Ruan Xiaoxiao, who was at the side, said with all his heart, "Look at your useless appearance, are you afraid of him becoming like this?"
When he said these words, Ruan Xiaoxiao had already forgotten how he looked when he was afraid of Lu Jingyun.
"Enough, let\'s go."
Qiao Yi pulled Ruan Xiaoxiao and wanted to leave, but she couldn\'t leave so easily.
"I\'m not leaving. You said you were going to accompany me. Who cares, I\'ll leave after I finish drinking."
"That\'s right, there\'s no need to rush off. Can we have a drink together?"
It was unknown when a man walked over, and seemed to be interested in Qiao Yi as he invited him.
"No — I don\'t drink —"
Qiao Yi immediately shook his hands as if he was frightened, causing the man to smile even more.
"Don\'t be afraid, it\'s just a drink. I can see that your friend is enjoying himself."
Ruan Xiaoxiao faintly smiled at the man who spoke to Qiao Yi, sweeping his gaze across Qiao Yi\'s anxious eyes. Just as he was about to say something, the expression on his face suddenly froze, and the corner of his mouth twitched suspiciously.
"Yah!"
Qiao Yi also saw that Lu Jingyun was quickly coming over from the man\'s side.
"Hubby!"
Qiao Yi\'s voice was submissive, he immediately got down from his seat and went over to Lu Jingyun.
Lu Jingyun\'s face was ashen as he directly grabbed Qiao Yi\'s arm and pulled her out of the light.
In the taxi, Qiao Yi carefully took a peek at Lu Jingyun\'s gloomy expression. His hands were still tightly clenched, and he did not dare to move even an inch.
She wanted to open her mouth to explain, but due to the unsightly expression on his face, she didn\'t dare to do so.
Along the way, they silently returned home.
Upon entering, without waiting for Lu Jingyun to make a move, she immediately opened her mouth to explain.
"Hubby, don\'t be angry. "Actually …"
After she finished talking about what happened tonight, she was like a primary school student who had done something wrong. She lowered her head and stood in front of Lu Jingyun, nervously waiting for his criticism or forgiveness.
Lu Jingyun didn\'t speak for a long time, his pitch black eyes staring at her uneasy little face, his fingers twisted helplessly. He who was originally filled with rage, finally, the anger in her eyes that was filled with shock, slowly dissipated.
"You\'re not allowed to go to that place in the future." He spoke with a tone of authority.
"I promise, there won\'t be a second time."
Qiao Yi immediately expressed his opinion, determined not to offend.
Lu Jingyun snorted and dragged her to the bathroom, "Bath."
He didn\'t like the smell of her cigarettes and alcohol she\'d stained in the bar.
Qiao Yi\'s face was red again, but she didn\'t reject their idea of bathing together.
Ye Zichen let out a long sigh in his heart. Is this considered as having passed?
However, after comforting Lu Jingyun for a long time, she seemed to have thought of something. How could he travel from the company to the pub so quickly?
Qiao Yi didn\'t have much time to think about how quickly Lu Jingyun could move from the company to the bar, but she was distracted by Lu Jingyun and she had never doubted that he could lie to her. What she was thinking about was whether or not Lu Jingyun should remember that she had been dragged to a bar.
The next day, Qiao Yi went to work with dark circles under his eyes.
It wasn\'t easy for him to get to the afternoon break when he was hit by a red bomb from his colleagues at the company.
"Next weekend, don\'t miss the Jingya Hotel!"
Looking at his colleagues who were surrounded by curiosity and congratulations, Qiao Yi thought to himself that this was the wedding present again!
"Aiya, this young Chen has such good fortune. Hubby is also the manager and he chose the Jingya Hotel. That level is not low at all."
"That\'s right, then we can\'t afford any less money. Sister Wang, how much do you think we should pay? "
"In my opinion, the lowest requirement should be at least a thousand."
They were discussing over there, but the number of one thousand scared Qiao Yi. A thousand is too much.
Qiao Yi frowned, and thought for a while. In truth, among colleagues, 500 to 600 was already not a small number, but it had already exceeded 1000, definitely surpassing the range that she could accept.
"Little Qiao, what do you think?"
"Er — Sister Wang, I don\'t know either. I haven\'t even bowed. In the past, how much did all of you follow when colleagues of the company got married? "
Qiao Yi thought that there had to be a precedent.
"This can\'t be compared to the past. Little Chen\'s parents are both bank executives, and her husband is the manager of the company. Even if you don\'t have enough money, you still can\'t take it out."
But I don\'t have much either!
Qiao Yi silently cursed in his heart, but in the end, he did not say that he had won much.
"I know your conditions are not good. It\'s alright, you\'ve already taken too much. When you get married, I\'ll have to repay you, right?"
Qiao Yi gave a hollow laugh, but did not say anything.
At night, she told this to Lu Jingyun.
However, Lu Jingyun\'s opinion was that it should follow the flow of the crowd.
"That must be a lot." Qiao Yi said, "Those people all seem to be praising little Chen, they definitely gave us a lot."
"It\'s fine. They\'ll come out when we get married." Lu Jingyun comforted her by kissing her wrinkled eyebrows. However, he was still thinking about the wedding.
Last night, Qiao Yi was not mistaken, the familiar figure was Lu Jingyun. After being invited by Mo Jincheng to Flowing Light, other than talking about the recent movements in the capital, Mo Jincheng had also mentioned about the matter regarding him and Qiao Yi.
I got it, but hiding it like this isn\'t a long term solution.
Although being in the River City was still considered safe, there would be a day when they had to go to the capital. Sooner or later, Qiao Yi would have to face things that she had never faced before, including the things that he had hidden himself.
