1579 Jealousy (2)

The other party had something important to discuss with her, so Chi Shuyan couldnt ignore him. She reached out for her phone and was about to reply, when she thought of what the man in front of her had said about looking at her phone after dinner. It seemed very impolite for her to reply to someone elses message while eating with the man in front of her at that moment, so she simply used an excuse to pick up her phone. She looked up and saw the man in front of her staring at her phone expressionlessly.

Chi Shuyan couldnt see through his emotions, but they had been together for so long, after all; she could still tell if he was happy or not.

Although the other party was still expressionless, he seemed to be in a very bad mood and his face was a bit gloomy. For a moment, Chi Shuyan wasnt sure why he was suddenly angry.

She racked her brain but couldnt figure it out, so she could only stop thinking about it. She just found an excuse to pick up her phone to have a look. Afraid that it would be impolite, she said that she would put it down immediately after a while.

Seeing that the other party didnt stop her, she relaxed. She immediately clicked on the screen, glanced at the message Jing Hengran had sent her, and started to reply.

She didnt notice that while she was seriously replying to Jing Hengrans message, Qi Zhenbai placed his chopsticks on the table. He didnt touch the food in his bowl again, nor did he speak. His face was cold and hard, and his thin lips were pursed tightly as he stared out the window with a deep and complicated gaze. At the same time, a storm roiled in the depths of his eyes, making him almost lose control. The veins on the back of his hands bulged, and looked quite hideous.

Chi Shuyan didnt forget that she was eating with Qi Zhenbai when she replied to Jing Hengrans message. Since she said that she would only look at her phone for a moment, she was succinct in her reply before she put down her phone.

It was a pity that while she wanted to talk another time, Jing Hengran continued to send her messages. At the end of the day, he was still concerned about whether or not she was cooperating with the Fan family regarding the spirit tea as well as the interests of the Jing family.

Chi Shuyan could only say that she probably wouldnt have time to go to the Jing Auction House in the next few days. When she was free, he could come and meet her.

Although she said that, she had already made up her mind to cooperate with the Fan family regarding the spirit tea.

As the saying went, Dont put your eggs in the same basket. She was well aware of the basic risks of investment. She didnt want to have any deeper ties with the Jing family. If she had any conflict with them in the future, the losses would be too great.

After Chi Shuyan replied, she saw Jing Hengran say, Okay. He didnt send her any more messages, so she immediately put her phone aside and prepared to continue eating.

Chi Shuyan buried her head in her food and saw that she was the only one eating. Only then did she realize that something was wrong. She looked up and saw the man in front of her looking out the window expressionlessly. His bowl and chopsticks were on the table. He had only eaten a mouthful or two of rice, and hadnt moved after that.

Chi Shuyan was a bit stumped and puzzled. Why arent you eating anymore?

The man in front of her glanced at her faintly, then looked away again and said coldly, Eat!

For a moment, Chi Shuyan didnt know if the other party had already eaten earlier or if he really was full; it most likely wasnt the latter. He had probably eaten something to fill his stomach before this.

Thinking this, Chi Shuyan didnt persuade him anymore and continued to bury her head in her food. However, not only was it a waste to eat so many dishes on her own, it was also quite boring. Besides, even if he had eaten something to fill his stomach earlier, he would definitely be hungry later at night. Taking a bite, she looked at his cold face and couldnt help but suggest again, There are so many dishes. Arent you going to eat more?

Since she had already picked up food for him just now, Chi Shuyan didnt dither, and got him more food again. She placed it in his bowl and said, Why dont you eat more?

If the other party was still unwilling to eat, there was nothing she could do. Chi Shuyan didnt plan to continue persuading him. Fortunately, it wasnt long before the man picked up his chopsticks and finished the food she had gotten for him. After that, he was about to put down his chopsticks again, when Chi Shuyan hurriedly put more food into his bowl and said, Dont Eat more. I cant eat so many dishes. You eat more too, so you dont get hungry again tonight.

Chi Shuyan heaved a sigh of relief when she saw the man in front of her finish all the food she gave him. Unfortunately, he only ate the food that was in his bowl, and was about to put down his chopsticks again.

The man had ordered too many dishes. No matter how much Chi Shuyan could eat, her appet.i.te was only so big. This man just had to order a table full of dishes. Wasnt it a waste in the end?

In order not to waste food, Chi Shuyan kept putting food into his bowl.

She was afraid of wasting food, so she didnt think much of it and didnt notice how intimate her actions were. It was only after the other party finished a bowl of rice and placed his chopsticks on the table again that Chi Shuyan realized that she had crossed the line.

Seeing that the other partys face was very cold, Chi Shuyan felt a little embarra.s.sed. She immediately put down her chopsticks and asked, Shall I get the waitress to give you another bowl of rice?

Qi Zhenbai wiped the corners of his mouth with a napkin and replied expressionlessly and coldly, No need!

Chi Shuyan: Fine!

After that, she went to the washroom. When she came out, the man had already paid the bill and was waiting at the restaurant entrance with his back to her. Whether it was his face or his height, he stood out from the crowd. He was almost 1.9 meters tall, and stood at the door like a mountain. There were many men who were 1.8 meters tall, but his height was still very startling for an Asian man.

So, every customer who pa.s.sed by and entered the restaurant couldnt help but take a few glances at him. They were also intimidated by his aura and didnt dare take a closer look.

Chi Shuyan had just gone to the front desk and found out that the bill had been paid. Seeing Qi Zhenbai waiting for her at the door, she was afraid of delaying him, so she immediately walked over and asked, Shall we get into the car now?

Go ahead, Ill follow later, the man replied after a while, his voice deep, magnetic and pleasant to the ear.

Chi Shuyan was about to agree, when she saw a cigarette between the other partys fingers and a few scattered cigarette b.u.t.ts on the ground. Qi Zhenbai stubbed out the cigarette in his hand at her gaze, threw it on the ground, and crushed it under his foot. Then, he corrected himself. Come, get in the car!

Although Chi Shuyan didnt like the smell of smoke, she understood that men liked to smoke. As long as they didnt smoke too much, it was fine. As for Qi Zhenbai, she couldnt help but take a few more looks at him. In her memory, she rarely saw him smoke. She had seen him smoking recently, and it seemed he smoked quite heavily. Just like last time, there were cigarette b.u.t.ts everywhere on the ground.

Chi Shuyan was quite curious about when this man had developed the habit of smoking so heavily. Moreover, she sensed that every time he was in a bad mood, he would smoke especially heavily.

Before they entered the restaurant earlier, the other party had been in a good mood. Chi Shuyan couldnt figure out why his mood had suddenly changed. Seeing that he immediately put out his cigarette and got into the car, she was embarra.s.sed. She waved her hand and smiled politely. No, if you want to smoke, go ahead. Ill get into the car first and play on my phone for a while. It just so happened that she could play games for a while. Afraid that the other party would be embarra.s.sed, she simply corrected herself. It just so happens that someone else is looking for me!

With that, Chi Shuyan turned around and walked to the car to wait for him.

She had just taken a few steps, when the man behind her suddenly grabbed her wrist. Chi Shuyan turned around in surprise and happened to meet the mans gloomy and livid expression. Too many emotions roiled in the depths of his eyes. For a moment, Chi Shuyan couldnt understand them. She just felt that his mood had gotten worse; she could immediately tell from his livid and unsightly face.

Seeing that the other party wanted to say something, Chi Shuyan waited for him to speak.

The man quickly let go of her wrist. Without looking at her, he walked over and opened the car door for her. He pursed his thin lips tightly and spat out coldly, Get in!

After she got into the car, the man closed the door and walked around to the drivers seat. He turned on the headlights and started the engine. A beam of light hit the mans face, revealing an extremely gloomy and livid expression. Chi Shuyan was lost in thought for a moment.

She racked her brain, but even after the car stopped in front of the hospital, she still couldnt figure out why the other partys mood had suddenly changed. Seeing that they had arrived at the hospital, Chi Shuyan didnt dwell on it. Are we here? Grandpa isnt asleep yet, right? She raised her wrist to look at the time. Seeing that it was indeed still early, she heaved a sigh of relief. Lets get out of the car!
