Qiao Yuxian arranged to go shopping with her roommates, and the four of them gathered together in the country, shopping crazily.
They started at 6:30 in the afternoon and shopped until after 9.
Only then did the four hand their things to the driver and went to find a place to eat.
While eating, they happened to et Ji Xiaoxiao.
Ji Xiaoxiao ca out of the private room after finishing her al, with soone beside her.
The four of them were about to enter the private room next to hers.
After running into each other, Ji Xiaoxiao only glanced at Qiao Yuxian without greeting her and left.
But once Qiao Yuxian and her friends entered the private room, settled down, and ordered food, Ji Xiaoxiao returned.
She rudely squeezed by Qiao Yuxian’s side, pushing her to slide further inside.
The four of them looked at her.
Ji Xiaoxiao glanced at Qiao Yuxian’s cup and said, "Did you drink this?"
Qiao Yuxian shook her head.
Ji Xiaoxiao picked it up and drank it all in one go.
"Didn’t you just co from next door? That thirsty?" Qiao Yuxian asked.
"Don’t even ntion it, I’ve been talking nonstop, my throat’s really dry," Ji Xiaoxiao replied, then looked at them, "Is this a dormitory dinner?"
"Yeah." Qiao Yuxian nodded.
"Mind if I join you?" Ji Xiaoxiao said, "I’ll chip in for the food."
Qiao Yuxian looked at her friends.
Zhao ng and the other two nodded.
"You’re too kind," Ji Xiaoxiao said, pouring herself another glass of water, then looked at Qiao Yuxian, "Do you have room to put up for tonight?"
Qiao Yuxian looked at Ji Xiaoxiao, didn’t ask much.
If she wasn’t really in trouble, she probably wouldn’t have asked.
Qiao Yuxian nodded, "Sure."
Ji Xiaoxiao drank her water in relief.
The other three watched them.
Zhou Yunbing curiously asked, "When did you two get so close?"
"Who’s close with her," Ji Xiaoxiao said disdainfully, "I’m just worried she’ll be too lonely going back, so I’m doing a good deed by keeping her company."
Qiao Yuxian rolled her eyes at her wordlessly.
Zhao ng chuckled.
"You two really have a connection," Han Yangliu said, "You were both Jing University’s beauties, and now you’re both Mrs. Gu."
"Is that fate?" Ji Xiaoxiao asked.
"More like a cursed fate," Qiao Yuxian said.
Ji Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes again arrogantly, "And also, there have never been two beauties at Jing University, I’ve always been the campus queen. She..."
She glanced at Qiao Yuxian, "She’s just an outdated beauty."
Zhou Yunbing chuckled.
Qiao Yuxian looked at Ji Xiaoxiao and said, "Don’t make beat you up during such a happy al."
Ji Xiaoxiao raised her chin.
Qiao Yuxian couldn’t be bothered with her.
But Ji Xiaoxiao looked at her and said, "What happened to your mouth? Was it Mr. Gu who kissed it?"
Qiao Yuxian paused and looked at Ji Xiaoxiao, "I have a heat rash."
"Don’t believe it," Ji Xiaoxiao said, "In my years of experience, that’s definitely from kissing."
"No, no, no," Zhou Yunbing waved a finger, "That’s an allergy."
The last two words, Zhao ng and the other two said together, laughing.
Ji Xiaoxiao laughed along with them, "Mr. Gu’s a bit aggressive, huh?"
Zhou Yunbing and the others laughed even louder.
Qiao Yuxian’s ears felt a bit warm, though they hadn’t turned red. She said softly, "If you know too much, the four of you won’t get out of this door."
Then the four of them boldly sneaked laughs.
Qiao Yuxian: "......"
After eating, the five of them left.
As soon as they stepped out of the restaurant, they saw Gu Yicheng waiting outside.
As Qiao Yuxian suspected, Ji Xiaoxiao was avoiding Gu Yicheng.
When Gu Yicheng saw Ji Xiaoxiao co out, he imdiately approached, "Xiaoxiao."
Ji Xiaoxiao, wearing a mask and hat, instinctively stepped back behind Qiao Yuxian when she saw him approaching.
Zhao ng and her friends watched without saying a word.
Gu Yicheng looked at Qiao Yuxian, paused, and said, "Sister-in-law, I’m here to take Xiaoxiao ho."
"You go back, I’m going to Qiao Yuxian’s house tonight," Ji Xiaoxiao said.
Gu Yicheng frowned, stepped forward again, and said, "Xiaoxiao, my brother and sister-in-law are very busy, we shouldn’t bother them."
"I’ve already spoken with Qiao Yuxian," Ji Xiaoxiao said, "You go back."
"Xiaoxiao..." Gu Yicheng still wanted to step forward, but Qiao Yuxian blocked him.
Qiao Yuxian said, "What’s the big deal about visiting your sister-in-law’s place? If you don’t let her, it makes people think I’m treating you poorly as a sister-in-law."
Zhao ng and her two friends exchanged glances. They felt Qiao Yuxian just transford from a little girl into the matriarch of a large family.
"If Gu Yanjing found out, he’d probably bla for not managing the family well," Qiao Yuxian said with a warm smile.
ntioning Gu Yanjing, Gu Yicheng’s expression changed slightly, his stubborn look softened a bit, "Sister-in-law, I..."
"Why don’t you co with us? It’s been a while since your brother last saw you," Qiao Yuxian suggested.
Gu Yicheng’s face stiffened, looking at Ji Xiaoxiao behind her, finally saying, "No, I have other things to do. I’ll visit my brother another day."
"Alright, then we’ll be off," said Qiao Yuxian, pulling Ji Xiaoxiao with her.
Zhao ng drove them back.
Ji Xiaoxiao looked out of the window in silence for half the ride, neither Qiao Yuxian nor Zhao ng spoke.
The car was quiet for a long ti, until Ji Xiaoxiao suddenly said, "He can’t break it off with won outside. I thought of getting a divorce to make it easy for them, but then he turns and acts all sentintal with . I really don’t know what’s going on in his head."
Zhao ng glanced back in the rear-view mirror.
Qiao Yuxian in the passenger seat stared at the night view outside, "Maybe he really likes you, but can’t bear to give up the world outside."
Ji Xiaoxiao was silent for a mont, then sighed, "When I married him, I had that thought. Before we got married, I thought, as long as I hold the title of Mrs. Gu, I don’t care what he does outside as long as he doesn’t affect my position."
"But after being together, I really feel disgusted," Ji Xiaoxiao said with dissatisfaction, "Many things, you’ll never know how you truly feel until you experience them firsthand."
Qiao Yuxian said nothing.
Ji Xiaoxiao added, "But even so, I’ve never thought about getting a divorce."
"Then why..." Qiao Yuxian asked.
"He won’t let work," Ji Xiaoxiao said, "I might not have love in this life, but whatever, I don’t need it. With the Mrs. Gu status, it’s easier to start a career. But if he keeps from working, what’s the use of him, just to be an eyesore and annoyance?"
"He acts like he’s crazy, insisting on keeping at ho to have his children," Ji Xiaoxiao got more agitated, "Don’t you think he’s sick? What’s up? Whoever has a child first gets the Gu Family, is that it? He’s in such a hurry and even forces . I almost ended up in the hospital."
"Cough," Qiao Yuxian coughed, "Actually, you don’t have to go into so much detail."
"I was just about to say, aren’t you afraid I’ll go out and blab about it?" Zhao ng said.
"I debuted as a married woman, eventually, the divorce will co out," Ji Xiaoxiao said, "By then, there’ll be even harsher, more explosive rumors out there. Don’t say you won’t go blabbing, even if you do, who’ll believe it? People will believe the more explosive ones."
Zhao ng nodded.
Ji Xiaoxiao sighed again, "It’s truly annoying."
