If it were any other man who knew how to coax someone, they would probably say right away, “I think you look good,” when they heard the question. However, Qi Zhenbai was calm, reserved and stern. As if cherishing words like they were gold, the only thing he said after a moment of silence was, “Nothing!”
With that, the atmosphere in the car settled into a strange silence.
Chi Shuyan said nothing to the man next to her and continued to look at the tall buildings outside the car as she thought about what had happened at the film premiere tonight. She was so absorbed in her thoughts that she didn’t notice the man’s eyes on her from time to time.
Chi Shuyan only realized that she had arrived home when the car stopped outside the familiar villa. She hurriedly came back to her senses, tilted her head, and thanked the man beside her as she opened the car door and prepared to get out.
“Wait!” The man’s deep voice suddenly rang out. Chi Shuyan paused and couldn’t help but recall that she was still holding his jacket. Had she really listened to him and taken his jacket?!!
But thinking about how he had helped send her back, it wasn’t a big deal. She immediately handed it over and said indifferently, “Here’s your jacket. Thank you for your help tonight. I’m getting out of the car first!”
Qi Zhenbai didn’t take the jacket for a long time. He stared at her deeply with a hint of sadness in his eyes. He pursed his thin lips tightly and he didn’t speak.
Chi Shuyan couldn’t help but feel a little guilty under the man’s gaze. If it were someone else who had sent her home, she would have invited them in for a cup of tea or two out of gratitude, and wouldn’t be so distant. It was just that her relationship with the man next to her was a little complicated. In order to prevent their relationship from becoming even more complicated and to avoid any misunderstandings, she could only draw a clear line between them. Although it was a little unreasonable, it would be good for both of them.
Seeing that the other party didn’t take the jacket, Chi Shuyan simply put it on his lap and turned around to get out of the car. As soon as she turned around, the man stared at her bare white back, and his expressionless face turned black and livid again. Thinking that his wife wasn’t the only one who lived in the villa, he put the jacket on her again and said in a strong yet gentle tone, “Put it on!”
As the man spoke, he kept staring at her. Even without turning her head, Chi Shuyan felt a scorching gaze on her back.
This man’s fawning behavior was simply too obvious. For a moment, Chi Shuyan didn’t know whether to refuse or just leave. When she turned her head, she suddenly met that unfathomable, deep and complicated gaze. Chi Shuyan immediately looked away, and no longer tried to return his jacket.
Fine, she should stop quibbling here. If she continued, the two of them might be entangled for too long. After thinking about it, she could return the suit jacket to him through someone else.
Chi Shuyan also nodded and thanked the man. “Okay, I’ll return your jacket to you tomorrow. I’ll get out of the car first!”
She got out of the car swiftly. The man’s scorching gaze was still on her. Chi Shuyan originally wanted to go in right away, but when she thought about how he had sent her back out of the goodness of his heart even though they were no longer in a relationship, she didn’t feel right. Hence, before she left, she added, “Thanks for tonight. Be careful on the road!”
The words were pretty indifferent, but they made Qi Zhenbai’s heart skip a beat. He was flattered and rolled down the window. Under the light, his wife looked a little ethereal because of her exquisite makeup. She was very beautiful; he couldn’t get enough of her no matter how he looked at her. If it were in the past, it would have been fine no matter how much he looked. Given their current relationship, however, Qi Zhenbai didn’t dare look too much. He restrained his thoughts and his face was cold. His eyes shifted slightly, and he instructed calmly, “Hurry and go in!”
Chi Shuyan nodded and turned around to leave, but Qi Zhenbai inexplicably panicked. By the time he came back to his senses, he had already grabbed her wrist. Seeing his wife suddenly frown, Qi Zhenbai, who had always been calm and steady, felt a rare sense of uneasiness and inexplicable fluster. After all, it was rare for his wife to treat him well. Qi Zhenbai was also afraid that she would argue with him more. He suddenly thought of something and explained, “I have nothing to do with that Miss Zhuang!”
After saying that, he let go and said in a deep voice, “Okay, go in!”
Chi Shuyan: …
On the other side, Ruan Shenglin, who had returned home, was no longer smiling, and looked distracted. Yang Kun was worried, so he came back with him. The blow they had suffered tonight was too big, and Manager Yang Kun’s expression was also very strange. Xu Tong saw the strange expressions on their faces and thought that something had happened at the press conference today, but given how reliable her husband was as well as Brother Kun’s capability, Xu Tong wasn’t too worried. She came out and asked, “Brother Kun, Shenglin, what’s wrong? Did something happen?”
Ruan Shenglin and Yang Kun’s faces changed drastically at her question. However, they were both part of the entertainment circle. For Film Emperor Ruan Shenglin in particular, his acting carried through to real life, and he didn’t want his wife to worry. He immediately regained his composure and smiled. He patted the spot next to him on the couch and told her to sit down, then said that he was fine.
Yang Kun also hurriedly echoed, “Tong Tong, come and sit! Shenglin is fine!”
Because Xu Tong had a good temper and was a good person, and Ruan Shenglin had a very good relationship with Yang Kun, his manager, Yang Kun now treated Xu Tong like his own sister. He didn’t want her to worry too much while she was pregnant, so he echoed Shenglin and didn’t dare tell her what happened tonight.
Xu Tong didn’t think much of it. Because she was pregnant, Xu Tong felt that it wasn’t good for the child if she sat all the time, so she usually tried to walk around when she could. Most of the time, Aunt Cai accompanied her outside in the courtyard. It was just that in the past two days, her stomach had started cramping. She didn’t want Shenglin to worry. He was usually very busy, and she couldn’t help him, nor did she want to cause him trouble. She even had Aunt Cai accompany her to the hospital, but the doctor hadn’t seen anything from the ultrasound last night. Xu Tong couldn’t help but wonder if she had been walking too much recently, which might not be good for the child.
So, as soon as Yang Kun spoke, Xu Tong walked over and was about to bend and sit down next to Shenglin, when she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her stomach which was worse than anything she had felt before. How could a delicate girl like Xu Tong endure this pain? Her face instantly turned pale and scrunched up. Cold sweat gradually broke out on her forehead. After a long while, she squeezed out, “It hurts…”
