Chapter 0051 – I Need You Now (2 / 2)

Su Wanqing stepped forward, deliberately bypassing him and trying to walk in front, trying to hide the waves in her heart with her actions.

Unexpectedly, when he passed by Qi Zhi Iu, he suddenly felt a warm force at his waist, which was a light touch without him realizing it.

She looked up in surprise and met the triumphant smugness in his eyes.

……

Passing through a long hallway, the duo eventually stopped in front of a chic wooden house.

The administrator in charge of the reception saw them and rushed forward to greet them, “Mr. Qi, your guest is waiting inside.”

Su Wanqing’s footsteps hesitated at the doorway, as if hesitating whether she should step in or not.

Qi Zhiyu sensed her retreat and reminded in a low voice, “We agreed to be together.”

At the critical moment, she actually wanted to retreat a little.

“Go ahead, I’ll go in if I need to.”

Su Wanqing’s voice was mixed with complex emotions.

It was difficult to assuage her feelings about an old friend she hadn’t seen in years, especially this one who had been her husband’s first love and her best friend in her youthful years.

“I need you now.”

Qi Zhiyu let out a light laugh, but that laugh carried an unquestionable determination, “Can we go in now?”

Su Wanqing had mixed feelings in her heart, but at his insistence, she could only follow after him with a stiff upper lip and step into that door.

“Young Master Qi!”

The door had just opened when a sweet cry pierced her eardrums like a pinprick.

Immediately after that, a woman in a bright red dress slowly walked out from behind the screen, the eye-catching red color seeming to swallow up all the surrounding luster.

“Qi ……”

When she saw Su Wanqing’s figure, she froze in place, and after a moment, her eyes began to brim with tears, “Young Master Qi, are you really going to give up on me?”

“Is there something I’m not doing well enough to make you tired of me?”

The woman said as she tried to squeeze Su Wanqing out of the way, trying to get closer to Qi Zhiyu.

Su Wanqing subconsciously moved to the side, making way for her, without the slightest will to argue in her eyes.

However, Qi Zhi Iu wrapped her arms around Su Wanqing’s waist and lightly turned around, skillfully avoiding the woman’s attempt to throw her arms around her, causing her to pounce.

The woman froze in disbelief and repeated, “Young Master Qi ……”

Qi Zhi Iu pulled out the chair beside her and gestured for Su Wanqing to sit down.

Her hands were a little sore from holding the already somewhat tired puppy, so she logically sat down in the chair and placed the puppy tenderly on her lap.

Qi Zhiyu followed close behind, settling down next to her, one hand resting casually on the back of her chair while the other gently stroked the puppy’s ears.

The puppy occasionally bobbed his head from the itching, trying to get away from his touch, but soon he stubbornly continued.

“Wooooooooo–“

The puppy let out a few sounds that seemed to be a plea for help and looked towards Su Wanqing, while she was just about to stop his teasing, she was suddenly held by him, her ten fingers intertwined together and gently rested on his second leg.

Her cheeks were instantly tinted with a scarlet red, and an inexplicable sense of embarrassment arose, as if she had been caught doing something wrong.

Unconsciously, her gaze swept over the woman, only to see that the woman was full of consternation, her voice choked, “You …… what are you young master Qi s people?”

Her words were full of disbelief and heartbreak.
