Brother Feng had something else to attend to and couldn’t take a few days off, so he naturally had to leave first.
What made Chi Shuyan quite curious was that Qi Zhenbai, whom she thought would be busy, decided to stay.
Feng Yuanlin knew that Shuyan would stay, so he wasn’t surprised that Zhenbai would. Before he left, he specially patted his friend’s shoulder to indicate that he should work harder.
Qi Zhenbai didn’t need Feng Yuanlin to tell him twice.
After Feng Yuanlin left, Xiao Shan and Wu Haoming recalled the matter of Qin Qing cheating on Director Feng. They wanted to ask, but their boss had already left the village.
Xiao Shan and Wu Haoming didn’t dare ask President Qi, and instead asked Chi Shuyan directly, “Mas… Sister-in-law, what on earth was that about Director Feng being cheated on? Did that Qin woman really do something to let our Director Feng down?”
At the thought that Qin Qing might have cheated on Director Feng, Xiao Shan and Wu Haoming were furious. If that was the case, they had called that Qin woman Sister-in-law in vain.
Chi Shuyan didn’t have time nor did she want to talk to Brother Feng’s two subordinates about him being cheated on. No matter how she listened, this was bad for Brother Feng. However, she pursed her lips and didn’t deny that Qin Qing had cheated on him. Afraid that the woman would use the two of them, she said, “It’s true, but if you want to know the details, ask Brother Feng in the future! As for whether Brother Feng will tell you or not, that’s up to him.”
With that, Chi Shuyan told the two boys to stay here and not wander around. She went out for a walk around the village.
When Wu Haoming and Xiao Shan learned the truth, their minds went blank again. When they thought of how they had called that Qin woman Sister-in-law just now, they simply regretted it to death. That woman had clearly cheated on their boss, yet she still had the face to let them call her Sister-in-law? This thick skin was simply an eye-opener. They made up their minds to just ignore that Qin woman in the future.
Fortunately for her, she was a woman. If she were a man, the two of them wouldn’t be able to help but want to teach her a lesson!
When they found out that Director Feng had broken up with his pretty girlfriend, they felt that it was a pity. Now that they knew the truth, Wu Haoming and Xiao Shan felt wronged on Director Feng’s behalf, and that he was very wise.
It was better to break up with this kind of woman as soon as possible. If they really got married and the child turned out to belong to another man, it would be disgusting. If that really happened, Xiao Shan and Wu Haoming would vomit blood for Director Feng!
It was better to break up!
It would be even better if Director Feng found a reliable and capable girlfriend like Master Chi!
Chi Shuyan didn’t know that her confirmation had made Xiao Shan and Wu Haoming’s imagination run wild. She was going to take advantage of her free time to walk around the village. Most of all, she wanted to go to the temple where the villagers worshiped. If she couldn’t go in, she could just take a look from afar.
It was just that there was someone following her. Chi Shuyan deliberately pretended not to see him at first, and treated him like he was invisible. The tall man beside her didn’t say much and followed her unhurriedly.
Chi Shuyan tilted her head and saw the other party following her quietly. He spoke very little, so she couldn’t say much. It was just that although this man was taciturn, his presence wasn’t weak at all. She couldn’t ignore him even if she wanted to.
In addition, he was tall and had outstanding looks. Occasionally, they would run into a few villagers, who would look curiously at the man. At first, Chi Shuyan wanted to use the man’s popularity to talk to the villagers and get some information out of them.
It was just that while these villagers were quite enthusiastic in their greetings, they all seemed to have reached a consensus when it came to the secrets of the village. Everyone kept quiet and immediately became especially aloof and vigilant; Chi Shuyan even saw some vague hostility in their eyes. Wanting to get some information out of them was simply harder than ascending to the heavens.
Chi Shuyan was staring silently at the departing backs of the villagers, when a man’s deep and familiar voice suddenly rang out beside her. “Rather than get information out of these villagers, it’s better to use Xiao Shan and Wu Haoming’s relationship with the villagers whom they’re on good terms with. Don’t worry, leave this to me!”
Chi Shuyan was stunned for a moment before she gave the man next to her some attention. She couldn’t help but stare blankly at the extremely familiar cold and hard face in front of her.
This face was still so familiar. She thought she had forgotten what it looked like.
The red evening sun shone on the man’s strong and firm face. Before she could think too much about it, she subconsciously trusted the extremely familiar man next to her.
Chi Shuyan immediately crushed the tiny bit of dependence and trust that had just risen in her heart. Her eyes regained their calm and she nodded. “Okay!”
Qi Zhenbai’s eyes were a bit dim. After that, he didn’t say anything else and just stared at her face with a burning gaze. Chi Shuyan couldn’t pretend to be blind even if she wanted to.
The atmosphere was a little ambiguous as the two of them walked alone on the mudstone road in the village. Chi Shuyan regretted not calling Xiao Shan and Wu Haoming to come out with them. This was so awkward!
After thinking for a moment, she took the initiative to say, “I plan to go to the temple in the village. What about you? If you’re busy with something else, you don’t have to follow me!”
What she meant was that she wanted to go on her own and didn’t need anyone to accompany her. Who would have thought that the man next to her didn’t seem to catch her drift. He pursed his lips and said firmly, “I’ll go with you!”
