Chapter 1581 - 1581 Outburst

1581 Outburst

When Chi Shuyan entered the ward again, she chatted with the old man for a while before he got sleepy. She and Qi Zhenbai sat in the ward for a while longer before they left.

After leaving the hospital, the other party took the initiative to send her back, and she didn’t refuse. On the way, however, Chi Shuyan couldn’t understand why he glanced at her stomach.

Before the car even came to a complete stop in front of the villa, his burning gaze fell on her stomach.

Chi Shuyan: …

“What are you looking at?” Chi Shuyan looked curiously at the man next to her.

As soon as she asked the question, the man next to her averted his eyes and looked into the distance. Chi Shuyan didn’t understand what he was thinking.

She was getting along alright with Qi Zhenbai tonight. Before getting out of the car and entering the villa, she said goodbye.

As soon as she opened the car door, her left wrist was suddenly grabbed again. Chi Shuyan tilted her head, but saw that the other party wasn’t looking at her. The atmosphere in the car was very quiet. The man’s palm was rough and had many calluses; it felt a little prickly and itchy when he held her wrist. She wasn’t repulsed by the touch; instead, her heart felt a little strange at the itch on her wrist. Her feelings for the man, who had deliberately been cold before, had also been rekindled.

She felt that if the other party suddenly brought up getting back together, she probably wouldn’t hesitate to agree. However, the other party didn’t speak, and Chi Shuyan didn’t know what to say. She could only look out the car window and then at the big hand around her wrist as she wondered what was going on.

Should she break free or not?

Did the other party also want to get back together?

If she refused to break free, would the other party misunderstand?

Chi Shuyan was thinking too much and was afraid that the other party would misunderstand, so she sat quietly in the car.

Although the atmosphere in the car was strange, it was oddly harmonious.

It wasn’t until a ringtone suddenly rang out that Chi Shuyan took out her phone to look at it. She picked up the call and heard Jing Hengran’s familiar voice. “Shuyan, I’m at your house. When are you coming back?”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Before Chi Shuyan could reply and ask why the other party was at her house, she felt a sharp pain in her wrist. She looked down and saw the veins on the back of the man’s hand bulge as his grip on her wrist tightened so hard he could crush her bones.

Chi Shuyan sucked in her breath, and the other party immediately loosened his grip, but he didn’t let go of her wrist. Chi Shuyan picked up the call and looked at the man next to her. The headlights were already turned down, and she couldn’t see his expression at all. She could only vaguely see that his thin lips were pursed tightly, and his face seemed a little blue and gloomy as he wore a terrible expression.

However, the other party didn’t say anything for a long time. She only heard Jing Hengran’s worried voice on the other end of the line from time to time.

He asked her what was wrong. Where was she? He would pick her up!

Chi Shuyan could only ignore the man next to her and continue talking to Jing Hengran, saying that she would be home soon, so there was no need to trouble him to pick her up.

The two of them talked back and forth, and Jing Hengran deliberately expressed his concern. Anyone listening to their conversation would really think that they had a close relationship.

Chi Shuyan, on the other hand, knew very well why Jing Hengran was showing concern. Before they got close, not only did he speak gently to her, he also took the initiative to show concern over the phone.

Chi Shuyan hadn’t been used to the other party showing concern at first. Later, he used ‘friends’ as an excuse. Because they were cooperating, Chi Shuyan couldn’t not give him face, so she could only pretend not to notice.

Later, she understood that all the other party’s concern was based on the worth she had shown and not because he really had any feelings for her. At most, he only had a favorable impression of her. Chi Shuyan couldn’t be bothered to think too much about the concern and ambiguity he displayed from time to time.

In addition, Chi Shuyan was used to Jing Hengran’s gentle and concerned tone when he spoke to her, so she didn’t think much of it.

She didn’t think much of it, but Qi Zhenbai, who was sitting unmoving in the driver’s seat, couldn’t help but think too much as he listened to the other man speak on the phone.

His face turned livid and dark, and storm clouds gathered in the depths of his eyes. The vicious aura around him rose bit by bit, and the expression on his face made him look like he wanted to kill someone. His dark expression was especially terrifying.

Chi Shuyan didn’t notice the man’s expression, but she couldn’t help but guess why Jing Hengran had come to her house so late at night.

The other party had most likely come for the sake of the spirit tea and the Jing family’s interests.

How could a person like Jing Hengran not care about the benefits that the spirit tea would bring to the Jing family?

Chi Shuyan pondered for a moment and had a plan in mind. She took the initiative to say to Jing Hengran, “Okay, I’m almost there. Wait first, I’ll come over right now.”

As soon as she said that, the man beside her tightened his grip on her wrist again. It hurt so much that she took a few deep breaths and immediately tilted her head to glare at him.

She couldn’t be bothered to say more to Jing Hengran. After saying a few concise words, she immediately hung up.

After hanging up, her attention returned to the man next to her. He didn’t speak and stared unblinkingly in front of him without moving; Chi Shuyan didn’t know what he was looking at. She was still a little curious. She followed his gaze and looked outside. It was dark, and there was nothing to see at all. She retracted her gaze and tilted her head to look at him. The car was also dark, and she couldn’t see the man’s expression at all.

After sitting for a while, she couldn’t stand it anymore. Before Jing Hengran came to find her, she had still been in the mood to sit here and flirt with this man.

But the other party had already come to her house. It wasn’t good to keep him waiting, so Chi Shuyan could only say first, “It’s getting late. Shall I get out of the car first?”

The man didn’t speak, and just took out a cigarette and placed it between his lips. Not long after, he took out a lighter to light it. He tried several times, but his hand trembled slightly, and he couldn’t light the cigarette.

Since Chi Shuyan was thinking about getting back together, she didn’t want to always wait for the man to make the first move.

It took two people to tango. She simply took the initiative and said, “You treated me to dinner tonight. I’ll treat you next time. Don’t turn off your phone for the next few days.”

Before Chi Shuyan got out of the car, she snatched the lighter from the man’s hand. Although she didn’t want to interfere too much with the man’s smoking, he had already smoked too much before this. She couldn’t stand it anymore. She struggled free of his hand, opened the car door, and got out. Before she left, she stood outside the car window and didn’t forget to say, “I’m really leaving. See you next time! Don’t turn off your phone!”
