Chapter 62 - Dare Seduce Other Men?



Chapter 62: Dare Seduce Other Men?

Zhu Bocheng was dazed by Qi Zhenbai’s decision to come over, his face filled with question marks. What was Zhenbai coming over for? He didn’t know if he was mistaken, but he got the feeling that his friend seemed a little too proactive today. When Zuo Bocheng called him to come out, he would be turned down eight out of ten times, and directly hung up on the other two times.

Could it be that his friend’s conscience had awakened?

Zhu Bocheng pondered for a moment and was confident that this was the most logical explanation. He never considered that Chi Shuyan might be the reason. After all, every time the two met, they would be no better off than ordinary strangers if it wasn’t for him.

Qi Zhenbai arrived at the Zhu family’s house. When he entered and stepped into the living room, he saw a harmonious family scene.

Father and Mother Zhu were full of smiles as they talked animatedly with Chi Shuyan, who was sitting on the leather sofa across from them. Next to her, Zhu Bocheng would turn to the side from time to time and ask her solicitously if she wanted to eat any fruit. With her back to Qi Zhenbai, he couldn’t see the expression on her face, but seeing this scene of parents meeting a girlfriend, anger inexplicably welled up from the depths of his heart. His thick eyebrows knitted together deeply, and his majestic, sharp phoenix eyes were dim and bottomless as emotion flashed in them.

“Huh, Zhenbai, what are you doing here? Come and have a seat!” It was Mother Zhu with her sharp eyes who first spotted Qi Zhenbai coming in.

As soon as Mother Zhu said this, the other three looked over, and Father Zhu was a bit surprised. Then, with a cordial, fawning look on his face, he hurriedly received Qi Zhenbai and had him sit down. The one thing Father Zhu was most satisfied with about his son was him making good friends with the capable Ninth Young Master of the Qi family.

Qi Zhenbai didn’t care about Father and Mother Zhu’s gazes. His cold slender eyes passed over Chi Shuyan as if at a glance. She turned her head for one moment and met his gaze, but unfortunately, she quickly looked away and lowered her eyes. Her thick eyelashes fluttered like small fans; it was like they were brushing at his heart, which inexplicably skipped a beat. Dim light flashed through his sharp eyes, but only for one fleeting moment, before his frosty gaze finally landed on Zhu Bocheng’s face. He then shifted his gaze and handed the gift box in his hands to Father and Mother Zhu. “A little token of my appreciation, Uncle and Auntie; please accept it.

“Uncle, Auntie, I’m sorry to bother you!” Qi Zhenbai’s face was deep and cold, with no emotion visible in his dark eyes. He was tall and upright with sharp eyebrows in his pressed suit; looking at him, he must have just come from the company.

“There was no need to bring a gift. Zhenbai, feel free to come when you have the time. This boy, Bocheng, has turned over a new leaf. I haven’t thanked you yet, have I?” Father Zhu said cheerfully. Although he was flattering Qi Zhenbai, he wasn’t excessive about it, and his affectionate tone was very comfortable to listen to.

“Exactly, why did you come with a gift? You’re such a sensible and caring child.” Mother Zhu was more welcoming than Father Zhu and genuinely fond of Qi Zhenbai. On the other hand, Father Zhu said that the Qi family had a powerful background and Zhenbai was capable. With her son hanging out with the Ninth Young Master of the Qi family, his future would be smooth sailing, so she was also at ease.

Of course, most women were into looks, and Mother Zhu was no different. Coupled with Qi Zhenbai’s superior upbringing, Mother Zhu’s eyes lit up every time she looked at him, and she wished that he was her own son. It was a pity that she had a son who was good-looking but nothing compared with the Ninth Young Master of the Qi family. At that moment, Mother Zhu’s tone was extremely gentle.

“Zhenbai! Sister Shuyan and I have been waiting for you for a long time!” Seeing his good friend this time, Zhu Bocheng told himself that he couldn’t neglect his friends for a girl. He quickly got up and pulled Chi Shuyan up by the wrist with him to greet Qi Zhenbai.

Qi Zhenbai’s indifferent eyes instantly sharpened a bit. Zhu Bocheng somehow felt that this friend’s eyes on him didn’t seem right and were a little chilly.

“Hi!” Chi Shuyan had to greet him even if she didn’t want to, but when she saw his face, her face stiffened a bit. Qi Zhenbai didn’t seem to see her embarrassment and gave a rare smile. Because he rarely smiled, however, it looked stiff no matter how you looked at it. His eyes narrowed as he stared at their clasped hands, and his smile started to fade. As he drew closer, his imposing manner grew stronger.

Zhu Bocheng was so startled by his friend’s aura that he subconsciously let go, while Chi Shuyan inexplicably felt like she had been caught having an affair. Impossible; she was definitely overthinking it.

Seeing that Zhu Bocheng had tactfully let go, Qi Zhenbai was satisfied. He finally spoke, but his eyes never left the woman in front of him. He took the initiative to stretch out his hand. “Long time no see!”

Seeing that the man in front of her, who was obsessed with cleanliness, had taken the initiative to reach out to her, Chi Shuyan dazedly stuck out her own hand, which he immediately grasped.

In order to not be disdained too much, Chi Shuyan was going to withdraw her hand as soon as she shook his, but a pair of big cold hands held on tightly. She couldn’t pull her hand away no matter how hard she tried.

Feeling the softness in his hand, Qi Zhenbai suddenly thought of what Celestial Master Zhang said about their deep affinity with each other and how they might be destined to marry. The way he looked at the woman in front of him became more and more unfathomable. He waited a long time before letting go. Before letting go, he pulled her steadily to his side and put some distance between them and Zhu Bocheng. The others didn’t sense the anomaly in the man in front of him, but Chi Shuyan sensed that he was too different from usual. She was about to speak, when a low, magnetic male voice suddenly sounded. It was so soft that only the two of them could hear, and his tone lacked force. “Stay beside me; you dare seduce other men?”

Chi Shuyan: …

“So you two know each other?” Surprised, Mother Zhu was promptly enlightened and didn’t think much about it. Although this little girl was young, she was very capable. Since she knew Bocheng, it wasn’t that strange for her to know Qi Zhenbai, who was in Fuzhou with Bocheng.

Father Zhu’s thinking, on the other hand, wasn’t as simple as Mother Zhu’s. He was a shrewd businessman with very keen instincts, and could be considered to understand Qi Zhenbai’s indifferent workaholic character.

It was really strange for him to suddenly rush over for a so-called friend. Moreover, judging from his suit, he must have just rushed over from the company and probably skipped work. He was also very familiar with that little girl, so Father Zhu’s eyes became more and more strange.

“Yeah, the three of us have known each other since we were in Fuzhou.” Although Zhu Bocheng sensed the strange atmosphere and felt that his friend’s familiarity with his ‘future wife’ had increased sharply to the point that they seemed more intimate, he didn’t think much of it.

Chi Shuyan was truly stumped by the series of actions and words of the man beside her. And what was with his last sentence? What did he mean by staying by his side and daring to seduce other men?

They weren’t that close, were they? These words weren’t suitable for the two of them, were they? Or did this man suddenly have a seizure and had mistaken her for someone else?

The more Chi Shuyan thought about it, the more she felt that the man’s actions were unfathomable; compared with him, she was more willing to talk to Zhu Bocheng. Chi Shuyan took advantage of the moment when he was exchanging pleasantries with Father and Mother Zhu to turn her head and suddenly lean close to Zhu Bocheng’s ear and ask, “Is there something wrong with this friend of yours?”
