Husband, Spend Some Gold Coins

Ah! It was so embarrassing. He wasn’t very familiar with Qin Yizhi in the first place, and if he insisted on chatting, he naturally wouldn’t be able to continue the conversation.

Xie Qi simply stopped talking.

Qin Yizhi didn’t speak again for the whole ride, and the two of them walked in silence all the way to the downstairs of Xie Qi’s house.

The elevator room where Xie Qi lived was simply decorated. It was obviously a rental house. Jiang Sining had still taken the time to renovate it elegantly with wallpaper and floor stickers. He covered the previously dusty floor with bright warm yellow wood grain tile stickers, and the interior was also much brighter. The overall look was much neater and fresher.

Xie Qi hadn’t thought much about it before. He wasn’t that meticulous and thought it didn’t matter if it looked casual most of the time. But now that Qin Yizhi was going to his house, he realized that Jiang Sining had done a great job. Otherwise, the house used to look dilapidated and dark, and it would have been really embarrassed to show it to guests.

Qin Yizhi arrived at the door; Xie Qi quickly found a pair of brand-new slippers and opened the package then handed them to Qin Yizhi: “You can wear these, they’re new.”

Qin Yizhi silently took off his shoes and put them on. As they got up, the singing voice of the the strong chef floated from the kitchen. Xie Qi had come back early this time, he didn’t know that this man could actually sing while cooking.

Seemingly hearing some noise, the strong man poked his head out of the kitchen and immediately saw Qin Yizhi. His relaxed face suddenly tightened, and he walked out of the kitchen, saying, “Mr. Qin, why are you here?”

Qin Yizhi saw that he was wearing a small-sized apron, which stretched out his chest muscles tightly, and his face couldn’t help but become even colder – he had a very cold appearance, and every line on his face was sharp, just standing there was quite intimidating. He stared at the strong man, his voice a little hoarse, and his originally refreshing and magnetic voice was suppressed into pure coldness, “Yucheng, your apron is too small.”

It didn’t sound like a comment, but more like a question – “Why did you buy such a small apron?”

The strong man looked at him in confusion and said hesitantly, “Mr. Qin, this is what the apron looks like. It’s because I’m too tall.”

Qin Yizhi’s tone was intolerant. He said, “Change to a larger size.”

The strong man said, “Ah,” and hesitantly replied, “Okay Mr. Qin, I’ll buy it again and get a larger size.”

Xie Qi looked on and couldn’t help but think, it was good that he cared about his subordinates, but having too much control also not good either. Did he even have to control what size apron his subordinates wear?

.

The strong man went back to the kitchen a little aggrieved. Xie Qi took the opportunity to entertain Qin Yizhi and asked him, “Would you like something to drink? I have Huiyuan juice, water, and milk here.”

Qin Yizhi said, “No need.”

When he said this, Xie Qi didn’t take it seriously, so he went to pour him a glass of water, “The water still a little hot, let’s drink it later.”

Qin Yizhi reached out to take it and put it on the coffee table.

Xie Qi also sat on the sofa; he was a little awkward – it was hard not to be embarrassed. If the two of them had to sit awkwardly until dinner, it would be extremely embarrassing.

Still trying to find a way to liven up the atmosphere, Xie Qi pinched the bridge of his nose, thought for a moment, then forced a smile on his face, turned to Qin Yizhi and said, “I heard that you studied at Columbia, how awesome.”

Qin Yizhi paused, his eyes fell on him, and when he saw his forced smile, he looked away again, “Don’t force yourself.”

Uh, what did it mean? Xie Qi was a little confused. Although he knew he shouldn’t be upset, Qin Yizhi was always speaking short sentences. If they lived together in the future, he didn’t know what kind of fight he would do with the man.

Xie Qi said silently in his heart, ‘he is the sponsor, he is the sponsor, he is the sponsor, he cannot get angry at the sponsor.’

After suppressing his emotions, he suppressed his smile and said, “I didn’t force myself. I just praised you a little but you didn’t say anything.”

Qin Yizhi paused and answered his question: “Well, I studied at Columbia University, but I haven’t graduated yet.”

Xie Qi was stunned and subconsciously asked, “How come you haven’t graduated? Could it be you don’t have enough credits?”

It shouldn’t be, Xie Qi thought. Qin Yizhi seemed to be very smart and good at studying.

Qin Yizhi said calmly, “Something happened at home, so I was anxious to come back and inherit the family business.”

Xie Qi responded, “…Oh.”

Wait, that was not right either. Didn’t he run away after coming back?

However, Xie Qi didn’t dare to ask, but instead inquired, “Can you still get your diploma?”

Qin Yizhi replied, “I can, but I’ll have to go back and study for another year.”

Xie Qi felt that Qin Yizhi seemed to be very civil with him, so he became bolder and continued to ask, “…Speaking of which, have you ever been in love?”

Xie Qi thumped the ground in his mind, even if he had nothing to say. How could he ask such a thing? They did not a special relationship, and he actually didn’t care much, but Qin Yizhi might misunderstand and think he cared about his past.

Qin Yizhi paused, as if he did not expect Xie Qi to ask such a question, and answered as usual, “No.”

Xie Qi also didn’t expect that he would really answer, but still persisted, “Why not? You’re so good-looking, you should have been in a relationship when you were in school, right?”

Qin Yizhi looked at Xie Qi with an elusive look in his eyes again, and replied coldly, “If people don’t want to fall in love, then they won’t.”

Xie Qi was taken aback. Ah, wait a minute. Then his kiss with Qin Yizhi was probably Qin Yizhi’s first kiss?? No wonder.

If he had some doubts before and felt that Qin Yizhi looked at him too coldly and didn’t seem to like him, now he understood, maybe Qin Yizhi was more reserved and didn’t show much emotion.

But Xie Qi was coming onto him very strong, how could it not have any effect on the man?

Oh well, it was indeed his fault.
