Chapter 6

Chi Yunshan lay back on the bed, wanting to go back to sleep. She tried to close her eyes, but she just couldn't fall asleep.

If the last time Chi Yunyi went out to order a male model was just a coincidence, then this time it was solid evidence, and it was evidence that Xiang Yu found personally.

There is no way to justify this.

Last time, she could have just made a move as a sister to show her attitude and shut Xiang Yu up. But now, the emperor was far away, and all she could do was call Chi Yunyi and tell her not to get caught by Xiang Yu. Damn, Chi Yunyi never answered the phone once.

The impending marriage affected the future cooperation between the two families and the Chi family's reputation in the industry. Chi Yunshan grabbed her phone from the bedside and called Xiang Yu.

Xiang Yu was already on his way. After Chi Yunshan hung up the phone, he put on his suit jacket and went out, asking the driver to come and take him to the designated location. After receiving the call, Chi Yunshan said, "Catch the person first, and let me know when you catch him. Chi Yunyi is still young and doesn't know the severity of the situation. Don't blame her yet. I'll teach her a lesson when I get back. I promise this will definitely be the last time."

"Let's handle this privately first and don't inform either parent, okay?"

"Um."

In the quiet car, Xiang Yu closed his eyes. The window opened a crack, letting the wind whistle in. The restlessness in his body slowly subsided. With the window rolled up, Xiang Yu called Xu Chunan.

"What's wrong, son?"

"I have something to trouble you with."

"Go ahead."

"Let's get engaged as soon as possible. The sooner the better."

-

Chi Yunyi didn't know what was going to greet her next.

Xiang Yu's investigative skills were comparable to those of a wealthy woman on guard against her husband's infidelity; his movements were as swift as a pack of wolves on the hunt. A moment later, the car stopped in front of the store.

Just as the driver was about to get out to open the door for him, the door opened by itself. Xiang Yu got out and the driver made way for him.

As soon as I walked in, a male model wearing only a pair of black pants and a halter apron came up to me and said, "Hello, welcome."

Xiang Yu frowned, looking around, his gaze fixed on Chi Yunyi's table. She sat at the head table, with four male models sitting to her left and right. They were... playing games.

The game is called "Witch's Poison." Several dishes are placed on the table. The male model chooses one dish as poison. Chi Yunyi, unaware of the poison, eats it and will "die." Similarly, Chi Yunyi chooses another dish as poison, and if the male model eats it, he will also "die."

Rock-paper-scissors determines who eats first and who eats later. If neither of you eats the poison pill, you take turns eating until one of you eats the poison pill, and the game ends.

Chi Yunyi picked up a chopstick and asked, "Am I dead?"

The male model shook his head, "No."

The male model took a bite, "What about me?"

“Dead!”

"Hahaha, the game is over. Who's next?"

The atmosphere is very lively.

Xiang Yu took a photo and sent it to Chi Yunshan, letting her see if Chi Yunyi was brave enough. He walked over, pointed at the male model next to Chi Yunyi on her right, and waved his finger to tell him to move away.

The male model didn't know what this person was going to do. He looked at Chi Yunyi, who apologized and asked him to leave. The male model stood up to make room for Xiang Yu. Xiang Yu sat down.

As soon as he took his seat, the atmosphere around him suddenly changed. Dressed in a deep black tailored suit, he exuded a powerful aura. The sharp-eyed male model, noticing Xiang Yu's watch and realizing he was someone of high status, stood up first, and the others followed suit.

He had a faint minty scent on him, which was refreshing and made Chi Yunyi's lungs feel a little cold.

She turned around and laughed twice, dismissing the male model. "You guys go down and rest first. Don't worry about us. Thank you for today."

The man in front of him sat like a statue. Chi Yunyi asked, "Brother, why did you come here? Have you had dinner? Do you want to eat more?"

Although Xiang Yu didn't say anything, the aura he exuded was terrifying.

Chi Yunyi had a preconceived idea and turned on her phone. There were many missed calls on the phone, and her heart skipped a beat.

She turned off the mute, sent a message to her sister, and found the recorded audio. She put her phone on the table, deliberately in front of him, and played it on a loop.

"You can choose a male model. I won't interfere with your private life."

"You can choose a male model. I won't interfere with your private life."

"You can choose a male model. I won't interfere with your private life."

Chi Yunyi cleared her throat and said, "Listen for yourself..."

Xiang Yu: "It's closed."

Chi Yunyi: "Okay."

Chi Yunyi sat up straight, picked up her chopsticks and took a bite of meat, her cheeks bulging. The tip of her nose felt a little itchy, so she rubbed it with her fist. She looked up at the person beside her, her mind racing.

When she looked over for the second time, her eyes met Xiang Yu's. Chi Yunyi gave him an awkward yet polite smile.

This smile seemed to break the ice between the two of them. Xiang Yu asked, "When are you going back to South City?"

"I want to play for two more days."

"Have you bought your plane ticket?"

"not yet."

Not long after, Chi Yunyi's phone rang. It was Liang Qian calling.

"What's wrong, Mom?"

"Yiyi, you're done with the exhibition, right?"

"Ah, yes."

"Will you be back tomorrow?"

"I want to play for two days before coming back."

Liang Qian gently and lovingly persuaded: "Yiyi, come back tomorrow. You and Ayu's matter should be put on the agenda. We should discuss the engagement."

"Are you so anxious?" Chi Yunyi even suspected: "Could it be that Uncle Xiang's company has problems?"

Xiang Yu: "The company is fine at the moment."

Liang Qian smiled: "Your aunt Chunan said that the young master in her family can't wait any longer."

Chi Yunyi: “???”

Xiang Yu ignored Chi Yunyi's gaze, took out his cell phone and started buying a plane ticket for tomorrow.

Liang Qian: "Come back early, mom won't disturb you for now."

After hanging up the phone, Chi Yunyi leaned over and asked him seriously, "What can't you wait for?"

Xiang Yu turned his head away and said, "Ms. Xu Chunan is talking nonsense."

"So you didn't wait."

"..." Xiang Yu stood up, "Let's go back." He held Chi Yunyi's wrist and pulled her out.

Her wrist was extremely thin, and when she clenched it completely, her thumb and four fingers could overlap by more than one joint.

"So, are you really impatient?"

Xiang Yu covered her mouth with his hand, opened the car door, and herded everyone into the car like pigs. Chi Yunyi got in, and he followed in. The car drove away.

…

With nothing to do on the plane, Chi Yunyi took out the recitation materials prepared by Teacher Zeng. Just when Xiang Yu thought she was going to study seriously, she put the thick stack of recitation materials on her face to block the sun, and then nothing happened.

She was so comfortable that she almost fell asleep.

Xiang Yu sat next to her, took the stack of study materials and put them aside, "Go to sleep if you want to, don't study anymore."

"Wow, brother, you are so considerate." Chi Yunyi's last bit of guilt also disappeared. She adjusted the U-shaped pillow with peace of mind and prepared to close her eyes and go to sleep.

Xiang Yu covered her with a small blanket and looked through the study materials. There were 98 pages on both sides. The key points on the first few pages were highlighted with a highlighter, and there were also annotations written in black pen. The paper was a little curled, but the back was as clean as new.

Chi Yunyi's handwriting is extremely ugly. She never liked doing homework since she was a child, and she never used two strokes to write a word that could be completed with one stroke. Later, to save time and effort, she accidentally discovered that English letters were faster to write than Chinese characters, so she created the Yunyi style: writing each word with one stroke.

Xiang Yu was flipping through the documents when he felt a weight on his shoulders and someone hugged his arms. Chi Yunyi was fast asleep. A sweet scent filled his nose.

It's not the smell of laundry detergent or shampoo, but a very comfortable and relaxing smell.

-

Back in South City, Chi Yunyi, having gotten a good night's sleep on the plane, took another nap in the car. When she opened her eyes at her doorstep, Xiang Yu was wiping his shoulders with toilet paper. There was a black spot on his dark green coat.

Chi Yunyi asked, "What's wrong with you, brother?"

"nothing."

Xiang Yu sent the person home safely. Chi Yunyi was so sleepy that she couldn't open her eyes, so she went upstairs to sleep.

Liang Qian was resting at home today. When she saw her future son-in-law, she remembered what Ms. Xu Chunan said last night: "Ayu wants to marry Yiyi so badly that he can't wait. Doesn't this urge me to discuss the engagement with my in-laws as soon as possible?"

"To be honest, the family is already preparing, but he's not happy with the pace; he thinks it's too slow. Mother Yiyi, how about we set a good date in the next two days?"

"Ayu's father and I will fly to South City tomorrow to finalize this matter."

The smile on Liang Qian's face was very kind. Xiang Yu didn't realize that his simple two words of urging last night had a few more charming thoughts when they came out of Ms. Xu Chunan's mouth.

After a few simple greetings, Liang Qian joked with Xiang Yu, "Auntie knows what you mean. But you have to give me time to prepare. I've never seen you so anxious that you even called to urge me."

“…”

"Okay, okay, don't worry. I'll ask Yi Yi when she wakes up. We'll do it as quickly as possible."

After get off work in the evening, Chi Yunshan hurried home from the company. When she got home, she took off her high heels and didn't even have time to change into slippers. She went upstairs barefoot, pulled Chi Yunyi out of bed, and asked anxiously, "Last night, Xiang Yu caught you ordering a male model. He asked you what you didn't have?"

Chi Yunyi's hair stood up in a tuft, and she couldn't open her eyes. "Me?"

"Yes, did he scold you or say nasty things to you?"

"No."

"So, what did he say?"

"He just asked me when I would be back and whether I had bought a plane ticket, and he even paid for my ticket. Not only did he not scold me, he even praised me." Chi Yunyi became more and more excited as he spoke.

"H-He praised you?"

"Yeah, that's awesome of you to compliment me."

“…”

Last night, when Xiang Yu picked someone up and drove them back to the hotel, Chi Yunyi was chattering away. She hadn't seen Xiang Yu for two days since the exhibition, so she hadn't gotten the compliments she wanted from him. She had a chance to talk a lot in the car, and by the time she reached the hotel entrance, she still felt a bit unsatisfied.

"That's the thing. Lu Simiao's face is so sour. She is a smart imitator, and she actually imitated me."

"Your hotel is here, get off."

"Ah, why so fast! Brother, hurry up, you haven't praised me yet, praise me quickly!"

Driver: "Mr. Xiang, we can't park here."

Chi Yunyi: "Hurry up and praise me, otherwise I won't leave."

Seeing Chi Yunyi about to turn into a fish in a pot in the car, Xiang Yu finally managed to say: "Great."

The compliment was genuine; she was just wonderful and smart.

But Chi Yunyi, who was so great, had just spent his money to order a male model, so he didn't really want to express his praise.

After listening to this, Chi Yunshan came to the conclusion that "Xiang Yu is a generous man" and her heart returned to her stomach.

The most worrying thing was solved. Chi Yunshan grabbed a pillow and slapped Chi Yunyi. "I just taught you a lesson, and you're not behaving yourself again. Can't you be more honest and not cause so much trouble? Xiang Yu didn't make a fuss this time, but what if he does?"

Chi Yunyi rolled off the bed, "Ah! Chi Yunshan! You hit me again! Today I want to fight you to the death!"

The moment Chi Yunyi pounced on her, Chi Yunshan dodged, grabbed her clothes and pushed her back hard, knocking her down on the bed. She rolled up the quilt, and Chi Yunyi was wrapped like a silkworm cocoon, with no power to fight back.

Chi Yunshan touched the exposed furry head and said, "Okay, it's okay, go back to sleep."

Not only was there nothing wrong, she learned from her mother Liang Qian today that the Xiang family wanted to put the engagement on the agenda. They also said that "Xiang Yu couldn't wait."

Can’t wait to be cheated on?
