Su Chen had been waiting for her to say this. He had already made up his mind to follow Yi Xiangnuan, but he didn't want his motive to be too obvious. That was why he had gone through so much trouble.
The two of them slowly came down from the room. When they were still standing on the stairs, they could already see the lonely figure in the living room. He was dressed in plain casual clothes, which made him look tall and straight. Even his hair was neatly trimmed, so it did not cover his eyes. Yi Xiangnuan walked down and was about to call his name when Su Chen glared at him. He swallowed the words he had not said. She made a face in her heart and said,"Auntie Qi said you were looking for me?"
Ji Qianmu nodded her head lightly. She looked at her and frowned worriedly." Why don't you look too good?”
Yi Xiangnuan had just fallen ill. Although he was no longer in any serious condition, the paleness of his face and the exhaustion in his eyes could not be hidden. She smiled nonchalantly and waved her hand." I'm fine. I just had a fever two days ago and I'm about to recover."”
Su Chen looked at the two of them asking questions and answering questions, not paying any attention to what he meant. He covered his face unhappily and coughed twice, desperately trying to make his presence known.
However, Yi Xiangnuan only shot him a baffling glance and did not say anything. Ji Qianmu's eyes were filled with blame as she said to Yi Xiangnuan,""How did you get sick?"
That day, Yi Xiangnuan secretly ran out to see Su Chen. He had been worried ever since he went back. After all, based on the situation on the day of the wedding, he felt that if Su Chen found out, he would probably make things difficult for her. He couldn't let his guard down, so he sent someone to keep an eye on the Su family's surroundings. In the end, someone came back and told him that Yi Xiangnuan hadn't left the house for a few days. He immediately felt that something was wrong and went straight to the Smiths in a panic.
Su Chen was frustrated by the gazes of these two people. It was fine if he couldn't get a word in edgewise, but what was the meaning of Ji Qianmu's gaze just now?
Yi Xiangnuan pretended not to see anything and answered truthfully," I just caught a cold. Don't worry."”
"That's good." Ji Qianmu looked at Su Chen meaningfully once again and said with concern,""You still have to be more careful. Although the weather is hot now, I can't stand it when the air conditioner blows on me all the time, let alone a girl like you.”
Su Chen had completely exploded. He stretched out his long arms and pulled Yi Xiangnuan into his embrace to declare his sovereignty. He smiled politely at Ji Qianmu." You don't have to worry about this, Mr. Ji. I will naturally take good care of my wife.”
His gaze was cold and provocative, and his words and actions were trying to draw a clear line between Ji Qianmu and Yi Xiangnuan.
Ji Qianmu shot him a glance without batting an eyelid and thought that he was childish.
After all, the two of them were no longer as close as they were five years ago. Yi Xiangnuan still felt a little uncomfortable after being hugged by Su Chen in front of everyone. Moreover, he was obviously angry. She tried to struggle a few times, but it was useless. She quietly reached out to his waist and threatened him in a low voice,""If you don't let go, I'll pinch your waist.”
Su Chen's expression didn't change. Not only did he not let go, but he even tilted his head and kissed her cheek affectionately. He replied in the same volume as her,""You didn't let go even after you pinched me. I'm hugging my wife in my own house. Is there a problem, Mrs. Smith?”
In the end, Yi Xiangnuan was defeated by his shameless behavior. After putting some distance between the two of them, he asked Ji Qianmu again,""What do you want to tell me?"
Ji Qianmu looked at the two of them behaving intimately in front of her. Although she knew that Su Chen was doing it on purpose, she still had an awkward expression on her face. He adjusted his expression and glanced at Su Chen, who was standing beside Yi Xiangnuan, without saying anything.
Yi Xiangnuan quickly understood that the matter she had asked him to help her with was probably settled. She did not ask any more questions and nodded." Okay, I understand. Thank you."”
Su Chen's face instantly turned ashen. He had clearly seen Ji Qianmu's gaze just now. It was as if she was saying," With an outsider like him around, I can't say that you want him to leave." Yet, Yi Xiangnuan did not ask anything and immediately understood? Very good, she had grown up and dared to have secrets with another man behind his back.
"You're welcome."
Ji Qianmu originally wanted to just reply politely, but when she thought of Su Chen's expression just now, she deliberately added," Your business is my business. There's no need to thank me.”
Would Su Chen let him end it so proudly? Of course not! Hence, he reached out and poked Yi Xiangnuan, who had been ignoring him, on the shoulder. His attitude was firm." Hey, come here. I have something to tell you too."”
Yi Xiangnuan naturally did not believe him. He turned around and looked at him." What?”
"This one."
Su Chen waited for the right moment. The moment she turned around, he reached out to lift her chin and planted a deep kiss on her lips. His other hand was firmly on the back of her head. No matter how she pushed and hit him, he wouldn't budge. It was only after the kiss that he returned to his original posture. He smiled as he looked at Ji Qianmu, whose expression was ugly. Then, he used the tone of a host to politely ask him to stay for dinner." Mr. Ji is already here. Are you going to leave after dinner?”
Although he said that, Ji Qianmu knew very well that this was not an invitation. Furthermore, the two of them were so sweet, what was the point of him staying here? He waved his hand and stood up." I still have something to do. I won't disturb you anymore."”His gaze finally landed on Yi Xiangnuan, and he seemed a little bitter." I'll be leaving first."”
"I'll send-"
"Take care."
Yi Xiangnuan was interrupted by Su Chen before he could finish his sentence. His hand that was wrapped around her body also secretly exerted force to make her unable to move. Ji Qianmu smiled awkwardly and left." There's no need.”
Su Chen only let go of Ji Qianmu after she walked out of the Su family's main doors. Yi Xiangnuan stood up and scolded him,""Why are you so petty? Don't you know how embarrassing your actions just now were? The dignified head of the R.C Corporation was actually this petty?”
As she spoke, she showed her pinky fingernail, her eyes filled with…contempt.
Su Chen slapped her hand away and snorted in dissatisfaction." Heh, you're flirting with him. Do you expect me to be nice?" I'm already being polite by not asking people to chase him out. Yi Xiangnuan, don't push your luck.”
"It's clearly your own attitude problem, and you're still blaming me? Tyrannical! Unreasonable!"
"I'm bossy?"
Su Chen narrowed his eyes and took a step closer to her.
"I'm unreasonable?"
He took another step closer.
Yi Xiangnuan suddenly started to feel a little scared. He was so scared that he sat back down on the sofa. However, for the sake of his own face, his eyes did not flinch.
Su Chen took a deep breath and punched the back of the sofa." Alright, Yi Xiangnuan, remember what you said today. If you have the ability, you'd better not come begging me."”# Daguan Review Passed: Daguan Time:122120183:49AM
