Chapter 528: Jealousy
Chi Shuyan looked up and saw the inexplicably tense and cold expression of the man in front of her. For a moment, she didn’t know what this man was saying. Wait, this man wasn’t jealous, right?
Jealous of Xie Mingxuan?
The elevator doors were about to close, but Qi Zhenbai raised his hand to block them first. It wasn’t convenient to talk in front of the elevator, and Chi Shuyan hurriedly said, “Let’s go into the elevator and talk.”
Chi Shuyan held the man’s hand and saw his expression soften a bit, though his stern face still looked especially cold and dark.
Chi Shuyan couldn’t help but recall that she had sold the talisman to Xie Mingxuan at the original price of 30,000 yuan. It was just that she had accepted 200,000 yuan from Yu Qun, which made it seem like she treated Xie Mingxuan differently.
Chi Shuyan was about to explain, when the man next to her said coldly again, “Were you here tonight for Xie Mingxuan?”
Was this man really jealous of Xie Mingxuan?
Chi Shuyan was amused and helpless. She stifled her laughter, and the man’s face turned even darker. After admiring his expression, Chi Shuyan curled her lip. “When did I fall for Xie Mingxuan?”
If it was the normally calm and collected Qi Zhenbai, he would definitely have heard the derision in his wife’s tone, but when it came to her, he had no sense at all. To him, this was his wife indirectly admitting that she really liked Xie Mingxuan. His face grew stiffer and taut, and the veins on his forehead bulged one by one. His cold, hard eyes were sharp, and his thin lips were pursed tightly as he didn’t say a word and stared fixedly at his wife.
Chi Shuyan was really creeped out by this man’s stare and was also afraid that he would really misunderstand. Then, she would really be the wronged one. So, she said in a rare, serious tone, “I don’t like him, I only like you!”
Qi Zhenbai was stunned. He obviously didn’t expect his wife to be so frank. The gloom on his originally stiff and taut face was swept away, and his cold, hard eyebrows instantly softened. Although his thin lips were still tightly pursed, the corners of his mouth couldn’t help but curl up. Everything was pleasing to his eye now, and he looked very happy.
Chi Shuyan finally heaved a sigh of relief. The man didn’t let go of her hand, and she followed him out of the hotel. When they got into the car, they saw an ambulance approaching. There was also a group of reporters outside. Chi Shuyan’s eyes were sharp, and she saw Zhou Manning lying on a stretcher as she was carried into the ambulance. Could it be that she had hit Zhou Manning too hard just now?
However, Chi Shuyan didn’t feel the slightest bit guilty. Although she had controlled her strength just now, the injury on Zhou Manning’s forehead could keep her in the hospital for a few more days. Moreover, this woman was carried out of the hotel in disheveled clothes, and there were many reporters around. What the media liked to do most was come up with groundless speculation. That woman would be very busy after she woke up.
Chi Shuyan’s mood instantly lifted. Sitting in the car, Qi Zhenbai took a few more looks at his wife. “Why the good mood?”
He had never been an inquisitive person. He hadn’t been curious about what happened outside just now, but seeing his wife’s face, he was a little curious now.
Chi Shuyan was about to speak, when Qi Zhenbai’s phone suddenly rang. Qi Zhenbai picked up the call, and soon, Grandpa Qi’s voice rang out. “Zhenbai, are you still at the company? Where’s your wife? Are you taking good care of my granddaughter-in-law and my great-grandson?
“Hurry and bring my granddaughter-in-law home with you tomorrow. Don’t say that you’re busy!”
Chi Shuyan’s face instinctively stiffened at the old man’s words. When the man hung up, she saw him glance lightly at her stomach. Wait, did this man think that she had gotten pregnant after that time?
