C177 I'll Think about It
Now, only Jian Dafa, the only family member, was left. For Jian Xi, only if he was alive would Jian Xi have the motivation to continue living.
Hearing Jian Xi's reply, Qu Yichen immediately hung up the phone.
Jian Xi heard the beeping sound from the other end of the phone. Her mind went blank and she did not have time to think about anything. She hurriedly ran out of the bathroom and went straight to Qu Yichen.
She bent down and apologized. "I'm sorry, Director Qu. I can't have dinner with you."
After saying that, he didn't listen to Qu Yichen's reply. He picked up his bag and ran out of the restaurant. Qu Yichen picked up Jian Xi's coat and hurriedly chased after her.
After all, a woman's foot strength was not as good as a man's. After a few steps, Qu Yichen caught up to Jian Xi and grabbed her. He saw Jian Xi holding back her tears and rolling around in her eyes, but she didn't leave anything behind.
Qu Yichen put the coat on Jian Xi. "I will send you back."
"No, no need. I will go back myself." Jian Xi hurriedly refused.
At this moment, Jian Xi did not dare to let Qu Yichen send her back. Once hubby Qu found out, she did not know what kind of consequences she would have to bear.
"How can I be at ease with you like this?" Qu Yichen said with a frown.
"Sure, I'll take a taxi back myself." Jian Xi forced her tears back and said firmly. She stood by the roadside and reached out to stop the car.
But now was the time to go to work. There were many cars on the road, but there were very few empty taxis.
Seeing those cars quickly passing by them, Qu Yichen pulled Jian Xi away from the edge of the road and held Jian Xi's shoulders tightly, not letting her struggle.
"Jian Xi, tell me, what happened? You are so anxious because of the phone call just now? Is it that person? "
Jian Xi didn't know who Qu Yichen was talking about when she heard him. She immediately remembered that Qu Yichen knew about hubby Qu's existence.
Jian Xi bit her lips tightly, not letting herself speak. She was afraid that she would say everything the moment she opened her mouth. She was even more afraid that once she had someone to rely on, once she lost that person to rely on, she would not be able to continue living.
Looking at Jian Xi's silent appearance, Qu Yichen pulled Jian Xi into his embrace.
"Jian Xi, leave that person! Do you know how much pain I feel when I look at you like this? If there is a problem, tell me. We can solve it together."
Qu Yichen's comforting words hit the softest part of Jian Xi's heart. In this embrace, it seemed that the sky had fallen. She did not need to be afraid anymore. The feeling of incomparable fear just now was in Qu Yichen's arms. It was gradually smoothened out.
After a long time, Jian Xi calmed down. Jian Xi gently pushed Qu Yichen's arms away. Qu Yichen did not refuse. With her strength, he pulled away the distance between the two of them.
"So, what did that person say to you?"
Jian Xi did not know how to answer Qu Yichen's question. Could it be that he told her that he was being threatened? Jian Xi could not say such words.
More importantly, this was a matter between her and hubby Qu. Even if it was resolved, she should solve it herself instead of dragging Qu Yichen into it.
Jian Xi didn't say anything, so Qu Yichen continued to persuade her. "Jian Xi, leave him. If it was because of your father's huge medical expenses, you don't have to worry. I will take care of everything. I won't use this to threaten you to be with me. You can write an IOU and slowly return it to me."
Qu Yichen's words stunned Jane for a long time. She thought that she had misheard him. This was simply a pie falling from the sky. But looking at Qu Yichen's serious expression, she knew that he wasn't joking with her.
Jian Xi looked at Qu Yichen and was at a loss. At this moment, she did not know whether she should cry or laugh. The expression on her face was a little ugly because of the struggle.
At the same time, she could not help but want to blame the heavens for not letting her meet the person in front of her earlier. If she had heard someone say that to her before she signed that ridiculous contract, she would have written the promissory note without hesitation.
Even so, Jian Xi was still very touched when she heard Qu Yichen's concern for her.
"Why, why are you so good to me?" Jian Xi asked with a choking voice.
Qu Yichen did not know whether to laugh or cry. "Tell me why!"
Qu Yichen's expression made Jian Xi recall what he had said to her not long ago. She also knew that she had long been attracted to this man in front of her.
But thinking about hubby Qu...
"Jian Xi, seeing you in such pain, I also feel very uncomfortable. I know that in a short period of time, you might not be able to accept my suggestion. You might even suspect that my motive is impure..."
Hearing the last sentence, Jian Xi shook her head. Even if there was a little doubt in her heart and felt that his goal was her, she would not say it out loud. Of course, it could also be that she was thinking too highly of herself.
When she thought of this, Jian Xi's face turned slightly red.
Seeing Jian Xi's expression, Qu Yichen seemed to give up and said. "Alright! I admit that my goal is a little impure. I hope I can get a good impression of you! But regarding my suggestion... I really hope that you can seriously consider it!"
Sigh!
Jian Xi could not help but sigh in her heart. She did not know if she should accept Qu Yichen's suggestion. If she accepted it, perhaps she would no longer have to accept hubby Qu's insulting words and physical actions.
If she did not accept it, she would have to continue to tolerate hubby Qu's threats to her, but she could not deny hubby Qu's help to the father and daughter.
"Give me some time and let me think about it, okay?" This matter was really too complicated. It moved her heart, but it also worried her. Jian Xi could not make a decision immediately.
Qu Yichen's face slightly changed, but Jian Xi, who was immersed in her own dilemma, did not notice it at all.
"Will you seriously think about it?" Qu Yichen's expression was very complicated. He asked again as if he did not believe it.
Jian Xi nodded. She looked up and saw Qu Yichen's expression that she did not know how to describe. It made Jian Xi panic a little. She was worried that Qu Yichen would misunderstand her or something. At this moment, Jian Xi only wanted to be calm and collected by herself.
"It is getting late. I will go back first."
Jian Xi hurriedly ran to the side of the road to call for a taxi. Maybe she was lucky and just happened to meet an empty taxi.
"Send me a message when you get home."
"Okay."
Jian Xi, who was sitting in the taxi, did not notice the cold air around Qu Yichen at all. There was a murderous look on her face. Her hands were clenched into fists, which made the passers-by feel afraid and walk around.
Qu Yichen watched the taxi leave for a long time before he returned to the Martial God's Japanese cuisine store. As soon as he entered the store, he attracted the Martial God's attention. The corner of Qu Yichen's mouth disappeared. He didn't say anything, and the Martial God didn't ask any further. He just placed the prepared dinner in front of Qu Yichen.
