Chapter 69

Doesn’t Chi Yunyi like male models?

Then Xiang Yu would be a male model for her to play with.

After playing with it, she might realize that domesticated animals are always better than those from outside. Even if the shit outside smells good, it is not as good as the food at home.

Forgive her this time.

If he ordered a male model again next time, he would report this to Chi Youkun and Liang Qian and return to North City alone. Xiang Yu wanted them to give an explanation and make Chi Yunyi beg him to come back.

The man handed the wine glass to Chi Yunyi, touched her face tenderly, and said in a dangerous tone, "Why are you standing there motionless? If you don't play with me, I'm going to play with you."

“……?”

After that, Xiang Yu put down his wine glass and took off Chi Yunyi's Chanel-style jacket without saying anything. During the shoving, Chi Yunyi realized that Xiang Yu was not joking with her and he was serious.

Since there were only two choices: play or be played, Chi Yunyi would of course be the active one. It was just Xiang Yu. She could play with twenty male models, so what was a mere Xiang Yu? She secretly encouraged herself.

Chi Yunyi became tough, "Play, I'll play! I'll play with you now!"

While she was thinking, Chi Yunyi was left with only a small layer of clothing on her upper body. Even though the heater was on, she still felt goose bumps on her skin. She hurriedly put on her coat, looking a little embarrassed. Xiang Yu waited patiently for her to put it on, and even helped her to adjust the corners of her clothes and straighten her hair.

He fed her a strawberry. Chi Yunyi paused and opened her mouth to eat it. The moment she was about to touch it, Xiang Yu raised his hand and moved it away.

"?" Chi Yunyi watched him put the strawberry into his mouth, his large palm pressing against the back of her neck, pushing it forward. The tip of the strawberry touched her lip, sinking into it, pressing it close to her teeth. She had no choice but to open her mouth and take a bite.

The remaining half was sucked into Xiang Yu's mouth.

I'm getting goosebumps.

"Otherwise, forget it," Chi Yunyi apologized sincerely again, "I really won't dare to do it next time, and I will definitely not order it..." Her voice became smaller and smaller, and she sounded like she was lacking confidence.

At this time, Xiang Yu did not listen to her explanation, and his ears selectively ignored her voice. His eyes fell on her lips, eyes, and forehead, and then he kissed her in a wanton and clinging manner, pushed her down on the sofa, and put his hands on her head.

Anyway, he never tells the truth and never does what he promised, so he might as well pretend not to hear.

"Did the male model feed you alcohol?"

Chi Yunyi's eyes moved, but she didn't dare to say anything. Xiang Yu knew that she had been fed and had drunk quite a bit.

The man grabbed a nearby bottle and took a large gulp, then continued to gag Chi Yunyi. Fearing she would choke, he lifted her up and pressed her against the wall. After the kiss, a good amount of wine flowed down Chi Yunyi's neck. She didn't drink much.

But it doesn’t matter, there’s plenty of wine and drinks.

After drinking half a bottle, Chi Yunyi's lips were swollen to the point of popping off. She tilted her head and struggled, "You'll get drunk like this." She had a low alcohol tolerance to begin with.

Xiang Yu's face was already flushed. He held her struggling hand and spoke to the soft flesh of her neck, "Isn't it just right that you're drunk? What else are you doing? What you can and can't do? Why don't you do it all today?"

"You can't sleep with male models in bars. They're dirty. I'm different. I'm clean."

“——!”

Move from the sofa to the bed.

"What did you say?" This is totally not Xiang Yu's speaking style.

When drunk, emotions are somewhat revealed.

Xiang Yu was sad.

At this point, Chi Yunyi's heart was touched, causing her a dull pain.

There is a saying: Feeling sorry for a man is the beginning of a woman’s misery.

"You have no idea how much I missed you," Xiang Yu began to express his inner grievances. "Ever since returning from Xiaozuu, you've been ignoring me. I felt sorry for you because you were under a lot of pressure preparing for the exam, and I kept it all to myself, never saying a word. And yet, you turned around and came to Jiangdu and ordered 14 male models."

At this point, Xiang Yu laughed uncomfortably, "You would rather flirt with them than go home and stay with me."

Hearing these words, Chi Yunyi's heart ached and she cursed herself in her heart.

"Actually, I just want to know whether you like me or not. There are many times when I think you do, but I can't tell whether you like me or my body. But I think it's more like the latter. In a relationship, I don't want to be the one who suffers. No matter when or why, it's not okay. If the relationship is not equal, then I don't want it."

"So you're distancing yourself from me?"

"Um."

"Is it important?"

"Of course it's important."

"Why?"

“It’s just very important.”

Xiang Yu said with a bit of embarrassment, "Okay, I like you, I like you very much, I have liked you for a long time, I have always liked you, for many years."

Chi Yunyi's eyes widened.

"I've had my eye on you for a long time, and I'm looking forward to marrying you when you turn 22, the legal marriage age. Whether you want it or not, as long as I can marry you, I'm open to anything."

"But I'm not satisfied with just marrying you. I also want you to be filled with me, only me. You give me hope, but you also always hit me hard when I think I'm loved."

Chi Yunyi moved her mouth, but couldn't speak. She knew she was in the wrong.

Xiang Yu touched her face and said, "I've told you everything you want to know." A hint of pain appeared in his eyes. "What about you? Give me a definite answer."

"I..." This time it was Chi Yunyi's turn to hesitate. She didn't know what to say.

She couldn't say it after all. The pain in Xiang Yu's eyes grew even more intense. Like Chi Yunyi, he couldn't bear such embarrassment. He staggered to his feet, holding onto the wall and walked away.

Xiang Yu was confused about this feeling before he was 22 years old. It was not until Chi Yunyi appeared as a junior schoolmate at the University of Hong Kong that he confirmed his feelings.

Xiang Yu always remembered what Chi Yunyi had said to him in person.

She will never cherish things that come too easily.

Because of this, the feelings that are difficult to express in words have to be buried in the heart for a long time, never seeing the light of day, and unknown to anyone.

At this moment, the hole in her heart was broken like a skylight, and a beam of light came in. All the secrets - whether dirty or clean, were illuminated, seen, and known by her.

Xiang Yu had long known that this feeling was not equal.

He wants to find a place to hide.

So embarrassing.

-

After returning to South City, Chi Yunyi didn't see Xiang Yu for several days. She felt very guilty and didn't know what to say when she saw him.

In order to avoid meeting each other, I moved to my parents' house for a while.

Chi Yunyi still couldn't quite figure out her feelings for Xiang Yu. If she truly loved him, she wouldn't have been unable to utter a single word when Xiang Yu asked her that day. But if she didn't like him... she couldn't possibly not like him at all.

I feel really guilty now.

She didn't know how to deal with such a thing.

This matter was not over yet. Chi Yunyi turned around and heard good news about Lin Xinghai and her sister from the Lin family. This was just a rumor, and she had to ask her parents to find out whether it was true or not.

The Lin family's parents have a strong desire for Lin Xinghai and Chi family's eldest daughter Chi Yunshan to develop further.

This also shows that Lin Xinghai could not wait for Chi Yunshan's reply, so he asked the Lin family's parents to take action.

If this still can't make Chi Yunshan nod, he still has one last trick. This trick will kill one thousand enemies but injure eight hundred of his own men. It is certain that Lin Xinghai will no longer be favored by Chi Yunshan.

He would not use this method if he could avoid it.

Chi Yunshan found Lin Xinghai privately and whispered, "Are you serious?"

"Well," he saw a slight displeasure on Chi Yunshan's face, but pretended not to notice, and said jokingly with a smile, "You slept with me, so many times, why can't I ask you for a legitimate relationship? Last time I mentioned it to you, you always gave me the cold shoulder, so I had no choice but to contact both parents."

"You didn't even tell me in advance."

"Because you will definitely stop me. Shanshan, if I don't get a response from you, you will drive me crazy."

The temperature in Chi Yunshan's eyes gradually dropped to the lowest point.

"You know, I'm usually easy to talk to, but when it comes to serious matters, like our marriage, I have to be tough."

Chi Yunshan was wary of Lin Xinghai's tactics, so she didn't break off relations with him. At this time, Chi Yunshan didn't want to make enemies with Yi Fu because of her personal feelings.

The reason she got together with Lin Xinghai in the first place was because he was so pitiful chasing after her, begging her to look at him more. She never expected that because of her impulsiveness, she would get herself into such a big trouble.

"What's wrong, Shanshan? Why are you looking at me like that?"

"I have no plans to get married at the moment." Chi Yunshan intended to make it clear.

Lin Xinghai still smiled, "We can get along first..."

"No."

The man's smile was difficult to maintain. "You have no plans to get married, or you have no plans to marry me."

At this moment, Lin Xinghai still managed to maintain a superficial smile, but his eyes were completely devoid of emotion. If one covered the lower half of his face, one would surely notice that his eyes weren't smiling. Instead, they looked rather terrifying.

This is what's scary about him.

"Shanshan, you know how much I like you. We've been together for so long, almost two years. I don't believe you don't have any feelings for me at all."

When Lin Xinghai was still trying to use past memories to get her to give in, Chi Yunshan said calmly: "Lin Xinghai, let's end it. This time I'm serious. I don't want to continue."

At this moment, the last smile on Lin Xinghai's face could no longer be maintained.

"What happened before? You said you'd think about it. Since there's no result, why are you still giving me hope..."

"Because it feels so good to be with you, and I don't want it to end, but I don't want to take responsibility either, so I'm keeping you hanging. I'm a scumbag, so you can call me that."

"Then why do you want to end it now? Because I forced you to, right? As long as you want, we can keep it going forever."

"Let's end it. Stop talking so much." She had had enough. She turned and was about to leave, too lazy to continue. If she continued, her brain would explode.

"I will ask my dad to reject the uncle and aunt's kindness, so don't bother your parents."

As far as she could remember, Chi Yunshan had never spoken to him so gently. She concluded by saying, "Lin Xinghai, thank you for your two years of companionship. Let's part ways amicably. Goodbye."

…

Chi Yunyi returned home and was about to ask Liang Qian for confirmation when she turned around and noticed something was amiss at home. Lin Xinghai was there, Chi Yunshan was there, and both sets of parents were there. The atmosphere was heavy, and her sister's chest heaved, looking furious. Lin Xinghai used two packs of tissues to blow his nose over and over, his eyes red from crying.

He looked like a coward who had been bullied and came with his parents to argue.

She politely greeted the other parent and sat next to Chi Yunshan, "Sister, what's going on?"

What else could it be? Chi Yunshan had just parted ways with Lin Xinghai that morning, and in the afternoon, he arrived with his parents. He spoke earnestly and tearfully, expounding on Chi Yunshan's scumbag behavior with passion, crying that she was not a human being, but a jerk.

Chi Yunshan was working overtime on the weekend when she was called back by a phone call.

Father Lin berated his eldest son for being useless, of course, this was for show. After laying the groundwork and going through all the twists and turns, he got straight to the point and looked at Chi Youkun and his wife, "You have to give an explanation for this."

This is the first time I've seen a man come to my house and get married to such an extent.

Chi Youkun was in a dilemma.

Chi Yunshan was under double pressure, her eyes filled with suppressed anger. Lin Xinghai glanced in her direction, knowing clearly that even if Chi Yunshan really gave in this time, he would not have a good life. But what could he do? After all, his goal had been achieved, right? He had no regrets.

Lin's mother also spoke up to help her son seek an explanation.

Liang Qian, always playing the role of a peacemaker, said, "Perhaps there's some misunderstanding. Just clear it up."

There is no misunderstanding about this matter.

It’s just that Chi Yunshan doesn’t want to continue.

Not wanting to embarrass her parents any further, Chi Yunshan said with a smile, "Mom and Dad, Uncle Lin, Aunt Lin, the fault is mine, I take responsibility. When is the time for the engagement? You can agree on a date and we can get the certificate. Lin Xinghai, what do you think?"

"Shanshan, you..."

"Mom, I'll handle this myself. I should take responsibility for my mistakes. I'm sorry for putting you in such a difficult situation."

Chi Yunshan was intimidating without being angry. She had a smile on her face and a sincere attitude, but when her eyes met Lin Xinghai's, it made his back cold and he dared not look her in the eye.

"Lin Xinghai, what do you think?" she asked again.

Lin Xinghai looked like a coward. Those who understood him knew he was playing the pig to eat the tiger.

"I'll follow your instructions. Whatever you say is what I'll do."

"That's great."

In front of the elders of the Lin family, Chi Yunshan gave them enough face, "Why don't you move back to my place? We've already settled everything, and it's only right that you move in. The sooner the better."

From what Chi Yunyi heard, her sister couldn't wait to take action.

Lin Xinghai lowered his brows and nodded, "Okay, I'll do as you say."

Chi Yunshan gritted her teeth so hard that her masseter muscles became stronger.

In just a few hours, the two parents took this opportunity to reschedule the meeting. Lin Xinghai moved back into Chi Yunshan's home under a legitimate identity, his mind filled with the feeling of having lost something and then finding it again.

Before he could finish his excitement, Chi Yunshan's fist fell.

Even though she had retired several years earlier, her muscle memory still lingered, and she treated Lin Xinghai like a target. Chi Yunshan was incredibly strong, and when Lin Xinghai tried to escape, she tackled him and dragged him into a room.

The sound of beating and scolding came from the bedroom, "Cry, keep crying, why can't you cry in front of me! You can cry so much in front of my parents, do you think you are Lin Daiyu!"

"You even called your parents over? What for? Just to keep you company, huh?"

"That's all you can do!"

"You want to marry me, don't you? Fine, I'll marry you. But since you forced me to do this, you'll never have a good life for the rest of your life!"

Lin Xinghai wrapped himself in a quilt and huddled into a corner, waiting for the storm to pass.

Only then did he truly understand what Xiang Yu blurted out when he heard that he liked Chi Yunshan: "Are you so depressed?"

-

Xiang Yu worked day and night, and on business trips, he also returned to Beicheng. After Xiang Huatian learned of his whereabouts, he suddenly found his beloved son and acted like a good father.

He acted like a good father and a vicious father-in-law at the same time. "It's delicious, right? Your mother selected the ingredients, and I stewed it myself for three hours! Then why didn't Chi Yunyi come with you? Did you two have a fight, and you don't want her anymore?"

Xiang Yu drank the chicken soup his father had personally cooked, his expression gloomy. He didn't want to laugh with him because he simply couldn't.

Xiang Huatian saw this and asked, "Did she feel wronged by you?"

"No, where's Mom?"

"Your mother is at the company." Even this couldn't divert Xiang Huatian's attention. He repeated the topic, "I think it's definitely true. When you two first got married, I really couldn't be happy. As long as I thought about you being so far away, I couldn't eat or sleep. I finally found you, and you went so far away as soon as you got married..."

"At least you're smart. You know to run home when you're wronged. Don't worry, your father is here, so you can do whatever you want. Now that you're here, why not just stay and worry about Chi Yunyi? It would be best if you could take this opportunity to settle down in North City and shift your future work focus here."

Xiang Yu couldn't bear it, "Dad, it's not that serious."

"What do you mean it's not that serious?" Xiang Huatian was used to over-interpreting things. "Did Chi Yunyi really make you feel wronged? What do you mean by 'not that serious'? How did she make you feel wronged? Don't make dad worry, just tell me now."

Xiang Yu had the illusion that if he opened his mouth, Xiang Huatian would really argue with Chi Yunyi, and then use his extremely talkative and mean mouth to annoy Chi Yunyi to death.

Suddenly, an image flashed through his mind of Chi Yunyi, unable to withstand such a fierce attack, scurrying around like a squirrel, looking for a place to rest. The corners of his mouth curved up.

He hasn't seen her for several days.

Seeing Xiang Yu in a daze, Xiang Huatian couldn't sit still anymore, "What's going on? Why are you still in a daze? Are you too tired recently?"

"Nothing." He glanced at his phone. Seven days had passed since he left home, and Chi Yunyi hadn't sent a single message. She didn't care where he'd gone. Maybe she'd never even contacted him. Maybe his departure was just what she wanted, so she wouldn't have anyone to control her.

Xiang Yu was secretly angry, but he was also worried that she might be dishonest and get into trouble. He was also worried that if he left, no one would take care of her and she would starve at home.

The more I think about it, the more uneasy I feel.

After seven days out, his anger had long since subsided. The embarrassment seemed to fade away with the passage of time. Husband and wife don't hold grudges overnight. It was time for him to return.

This trip back to North City was truly worthless. Chi Yunyi hadn't even come to see him, but Xiang Yu couldn't stand it anymore and was thinking about going home. Xiang Huatian couldn't stop him; his son was determined to leave.

Chi Yunyi hadn't deliberately avoided contacting Xiang Yu. She'd simply been too busy lately. Her sister was busy with her engagement, and Chi Yunshan herself wasn't interested. Lin Xinghai, though, was, but he'd only been giving orders on WeChat and hadn't shown up for ages. Chi Yunyi was the only one who kept busy by her mother's side.

The engagement date arranged by both parents is half a month later.

The past two weeks have been very busy.

Ever since Lin Xinghai was taken away by his sister that day, there had been no news of him. No one knew how badly he had been beaten. When he reappeared in public, he had become even more cautious and timid. He followed Chi Yunshan like a eunuch serving his master.

Lin Xinghai, you deserve it.

Lin Xinghai sneezed.

"Where's Xiang Yu? I don't think I've seen him." Lin Xinghai asked Chi Yunyi. If Xiang Yu were there, he might not be so reserved.

This was Chi Yunshan's private gathering, and she had invited all of her friends. Lin Xinghai didn't know any of them, only Chi Yunyi. It would have been nice if Xiang Yu was there. Although he knew that Shanshan wanted to introduce him to her close friends.

I feel ashamed to say, “He…”

Chi Yunyi opened the dating app and checked Xiang Yu's location. The location showed that Xiang Yu was at home.

Lin Xinghai asked: "Shall we ask him to come and play with us?"

"I'll try."

They might still be angry, but between husband and wife, one of them has to swallow their pride and give in. As the guilty party, Chi Yunyi planned to initiate peace this time. Right now was a good opportunity. If all else failed, she could just say it was Lin Xinghai who ordered her to yell.

The phone call was made, and Xiang Yu's eyelashes fluttered when she saw the incoming call on the page. Not long ago, she had checked the dating app to find his whereabouts.

Maybe this is out of concern for him.

Xiang Yu clicked to answer the call.

Without actively speaking, Chi Yunyi's voice came from the phone first, "Hello?"

Before he could speak, another call of "hey" came from the other end.

"I'm listening."

"Do you have time now?"

"have."

"I'm at my sister's house, do you want to come over?"

"good."

Chi Yunyi didn't hang up the phone and said, "Well, be careful on the road."

Xiang Yu drove over personally. There was a small gathering going on, and the attendees were all Chi Yunshan's good friends. They had heard that Chi Yunshan was about to get engaged, so they came to "test" Lin Xinghai.

After being "appreciated" for a while, she finally waited for Xiang Yu to come over and hurried to greet the new guest, thus getting out of the sisterhood. Chi Yunyi stayed beside Chi Yunshan, and when she saw Xiang Yu coming, she hid behind Chi Yunshan, not daring to look for him.

Xiang Yu took the juice handed to him by Lin Xinghai and looked at Chi Yunyi deeply.

"I'm getting engaged soon."

"Well, congratulations... What happened to your face? It's all bruised and blue."

Lin Xinghai panicked and covered his face. He'd already covered it up with concealer. Chi Yunshan had attacked him that day. Her punches and kicks were no match for him, so she had no choice but to take the beating.

Xiang Yu was such a smart guy that he immediately understood what had happened. He took a sip of juice and asked, "No regrets?"

"Of course not."

"Are you willing to be beaten every day and have a miserable life?"

"It's just a beating. Beat me to death if you dare."

So tough. Xiang Yu smiled.

"How long will your party last?"

"how?"

"I want to take Yi Yi home."

Lin Xinghai was dissatisfied, "Don't bring people home all the time. We are all family from now on. I will call you brother-in-law and I will cook a good meal for you."

Xiang Yu said, "Thank you. Next time, please do me a favor and call Yi Yi over."

"..." Lin Xinghai hesitated. The sisters were chatting happily, and if he interrupted them, Chi Yunshan would probably be displeased with him again.

Xiang Yu: "Go ahead, brother-in-law."

“——!”

Lin Xinghai: “Hey!”

"Go quickly."

"I'll go right away."
