Bai Qing seemed to choke for a moment before he continued, looking at Su Yanyi, "They’re all better than me?"
Su Yanyi also gave Bai Qing a deep look, feeling that this person was seriously ill. After so many years, he was still asking such a question. One is a friend, the other is a husband; she would be foolish to say that a friend was better than her husband!
"Of course, they are!" If he came asking to be knocked down a peg, she was definitely going to satisfy that wish.
Bai Qing’s face finally showed a slight bit of ugliness as he couldn’t help but glance at Qin Jiran not far away, but he saw Qin Jiran chatting happily with several people around him, not paying the slightest attention to them here.
"He doesn’t mind you chatting with me?" Bai Qing finally decided not to seek out his own hurt but to start trying to hurt Su Yanyi’s feelings instead.
Su Yanyi also followed with a glance at Qin Jiran, seeing the same scene as Bai Qing had.
"Why should he mind?" Su Yanyi looked at Bai Qing weirdly. She was just chatting with a friend, although this friend seemed a bit mentally unwell, but there was no need to mind anything, was there? Did he expect to keep a constant vigil over her? She wasn’t going to get lost.
"If you’re with other men and he doesn’t get jealous or mind, it means he doesn’t care about you that much," Bai Qing explained earnestly. He wasn’t trying to sow discord on purpose; it was just what he truly believed.
If Yanyi were his woman, he would definitely keep a close eye on her at all times, always put Yanyi first, be very concerned about her, and keep any man with designs on her at bay. That was the behavior expected when one liked someone, the possessiveness that came with loving someone.
Yet, that man was only focused on his own conversation, without even a glance at Su Yanyi, let alone ignoring his presence altogether. He didn’t seem to care about Yanyi at all, so he definitely couldn’t truly like her.
Bai Qing felt that even as Su Yanyi’s friend, it was hard for him to be satisfied with a man like Qin Jiran. Yanyi deserved better, someone stronger than himself at least, and he certainly didn’t think that Qin Jiran, an entertainer, was better than himself.
Su Yanyi blinked adorably, looking at Bai Qing even more cutely, truly a bit stimulated by his words.
"Did you leave the house today... without taking your medicine?" Su Yanyi asked uncertainly, feeling that this man’s way of thinking was different from normal people, surely a result of not taking his medicine.
If she were merely talking to a man, and Qin Jiran were to get jealous, he would end up drowning in a vat of vinegar.
Su Yanyi was not the kind of woman who liked to see men get jealous over her. She preferred sensible men who wouldn’t make unfounded fusses. Qin Jiran’s attitude, in her opinion, was a sign of trust, which made her feel very satisfied and comfortable.
Bai Qing’s face darkened a bit, but he still answered very seriously, "I’m not sick, I don’t need to take medicine."
Upon hearing this, Su Yanyi couldn’t help but laugh, but it was a cold laugh accompanied by twitching lips.
"There are great cultural differences between countries. If possible, you should still see a doctor," Su Yanyi suggested, not admitting to herself that this was sarcasm because she thought she was being factual.
Bai Qing was not foolish enough to misinterpret Su Yanyi’s meaning, his gaze darkened as he said unwillingly to give up, "If you are truly happy, I am willing to give up, but Qin Jiran, he’s just an actor, you two are not suitable."
"I thought love had nothing to do with profession." Perhaps sensing her own low EQ, Su Yanyi had done some homework, researching many materials on love, so to speak so insightfully was not an accident, of course, it would be even better if she could be more emotionally intelligent when dealing with Qin Jiran.
