Chapter 21 Asking for Interest

So many things have happened recently that she didn't even care about Mr. Qi's birthday.

Just think about it, they were still negotiating a divorce some time ago, but now they are preparing to attend Mr. Qi’s birthday party.

Thinking about what happened this afternoon, Chi Yuan wanted to make a few sarcastic remarks, but the voice on the other end of the phone seemed a bit noisy.

Chi Yuan asked uncertainly, "Have you returned to the old house?"

I'm afraid that the Qi family must have given the order, so he just happened to notify her at dinner time.

The relationship between the two of them was not good, and both the Qi and Chi families knew it very well.

"Yeah." Qi Wang replied calmly: "Let's eat, let's not talk about it for now."

Like completing a mission.

Looking at the off screen of his mobile phone, Chi Yuan simply left the phone in the bedroom and returned to the restaurant.

"Why do you look so pale? Are you okay?" Wen Yurong brought over a few glasses of juice. "Who's calling?"

"It's about work. Just reminding me to go to work tomorrow. It's nothing serious."

Chi Yuan responded casually, shook his head, and sat back in his seat.

Looking at the heartfelt smiles of her parents and friends, she suddenly felt that all the grievances she had suffered these days were worth it.

This is the first time I have seen my parents smile so happily since the incident at the Chi family.

It was already late after dinner, and the brother and sister had to get home before nine o'clock.

Chi Yuan walked them out of the yard.

"Qingcheng, get in the car first. I have something I want to talk to Yuanyuan alone." Bai Qinghe urged. Bai Qingcheng blinked and nodded mischievously: "I understand, I understand. Come on, brother."

Chi Yuan was a little confused and asked in a low voice: "Did Qingcheng misunderstand something?"

"It's not a big deal." Bai Qinghe's expression suddenly became much more serious: "But you, tell me the truth, did Qi Wang confiscate the gift you gave him?"

"Brother Bai, you are much stronger than before. You wouldn't ask me so many questions before." Chi Yuan sighed helplessly: "It can't be said that he confiscated it. I threw it away. He doesn't deserve it."

Without waiting for Bai Qinghe to reply, she immediately asked: "Let's not talk about him anymore. Do you like the gift I gave you?"

She chose a limited edition brand-name pendant for Bai Qinghe.

"I like everything you give me."

Bai Qinghe agreed without hesitation, and subconsciously raised his head and touched her head: "No matter what, I don't want to see you wronged yourself, take care of yourself."

As the car drove away, Chi Yuan felt his eyes becoming more and more sore.

There's clearly no sand in your eyes.

After returning to the bedroom, my phone showed several missed calls and messages from Qi Wang.

"Grandpa doesn't know about the divorce yet. You know what to do at the birthday party."

Chi Yuan held the phone tightly and finally decided not to reply to the message.

Still so infuriating.

The next day, Chi Yuan resumed his work at the club.

She took advantage of a break to mention her resignation to her manager, who was surprised: "You've only been here for less than a month, are you sure you want to leave?"

"I'm sure." Chi Yuan didn't shy away from the question: "Manager, you know the reason why I came to work here. Now my crisis has been partially resolved, but I can't keep working here. In the long run, it's just a drop in the bucket."

The manager looked embarrassed and said, "I can't make the decision about your resignation. I'll find time to ask my superiors later."

Isn’t Qi Wang the one above him?

Do I have to ask another day?

Chi Yuan didn't ask any more questions. After all, she was just an employee. He got into trouble because of the mistake she made here four years ago.

The following work seemed no different from before, except that after get off work, Qi Wang no longer came to pick her up every night like before.

Chi Yuan had to admit that she was a little disappointed, but she was also glad, otherwise she didn't know how to face him.

They're just a couple about to get divorced.

But the day before Mr. Qi's birthday party, the manager informed her to take a day off.

She had already arrived at the club.

"It's not my turn to take a day off today." Chi Yuan vaguely guessed something: "Speaking of which, is there any news about resignation?"

"The leave Mr. Qi gave you is considered as field work. Mr. Qi hasn't responded to your resignation yet."

Before Chi Yuan had time to ask more questions, someone suddenly appeared behind her and took her hand.

"Walk."

Chi Yuan was startled, but quickly realized that the person who pulled her away was Qi Wang.

She immediately struggled: "Don't touch me!"

Whenever she thought of this hand holding Ye Ranran's, she felt nauseous.

An irresistible force came from his hand, pulling her tighter.

"You want everyone to watch us quarrel?"

Chi Yuan's eyes widened, as if he had seen a ghost: "When did you start caring about the looks of strangers? I work in a club, and you don't seem to feel ashamed."

"Let me go!"

In short, she didn't want to be led by him, and she didn't want to have any physical contact with him before making it clear!

"ah!"

An exclamation attracted the attention of people around.

Chi Yuan climbed onto the man's shoulders and just raised her head when Qi Wang's stern face was magnified infinitely in front of her.

"What are you doing?!"

She struggled slightly, but kept trying to lean her head back.

The more she leaned back, the closer the man came.

"What are you doing?" Qi Wang raised his lips with a wicked smile: "I'm hugging my own wife, is there a problem?"

"you!"

Chi Yuan really couldn't refute this.

"Don't forget, we will get divorced sooner or later."

As soon as she finished speaking, the man's smile disappeared visibly, as if she had said something that made him very angry.

"But we haven't divorced yet, so I can do anything to you that a couple can do."

The people around were still watching, but the man showed no intention of leaving.

And she was standing at the door of the club... It was as if she had gone to the club to order a male model and was caught by her husband.

"Can't you put me down first?"

Qi Wang moved closer to him, a little closer, and his lips would be able to touch hers...

"But you didn't listen."

It seemed like this was the first time they were so close and intimate in front of outsiders.

Chi Yuan suddenly froze.

The man smelled of pleasant cedar.

In fact, she had felt that his scent was pleasant and reassuring a long time ago, but she had never said it out loud.

In a daze, Chi Yuan forgot to struggle.

Qi Wang seemed very satisfied with her quietness, and while she was daydreaming, he quickly kissed the corner of her mouth.

It was gone in a flash, so fast that Chi Yuan felt that the kiss just now was just an illusion.

"Just like that, be obedient, otherwise I don't mind proving to everyone that you are my wife." Chi Yuan didn't want to be watched by so many people, so he stopped struggling.

She just doesn't understand.

"But Qi Wang, there are many ways to prove that I am your wife. It doesn't have to be..." kissing.

Chi Yuan hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Besides, don't you hate me? Since you want a divorce, there's no need to do something that only people who like each other would do."

The man's harsh words rang in my ears.

"You owe me four years of married life obligations. I'm just asking for a little interest."
