When Chi Shuyan left quietly earlier, she thought that the man had long fallen asleep. Who would have thought that the man wasn’t asleep yet? He even knew that she had gone out.
Chi Shuyan didn’t know why she subconsciously felt guilty at troubling that man again, especially when she heard the anxiety in his voice just now. She really felt a little guilty.
Chi Shuyan returned to the apartment as soon as possible. When she got back, the lights in the living room were indeed on.
She took off her shoes and went in, only to see the man sitting on the sofa in the living room, neatly dressed and expressionless. Seeing her enter, he didn’t say a word. His thin lips were pursed tightly and his face was serious.
Chi Shuyan almost felt like she had gone back in time to when she had been scolded by the class teacher over her mock exam.
She hadn’t felt anything when she saw this man’s cold face in the past, but now, Chi Shuyan didn’t know what to feel. Her heart thumped slightly, and she forced a smile and feigned a usual greeting. “Hi, why aren’t you asleep yet? I thought you were asleep!”
After she said this, the man’s face in front of her grew colder, and the atmosphere became deathly silent.
Neither of them spoke. Chi Shuyan didn’t know what to say, but the man in front of her obviously didn’t intend to say a word. He pursed his thin lips, his face still very cold.
Chi Shuyan thought that in the end, this man had been worried about her, so she took a step back and said, “I received a phone call from a panicked Chengfu earlier. Something big happened in their dormitory, so he called me for help. It was 3 am at that time, and I thought you were asleep, so I didn’t disturb you!”
Only then did Qi Zhenbai’s face soften a bit, but he then thought of how this woman had gone out alone in the middle of the night. Even though he knew she wasn’t an ordinary woman, he still couldn’t help but feel anxious, and his relaxed expression couldn’t help but turn ugly.
When he first found out that she was missing, he had never been so anxious in his life! He didn’t receive any word; he even called Qi Hao late at night, and got even more anxious when he found out that the latter hadn’t seen his woman.
In his eyes, she was his woman and not some Celestial Master.
Seeing the man’s face soften, Chi Shuyan sat on the side and took the initiative to tell him about Lu Chengfu’s dormitory.
She spoke lightly, but Qi Zhenbai’s heart stirred as he listened. Although his expression was cold, his hands kept trembling as he listened to her account. His face, which had just relaxed a bit, turned black again. He didn’t care about the lives of others. Calling him cold-blooded was fine, but he wanted this woman to be safe and sound!
Qi Zhenbai had always been a reserved person. Even if he was worried in his heart, he didn’t let the woman beside him notice in the slightest. However, Chi Shuyan accidentally saw the man’s trembling hand next to her, and for the first time in her life, she felt that dating this man was pretty good.
Although this man was overbearing, he was indeed concerned about her. It was like when he injured his foot before, and it was the same this time. He protected her the first time, while he was worried about her this time. It was all for her. Her heart softened at once, and she suddenly took the initiative to hold the man’s hand. “Don’t worry, I’m really fine! If something happened, would I still be standing in front of you?”
Qi Zhenbai suddenly hugged her and put her on his lap. Although the two of them had kissed a few times, they had never done such an intimate thing.
Chi Shuyan was suddenly hugged like a child as she sat on the lap of the man in front of her. Her expression was so awkward and stiff that she subconsciously wanted to struggle free, but the man suddenly hugged her tightly. His grip was very tight, but his tone remained unhurried. “It’s good that you’re fine!”
