Only then did he understand why a young girl yearned for a home so much, a family to accompany her.
Hearing his words, Qiao Yi immediately revealed a smile, and nodded: "Alright, you have rested well, and we will leave."
They came very quietly, and when they left, they left very quietly. Without waking up the sleeping Uncle Qiao, he left.
When they returned to River City's home, it was still early. The two went to the supermarket again and bought some daily necessities and ingredients.
At night, Lu Jingyun did not care about Ruan Xiaoxiao's existence, and "cared" for his own darling Yi. Ruan Xiaoxiao was extremely dissatisfied with this couple, but he did not dare to disturb them.
As long as she thought of Lu Jingyun's stern gaze, her anger was immediately extinguished.
Ruan Xiaoxiao finally had time to drag Qiao Yi out for a stroll when he worked overtime.
She came to River City to look for Qiao Yi. In the past, before Qiao Yi got married, as long as she came, she would put all of them first.
However, Ruan Xiaoxiao realized that she had been completely pushed down by Lu Jingyun.
Lu Jingyun, this man had a strong possessive nature, and he was against her.
Fortunately, she finally caught a night, so she grabbed Qiao Yi and pulled him out to play with her.
"Don't look at the time. If you don't accompany me tonight, I won't let you go back."
Ruan Xiaoxiao looked at Qiao Yi who looked at the time from time to time, and directly revealed his thoughts in a very dissatisfied manner.
Qiao Yi said helplessly, "Jingyun will be home soon after 10 o'clock. Let's not stay out too late either."
"What are you afraid of? It's not like I'm going to sell you out." Besides, if we don't warm his bed tonight, will he suffocate to death? "
Qiao Yi's face turned red from Ruan Xiaoxiao's words, he glared at him.
"Alright, let's go get a drink later. You can drink it with me. We can still warm your husband's bed when we get back."
"You're a girl, can you not speak like this ..."
Qiao Yi could not help but scold lightly.
"I've always been like this, you're too shy. You've been married for so long anyway, what's there to be shy about?"
"I —"
Qiao Yi was at a loss for words, her face red, but she did not know how to reply.
She was blushing, she just felt embarrassed, because whenever she thought of the night between Lu Jingyun and her, she would feel embarrassed about the most intimate and presumptuous fight between the two of them.
"Alright, let's go to the bar."
The two of them paid the bill and left the restaurant, heading straight for the bar.
"In front of the Flowing Light Sect, Qiao Yi was frowning as she found it extremely difficult to enter. She had never entered a bar before. And this was the first time she had entered such a place.
"Xiao-Xiao, I heard that this is very expensive."
"I know you work hard at managing your family. Don't worry, I'll treat you."
Ruan Xiaoxiao didn't refuse as he pulled Qiao Yi in. Under Qiao Yi's awkward and nervous expression, the two people walked into the light.
Qiao Yi followed Ruan Xiaoxiao closely without taking a step away. She was indeed not used to this kind of bustling place.
"What do you want to drink?" The two of them walked to the counter and sat down. Ruan Xiaoxiao had just asked Qiao Yi, but immediately gave her a order, "Forget it, can you give her a glass of fruit juice? "I'll have the beer."
The bartender looked at Qiao Yi, and did not reject this alternative "juice" request.
They were all guests, so they could satisfy whatever guests wanted.
Seeing the juice in front of her, Qiao Yi could feel the strange smiles from the surrounding people, but she was still a little nervous. She tried her best to ignore the atmosphere here, which made her nervous.
"Eh — that man looks familiar?"
Ruan Xiaoxiao turned and looked around. He then saw the back of a man who was just about to leave.
Qiao Yi also looked over, but that figure also quickly disappeared.
"It does look a little familiar." Why did she think her back looked like her husband's?
That familiar back figure didn't come back, Qiao Yi shook his head and thought that it was definitely not Lu Jingyun, he was still working overtime, it was impossible to see him here.
Ruan Xiaoxiao did not care too as there were many similar people.
She didn't take this matter to heart. Soon, a man came to strike up a conversation, distracting her.
As for Qiao Yi, he was drinking the juice obediently and sitting obediently. He was a little surprised to see Ruan Xiaoxiao teasing the man like this.
The phone in her pocket suddenly rang. If she had not turned on the vibrations, she would not have been able to hear it in this noisy place.
She quickly picked up the phone and covered her other ear with one hand, listening to Lu Jingyun's voice from the other side of the phone.
"Wife, you're not at home? What's so loud? "
Lu Jingyun did not wait for Qiao Yi to speak when he heard her ruckus. That sound, however, made him quickly react to what kind of place that ruckus was.
"Ah — Xiao-Xiao and I are —"
Qiao Yi immediately felt very guilty, his voice was completely lacking in confidence, "Have you finished your shift? "Home?"
"I just left the company. Where are you? I'll pick you up."
"I — am in the flowing light."
She really did not dare to lie. Even though she could not see his expression nor had she ever seen Lu Jingyun's viciousness towards her, she could instinctively hear the power in his voice that caused her heart to tremble with fear.
"Du, du, du, du ..."
As the phone call ended, Qiao Yi's body shivered.
