1734 Adding Fuel to the Fire

Chi Shuyan was about to lose her temper. Things had been going quite smoothly, and Jing Hengran had let go of his feelings for her. Who would have thought that the two cousins would suddenly appear? This made things even more complicated; it would make her relationship with Jing Hengran very awkward in the future.

Also, what did the man mean about being curious about her chat with Jing Hengran?

As Chi Shuyan suppressed the fire in her heart, the man retorted coldly, “What? Do you think I came too early?”

When Qi Zhenbai said this, he didn’t look at the woman in the car, but at a certain man in the rearview mirror. Seeing that the other party’s eyes were still fixed on his woman, the viciousness in his eyes didn’t diminish. His face was dark and terrifying. The knuckles on his fingers that were gripping the car door turned faintly white as he lost control.

Chi Shuyan didn’t notice the abnormality in the man, and only choked at his mocking words. She wasn’t good at arguing, nor did she want to argue with this man in public. She didn’t know what to say at that moment. By the time she came back to her senses, the man had already walked around to the other side, got into the car, and closed the door in one go. The atmosphere in the car couldn’t be any more quiet and strange.

The man drove expressionlessly and didn’t say a word on the way. Occasionally, his inexplicably gloomy and cold face was lit up by headlights from outside.

Chi Shuyan was still fuming at first and didn’t want to talk or pay attention to the man, but when he didn’t say anything, she felt a little guilty. After all, she was the one who had lied about eating dinner with a friend. Who would have thought that she would be caught red-handed?

But she couldn’t bring herself to apologize and explain like this. Didn’t all men have to give in to women a little? She had already registered her marriage with this man; how could he still suspect that she had something going on with another man?

Chi Shuyan forced herself to calm down. She waited for the man to stop the car at the traffic lights up ahead before taking the initiative to make nice.

She raised her foot and kicked the man’s leg a few times, wanting him to pay attention to her.

Unfortunately, the man next to her didn’t move at all and didn’t even glance in her direction. Chi Shuyan was also furious this time, and the fire in her chest surged.

She felt that her temper was pretty good, and she would always admit her mistake when it was time. However, Qi Zhenbai’s temper was simply thousands or hundreds of times worse than hers. Making him lower his head once was simply harder than ascending to the heavens!

Chi Shuyan was furious. Seeing that he ignored her completely, she simply didn’t take the initiative to make nice with him anymore. She leaned against the car window and said nothing.

Who knew if it was because the weather was good today, but she fell asleep at some point. When her man stopped the car, she almost fell forward at the inertia. The man next to her quickly steadied her, and Chi Shuyan immediately woke up.

She was still muddle-headed and had forgotten about her quarrel with Qi Zhenbai. She stared blankly at the familiar villa outside the car window. “We’re home? So soon?”

The man didn’t reply to her, but tapped on WeChat and put his phone on speaker. Chi Shuyan heard Qi Hao’s nagging and worried voice. “Cousin, you have to take good care of Sister-in-law. She’s young and easily tricked by scumbags. Sister-in-law was coaxed into smiling a lot just now. You can’t let your guard down. At her age, she usually looks at men’s faces. This scumbag is quite good-looking.

“Also, this guy never took his eyes off Sister-in-law during dinner just now. I won’t believe it if he says that he doesn’t have any feelings for her. At most, he’s lying to Sister-in-law, but he can’t fool me. You and Sister-in-law are doing so well. I promise I’ll settle this person for you!”

As soon as Chi Shuyan woke up, she heard Qi Hao tattletale to Qi Zhenbai. Her vision turned black and she turned pale with fright.

She clearly had nothing to do with Jing Hengran at all.

This kid remembered his good cousin, but didn’t remember that his good sister-in-law had once saved his life?

Chi Shuyan sneered inwardly. She was so angry at Qi Hao’s words that her head hurt terribly. Why hadn’t she felt that Qi Hao liked to tattletale so much before?

She had originally been considering letting this kid off, but now that she thought about it, there was no need. She was ‘shallow,’ after all.

As she thought that, she subconsciously snuck a glance at the man next to her. Sure enough, the man’s face in the car was getting darker and darker at that moment. His eyebrows were frosty and his face was terrifyingly cold and still.

Chi Shuyan coughed softly. Afraid that the matter would blow up, she was about to explain, but the man next to her didn’t give her a chance at all.

He had already opened the car door and gotten out.

Chi Shuyan could only follow the man back to the bedroom. Before she sat down, she immediately poured Qi Zhenbai a cup of water and handed it over with a gentle smile. “Are you thirsty? Have some water first.”

But the man ignored her and walked gloomily to the bathroom. Not long after, there was the sound of splashing water!

Outside the bedroom, Chi Shuyan was aggrieved. She clearly hadn’t done anything, so why did it look like she had been caught in the act?

Thinking of Qi Hao, that rascal, Chi Shuyan gritted her teeth in anger again. She really wasn’t willing to be misunderstood. Ignoring the fact that the man was showering, she walked to the bathroom door and knocked. The sound of running water didn’t stop. Chi Shuyan guessed that he was midway through his shower. After thinking about it, she simply retreated to the bedroom; they would talk about it later.

She was about to turn around, when the bathroom door opened with a bang. The man was wet all over. He was only wrapped in a towel as he stood expressionlessly at the bathroom door and looked at her.

Chi Shuyan’s mouth turned dry at this image. She also felt that she was too useless. The two of them had slept together countless times. She had touched the man’s body countless times.

“Have you seen enough?” the man said impatiently.

Chi Shuyan subconsciously shook her head. “Nope!”

Qi Zhenbai: …
