Chapter 1718 - 1718 The Man's Anger
1718 The Man’s Anger
Only after Brother Feng and Gu Yunzheng drove away did Chi Shuyan get into the car and leave with her man. Seeing that his face didn’t look good, Chi Shuyan took the initiative to drive. Qi Zhenbai didn’t refuse this time and gave up his seat to his wife. After Chi Shuyan got into the car, she looked at the man and saw that his face was much better than before, as if his pale face just now had just been a figment of her imagination.
Qi Zhenbai took in his wife’s worried gaze and touched the prayer beads on his wrist out of habit with his right hand. He held his wife’s hand and asked in a comforting and deep voice, “Has the matter been resolved?”
Chi Shuyan hummed and didn’t say anything. She suddenly grabbed the man’s wrist and channeled her spiritual energy to examine his body. When she sensed the fluctuations of the chaotic baleful aura in his body, her face darkened. She wasn’t stupid. This man suddenly appeared outside the neighborhood, and she suddenly woke up from the illusion – she felt that it was his doing.
The thing that the Yuan woman worshiped actually only had average strength, but the illusion it created was very powerful. If it wasn’t for this man tonight, something might have happened to her.
In short, the baleful aura that was being suppressed in this man’s body was a knot in her heart, especially since she didn’t know much about it. She couldn’t help resolve it for the time being. It wasn’t like she hadn’t tried to find a way in the Mystic Yin Arts to get rid of the baleful aura and cadaveric qi. Unfortunately, the Mystic Yin Arts only contained scant, superficial information. She didn’t have a full solution for the time being.
She had been glad before that the Buddhist prayer beads on this man’s wrist could help him suppress the baleful aura, but after seeing his face tonight, her heart sank. She feigned ignorance and deliberately probed, “Why were you here tonight?”
Qi Zhenbai had long thought of an excuse and said that he had asked Feng Yuanlin. Chi Shuyan was rendered speechless and couldn’t continue asking.
Qi Zhenbai held his wife’s hand tightly. Only then did he feel a little at ease. The reason he had come tonight was because he suddenly felt a little uneasy, so he rushed over immediately.
As for suddenly taking off the Buddhist prayer beads, it was also a subconscious action. He had a feeling that if he didn’t take them off, something might happen to his wife. He just hoped that he wouldn’t be a burden to his wife, and that he could help her a little.
He also believed in his wife’s abilities, but ultimately, he still felt apprehensive. Now, however, he felt much more at ease.
Although his heart was at ease, Qi Zhenbai didn’t hide his hot gaze. Chi Shuyan suspected that if she wasn’t driving, this man would have checked for himself that she was fine.
Chi Shuyan’s heart warmed and she said helplessly, “I’m really fine! Husband, you should believe in your wife’s abilities!”
Not to mention his intense stare, she felt immense pressure.
Qi Zhenbai no longer dwelled on the inexplicable uneasiness in his heart. It was fine as long as she didn’t have a scratch on her.
Still, he inquired about what had just happened. Chi Shuyan didn’t think much of it, and recounted the matter briefly, mainly emphasizing that the thing’s illusion had been very powerful. Apart from that, everything else was fine.
Chi Shuyan rambled on and on, and also mentioned how she had almost been nailed shut inside the coffin in the illusion. She spoke in detail and with relish. She didn’t notice at all that the man’s face had suddenly darkened. His face was a bit black, and his expression was especially unhappy and sharp.
This man was good-looking, but when his face was dark and angry, he was especially imposing and intimidating. It wasn’t until Chi Shuyan stopped at a light that she sensed the man’s dark expression. Feeling guilty, she immediately shut up obediently.
On the way home, Chi Shuyan didn’t dare say a word. The man beside her didn’t say anything either. As soon as they returned to their room, he went to take a shower.
Chi Shuyan: … It was over. She had said too much!
Chi Shuyan listened to the sound of water splashing in the bathroom. She couldn’t coax him immediately, so she simply took out the fragments from her Cosmos Ring and studied them. She had stuck a talisman on them earlier, just in case. After tearing off the talisman, the fragments fell in a mess on the table.
For the sake of research, Chi Shuyan wanted to put the pieces together. She worked for almost ten minutes, but she still couldn’t find the last piece. Wait, could it be that she had missed picking up the last piece at the Yuan woman’s place? Or, had she accidentally dropped one while walking and talking to Gu Yunzheng?
Chi Shuyan was puzzled, but had no time to think; at that moment, the man came out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around his lower body. He was tall and had a good figure. His bare upper torso was sexy. Not only did he have muscular arms and shoulders, the lines on his back were even more perfect and firm, and radiated a sense of security.
Chi Shuyan was used to the man’s figure, yet she still couldn’t help but sigh. His figure looked especially good under the night light.
After showering, the man liked to deliberately show off in front of her. Tonight, however, he directly ignored a certain person’s hot gaze. With his back to her, he calmly changed into his pajamas and got into bed.
Chi Shuyan: …
Seeing that her man was still angry, Chi Shuyan wasn’t in the mood to study the fragments anymore. She could only put them back into her Cosmos Ring and obediently go and take a shower. After taking a shower, she immediately came out. When she climbed into bed, she leaned over the man under the blanket and gently pushed him a few times. She called out sweetly and tentatively, “Husband! Husband! Are you asleep?”
