Seeing this, Cornelia once again showed off her hostess attitude, grabbed Li Guanqi's hand and dragged him towards the sofa.

At the same time, she said enthusiastically: "Sit down first, I'll pour you a cup of tea."

But she suddenly felt something scratching her palm. She turned around and looked down in confusion, and found that Li Guanqi had an extremely ugly ring on his right hand, and that ring was a discolored gold ring.

She wouldn't even accept this kind of ring, let alone wear it.

"ring?"

Cornelia immediately showed a disgusted expression, let go of Li Guanqi's hand, curled her lips, and muttered: "Look at the quality of this ring. Although this ring doesn't look like a famous brand, you usually don't take good care of it, right?"

However, as soon as she finished speaking, the air in the living room suddenly became quiet and the atmosphere became extremely strange.

Li Guanqi put his hands behind his back, stared at Cornelia with deep eyes, and said calmly: "It's enough that I like it."

"Okay, as long as you like it."

Cornelia shrugged her shoulders boredly, pushed Li Guanqi onto the sofa, and poured her some hot tea.

"Thank you."

Li Guanqi nodded politely, then picked up the teacup handed to him by Cornelia, gently touched the rim of the cup with his lips, and found that it was a little hot.

So he stood up and walked towards the kitchen.

"It's a little hot. They must have been busy in the kitchen for a long time. I'll go see if they need help. We'll have tea later."

Ji Qingyi sipped her tea silently, a trace of displeasure spreading from the bottom of her heart. She stole a glance at Li Guanqi's ring with the corner of her eye again, then looked away.

"You two have worked hard. Can I come and help?"

Li Guanqi walked into the kitchen and saw Gu Ruoxue and Liu Qingyue preparing dishes in an orderly manner. When they noticed her coming in, they stopped what they were doing and turned to look at her, but then Gu Ruoxue quickly looked away and continued with her work.

Li Guanqi reached out to grab the apron, but was suddenly blocked by Liu Qingyue.

"You just came back, you have to take a rest first. Besides, Su Cheng is back now. If no one is watching outside, that blonde beauty will cause trouble, okay?"

Liu Qingyue exerted a little force and moved Li Guanqi out of the door, while reminding Li Guanqi with a smile.

Indicating that she is needed more outside.

"I'll ask you to take care of the young lady and the golden retriever~"

After saying that, she closed the kitchen door.

"How......"

Faced with the situation of being rejected before he could even say anything, Li Guanqi had no choice but to go back to the living room, sit down, and pick up the teacup. Coincidentally, the tea was no longer so hot at this time.

She took a small taste.

“This tea…”

Li Guanqi nodded and praised: "Only the tea brewed by Senior Sister Ji can be so sweet and mellow."

Her compliment made Ji Qingyi shift her gaze slightly. She pursed her lips and lowered her eyelids to block the fleeting gleam in her pupils.

"You're overly praised."

Ji Qingyi replied expressionlessly.

"what?"

Cornelia did not notice the change in atmosphere. Instead, she was surprised that Li Guanqi could tell that the tea was brewed by Ji Qingyi. This made her smell it and taste it, then she shook her head and said, "Why can't I taste it?"

While the conversation was going on in the living room, the two women in the kitchen resumed their busy state. Gu Ruoxue took the kitchen knife and rhythmically cut the potatoes into shreds with skillful and orderly techniques.

Gu Ruoxue's flawless face and her impeccable operating skills are particularly pleasing to the eye.

Liu Qingyue looked at Gu Ruoxue and asked softly, "Just now, you also noticed it, what do you think~"

Gu Ruoxue replied indifferently: "I don't have any special feelings."

"Hehe, we are all smart people. It won't hurt to talk nicely. Aren't we all on the same front now?"

Faced with Gu Ruoxue's non-cooperation, Liu Qingyue pouted unhappily and continued the topic forcefully.

"In my opinion, she is just demonstrating. Look, she just stretched out her hand to emphasize the ring. Come to think of it, isn't that ring very similar to yours?"

Liu Qingyue looked at Gu Ruoxue while washing vegetables, her tone gentle, as if she was just chatting: "Now she has gained a lot of advantages, at least she can tie with you? Then the eldest lady will be in trouble."

However, Gu Ruoxue was still cutting vegetables. She said without raising her head, "She was able to get it because of her ability. It means her efforts have been rewarded. As a friend, she should be congratulated."

"What about you? You're really not in a hurry at all?"

Liu Qingyue continued to ask.

"urgent?"

Gu Ruoxue finished cutting the potatoes, raised her head and looked at Liu Qingyue calmly: "Why should I be in a hurry? I have shown everything I can, and I have done almost everything I can. If the tacit understanding, wishes, and ideas between the two of us are compatible enough, then no matter how many choices we have, we will eventually walk the same path side by side. If not, it means that we are not people on the same path after all."

"Is that what you think?"

Liu Qingyue seemed to be thinking about something. Perhaps she thought it would be better to end this topic once and for all, so Gu Ruoxue did not shut up.

"Besides, what I need is a comrade, a companion, a soulmate, not a master to serve. If I have to give up so much and compromise to that extent in order to gain a status, then why bother? All I want is to stay true to my original aspiration and keep moving forward."

“Haha…” Liu Qingyue smiled softly: “It seems that you have thought it through clearly. Do I have to fight alone now? No, this is not good.”

She rolled her eyes, turned to face Gu Ruoxue, put her hands together and begged, "Can you stay and help control the situation tonight?"

"I'm not prepared to stay the night."

Gu Ruoxue stared at Liu Qingyue's posture, frowned, and refused directly.

"In fact, even if you don't agree to me, Su Cheng will find a way to make you stay."

Chapter 466 Rhubarb

The small apartment, which had not been bustling for a long time, seemed unusually crowded and lively at this moment. In the kitchen, Gu Ruoxue and Liu Qingyue were busy with their respective duties with clear division of labor.

In the living room, Cornelia was sitting next to Li Guanqi, holding a sofa pillow, watching TV with great interest.

After all.

She still didn't dare to sit close to Ji Qingyi.

Perhaps because of Ji Qingyi's temperament or identity, she still felt very uncomfortable, so Cornelia chose to sit next to Li Guanqi.

The situation between Ji Qingyi and Li Guanqi seemed quite strange. They did not talk frequently, but occasionally spoke a few seemingly insignificant words in silence, but the deep meaning of the words was hard to fathom.

For Li Guanqi, she wore the ring this time not to show off, but to convey a message to everyone.

Let them know that Su Cheng has obtained props from other people, just to let them know about this.

She was feeling very complicated now, although she was satisfied with having the ring and felt that her expectations had been met.

But it wasn’t because of getting a space ring.

Instead, he got a ring.

This ring.

The symbolic meaning is far more important than the practical meaning.

In fact, even if Su Cheng made a ring out of weaving grass on the roadside, she would still feel happy and satisfied. Just because it was a ring!

at this time--

Su Cheng changed into her home clothes and walked out of the bedroom. She first glanced at the three women on the sofa, then smiled brightly and explained, "You guys sit down for a while, I'll go help."

After saying that, he walked towards the kitchen.

After he left, Li Guanqi and Ji Qingyi looked at each other. Their eyes were full of meaning, but neither of them spoke.

Suddenly, Cornelia's cell phone rang.

The two of them looked at Cornelia.

Cornelia picked up the phone and when she saw the number on the screen, her expression suddenly became nervous: "Mom?"

Li Guanqi and Ji Qingyi both withdrew their gazes and listened quietly.

"I'm staying at Su Cheng's house for dinner tonight."

"Su Cheng is going abroad for a competition in a few days. Everyone is here!"

"Yes, yes, it's the last meal."

"Pah, it's a farewell meal!"

"Well, I'll be back after dinner!"

"Okay!"

"Yeah, yeah, okay. I'll pay attention."

After hanging up the phone, Cornelia closed her cell phone and hugged the sofa pillow to watch TV again. It seemed that her mother had agreed to her request to stay for dinner.

This seemed to make her very happy.

There were footsteps coming from the kitchen. Konelia turned around and found Su Cheng carrying out the dishes. She couldn't help but ask in confusion: "I remember that at this time, Yaya should have been back a long time ago."

Yaya is her good friend, but she is not at home today, so she is naturally very confused and curious.

"Oh, ask Li Guanqi."

Su Cheng responded simply, placed the dishes on the table, and then took out some drinks from the refrigerator and placed them on the table.

"what?"

Upon hearing this, Cornelia looked at Li Guanqi with some confusion.

"I've been taking care of it lately." Li Guanqi said calmly, but with a hint of concern, "It's very well behaved, don't worry. If you want to visit it, you can come to my house on weekends."

"Well then..." Cornelia muttered a little disappointedly, and then changed the subject: "But...my Da Huang is also very well behaved."

"Did you adopt it?"

Li Guanqi raised his eyes and asked, his eyes narrowed slightly.

"No, she has an owner." Cornelia nodded, then sighed, "Her owner is a master. Although the master treats Da Huang badly, Da Huang is still quite loyal to him."

"Ah~"

As she spoke, she couldn't help but shook her head, expressing her helplessness.

In fact, she had wanted to keep Dahuang many times, but Dahuang was unwilling and would go home to live every day.

"Yeah…"

Li Guanqi didn't say anything more, but lowered his head and continued to sip his tea in silence.

Ji Qingyi listened to the conversation between the two and suddenly realized that everyone had a pet...

And the pets are all related to Su Cheng...

Gu Ruoxue has a fat cat.

Li Guanqi has a crow that is extremely human-like.

just now……

Cornelia also has a clever dog named Rhubarb.

Ji Qingyi didn't think these were rare pets, just a few that looked relatively rare. What made her unhappy was being excluded, as if she was inferior to others.

This made her already not-so-good mood even worse, and she became even more irritable.

“And I’m telling you.”

At this time, Cornelia boasted: "Da Huang has an incredible ability. I think you will be very surprised when you know it, hehe."

After saying that, Cornelia looked at Ji Qingyi and Li Guanqi mysteriously, as if she wouldn't tell them anything unless they asked, in an attempt to arouse their curiosity.

"What ability?"

Li Guanqi was aware of something when he heard this, and looked up at Cornelia, waiting for her next explanation.

Feeling that she was in control of the topic, Koniliya still felt a little proud. She paused for a few seconds and decided to tell the secret. She lowered her voice and said, "That's right, this big yellow can find Su Cheng, no matter where Su Cheng is!"

After these words were spoken, Li Guanqi and Ji Qingyi were stunned for a moment.

When Cornelia saw the two girls' reactions, she thought they didn't believe it at all, so she quickly added, "What I said is true, really! I'm not lying to you. Even if it's the ends of the earth, Da Huang can accurately find Su Cheng. Don't disbelieve me."

Li Guanqi immediately looked at Ji Qingyi who was standing beside him. Sure enough, Ji Qingyi had already realized the importance of Da Huang. She nodded slightly and asked, "Where is it?"
