Chapter 702: Tempted by Qi Zhenbai
Chi Shuyan was glad that this man was very accepting. He had been shocked just now, but immediately calmed down. After listening to her explanation about the Cosmos Ring, he was no longer curious.
Conversely, Chi Shuyan was very excited at obtaining the Cosmos Ring, and was far from being as calm and indifferent as this man.
She said that she would do an experiment in a few days to see if she could bring him in.
Qi Zhenbai was indeed a bit curious about this Cosmos Ring, but since he couldn’t enter, he and this ring weren’t fated, and he wouldn’t force it; as long as his wife was happy.
Of course, if this kind of thing fell into someone else’s hands, and Qi Zhenbai happened to get wind of the news, he would definitely get to the very bottom of it. After all, this thing was too magical. However, since this ring fell into his wife’s hands, Qi Zhenbai was only happy for her.
Now that the matter was resolved, the man didn’t stop her from going to Fu s.h.i.+yin’s house to help Zhou Manqing and return the favor; indeed, she had to pay them back.
Of course, it wasn’t because of magnanimity, but because Qi Zhenbai was worried of karma affecting his wife.
Because his wife would be heading out at 11pm, Qi Zhenbai was naturally worried about her going alone. Even though he knew that his wife was capable, in his eyes, she wasn’t just a woman, she was also his wife.
Chi Shuyan didn’t refuse the man’s company. He deftly helped her put on her clothes before she could do anything.
Chi Shuyan watched him help dress her as if she were a child. Who knew how many times this man had helped her put them on in order for him to be this proficient.
Thinking this, Chi Shuyan’s ears turned red, and she made up her mind to wear her clothes herself in the future.
Although Qi Zhenbai’s face was as calm and collected as usual, when he unhurriedly b.u.t.toned his wife’s clothes, his gaze fell on his wife’s porcelain white and smooth skin. He also saw her delicate collarbones and a few bite marks, and his eyes grew darker.
Chi Shuyan was now considered an experienced person; how could she not know what this man’s gaze meant?
In particular, he took a long time to b.u.t.ton up her clothes.
She didn’t know if it was because of the dim yellow light, but when the gentle light shone on the man’s cold and hard face, it softened it tremendously. Even though his eyebrows were still startlingly sharp, his features were deep and perfect. The more she looked at him, the more stunning he appeared. His movements were elegant and n.o.ble. She didn’t know if it was her illusion, but she felt that the man looked at her from time to time with a hint of seduction.
This gaze inexplicably made her heart thump, and she couldn’t help but take a few more glances!
Backlit by the light, it was as if a perfect freeze frame had been captured of the man at that moment. His skin was too good, and was set off by the backdrop.
Chi Shuyan never thought that she would actually be charmed by a person’s appearance like this one day, and almost couldn’t control herself. She immediately looked at the clock on the wall, then sobered up and b.u.t.toned herself up.
She was really afraid that she wouldn’t be able to control herself and would be seduced by the man in front of her, making her forget all about proper business.
Qi Zhenbai was a bit regretful that he wasn’t able to tempt his wife, but since she had official business tonight, he didn’t do anything else after that.
It was just that when Chi Shuyan was putting on her shoes at the entrance, the man suddenly picked her up and sat her on his lap. His movements were incomparably natural as he helped his wife put on her shoes.
“No, I’ll wear them myself!”
