Married to the Protagonist

Chapter 16: Are You Blind? (2)

Halfway through his words, Chai Yue eagerly revealed an expression as if, “Look, that’s what I said!” In the next second over, his expression crumbled.

Yan Cheng said shamelessly, “As for acting lovey-dovey, we have been a couple from the start.”

“…?”

The sunlight on Sunday was much stronger than it was on Saturday.

It contained a suitable amount of warmth, penetrating through the window and sprinkling on the not-so quiet living room. The faint wooden floor seemed to be dyed into another color in the living room too.

In the end, the guests had a satisfied meal.

Chen Jinyao really didn’t boast her cooking skills. There was a whole table of delicious food. After they tasted it, they all gave good ratings for it. To this, Chen Jinyao acted humble on the surface but it was hard to hide the tugging of her lips.

On the dining table, Atai carefully observed Chen Jinyao, seemingly wanting to see something from her face. Chen Jinyao was quite open and even allowed him to size her up and down. Compared to Atai, Chai Yue was a bit more direct. He seemed to want to verify that they were a “loving couple.” Therefore, he kept on asking some useless questions. After receiving flawless answers, he started complimenting Chen Jinyao, saying that they were a wonderful couple and whatnot. Meanwhile, he looked at Yan Cheng, wanting to see if he had reacted in any way. In the end, Chen Jinyao felt extremely pampered by the compliments. As for Yan Cheng, he curled his lips up charmingingly as if to say, “you have great taste.”

“…” Chai Yue was too shocked and frightened by this.

Especially when Yan Cheng patiently and carefully picked out the fish bones for Chen Jinyao. He really widened his eyes and sucked in a cold breath.

This Tyrant Yan actually helped someone pick out the fish bones?

Was he really possessed by an evildoer?

…He probably believed by now that he wasn’t joking around.

But he still didn’t understand a lot of things.

Of course, they knew that even if they had questions, they couldn’t just ask them in front of his wife.

Not to mention, this was their private matter. There was really no need to probe and get to the bottom of this.

Don’t mention how shocked the guests were, but even Chen Jinyao was unable to accept this.

Underneath the table, she lightly kicked him. At the same time, she moved to his ears and whispered, “You were too excessive!”

“Really?” He didn’t think so as he lifted his brows.

Chen Jinyao replied, “Yes. If you continue on, it’d seem too obvious. Just keep it as it is.”

“You’re overthinking. They’ll think that we’re just acting if we don’t do anything more.” Yan Cheng lifted his brows and smiled. “When I carried the tray of fruits out, Chai Yue suspected me. Thankfully, I saved the situation.”

“…” She knitted her brows and stared at him questioningly.

There was music in the living room and because the two of them lowered their voices purposely while chatting, it felt like they were just breathing into each other’s ear gently. The passersby couldn’t hear what exactly they were mumbling about.

Although they couldn’t hear it, they could see it.

They could see that the couple was being intimate and close with one another.

Shao Chongsi narrowed his eyes when he saw this. Clearly, the observing glint in his eyes became richer and deeper.

He picked up the pull-top can by his right and then gulped the can of beer moodily in the end.

Only

After that, he looked up and locked his gaze on Chen Jinyao expressionlessly.

Chen Jinyao had pursued Huo Qidong in the past, in a large-scale manner at that.

However, because that had happened a long time ago, people gradually buried that memory deep inside their minds. If they didn’t actively seek out the memory, they would never remember this.

Shao Chongsi had heard about this when he went to play around in the club.

From a strict perspective, Chen Jinyao, Huo Qidong, and Zhou Xue’s ties go deeper than Yan Cheng, Huo Qidong, and Zhou Xue.

He only got a general understanding of it. After all, back then, Chen Jinyao pursued Huo Qidong just as much as Yan Cheng trying to please Zhou Xue. Later on, he heard that Chen Jinyao had done something to Zhou Xue, leading Huo Qidong to place their relationship to the side and curse her out. The scolding probably hurt Chen Jinyao’s heart. After that, she stopped appearing by Huo Qidong’s side every day. Even more, she started hiding from him. It was heard that after the college entrance exams, she was originally going to the same university as Huo Qidong, changed her mind last minute and chose an university in another city, deciding to learn medicine.

Since high school, Chen Jinyao was known as the bad girl and a young miss that bullied the weak because she came from a powerful and wealthy family.

Even if they went to look through her university’s forums, they could still find some news on that.
