Chapter 1366: The Love Between Husband and Wife Is Stronger Than Gold
Qi Yao stared into Seventeen's eyes. Seventeen suddenly covered his own eyes and howled, "I really lost to you!"
Qi Yao suddenly laughed out loud and sighed, "If you really say that Zhou Haoyu has no motives, it's really that pure, but look at you, he's only seen you twice since he came back, and your heart has already leaned towards him. If I'm not mistaken, have you already begun to forgive him in your heart?"
"Qi Yao..."
"Don't deny it so quickly. Are you saying that when Zhou Haoyu is dead, he is like a stranger to you now? But is this your reaction to a stranger? Qiqi, no matter what, the first time he appeared, there was a conflict between us. Why? You went to see him again today, and when you came back you questioned me. Now, you have begun to favor him, haven't you?" Qi Yao explained softly.
But Qi Yao's words could easily be misunderstood. Look, Seventeen's eyes quickly turned cold and his voice became sharp.
"You think I've been used? So I'm so stupid in your eyes, right?"
Seventeen's face turned red with anger. Qi Yao reached out to pull her, but Seventeen directly pushed him away, strode towards the car, and turned back to yell at him.
"You are all smart people, all conspirators! I am the only fool, I am a fool! Okay?"
Qi Yao rubbed his forehead helplessly. This girl...
Qi Yao followed behind, but instead of getting in the car, he leaned over the window and looked at Shiqi with a teasing look, "Are you angry?"
"Don't talk to me, or you'll accuse me of being unreasonable!" Seventeen snorted coldly and turned his face away.
"Heh..." Qi Yao laughed out loud, seemingly in a good mood, and defended himself, "I never said you were being unreasonable. You were the one who said that."
Seventeen turned around and glared at Qi Yao. Qi Yao suddenly reached out and pinched Seventeen's face, pinching her chin as if in a provocative move. Seventeen angrily slapped the back of his hand.
"Don't touch me, you jerk!"
"Come on, why don't you just not touch it? What do you want to eat?" Qi Yao asked with a smile.
Seventeen stared at Qi Yao's smiling face, somewhat confused. Her snow-white hand gently touched Qi Yao's face. Qi Yao sighed and said, "Your hands are really cold. Are you very cold?"
Seventeen shook her head. It was undeniable that this man was very good. He wasn't as capable as the elite, but he exuded a warmth that made people want to be around him. No matter how far-fetched and excessive his actions were, she couldn't bear to resent him. Deep down, she subconsciously sided with him. Regarding Zhou Haoyu's matter, Qi Yao was clearly at fault, but she couldn't blame him.
Her ex-husband's return posed a threat to Qi Yao, but Seventeen saw that as Qi Yao's own imagination. She had no idea how much Zhou Haoyu had been working behind the scenes; all she saw was Qi Yao's aggressive presence. Look how understanding Zhou Haoyu had become after his reformation. He now considered everything from her perspective. While Seventeen didn't show it in front of Zhou Haoyu, her feelings had indeed changed. At least, her resentment had gradually faded after she learned of Zhou Haoyu's promiscuous ways.
Now, of the two men, Qi Yao has become the unreasonable one, while Zhou Haoyu has turned over a new leaf. From his former arrogance and disdain to his current humility and consideration for her, this is a big change.
Shiqi knew she couldn't argue with Qiyao over this. Her position was crucial; speaking up for someone else would only make Qiyao feel unbalanced. Who says men don't get jealous? She saw that men were all petty. The past was in the past, after all. There was no point in arguing with Qiyao over Zhou Haoyu. Besides, she had no intention of becoming close friends with Zhou Haoyu, not even meeting him more often.
But now Qiyao didn't believe her feelings. He kept saying that Zhou Haoyu threatened him. Qiqi was helpless. How was he threatened? Instead, Qiyao threatened Zhou Haoyu, okay? His life was at stake...
Qi Yao held Shiqi's hand, rubbed it, and breathed out, "Turn on the air conditioner, it's too cold. Let's go home and eat, okay? It will snow heavily later and the road will be difficult to walk on."
Seventeen pouted, and Qi Yao suddenly leaned his upper body into the car and kissed her on the face, "Be good."
He stepped back, his eyes as bright as gems, staring at Seventeen until her face flushed.
"Close the window." Qi Yao threw out two words and walked around the front of the car, opened the door and got in.
The windshield wipers brushed against the front window as the car started moving. Qi Yao, steering with one hand, handed the blanket from the back of the car to Shiqi with his other hand. "Here, cover your belly. Don't let our daughter get frozen."
Seventeen took the blanket and looked at Qi Yao with a cold gaze. After a long while, she asked, "What do you want to eat?"
"I'll listen to you. I can eat whatever you want." Qi Yao replied with a smile.
Suddenly, Qi Yao understood. He was Seventeen's legitimate husband. What was he worried about? The one who should be fussing over this was that scumbag Zhou Haoyu.
He did do something without telling Seventeen, but it was nothing more than his identity, and secondly, the incident three years ago. But if that incident three years ago hadn't been approved by the Third Master, even if his "false imperial decree" couldn't have been carried out, Zai An was no ordinary hired hand. If something wasn't right, wouldn't he have privately asked the Third Master for confirmation?
Therefore, the responsibility for the Tsavo West incident three years ago cannot be placed entirely on him.
From this perspective, his only weakness was his identity. But everything he did was based on his love for Shiqi. What about Zhou Haoyu? It was destruction.
He should trust Seventeen's judgment. Evil has always been defeated by good. He cannot repeatedly boost others' morale and destroy his own prestige.
Seventeen glanced at Qi Yao and asked, "What are you laughing at?"
"You're laughing at me for being an idiot." Qi Yao blurted out. As soon as these words came out, Seventeen's face instantly turned dark.
There was only a second of silence before Seventeen grabbed Qi Yao's clothes and tore them apart. "You're talking about me? You're picking on me, aren't you? How did you become so mean?"
"Let go, let go, baby, we're driving, let go quickly." Qi Yao laughed.
I don’t know if it’s because the heating is on, or if things have gotten better between the two of them, but the temperature has returned and I feel warm both physically and mentally.
Shiqi and Qiyao had a bite to eat at a restaurant near the community, and then Qiyao walked her back to the community. She had eaten too much, so they walked back, and Qiyao's car was still parked outside the restaurant.
"Why isn't it snowing? It's better to snow. I like snow." Seventeen said regretfully as he looked at the sky which was gradually clearing up.
The sun shines through the dusk clouds, and the beams of light soaked in snow water are transparent and clean. Seventeen catches the sun with his hands, and the smile in his eyes is bright and gentle.
Qi Yao checked the time and saw it was still early. He stood beside her patiently and said, "It will snow tonight. When we wake up tomorrow morning, the roofs and streets will be covered with snow."
"Really?" Seventeen turned his head, his eyes clear and pure.
Qi Yao laughed, "I guessed it."
