Tang Beibei felt that the atmosphere was a little strange, so she brought out a fruit plate to ease the atmosphere and let them chat while eating.

Suddenly, Ruan Qi sniffed and asked, “Beibei, what did you buy this time?”

“I saw that the durians in the supermarket were on sale, so I bought one. Do you want to eat it?”

“Yes!”

Tang Beibei immediately took out the durian and ran to the kitchen to get a knife. When she returned to the living room, she raised her arm and wanted to open the durian with the knife.

“Hey, wait!”

Ji Er stopped her. “We don’t open durians like this. Haven’t you eaten durians before?”

Tang Beibei shook her head in a daze.

Durian was so expensive. If her husband hadn’t asked her to try it, she wouldn’t have bought it.

“Let me do it.”

Ji Er took the durian over. She took out a small dagger from her waist and opened a small hole. She then forcefully opened the durian.

Instantly, an indescribable aura floated out.

Ruan Qi and Tang Beibei were stunned.

“Shuangshuang, you’re amazing!”

The two girls applauded in admiration.

Ji Er put the dagger back on her waist and pushed the durian in front of them with a smile.

Ruan Qi was about to drool, so she picked one up and took a bite.

“Wow, this is so delicious!”

“Song Zhou, Mr. Song!”

When Song Zhou heard the call, he ran out in the kitchen apron.

“What’s wrong?”

“This is delicious. Try it.”

Song Zhou frowned. “The taste is very strong. I won’t eat it.”

Ruan Qi took another bite. “But it’s delicious. Why don’t you try it?”

Ji Er frowned. “Ruan Qi, he doesn’t eat durian. Don’t make things difficult for him.”

Ruan Qi gave her a strange look, but she did not say anything. Instead, she looked at Song Zhou.

Song Zhou saw Ruan Qi raising her eyebrows at him. He chuckled helplessly. “Since Miss Ruan wants me to experience it, I’ll take a bite.”

He bit the durian in Ruan Qi’s hand. “Mmm, it tastes pretty good! Qiqi, if you like it, I’ll buy some next time.”

“Alright!”

Ruan Qi smiled at Ji Shuangshuang. “Shuangshuang, help yourself.”

Ji Er looked at Song Zhou in surprise. Song Zhou didn’t eat durians in the past.

She had persuaded him to eat some before, but he had avoided it, saying that he did not like the smell of durians.

However, he ate it because of Ruan Qi.

“Song Zhou, is it delicious?”

“Mmm, it tastes good. You should eat some too.”

Song Zhou smiled and swallowed the durian.” I’m going to help out in the kitchen. You guys continue.”

Tang Beibei took some durian upstairs to let Jiang Jingchen taste it.

Seeing Song Zhou leave, Ji Er retracted his gaze and looked down at the durian. She felt upset.

Only Ruan Qi and Ji Er were left in the living room.

“Do you like Song Zhou?” Ruan Qi asked.

“How did you know?” Ji Er was stunned.

“Eyes. When you like someone, your eyes can’t deceive people.”

Ji Er blinked. “Is it obvious?”

‘Yes, but Song Zhou probably doesn’t quite understand what you’re thinking, right?” Ruan Qi guessed.

Ji Er lowered her head. “You seem very pleased with yourself?”

“I’m not. I just feel sorry for you. I think you’re amazing!”

Ji Er sneered and did not reply.

“Are you here to test me?”

Ruan Qi asked cautiously.

“It’s not a test. I’m just here to see what kind of woman Song Zhou married. He talks about you all the time.”

Ruan Qi curled her lips. “I’m not that good. It’s just that I was the one who pursued Song Zhou first. He’s a little unromantic, especially when it comes to relationships. He’s almost 30 years old, but he’s especially pure.

If I didn’t take the initiative, he wouldn’t hook up with me given his straight mind.”

Ji Er looked at her in surprise. After a long while, she asked, “Why do you like Song Zhou?”

“Why do I like him? It’s just a feeling. He’s very good at taking care of people, and it’s quite comfortable to get along with him.”

Ruan Qi straightened her back and smiled. “You must be disappointed seeing me, right?”

“I’m not a peerless beauty, nor am I a talented woman. There’s nothing special about me. I’m also undisciplined and like to act coquettishly in front of Song Zhou. I don’t have any resources to help Song Zhou either. I can be considered clear.”

Ji Er stared at her and saw her smile lazily. She suddenly felt a little envious of her.

“None of this is important.”

She even envied Ruan Qi.

She dared to pursue Song Zhou, but she did not dare to talk about her feelings with him.

She was afraid that if he didn’t like her, he would distance himself from her. At that time, they wouldn’t even be friends.

“However, I’m still unwilling to accept what I can’t get.”

Ruan Qi smiled and nodded. “If you have a crush on someone and you see him marry another woman and have a child, you’ll feel unhappy.”

“So, I’m very glad that I took a step forward and didn’t turn around and leave.”

Ji Er looked at her in silence. The living room was suddenly so quiet that it made people feel a little restless.

Ruan Qi got up and went to the kitchen to help.

In the kitchen, Song Zhou saw her enter and quickly pushed her out.

“There’s smoke in the kitchen. You’ll feel uncomfortable smelling it.”

Ruan Qi felt awkward sitting with Ji Shuangshuang in the living room.

“Do you know Shuangshuang’s feelings for you?” she asked.

“What thoughts? Don’t think too much. We’re just colleagues. Xiao Er is also an orphan. I treat her like a sister.”

Ruan Qi clicked her tongue. No wonder the two of them weren’t together. It turned out that Song Zhou didn’t have that intention at all.

She didn’t want to say anything more. She hugged him coquettishly and said that she wanted to be with him.

Song Zhou chuckled. He wanted to be with her too.

“If you don’t vomit, you can be wherever you want.”

Ji Er walked out of the kitchen and saw the two of them hugging each other like Siamese twins. They discussed everything they wanted to do, and Song Zhou was also very patient with Ruan Qi.

She was envious.

But she couldn’t hate him.

Ruan Qi had already said that relationships had to be fought for by oneself. She had the guts to fight for it, but what about her?

She had always been timid and did not dare to make it clear.

Ji Er was bored. Besides, it was awkward for her to be alone seeing the two of them together.

She called Ji Yi over to watch them showing love in public with her.

When Ji Yi arrived at the villa, he saw the sticky couple and mocked Ji Er with his eyes.

She must have been agitated.

They were so loving that they couldn’t be torn apart.

Ji Er didn’t feel too good, so she left after eating the cake.

Ji Yi wanted to persuade her, but Ji Er had already bought a plane ticket and left the country.

Ji Yi was depressed. She didn’t even ask for leave. Was she using him as a decoration?

Ruan Qi’s little heart was thumping wildly after she defeated a love rival. She hugged Song Zhou tightly, afraid that he would be snatched away.

“What’s wrong, Miss Ruan?” Song Zhou asked, feeling her nervousness.

“Mr. Song, will you always love me and not other women?”

Song Zhou chuckled. “We’ve already gotten our marriage certificate. If I don’t love you, who else can I love? You’re letting your imagination run wild again.”

“Yes. When I’m pregnant, I’m always afraid that the father of the child will suddenly fall for another woman and abandon us.”

Song Zhou lectured her with a straight face. “You should think about what to eat.”

Ruan Qi continued to hug him tightly. She could not help but ask, “Song Zhou, why do you like me?”

“I like how silly and unreasonable you are.”

Ruan Qi knew that he was mocking her and frowned gloomily.

Song Zhou stopped teasing her. He thought about it and said seriously.

“It should be when you kissed me and called my name.”

Only then did Ruan Qi’s lips curl up. She raised her head to kiss him and called out, “Song Zhou.”

“Yes, I’m here.”

Ruan Qi said, “We made a promise.. I’m the only one in your life!”
