Chapter 43: The Thirty-Sixth Style of Chasing One's Wife

  Qiao Yu drank and couldn't drive, he sat in the passenger seat and looked at Ji Siyu who was wearing her seatbelt, asking tentatively, "You're not angry anymore?"

  "The plan didn't pass? How can a plan possibly pass once and for all without being revised eight or ten times?"

  Visit:

  “Hmph, who let the partner be someone who understands the trade, I'm unlucky indeed!” Ji Siyu said nonchalantly, then suddenly remembered something and turned to look at him, “Am I really such a petty person in your eyes?”

  Qiao Yu immediately shook his head and sensibly stopped pursuing the topic. "No, no, let's get going."

  On the way back, Bo Qi's face was exceptionally gloomy and he didn't say a word.

  Xie Ningchun seemed to be frightened and stuttered, "Sister, I originally wanted to help you..."

  "Help me?" Bo Ji Shi sneered, "Help me push Qiao Yu away completely?"

  Xie Ning had never seen her usually gentle cousin look like this before. She seemed to have suddenly changed her face, and it was especially frightening. "Cousin... you..."

  Baoji Shi suddenly lost his composure and furrowed his brow, no longer speaking.

  The next day, Ji Si Xuan sat in the office and looked at the exquisitely packaged chocolate in front of her, then looked at Qiao Yu, "What are you doing? Halloween is over."

  Qiao Yu's face was full of naturalness, "Chasing you!"

  Ji Siyuan was speechless, rubbing the chocolate box, tilting his head and teasing him, "Qiao Bu, shouldn't you go learn how to chase 'girls'?"

  Chasing after girls is really not Qiao Yu's thing, he also looked confused, "I've sent flowers, bought chocolates, what else do I need?"

  Ji Siyun didn't know how to describe her emotions at this moment, peeled a chocolate and threw it into her mouth, then looked at Qiao Yu with an expressionless face, "No need, nothing is needed anymore, you, I don't need either."

  Qiao Yu has deeply understood the truth that 'a woman's heart is as unpredictable as a needle at the bottom of the ocean', and he fears that if he continues to speak, she will directly turn her face away and leave in a daze.

  That night, Qiao Yu gave up after browsing through hundreds of search results on how to chase 'girls', and decided to consult with experienced people instead.

  He chose Xiao Ziyuan after some deliberation, and when he called Xiao Ziyuan, he learned that Sui Yi was on night shift. He sincerely brought fruit to his home to ask for advice while taking care of the children himself.

  Xiao Ziyuan didn't stand on ceremony either, and after accepting the gift, he went into the kitchen to make a fruit salad.

  。

  Qiao Yu didn't say a word, lowering his head to watch as he expertly skinned and cut the meat into pieces. Xiao Zi Yuan was also good at holding back, if Qiao Yu didn't take the initiative to speak, he wouldn't ask either.

  Qiao Yu hesitated for a moment before gathering his courage and asking, "Xiao Ziyuan, I have a question to ask you..."

  Xiao Ziyuan didn't even lift his head, "Ask away."

  Qiao Yu coughed lightly and asked, "How did you manage to catch up with Sui Yi back then?"

  Xiao Ziyuan never expected Qiao Yu to ask him this question, and he looked up at him with a calm and collected expression.

  Qiao Yu was annoyed by him, and he stuffed a piece of dragon fruit into his mouth, his eyes drifting away as he pretended to be nonchalant, "Nothing, just asking casually."

  Xiao Ziyuan smiled and washed his hands while shouting towards the living room, "Yun Xing, come eat some fruit."

  Xiao Yun Xing, who was playing in the living room, quickly ran over and hugged Qiao Yu's leg, calling him "Second Uncle".

  Xiao Ziyuan gave Qiao Yu a glance, picked up Xiao Yunxian and put him on the kitchen counter before asking, "Yunxian, do you have a crush on any girl in kindergarten?"

  Xiao Yun Xing shook his head while stuffing fruit into his mouth, "No."

  Xiao Ziyuan continued to ask, "Is there anyone who likes you?"

  Xiao Yun Xing thought for a moment and frankly admitted, "Yes."

  "So how did they all fall in love with you?"

  Xiao Yun Xing thought for a moment, "Use zero 'flower' money to buy things and give them to me."

  Qiao Yu couldn't help but find the conversation between father and son somewhat amusing. Xiao Ziyuan finished speaking and turned to Qiao Yu, "A principle that even children understand, yet you don't comprehend."

  Xiao Yun finished swallowing the last mouthful of fruit, and after wiping her mouth and washing her hands, she explained, "Dad, I didn't want any."

  Xiao Zi Yuan patted his head, "Good boy, you did the right thing. How can you casually accept things from a girl?"

  Xiao Yun Xing blinked her big eyes and asked, "What about the boy's?"

  Xiao Ziyuan handed him a towel to wipe his hands, "Of course it's no use now"

  。”

  Xiao Yun Xing looked at him, "Dad, then why did you take Second Uncle's things?"

  Qiao Yu couldn't help but turn his head away and laugh.

  Xiao Ziyuan was taken aback and tapped on the half-empty salad bowl, "May I ask who ate all the things I received?"

  Xiao Yun Xing stretched out his chubby fingers and pointed to himself, Qiao Yu was amused, hugging him and putting him on the ground. "Okay okay, Second Uncle bought it for himself, coincidentally Second Uncle's house has no water, so he came here to wash fruits, and share with you and Dad. Good kids should learn to share, right?"

  Xiao Yun nodded slightly.

  Xiao Ziyuan patted his head, "Good boy, go play!"

  Xiao Yun Xing immediately ran away with a rustling sound.

  Qiao Yu finally understood Xiao Ziyuan's intention and teased, "So, your family is in charge of financial power with Su Yi?"

  Xiao Ziyuan laughed with a black belly, implying something, "It's not embarrassing for wives to manage money, what's really embarrassing is that you can't find anyone to help you manage it."

  Xiao Ziyuan's words really stimulated Qiao Yu, and Qiao Yu immediately went home to start rummaging through his belongings, putting all kinds of certificates into a file bag before going to sleep with peace of mind.

  The next morning, Ji Siyuan met Qiao Yu again in front of the office door.

  Qiao Yu followed her in and silently placed the file bag in front of her.

  Ji Siyuan didn't expect this man to suddenly come up with some 'romantic' move, and opened it perfunctorily, then got a fright.

  House deed, blank checks, credit card supplementary cards, car keys, and a pile of papers she couldn't understand, as well as a set of keys to who-knows-where. Ji Si Xuan raised an eyebrow at him, "What's this? Showing off your wealth? Qiao Bu, it seems you've saved up quite the dowry over the years."

  Qiao Yu helplessly said, "What's the point of showing off your wealth? I'm chasing you! This is all my property now - house, car, savings, and there are a few watches at home. If you're interested, you can go take a look."

  Ji Siyun finally understood what Qiao Yu was doing, and apart from being speechless, she actually found Qiao Yu's foolishness cute, holding back her laughter to ask, "Who taught you?"

  Qiao Yu hesitated and didn't dare say it out loud, his eyes darting back and forth, "No one..."

  。”

  Ji Siyun thought that Qiao Yu's style couldn't produce such an action, and narrowed her eyes to guess, "Xiao Ziyuan?"

  Qiao Yu shook his head, "No."

  Ji Siyun thought for a moment, "Wen Shaqing?"

  Qiao Yu continued shaking his head, "Not either."

  "Lin Chen?" Ji Siyu guessed and immediately denied herself, "No, Lin Chen didn't even catch up himself, how could he teach you... who is it after all?"

  Qiao Yu's expression was complex, and he hesitated for a long time. He glanced at Ji Siyuan extremely quickly, "Xiao Yun Xing."

  Ji Siyuan immediately leaned on the table and patted it, not giving him any face, laughing uncontrollably.

  Qiao Yu's face turned darker and darker in her exaggerated laughter, and after Ji Siyu noticed this, she finally stopped laughing, coughed lightly and asked very seriously, "Qiao Yu, have you really not been pursued by anyone these few years?"

  Qiao Yu's mood had hit rock bottom, like a sulky child, "Didn't notice."

  Ji Siyuan couldn't help but turn her head and smile again.

  Qiao Yu felt that he had been played by Xiao Zi Yuan, and he ran away in a very embarrassed manner, muttering to himself, "I said back then that I wouldn't be able to chase after 'girls' like that, and I also wouldn't know how to speak sweet words... you didn't say we had to learn it either, so what are we supposed to do now..."

  Ji Siyuan laughed even louder after hearing it.

  Qiao Yu went to find Xiao Zi Yuan to settle accounts when Xiao Zi Yuan was answering a call from Sui Yi.

  Su Yi asked Xiao Zi Yuan, "What happened between you and Yun Xing last night? I just got off work and received a call from the 'female' demon, she complained about you."

  Xiao Ziyuan's face was filled with a sense of satisfaction and revenge, "I told you, back then when I was pursuing you, he ridiculed me. Finally, the debt has been repaid."

  Qiao Yu walked to the office door and heard this sentence, suddenly enlightened, turned around with a gloomy face and went to the tea room, planning to get a glass of iced water to redeem this crappy morning.

  。

  Who would have thought that even tea and water could be a minefield?

  Ji Siyuan was waiting in the tea room for the microwave to heat up her milk when Bo Jishi knocked on the door and walked in, still with a gentle yet apologetic expression. "Sorry about what happened yesterday."

  Ji Siyun tilted her head and glanced at her, lazily opening her mouth, "Qiao Yu is not here again, no need to be so polite, Director Bao."

  Bo Qi Shi immediately explained, "You misunderstood, actually I and Qiao Yu are just ordinary friends, we..."

  Ji Siyuan was very clear about her route, next she probably just wanted to describe in a way that didn't 'reveal' any traces of her relationship with Qiao Yu being "ordinary", she impatiently interrupted, "No one said you two aren't ordinary friends."

  Bo Ji suddenly smiled after understanding the meaning behind Ji Siyu's words, "Don't you believe that there can be pure friendships between men and women in this world?"

  Ji Siyun also learned to smile like her, "Yes, between men and women, it is possible to have a pure friendship, as long as one keeps quiet and the other pretends to be stupid. Bao Zong, in this world, I've only seen one truly gentle and elegant woman, her name is Sui Yi, her gentleness and elegance are deep within her bones, but yours are just on your face. A person's temperament and cultivation have nothing to do with their appearance, but rather with the marks left by their inner self and experiences. Elegance and refinement are not something that can be put on, as the saying goes, 'the heart gives rise to one's appearance, and the environment is transformed by the heart.' Bao Zong, what you rely on to get where you are today is pride, vanity, jealousy, and revenge, rather than innate kindness. How can you become virtuous and gentle?"

  She has passed the age of showing off her sharpness and leaving no room for others, and has also learned to deal with her opponents without leaving any marks.

  Qiao Yu felt that eavesdropping was not something a gentleman would do, and just as he turned around, he happened to hear the phrase "rather die than say" and "play dumb to the end". Ji Siyuan's toneless voice made him exclaim in his heart: "It's over."

  She knew it all along.

  She suddenly felt that the more sorrowful she was, the more sorrowful she would be. At first, she approached Qiao Yu in the name of friendship, thinking she was clever. If she showed her affection for him, he would definitely stay away from her. Only now did she realize that she had blocked her own way out from the beginning. Friends? She thought that friends and girlfriends were just a step away, but didn't know the truth that even close relationships can be worlds apart. It was indeed a case of being too clever for one's own good.
