Rebirth: Never Live Up to You - C18
“Why are you in such a hurry? There’s someone chasing after you from behind.” He looked at the path she came from, and at the end was a hazy darkness. There was nothing there, but fortunately, he did not follow her, otherwise, it would have been very lively tonight.
“I’m tired. Let’s go back.” Su Wenjin rarely talked like a spoiled child, but she knew that Chi Yinan would never refuse her if she spoke like that. Compared to normal times, he preferred to rely on his Su Wenjin.
“Mm, it’s good to go back earlier.” She didn’t know what he meant by ‘go back earlier’. After pondering for a moment, she decided not to think too much about it. She leaned against the front passenger seat and fell into a deep slumber.
After meeting Lin Jingsheng for two days straight, memories that had been sealed for a long time slowly surfaced in her mind. Thus, Su Wenjin did not sleep well this night. She woke up a few times during the night and also woke up the sleeping Chi Yinan.
They had an appointment for coffee in the afternoon. Su Wenjin took a nap and drove to the appointed location. She could have gotten there earlier, but something happened while she was parking the car. She brushed against a black Audi, causing both cars to crash into each other.
After knocking on the window, she lowered the window and stuffed a business card in. When the man saw the business card, he was stunned for a moment, then he looked at her with a strange gaze. Su Wenjin was not afraid at all and let him size her up, leaning back in his seat and speaking with confidence, “If you don’t believe me, you can call me and tell me the number.” The license plate of this car was chosen by Chi Yinan as well, a few arrogant numbers.
Two tall and big men were whispering to each other outside the car window for a while. Then, they seemed to have gotten an answer. “I’m sorry Miss, I didn’t see it clearly.”
“Sir, you seem to have made a mistake. It was indeed my fault. Leave your number behind, I will be responsible for your maintenance expenses.” He took out Chi Yinan’s name because the two men who came down just now were tall and strong. This was a car park, and they didn’t pass by here, if they were hit, she wouldn’t be calling them “Tian Tian”, but she really didn’t think that Chi Yinan’s name would be so useful, it was just a business card.
The man probably didn’t expect her to say that. After being stunned for a moment, he quickly wrote down the number for her. There was even a name on it.
“May I know how to address you?”
“Surname Su.”
When he reached the coffee shop, he saw the documents on the table. He put it aside and called the waiter to order two cups of coffee and some snacks.
“So busy … If I knew earlier, I wouldn’t have called you out.”
“Even if you’re busy, you still have to come see your young miss Su.” Kieran had become a financial analyst after graduating from school with his expertise. He looked like a strong woman, and he was still in a hurry. He was wearing a black suit and took off his black-rimmed glasses, “How come I heard that Lin Jingsheng is back?”
“Not only have we returned, we’ve also met twice.”
“This is the last one for today, let’s continue tomorrow!”
She knew all too well that relationship was like a lifeline to Su Wenjin. She had once treated that man as the only ray of light in her life, but he had left her with a sweet coat wrapped around her, and she had chosen to go abroad, to have a career and love, and the man’s choice had always been a career.
“You didn’t stab him with a knife.” Kieran made fun of her.
“I’m a good citizen who follows the law. How could I do something like murder and arson? Besides, I’m Mrs. Chi, and the hat I’m wearing is too heavy for me.”
“I don’t believe you didn’t think of getting rid of it.”
Su Wenjin was stunned by his words. He looked like he was in a trance and wanted to get rid of Chi Yinan, unless he had a life and death struggle with Chi Yinan.
“I’m not doing very well right now. Mrs. Chi’s position is not bad.”
“Alright then. Since you feel that it’s not bad, then look to the right.”
Hearing Kieran’s words, she turned her head to the right and saw a pretty lady walking out from under Chi Yinan’s arm. She seemed to have noticed his gaze and turned her head slightly to look at him.
It was actually that Xu Bing again.
Xu Bing also saw Su Wenjin and immediately became even more proud. She held the man beside her tightly and smiled, “Isn’t that Mrs. Chi?”
Chi Yinan’s eyes darkened and his expression became displeased. He quietly slipped his hand from her arm and said in a low voice as usual, “In the future, don’t appear in front of her and make her unhappy. I can’t guarantee that I won’t pull you down.”
Xu Bing’s face froze as he saw the man walk past her to the table by the window. Kieran casually bit his dessert and pointed over.
Su Wenjin didn’t turn his head. He knew it was him just by listening to the footsteps. Chi Yinan pulled out a chair and leaned against her. He put one hand on the back of her chair lazily and took a sip of the coffee in front of her.
“Mrs. Chi is jealous.”
“Don’t you know that I usually drink soy sauce?”
Looking at the couple in front of him, Kieran had the urge to run away, but he could not resist Su Wanzheng’s warning. He could only bite his dessert and pretend that he had heard nothing.
“Warmth, it’s not good to drink too much coffee. Recently, you haven’t been the insomniac.”
“It’s been a long time since I’ve had an insomnia, so it’s not bad to have an occasional insomnia.”
“A sharp tongue.”
“Same here.”
The atmosphere was tense. She knew that if she went against him, perhaps Chi Yinan would be so angry that he would flip over the table. The next second, she would move closer to his face to curry favor with him: “Do you want a cup of coffee?”
“No need, I still have things to do, so I’ll be leaving first. You guys chat.” Chi Yinan had left just like when he had arrived. After the wind had passed, everything had returned to its normal state. Kieran stirred the coffee in his cup until Chi Yinan’s figure had completely disappeared from the door before he said, “Don’t tell me that it was not because of him that I had such an insomnia recently.”
The corner of Su Wenjin’s lips curled up into a smile. “Whether I am or not doesn’t matter much anymore. Don’t forget my current identity.” In City S, how many pairs of eyes did the wife of the Chi family have?
Chi Yinan’s intention was very clear, the banquet was a warning to her, but he was really a weirdo, he obviously didn’t love her, yet he had to make such an expression to show his affection, who knew who he was for.
She left the coffee shop and said goodbye to Kieran at the door. She drove around aimlessly on the street, not knowing where she was going. She was like a soulless creature. The car finally stopped in front of a barber shop.
“Miss, how can I help you?”
Su Wenjin brushed the curls of hair on his shoulders and said, “Shear some bangs.” It had been a long time since she wore bangs. Her hair was split in half, and she was too lazy to put it on her shoulders. Occasionally, she would tie it into a ponytail, and most of the time she would put it behind her head with a clip.
The stylist gave her the hair on her forehead. It was very long, and when she cut it off, her hair would fall down gracefully. She actually felt a bit of heartache. After all, it had been there for a long time.
She closed her eyes and heard only the sound of the scissors. After a long moment, she opened her eyes and stared blankly at the woman in the mirror.
She covered her head and quickly went upstairs. She hated herself so much that she wanted to cut her bangs, so she probably got ridiculed by him for coming back at night.
He took a shower and sat in front of the dressing table to protect his skin. The woman in the mirror had a pointed chin and an oval face. The most beautiful thing was not the dimple at the corner of her mouth, but her bright eyes.
His fingers rubbed the corner of his eyes, and there were actually some thin lines there. If it wasn’t for the fact that he was so close, he wouldn’t have noticed it at all. Time truly was a ruthless thing.
Chi Yinan came back early tonight. As she expected, he was unbuttoning his shirt while waving at her. She pulled over her blanket and covered her head, ignoring him.
“Are you feeling unwell?” The man who was originally sitting on the sofa now moved to the front of the bed. His large hands forcefully pulled at the quilt to expose her head. She curled her lips in displeasure and sat up abruptly, almost hitting his chin.
“What’s going on? I’m sleepy.”
After a long time, he suddenly started laughing, his dark eyes were full of smiles, something was flashing inside, he stretched out his hand and touched her bangs: “Warmth, this Qi Liuhai really looks like he’s a few years younger, aren’t you afraid that people will say you’re young?”
“If you have the ability, then go ahead and act!” He knew he would hit her, so when he first saw his Qi Liuhai, he was also stunned for a moment. It had not been cut for so many years, and with her pointed chin and watery eyes, it was clear that she was still young.
“If I wear the school uniform, people who don’t know me would think I’m married to a high school student.”
“Do you think you’re not eating young grass in your old cow?”
“Hehe, I can’t wait.” The light in his eyes was too familiar. He had seen it countless times in the past three years. Chi Yinan pressed the emotions within his body and kissed her. With a smile, he strode in …
After staring at the bright chandelier on the roof for a while, her eyes began to ache, and she simply turned off the light, leaving only an orange light, shining a yellow light on the room. Chi Yinan came out very quickly, she did not look and only felt the bed sink down, then the blanket was lifted, and she was carried by him.
He seemed to like the bangs she cut today. He kept touching her hair with his fingers and kissed her. Su Wenjin was more anxious than usual. She was forced to put her head back and put her hand around his neck.
