Good luck every time

Qin Huanzhang restrained his smile and his expression became a little more serious, as if his nostalgia was filled with many complex emotions.

"She also said she's the best at naming and she wants to help me pick a name too!"

Zhao Qi looked at Qin Huanzhang's expression quietly and continued to ask her.

"Then do you agree?"

Qin Huanzhang nodded.

"Of course I agreed!"

"So…what did she name you?"

Qin Huanzhang lowered his head slightly to hide the coldness that flashed across his eyes.

"She said, if I were to have a name, it should be...Yuanxi!"

Zhao Qi paused his hand that was playing with the teacup, and looked at Qin Huanzhang with an expression of shock and panic.

He muttered.

"Meeting by chance is just what I wish for..."

When Qin Huanzhang raised his head, there was only a calm smile on his face.

"I am not very good at writing, so I don't know this sentence. Ruyi is very good at writing and can think the same as me."

Zhao Qi sat there dejectedly, not listening to what Qin Huanzhang said.

Qin Huanzhang was also very tactful. He sat quietly not far from him and soon fell into a doze.

She swayed and almost fell to the ground, which instantly woke herself up and also called Zhao Qi's attention back.

Zhao Qi glanced at her and suddenly stretched out his hand.

"It's late, take a rest!"

Qin Huanzhang was still a little sleepy and was pulled up from the chair by Zhao Qi. The two walked to the bedroom together. Seeing that Zhao Qi did not leave, Qin Huanzhang pretended to be surprised.

"Master, are you not going to Aunt Chen's place today?"

When Zhao Qi thought of Chen Panpan, he couldn't help but think of Li Ruyi, and then couldn't help but think of the words "Meeting by chance is just what I wish for."

In his heart, Qin Huanzhang was someone who did not exist between him and Li Ruyi.

Those words must have been said to him by Li Ruyi!

Li Ruyi is telling himself in this way that he is already married and his wife is the most suitable person for him.

They never will!

Even if Qin Huanzhang died, Li Ruyi would not become Qin Huanzhang.

Late at night, Zhao Qi was lying on the inside of the bed with his back to Qin Huanzhang.

In ordinary families, most men lie on the outside, which is convenient for getting out of bed and protecting their wives and children at home. However, there is no such rule in wealthy families.

If a man needs to get up at night, a woman must accompany him, so most women lie on the outside.

Even the mistress of the house is the same.

Qin Huanzhang's breathing was steady as he slept, with no worries at all.

But Zhao Qi couldn't fall asleep.

He had promised the old lady of the Zhao family before that he wanted Zhao You to inherit the family business and he would take the imperial examination.

At that time, the old lady of the Zhao family would certainly not agree.

But now that she saw that the power had fallen into Qin Huanzhang's hands, the old lady of the Zhao family changed her original refusal and encouraged Zhao Chi to take part in the imperial examination.

The more he read, the more Zhao Qi could feel the gap between him and Han Shian.

It is said that the person who knows you best is your enemy.

Zhao Qi probably knows more about Han Shian's knowledge than he does about Li Ruyi.

He sighed deeply and tossed and turned in a frenzy.

At this moment, a hand suddenly reached out and patted his shoulder softly.

Qin Huanzhang's sleepy voice was heard.

"Why aren't you sleeping yet? Are you not used to it?"

She patted him intermittently as if she was coaxing a child, but in fact she herself had not yet woken up, and she often patted him twice and then stopped.

Zhao Qi was stunned by her pat, and wanted to say something to her speechlessly.

But every time he breathed hard, the other person's hand would stop, as if he had fallen asleep in an instant. He felt helpless.

"You can sleep, I'm fine..."

He whispered something that seemed to show sympathy for Qin Huanzhang, but the other party didn't hear it and seemed to be still coaxing him instinctively.

"Can't sleep? Let me hum a song for you..."

The intermittent melody sounded along with the rhythm of Qin Huanzhang patting him to sleep. Although it was out of tune, it brought a different kind of peace of mind, which made Zhao Qi's complicated and sad mood relax a little.

He slowly turned over and looked at Qin Huanzhang's outline in the light from outside.

The song stopped, and the hand on his shoulder was warm.

He heard Qin Huanzhang's long breathing with a reassuring rhythm.

For the first time, Zhao Qi discovered that Qin Huanzhang was also a unique person.

He thought the other party didn't care about him, so he didn't even blink when he took Chen Panpan into his room.

When he drugged his grandmother to seize power, his cold-bloodedness was frightening.

Although his grandmother was in good health, Chen Panpan was also someone Zhao Qi was inclined towards.

But Zhao Qi always felt that Qin Huanzhang was so powerful that it was scary, as if he was not a real person but the King of Hell!

Until this moment, the other party let down all his defenses and lay softly beside him, wanting to comfort him even though he was drowsy.

Zhao Qi suddenly realized that the other party was not as strong as he had imagined.

Qin Huanzhang's reason seemed to be struggling with her sleepy body. Just as Zhao Qi was thinking, she regained some consciousness.

The gentle hand patted Zhao Qi's shoulder again, and the humming tune continued.

Zhao Qi suddenly reached out and hugged Qin Huanzhang, burying his head in the other's neck and shoulders.

It was not the iron-like body he had imagined, but rather gentle and soft with a warm touch.

"what happened?"

Qin Huanzhang's hand fell on his hair, and he forced himself to look at him.

"It's okay, I just feel the wind is a little cold!"

Zhao Qi seemed to understand what Li Ruyi said, "Meeting by chance is just what I wish for."

In the darkness, Qin Huanzhang opened one eye, glanced at the top of Zhao Qi's head, and then quickly closed it.

She seemed to be much more sober and used some strength to smooth Zhao Qi's back.

"Okay, do you want me to bring in the bed and quilt..."

Being held gently by her, Zhao Qi finally felt a little sleepy.

"No need, you should go to bed early too!"

His voice was muffled.

After Qin Huanzhang heard this, he continued to recite to him, seeming to be asleep, yet also seeming not to be asleep.

The two of them hugged each other, each with their own thoughts.

The next morning, Qin Huanzhang got up with a smile on his face and helped Zhao Qi get dressed and wash.

When she was adjusting Zhao Qi's belt, Zhao Qi suddenly grabbed her hand.

"Before you got married, did you ever think about being together forever?"

When Qin Huanzhang heard this life-threatening question early in the morning, the smile on his face faded slightly.

If she said that she had thought about it a long time ago, then she could not explain why she took Chen Panpan as Zhao Qi's concubine.

If she said she had never thought about it, it would seem that Zhao Qi was not important at all in her mind.

At this time, she could only ask Zhao Qi a question to resolve her embarrassment.

"Why are you asking about this?"

Zhao Qi held her hand, looked at her expression, and continued to ask without being distracted by her.

"Have you ever thought about it?"

Qin Huanzhang knew he couldn't escape and sighed.

"Which woman in the world hasn't thought about this... But I understand that people of our status have already enjoyed the offerings of many people, so we can no longer act recklessly!"

"I hope you're doing better. I don't care about my mood..."

After hearing this, Zhao Qi still did not let go of her hand. He looked at her and continued to ask.

"What about Grandmother?"

Qin Huanzhang felt the hairs on her back stand on end, but she knew that this was the only chance Zhao Qi gave her to refute. Whether they would ease the situation or become strangers from then on depended on her answer.

She struggled to pull her hand out, but Zhao Qi did not let go. Instead, he held it even tighter.

She had no choice but to give up struggling.

"I have no way of refutation about this. I just want to be the mistress of the house! I can't say that it's for my grandmother's health, and I can't deny that I like the feeling of being in control..."

"When I first got married, I was surrounded by strangers and unfamiliar environments. I had no one to rely on except you. I thought you knew how difficult it was for me."

"At that time, Ruyi had some problems, and I wanted to help, but I had no one. I wanted to ask you for help, but for some reason, I never had the chance to say it..."

"The bride has received so many banquets. I cannot lose the Zhao family's reputation, nor can I lose your dignity. However, due to various reasons, I have to endure the exclusion of other families."

"I admit that I didn't do well in my grandmother's affairs, and I have never thought of hurting anyone in the Zhao family, but I have no excuse for this matter. If you blame me, I have no complaints!"

"I can't say what would happen if I had to do it again. The past is the past. I can only say that if I face the same situation in the future, I will definitely not use such means to deal with it."

After saying this, Qin Huanzhang seemed helpless and struggled to pull his hand out of Zhao Qi's hand again.

But Zhao Qi did not let go.

He was silent for a moment, as if reflecting on himself.

There was no way he could fall in love with Qin Huanzhang overnight. It was already difficult to have a good impression of him.

What he was thinking about at this moment was Li Ruyi and Han Shian.

He subconsciously compared himself with Han Shian.

If the same thing happened to Li Ruyi, what would the other party do? Would they tolerate her choice and indulge her in everything? Or would they also despise her and separate from her.

The answer seems to be coming soon.

"These things are not all your fault, I also did something wrong!"

When Zhao Qi said this, Qin Huanzhang looked up at him in surprise. The strength he had maintained seemed to be shattered in an instant.

Her whole being seemed to soften in an instant.

She reached out and tentatively hugged Zhao Qi, resting her head on his chest.

The previous annoyance did not come to his mind, and Zhao Qi slowly put his arm around Qin Huanzhang's shoulders.

"I am sorry for you. I will shoulder the responsibility for this matter with you..."

Qin Huanzhang's tears fell instantly.

But Zhao Qi's next sentence almost ruined her plan.

"I want to send Chen Panpan away, and I will live with you from now on, okay?"

Qin Huanzhang: ...

I don’t like you that much!

Actually, it’s not necessary…

Who wants to sleep with you every day? It's so annoying.

I have to serve you, consider whether you are happy or not, and whether you are comfortable or not...

She said with trembling teeth.

"I'm afraid it's hard to deal with Aunt Chen..."

At this moment, Zhao Qi had no idea what strange ideas were popping into his mind.

He suddenly felt that he should compare himself with Han Shian!

Qin Huanzhang felt powerless.

After all, Li Ruyi and Han Shian truly love each other.

But what are she and Zhao Qi?

One has to perform to win the other's favor, while the other spends every day staring at other people.

But Qin Huanzhang could not say anything.

After all, the more Zhao Qi supports her, the more stable her position will be.

She just didn't believe in the nonsense about being together for life.

Who knows how long Zhao Qi's brain is spinning?

They are husband and wife, not lovers.

It would be sufficient for both parties to cooperate more tacitly. There is really no need to invest too much useless emotions.

Qin Huanzhang’s thoughts.

Marriage is a major matter that is decided by parents’ orders and matchmaker’s words.

The best state for a husband and wife is to treat each other with respect and dignity.

None of them told her that they should love each other and be sweet and loving.

Their marriage itself is inclusive.

In addition to tolerating each other, we must also tolerate each other's family, clan, property, servants, and even all kinds of bad habits of each other, just to achieve rational cooperation.

The kind of love that only exists between you and me can barely be considered the icing on the cake in a marriage. It is okay to have it, but it is also okay not to have it.

Qin Huanzhang feels that people who pursue those embellishments and ignore the essence of marriage will only make their lives a mess.

She would give all her extra feelings to Li Ruyi and not to Zhao Qi.

Zhao Qi had no idea what Qin Huanzhang was thinking and was still feeling moved by himself.

"It's okay, I'll do it!"

Qin Huanzhang felt somewhat helpless and could only hug her tighter, fearing that the other party would notice her disgusted expression.

She and Zhao Qi are husband and wife, and they have to continue living even if their love is gone.

But Li Ruyi and Han Shian are lovers.

If one day, one party betrays their love, the relationship will break down immediately.

It is the beauty of fragility that reveals the value of love.

But Qin Huanzhang never felt that he should have it.

That kind of absolute trust and uncertainty about the future only made her feel hesitant and uneasy.

She would rather hold on to power and be despised by her husband than give up everything about herself just to be liked by him.

Humans are destined to plunder because of their bestiality. Even couples will compromise when fighting for resources.

And Qin Huanzhang never wants to be the one who compromises on interests!

Zhao Qi seemed to have suddenly found his man's self-esteem, and he patted Qin Huanzhang on the shoulder.

"I'm sorry, I made you feel wronged before, I won't do that again!"

Qin Huanzhang bit his back teeth and nodded.

"I don't feel wronged to have what you said today!"

She sighed in her heart. When it comes to manipulating people's hearts, Li Ruyi is indeed frighteningly good at it.

Although the current situation is somewhat different from what she expected, she has to admit that this trend is perfect for Qin Huanzhang.

A name can solve Qin Huanzhang's hidden danger and let her have no worries.

Qin Huanzhang was very fortunate!

Fortunately, Zhao Qi is a little loser and cannot win the favor of those women.

Otherwise, if there were a few more people like Li Ruyi, she would not be able to cope with them!

As for Chen Panpan, although she is a trouble, it is only a small trouble after all.

As long as Zhao Qi fails to get rid of Han Shian, a woman like Chen Panpan will never be able to enter the Zhao family again.

As for other women, Qin Huanzhang doesn't care.

She would always appear generous in front of outsiders, but behind closed doors she would pull Zhao Qi aside and cry to him, using this moral flaw to snatch more rights from him. Then when she opened the door again, the husband and wife would become one, and the concubine would be a plaything, and they would not let anyone laugh at them.
