmth and concern.

Xiao Wei didn’t suspect anything and drank the water handed to her by Qi Jialiang.

Qi Jiaming’s expression changed and he was about to step forward to prevent her, but Qin Sisi pulled him into the invisibility bubble and whispered, "Let’s see what he’s up to first."

Qi Jiaming felt anxious, but after hearing Qin Sisi’s advice, he forced himself to wait.

But this patience had reached his limit. He had thought his brother genuinely loved Xiao Wei, so he chose to forgive and be lenient.

Later, he realized his brother’s love was too selfish and Xiao Wei was not happy, so he thought of using Qin Sisi’s power to prevent them from being together.

But he never thought that his brother would directly harm Xiao Wei.

Half an hour later, Xiao Wei’s eyelids beca heavier, as if they were being weighed down by a massive stone.

"Jiaming..." She muttered his na, then her head drooped, and she fell asleep on the table.

A strange smile spread across Qi Jialiang’s face. He slowly moved closer, with eyes full of anticipation. Seeing Xiao Wei fast asleep, her hair falling beside her ears, and breathing evenly, he could tell she was deep in sleep.

Qi Jialiang began to breathe heavily. He bent over, lifting Xiao Wei in his arms and walking into the bedroom. He then placed the sleeping Xiao Wei onto the bed, and started to rip her clothes off.
