Chapter 40: It’s better to dance than to worry about human affairs

Also invited to the luncheon was Liu Jingyun.

She had just experienced a major change in her life, and suffered a heavy blow both mentally and physically, so she didn't look very good. But after carefully dressing up, she was still elegant and dignified, and her demeanor was not inferior to those of young girls like Yue Xin and Qian Yunqiao. Her eyebrows were curved like willow leaves, her eyes were upturned, and her dark red lips were like red wine in a glass, rich and mellow. She was wrapped in a dark blue embroidered cheongsam, which outlined her exquisite figure in an extremely seductive way.

No wonder Feng Shaowen was almost crazy about Liu Jingyun, who was much older than him. Her charm and aura were enough to surpass thousands of other women. Although her appearance was not outstanding, she exuded a unique mature temperament that was hard to come by, and was one in a hundred.

Seeing her again today, Qi Xuan and Luo Sai both felt very close to her.

She walked over and smiled at them and said , " There are thousands of words to thank you. You may not believe it, but after going through this turmoil, I suddenly felt a lot more cheerful, and I also have a different perspective on things. Especially especially As for my husband, he is usually taciturn and mediocre. I didn't expect that during the days when I was in trouble, he would go all out to support the family. His tolerance and understanding for me made me feel ashamed that he was busy with the business of the store. , couldn’t come, and even wrote a letter specifically for me to hand over to you.”

Liu Jingyun handed the letter to Qi Xuan.

Qi Xuan took out a page from the envelope and unfolded it. There were only a few simple sentences in the letter:

On behalf of my wife Yun'er and my son Xiaodong, I would like to thank you for your great kindness. The past is like clouds and mist. It is the best policy to clear away the clouds and fog, look ahead and keep walking. Goodbye. Written by Chen Lixiang.

After reading this letter, Qi Xuan and Luo Sai were deeply moved. Liu Jingyun is really lucky to meet such an open-minded, kind-hearted and reasonable husband. Liu Jingyun can be considered a lucky person to be safe and sound after all these twists and turns. Although she goes against the bottom line of being a wife, her ability to wake up from the lesson can be regarded as a lesson that life has taught her, and it is also a reminder for her future life.

Yue Xin took Liu Jingyun's hand, her face filled with envy, and said with a smile , " Sister, you are so lucky! If you want to dance in the future, just come here. I also want to learn more from you. Sister is not only knowledgeable. , you dance so well, I’m starting to be jealous of you!”

Liu Jingyun immediately replied , " Okay, your brother-in-law will be relieved if I come to the Jasmine Club to dance!" After saying that, she squeezed Yue Xin's hand, and the two started laughing.

Seeing Liu Jingyun, Qi Xuan naturally would not miss this opportunity. He invited Liu Jingyun to sit on the sofa and chatted with him about the jade ring.

Qi Xuan told Liu Jingyun about the Qi family's guardianship of the mysterious mirror for generations, as well as the legend about the five jade rings, from the Han Dynasty to the present, from fantasy to reality. Liu Jingyun was so breathless that he didn't dare to breathe. She was sometimes surprised and sometimes nodded as if she were listening to a book, feeling very novel about Qi Xuan's narration.

Liu Jingyun did not expect that a small ring left to her by her grandmother would have such a legendary story.

"This ring is the key to solving the mystery of the mysterious mirror. Although you don't know much about its origins, whether it is guarded by your family or whether it passed into the hands of your grandma several times is impossible to know now. However, since it is here In your hands, you become its guardian. Now, if I have something to ask for, can I borrow your ring? I will return it as it is when everything is clear."

Liu Jingyun touched the ring on her thumb and said with a smile , " Actually, I only put it on my hand recently. You see, the ring is so big that I had to wrap red thread around it several times to wear it. "I don't care about its style or value, but I just have a thought in my mind. If it has other uses, you can just keep it carefully." Liu Jingyun took off the ring and put it away. into the palm of Qi Xuan's hand.

Luo Sai looked on from the side and saw that Liu Jingyun was very cooperative. He raised his glass and took a sip, throwing a smile at Qi Xuan.

While they were talking, Qian Yunqiao stood alone by the window and kept watching. Although she couldn't hear what they said clearly, she could roughly picture the content of the conversation in her mind. She saw Qi Xuan put the ring in the pocket of his suit, and then he, Luo Sai and Liu Jingyun walked to the table and sat down. She also followed and sat on the seat next to Qi Xuan.

Everyone drank happily, talked and laughed, sipped fine wine and tasted delicious dishes. Tang Yingfei told everyone the thrilling story of working with Dafeng on a mission. During the dinner, Yue Xin saw Qian Yunqiao and Qi Xuan serving food and smiling with a low eyebrow. She had nowhere to put her jealousy, so she could only drink to relieve her sorrow. After drinking, her face turned rosy, and she leaned against Tang Yingfei. I sang a love song line by line.

Before you know it, night falls and the lights begin to turn on. The neon lights of the club lit up again and became the protagonist of the night.

Everyone decided to dance downstairs. So Qian Yunqiao took Qi Xuan's arm and said softly , " How about asking me to dance?"

Qi Xuan smiled and followed Qian Yunqiao to the dance floor. The two slowly danced to the lyrical tunes played by the band.

Qian Yunqiao's satin top was soft and silky. Qi Xuan put his hands on it and glanced sideways at Xiaotong and Luo Sai next to him. The two of them also came to the center of the dance floor, moved their steps, and were immersed in the beautiful melody of the music.

Fortunately, Qin Xiaohuan had a rest tonight, otherwise seeing Luo Sai dancing with other girls in his arms would have caused another jealousy scandal.

Yue Xin was busy with the work at hand and couldn't care less about being jealous.

But Qian Yunqiao was branded in her heart , " This Qian Yunqiao looks gentle and quiet, but Qi Xuan is very proactive and enthusiastic."

Seeing Yue Xin's unhappy and jealous look, Tang Yingfei smiled helplessly and said , " Then hurry up and snatch him away!"

Yue Xin slapped the folder in her hand on Tang Yingfei and shouted , " Work! With so much work, you still have time to fall in love? I, Yue Xin, am not a woman who can't climb out of a honeypot." After that, he pushed Tang Yingfei to the duty room.

Qian Yunqiao raised her eyes to look at Qi Xuan's face illuminated by the stage lights. His clear eyebrows, deep eyes, high nose, gentle lips, and the unique smell that only belonged to him exuded from him made her feel... Qian Yunqiao was fascinated. A reserved woman like her couldn't restrain her inner excitement and blushed with embarrassment.

She secretly put her face close to Qi Xuan's clothes, hoping to smell his scent more clearly. She took a deep breath and felt the breath of the man in front of her, which was the fragrance of fruit trees.

Qian Yunqiao was heartbroken by her actions and snickered secretly. Unexpectedly, Luo Sai came over at an inappropriate time and said with a smile , " Ms. Qian, I wonder if I have the honor to dance a song with you?" As he said this, he stretched out his hand and waited for Qian Yunqiao's response.

Qian Yunqiao glanced at Qi Xuan, then nodded to Luo Sai with a smile, and placed her beautiful hand on Luo Sai's palm.

They exchanged partners and started dancing to the rhythm again.

"Miss Qian seems to have a soft spot for Master Qi, doesn't she?" said Luo Sai.

Qian Yunqiao was stunned after hearing this, and then heard Luo Sai continue , " You can see the unconcealed love from Miss Qian's expression."

"You're quite understanding. I hid it so well, but you still saw through it." Qian Yun smiled , " You said I couldn't hide my feelings, but I think you two are the ones who have similar feelings, right? When you two good friends are together, I'm afraid you only have eyes for each other and can't think of anyone else, right?"

Qian Yunqiao looked up at Luo Sai with a cold and powerful look. On the surface, her words meant that Luo Sai and Qi Xuan had a good relationship. On the other hand, she was implying that Luo Sai was interfering too much in Qi Xuan's affairs and could not tolerate others doing well for Qi Xuan. This was an instinctive reaction of a little woman. A woman's intuition is even sharper than a cat's ears. Qian Yunqiao instinctively sensed Luo Sai's defensiveness and hostility towards her. But she didn't quite understand what she had done wrong to make Luo Sai so disgusted?

By the way, the relationship between Luo Sai and Qi Xuan is indeed quite enviable. The two of them had known each other for a short time, but they were very happy with each other, and there was a feeling that they met too late. The two people have the same aura, and when they meet together, others can only stand aside and stare. It is said that men and women are destined to get along well and are a match made in heaven. It would not be an exaggeration to say that they are a match made in heaven.

The peaceful girl in her arms, who seemed to be at peace, was definitely not as simple as she showed. From her eyes and words, Luo Sai could faintly feel that there might be strong and powerful blood flowing in her body. Her weak appearance is exactly her best disguise.

"You are both single. If you are in love and come together, it will be a beautiful thing in the world, and I will naturally bless you. However, Qi Xuan's situation is a bit special. You are too close to him, and I am worried-"

"Okay, okay, if you want to be my love consultant, I have no objection. I just hope you won't pour cold water on me and try to dampen my enthusiasm. I know how much distance I should keep from him."

Luo Sai and Qian Yunqiao each had their own thoughts, but the scene of Qi Xuan and Xiaotong together was very happy.

Qi Xuan was allergic to the perfume Xiaotong sprayed on her body and kept sneezing.

"I'm sorry, I'm allergic to certain smells - 'Achoo!' - sorry."

Xiaotong didn't take Qi Xuan's discomfort seriously at all. Her focus was on Luo Sai.

"You said that Rosset doesn't have a girlfriend yet? Did he ever tell me what type of girl he likes?"

Qi Xuan rubbed his itchy nose and said , " He didn't say that."

It seems that Xiaotong is probably attracted to Luo Sai. Qi Xuan raised his head high and tried to stay as far away from Xiaotong as possible, but the pungent perfume smell still made him feel uncomfortable all over.

The singers sang, the dancers enjoyed themselves, and the Jasmine Club was filled with passion.

Among the dancing crowd, someone caught Qi Mei's attention.

She had just come in through the door and suddenly saw him among the swaying figures.

He is none other than Zhao Yingtong.

Qi Mei rarely goes out at night. She came to the club today specifically to see where Luo Sai worked and lived, and to see what kind of chaotic life Luo Sai lived.

Ever since she heard Luo Sai talking nonsense at home, about missing Qi Xuan and being unable to live without Qi Xuan, these shocking words touched her bottom line. A grown man actually said such disgusting words to another man, and that man was his favorite nephew.

Putting aside the influence of Xuan Jing's evil spirit, Luo Sai's words must have been what he was thinking. His attention to Qi Xuan made Qi Mei uneasy.

So, she asked Lian Xiaotian to drive her to the bustling club to see if Qi Xuan, who had not been seen all day, was hanging out with Luo Sai. As a result, he unexpectedly saw Zhao Yingtong who came to relax. Inspector Zhao was relieved from the fatigue of the day and danced a dynamic quickstep with his partner on the dance floor.

Zhao Yingtong looks lazy on weekdays, but when he dances he looks decent, which is very eye-catching. Qi Mei stood on the edge of the dance floor, watching and enjoying herself. She thought it was funny how Zhao Yingtong danced so enthusiastically.

Zhao Yingtong was not suitable for long-term exercise. After dancing for a while, he was sweating all over his body. He quickly left the dance floor and found a seat to rest. As he took out his handkerchief to wipe his sweat, he saw Qi Mei walking towards him.

"Miss Qi! Oh, what a surprise! I didn't expect that I wouldn't come for a long time, but I would meet you when I came here. We are destined!" Zhao Yingtong greeted her with a smile.

Qi Mei took off the square scarf draped over her shoulders and put it on her arm, smiling , " Detective Zhao took some time off from his busy schedule and danced to his heart's content!"

The two sat in a corner away from the crowd and chatted.

"I really want to thank you for what happened to Qi Xuan last time. I heard that Inspector Zhao was almost in danger of his life?"

"The danger is really dangerous. Fortunately, there was no danger. It is my responsibility to maintain law and order and ensure the safety of citizens. There is no need to thank you. It is what I should do. I will feel relieved if Qi Xuan is safe and sound."
