Chapter 1286: Distancing Herself

Chi Shuyan had just spoken to Xie Mingxuan and was in a good mood. When she met Qi Zhenbai’s eyes, she almost choked. Why was this man here?

And what was with that intimate tone?

Chi Shuyan didn’t want to waste time arguing with the man in front of her. She glanced at him, then simply pretended not to see him. She ignored him, walked around the car and prepared to leave.

But before she could do so, the black car stopped in front of her again. The taxi that was about to arrive drove away in the blink of an eye. Chi Shuyan was furious, but the man’s tone was deep and overbearing. “Get in!”

Chi Shuyan glanced at him indifferently and refused without giving him any face. “There’s really no need!”

With that, she planned to walk around Qi Zhenbai’s car and leave quickly.

Suddenly, a very familiar and intimate voice rang out from inside the car. “Sister-in-law!”

Who else could it be, but Qi Hao?

In the blink of an eye, Qi Hao got out of the car on the other side. He was happy and excited to see her, then thought of something and asked with wide eyes, “Sister-in-law, why aren’t you getting into Cousin’s car?”

Chi Shuyan hadn’t expected Qi Hao to be in Qi Zhenbai’s car. Seeing him, Chi Shuyan’s cold attitude changed and she perked up. Speaking of which, the two of them hadn’t seen each other for a while, so she was in a good mood at this sudden meeting. This time, she wasn’t in a hurry to leave, but stopped and took the initiative to talk to Qi Hao.

Despite finding Qi Hao pleasing to the eye, however, she still pretended not to see the tall man in the car.

Seeing that Chi Shuyan was in a good mood, Qi Hao was overjoyed. “Sister-in-law, I missed you so much!”

As he spoke, he rushed over excitedly to hug her.

Chi Shuyan didn’t refuse Qi Hao’s enthusiasm and generously let him hug her. She was prepared to pat his shoulder and let go, but he was probably too excited and enthusiastic; he hugged her tightly and didn’t let go.

Chi Shuyan was helpless against Qi Hao’s enthusiasm. She was about to tell him to stop and let go, when the man in the car looked at her with a dark and cold gaze.

When their eyes suddenly met, Chi Shuyan’s first thought was that the man’s eyes were too bloodshot. Who knew how long it had been since he slept. What was he busy with?

But thinking about how they had nothing to do with each other now, Chi Shuyan decisively looked away.

Qi Zhenbai’s face grew stiffer and more expressionless, especially when he saw his wife hugging another man tightly. His face was dark and gloomy as he stared fixedly at his cousin’s back with a sharp gaze, making the latter feel like there was a knife pressed to his back. Qi Zhenbai coughed softly a few times, then suddenly said coldly, “Okay, Haozi, haven’t you hugged enough?”

The man’s tone was dangerous and low, the magnetic quality to it making one tense up and be afraid to act presumptuously.

Hearing his cousin’s words, Qi Hao shuddered when he thought of how possessive his cousin was when it came to his sister-in-law. He hurriedly let go and looked at his cousin. Sure enough, his cousin’s face was dark and especially unsightly.

Qi Hao panicked under his cousin’s stare and hurriedly said, “Cousin, I… I missed Sister-in-law too much after not seeing her for so long.”

With that, he quickly said to Chi Shuyan, “Sister-in-law, we’re all family. There’s no harm if we hug. Sister-in-law, you definitely don’t mind, right?”

It had been too long since she last saw Qi Hao, this clown. This kid was so good at creating a lively atmosphere and talking, which really put Chi Shuyan in a good mood. Although she was helpless when this kid kept calling her “Sister-in-law,” that didn’t stop her from favoring Qi Hao. She didn’t care if it was a slap to Qi Zhenbai’s face or not, and her lips curved up. “I don’t mind!”

Qi Hao originally thought that his cousin would fly into a rage. Who would have thought that his cousin would only take a few more glances at him this time? He wasn’t angry, and seemed to be in a good mood.

Qi Hao naturally didn’t know that the way he said “Sister-in-law” and “family” warmed Qi Zhenbai’s heart, and most of his jealousy disappeared.

His cousin said, “Bring your sister-in-law into the car!”

Qi Hao’s eyes lit up and he hurriedly invited his sister-in-law into the car.

Chi Shuyan obviously didn’t plan to fall for it, and flagged down another taxi. It wasn’t long before a taxi stopped not far away. Before Chi Shuyan left, she patted Qi Hao’s shoulder and said, “I have something else to do today. I’ll treat you to a meal next time. By the way, I’ve already broken up with your cousin. Call me ‘Sister’ or just use my name in the future. Don’t call me ‘Sister-in-law.’ It’s unfair to the wife your cousin will find in the future!”

Chi Shuyan didn’t know how to be gentle when dropping bombshells. After throwing out these ‘bombs,’ she walked toward the taxi.

It was the first time Qi Had had heard about the breakup. His mind went blank and he was stupefied. Because he was too shocked, he gaped in disbelief and confusion. He had long forgotten that he had to stop her, and was stupefied as he watched his sister-in-law get into a taxi.

Qi Zhenbai was quick. Before Chi Shuyan could get into the taxi and close the door, he strode over and grabbed her wrist tightly.

Compared with his usual calm, the man’s expression at that moment could really be said to be ugly and uneasy. Chi Shuyan didn’t know if it was because of her words just now, but the veins on the man’s forehead and neck, and even his arm, bulged. If he hadn’t still had some sense, he would have broken her wrist.

Qi Zhenbai’s eyes gradually turned bloodshot and his face turned ugly and gloomy, like a storm was brewing.

Chi Shuyan wasn’t afraid of the man’s ugly expression. She said lightly and coldly, “Anything else?”

After a moment of silence, the man squeezed out the words through gritted teeth. “Are you that anxious to cut ties with me?”
