1660 Slapped In the Face
If they hadn’t come face to face, Chi Shuyan really wouldn’t have bothered with her. She didn’t have much to say to this woman. More and more black cadaveric qi had gathered on her face, and Chi Shuyan simply pretended not to see it. She nodded expressionlessly at the other party in greeting, then took her man’s arm and prepared to leave.
“Excuse me?” Chai Qing really didn’t plan to greet the Chi woman in front of her, but seeing how the other party acted like she was completely invisible, she felt uncomfortable. Before she knew it, she was already blocking the Chi woman’s way. She was about to speak, when she saw the face of the man next to the other woman.
Chai Qing immediately sucked in a cold breath of air and was stupefied. The tall man’s cold appearance really had too big of an impact. She even forgot that she had been about to pick a fight. Her eyes were glued to his face and she couldn’t look away. She was stupefied. What was the relationship between this man and the Chi woman?
Seeing Chai Qing’s expression, how could Chi Shuyan not know that the woman had been struck dumb by her man? She lamented inwardly that her man was a calamity. She subconsciously tilted her head to look at him, and saw that this attention and eyes were fixed on her and nothing else.
Fine, this man was quite self-aware. Chi Shuyan was quite satisfied. She pondered for a moment, glanced at the unfamiliar man next to Chai Qing, then took the initiative to introduce Qi Zhenbai to the woman in front of her. “Miss Chai, this is my husband!”
This was to prevent this woman from thinking that she had ulterior motives toward Xia Mingcheng, and to prevent her from pointing fingers and scolding Chi Shuyan behind her back.
She felt that she had nothing to say to Chai Qing after that, so she left with her man.
Chi Shuyan brushed past Chai Qing, who turned even more stupefied and shocked at her words, her eyes filled with disbelief.
She even forgot the man next to her at that moment. She turned her head abruptly and stared fixedly at the man and woman not far away. The man was tall and had one hand on the shoulder of the woman next to him at that moment. The two of them were very close, and occasionally leaned in to talk to each other. Apart from that, there was no other deliberate intimacy, but the atmosphere between the two of them was clearly very sweet and harmonious.
Chai Qing’s face alternated between shock and malevolence. Her face turned green and white in a marvelous but ugly display.
It had to be pointed out that before this, she had always been certain that the Chi woman was interested in Brother Xia. She had also gloated that no matter how much that Chi woman liked Brother Xia and how good-looking she was, Brother Xia wouldn’t like her or respond to her.
She had really gloated a lot recently.
But in the blink of an eye, she was suddenly slapped in the face tonight. At the thought of the imposing man next to the Chi woman, who couldn’t be described as just ‘good-looking,’ Chai Qing felt suffocated and inexplicably jealous.
Even Chai Qing couldn’t say that Brother Xia was better-looking compared with that man. The two of them really weren’t on the same level at all.
It could be said that she had never seen such a good-looking man in her life. Not only was he good-looking, he had a formidable bearing and aura. His aura was oppressive even when he was just standing still, and was even better than those movie stars on TV. One could imagine how superb that man was.
Moreover, the superior aura around the man just now indicated that he wasn’t an ordinary person. Such a man was actually the husband of that Chi woman?
Thinking this, Chai Qing’s face turned green and white. She didn’t even hear the man next to her speaking. She felt even more suffocated and jealous, and she felt even more humiliated. She had mocked that Chi woman back then, and her words now came back to haunt her.
Chai Qing still didn’t want to believe that such an outstanding man was actually the husband of that Chi woman. She would rather the other party hadn’t said anything just now. At least, she could have thought other things, such as that Chi woman being a mistress.
But even if that was the case, she would still be a mistress of such an outstanding man. The more Chai Qing thought about it, the angrier she became. The fire in her heart burned brighter and brighter as she gasped for breath and glared.
In the distance, Qi Zhenbai seemed to sense something, and suddenly turned his head. The man’s handsome eyebrows were lowered and his face was cold and hard. His eyes were cold and sharp, and his oppressive gaze swept over Chai Qing like a blade. Chai Qing was so scared that her face turned pale and her heart thumped. She hurriedly turned her head and woke up from her reverie.
“Xiao Qing, were those two your friends just now?” Seeing her come back to her senses, the man next asked again, “Why didn’t you say more? Your two friends don’t look like ordinary people at a glance, especially that man just now. I didn’t even dare greet him!”
Chai Qing had been quite satisfied with the man next to her just now and had planned to continue dating him, but when she thought of the husband of the Chi woman and how ordinary this man was in comparison, the gloom in her heart that had just dissipated gathered again, and she felt incredibly stifled.
Hearing his useless words, Chai Qing simply wanted to vomit blood. Her face flushed red. She wanted to curse, but couldn’t utter a word.
The man didn’t know what she was thinking at all, and even advised her nicely, “Xiao Qing, you should get along with that friend of yours and maintain a good relationship. Her husband is definitely not an ordinary person.”
Chai Qing: “…Get lost!”
