Chapter 1350 - Xu Tong Leaves the Village?

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

When Chi Shuyan followed Qi Zhenbai out, there was indeed a van parked on the silt road next to them. It was obvious that this didn’t belong to a villager.

Wu Haoming and Xiao Shan were already blocking the way, and the vehicle didn’t leave. Chi Shuyan’s face improved a little, and she walked over unhurriedly with the man next to her.

Xu Tong didn’t know Wu Haoming and Xiao Shan. When she saw someone stop the car, she jumped in fright. The driver and assistant in the car also jumped in fright, thinking that they had run into some unruly villagers.

Fortunately, it wasn’t long before Xu Tong saw Chi Shuyan through the car window. She recognized Master Chi at a glance and was so excited that she hurriedly called out, “Master Chi!”

Chi Shuyan also greeted Xu Tong. Seeing Xu Tong’s driver and assistant look warily at Wu Haoming and Xiao Shan, she curled her lip and said, “It’s all a misunderstanding. We all know each other!”

With that, she asked Xu Tong, who was sitting in the car, “Are you planning to leave the village, Mrs. Ruan?”

Xu Tong had a very good impression of Master Chi and immediately had her assistant help her out of the car – she usually didn’t put on airs, but she was pregnant. In addition, it hadn’t been easy for her to get pregnant, so Xu Tong didn’t dare be careless.

The assistant immediately carefully helped Xu Tong out of the car. As she got out, he said worriedly, “Mrs. Ruan, I’ve already called Film Emperor Ruan. He’ll be here soon!”

Xu Tong waved her hand to interrupt her assistant and hurriedly said, “Don’t, don’t. I know Master Chi. There’s no need to let Shenglin know. Call him again and tell him to focus on filming. I’m fine here!”

After saying that, Xu Tong looked at Chi Shuyan respectfully and enthusiastically. In fact, she was more curious about the especially good-looking man next to Master Chi. She wondered what his relationship with Master Chi was.

But he was too imposing, so Xu Tong didn’t dare take a second look. She only said enthusiastically, “Master Chi, so you’re here too. If I had known that you were here, I would have come to talk to you in the morning!”

Chi Shuyan had always had a good impression of Xu Tong. Hearing her words, her eyes swept over Xu Tong’s slightly bulging stomach. Seeing that she looked fine, her lips curved up and she said, “I’m free now. Why don’t you come inside for a bit?”

Xu Tong was very moved by Master Chi’s invitation. If Shenglin hadn’t kept telling her to leave the village, she would have stayed a little longer. Although this village was remote, it was peaceful and the people here were simple. When she walked around here before, many people in the village took the initiative to greet her. Also, the children here were sensible. Xu Tong had a good impression of this place. She didn’t understand why Shenglin had asked her to come over before, but not a day later told her to leave.

However, Xu Tong still believed in their years of relationship and Shenglin. He must have his reasons for asking her to leave at the last minute. She reckoned that he was indeed too busy filming this movie.

Xu Tong didn’t want to drag her man down. After hesitating for a while, she refused. “Master Chi, I don’t think I’m free today. Why don’t we meet again in the capital next time?”

Since she had stopped her, Chi Shuyan didn’t plan to let her leave. She had some guesses about what happened to Brother Feng, and now that she thought about it, it was safer for the pregnant Xu Tong to stay in the village than take a risk.

She persuaded Xu Tong, “It just so happens that I have something to discuss with you this time, Mrs. Ruan!”

At that point, Xu Tong finally nodded in agreement. In any case, she had nothing to do in the capital. Master Chi might really need her for something. If Shenglin asked her later why she hadn’t left, she could use this as an excuse. Besides, she really didn’t want to leave the village and her man.

As soon as Xu Tong agreed, Chi Shuyan was afraid that the driver and her assistant would be worried, so she had them inform Ruan Shenglin that his wife was with her and to come to her place in the evening.

The driver and assistant originally wanted to say something, but seeing Mrs. Ruan’s firm attitude, they agreed and nodded.

After the two left, Xu Tong couldn’t help but ask, “Master Chi, why are you looking for me? Did you see something wrong with the child in my stomach?”

At the mention of the child, Xu Tong looked worried.

Chi Shuyan saw Xu Tong’s worry and her lips curved up. She glanced at Xu Tong’s bulging stomach and said, “The child is fine. You look good!”

Xu Tong was convinced by Master Chi’s words. Hearing that the child was fine, she was happy.

Chi Shuyan planned to take Xu Tong for a walk, but she didn’t plan to tell her about the strange things in the village. It wasn’t good for pregnant women to think too much. It was fine to tell just Ruan Shenglin about this. Before she took Xu Tong away, she said a few words to Qi Zhenbai, Wu Haoming, and Xiao Shan.

Xiao Shan and Wu Haoming were still a little worried about Brother Feng’s injuries.

Chi Shuyan said that Brother Feng was fine and would be fine after sleeping for a few days. Apart from nourishing the body with spiritual energy, the Nourishment Pill from before also had the effect of healing physical injuries. If it really didn’t work, she could refine some medicinal pills which were very effective against physical injuries.

As long as Brother Feng was breathing, she wasn’t afraid that he wouldn’t live.

Seeing how confident Master Chi was, Wu Haoming and Xiao Shan didn’t worry about Director Feng.

Qi Zhenbai didn’t mind seeing his wife walk around with another woman. Before he went back inside, he very naturally walked up to her and helped her straighten her collar, and said gently, “Come back early!”

Chi Shuyan: …

At that moment, Xu Tong’s eyes were as bright as a light bulb.

Chi Shuyan simply felt uncomfortable and stiff at the man’s intimate gesture. Looking at Xu Tong’s inquisitive and curious eyes on the side, she suppressed the slight fluster in her heart and pretended to be calm as she waved her hand and left first.

Qi Zhenbai waited for his wife to leave and didn’t move as his eyes were fixed on her back. On the side, Wu Haoming and Xiao Shan were sick of this scene. It wasn’t like Master Chi would be away for a few days, but this Qi family member’s gaze… Tsk, tsk!

The two didn’t dare say it openly, and only thought it to themselves.

Qi Zhenbai was very sharp. Sensing their gazes from time to time, his gentle expression turned cold. The last trace of a smile on his lips disappeared completely, and his face was icy and hard. “Let’s go back!”
