CHAPTER 69
An Rixi didn't expect that Qin Zhaoci would be so ruthless now, not even caring about their previous friendship. She herself even forgot to pretend, and her tears just hung on her face, even her makeup became a little messy because she didn't wipe off her tears.
Seeing her like this, Qin Zhaoci had no sympathy for her. She turned her head, picked up her wine glass, and continued to take a sip without paying attention to her anymore.
Wan Baiyun didn't expect Qin Zhaoci to be true to her word, and didn't even give An Rixi a good face. She was also surprised and couldn't even kept her mouth shut.
After a few seconds of awkwardness, An Rixi lowered her face and pursed her lips in a somber tone, "Xiaoci, I didn't expect you to become like this, I'm really disappointed."
Qin Zhaoci did not reply to her, she just lowered her head and continued to drink her wine, because of that An Rixi turned and just left angrily.
After Anrich went upstairs, she went first to the restroom to touch up her makeup before going to the box pretending as if she was fine.
The woman who had been following Qin Zhaoci and An Rixi's movements upstairs saw An Rixi coming back alone, and asked with some confusion: "Why didn't Qin Zhaoci come up?"
An Rixi thought that it was because of her that she was urged to go down to see Qin Zhaoci just now, and her face darkened in an instant and said in an unhappy tone, "She has something to do that's why she needs to go home."
The woman immediately understood that An Rixi was rejected by Qin Zhaoci, and she was now very upset after being rejected.
The woman who knew what kind of character An rixi has in private, immediately shut up, huddling in a corner like a turtle, not daring to add fuel to the fire.
.....
"That was really cruel, Qin Zhaoci." Wan Baiyun touched Qin Zhaoci's arm, "You've made her so angry."
Qin Zhaoci shrugged: "What does it have to do with me if she got angry or not?"
"Aren't you afraid that she will trip you up at some point?" Wan Baiyun raised her eyebrows, "The Qin family still has business cooperation with the An family."
Qin Zhaoci frowned: "Is the An family irreplaceable? Apart from the An family, can't the Qin family find any other business partners? In addition, I have never been in charge of the Qin family, and this An Rixi seems to have little say in the An family as well, so don't worry too much about her."
Wan Baiyun touched her chin: "At present, the only company in the Empire that specializes in smart homes is An family. The An family can be said to have monopolized the industry and maliciously competed to bring down many newly established companies. It is quite excessive."
Qin Zhaoci lowered her eyes: "But she won't be able to touch the Qin family."
"You're right. There are still smart home companies on other planets, and they really can't control the Qin family." Wan Baiyun nodded, "But I still have to give the An family some face."
"Let's stop talking about her, anyway, I don't want to give her face now." Qin Zhaoci shook her head, and suddenly stood up from her seat, "It's getting late, I'm going home, and you should go back as well."
"Just like that?" Wan Baiyun was a bit stunned, "You're going back without saying anything just like that?"
"Otherwise, you can't drink tonight and I can't keep drinking all the time, It's quite boring, you're not going back?" Qin Zhaoci turned to look at her suspiciously.
Wan Baiyun nodded: "Uh, of course I'll go back too, let's go."
Watching Qin Zhaoci and Wan Baiyun get up and prepare to leave, Ye Lianyin quickly lowered the brim of her hat, quickly came out from the other door of the bar, got into the car to return home as fast as possible.
After returning home, Ye Lianyin quickly ran upstairs and changed into her house coat. After changing, she ran down again, took a few deep breaths, calmed her breathing, and sat on the sofa pretending that nothing had happened while watching TV.
When Qin Zhaoci opened the door to went inside their house, she saw Ye Lianyin wearing a pink and white housecoat, staring at the TV with a relaxed expression.
Looking at Ye Lianyin's back sitting on the sofa, Qin Zhaoci paused for a moment, put on her slippers, and said, "I'm back."
"Mmm." Ye Yuyin deliberately did not turn her head to look at her, and responded flatly, but her hands on her knees slightly tightened, revealing the uneasiness in her heart at the moment.
She was too far away to know what Qin Zhaoci had said to An Rixi not long ago, and she couldn't see Qin Zhaoci's expression clearly either. She only knew that the two of them chatted for a few moments, and then An Rixi went upstairs, while Qin Zhaoci went home as well.
She wasn't sure whether the current Qin Zhaoci still likes An Rixi or not.
The sudden appearance of An Rixi made Ye Lianyin lose her confidence, and she didn't know how to reasonably ask Qin Zhaoci. After all, the atmosphere between them was still a bit awkward because of the noon incident earlier.
But of course, there is always one person who is going to break the atmosphere. Qin Zhaoci glanced at her, pondered for a while, and asked, "Have you had dinner yet?"
Ye Lianyin replied, "I drank the nutritional solution."
Qin Zhaoci said, "Oh," she let out a sigh and began to be silent.
Ye Lianyin didn't want to let the atmosphere between the two of them to continue to become so awkward. She gritted her teeth, stood up and turned towards Qin Zhaoci who was now at the dining table in the living room.
Qin Zhaoci watched her walk over to her, her eyes stopped on her busted lips, and she recalled in her mind what it felt like earlier at noon.
However, she only recalled the feeling of being shocked and frightened, but nothing else.
Perhaps being aware of Qin Zhaoci's gaze, Ye Lianyin pursed her lips, blinked, and said uncomfortably: "I was a little angry at noon today, and I couldn't control my temper for a moment. That kiss was an accident. I..."
"I know." Qin Zhaoci interrupted Ye Lianyin's explanation, "I don't mind."
"You don't mind?" Ye Lianyin frowned, recalling Qin Zhaoci's words about treating herself as a sister, she forcibly smiled with a fake laughter, and tried to make her tone as cheerful as possible, "Yeah, you think of me as a sister, so you shouldn't mind that."
Qin Zhaoci open her mouth and tried to explain something, but thinking that she was not completely sure of her feelings for Ye Lianyin, she slowly closed her mouth again and fell silent.
Ye Lianyin thought that she had tacitly admitted it, she dropped her eyes in disappointment, turned back to the sofa, pretended to be calm and continued to ask: "What did you do this afternoon?"
"I didn't really do anything, I just went to the hospital for a checkup, then went to Yax bar to drink some wine, and then came back." Qin Zhaoci explained.
Hearing that Qin Zhaoci didn't hide anything, Ye Lianyin felt some comfort in her heart, pursed her lips and said, "Then you should quickly go upstairs and sleep, you have the smell of wine on you."
"Okay," Qin Zhaoci said. She lowered her head and sniffed her body, and there was indeed a strong smell of wine.
Thinking of this, Qin Zhaoci walked in the direction of the stairs, and when she passed by Ye Yuyin, she stopped for a moment, and reminded, "Your pajamas are buttoned wrong."
After saying these words, Qin Zhaoci quickly walked upstairs, returned to her room, leaned against the door, and exhaled.
After hearing Qin Zhaoci's reminder, Ye Lianyin quickly lowered her head to look at her buttons, feeling extremely embarrassed in an instant.
Because she was too anxious just now, she mistakenly buttoned the third button into the second buttonhole. Because of this, all the buttons below were buttoned wrongly. Thinking of appearing in front of Qin Zhaoci in such an image just now, Ye Lianyin couldn't wait to find a seam to get in.
Just as Ye Lianyin quickly buckled the wrong button back, Wan Baiyun also returned home.
Shan Pan, who had been waiting at home for a long time, saw her come back, and immediately beckoned for her to sit on the sofa.
Wan Baiyun thought she wanted to smell to see if she had been drinking, so she immediately took off her coat, sat next to Shan Pan and said, "I didn't drink tonight, it was just all because of Qin Zhaoci."
Shan Pan knew that but she couldn't really tell Wan Baiyun that Ye Lianyin also went to the Jax Bar today, so she just pretended not to know, sniffed her closer, and nodded: "Hmm, you really didn't drink."
Wan Baiyun was a bit proud: "See, I always do what you say."
Shan Pan is not unaware of Wan Baiyun's smug behavior, nodded in agreement, and pretended to ask, "I seem to have recently heard that the An family's An Rixi seems to have returned to the Empire."
"That's right." Wan Baiyun nodded, recalling that Shan Pan seemed to have met An Rixi before, "It's just this week, we even saw her at the dinner yesterday."
Shan Pan raised her eyebrows: "Qin Zhaoci saw her too? Didn't she say anything? I remember that she used to like An Rixi quite a lot, and everyone in the circle knew about it."
Wan Baiyun frowned, turned her head to look at Shan Pan with suspicion in her eyes: "Why are you suddenly curious about Qin Zhaoci?"
Shan Pan retracted her gaze and blinked calmly, "My best friend Yinyin is now married to Qin Zhaoci, so of course I have to find out what's going on, in case Qin Zhaoci puts a green hat [To be a cuckold; An expression that Chinese use when a woman cheats on her husband or boyfriend.] on Yinyin behind her back. Our family Yinyin can't afford to lose to this person, I still remember how Qin Zhaoci was responsive to An Rixi before."
"If you're talking about that, then you don't have to worry." Wan Baiyun shook her head, "Qin Zhaoci has lost her memory and doesn't remember An Rixi. Not only last night, but also tonight Qin Zhaoci didn't give An Rixi a good face. Her face was full of impatience, and she even looked very relieved after An Rixi left."
"That's what an Alpha should be. Unlike before that she used to look at An Rixi with a dog-licking appearance. She was played around by this woman, and gave that woman a lot of money just to flatter her. She didn't even hesitate to endure the ten-year susceptibility period for her."
"Qin Zhaoci endured the ten-year susceptibility period for her?" Shan Pan's tone rose.
Wan Baiyun immediately covered her mouth, not thinking that she had blurted out without noticing, and just wanted to find a reason to muddle through.
As a result, when she raised her eyes, she saw Shan Pan staring at her with a serious face.
She immediately put away her words and nodded, "Yeah, in the past, Qin Zhaoci did such a naive thing in order to prove that she was loyal to An Rixi and that it had to be with her, it was really naive, don't you think so."
"No wonder you faltered when Qin Zhaoci was in her susceptible period last time, so it was because of this." Shan Pan quickly recalled what happened last time, "I didn't expect that although the former Qin Zhaoci was a prodigal, she was still quite affectionate, to be able to endure for so many years of the susceptibility period for the sake of an Omega."
Wan Baiyun sneered with disgust: "Oh, it sounds affectionate if you say it's good, but it's stupid to say if it's bad. An Rixi used her from beginning to end, she used the Qin family behind her to pave the way for her own An family. On the one hand, she was hanging on to Qin Zhaoci, on the other hand, she was ambiguous with many Alphas, and there were even several bed companions. The previous Qin Zhaoci really threw herself on An Rixi with all her heart, completely out of her mind, and was being played around."
