"Much more comfortable..." Wen Yao smoothed the hem of her skirt after thoroughly tidying up Wen Jiu's room, then sat beside Wen Jiu and said, "This pigsty finally looks like someone lives here."
"Your潔癖 is a sickness, it needs to be cured," Wen Jiu said speechlessly. "Are you like this with your employers too?"
"My employers? The dogs at my employer's house are cleaner than where you live!" Wen Yao snorted coldly. "The only people who can hire me, Wen Yao, are royalty or wealthy businessmen. Who would be so poor as to sleep in a pigsty?"
After a pause, Wen Yao added, "Gu Yaoyang, that oddball, is an exception."
Upon hearing Wen Yao mention Gu Yaoyang, Xia Qing Tian slightly raised her eyes.
"That guy is a CEO of a wealthy family, and the apartment he lives in doesn't even have a proper guest room. I can't even straighten my legs when I sleep on the sofa every night!" Wen Yao protested.
Hearing Wen Yao's words, Xia Qing Tian lowered her gaze and curved her lips again.
"Never mind, I won't talk about employer matters with you. I still have professional ethics, so I'll just silently dislike them in my heart," Wen Yao said with a hint of helplessness, resting her face on one hand.
"The room across from his is currently empty," Xia Qing Tian said, looking at Wen Yao. "If the sofa is too cramped and uncomfortable to sleep on, you can sleep in that room. I'll give you the key later."
"!" Wen Yao blinked in surprise at Xia Qing Tian's words, then belatedly said, "You're the one who hung up Gu Yaoyang's call!"
Wen Jiu chuckled dryly and didn't respond.
"Oh~" Wen Yao suddenly understood. No wonder Gu Yaoyang had been in such a terrifyingly low mood all day and came to the Xia family so abruptly. And after seeing Xia Qing Tian, that low mood completely vanished...
So this was the main wife!
"Hmm, hmm, hmm?" Wen Jiu asked with a smile, cupping her face with both hands. "What did I miss?"
"Nothing much," Xia Qing Tian said with a smile. "I just didn't expect Gu Yaoyang to be so unchivalrous."
"Chivalrous? Heh heh~" Wen Yao burst into exaggerated laughter upon hearing this. "Gu Yaoyang is completely incompatible with those words! Let me tell you, he was my classmate when I was in school. That guy wastes his good looks. He's indifferent to everyone. Even so, girls from other classes would sneak in to look at him after every class. When they found out he was engaged, I don't know how many girls cried themselves swollen-eyed.
Who would have thought that later, a big fire happened, his fiancée ran off with someone else, and he was in a coma for three months. After waking up, he became even colder and scarier."
Speaking of which, Wen Yao lowered her voice and said softly, "Speaking of which, I heard the matriarch of the Yu family still hasn't woken up. Compared to that, he's considered quite lucky."
"The Yu family matriarch was injured so severely?" Xia Qing Tian had also heard about this, but her focus had always been on Gu Yaoyang. She had never heard much about the Yu family matriarch.
"Just ask your aunt, and you'll know?" Wen Jiu tapped the edge of the table with her fingertip and smiled. "Your aunt single-handedly carried the Yu family matriarch out of the fire."
Hearing Wen Jiu's words, Xia Qing Tian's gaze shifted slightly. She felt that the Yu family matriarch's coma might be vaguely related to Yu Zixuan.
But she dared not think too deeply.
Some things, when touched even slightly, would, like a butterfly flapping its wings, trigger a tsunami that no one could stop.
Yue Cheng Feng's wedding was fast approaching. Xia Qing Tian was unsure whether knowing these things at this time was right or wrong, good or bad.
In the evening, Wen Yao and Gu Yaoyang were invited by Xia Hong Lang to stay for dinner at the Xia family. After dinner, Xia Qing Tian personally saw them off.
"I'll come to see you again when I have a chance~" Wen Yao's tone became much more casual after getting acquainted with Xia Qing Tian, and she even said somewhat flippantly, "Just the two of us then~"
"Sure," Xia Qing Tian replied with a light smile.
"Wen Yao, get in the car and wait for me," Gu Yaoyang said, seeing Wen Yao looking like she would chat with Xia Qing Tian until the end of time, so he could only dismiss her first.
This time, Wen Yao was much more cooperative. She waved goodbye to Xia Qing Tian, gave Wen Jiu by the window on the second floor a middle finger, and then got into the car, waiting obediently for Gu Yaoyang.
"Ahem." Coughing lightly, Gu Yaoyang looked at Xia Qing Tian and said, "You've misunderstood about Wen Yao. Actually, I..."
"Wen Yao is a member of the Wen family after all. Mr. Gu, please don't go too far," Xia Qing Tian interrupted Gu Yaoyang, deliberately putting on a stern face. "Mr. Gu, travel safely and get some rest early."
After saying this, she turned away without giving Gu Yaoyang a chance to explain further. Just as she was about to take a step forward, a hot hand firmly gripped Xia Qing Tian's arm.
"I have no relationship with her. You misunderstood," Gu Yaoyang said to Xia Qing Tian, determined to clarify this matter today.
"Mr. Gu doesn't need to explain to me," Xia Qing Tian met Gu Yaoyang's gaze and said. "If Mr. Gu wants to explain, why don't you explain why you've been avoiding me all this time?"
"I..." Gu Yaoyang choked. He hadn't even figured this out himself!
That strange attraction, how could he know!
Seeing Gu Yaoyang looking unable to explain, Xia Qing Tian felt a surge of inexplicable anger. She decisively pulled her arm out of Gu Yaoyang's grasp. "Goodnight."
Then, she strode back into the house, walking forward indignantly and muttering irritably, "Big idiot... doesn't know anything... dodging me, huh? If you have the guts, keep dodging... better dodge for a lifetime! Big idiot..."
With an empty hand, Gu Yaoyang also felt an emptiness in his heart.
One matter unresolved, and now another troublesome matter that couldn't be explained.
Alas...
Gu Yaoyang sighed and drove home.
When he arrived at his doorstep, Gu Yaoyang saw Wen Yao using her key to open the door opposite his and felt puzzled. "Wen Yao, how come you..."
"Qing Tian gave it to me. She said my long legs were too wronged sleeping on the sofa, so she gave me the key," Wen Yao explained, not forgetting to show off her good figure and long legs. "Ah, as expected, only girls will sympathize with girls~ I finally don't have to sleep on the sofa tonight~"
After saying this, Wen Yao entered the house with a happy expression. Before closing the door, she looked at Gu Yaoyang and said, "Remember to call for help if you encounter danger. Don't lock the balcony door, so I can come and save you."
Gu Yaoyang looked at Wen Yao closing her door, his expression changing from confusion to helplessness, and his eyes suddenly brightened as if enlightened.
Yes, someone as smart as Xia Qing Tian probably guessed today that there was nothing between him and Wen Yao. It was he himself who was overly anxious.
However, the moment he thought about still owing Xia Qing Tian an explanation, the light in Gu Yaoyang's eyes slowly dimmed.
How could he explain to Xia Qing Tian something that he himself couldn't understand?
Alas...
