Chapter 191: Qi Zhenbai’s Joy

Chi Shuyan automatically ignored the man’s last sentence. Because she was taking him to the hospital in the evening, Chi Shuyan ate early and then took a taxi to the Qi building when she received the man’s call. She didn’t go in, but waited at the door.

Even so, when Qi Zhenbai came down with a smile and put his arm around her, he still attracted the attention of a lot of people in the company.

Qi Zhenbai was reluctant to part from her. “I’ll go get a car. Wait here!”

Chi Shuyan was a little embarrassed by the gossipy and curious gazes of so many people, but in any case, she was thick-skinned, and turned a blind eye to the constant stares.

She didn’t let the man drive either, given his injured foot, so she directly flagged down a taxi.

Qi Zhenbai rarely took taxis. He would usually drive himself, or had a dedicated driver. Now that he was taking a taxi with his woman, he was also quite happy.

After the two got into the car, Chi Shuyan took a special look at his leg injury given how concerned she was. Qi Zhenbai said not to worry, there was no need to look, he was fine, but when he saw the woman carefully roll up his pants leg to look at his leg injury, the corners of his pursed lips couldn’t help curving up again, and that smile widened all the way to his ears.

Why was his wife so good to him?

On the way back to the apartment after the checkup at the hospital, the smile on Qi Zhenbai’s face never wavered, and he still held onto his wife’s hand.

It wasn’t until Qi Zhenbai returned to the apartment that he let go to turn on the light at the entrance, making the spacious living room bright. Chi Shuyan subconsciously wanted to withdraw her hand then, but someone held it tightly again. Warmth spread from the man’s skin, and Chi Shuyan felt a rare sense of nervousness.

In the end, after the two of them sat down, she thought of the small box, and went to her room to bring it out. She handed it to him and said, “This thing is too precious. I don’t think I can accept it. You should quietly return it for me.”

She hadn’t had a good night’s sleep for the past few days after accepting this, especially when she thought about how this was Grandma Zhou’s prized jewelry. How could Chi Shuyan dare take it? Just one imperial jade was worth over 100 million; it was too precious.

Chi Shuyan hoped that this man would help her, but after she spoke for a while, she saw that the man in front of her was just staring at her. Chi Shuyan got goosebumps all over; those who didn’t know better would think that this man was possessed.

But nothing would dare possess the man in front of her.

To show that he wasn’t possessed, Qi Zhenbai finally said, “Since I had you accept it, take it back to your room and put it away properly. Tomorrow, I’ll give you the dowry my family prepared for my wife. It just so happens that my grandma and my mother gave me all the prized jewelry for my wife!”

This small box of jewelry made her very uneasy. Wouldn’t a few more boxes make her lose half her life?

Moreover, she didn’t want to lose her head over this jewelry. Chi Shuyan immediately refused without thinking.

Qi Zhenbai wasn’t angry at her refusal this time. His lips curled as he coaxed, “Of course, you have another choice. You can choose not to accept Grandma Zhou’s jewelry, but you must accept your future mother-in-law and grandmother’s jewelry!”

Chi Shuyan immediately shook her head. She really didn’t want it at all. The more she had, the more they would burn her hands. She gritted her teeth and racked her brain to come up with an excuse. “What if I lose something so precious? We should take it slow. Yes, take it slow. If it really gets to that stage, it won’t be too late to accept it then!”

She might not be the one to accept it, but some other woman. Nothing was certain yet, and she was determined not to lose herself.

Why did this man hate money so much that would give her all these priceless things? What if her head completely turned one day because of all this, with no going back? He would be the one to suffer.

It was the first time in her life that Chi Shuyan advised someone so earnestly, but the man in front of her didn’t even frown. Instead, his lips curved up lightly as he said, “If you lose them, you lose them. Your husband can still earn it back in the future; it’s fine as long as I don’t lose my wife!” After a pause, the man leaned back languidly against the soft sofa, and a deep smile tugged at his lips. He said faintly, “If I lose my wife, it’ll be hard to earn her back!”
