Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Because of the deal, Jing Hengran was in a very good mood. In addition, Chef Li’s cooking was very good. Jing Hengran ate happily and unreservedly. For the first time in his life, he wolfed down the food. If it wasn’t for the fact that there was no spiritual energy in the food, he would have eaten it all. Even if he didn’t finish it, he would pack it up as takeaway. One could imagine how good Chef Li’s cooking was.
At the dining table, Jing Hengran praised Chef Li’s cooking.
Chi Shuyan was happy on Chef Li’s behalf.
Jing Hengran was in a hurry to sign the contract after the meal, so they naturally had to go to the Jing Auction House to do so. However, Chi Shuyan was still able to eat and drink her fill. In addition, Jing Hengran knew how to conduct himself, so Chi Shuyan didn’t have any objections about following him back to the auction house.
But when the two left the restaurant, Chi Shuyan actually ran into Qi Zhenbai, who was making his way to the restaurant.

The other party’s cold and gloomy face was a stark contrast to Chi Shuyan’s smile. It was just that when she saw him, her smile faded a little. She nodded politely at him and planned to walk past him to get into the car and leave.
Who would have thought that just as she brushed past him, he suddenly grabbed her wrist tightly? Chi Shuyan was alarmed and looked up sharply at him.
The other party stared sharply at the man next to her.
She was about to say coldly, “Let go.”
Unexpectedly, she met the man’s bloodshot eyes and tired eyebrows. He had abstruse features, deep eyes, and a straight nose. Under normal circ.u.mstances, this was an impeccable and perfect handsome face, but at that moment, his face was cold and hard. At the same time, it was filled with exhaustion. Coupled with his buzz cut, he looked a little older, but his charm and aura were still the same.
This was undoubtedly an extremely dangerous man who had always occupied a high position.
Jing Hengran met the other party’s sharp and cold eyes that were like a falcon’s, and his heart inexplicably thumped with fear. The man in front of him was clearly an ordinary person, but his sixth sense told him that the man was extremely dangerous.
Jing Hengran’s eyes were very good, and it wasn’t long before he saw that their relations.h.i.+p wasn’t ordinary. He nodded at Chi Shuyan and said that he would wait for her in the car.
When the man got into the car, Qi Zhenbai retracted his gaze. His eyes were also very good. After confirming that the man didn’t have anything more than an ordinary relations.h.i.+p with his wife, his heart, which had been in his throat, inexplicably relaxed. However, at the thought of a strange and handsome man suddenly appearing next to his wife, Qi Zhenbai frowned tightly, his eyes gloomy.
Seeing Jing Hengran take the initiative to not muddy the waters as he got into the car, Chi Shuyan relaxed. She was helpless when she saw how the Qi man grabbed her wrist again. Even if she wanted to, she couldn’t quarrel with him outside Imperial Restaurant or in front of her business partner.
What was going on?
They had clearly broken up. She didn’t know how many times she had said the words “break up,” and she was already tired of it. If she said them any more, it would sound like she was deliberately playing hard to get.
But the man in front of her clearly didn’t take it seriously at all and really wanted to get back together with her.
She really didn’t feel like getting into a relations.h.i.+p right now. Couldn’t this man let her go?
Where was his backbone and temper?
She had already quarreled with him so many times. Chi Shuyan really wished that the man in front of her was more arrogant and looked down on her.
She valued the cooperation with the Jing family very much and couldn’t let this man in front of her ruin it.
Chi Shuyan was a little worried as she stared at the man’s grip on her wrist. She was really afraid that he wouldn’t let go, like before.
Unexpectedly, the man in front of her suddenly loosened his grip. Chi Shuyan was anxious to break free, but the man held onto her. He didn’t exert much strength, and asked expressionlessly, “Is it something urgent? With that man?”
Chi Shuyan ignored his strange tone and hurriedly nodded. She smiled apologetically at Jing Hengran in the car.
The next second, the man blocked her line of sight. His tall and upright figure exuded an inexplicable sense of oppression. He pursed his thin lips tightly and said coldly, “Why are you smiling? You don’t look good when you smile…”
Chi Shuyan had already been feeling a little gloomy at the man running roughshod over her, and she now choked at his poisonous words. She simply didn’t want to waste time on him, and directly spat out coldly, “Get lost, let go. I’m busy!”
Qi Zhenbai wanted to get to the bottom of the matter. He didn’t have the slightest patience for other people’s affairs, but he wanted to know everything about his wife.
However, he knew that even if he wanted to get to the bottom of things, the woman in front of him might not tell him. Thinking of how distant and cold she had been to him lately, Qi Zhenbai was irritated. In the end, he couldn’t help but ask, “Who is he?”
Chi Shuyan didn’t want to answer the man at all. She stared intently at his big, warm hand and hurriedly said, “Qi Zhenbai, let go. I have official business to attend to. I don’t have time to waste with you.”
Qi Zhenbai wasn’t angry. He realized that it was useless to get angry at the other man, so his tone was gentler. “Who is he?”
“It has nothing to do with you!” Chi Shuyan was a bit annoyed.
Chi Shuyan thought that the man in front of her might fly into a rage, but who would have thought that he would let go of her hand? He raised his hands and intimately tidied up her collar and hair, and his tone became gentler. “Okay, go. Come back early. I’ll pick you up later!”
It was probably because the man’s tone was too gentle, but Chi Shuyan almost forgot for one moment that they had broken up. She was a bit stupefied.
Taking advantage of his wife’s stupefaction, Qi Zhenbai deliberately hugged her and walked her to Jing Hengran’s car. Who knew what words the two men exchanged, but by the time Chi Shuyan reacted, the tall and imposing man had already opened the car door for her.
Before Chi Shuyan got into the car in a daze, the man hugged her again in front of Jing Hengran. His tone was intimate and gentle. “I’ll pick you up later. Remember to keep your distance from other men!”
