834 How Cheap Is Your Life? (IV)

Mo Xun saw her face change, and subconsciously followed her gaze, "Hey, this person is still haunting! What's going on?"

What they saw was none other than Tang Jue, who they thought had left before.

And...

He was no longer alone, and there was a young woman who looked like a fairy beside him.

Qi Qi looked from a distance and recognized the person next to him at a glance, it was Wen Xin mentioned by Ruan Mengmeng today.

So...

As expected, this man would not be interested in only one person.

She was in the line, and the other women were also in the line...

Qi Qi looked at the two people standing side by side, who were very pleasing to the eye, and was a little distracted for a while. She couldn't tell what she felt in her heart. Suddenly, she was sure that Tang Jue was just playing with her, and she should feel relieved. But, it seemed that she was not only relieved in her heart.

"Qi Qi, come back to your senses."

Mo Xun's voice brought her back to her senses.

She uttered a soft "ah", and Mo Xun lowered his head and spoke to her in a low voice, "Although Tang Jue is pretty, my parents are here, please give me some face, okay?"

"...I'm sorry." She was distracted. She apologized softly and forced a smile. She didn't look over there again.

On the other side.

The manager hurried over.

"Mr. Tang, today... here, I didn't know you were coming, so I didn't clear the place in advance."

"No need."

Tang Jue only had three cold words.

Wen Xin took his arm and said to the manager in a gentle voice: "Make room for a private room, we can sit in the private room."

"Okay. I'll prepare it right away."

"Make room for that table for me, we'll sit there." Tang Jue's beautiful chin gestured to a corner.

The manager and Wen Xin were both surprised.

Everyone knew that he didn't like crowded spaces, even in such a quiet atmosphere. Today, something was abnormal.

Wen Xin was most afraid of the abnormal Tang Jue, so she didn't dare to say a word and just nodded.

Of course, it was the best thing for her to dine with Tang Jue in such a public place. She wished she could have an open relationship with Tang Jue. Although, to be honest, they were not really related.

————

After that...

Qi Qi, who was dining with the elders of the Mo family, saw that the guests at the next table were invited to another table by the manager after repeated apologies, amends, and gifts. And then...

Tang Jue, held by Wen Xin, walked slowly over.

As they got closer and closer, Qi Qi felt like a thorn in her back. She almost couldn't hold the chopsticks in her hand. She didn't know what Tang Jue wanted, but now that the elders of the Mo family were sitting here, she didn't want to cause any trouble in front of them.

Tang Jue and Wen Xin sat down at the table next to them. When she passed by their table, she never looked at them for a second from beginning to end. It seemed that she was a non-existent transparent person.

Qiqi's tense heart relaxed a little, and suddenly she felt that her nervousness was unreasonable and ridiculous. He might just come to eat with his girlfriend, so how could she be so self-indulgent as to think that he was here just for her?

"Qiqi, why am I absent-minded all the time? Could it be that Tang Jue is too handsome and you are stunned?"

Mo Xun joked with her half-seriously.

Qiqi ignored him and just handed the shrimps she had just peeled to Mo's mother and father's bowls. Wu Songling smiled happily and liked Qiqi no matter how she looked at her. She praised: "Mo Xun, look at your Qiqi, how considerate! You have good vision to find such a good daughter-in-law for us. In this life, you have to treat her well for me, and mom has decided on her."

"That's not just your mother, your father and me too."

Mo Xun laughed and looked at Qiqi, "Did you hear that, wife, you can't abandon me in this life."

Qiqi really admired Mo Xun, who acted so realistically. The three words "for a lifetime" were also said very fluently. She followed suit, "Got it, I will never abandon you for a lifetime."

On the other side...

"Jue, are you okay?" Wen Xin exclaimed softly, and immediately took out the paper and grabbed Tang Jue's hand in her hand with heartache.

A water cup broke directly on Tang Jue's hand.

The broken glass was embedded in his palm, deeply embedded, and blood flowed out.

"Let go." Tang Jue's beautiful thin lips moved, and only gave Wen Xin two cold words.

Wen Xin was worried, but she saw the terrifying storm in his eyes, and she didn't dare to say more. I don't know what happened to him today. Although he was also moody in the past, he didn't show his emotions on his face like today.

——

"Mom and Dad, I'm going to wash my hands, you guys eat slowly." Halfway through the meal, Qiqi stood up.

"Do you want me to go with you?" Mo Xun asked very considerately.

"No need." Qiqi shook her head, "You stay with your parents."

She stood up and walked to the bathroom. When she went to the bathroom, she had to pass by Tang Jue and Wen Xin's table. She only looked straight ahead, imitating Tang Jue's previous behavior and never looked at him more than once. However, she was still inexplicably nervous.

————

Qiqi washed her hands, looked at herself in the mirror, and sighed.

This meal was inexplicably like a war. I don't know if I'm too sensitive.

She shook her head and decided to really and completely ignore Tang Jue's existence when she went out. She took a deep breath and walked out. When she reached the door, her steps were stunned.

A tall figure was standing in the dim corridor, leaning against the wall, with a cigarette lit on his slender fingers.

The man was lazy but noble, and the light and shadow from the retro palace lantern above his head made his handsome features look a bit mysterious and hazy.

Qiqi only took a look and turned away, trying to walk past him silently.

But...

As she passed by, her elbow was suddenly grabbed by the man.

The next moment, the cigarette butt threw a beautiful arc in the air and landed steadily in the ashtray beside her.

Qiqi pursed her lips, said nothing, and just twisted his hand. He turned around and pressed her against the wall. The air conditioner in the restaurant was turned on very high. There was a vent above their heads. Qiqi was wearing a skirt and standing there, and she felt that the wall behind her was freezing cold.

But...

No matter how cold it was, it was not as cold as the look in his eyes at her at this moment.

"You try so hard to please them, do you really want to be their daughter-in-law?"

Tang Jue's voice was still gentle. However, this gentleness was clearly like a sharp knife, shaving her body one by one, piercing her with pain.

"... Mo Xun and I are a legal couple, and I am their daughter-in-law."

"You dare to call it a legal couple in a marriage of convenience?" Tang Jue sneered, and then raised her eyes and looked at her steadily, as if he wanted to see through her, "Qiqi, is your 'lifetime' really so cheap that I can promise it, even to a gay, you dare to promise it casually?"
