C34 Late Intentions
He nodded. "A belated birthday present, I guess!"
Feeling touched, overturning rivers and seas surged through Chu Qingyan's heart. Her hand holding the fluffy box was trembling a little, and with Lee Jingyu's help, she opened the box.
She wiped the fog from her eyes and a heart-shaped pink diamond pendant the size of a pigeon's egg appeared in her vision.
The diamonds were crystal clear, even in the dim light.
Although she liked it, but expensive gifts would only make her owe Lee Jingyu more. Chu Qingyan quickly waved her hand and said, "I can't accept such a precious gift."
"It's not that valuable, it's not a diamond. It's the Schwarzenegger Crystal." Lee Jingyu helped her put the necklace on, and the pink diamond pendant was even colder than ice on her skin.
Chu Qingyan stared blankly at the pink diamond pendant in the middle of her chest. She knew she should reject, but she couldn't say anything.
"I just called you. The call connected, but no one spoke. After I hung up, I saw you." Chu Qingyan looked up in surprise. Lee Jingyu was looking at me thoughtfully. "Did you come out to bring your phone?"
"I didn't bring it..."
"Did your husband take it?" He subconsciously touched the tip of his nose.
Chu Qingyan asked nervously, "Did you say anything?"
"I saw that the call was connected, so I asked if it was connected." He looked at me innocently. "No one answered and then it stopped."
Chu Qingyan ran home with a nervous heart. She lowered her head and rushed out of the elevator, nearly bumped into someone who was walking towards her.
"I'm sorry!" The man stepped aside, angrily turned his head, and loudly cursed, "I'm not f * cking coming back, damn it, who am I showing this stupid face to? Don't think I can't find a woman, I'm just playing with a seventeen or eighteen year old girl."
The vulgar voice attracted Chu Qingyan's attention. She raised her head and saw that it was the couple living next door.
As a neighbor, Chu Qingyan had long since gotten used to their three days of small and five days of large quarrels.
The man stood in front of the elevator with a travel bag in hand as he scolded.
The woman, with a disheveled face, was wearing a pajamas and barefooted. She stood in front of their house with one hand on her waist and the other pointing at the man as she scolded him, "If you have the ability, then go and play, you dead man. Who the hell cares about you?
Chu Qingyan opened her own door gloomily amidst the curses of the two.
She tried to think of how to explain it to Kang Wenyuan, but she suddenly became nervous.
Chu Qingyan thought for a second that if he, Kang Wenyuan, could take a woman shopping, she could not go out to meet a friend, that she and Lee Jingyu were innocent, that there was no need to be guilty, that they should not be guilty at all.
She didn't do anything to let Kang Wenyuan down. It was him who had let her down. If he wanted to feel guilty, it should be him who felt guilty.
Slowly, Chu Qingyan calmed down, straightened her back and calmly walked into the room.
Kang Wenyuan's room door was slightly ajar, and the crisp sound of his tapping on the keyboard could be heard.
She had thought that he would come out to interrogate her when he heard she was back, but Chu Qingyan had overestimated her place in his heart.
He didn't care who she had just gone out to see, or whether the scar on her chest was a kiss or not.
Cold and quiet, that was Kang Wenyuan's usual style.
Chu Qingyan hesitated at the door of his room, then turned and went into the kitchen to look for the water he had brought back.
A full bucket was enough to wash one's hair and bathe in.
The cursing from the neighbors next door continued.
Chu Qingyan recalled that half a year ago, when the couple just moved in, they were newlyweds. Sometimes when they went out to meet up with them, they could always see a woman holding onto a man's arm.
Since about two months ago, quarrels have become commonplace.
All sorts of vulgar curses had worn away the feelings of the two of them. Even she, the bystander, could not stand it any longer. If this continued, sooner or later, they would get a divorce.
Divorce... Regardless of whether she thought of it, mentioned it, or heard these words, her scalp would go numb.
She didn't want a divorce, she was even afraid of one.
After showering and washing her hair, Chu Qingyan mustered up the courage to walk into Kang Wenyuan's room.
He was holding the pink diamond necklace that Lee Jingyu gave to Chu Qingyan and was staring at the computer. His serious expression had a certain charm to it.
Chu Qingyan jumped in fright. The necklace was hidden under her pillow. How could he …
