Married for a long time

Chapter 157 [Qiao Su] What should we do with her?

The living room has the warm lights on, making it warm and soft.

His kiss wasn't overbearing, it was thin and dense. When she was out of breath, he would always leave some space for her to breathe before kissing her again.

She tried to struggle, but the hands holding the back of her head and waist did not loosen at all. That kind of autocratic possessiveness was unique to Qiao Peiyu.

"Joe..."

She pushed gently with her hand, and just as she made a sound, Qiao Peiyu suddenly let go of her, and the hand holding the back of her head fell weakly on her waist, burying his face in her neck.

"Ah Li, my brother has a headache."

Su Li moved her sore lips, her cheeks were red, and her heart was beating faster.

Seeing that she didn't speak, he opened his mouth and bit her neck gently, "Don't chase me away, eh? Okay? I'm not an object that you can just give up if you want me to. I have a heart, and it will be sad, sad, and... pain."

He held her hand and brought it to his chest.

Su Li could clearly feel the beating of his heart. This almost confession made her sound like a cruel scumbag, while he seemed like a pitiful and aggrieved affectionate man.

She did not deny Qiao Peiyu's affection.

If she wasn't the adopted daughter of the Qiao family, didn't have such deep feelings for the Qiao family, and didn't have such a weak and worried character, she would definitely be with him without hesitation.

But now, it's different.

They are brothers and sisters in name, and now Qiao Peiyu has a marriage partner.

Basically, if he goes back to meet this time and the parents of both parties have no objections and the two of them don't object, the marriage can be settled.

Although the Ling family and the Qiao family were not close friends, they were both in S city and had some contact with each other.

Yu Qingyuan is still very satisfied with the eldest daughter of the Ling family. She is good in appearance, character, knowledge and family background.

I had previously praised Ling Sheng, the eldest daughter of the Ling family, in front of Su Li and Qiao Xiya.

Ling Sheng and Qiao Peiyu are the same type of people.

genius.

A genius who can skip a grade, be admitted to a famous foreign school under special circumstances, and can shine in his or her own field, making people remember him at a glance.

Perhaps it is a sympathy between geniuses.

No matter how unhappy Su Li was, she had to admit that the two of them were really suitable.

Moreover, the Ling family did not dislike or dislike Qiao Peiyu because of his poor health. Instead, they agreed to the meeting, and even Ling Sheng herself agreed.

Come to think of it, the biggest stumbling block to this marriage is Qiao Peiyu himself.

Su Li was not indifferent, but her heart was trembling violently because of his words, causing ripples.

The most basic thing about liking someone is possessiveness.

She also has this kind of possessiveness towards Qiao Peiyu, but she feels that her identity is embarrassing. Even though Qiao Peiyu admits her and has told him again and again that he is willing to face it with her, she still feels confident. Not enough, I feel that the name is not justified.

"Do you want to go to the hospital?"

She could only suppress these complicated emotions temporarily and worry about his current situation.

The average winter temperature in City S is around 15 degrees, and since he lives there all year round, his body has long adapted to the climate and temperature there.

The humidity and cold here in Nandu are even colder than the dry and cold conditions in Jingjun. Especially the wind is really hard to withstand.

People like them with normal immunity couldn't bear it, let alone someone as weak as him.

I came to Nandu just to suffer.

Qiao Peiyu shook his head and looked at her with half-squinted eyes, "I want to lie down for a while."

"You go back to the hotel and lie down. It's not convenient for me."

Qiao Peiyu opened his eyes a little more and stared at her weakly without saying a word. Just such a look was enough to make her heart soften.

She bit her lip lightly, as if she was struggling, and stood up after a long while, "I don't have any extra quilts here. I only have one blanket. It might get cold when you sleep under it at night. You..."

"Shall I sleep on the sofa?" Qiao Peiyu interrupted her.

After Su Li was silent for more than ten seconds, "Then you go and lie down on the bed, and I'll sleep on the sofa. I'm going to take a shower."

She went back to her room to get a set of pajamas and went to the bathroom to take a shower.

Half an hour later, she walked out of the bathroom, wrapped in a mist of water, and the faint scent of jasmine spread to every corner of the room.

Qiao Peiyu was still sitting in his original position, leaning his head on the back of the chair.

"Why are you still sleeping here?" There are no clothes to cover you.

"Qiao Peiyu..."

"Ah."

He responded softly and slowly opened his eyes.

Su Li has a good temper and a soft temper. He rarely gets angry because of something. "Didn't I ask you to go to the room and lie down? The air conditioner inside has been turned on. Don't sit here, you will really catch a cold." "

"My legs are a bit weak."

"I'll help you." Su Li stretched out her hand to help him up and slowly moved towards the room.

In fact, she was quite baffled. Why did it end up in this situation?
Did he live here?
After finally helping him to the bed, Su Li breathed a sigh of relief, "Qiao Peiyu, if you feel uncomfortable in any way, you must tell me so that we can go to the hospital in time."

Unlike in City S, there are family doctors here at all times.

She felt that she would have to continue to persuade him to return to S City tomorrow. If he did anything in Nandu, then she would really become the sinner of the Qiao family.

"Qiao Peiyu, did you hear what I said?"

Su Li bent down slightly and asked softly.

"You want to sleep on the sofa?"

She was stunned, her heart tightened slightly, but she nodded.

"Is not It Cold?"

"Fortunately."

"This bed is quite big." He reached out to hug her. "What if I don't feel comfortable or if I need something, but I don't answer your call? If you sleep next to me, if something happens to me, you can still find out in time, okay? ?"

Routines, routines, all his routines.

Just don't be too obvious.

Su Li knew it all in her heart, but she felt that what he said was somewhat reasonable, and couldn't find the words to refute it. She pursed her lips a few times, hesitating whether to expose him directly, and even suppressed the blush in her face. .

After about a minute of silence, Qiao Peiyu didn't wait any longer, grabbed her arm and fell on the bed.

Su Li's eyes widened in horror. He was not too tight, but not too loose either. As long as he got closer, he could smell the faint woody fragrance mixed with the fragrance of medicine.

When she was stunned, Qiao Peiyu had already moved her inside and covered her with a quilt.

"you……"

As soon as a musical note escaped from his lips, the red earlobe was gently held in his mouth.

Su Li shuddered all over, her heart and liver trembled, and she struggled subconsciously as his soft voice rang in her ears.

"not tired?"

"I...you...didn't you say that you can't use your strength?" She bit her lip lightly, and her voice became muffled in anger.

The strength to hold her now is quite strong.

The phrase 'Aren't you sleepy?' seems to have a bit of a threat.

"I can't use my legs."

Su Li: "..." Editor, please continue editing.

She silently cursed in her heart, suppressing the throbbing in her heart, and the melancholy and rejection caused by guilt surged up.

"Let me go. I really want to go to bed. I have to go to work tomorrow. If you don't feel well, go to bed early."

After more than ten seconds of silence in the room, Su Li clearly felt the hand on her waist loosen, and she moved to the side to distance herself from him.

Qiao Peiyu didn't follow her, he just looked at her thin back quietly, and calmly raised his hand to press his eyebrows.

What should he do with her?

In his eyes, this problem is actually easy to solve. As long as he explains it to his parents, Qiao Yixing and the others may find it difficult to accept it for a while. Considering the temperament of Qiao Yixing and Yu Qingyuan, they will not object.

But her solution was to push him away and stay away from him.

He also understood her concerns and concerns.

The importance of the Qiao family in her heart was always higher than anything else, including him.

She couldn't abandon the Qiao family, whose kindness was more important than Mount Tai, for anyone.

Thinking of this, Qiao Peiyu's lips curved into a bitter smile. His warm and clear eyes were filled with helplessness and loneliness, showing indescribable pain.

Neither of them spoke, and the only sound left in the quiet room was each other's gentle breathing.

Su Li was very sleepy, but very conscious. She didn't dare to turn over for fear of waking him up or disturbing him.

When I woke up to the alarm clock the next day, the dark circles under my eyes were even more obvious.

Qiao Peiyu was no longer in the room.

She was wondering if he had left, but as soon as she opened the door, she saw him coming out of the bathroom.

"You...why haven't you left yet?"

Qiao Peiyu looked at the dark green eyes under her eyes, pursed his lower lip, and said warmly, "Go and wash up."

Su Li said 'huh' and walked to the bathroom to wash up.

After she washed up and changed her clothes, she came out. These exquisite breakfast items were placed on the dining table. You could tell that they were takeaways.

"The food in this morning tea shop is pretty good. When I went there a few days ago, I thought you would like it."

Su Li ate a shrimp dumpling, and the corners of her lips curved slightly, "It's delicious."

"You have to work overtime today too?"

Su Li paused, nodded slightly, and looked up at him again, "You... don't come to pick me up. If you're done with business, just..." Go back to City S.

The moment I met his eyes, I suddenly couldn't say the last sentence.

He could only hurriedly look away, finished the last Xiao Long Bao in the bowl, then stood up and said, "I'm going to... go to work."

"I send you."

"No, I can..."

"I just need to go back to the hotel to take a shower and change clothes. I have an appointment at 09:30 in the morning."

"Oh……"

She drew out her voice with reluctance.

Of course, while Qiao Peiyu felt sad, he could only pretend not to hear it.

After simply packing up the things on the table, the two of them went out together.

When the car was at the intersection nearest to the company, Su Li shouted to get out of the car. Qiao Peiyu frowned, "Afraid of being seen by your colleagues?"

Su Li nodded, "I'll just go over there myself. You yourself... pay more attention to your body and don't be too tired."

After that, he quickly opened the car door and ran away.

Running downstairs of the company, Su Li met Ruan Fu and another female colleague.

"Su Li, why are you running so fast? Is there someone chasing you from behind?" The female colleague was surprised to see her suddenly acting so recklessly. This was the first time she had seen her, and she even looked behind her.

It was the rush hour for work, and there were a lot of pedestrians and vehicles on the road, but I couldn’t tell why.

Su Li was stunned, looking a little embarrassed, and gave a random reason, "I'm afraid I'll be late."

"There's still time, there are still seven or eight minutes left." Ruan Fu said with a smile.

The three of them walked in side by side, and the female colleague said, "Su Li, it's a pity that you didn't come to the dinner party last night. The team leader was really ripped off by us yesterday. After drinking, he hugged the bottle and said that we are not human beings."

Ruan Fu also echoed, "Didn't Lao Wu take a video and post it to the group yesterday?"

"I... went to bed early last night, took a shower and went to bed when I got home, so I didn't look at my phone." Su Li continued to talk nonsense.

"Then why are the dark circles under your eyes so heavy?" asked a female colleague.

It takes ten or eight lies to tell a lie. Su Li was still a little panicked. She didn't dare to look at them and stared at the jumping numbers in the elevator. "I had a bad nightmare at around three o'clock last night. It affects sleep.”

"Ah, are you okay? What kind of nightmare?"

Su Li shook his head, "I don't really remember. Anyway, I woke up due to a fright."

Ruan Fu patted her shoulder lightly, "I didn't sleep well last night, so I'm going to order a cup of coffee later. What do you want to drink?"

The female colleague said politely, "American style, no sugar added."

"What about you, Su Li?"

"I'm not much of a coffee drinker, thank you."

"It's okay, milk tea is also available." Ruan Fu took her mobile phone and started ordering, "Can jasmine coconut be used?"

Su Li opened her mouth to refuse, but she nodded and said, "Well, thank you."

"You're welcome."

The elevator arrived at the floor where their company was located. There were two colleagues standing at the door swiping their cards, who happened to be from their department.

Several people said hello, and female colleague B suddenly remembered and asked, "Su Li, was your brother the person who came to pick you up last night?"

When the others heard this, their eyes fell on her, with a bit of gossipy curiosity.

When Su Li mentioned this, her heart tightened inexplicably, and she didn't say anything. She just nodded her head in agreement.

"I'll go, that's awesome. Your brother drives a Maybach, so isn't your family very rich?" the female colleague sighed in surprise.

"Let me just say, the Gucci you carried on your back a few days ago doesn't look like an A-grade product to me."

"Yes, and the Blancpain limited watch I wore last week, Su Li, you are too low-key, you are the daughter of an invisible rich family."

"However, if your family is so rich, why would you come to work in a small company like ours? Come and experience life?"

Suddenly, there was a lot of chatter around, and Su Li didn't know how to deal with it or how to explain it.

She actually doesn't know much about luxury goods and doesn't have much yearning for them.

It's just that the Qiao family's material standard of living is there. As the adopted daughter of the Qiao family, she naturally benefits from it.

But she never takes the initiative to buy these things. What she has now was given to her by Yu Qingyuan and Qiao Xiya.

Especially Qiao Xiya, as long as she likes something, she will buy an item of equal price or same price and give it to her.

Just because Qiao's family was so kind to her, she couldn't bear to hurt them, let alone let them down.

She is not a brave and courageous person, so she can only carefully guard the warmth and affection that are hard-won for her.

Suddenly, Ruan Fu patted her shoulder lightly and reminded, "It's time to go to work, so get ready first. We have a meeting in 15 minutes."
