Chapter 1287: Overbearing Man

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Chi Shuyan wasn’t someone who was sloppy at getting things done. She was well aware of what the man was trying to do by bringing Qi Hao over this time, but she really planned to cut ties with him and not pester him anymore.
For other people, there might still be a chance for them to get back together.
But since Chi Shuyan had decided to break up after careful deliberation, she never thought of the possibility of them getting back together again.
The two of them had broken up peacefully, with no one letting the other down; there was no need to reconcile. It could only be said that they weren’t meant to be.
She felt that the two of them had made things clear back then. It was the man in front of her who had broken up with her first. She hadn’t agreed at first, but now that she had finally made up her mind to agree, he suddenly disagreed. Chi Shuyan looked at the furious man in front of her and felt that he was hard to please, so she didn’t plan to do so anymore.!!
Chi Shuyan rubbed her temples and was about to speak, when Qi Hao followed her. His voice trembled as he shouted, “Sis… Sister-in-law, calm down. If there’s a misunderstanding… Let’s sit down and talk!”
Without waiting for Chi Shuyan to speak, Qi Hao said, “Sister-in-law, ever since you got together with my cousin, Grandpa has been especially happy. He’s old now, and if he finds out that you’ve broken up with Cousin, he definitely won’t be able to handle the stimulation.”
Qi Hao hurriedly pretended to be pitiful and continued, “A few days ago, he even had high blood pressure. He fainted once because of my fourth uncle, and he’s only gotten just a little better. If it happens again, I’m really… really afraid…”
At that point, Qi Hao squeezed out a few tears, which made Chi Shuyan’s heart thump.
Chi Shuyan swallowed her heartless words after she heard Qi Hao. For one moment, she looked at the ruthless man in front of her and opened her mouth, completely at a loss for words.
They were locked together for a long while. The taxi driver was a middle-aged woman in her forties. She didn’t know what was going on, but she kept looking back at them. She was still in a hurry to make money, so she hurriedly said, “Young lady, are you still taking a taxi? If not, why don’t you get out first?”
Chi Shuyan’s eyebrows twitched. She was about to tell the woman to drive, but Qi Hao spoke up first. “Big Sis, my sister-in-law isn’t taking the taxi!”
Qi Hao’s mouth was sweet, and he coaxed the driver into chuckling. She didn’t quibble over her time being wasted. Not only did she let Chi Shuyan get out, she also helped to persuade her. “A couple should live well together. Don’t focus on quarreling. It’s not good for your relationship, and not good for the health of the elderly around you!”
Chi Shuyan: …
In the end, the female driver chased Chi Shuyan out of the taxi and said that she wouldn’t ruin their relationship. She probably saw how good-looking Qi Zhenbai was, and so stayed a little longer to talk to him. She even suggested that they have a child; once a couple had a child, their days in the future would be beautiful. It would also be easy for a husband and wife to appreciate each other because of the child.
Hearing the driver’s suggestion, Chi Shuyan’s right eyelid twitched violently. She looked at the man in front of her, whose thin lips were pursed tightly. What husband and wife?
They hadn’t even registered for marriage, so how could they be husband and wife?
And children?
She had never thought of having a child before, let alone now that they had broken up.
She wanted to explain, but in her daze, was pulled away by the man and Qi Hao.
As soon as she got out of the car and the door closed, Qi Zhenbai said something to the driver, and she drove away in the blink of an eye.
Chi Shuyan could only stare as the taxi drove further and further away, feeling helpless and conflicted. She looked at her wrist, which was in a tight grip yet again. She shook it a few times, but couldn’t shake off the hand. She looked up and met the eyes of the tall man in front of her.
The man’s face looked better, but not by much. His stoic face and even eyes were very cold.
The man’s thin lips were still pursed tightly. His face was expressionless and unreadable, but his gaze seemed sharper.
Chi Shuyan had nothing to say to him, and could only stare at him.
Qi Hao had a lot of questions in his heart. For example, how did they break up? Did his cousin do something wrong to disappoint his sister-in-law and make her want to break up?
But this had to do with his cousin, and when he met his cousin’s cold eyes, he got very nervous. How could he really dare ask?
Seeing that his cousin and sister-in-law’s expressions didn’t look good, he was really afraid that they would quarrel in public. He wanted to put in a good word for his cousin in front of his sister-in-law, but before he could speak…
His cousin suddenly picked her up in an agile and overbearing manner, strode in the direction of the car, and stuffed her into it. His series of movements were as smooth as water, and astonishingly quick. The man had good stamina and didn’t even gasp for breath.
By the time Chi Shuyan reacted, she was already sitting in the backseat with Qi Zhenbai.
Chi Shuyan was stupefied. After a while, she tilted her head and glanced at the man, who was busy opening a bottle of mineral water. She pursed her lips and stopped struggling to get out of the car.
The man obviously didn’t want her to get out, and Chi Shuyan couldn’t be bothered to waste time arguing with him. She took some time to accept the fact that she had gotten into his car.
Qi Hao also hurriedly got into the passenger seat and suggested, “Cousin, why don’t we bring Sister-in-law back to the Qi family?”
Chi Shuyan was a little flustered when she heard the words “Qi family.” She then thought of how Qi Hao had mentioned that the old man had fainted because of Fourth Uncle Qi. She couldn’t help but ask, “Haozi, did Grandpa really faint? Did he go to the hospital for a checkup? What did the doctor say?”
When Qi Zhenbai heard his wife’s concern for his grandfather despite her cold words, his thin lips curled up and his cold eyebrows gradually softened.
As for whether or not the old man was fine, he knew best that his cousin had most likely made that up, but it was unexpectedly useful on his wife. Qi Zhenbai glanced at Qi Hao and found him much more pleasing to the eye.
Qi Hao couldn’t help but feel a little guilty at his sister-in-law’s sudden question. In fact, he had indeed been making things up. His grandfather had been in excellent health recently. Although Fourth Uncle Qi had angered him many times, his health wasn’t too bad.
Just as he was thinking about whether to continue talking nonsense or tell his sister-in-law the truth, he suddenly heard his cousin say, “The old man is fine!”
Hearing Qi Zhenbai’s words, Chi Shuyan became even more worried. She made up her mind to refine some Nourishment Pills in a few days and send them to Grandpa. She suddenly thought of the tea leaves which Jing Hengran had given to her earlier. She first opened them and took a look, and found that these tea leaves did indeed contain a bit of spiritual energy, which was especially good for the body. She thought that she should buy some tea sometime, wash it with spiritual energy, and send it to Grandpa.
These tea leaves were from someone else, so it wasn’t good for her to give them away. She thought about testing them out first; who knew, they might be more useful than the Nourishment Pill.
Chi Shuyan was lost in thought. When a bottle of mineral water was held out in front of her, she didn’t think much of it and took a few sips. After taking a few sips, she was about to close the bottle, but she didn’t have the cap.
After confirming that his wife wasn’t thirsty, the man took the bottle of mineral water from her hand and took a few sips, then screwed the cap back on and put it aside.
Qi Zhenbai’s familiar movements almost made Chi Shuyan think that they hadn’t broken up at all and were still together. Qi Hao also saw this scene and finally heaved a sigh of relief.
In any case, his elder cousin’s wife was his sister-in-law. He only acknowledged her. No other woman was worthy of his cousin.
Chi Shuyan was at a loss over what to do about the man next to her. She couldn’t be bothered to argue with him over such a small matter, but she made up her mind to avoid being entangled with him in the future. After all, breaking up wasn’t like playing house.
Moreover, if the two of them really got back together, the problems and clashes in their temperaments would still be there. Their feelings hadn’t been that deep before, and as time passed, the problems between them would definitely appear again. In the future, if their feelings deepened, it would be really difficult and would practically cost their lives to break up, so it was better to cut ties now.
After thinking about the issues between her and the man next to her, she stopped dwelling on it. She tossed the matter to the back of her mind and had the driver drive her to the university. She still had classes in the afternoon.
Qi Zhenbai didn’t object. His eyes fell on the top-quality tea leaves, and a dark look flashed in them.
Qi Hao looked at the tea leaves. The packaging was really nice and looked very high-class. He couldn’t help but ask, “Sister-in-law, where did you buy these tea leaves from? How’s the taste?”
Chi Shuyan replied, “This was a gift. I’ll tell you how it tastes after I try it!”
Without thinking, Qi Hao asked, “Someone gave it to you? A man or a woman?”
