Chi Shuyan stared blankly at the man’s gentle expression and blurted out, “You don’t want it?”
“This storage ring is just an ordinary ring to me. I can’t touch the things inside, so I might as well give it to you. There should be a lot of good stuff inside!” Qi Zhenbai said indifferently. He didn’t care about the storage ring at all.
Chi Shuyan gripped the ring tightly and couldn’t help but turn pale. “This ring… Where did you get it?”
Against the light, Qi Zhenbai couldn’t see his wife’s expression clearly, but he didn’t think much of it. He pursed his thin lips and said calmly, “I have good luck, and pick up some things every now and then!”
If she hadn’t seen the evil cultivator’s notes, Chi Shuyan might have believed him. However, listening to the tall and serious man in front of her calmly say these words, as if it was a regular occurrence, it was clear he didn’t plan to reveal anything at all about how he had been possessed. Chi Shuyan’s nose stung hard. Her lips trembled and she couldn’t utter a word for a long time.
After a pause, the man probed, “Do you like it? If you like it, I’ll give it to you!”
Chi Shuyan looked up and met the man’s cautious gaze. Her chest hurt and she was moved. She knew that this man was good to her, but this was the first time she realized just how good he was to her.
She had actually been so ruthless back then and wanted to split up with this man!
She didn’t know why, but in front of the man, her tears suddenly fell one by one.
Chi Shuyan had never cried so weakly in front of anyone in her life.
Chi Shuyan wasn’t the only one who was alarmed. Qi Zhenbai was so scared that his face changed drastically. He strode to the edge of the bed and sat her on his lap with incomparable familiarity.
The man hurriedly wiped her tears. Chi Shuyan’s tears fell even more and her eyes turned red, making Qi Zhenbai even more at a loss. He hurriedly coaxed her.
Unfortunately, he was the stupidest and really didn’t know how to coax people. For some reason, Qi Zhenbai became even more anxious and his serious face softened. He wiped her tears and continued to stutter helplessly, “What… what did I say wrong? Wife, just say it, and I’ll change!”
If Qi Hao were on the side, he would have been so shocked by his cousin’s helplessness and apology that his jaw would have dropped to the floor as he doubted life.
Fortunately, there was no one else around.
It would have been fine if this man hadn’t coaxed her, but once he did, Chi Shuyan’s tears fell even more. In the end, she felt a little embarrassed, mainly because she felt that she was too old after two lifetimes, and was no longer the 19- and 20-year-old girl from her previous life.
She didn’t expect to cry in front of a man like this one day. She was very ashamed and embarrassed, so she simply buried her face in the man’s broad chest and suppressed the shock in her heart as she pretended to be calm and said that she was fine.
Qi Zhenbai was even more anxious when he couldn’t see his wife’s face, but when he didn’t hear her crying, he calmed down a little and patted her back gently.
At that moment, the two of them were no longer as distant as before. It was really like back when they first started living together, and their feelings for each other quickly heated up.
For a moment, no one spoke, and they remained in the same position.
Five minutes later, Chi Shuyan touched the man’s wet hair before she got off his lap. She then took the initiative to dry his hair.
The man’s body was a bit stiff at first, but as she moved, his body gradually softened, and his cold and hard expression became even more unbelievably gentle. Occasionally, he would sneak a glance at her face, and when he saw that she was no longer crying, he heaved a sigh of relief.
Chi Shuyan pretended not to see the man’s scrutiny. Her movements were very gentle and careful. The man’s hair was short, hard and black. She had heard many old people say that men with thick, black hair were usually cold on the surface, but soft on the inside.
Wasn’t that the case with him?
After being with this man for a while, she felt that she wasn’t as good to him as he was to her. This man was devoted to her. Chi Shuyan felt that if she didn’t cherish such a man in the future, she really would be struck by lightning.
Not long after blowing the man’s hair dry, Chi Shuyan put the hairdryer back in the drawer. As soon as she did so, she felt a tug on her wrist.
She wound up sitting in the man’s lap again.
The man asked in a deep, gentle and careful voice, “Why were you crying just now?”
It had felt good to let it all out earlier, but now, Chi Shuyan felt more ashamed and embarrassed. If there was a hole in the ground right now, she would crawl into it. That was what Chi Shuyan was thinking at that moment.
She really didn’t plan to tell the man in front of her why she was crying, and decided to go to the old residence to ask Grandpa about it.
Chi Shuyan casually found an excuse. The man stared at her, and she couldn’t tell if he believed her or not. So, Chi Shuyan simply lay on the man’s shoulder and acted cute. “Husband, I’m sleepy!”
As soon as she said the word “husband,” Qi Zhenbai’s hands shook and his heart jolted. His cold eyes turned beautiful and soft. Without saying anything, he picked her up and lay on the bed with her.
From beginning to end, the man never let go of Chi Shuyan’s waist. The two of them were so close it was as if they were inseparable.
Not long after, the man turned off the light, and Chi Shuyan relaxed. She was about to close her eyes and sleep, when she suddenly heard the man’s magnetic and gentle voice. “Call me again?”
Chi Shuyan didn’t refuse. After a while, she stuttered, “Husband!”
She said it in that cute way again.
Qi Zhenbai’s heart trembled violently when he heard that. At that moment, it felt like the woman in his arms wanted to kill him with that word in that soft and gentle tone.
Seeing that the man was motionless like a statue, Chi Shuyan thought that he didn’t hear her. She probed again, “Husband?”
In short, she really couldn’t refuse this man tonight.
As for Qi Zhenbai, he was being ‘tortured’ by the woman in his arms. She called him “husband” several times in a row, which shook his heart and soul and completely killed him.
In the darkness, he couldn’t see the face of the woman under him clearly, so he simply felt out her face carefully with his large hand. After tracing the lines of her face, he coaxed again, “Say it again, hm?”
“Husband!”
The veins on Qi Zhenbai’s forehead bulged one by one. He suddenly brought his right fist down on the bed, creating a small dent. Chi Shuyan was shocked.
When Chi Shuyan woke up the next day, she was the only one still in the big bed. The man had left, and the space next to her was cold.
Chi Shuyan was a bit disappointed. She reached for her phone, and touched another note left by the man. It said that he had already gone to Qi Corporation, and told her to rest well.
Chi Shuyan felt as if she had eaten honey. She was about to put the note on the table, when her eyes were drawn to her middle finger, which had a silver-white ring on it. The ring was simple but very beautiful, and was very much in line with a certain man’s taste.
For a moment, Chi Shuyan was both surprised and happy. She turned her finger this way and that for five minutes for a look before shifting her gaze away; only then did she get up to eat breakfast.
Although Chi Shuyan’s body was still very sore, she was in good spirits. It was just that the marks on her body looked a little scary.
As soon as she said that word, it was as if the man was on steroids.
Fortunately, she had always been in good shape. As her cultivation level increased, her health improved even more.
Moreover, they had just made up. After the honeymoon stage passed, the man shouldn’t be as intense. Thinking this, Chi Shuyan relaxed.
Otherwise, she was really worried that she wouldn’t be able to take it.
