Chapter 1271: Qi Zhenbai Shows Weakness
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
As the man spoke, he stared sharply at the two bags in her hand. His thin lips were pursed tightly and he didn’t speak. His eyes were like blades that wanted to pierce holes through the two bags. His gaze was very unfriendly.
However, the man hid his emotions well. If one didn’t look carefully, they really wouldn’t see anything.
Although Chi Shuyan noticed his strange gaze, she didn’t think much of it. There was just some surprise and doubt in her eyes. If memory served her correctly, she had clarified things with him last night. This man had told her to “get lost,” so why was he looking for her this morning?
Since they had already broken up, why did he care where she had gone last night?
Wasn’t this man interfering too much?
!!
Chi Shuyan wanted to be blunt, but she met the man’s inexplicably gloomy gaze and felt that it wasn’t good to make a scene so early in the morning. In fact, she wanted to ignore him and walk around him to enter the school so as not to spoil her mood.
However, she thought about how the Qi family had treated her well in the past, so it was on their account that she replied, “Something happened at a teacher’s house last night, and he called me, so I went over!”
Qi Zhenbai wasn’t satisfied with this answer, and was even more unhappy with the woman’s distant and cold tone. If he hadn’t found out from Chef Li last night where she was and what happened, Qi Zhenbai didn’t dare imagine how he would have felt about her staying out all night.
Even so, when Qi Zhenbai found out that she hadn’t returned to the villa all night and had stayed at another man’s house, the veins on his forehead still throbbed.
But he was here to make up with her today, not to quarrel. Qi Zhenbai suppressed the anger he had been holding in all night, pinched the s.p.a.ce between his eyebrows, and calmed down. For once, he showed weakness and said, “Wife, can we make up? I’ll pretend I never heard what you said last night. Can we get along like before?”
This man’s good looks gave him an advantage. Seeing the usually powerful man in front of her suddenly show weakness, Chi Shuyan was stunned. If it were any other woman, their hearts would have softened long ago. However, Chi Shuyan was different. She felt that she had a pretty tough heart. She had already lived one lifetime; she wasn’t some soft-hearted little girl who could be coaxed with a few words. Instead, she was a lot more rational.
It wasn’t that she wanted to settle old scores with the man in front of her; she just felt that the two of them weren’t compatible.
Rather than get married and then divorce in the future, they might as well cut ties now. Besides, she really wasn’t in the mood to talk about relations.h.i.+ps now.
So, Chi Shuyan refused without thinking or any hesitation. “Don’t. Really, don’t. A breakup is a breakup. Young Master Qi, I believe you aren’t someone who drags things out.”
Chi Shuyan didn’t care how gloomy and unsightly the man’s face was at that moment. Since they had already broken up, there was no need for her to be afraid. She thought about it and felt that she had made herself clear last night. This man shouldn’t come looking for her again after this. Moreover, he didn’t seem like someone who would drag things out.
When it came down to it, he still had some feelings for her. Chi Shuyan looked at him with a complicated expression.
If she hadn’t had an extra lifetime of experience, she probably wouldn’t be able to be so decisive and heartless. After all, she had experienced life and death already. What couldn’t she see through?
But getting back together just like that wasn’t the way to go. After thinking about it, she added, “Qi Zhenbai, I really don’t think we’re compatible! So, let’s forget about reconciling. I hope we can…” part on good terms. She couldn’t say the last bit, mainly because the man’s face was too scary and ugly at that moment. The veins on his forehead bulged one by one. He was expressionless, but that was even more terrifying than if he really had an expression on his face.
Chi Shuyan couldn’t help but wonder if she was being too heartless. After all, they had been together before. Even if she wanted to cut ties, there was no need to say it out loud. Besides, she just didn’t want to be in a relations.h.i.+p with the man in front of her; she didn’t plan to draw a line with the Qi family. She still wanted to interact with Grandpa Qi, Mother Qi, Qi Hao and the others.
After thinking for a moment, she felt compelled to say a few good words. She added, “I also hope you find the right woman for you in the future! May you have a lifetime of happiness, and have children sooner!”
Her words were sincere. Although she might feel a little sour at the thought that the man in front of her would marry someone else and have children in the future, their paths had completely diverged ever since she decided to take the path of cultivation.
She looked at the man in front of her. Given his looks, he definitely wouldn’t lack women in the future. Thinking this, Chi Shuyan didn’t feel guilty anymore and looked at him calmly.
What she didn’t know was that after she finished speaking, Qi Zhenbai was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood. He clenched his fists behind his back and his bones creaked. His joints were stark white, and his face could no longer just be described as gloomy.
At this point, Chi Shuyan had nothing else to say to the man. She deliberately raised her wrist to look at the time, then nodded at him. “It’s getting late. I have to go to cla.s.s. We’ll talk again when we’re free! We can’t be a couple, but we can still be friends!”
She was definitely just saying the last sentence casually. It sounded nice, but she was too heartless!
