It's not that she wants to guard Gong Jue, it's just that it takes time to get to know someone again.
Giving love takes time.
It would be fine if they could stay together for a lifetime, but if they were separated halfway, she would have wasted her time and her feelings.
Anyway, now that she has a son, friends, and a career, she doesn't need to waste time choosing someone to take the rest of the journey.
When the company has something to do, he goes to the company to sit around.
When nothing happens, he asks Ye Shichun to go out for a walk, and then takes Xiaoqi out to play.
In short, life is very relaxed.
In Qi Xiaoyi's words, he is a bit heartless.
In fact, she had the intention and just sealed the place well.
The area was slowly healing, and she didn't want anything to tear it open again.
Qi Xiaoyi has been very busy recently and only sees him every once in a while.
"What are you busy with?
Are you going to do something big?"
The so-called big thing seems to be nothing but fighting and killing.
Qi Yue was very worried about him.
After all, he was not an ordinary person.
If he really wanted to kill him, he would die at any time.
Qi Xiaoyi put a piece of fried Yong Tau Fu into Xiao Qi's bowl.
"Yes.
It's a big deal."
He raised his head, looked at her and smiled.
"Is it dangerous?"
She nervously clenched her chopsticks.
"It's okay."
Qi Xiaoyi raised the corners of his lips at her, "Let's eat.
I'll leave after eating.
You guys should be good at home."
It was as if they were a family of three, and the man had to go out and leave it to the woman.
Qi Yue took another deep look at him and confirmed that he was really fine, so she continued to eat.
After eating, Qi Yue took Xiao Qi and sent him downstairs.
Asheng stood beside the car, waiting for them.
"When will you come back?"
She turned her back to the light, but you could still see the nostalgia and worry in her eyes.
Qi Xiaoyi reached out and tucked the hair on her forehead behind her ears.
There was endless tenderness in her brown eyes, "Soon."
Qiyue did not reject his actions.
The intimate actions between two people are always so natural.
There was no barrier between them because of some previous events, it was as if nothing had ever happened.
That's how true family members are.
No matter what they do that is too much, they will always forgive them.
Qi Yue pursed her lips, "Xiao Qi, say goodbye to your godfather."
She picked up Xiao Qi.
Xiaoqi stretched out her little hand, hooked it around Qi Xiaoyi's neck, and kissed him on the face, "Goodbye, godfather."
Qi Xiaoyi also kissed his little face, "Yeah.
Xiaoqi has to listen to mommy, you know?"

"Know" "I'm leaving."
He looked at Qiyue.
Qi Yue nodded.
Finally, he turned around and got into the car.
Pressing down the car window and smiling at them, Asheng drove away.
Watching the car go further and further away, Qi Yue put Xiao Qi down and said, "Let's go home and sleep."
Xiao Qi put his little hand into hers and held it tightly.
The figures, one large and one small, turned and walked into the apartment.
None of them saw that there was a car parked there under the light not far away.
The man inside held the steering wheel tightly with his slender fingers, and his dark blue eyes suppressed a fire.
But he had nowhere to vent this fire. .
"You still don't have any expression?"
Qiyue looked at Ye Shichun who was not very interested.
I don't know since when, she has grown her hair long, stopped wearing leather clothes and pants, and put on lady's clothes, and her gestures are no longer as careless as before.
She must have changed it because of Mu Meng.
Ye Shichun glanced at the clothes in the brand store, her hand stopped on a striped jacket, and she motioned to the shopping guide to take it off.
"I'm ready."
She walked into the fitting room with her clothes.
After changing her clothes, she came out.
She stood in front of the mirror and looked left and right.
The black and white vertical stripes made her look slimmer, but she had a good figure and was well-proportioned. , no matter what clothes she wears, they seem to be designed according to her figure.
Turning around, "Does it look good?"
she asked Qiyue.
Qiyue raised her eyebrows, "It looks good, so what are you going to do?"
Ye Shichun stood in front of the fitting mirror and looked at herself, "As a person, you must be able to pick up and put down."
After that, she entered the fitting room again, took off her clothes, and gave them back to the shopping guide.
"Do you want my help?"
She frowned slightly and looked at her friend.
Although her marriage is not smooth and unhappy, she hopes that her best friend can be happy.
Ye Shichun turned around, neither refusing nor agreeing. .
This was Qiyue's first date with Meng since she divorced Gong Jue.
Mu Meng was also curious, "Sister-in-law, did you ask me to ask about eldest brother?"
He never changed the way he addressed her.
Qiyue frowned and asked, "Is there something wrong with your memory?"
She was not polite to him at all.
Mu Meng pouted, "No problem."
"He and I have divorced.
He is your eldest brother, but I am not your sister-in-law."
"Sister-in-law" "" This man was always so playful and rude in front of her, but he was so incomprehensible to Shichun.
If he applied his current mentality to Shichun, Shichun would no longer be worried and insecure.
Not wanting to be acquainted with him, she stirred the coffee, "Do you know when Shichun's birthday is?"
Mu Meng nodded, "There are still nine days."
"Then do you know how old she is?"
Being able to remember Ye Shichun's birthday so accurately is considered thoughtful.
Mu Meng's eyes darkened instantly, "I'm thirty."

Very well, he knew everything.
"Have you ever thought about marrying her?"
She wasn't going to beat around the bush anymore.
Anyway, her final goal was to know the answer, so she asked straightforwardly.
Mu Meng raised his eyes and glanced at her, but did not answer immediately.
Still hesitating or thinking about how to give an answer?
Suddenly, he leaned back, his whole body filled with helplessness, "If I say I haven't thought about it, will you hit me?"
Qi Yue's heart trembled, and an inexplicable anger rushed to her forehead.
She resisted the urge to pour coffee on him and controlled her anger.
"I've never thought about it, why should I accept it?"
The cold voice made them all stunned.
Ye Shichun knew that Qiyue asked Mu Meng out today, and she was very curious about what Mu Meng would say to Qiyue.
So, after they sat down, she sat in the seat next to them and listened to their conversation back to back.
She thought he might say it was not the right time, or say something else, but she never expected that he would say he had never thought about marrying her.
Since I never thought about being with her for the rest of my life, why did I respond to her in the first place, and why did I have to stay with her for three years?
Qiyue obviously didn't expect that she would be there and heard their conversation.
Stand up and pull her, "Shichun" Ye Shichun stared at Mu Meng.
She didn't cry or make trouble, she was just waiting for his answer.
Mu Meng stood up, very serious, "I don't want you to work in vain."
"Ha" Ye Shichun smiled, so brightly.
Qi Yue frowned and scolded Mu Meng angrily, "You'd better think it through before speaking."
Mu Meng wiped away his playful smile and looked at Ye Shichun, "I thought very clearly.
In fact, I have wanted to end it with you for a long time, but I just can't bear to see you disappointed.
I know you will be thirty soon, and men are thirty Erli, a woman should marry at thirty, but I cannot marry you."
In their inner anger, they didn't notice that he said he couldn't marry, not that he wouldn't marry.
"Mu Meng, I really made a mistake."
Qiyue wanted to throw the coffee in front of him on him, but someone moved faster than her.
Ye Shichun picked up the coffee that she hadn't drank in Qi Yue and threw it on Mu Meng's face.
Without saying a word, she shook her head and walked away.
Qi Yue glared at Mu Meng fiercely and followed Ye Shichun.
The coffee flowed down his face and stained his white shirt.
He took out the paper on the table and wiped the liquid from his face.
His face was expressionless, but his heart was tightened.
Ignoring the strange looks from the customers in the cafe, he picked up his coat and walked out.
.
In the ktv, Ye Shichun sang the high-pitched "Love Even If You Die", and finally sang the entangled "Betrayal", and then sang the sad "Chess Piece".
She sang each difficult song, but she sang it with great care. , but it still sounds awful.
None of these songs were what she really wanted to sing.
But every song represents her mood.
Tired of singing, she lay down on the sofa, took a bottle of wine, and poured it into her mouth.
Qiyue didn't stop her, she also picked up the microphone and sang the lyrics at the bottom of the screen.
"I have never doubted your promise.
If it weren't for your tenderness at the beginning, after all, you are the one I love, how could I blame you?"
Everyone has to say goodbye at the end Forgive me forever for being taken away by you She had never sung out her inner thoughts, as this song seemed to touch her heart most easily.
Glancing at Ye Shichun, whose eyes were blurred, she didn't cry after coming out of the coffee shop.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
She just kept drinking and singing.
I don’t know if she is really strong or if she hasn’t exploded yet.
"Shichun, we won't go home until we get drunk tonight."
No matter what song was singing on the screen, she opened all the wine that was brought in.
He picked up a bottle and handed it to Ye Shichun.
Ye Shichun burped, took the drink and tried to open his eyes wide, "Don't you need to pick up Xiao Qi today?"
She was still conscious and remembered to remind Qiyue to pick up Xiaoqi.
It turned out that she was not drunk yet.
Qiyue sat next to her and lay down lazily, "I asked Xiaoxue to help pick her up.
We don't have to go home tonight.
Haha" she said, clinking glasses with her with a silly smile.
"You are really not a competent mother."
Ye Shichun glared at her.
"It's not just to accompany you."
As he spoke, he raised his head and drank most of the bottle in one go.
Seeing this, Ye Shichun patted her shoulder hard and said, "Good friends are here, let's drink again."
"Damn, he's just a man.
If you don't want to marry, I won't marry.
I'm not willing to marry yet.
Hiccup tomorrow, I'll find a man to marry tomorrow.
It's thirty years old, I want to get married, I want to be a mother, but , but that man, that man doesn’t want me, he actually doesn’t want me.”
Finally, the woman who had endured it all afternoon and night began to cry.
Qiyue hugged her, her eyes blurred with drunkenness, "You are blind, let's find a man to marry, let's get married."
Crazy women can always say crazy things and say them so firmly. .
The hand of the woman next to Mu Meng unconsciously climbed up his chest and got into his clothes.
"roll" Mu Meng pushed the woman away, and the woman looked at him aggrievedly, and finally left dejectedly under his cold eyes.
Seeing this, Han Zhihuan and eo didn't say anything.
Their eyes fell on the man sitting in the dark corner, who couldn't be seen if he wasn't paying attention.
They didn't know what happened today.
One seemed to have eaten explosives, and the other seemed to have eaten poison. , all looking desperate and ferocious.
He kicked all the women out of the room, and then looked seriously at the man in the dark corner.
"Gong Jue, what are you doing?
Your face is getting worse and worse.
Is there anything you can't tell us?
Why are you going to be with Qu Nianwei and why are you divorcing Miao Qiyue?"
Han Zhihuan didn't know why Gong Jue wanted to Call them together, but it's obvious that something is going on.
It happened that Mu Meng was so hot again.
In fact, he wanted to ask these questions after the last time.
But there has been no chance.
No one except Mu Meng can see Gong Jue.
He always felt that the two of them were doing something they didn't know about.
Speaking of this, Mu Meng also put away his impetuous heart.
"Eight days later, I need your help with something."
Gong Jue, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke coldly.
Han Zhihuan and eo exchanged a look.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
They are close brothers.
They never say anything about anything.
As long as he says a word, they will do it immediately.
But now, he actually uses such a polite tone.
No, the tone is not right anyway.
A little unfamiliar, but also a little reluctant.
In short, it's very strange.
"What's the matter?"
Of course, eo has no problem at all.
He and Gong Jue grew up together.
He would never refuse Gong Jue's orders.
Gong Jue walked out of the darkness, with a circle of shadows outside his deep-set eyes.
His whole look was not good, and he was a little decadent.
He glanced around them lightly, "Drug lord Lin Xiong will leave Beixin City in eight days.
Take him away before he gets on the plane."
Except for Mu Meng, the other two people were confused.
"You want to be involved in drugs?"
Han Zhihuan was confused.
But it's wrong to think about it.
If this was involved, he would have done it long ago.
Gong Jue lowered his eyes, "Your life will definitely be in danger then.
You should pay attention to your own safety.
I hope that when I stand here again, everyone will be here."
He didn't explain the reason, but glanced deeply at the two of them.
They all understood the profound meaning.
This time, it is more dangerous than any other action.
As soon as he finished speaking, he walked towards the door.
Suddenly, the phone vibrated.
Looking at the person whose name he didn't save, but who knew it by heart, his heart beat as it flashed.
He answered.
"If you think of me, you don't have to regret that the promise I made at that time was too heavy, and I blame who was wrong, Gong Jue.
The promise I made at that time, uh, was really too heavy."
The woman on the other end of the phone was singing and talking.
She couldn't speak clearly.
She was obviously drunk.
He frowned, "Where are you?"
"Well Shichun, am I drunk?
Why did I hear Gong Jue's voice?"
"Hehehe, I also saw Mu Meng, uh, hallucination, hallucination."
"oh" Then, there was no woman's voice, only the sound of music.
Gong Jue immediately asked Mu Meng to locate Qi Yue's location.
“In the charming limited edition ktv.”
"Ye Shichun is here too."
Gong Jue left these words and quickly walked out of the room.
Mu Meng frowned and finally followed out.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
The two grown men who were left behind looked at each other, as if they were the only ones who had the most time to do. .
"Shichun, I'm hallucinating too.
Gong Jue appears in front of me.
How could he come?
He should be with Qu Nianwei, Qu Zhazhaheng, his lover in his previous life."
Qi Yue tried her best to open her eyes, but her vision was blurry, but the shadow did not disappear, it was always there.
When Gong Jue rushed in, he smelled a strong smell of alcohol.
He frowned when he saw that the table on the floor was full of empty wine bottles.
He walked towards the woman lying on the sofa.
She raised her hand, touched it in front of her eyes, and finally smiled, "I'm hallucinating again."
She thought he was right in front of her, but she couldn't touch him.
Do you miss him too much, that's why you look like him?
But, why is he getting thinner and thinner?
Qu Nianwei is really not a good woman, she actually keeps a man so thin.
Gong Jue picked her up, glanced at the woman who was also leaning on the sofa and mumbling, and finally decided to take Miao Qiyue out first.
As soon as he turned around, Mu Meng came.
He didn't stop.
Now he was no longer worried about Ye Shichun, and walked out of the ktv with the woman who was as limp as mud.
In the car, Qiyue burped again.
She felt uncomfortable in her stomach.
Her stomach twitched.
She pushed the car door and vomited.
Gong Jue's brows did not relax.
He patted her back gently, unscrewed the water bottle and helped her drink it.
As soon as she put it into her mouth, she vomited again.
She didn't stop until the yellow bile water tasted out.
Her hands were cold, her face was pale and bloodless, and her hair was wet with cold sweat.
"Rinse your mouth."
Gong Jue put the water to her mouth again.
She reflexively took a sip, then spit it out with two gurgles.
After repeating it several times, the water bottle was empty and she finally became awake.
It's just that the body is very soft and weak.
She slowly opened her eyelids and finally saw the person holding her clearly, and her heart skipped a beat.
Is it him?
No, it must be an illusion.
She closed her eyes, and after a while, she opened them again.
But in front of him, there was still the same face.
Isn't it an illusion?
"You read that right, it's me."
The deep voice sounded as pleasant as ever.
My heart skipped a beat.
It's him, it's him.
She suppressed the tremor in her heart and smiled, "Why are you here?"
"You called me."
She frowned and looked at him suspiciously.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
She would call him even though she had deleted his number.
Gong Jue didn't care what her eyes looked like, "I'll take you back."
As he said that, he helped her stand steady with one hand and opened the car door with the other.
She didn't refuse and got into the passenger seat, her whole body still weak.
If she goes back like this now, she will definitely alarm Xiaoxue and the others.
"Take me to the hotel."
She didn't want Xiao Qi to see her like this.
Gong Jue said nothing.
It was already two o'clock in the morning in the dead of night, and there were no vehicles or pedestrians on the road.
She opened the car window.
The night wind was cool, but it kept her awake.
The two people who were once so close now have nothing to say.
When he arrived at the hotel, he gave her a room.
He helped her into the room and she immediately lay on the bed.
Gong Jue glanced at her, and she stared at the ceiling with her eyes wide open.
In the end, he said nothing, turned around and walked outside.
"Are you leaving like this?"
The woman who was originally lying down has sat up, her face is still so pale, and her lips are no longer red.
Her eyes were foggy, he couldn't see clearly, and neither could she.
"I'll ask the hotel to make you something to eat.
You go and wash up."
It turns out that he wasn’t leaving
Qiyue looked at his back and felt relieved.
Obviously they have divorced, and he already has Qu Nianwei, but she actually misses him at this moment and wants to tie him to her side.
She must not have sobered up, otherwise, how could she have such a mentality?
I shook my head, but as soon as I shook my head, I felt dizzy.
After standing still for a few seconds, her mind was no longer so dizzy, and then she walked into the bathroom.
When she came out wrapped in a bath towel, she saw Gong Jue sitting in the hall outside, "Come here and drink some honey tea, eat something and go to bed."
She had just finished taking a shower, and her whole body was covered with a layer of mist.
Probably because of the hot shower, there was finally some blush on her pale and colorless face.
Her wet hair was hanging on her shoulders, and there were still drops of water dripping down, soaking into the bath towel little by little.
With a beautiful snow-white neck, round shoulders, and sexy collarbones, the whole body exudes a seductive smell.
Two slender and tight legs were dangling in front of him.
His lower abdomen tightened and his throat felt slightly dry.
It turns out that as long as he sees her, he will react.
Qiyue walked over, picked up the cup, and drank the honey tea to relieve hangover.
Then he ate all the small porridge and dishes brought to the table.
He ate quietly, not paying attention to the fact that there was a man in the room, and he didn't feel that there was anything wrong with his clothes.
After eating, she patted her neck with satisfaction, raised a smile, and said, "Thank you."
Gong Jue saw her smile, as if he had seen her smiling at Qi Xiaoyi before.
My heart is very uncomfortable.
He stood up and said, "You should rest early."
After that, he turned around and prepared to leave.
If he stayed with her for too long, he was afraid that he would lose control.
He still remembered the look on her face when he did something to her in the parking lot last time.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
He is a normal man.
Although Qu Nianwei has been by his side before, he has never been moved by her, so he will never do anything else to her.
In front of Qu Nianwei, he can be very rational and calm.
But in front of Miao Qiyue, his reason and calmness could collapse at any time.
"Gong Jue" Qi Yue called him.
He paused, turned around, and looked at her quietly.
She looked at him too.
Their eyes met, and there was an electric current flowing in each other's hearts.
Qiyue approached him step by step and stood in front of him, very close.
He was so close that he could smell the scent of her body after bathing, and his heart was beating so hard that it almost jumped out of his chest.
His throat couldn't help but roll, and the strange feeling in his body became stronger and stronger.
Qi Yue had a husband and wife relationship with him, so she naturally knew what his every reaction meant.
She raised her hand and gently touched his face.
At the moment of contact, she clearly felt his body tremble slightly again.
"Why are you so thin?"
The tone was very soft, sliding through his heart like a feather.
He was nervous and his body was tense.
Her fingers slowly touched his eyebrows, her delicate eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and her eyes revealed heartache, "My eyes are all covered with bloodshot eyes.
Is it because I didn't sleep well or didn't get any rest?"
She was really sad I felt bad, thinking that if he got divorced, he might live a better life, but he didn't.
"Do you remember me?"
She asked softly, looking into those dark blue eyes.
Remember, how you felt about me at that time She should have known, from what he did in the underground garage.
No, maybe earlier.
He has a strong possessive desire for her.
When he has no feelings for her, he will reject her if she takes the initiative to touch him.
Gong Jue took her hand and said firmly, "No."
Qi Yue was not disappointed after hearing this, she just raised the corners of her lips, "Why are you so cruel and so duplicitous?
Gong Jue, we have been together for more than ten years.
I used to not be able to see through your heart, but now, I understand .
Gong Jue, I will give you one last chance.
Do you want to come back to me?
I don’t mind if you spend time with Qu Nianwei.
I don’t mind if you get along day and night.
Do you want to come back?
Do you want me to continue doing this?
Your palace wife" After she finished speaking, she looked into his eyes, not missing any trace of his emotions.
Gong Jue's heart tightened from the beginning, and her heart was beating in her hands, trying to get free.
She was still willing to give him a chance.
He should be moved, and he was indeed moved.
But how could he come back to her at this time?
"Can you give me this opportunity next time?"
His voice was trembling, because he was afraid that she would refuse.
Qiyue was slightly stunned.
She thought he would either refuse or agree, but she didn't expect him to say this.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
"Next time" she chuckled, "next time, when?"
There was a hint of mockery in her tone.
Did she overestimate her position in his heart?
Even if she gave him a chance, he was still unwilling to come back to her right away.
Could it be that it wasn't that he didn't have feelings for her before, and that not having feelings for her was just an excuse.
One and Qu Nian Wei's excuse to renew their relationship.
Gong Jue wanted to give her some time, but how could he dare to conclude that he would still be standing in front of her at that time?
If the time came, he was gone.
For her, it was another deception.
The most annoying thing about people is expectations.
Because if you don’t expect something, it will turn into disappointment.
Some disappointments can make people collapse.
He couldn't give time.
Without waiting for him, Qiyue took a step back, with a hint of loneliness in her smile, "Let's go."
She really shouldn't drink.
When she drinks, she becomes confused.
When confused, she does things that she deeply despises.
Not only do you tell the truth when you're drunk, you also do things you wouldn't do when you're sober.
"Qiyue" Qiyue turned and walked towards the bedroom, "Remember to close the door for me, thank you."
When Gong Jue saw the bedroom door being closed, her body couldn't help but trembled back.
Did that door shut him out completely?
.
Ye Shichun did not vomit like Miao Qiyue, but fell asleep.
When Mu Meng sent her back, she was still singing.
Although she couldn't hear the tune or the lyrics, she sang happily.
He took off all the clothes on her body and threw them into the clothes basket.
He went to get a basin of hot water, wrung out the towel and wiped her body bit by bit.
Probably because she was drunk, her body was very rosy, like a ripe peach, exuding an alluring fragrance that made people want to take a bite.
Stopping the idea of going deeper, he wiped her body and covered her with the quilt.
He walked into the bathroom and took a cold shower The result of a hangover is that I feel dizzy when I wake up, and my stomach is still uncomfortable and tight.
It took her a few minutes to get used to this feeling, and as soon as she opened her eyes, she felt quite sober.
Why is she here?
Didn't they break up?
Why does she still appear here?
Also, wasn't Qiyue drinking with Qiyue last night?
Suddenly a gust of wind blew and her body felt cold.
She looked down and said, "Ah" What does it mean she's naked?
Mu Meng heard the cry and opened the door.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh chatiness shouting louder and louder."
Ye Shichun held the quilt tightly and stared at Mu Meng warily.
Although they had both seen each other's bodies and done more daring moves, they were a couple at the time.
Now that they have broken up, being naked for him to see again is as uncomfortable as being seen by a strange man.
Mu Meng frowned and said, "What's your name?
If you call me again, believe it or not, I will hang you outside the balcony."
"You're perverted," Ye Shichun said angrily.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
"Don't you like my perversion?"
"you" I have to admit that they have tried many perverted positions together, and she really likes them.
But "We have broken up," she said angrily.
Mu Meng raised his eyebrows and said, "Yeah.
I forgot."
After that, he walked out of the room.
Ye Shichun was so angry that she grabbed the quilt fiercely, thinking that the quilt was that stinky man and wanted to tear it into pieces.
