Chapter 0059 – Favored Wife (1 / 2)

“Wait, did you find out about the Northern Italian Big Brother party first, or ……”

Her question gurgled out like running water, but in her mind she couldn’t help but have another guess, “I wanted to help me inquire about the trade situation in the Yang City, but I inadvertently found out about the Bei Yi Feast?”

The thought surprised and blessed her at the same time.

Qi Zhi Iu gently raised his eyebrows, an unspeakable amusement flowing between the flashes of his eyes, “Thanks to you.”

Four simple words, but it was like a stone stirring up a thousand waves, causing Su Wanqing’s heart lake to ripple.

She stared at him in a daze, the lights of the banquet shed dappled light on his face, and at that moment, his smile seemed to have traveled through time and space, mirroring the gentlest afternoon in her memory.

An unknown emotion surged through her, her heart beating wildly in her chest, and the handbag in her hand was stiff from the unconscious tightening of her grip.

“Can’t say it’s thanks to me. Perhaps it was destiny that you should know all this.”

Her voice was low and soft, but with undeniable determination.

Just as Su Wanqing was immersed in her own thoughts, a thin conversational voice drifted by, “A man who favors his wife has a prosperous career.”

This was followed by a teasing, “And what if you don’t favor your wife?”

“Heh, then go beg along the streets!”

These careless words actually stirred up layers of waves in her heart.

She hadn’t believed in these trite arguments, but at the moment, there was a subtle wavering within her.

Favored wife? Qi Zhi Iu has never publicly acknowledged her, this “favorite wife” two words, does not seem to apply to this man ……

“Young Master Qi.”

A slightly fawning call interrupted her thoughts as a rich young man in fancy clothes recognized Qi Zhiyu and was walking quickly towards them.

Only when the silhouette came closer did Su Wanqing recognize that it was actually Guo Xu – the cousin of Qi Jiajia and Qi Jiayi.

“Young Master Guo is also here, what a coincidence!”

Qi Zhi Iu’s voice was as indifferent as ever, and he lifted his glass and touched it lightly, politely but not at a distance.

Guo Xu’s gaze flicked around, then he asked, “Why didn’t Qi Jiayi come?”

In the Guo family’s logic, Qi Zhiyu appeared on the occasion, Qi Jiayi should also be eligible to participate, after all, mother Aunt Qin favored by the Qi family, this is his proud capital.

“We were introduced to it by a friend as a sort of tourist pickup.”

Su Wanqing intervened at the right time and easily resolved the delicate awkwardness, her words carrying just the right sense of proportion.

“Mr. Su is here too.”

Guo Xu pretended to be surprised, his posture slightly arrogant: “A few days ago, my sister even mentioned you.”

There was a hint of braggadocio and condescension hidden in his tone.

“Really, what was said?”

Su Wanqing gently raised her eyebrows, and there was a faint inquiry in her words.

“She said …… Mr. Su was particularly competent.”

Guo Xu’s eyes darted back and forth between her and Qi Zhiyu, that gaze deep and complex in meaning.

“Kieran complimented me on that too.”

Su Wanqing replied in a non-condescending manner, then her words changed, “But then again, Second Young Master Guo, you are still in contact with Miss Guo, does the rest of the Guo family know about this?”

At the mention of it, her tone took on a bit more sharpness.

Aunt Qin’s past with the Guo family is almost a scar that the Guo family does not want to talk about, and Guo Xu’s ability to keep in touch with Qi Jiayi and Qi Jiajia is nothing more than the result of mutual exploitation and entangled interests.

Facing Su Wanqing’s questioning, Guo Xu sneered, “Hmph, so what if I know, so what if I don’t? How could the grudges of the elders involve us juniors?”
