Chapter 725: She Might Be Crazy
Impulsiveness was the devil. The current Su Chenghui had fully understood this sentence.
At that time, he was indeed impulsive. Later, he wanted to explain his incompetence. In the process, he was afraid that others would see through it. Even though he knew that he felt guilty toward Su Qingsang, he didn’t dare to show too much closeness.
All of this was his fault. He couldn’t say anything more to defend himself. His voice became very soft, bitter and helpless.
“I was really just impulsive.”
Li Qianxue looked at him and realized that she had lost control. This wasn’t good.
She still remembered it and was still struggling. This meant that she hadn’t let it go. She had to learn to let it go.
The wind seemed to have gotten colder. Li Qianxue looked at Su Chenghui and took a step back.
“It is said that the feelings between a man and a woman are also caused by impulsiveness.” Li Qianxue’s voice was very soft. Her gaze was slightly cold, she looked at him. “Because of a moment of impulsiveness, I fell in love with a person. Because of a moment of impulsiveness, I wanted to get a person. After I got him, I realized that a moment of impulsiveness really hurts people.”
She used his own words against him. Just like that, Su Chenghui’s hand relaxed. Li Qianxue took a big step back again.
As she turned around, a gust of wind blew over. Li Qianxue’s footsteps paused for a moment. In just a moment, large drops of rain fell from above her head.
She stood on the side of the road and had nowhere to hide. Su Chenghui naturally saw it too. In just a short while, he quickly took off his suit jacket and covered her head.
“You…”
“The rain is very heavy. Let me send you to the car first.”
There was no umbrella and the car wasn’t here. If she refused again, she was afraid that it would all get wet.
Li Qianxue’s body didn’t move and her back was stiff. Su Chenghui looked at her with a helpless expression. “You would rather be sick than accept my help?”
“Yes.” Li Qianxue nodded. “I would rather be sick than accept your help.”
The atmosphere became stiff again. The rain outside became heavier. Su Chenghui felt helpless and sighed. “Why do you have to be like this? If you get wet and get sick, won’t you make the Old Master worry? Even if you accept my help this time, so what?”
Li Qianxue wanted to say, ‘of course something would happen’, but the rain above her head was indeed getting heavier. Su Chenghui covered her head with his suit jacket, and his body was already more than half wet.
Li Qianxue still wanted to say something, but Su Chenghui walked to her side and gently touched her with his shoulder.
“Let’s go. If the rain gets heavier, we won’t be able to leave in a while.”
Li Qianxue’s footsteps were very slow, but she was led forward by him.
The rain got heavier, and Su Chenghui’s body was almost completely wet. Li Qianxue’s upper body was protected by him and covered by the suit, so she didn’t get wet at all.
However, the high heels under her feet affected her speed, especially when she went up and down the stairs.
Su Chenghui used his shoulders as support. One hand was holding the corner of the suit jacket, and the other hand was holding her shoulders, so that she could walk steadily and not fall.
When Su Chenghui’s shoulder touched Li Qianxue’s, her body instantly stiffened. There was still his scent on the jacket. That scent was too familiar to her.
Realizing that she was distracted, Li Qianxue quickened her pace and walked forward.
“Get in the car.” Su Chenghui’s car stopped across the hotel. He opened the car door. It was too late for Li Qianxue to retreat. She could only get in the car.
Her head wasn’t wet, but her body and feet were wet. Su Chenghui covered her head with his suit jacket so that she wouldn’t get wet.
Su Chenghui was completely drenched. He closed the car door and quickly went to the other side to get in the car.
He opened the locker in front and took out a clean towel and handed it to Li Qianxue. “You can wipe yourself.”
“No need.” She sat there and didn’t want to take it. “You can use it yourself.”
“Wipe the water off your body. I’ll send you home.”
Su Chenghui was very stubborn. He placed the towel on Li Qianxue’s hand while he took out the napkin on the table and casually wiped the water off his face.
Li Qianxue looked at him and her gaze fell on the towel in her hand. She wasn’t that wet.
Su Chenghui had blocked the downwind just now, so the rain was falling on him. She casually wiped twice and handed the towel back to Su Chenghui.
“Thank you.” Su Chenghui took the towel from her hand and thanked her.
Li Qianxue frowned slightly. He gave her the towel and she used it. Should he thank her?
Su Chenghui wiped his hair dry. He was actually very wet. It would be really uncomfortable.
He glanced at Li Qianxue. “It will take at least an hour and a half to drive back to the Li family. Why don’t you go to my place? You can take a shower and change your clothes?”
“Su Chenghui? You –”
“My company is nearby at Shengda Garden. Do you remember? I’ve been living there for more than a year.”
“If you’re not free to send me home, I can ask Xiao Zhao to pick me up.”
“Qianxue, I’m not trying to do anything to you. I just want to tell you that it will only take ten minutes to get to Shengda Garden from here. Even if you ask Xiao Zhao to pick you up, it will still take you an hour and a half to get back to the Li family. Are you sure you want to wear wet clothes for an hour and a half?”
Li Qianxue was silent. She was a little mysophobic. It was okay if her upper body was clean. Her pants were all stuck to her body because of the rain. Her shoes were also full of water. She felt very uncomfortable.
“Don’t worry. Just take a shower and change your clothes.” Su Chenghui saw that Li Qianxue still wanted to refuse, so he couldn’t help but add, “I don’t want you to catch a cold.”
This sudden concern made Li Qianxue’s face darken. Before she could say anything, Su Chenghui had already started the car.
She couldn’t say anything to stop him. The rain was very heavy. Even with the winds.h.i.+eld wipers on, the road ahead couldn’t be seen clearly.
Su Chenghui’s speed was very slow. It wasn’t past the evening rush hour yet, but there were many cars on the road in Lin City.
There were a few buildings in this area that were built by the Li family back then. Among them, there were two buildings that were her and Su Chenghui’s achievements.
Su Chenghui’s car took a turn in front, and he glanced at her from the corner of his eye. Following her line of sight, he also saw the buildings in front, including the building at the end of the road. The residential area he was living in now, Shengda Garden.
“There’s a new school next to Shengda Garden now, and the price has gone up quite a bit. Second-hand houses are in high demand.”
His voice made Li Qianxue turn her eyes to look at him. Su Chenghui was focused on driving, as if he didn’t notice her gaze. “I still remember when you and I worked overtime for this Shengda Garden for many days.”
Li Qianxue didn’t speak, so naturally, she also remembered.
She wouldn’t deny her cooperation with Su Chenghui on official matters, nor would she deny that Su Chenghui, who worked hard and was always very discerning, really attracted her at that time.
She still remembered that Shengda Garden’s plot of land wasn’t considered big at that time. After calculating the greenery ratio, the residential area wasn’t big enough.
At that time, the housing prices in Lin City had just started to rise. The planning department and the development department wanted to build single apartments with small units.
It must be known that in those years, single apartments were very popular. However, Su Chenghui didn’t agree.
He brought people to investigate the surrounding environment. After doing an interview, he submitted a report. He said that there were several schools in this area.
There were elementary, middle, and international kindergartens. In the future, there would definitely be many young couples who wanted to buy a house in this area.
Of course, young people and investors would buy a bachelor apartment, but they were more capable. Moreover, the ones who could last longer would definitely be young couples, and it would be families with children.
At that time, there was no concept of a so-called school district house, but Su Chenghui pushed aside the objections of the public and resisted the pressure of the board of directors. He also tried his best to buy a piece of land next to it, which resulted in the current Shengs.h.i.+ Tea Garden.
Not long after the opening of the sale, the concept of school district housing began to exist, and Su Chenghui asked people to promote only in that direction.
Sure enough, not long after, the concept of school district housing came out, especially after a few college entrance examination top scorers appeared in the high school near Shengda. It became difficult to find a single house in Shengda. There were even clients and relatives of the Li family who came to buy a house.
At that time, Li Qianxue was one of the few people who supported Su Chenghui. She recognized his working abilities, so she would put aside her prejudice and accept every decision he made.
During that period of time, Su Chenghui was responsible for doing the outside work well and solving the outside matters. She was responsible for solving the opposition voices within the company. Under such cooperation, it could be considered that they had a very harmonious time together.
No, it wasn’t just that period of time. For a long time, as long as it didn’t involve family matters, if they only talked about the company, the atmosphere between the two of them could be considered good.
The rain was very loud, and the car was very quiet.
Li Qianxue didn’t answer Su Chenghui’s words. She thought that perhaps she had misjudged him from the beginning.
Su Chenghui would be a very good collaborator and work partner, but he might not be a very good husband and a qualified father.
She should have understood this in the past. If that was the case, their ending might be different now.
“Qianxue? We’re here.”
When she was distracted, the car had already stopped at the underground parking lot where Su Chenghui lived.
Li Qianxue got out of the car and looked at the environment in front of her. They had partic.i.p.ated in the design of the building and the layout of the building.
She was the one who decided on this apartment because it faced the artificial lake in the middle of the community. Further away, they could see a park in front of them.
During the divorce, she gave this apartment to Su Chenghui so that he could sign the papers quickly. She didn’t expect him to live here.
She thought that with his pride, he wouldn’t be willing to live in the apartment she gave him.
“You really liked this neighborhood. Do you still remember it?”
Su Chenghui led her to the elevator. His voice was gentle, and one could vaguely hear a trace of nostalgia.
Li Qianxue looked at her high heels that were wet from the rain and didn’t respond to his words. She had already vaguely guessed the reason Su Chenghui lived here.
Li Qianxue owned a lot of properties, but the apartment she left behind in Shengda Garden was a little different.
She had personally partic.i.p.ated in the renovation of this apartment. It was designed according to her preferences.
At that time, she liked the floor and the apartment design very much. She had planned to give this apartment as a birthday present to Su Yuxin, so she put in more effort than other places.
The sound of the elevator reminded her that she was distracted again. The sticky feeling on her body made her very uncomfortable. She walked out of the elevator with a cold expression on her face.
Su Chenghui looked at her and didn’t say anything. He calmly stepped forward and signaling for Li Qianxue to go in, he used his fingerprint to unlock the door.
Li Qianxue took a look at the door. Everything was still the same, even the furniture that she had originally picked out.
It was also very clean. It wasn’t to the extent that it looked like n.o.body lived there, but it wasn’t like the usual bachelor apartment, which always looked messy.
Su Chenghui entered the door before her. He casually threw his coat at the front entrance.
“Take a shower first.” He found a new pair of slippers, bath towel and toiletries. “No one has used the guest one. You can take a shower there.”
He said this because he was afraid that Li Qianxue would mind. Li Qianxue glanced at him and didn’t say anything.
“Or, would you prefer to take a bath in the bathroom in the master bedroom?” As if realizing that his words could easily be misunderstood, Su Chenghui added, “I don’t really use the bathtub, but I have asked Auntie to sterilize and clean it regularly.”
Li Qianxue’s body felt sticky and wet, so naturally it was uncomfortable. She also liked to take a bath at home, since it was a rare time for her to relax.
“Come with me.” Su Chenghui seemed to know what she was thinking. He knew her habits very well, so he quickly went to the master bedroom.
Li Qianxue took two steps and stood there with a little hesitation. However, Su Chenghui came out very quickly.
“The water is ready. You can go and wash first.”
Li Qianxue glanced at him but didn’t refuse. She turned around and went to the bathroom.
The master bedroom was very clean and tidy. The quilt was folded neatly. There was a book on the bedside. The room wasn’t big, but it was full of Su Chenghui’s scent.
At this moment, Li Qianxue regretted it. She couldn’t help but walk out. She wanted to go to the guest room outside and have a quick shower.
However, as soon as she walked out, she saw Su Chenghui walking into the guest room. Li Qianxue stood there motionlessly.
After thinking for a while, she decided to continue.
The Jacuzzi was very big, and it was also her choice. The warm water washed over her body and eliminated most of the discomfort from the rain just now.
Li Qianxue closed her eyes. Her body was comfortable, but she was starting to get irritated. She must have gone crazy today to follow Su Chenghui home. She even took a bath in his bathroom?
But when Li Qianxue heard Su Chenghui say to her, “I don’t want you to catch a cold,” she inexplicably agreed.
Thinking of this, Li Qianxue couldn’t even take a bath at ease, and the irritation in her heart became even stronger.
..
This bath took a long time. After half an hour, Li Qianxue finally tidied herself up.
She put on the bathrobe that Su Chenghui had prepared, tied the belt tightly, and checked it again and again. Li Qianxue decided to go out and get her phone to call Xiao Zhao.
He should still be waiting for her near the hotel banquet hall, so she asked him to send a set of clothes over.
She had just left the room but before she could get her phone, she saw Su Chenghui coming out of the kitchen.
“You’re done was.h.i.+ng? Just in time. Let’s eat something.”
In front of her, Su Chenghui was wearing loungewear. He came out of the kitchen with a bowl in his hand.
Li Qianxue was stunned when she saw Su Chenghui like this.
