Three years after our breakup, my ex-boyfriend dragged me to get our marriage certificate.

Lin Qingyi sneered inwardly.

Of course, she could see through Jiang Wenxi's little scheme.

Asking her to teach him was a pretense; her real intention was to show off.

She calmly typed back, "Okay."

Jiang Wenxi replied with a polite emoji, "I'm coming to find you now."

Lin Qingyi saw this message after she came out of the restroom.

She was just about to send Jiang Wenxi her address when the other party knocked on the door.

Jiang Wenxi, carrying the packaged food, smiled and shook it. "Ah Huai brought me here. We were originally going to eat at this restaurant."

I was just about to come see you, so I packed it up and brought it over; it saves time that way.

"Okay." Lin Qingyi sent a text message to Qiao Suining, telling her not to come out from across the street for the time being, so as not to be caught in the act.

She glanced in the direction of the elevator. "Is Ji Yuhuai coming too?"

"He's not coming." Jiang Wenxi smiled awkwardly. "He suddenly lost his appetite."

Lin Qingyi turned and walked inside. "You've lost your appetite just seeing me, haven't you?"

Jiang Wenxi didn't respond, which was taken as tacit agreement.

She arranged the food. "You don't look well. Are you having menstrual cramps?"

"Yes." Lin Qingyi nodded. "I'm also going to Mrs. Jiang's birthday party."

"That's great." Jiang Wenxi handed Lin Qingyi a bowl and chopsticks in a flattering manner. "Qingyi-jie, could you stay with me?"

"The training fee does not include my presence at the banquet."

Lin Qingyi said calmly.

"I can pay more," Jiang Wenxi said, picking up her phone.

She was probably asking Ji Yuhuai for money.

"Have you been in contact with Qingyao recently?"

Lin Qingyi raised her eyelids and looked at her with a half-smile.

Jiang Wenxi paused in her typing, "No."

"I don't want Qingyao to hear about my affairs from other people."

Lin Qingyi's voice was calm, but Jiang Wenxi sensed a threat in it.

"You should know that I'm willing to help you and pay attention to you."

It's not that I'm afraid of anything, and it's certainly not that I'm afraid of Ji Yuhuai.

Lin Qingyi sneered, "It's just because of the money."

"Of course." Jiang Wenxi hurriedly picked up the food. "I'll be more careful in the future."

Back then, the Lin family sponsored Jiang Wenxi. When she came to Beicheng to study high school, she tutored Lin Qingyao, who was in his third year of junior high school.

To be precise, Jiang Wenxi is more familiar with Lin Qingyao than with her.

Perhaps their connection has never been broken.

Moreover, it was probably Ji Yuhuai who revealed the matter of the Pei family preparing a betrothal gift for her to Jiang Wenxi.

That's why Lin Qingyao was able to get firsthand information.

"But Qingyi," Jiang Wenxi bit her lower lip before cautiously speaking, "since the Pei family has made it public, they must really want to marry you."

"So?" Lin Qingyi raised an eyebrow.

"Pei Heng is the only son in his family, and the Pei family is no less powerful than the Ji family." Jiang Wenxi said bluntly, her face hardening. "After what you did back then... if their family really wants to marry you, I think you should seize the opportunity."

Lin Qingyi couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Jiang Wenxi's abacus beads practically flew into her face...

Send her to Pei Heng, and Jiang Wenxi will be at ease.

"If you calculate it this way, Uncle Ji should give me a larger dowry."

Lin Qingyi pretended to consider it seriously for a moment, "I think marrying Ji Yuhuai would be a better deal."

Jiang Wenxi's face immediately turned pale. She shoveled food into her mouth and said, "Stop joking. You don't like A-Huai anymore."

"That's true." Lin Qingyi decided not to tease her anymore. "Since you don't like either of them, why not marry someone you don't dislike?"

"Really?" Jiang Wenxi raised her head, her face full of hope. "Are you really willing to marry Pei Heng?"

"All you need to know is that I won't steal your Ji Yuhuai, that's all."

Lin Qingyi put down the plate. "Let me tell you about the preferences and sore spots of each of the ladies."

All afternoon, Jiang Wenxi listened attentively to Lin Qingyi's words, her hands supporting her chin.

Jiang Wenxi was incredibly obsequious, offering water and snacks.

However, her scheming is only on the surface, and communicating with her is not tiring.

She thought that Ji Yuhuai probably liked Jiang Wenxi for that reason too.

Unfortunately, after experiencing these changes, she had long since learned to keep her emotions hidden.

Ji Yuhuai was waiting for her downstairs. After she answered the phone, her cheeks flushed slightly.

"Qingyi, let's stop here for today."

She got up and took the trash with her. "Ah Huai is going to take me to choose a dress for that day. I'll pick one out for you, so you don't need to prepare anything."

"You two shouldn't be so stingy. If I wore a dress that cost at least 30,000 to 50,000 yuan, people would laugh at me."

Lin Qingyi reminded her.

Jiang Wenxi nodded. "I'll remember. I'll come find you this weekend afternoon with the dress."

Jiang Wenxi jogged into the elevator. Just as she left, Qiao Suining returned from next door.

"Ningning, young people need to learn to abstain from sex."

Lin Qingyi noticed the hickeys on her neck and reminded her.

Qiao Suining rubbed her neck and smiled sheepishly, "Qingyi, I like him a lot, a physical liking."

"So, you took the initiative?" Lin Qingyi hesitated for a moment. "I didn't realize you were so playful!"

"I don't know why, but whenever I'm with him, I always like to stick close to him."

Qiao Suining had never liked a man this much before.

It's beyond just liking; it's downright obsession.

"He Zhixu isn't stupid. If you're not careful, he'll definitely become suspicious if you stay together at night."

Lin Qingyi lowered her eyes thoughtfully. "Don't let me see your boyfriend. If I don't, we'll never know each other."

That way, I can act more naturally in front of He Zhixu.

Qiao Suining massaged her back, trying to please her, "Qingyi, how's the investigation with He Zhixu going?"

Lin Qingyi sighed, "He just arrived in Beicheng, he probably hasn't had time to see his mistress yet."

"That's true." Qiao Suining nodded.

She turned and went to her room, grabbed her backpack, and walked out.

"I always keep some kind of powder in my bag that makes me feel weak all over."

Qiao Suining was fearless, declaring, "If He Zhixu dares to come near me, I'll drug him!"

"Okay." Lin Qingyi suddenly thought of Wu Dalang.

When people are in a high position, they can indeed do some irrational things.

Isn't Qiao Suining a perfect example?

"Are you leaving?" Lin Qingyi also stood up. "I'll go downstairs with you for a walk."

She didn't believe Jiang Wenxi would prepare a dress for her.

At Mrs. Jiang's birthday banquet, no matter what, she had to be the most dazzling one.

She plans to pick out a dress for herself.

If Qiao Suining knew, she would definitely send me a few sets.

She didn't want to take advantage of Qiao Suining anymore, otherwise she would feel even more indebted to her.

Jiang Wenxi tried on a champagne-colored dress and was very satisfied, so she immediately asked the shop assistant to pack it up.

"Won't you take another look?"

Ji Yuhuai got up to pay, casually saying, "I thought you'd pick out a dress for Lin Qingyi when you asked her to become your apprentice."
