After a while, she realized what she had just said. She subconsciously looked at the man in front of her with a hint of guilt in her eyes. Under the orange light, the man’s face remained stoic. For a moment, she didn’t know if he was angry.
After that, she only heard the man grit his teeth and say, “Very good!”
For a moment, Chi Shuyan didn’t know what to say. The atmosphere was too awkward and strange, so she simply looked up at the sky.
Qi Zhenbai regained his composure at that moment and said, “I called you downstairs because I have to go back to the capital now! When you come back in a few days, tell me, and I’ll come to pick you up! Don’t trouble Dad!”
When Chi Shuyan heard that the man was going back to the capital, she couldn’t care less about acting innocent. She stared blankly at the man in front of her with wide eyes. “Going back to the capital now? Is it urgent?”
The man pinched the space between his eyebrows and said, “I just got a call from the police station. Yuanlin was detained for hitting someone while drunk. His mood seems a bit off. I have to go and take a look!”
If it were anyone else, he might not rush back so suddenly, but Feng Yuanlin was very much like him in some ways. He was very reserved, rarely got angry and generally controlled his emotions well. It wasn’t like Qi Zhenbai hadn’t thought of asking Zhu Bocheng to go and take a look, but Zhu Bocheng’s phone was switched off, so he had to go back himself.
Chi Shuyan’s eyes widened when she heard the man say that Brother Feng had gotten drunk and hit someone before being detained at the police station. She was also a little worried and couldn’t help but ask, “What’s wrong with Brother Feng?” He hadn’t lost control like this even when he and Qin Qing broke up back then. Wait, wasn’t Brother Feng a police officer himself?
Detained at the police station? Chi Shuyan felt that this was pretty serious. Even if she couldn’t bear to let the man go, she had to. She hurriedly said, “Then hurry back to the capital. Drive carefully. Don’t worry about me. When I get to the capital, I’ll call you.”
Qi Zhenbai interrupted her and said in a commanding tone, “Call me the day before you go back to the capital. I’ll come and get you!”
Chi Shuyan thought to herself that it was more convenient to take a train back. This man was usually busy. To pick her up from the military district, it would take him a day to get here and then go back. She didn’t want to trouble him, nor could she bear for him to wear himself out. She thought this in her heart, but didn’t refuse. She nodded to indicate that she understood and told him to get in the car quickly.
“There’s no rush tonight. No matter how fast I drive, your Brother Feng has to obediently stay in lockup for the night,” Qi Zhenbai said.
Chi Shuyan was very worried about Brother Feng and said, “If Brother Feng’s fine, give me a call. If his mood really isn’t right, have him stay at our place. There are plenty of empty rooms at home. Clean one up and let Brother Feng stay for a few days!”
As Chi Shuyan spoke, the man suddenly fell silent. He kept staring at her with those dark, sharp eyes, inexplicably putting pressure on her. She was about to speak, when the man suddenly blocked her lips.
She didn’t know if it was because she had offended this man by saying that her father was more important, but when he kissed her, he bit her lips, and her tongue especially hurt.
It was as if he wanted to swallow her whole, and he looked at her the same way. Chi Shuyan subconsciously swallowed her saliva. Her mouth was inexplicably dry, and her whole body turned soft from the kiss. She could only tug tightly at the man’s clothes and gasp for breath.
Chi Shuyan almost passed out from lack of air when the man finally let go. It felt like a century had passed, and her limbs had turned to jelly. She hurriedly gasped for breath as she said, “Okay, okay, get in the car! Brother Feng’s matter is more important!”
