Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The car drove to Imperial Restaurant. Qi Zhenbai had just finished work at the company and had yet to eat dinner. Imperial Restaurant was nearby, and Chef Li’s cooking was famous. Qi Zhenbai was also the one who had funded the restaurant.

The man simply took his wife to Imperial Restaurant for dinner.

The third floor of Imperial Restaurant not only had a private room specially reserved for Chi Shuyan, there was also one for Qi Zhenbai.

Qi Zhenbai took his wife to the private room. Not long after, Chef Li came over. He looked at the two of them with some subtle joy and relief.

Qi Zhenbai told Chi Shuyan to order, but she didn’t need to. Chef Li knew what Miss Shuyan’s favorite dishes were.

Qi Zhenbai had never been a picky eater and ate everything. After the man casually ordered a few dishes, Chef Li prepared to go to the kitchen to prepare them.

Just as Chef Li was about to leave, Chi Shuyan specially exhorted him not to trouble himself with cooking too much as it would be a waste.

Without waiting for Chef Li to speak, Qi Zhenbai immediately echoed his wife and nodded. “Mm, don’t waste it!”

Seeing that Miss Shuyan was getting along well with this Qi family member, Chef Li heaved a sigh of relief. Although Miss Shuyan had suddenly returned to the villa, the two of them should be fine.

On one hand, he was happy that Miss Shuyan and Young Master Qi were doing well. On the other hand, he was quite disappointed that Miss Shuyan might only be staying at the villa for the time being, and would probably go back with Young Master Qi in a few days.

Thinking this, Chef Li quickly left.

When Chef Li went out and closed the door, Chi Shuyan’s cold gaze fell on the man, who was still holding her hand. The two of them had been holding hands for so long. Even though the private room was air-conditioned, their palms were sweaty and sticky, and it was very uncomfortable.

It was hot in summer, and Chi Shuyan didn’t have much patience. In addition, she wasn’t feeling charitable toward the man lately, which made her even angrier. If she wasn’t afraid that this man would go crazy again, she would have forcefully pulled her hand away.

......

Under the bright light, no matter how she looked at him, she felt that this man was very normal. At that moment, she couldn’t help but say impatiently, “Can you let go of my hand first?” ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ (f)ir(e).nᴇt

Qi Zhenbai didn’t feel hot. He held his wife’s hand and felt even more relaxed. As for the sticky sweat on their palms, he ignored it.

It was just that he could see some anger on his wife’s face. She was already here; why should he be afraid of her running away?

Besides, even if his wife didn’t say anything, she treasured him very much in her heart. Qi Zhenbai was calm today and wasn’t provoked; he was especially normal. At that moment, his thin lips curved up in a gentle smile. “Okay! I’ll listen to you!”

The man let go of her hand and looked at her indulgently and helplessly, as if she was deliberately acting cute with him. Chi Shuyan’s scalp turned numb and she felt goosebumps all over her body.

Chi Shuyan felt that if the man next to her continued looking at her, she wouldn’t be able to eat properly.

And what had he said in the car?

What did he mean by her not being allowed to cry anymore?

When did she cry?

Chi Shuyan couldn’t help but think of how this man had sounded certain last night that she had been jealous and had cried over him eating with another woman.

Chi Shuyan immediately remembered the incident yesterday at noon.

Not to mention that she hadn’t cried at all back then, her eyes hadn’t even turned red after she gave the two a few cold glances. Of course, Chi Shuyan firmly refused to admit that her heart had felt so uncomfortable that she couldn’t breathe.

If Assistant Zhu hadn’t been around, she might really have felt vulnerable for a while.

It had been unbearable back then, but now that she had let go of some things, she recalled what happened yesterday. If she had really cried, she would have despised herself.

But this man in front of her looked so sure. When did he see her cry over him?

Did this man have to be so shameless?

Chi Shuyan sneered inwardly and refused to admit it. “By the way, who told you that I cried my eyes out with jealousy over you with another woman? Do you think that’s possible?”

When she said that, Chi Shuyan thought to herself that the only person who could have told this man something like that was Assistant Zhu. How on earth did he convey the message? Or was Qi Zhenbai’s imagination playing tricks on him?

Between that or an unreliable Assistant Zhu, Chi Shuyan felt that the former was more likely. She found the man in front of her more and more displeasing.

Qi Zhenbai was especially understanding of his wife’s determination not to admit that she had cried and been sad. He said indulgently and helplessly, “Okay, I’ll listen to you! Wife, you didn’t cry!”

Even if his wife didn’t admit it, she couldn’t deny the fact that she had cried because of him. The more Qi Zhenbai thought about it, the wider his smile became, and he was in a very good mood.

After a few dishes were served first, Qi Zhenbai took the initiative to pick up food for his wife as he spoke to her gently.

Because this man had directly flipped over a table full of food last night, Chi Shuyan could only grit her teeth and pick up some food from her bowl.

She originally didn’t have much of an appetite, but Chef Li’s cooking was really good. In addition, most of these dishes were her favorites. Even if Chi Shuyan didn’t have an appetite at first, she started to feel a little hungry.

Moreover, these dishes were specially made by Chef Li. Even if she didn’t like the Qi man next to her, there was no need to make things difficult for her stomach, right?

Disliking the man and eating were two different things. After thinking this through, Chi Shuyan stopped arguing and ignored the man as she buried her head in her food.

The imposing and cold man increasingly felt that his wife didn’t mean what she said. She clearly cared about him, but wouldn’t admit it. She looked like she didn’t want to bother with him, but when he put food into her bowl, she immediately picked it up happily.

Qi Zhenbai came to a conclusion: Assistant Zhu was right. His wife really cared about him.

After coming to this conclusion, the man’s mood improved even more. It was lethal how his cold and sharp face softened noticeably.

It was just that Chi Shuyan was already immune to the man. She didn’t look at him and just buried her head in her food.

Qi Zhenbai didn’t eat either. He only cared about his wife, and continued to pick up food for her with his chopsticks.

Only when her bowl was full did he himself start eating.
