Chapter 1572 - 1572 Do You Have a Boyfriend Now?



1572 Do You Have a Boyfriend Now?

Chi Shuyan was caught off guard and was dragged out. It was only when they left the ward and got into the elevator that she reacted. She looked up at the man next to her and smelled the strong smoke on him; even though she was some distance away from him, the smell was too strong. She frowned.

Qi Zhenbai took in her subtle expression and his brow couldn’t help but furrow, but there was still no expression on his face. He looked at the number for the floors in the elevator and pursed his thin lips. “Bear with it for a while!”

Chi Shuyan didn’t understand what he meant, but after a while, the elevator doors opened and they reached the first floor. After exiting the elevator, the place was much more spacious. There was also a cool breeze, so the smell of smoke wasn’t as unbearable.

Thinking about how the other party had suddenly dragged her out, she was about to ask why. She hadn’t had a proper chat with Grandpa yet.

Not long after that, she felt that the other party had actually done her a favor. If Grandpa once again asked about registering their marriage, she really wouldn’t know how to answer for a moment.

Neither gritting her teeth and agreeing nor telling him that they had broken up were good responses.

As they walked to the entrance of the hospital, Chi Shuyan thanked the man next to her, and couldn’t help but look at his face out of the corner of her eye. She saw that his expression was as cold as ever. He was dressed in a suit and leather shoes, and had an aloof air. His handsome profile was especially sharp and made him hard to approach.

At the same time, he looked at her coolly, as if she were a stranger, and didn’t lose control again like last night.

She was still in a daze when she thought of what happened last night. If the man in front of her hadn’t smashed her phone, she might have really thought that what happened last night was a dream.

Although she had choked with anger last night, she was quite calm this morning. Since she had her SIM card, switching phones wasn’t a big deal. She couldn’t be bothered to fuss over it. Besides, her attitude last night had been too cold and hard, and she had regretted it a little after she returned to the villa.

Still, when she thought about how the man had inexplicably gotten angry last night, she didn’t plan to linger here for long. She made the excuse that she had to go to school, and was about to leave. As for Grandpa, she would come and see him after school in the afternoon.

She was about to turn around and take a taxi, when the man suddenly grabbed her wrist again. He didn’t use as much strength this time, but his grip was still like an iron vice around her wrist. She couldn’t struggle free, so she could only turn to look at the man. He took out another cigarette from his pocket with his other hand and was about to stuff it into his mouth, when his hand shook and he moved to put it behind his ear instead. He said carefully, “Sorry, I’m afraid I can’t explain things to Grandpa yet. On the other hand, do you need me to go over and explain things to your boyfriend first?”

Chi Shuyan was stupefied when the man said ‘boyfriend,’ and she didn’t notice the murderous intent in his eyes.

“What do you mean?” Chi Shuyan asked. She actually wanted to say that she didn’t have a boyfriend at all, but it didn’t seem right no matter how she said it; those who didn’t know better would think that she was specially explaining things to him.

At the same time, she realized that the other party had most likely misunderstood last night. Thinking of how he had lost control last night, she couldn’t help but take a few more looks at him.

Seeing that she didn’t deny it, Qi Zhenbai’s eyes were filled with hostility and pain. In fact, when he saw the post about her new boyfriend in Feng Yuanlin’s Moments earlier that day, he hadn’t believed it.

After losing control last night, his men also told him that apart from Chef Li and the two children, no other suspicious man had entered the villa at all. Only then did he realize that he seemed to have misunderstood last night. After feeling overjoyed, he heaved a sigh of relief and calmed down.

However, he was unable to sleep or eat well because of Feng Yuanlin’s Moments post; it was like a fishbone stuck in his throat, causing him to bleed. It was very uncomfortable and he wanted to pull it out right away.

Before she denied it, the sharp feeling would always be there, and his heart was also in his throat. He had been terrified and uneasy all day long, but at that moment, his face was calm. At the same time, there was a hint of shrewd probing in his words. “What I mean is that Grandpa isn’t in good health now. I’m afraid I won’t be able to tell him about us for a while. I looked at Yuanlin’s WeChat Moments, and he said that you have a new boyfriend.” Qi Zhenbai paused. He vaguely tasted blood in his mouth, and he licked his lips. After a while, he asked with difficulty, “You… you have a boyfriend now?”

After listening to Qi Zhenbai, Chi Shuyan finally understood the real reason for the disaster last night. Although she didn’t know exactly what Brother Feng had said in his Moments, for the man in front of her to misunderstand so badly, Feng Yuanlin had probably posted a lot of hints that could cause misunderstandings.

Chi Shuyan wasn’t someone who couldn’t see other people’s good intentions. After understanding everything, she wasn’t in a hurry to blame Brother Feng. Instead, she vaguely understood why Brother Feng had deliberately said in his Moments that she had a boyfriend; he wanted her to make up with the man in front of her.

But what she was most curious about now was what Brother Feng had said that could make the man in front of her misunderstand so badly.

Taking her silence as tacit agreement, Qi Zhenbai felt even more uneasy. He hadn’t slept all of last night, and his bloodshot eyes clearly revealed how exhausted he was. On a closer look, his face was still a bit pale. The area under his eyes was also bluish-black, and his thin lips were cracked. No matter how good his skin was, he couldn’t help but look a little haggard.

A bittersweet taste welled up in the man’s throat, and he repeated carefully, “You… have a boyfriend now?”
