Chapter 0046 – Me and her, who do you believe? (2 / 2)

She leaned lazily on the bed, her eyes looking through the curtains to the blue sky outside the window.

A few white clouds wandering leisurely, a flock of white pigeons soaring freely, such a scene suddenly evoked the idea of her going out for a walk.

With that, she lifted the warm bedding and got up and out of bed, gingerly pulling on her coat, ready to go out and enjoy the fresh air outside.

Just at this moment, the door lock issued a “click” sound, Qi Zhi Iu with a tired dust, quietly returned.

His eyes couldn’t hide the strain of the journey, as if a heavy burden was weighing on his shoulders.

“You ……”

Su Wanqing gently opened her mouth without too much surprise in her tone, “Went out to pick the wind?”

Qi Zhi Iu answered briefly, then took off his jacket and walked towards the bathroom, ready to wash off the dust and wind.

Su Wanqing’s gaze moved with him, finally resting on the casually discarded tunic.

She had a vague feeling that the clothing seemed to be tainted with a scent that didn’t belong to him when she entered just now.

Not long after, as the sound of water stopped, Qi Zhiyu stepped out of the bathroom.

Every step he took seemed to drive the air around him to fluctuate slightly.

“The Scent of Gardenias ……”

She said softly.

“What?”

Qi Zhi Iu’s movements of rolling up his sleeves instantly froze, and a hint of incomprehension flashed across his brows.

Su Wanqing straightened her shawl, her tone unusually calm: “You have the scent of gardenia on you, it’s quite nice.”

The scent of gardenias?

Qi Zhi Iu lowered his head in slight confusion and sniffed carefully, his brows couldn’t help but knit up, looking a bit puzzled.

“This is ……”

“Between you and me, there’s no need to explain.”

Su Wanqing interrupted blandly and turned to the main topic, “Oh yeah, Zhou Yaoshi called, she said ……”

“Did you get someone to screw her?”

The corners of Qi Zhi Iu’s mouth hooked up into a cold smile, a touch of haze was hidden between his eyebrows, and his tone hid an uncontrollable anger.

She responded seriously, “She and I have been besties for years.”

Qi Zhi Iu crossed her arms with one hand, her brows locked as she stepped closer to her and asked in a low voice, “What about me and you?”

Although they met much earlier, the depth of their emotions seems to be an unanswered question.

“Hmm?”

He stared at her with unblinking eyes, an unusual seriousness in those eyes, “Who do you believe, me or her?”

Su Wanqing’s heartstrings trembled slightly, subconsciously biting her lips tightly as a way to resist the uneasiness in her heart.

“Since it wasn’t you, I’ll turn around and clear it with her.”

With that, she turned resolutely, leaving behind the words, “I’m going for a walk.”

“I’ll go with you.”

Qi Zhiyu held her wrist, his voice low and firm.

She looked back into his tired eyes, closer, and the gardenia scent grew so strong it was almost suffocating.

What she longed for was to stroll alone and enjoy a piece of peace and quiet, not to be followed around by what seemed like a walking bottle of perfume.

“Okay, let the caregiver stay with me.”

She compromised with the suggestion, secretly looking forward to that moment of peace.
