Chapter 1668 - 1668 Strange Mood
1668 Strange Mood
When Feng Yuanlin saw the way Shuyan looked at him, he immediately guessed what Zhenbai had said to her. It was already so late, and he didn’t want to keep her any longer. He waved tiredly and said, “Go, go, Shuyan, go back to your husband! Say h.e.l.lo to Zhenbai for me!”
Chi Shuyan quickly hung up after speaking to Qi Zhenbai and nodded. “Okay!” Seeing the exhaustion in Brother Feng’s eyes, she didn’t know how to comfort him, so she could only say, “Brother Feng, rest early tonight. I’ll let you know immediately if there’s any news!”
Hearing Shuyan’s words, Feng Yuanlin was much more rea.s.sured and nodded for her to leave first.
But before Chi Shuyan could take a few steps, Gu Yunzheng suddenly took out his phone and looked at the time, then said, “It’s about time, Miss Chi. Shall we go together?”
!!
As he asked this question, he followed closely behind Chi Shuyan, and Qi Hao couldn’t help but take a few more wary looks. If Gu Yunzheng hadn’t talked about spirit tea with his sister-in-law the entire way, he really wouldn’t have been able to help but suspect that this man was interested in her!
As for Jiang Mingguang, he wanted to go with Gu Yunzheng, but he thought of something and hesitated for a while. In the end, he didn’t leave first, but followed Feng Yuanlin.
The three of them walked out of the neighborhood before they knew it. While Chi Shuyan was talking to Gu Yunzheng, her sharp eyes caught sight of a familiar and tall man standing upright next to a familiar car not far away.
It was a little dark in the distance, and she could vaguely see a spark between the man’s fingertips. The moment she looked over, the man immediately stubbed out his cigarette and crushed it under his foot with dark eyes.
Qi Hao also spotted his cousin at that moment and immediately ran over to greet him. “Cousin, you’re really here? I’m here, aren’t I? I could have driven Sister-in-law back.”
Qi Hao actually felt that his cousin was making a mountain out of a molehill when it came to his sister-in-law. He had even come with his sister-in-law, but his cousin was still worried and had to come and pick her up himself. He really both envied and hated his cousin and sister-in-law’s relations.h.i.+p.
He had never seen a newlywed couple so clingy. Furthermore, his cousin had never been a clingy person before, and instead was very cold and hard. It was only when he met Sister-in-law that his personality changed too quickly.
Qi Zhenbai didn’t respond much to his cousin, Qi Hao. He was looking at his wife, who was talking softly and gently to another man. His eyes inexplicably darkened and his face also turned gloomy.
Qi Hao’s heart thumped when he saw his cousin’s face, and he hurriedly followed his cousin’s gaze.
It was quite normal for his sister-in-law to chat with the man surnamed Gu. There was also some distance between them, and it also looked like they were talking about business. Qi Hao felt that there was nothing wrong with the two of them at all, but he saw his cousin’s face grow darker and felt the aura around him grow colder.
Fortunately, it wasn’t long before his sister-in-law finished speaking with the man surnamed Gu and walked over.
Gu Yunzheng was about to leave, when he suddenly saw a cold-looking man not far away.
Gu Yunzheng naturally recognized this person. They had met a few times before. He was slightly startled when he saw Qi Zhenbai, and was about to greet him amicably, when he suddenly touched his nose and frowned fiercely. Then, he saw the other man’s eyes flash with a red light. His expression turned thoughtful, and the more he looked at the man in the distance, the darker his face became.
While Gu Yunzheng was still in a daze, Chi Shuyan said goodbye to him and got into the car. Seeing that Gu Yunzheng had yet to move, Chi Shuyan had a thought and immediately called out to Qi Hao to send him back. She then said to Gu Yunzheng, “Director Gu, where are you staying? Just tell Qi Hao later. He drove, and can send you…!” Before she could finish her sentence, Chi Shuyan felt a sharp pain in her wrist. She grunted and subconsciously looked at her left wrist to see the man next to her gripping it very tightly. A few veins on the back of the man’s hand bulged faintly before he quickly let go of her.
Chi Shuyan: …
Fortunately, Qi Hao replied quickly and immediately said to Gu Yunzheng, “Director Gu, I’ll send you back. Where are you headed?”
Qi Hao knew that his cousin had driven here, so his sister-in-law would definitely take his cousin’s car. Qi Hao got into his car and immediately waved for Gu Yunzheng to get in.
Chi Shuyan heaved a sigh of relief when she saw Gu Yunzheng get into Qi Hao’s car; she didn’t notice the face of the man in the driver’s seat get even darker.
When Qi Hao drove away, Chi Shuyan retracted her gaze and looked at the man next to her in confusion. “Why aren’t you driving?” Thinking of how the man had suddenly lost control and grabbed her wrist, Chi Shuyan looked at him in bewilderment and asked hesitantly, “You… what… happened just now?”
Could it be that this man was very angry that she had left the old residence all of a sudden?
The more Chi Shuyan thought about it, the more she felt that was the case. She immediately grabbed the man’s hand. As soon as she did so, she felt that it was really cold. She rubbed it and immediately admitted her mistake obediently. “I received an urgent call from Brother Feng. It was especially urgent and he insisted that I come over. That’s why I had to go out, right? Husband, don’t be mad, okay?”
The car headlights weren’t on, and only a few lights outside illuminated the man’s face. For a moment, Chi Shuyan couldn’t see the man’s face clearly, but she could vaguely see that his expression was especially cold and hard. Seeing that the man didn’t speak, Chi Shuyan continued to coax him. “Husband, don’t be mad, okay? Besides, I said goodbye to Dad and Mom before I left the old residence. If you had been in the living room, I would have definitely told you. By the way, how’s my dad now? Where is he? Is he still at the old residence? Has he gone to bed?”
Chi Shuyan’s attention quickly s.h.i.+fted to her father. At the thought that her father had rushed back to the capital, she felt stressed for a moment. She didn’t know how to face her father, and could only hope that this man got along well with him.
After listening to his wife’s words, Qi Zhenbai’s face relaxed somewhat. However, when he thought of how his wife had been whispering to another man just now, his expression was still gloomy, and he couldn’t help but feel angry and irritated. He pinched the area between his eyebrows tiredly and touched the prayer beads on his wrist out of habit before his mood eased a little. He replied coldly, “Dad is still at the old residence!”
