1733 Encountering a Love Rival? (2)
What Chi Shuyan didn’t see was the sparks in the eyes of the two men.
No one spoke as they looked at each other. In the middle, Chi Shuyan felt inexplicably embarra.s.sed, but didn’t know what to say.
It was Qi Hao, who came out of the restaurant, who broke the silence. Qi Hao ran over and shouted, “Sister-in-law!” Seeing how his cousin had rushed over so quickly, Qi Hao was a bit stumped and called out, “Cousin, you’re here too? You rushed over so quickly? I told you Sister-in-law was here!”
Qi Hao chuckled and didn’t notice his sister-in-law’s stiff face at all. Just as Chi Shuyan’s head was hurting, Qi Hao asked her cheerfully, “Sister-in-law, is this your friend? What were you guys talking about?”
Chi Shuyan: …
!!“Sister-in-law, why do I feel that you and this person get along so well?”
Was this kid fanning the flames?
Chi Shuyan glared at Qi Hao, who s.h.i.+fted his gaze to Jing Hengran and continued meaningfully, “But my sister-in-law and my cousin have already registered their marriage. This man and woman are already married. It’s not good to hang out with each other for too long. I absolutely trust my sister-in-law’s single-minded character, but some men throw themselves at her…”
Qi Hao still wanted to mock the man in front of him, who wanted to poach someone from the Qi family. Don’t think he hadn’t seen how this man’s eyes had been glued to his sister-in-law during dinner. He had long been unhappy about it.
Unfortunately, before he could finish, Chi Shuyan immediately interrupted him, unable to stand this kid’s nonsense anymore. Chi Shuyan’s face twitched and she hurriedly interrupted him. She apologized to Jing Hengran. “This child is young and doesn’t know any better. Young Master Jing, don’t mind him!”
As she spoke, she rubbed Qi Hao’s head as a warning not to talk nonsense. Qi Hao’s hair was ruffled, and he stomped his foot anxiously.
Then, in Qi Hao’s eyes, the man surnamed Jing revealed a hypocritical smile. “Shuyan, don’t worry, I won’t argue with a child!”
Qi Hao was very indignant at being mocked by an outsider. He wanted to retort, but Chi Shuyan suppressed him.
Chi Shuyan’s hand itched and she wanted to rub this kid’s head again, but Qi Zhenbai suddenly stepped forward and held her hand firmly. His large hand wrapped around hers tightly.
Chi Shuyan felt a little hot and wanted to break free, but the man’s hand was like an iron clamp. No matter how she struggled, she couldn’t break free, so she could only give up in the end. She planned to say a few more things to Jing Hengran before she decisively took the two cousins and left, when the man’s low and magnetic voice suddenly ran out above her head. “What were you talking about just now? Haozi isn’t the only one who’s curious. I’m also quite curious.”
Chi Shuyan: …
Qi Hao: …Cousin is awesome!
As soon as Qi Zhenbai said that, the atmosphere became even more awkward and deathly silent. Chi Shuyan couldn’t believe her man’s words. She was about to tell the truth, but Jing Hengran answered faster than she did. She heard him say ambiguously, “Since it’s a private chat between Shuyan and me, of course, only Shuyan and I know. Consider it a secret between us. Shuyan, what do you think?”
As soon as Jing Hengran said the provocative words, murderous intent and coldness suddenly welled up in Qi Zhenbai’s eyes. All expression faded from the man’s face at that moment as he turned gloomy and cold. The powerful aura around him made people immediately turn pale and hold their breaths.
Jing Hengran gasped heavily. For a moment, he felt an unprecedented sense of danger and aggression. His back was inexplicably covered in cold sweat. Just meeting the sharp gaze of the man in front of him, a powerful pressure suddenly hit him hard in the chest, making his face turn slightly pale and his forehead break out in a cold sweat.
Qi Zhenbai then withdrew his aura and looked down at him as if he were nothing. His eyes seemed to say that Jing Hengran wasn’t qualified to provoke him. Jing Hengran was stunned. While he was still in a daze, the man had already taken Shuyan’s hand and left.
Chi Shuyan didn’t expect the man to suddenly take her away without saying anything. If it were anyone else, Chi Shuyan wouldn’t mind, but she still had to cooperate with Jing Hengran. It wouldn’t do either of them any good to make things too awkward, so Chi Shuyan immediately wanted to break free from the man beside her without thinking.
Unexpectedly, she really shook off the man’s hand this time. The man stood rooted to the spot, his face terrifyingly dark!
Chi Shuyan couldn’t be bothered to pay attention to the man next to her at that moment. She hurriedly said politely to Jing Hengran, “We’ll leave first. It’s rare for you to come to the capital. I didn’t entertain you well tonight. I’m sorry. I’ll get my Haozi to take you around. He’s especially familiar with these streets.” After a pause, she immediately said loudly to Qi Hao, “Haozi, entertain the guest for me for a while!”
Qi Hao hurriedly replied, “Sister-in-law, no problem! Hehe! Hurry and go with my cousin! Leave this to me!”
As Qi Hao spoke, he gave his cousin a smug look and patted his chest to indicate that he would immediately help him get rid of his love rival. It was rare for him to show his cousin his worth. Qi Hao was very excited.
Chi Shuyan was still thinking about what to say, when the man beside her suddenly picked her up over his shoulder. Chi Shuyan was shocked as the man strode calmly in the direction of the car.
Chi Shuyan was stuffed into the car. Through the rearview mirror, she saw Qi Hao clapping excitedly as if he was watching a good show. The corners of her eyes twitched fiercely. She couldn’t help but ask in a low voice, “Was Haozi the one who told you?”
