Chapter 79: I Am Her Husband, Is This Reason Sufficient 1
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Song Chuyi carried her coldly and walked towards the changing room.
Her body was protected firmly in his embrace and the big shirt covered even her butt securely.
His steps were fast.
Wen Tong quickly chased over, looking straight at him. “Sir, who are you and what are you trying to do?”
Song Chuyi looked at the assistant who didn’t seem much older than Changqing and the viciousness in his eyes increased. He opened his thin lips and said word by word, “Who am I? I am her husband—is this reason sufficient?”
Wen Tong was astonished. Changqing bit her fingers and was also shocked by the four words: I am her husband.
Song Chuyi walked past the assistant with wide strides and kicked open the door of the changing room with one leg, immediately throwing Changqing on the couch.
Changqing was shocked and tightly grabbed onto the shirt that was covering her subconsciously in case it slipped and exposed herself.
He laughed coldly and locked the changing room door with a click. Looking at the woman before him who had shrunk into a ball, his chest moved up and down with anger. “What are you trying to cover? Don’t you like to reveal yourself to others? Are shrinking like this now to put on an act for me to see?”
He was going mad. He hadn’t even taken a good look at his own wife, but so many other men had already seen her. “Yan Changqing, is there something wrong with your brain? As the daughter-in-law of the Song family, how dare you shoot this kind of thing? Everyone in the Song family knows you’re my wife. Are you trying to turn me into a laughing stock?”
He was furious. His temples were pulsing with anger.
Changqing, who was originally a coward, was already so frightened by him that she almost shrank into the slits of the couch. However, his words stung and were exceptionally unpleasant. Upon thinking about the shame she endured previously, her eyes stung and started to redden. She felt embarrassed and aggrieved. “What are you shouting at me for? You didn’t say I couldn’t shoot…”
“Just use your brain to think and you would’ve known you couldn’t shoot.” Song Chuyi’s cold gaze seemed to spit out fire. He was furious.
“I’m brainless, okay?” Changqing was also getting angry. Even Yan Lei was never this fierce to her even when she was young.
Her tears started trickling down disobediently. She used the back of her hand to wipe them away and she choked while saying stubbornly, “Being a celebrity is like this; if you don’t want to expose anything, people will still point fingers at you. I didn’t want to expose so much when I accepted this commercial. I didn’t want to shoot it anymore but I had no choice because it would be a breach of contract. I knew deep inside that you would look down on me. Others have watches, video game and cosmetics commercials, but I’m only offered menstrual pads, dieting products and stocking commercials because they think I look too sensual and I’m only just a host, so I have limited commercial offers. I want to earn money too, and the little earnings from the station aren’t enough for me to spend and I don’t want to ask for money from my family. My dad’s company isn’t doing well either…”
The more Changqing spoke, the more upset she felt, lowering her head as she cried. Her tears trickled onto his shirt successively.
In the small changing room, the sound of a woman sobbing echoed.
Looking down from this angle, Song Chuyi could only see the red tip of her nose and her wet cheeks reflecting the light.
He rubbed his brows which were tightly knitted.
He couldn’t stand women crying the most, but he was also always at a loss when women cried.
Especially when it came to Yan Changqing, who originally looked like she was made of water. Now that she was crying, it seemed as though she was going to melt. Even her sobbing was frail and soft, and with her small, exposed shoulders moving up and down, it was difficult for him to withstand it.
“Alright, stop crying. Just don’t do it again next time,” Song Chuyi said, lowering his tone.
Changqing continued to cry with her aggrieved little look. She was very upset.
She also wasn’t putting on an act; she was really crying.
Firstly, because she got scolded by Song Chuyi, and secondly, because of the shame she went through outside.
Song Chuyi felt like his head was about to explode. He bent down and sat beside her, patting her soft and smooth shoulders.
Changqing brushed his arm away with one hand and sobbed, saying sulkily, “Don’t touch me.”
Song Chuyi’s face darkened as he bellowed deeply, “Stop crying.”
Those two words were said impactfully, sounding like muffled thunder.
Changqing was so frightened that her sobs were stuck in her throat. She raised her wet face and looked at him uneasily and fearfully. Her nose and eyes were all red and the makeup on her face was all smudged. She had a patch of white and a patch of black around her eyes, making her look like a panda.
The corners of Song Chuyi’s mouth twitched. He took out his phone from his pocket and switched to the front camera to let her have a look.
Changqing’s gaze followed and she took a look. She was dumbstruck when she saw herself on the phone.
She forgot about crying, and she tried to cover her face as best as she could and turned to the side.
As she turned and wiped, the result was that the more she wiped, the more she looked like a dirty little cat.
Song Chuyi couldn’t bear to watch on. He grabbed her shoulders and turned her over forcefully.
“Don’t look at me…” Changqing quickly lowered her head.
She had lost all face today.
“Don’t move around,” Song Chuyi warned in a deep voice. He lowered his head and took out a white handkerchief from his pocket and started wiping her face.
Changqing was startled. She carefully lifted her head up and saw Song Chuyi’s serious pair of eyes, high nose bridge and thin, red lips.
She stopped breathing for a while.
His face suddenly closed in and the unique scent of his breath together with the fragrance of grapefruit lingered around the tip of her nose.
Changqing lowered her head again. A rush of heat spread from her ears all the way to her face.
Song Chuyi also noticed it. After wiping her face clean, her face wasn’t clean and white. Instead, like the sunset, her face seemed to be draped with a red muslin, emitting a blurred radiance.
He was startled. He lowered his head and kissed away the last teardrop on her cheek.
Changqing blanked out. When she came back to her senses, she felt embarrassed from inside out.
“Get changed first. I’ll wait for you outside.” Song Chuyi placed the handkerchief back into his pocket and stood up to walk out.
Changqing covered her blushing face. Why’s it so hot?
In the studio, Li Shaobin was huffing on the cigarette that CEO Peng just lit up for him arrogantly.
CEO Peng asked with a smile, “Young Master Li, what brought you here to my company?”
Li Shaobin narrowed his eyes and puffed out a mouthful of smoke on his face. “What brought me here? Can’t you tell? Yan Changqing is my brother’s woman. Does Yu Qiong want to close down already? How dare you get my brother’s woman to shoot something like this. Why don’t you just f*cking change to shooting third category films [1. films containing sexual or violent content] instead?”
CEO Peng looked embarrassed. “Young Master Li, you’ve misunderstood us. We’re a lingerie company. Aren’t all the commercials of lingerie companies the same? We mainly focus on sexiness. Yan Changqing has a good figure and that was the criteria on which we chose her. Besides, she agreed to it herself. It’s all written clearly in black and white.”
“Are you talking to me about black and white?” Li Shaobin chuckled. “I’ve settled numerous conflicts that arose from contracts. In my eyes, anything in black and white is bullsh*t.”
As he said that, he stood up. His slender body stood at almost 1.9meters. CEO Peng only reached his shoulders and could immediately feel the immense pressure. “Young Master Li, then you…”
“Let me tell you the truth—this commercial can’t be shot.” Li Shaobin patted his shoulders gently, his chuckling tone brought out an eerie vibe. “If you want compensation for the breach of contract, that will be impossible. Actually, I know you will only lose the money for hiring these people for the shoot and the time wasted to look for another person to endorse your product. This little bit of money is actually nothing to you, CEO Peng. Of course, I can’t be unreasonable. We all have our own rules to abide by. Tell you what—you can view it like I, Li Shaobin, owe you a favor. How about that?”
CEO Peng still felt a little pity. After all, he had seen many female celebrities and hadn’t seen one who exuded such an aura like Yan Changqing. He initially wanted to try the unspoken rule on her but it looked like there was no chance.
After all, a favor from Li Shaobin alone was something many people could only wish for. In business, there were many things that still had to rely on contact with the underworld and Li Shaobin was a ruthless figure in the underworld. Many wished to have this opportunity but could never get it.
“Sure. One word from you, Young Master Li, and I’ll sell this favor to you,” CEO Peng said with a smile.
When they were almost done, Song Chuyi returned and went straight to Zheng Qing’s camera as though there was nobody around.
Zheng Qing was anxious. “Aye, you… you… don’t meddle with it.”
Song Chuyi pushed him away, took the camera down and flipped it open. The filming hadn’t started, but many photographs were taken and the poses were so alluring that it made his eyes surge with lust.
“I’m taking this card.” He took out the memory card.
“That won’t do.” Zheng Qing was annoyed. “I still have lots of material on it.”
“You can always find your materials again, but if your hand is crippled, you can’t ever fix it again.” Li Shaobin walked over like a gangster, whispering a threat by his ear, “You’re just someone who shoots a commercial, yet you dared to challenge my brother. Do you believe I’ll make it impossible for you to survive?”
Zheng Qing’s lips turned pale.
“Director Zheng, forget it, forget it.” CEO Peng hurried to make peace. “Isn’t it just a card?”
Zheng Qing didn’t need his persuasion and was already so frightened he didn’t dare to say another word.
Wen Tong watched with her mouth wide open at the side.
F*ck, this husband of Changqing’s was a little too powerful.
When Changqing came out after changing, Wen Tong immediately went over and pinched her little waist, saying hatefully, “You lass, when did you have a husband? Why don’t I know about it?”
Changqing shuddered from her pinching.
Wen Tong continued to ask, “Also, what does your husband do? That friend of his isn’t simple; even CEO Peng is so polite to him.”
“I’ll tell you later.” Changqing made eyes at her.
Song Chuyi walked towards her. “Let’s go.”
He walked in front and Changqing followed behind him like a little wife.
Li Shaobin walked in big strides and patted her shoulder. “Aye, tell me—is it because Old Song is always very stingy with you, so you had no choice but to come and shoot a lingerie commercial?”
“No…” Changqing almost fell from his pat. He was very strong.
She looked weakly at this man. He had nice features but the gold chain hanging on his neck detracted from his overall look. One look and you knew he wasn’t a good person. She had never interacted with someone like that. His look scared her; he wasn’t someone you should trifle with.
“If so, why did you still shoot it?” Li Shaobin looked at her from the corners of his eyes. “Yu Qiong’s CEO Peng is famous for being a lecher. Usually, when I see him at those entertainment places, he has a different woman beside him every day. Though he changes women frequently, I heard his thing is very short and really cannot make it…”
Changqing was dazed. Her face was so red it seemed as though she was about to bleed. Wen Tong also felt awkward upon hearing that.
Song Chuyi frowned and turned back to stare at him. “Li Shaobin, can you talk less? Also, what was your hand doing just now?”
Li Shaobin was dazed. “Can’t I even pat her?”
“Can you pat someone else’s wife as and when you like?” Song Chuyi grabbed Changqing’s arm and pulled her to his side.
Changqing felt a sweet sense of warmth and leaned closer to him subconsciously. She was really a little afraid of this Li Shaobin, especially when he talked. He was too dirty.
Li Shaobin folded his arms lazily. “Well done. You just abandoned me after achieving your goal.”
Song Chuyi still had his cold face and was still angry.
When they entered the lift, he asked Changqing, “What plans do you have in the afternoon?”
“I have to go to the broadcasting station to record a show,” Changqing replied softly, “There’s a broadcasting station dinner gathering at night.”
“It’s almost noon. Join me for lunch first,” Song Chuyi said it like it was an order.
Changqing looked at Wen Tong and Wen Tong said, “I still have something to do. Changqing, you go ahead but you have to be at the broadcasting station before two in the afternoon. Don’t forget you still have to rehearse.”
“Mm, okay.” Changqing nodded.
At the carpark, after Wen Tong left, Changqing sat in the more than 20 million Bugatti she saw in the morning.
Li Shaobin was driving while she sat in the back with Song Chuyi. The seats were wide and comfortable.
However, after the car engine started, Changqing started to feel uncomfortable because Li Shaobin was driving too fast, turning around corners in that narrow carpark filled with cars.
Her body swung into Song Chuyi’s embrace. He held onto her and that made her less afraid.
“Your… your friend, does he always drive this fast? It’s too dangerous.” Changqing suddenly felt a little worried for Song Chuyi. If he always hung out with this person and rode with him often, he might get into an accident easily.
She hugged him tightly and whispered into his ear, “I feel… you should ride with him less often; it’s not safe.”
Song Chuyi looked at the little woman snuggled up to his chest and curled his lips up in a bewitching smile. He said, “I’ll take note.”
“But… How did you come to befriend someone like this? I’m not badmouthing your friend; it’s just that your characters seem very different.” Changqing’s body was swung around by the car again. This time, she had no choice but to grip onto the shirt behind her. Her face blushed even more. “You see, you’re a doctor and should be the ‘top scorer’ type while one look at him and you can tell he’s rubbish at studies, and he looks like he mixes around in the underworld…”
“Are you sure you’re not badmouthing him?” Song Chuyi raised his brows. “But you’re right—he is indeed from the underworld.”
Changqing opened her mouth so wide you could stuff an egg inside.
Never would she have thought that Song Chuyi would be brothers with someone from the underworld.
She had better keep her mouth shut. She should never offend someone from the underworld.
The car was moving at high speed and it took them only 10 minutes before they arrived at the carpark of a restaurant.
Li Shaobin walked in like it was his home and he opened the door to a suite. A woman with a devil’s figure walked in with a smile and said, “Young Master Li, Young Master Song, weren’t you two out to sea today? Why’d you come here to pass the time? Yo, who’s this? You even brought a pretty lady.”
“Got delayed by some matters and didn’t go.” Li Shaobin pointed at Changqing while lighting up a cigarette and introduced her. “My new sister-in-law. Let me tell you, today, she’s an even more important guest than me. You guys better serve her well, otherwise, Old Song will definitely break my neck.”
Song Chuyi swept him a glance. “I feel like breaking your neck right now.”
The sexy woman took a look at Changqing and didn’t ask anything. Instead, she only covered her mouth and laughed delicately. “Young Master Song has a wife now. Who knows how many ladies in Northern City are going to be heartbroken?”
“Don’t even mention the ladies in Northern City—even I’m heartbroken.” Li Shaobin snorted while he blew out some smoke. “I even invited a prestigious chef to the yacht in the afternoon, thinking of having a romantic date with our Young Master Song. In the end… aye, My heart’s now broken to pieces.”
He sighed faintly.
Changqing tried to hold in her laughter while blushing.
The sexy woman also chuckled. “Young Master Li is still so humorous.”
The menu was passed to Changqing. She only ordered two dishes and the rest were arranged by the sexy woman in the kitchen.
“You guys… come here often?” Chuyi looked at Song Chuyi. That woman kept calling them young master and sounded really sweet.
“I’m too busy and have only been here a few times while Shaobin comes more frequently.” Song Chuyi stood up and opened the windows. The wind blew in and the smell of smoke dissipated.
“I’m going to the washroom.” Changqing stood up and left.
Li Shaobin glanced at her behind and clicked his tongue, saying, “That body, that butt, what a little vixen.”
Song Chuyi swept a cold glance at him.
Li Shaobin was peeling fruit when he asked curiously, “Old Song, you’ve really not gone to bed with her yet? I don’t believe it. You’re too strong. If it were me, I would definitely be unable to hold it in. When I went to the studio with you just now, I almost had a nosebleed. F*ck, that was too sexy, those boobs—they’re at least a C cup…”
“Shaobin…” Song Chuyi placed his teacup down heavily.
Li Shaobin froze and saw the dense haze in his eyes.
The suite was silent. Li Shaobin let out a cough. “Old Song, don’t be angry. It was a slip of the tongue. I thought…”
“Some women can be discussed, but your wife should never be discussed with other men. Shaobin, I hope you understand,” Song Chuyi said in a low tone.
“Mm, mm.” Li Shaobin blinked and nodded.
“I have to go to the washroom too.” Song Chuyi left the suite.
Li Shaobin patted his little heart. The atmosphere was so tense just now. What a scare.
The washroom.
Changqing came out after washing her hands and saw Song Chuyi walking towards her. His handsome features didn’t seem to have a single trace of warmth.
Her heart thumped and she started, “You’re also here to use the washroom…”
She didn’t have time to complete her sentence when a strong force pulled her back into the ladies’.
The door was shut and locked.
Changqing was confused and could only look blankly at this man in the ladies’. Although the toilets here only had one cubicle, the sign outside made it clear this was the ladies’.
“What do you want… Mm…”
