Chapter 24 Unwilling

"come over."

Qi Wang was standing at the door, and Chi Yuan immediately retreated to the place farthest away from him.

But the space in the fitting room was limited, and no matter how she hid, she was only less than one meter away from Qi Wang.

"I don't want you to help me pull it, just call the store clerk for me."

Chi Yuan pulled at his shoulder straps, leaning his back against the cold wall, with an expression of wariness that was hard to conceal on his face.

It’s just the zipper on the back, so it wouldn’t be a big deal even if Qi Wang did something to it.

But she just doesn't want to!

"Come here! I don't want to say it a third time!"

Seeing that she had no intention of moving, Qi Wang directly pulled the woman up, pressed her neck with one hand, and pulled the zipper to the top.

The whole action was done in one go, without any other meaning, so fast that Chi Yuan couldn't react.

"We've slept together more than once, why are you being so pretentious?"

Chi Yuan turned around and saw a hint of sarcasm on his face, and felt inexplicably uncomfortable.

"I just don't want you to help me. That's normal, right?" She clenched her fingers and bit her lip. "But thank you for your help."

One of the reasons why I don't want him to help is the awkward relationship between him and me, and the other reason is... I'm afraid he'll do something wrong.

She was overthinking it.

"Let's go and take a look."

Walk out of the fitting room and come to the mirror.

The woman in the mirror had red cheeks, which was caused by being too nervous in the fitting room.

From the mirror, I could see a mischievous glint in the clerk's eyes, probably because he had misunderstood something.

"Look ahead."

Qi Wang stood beside her and held her hand, while taking out his cell phone and taking a picture in front of the mirror.

Of course, Chi Yuan didn't know that he took a photo of the two of them.

The man put down his phone, moved closer to her, and casually tidied her long hair.

“It’s beautiful.”

Chi Yuan's heart trembled slightly. He didn't expect that he would suddenly praise him. He didn't know how to react for a moment.

She looked at herself in the mirror.

She hadn't worn a dress in so long that she almost forgot what she looked like dressed up.

Qi Wang's suit was specially tailored. I don't know what requirements he made, but it looks particularly stunning on him.

Of course, she didn't say it out loud.

After packing the dress, Qi Wang took her to pick out some accessories and gifts, and the day passed in a blink of an eye.

After getting in the car, Qi Wangti said, "You go back to live in Guibai Road tonight. Don't let Grandpa know about our divorce before your birthday."

Chi Yuan had no objection to this, and she immediately sent a message to her family.

The car moved forward, but unfortunately encountered the evening rush hour.

There are so many vehicles coming and going, most of them are probably rushing home for dinner.

Is Kuibai Road also her home? Chi Yuan asked herself in her heart.

In these four years, she never seemed to regard the villa as her home, and only went back to stay for a few days when she was dealing with her elders.

When stuck in traffic, Qi Wang would occasionally answer the phone while waiting, and Chi Yuan didn't care.

Until she listened to the conversation and felt something was wrong.

"Fever?" The man suddenly became serious. "If you have any antipyretics, take them first. I'm stuck in traffic and will be here later."

Chi Yuan couldn't think of anyone else except Ye Ranran who could make him so nervous just because of a fever.

After he hung up the phone, Chi Yuan said directly: "You go find Ye Ranran, I can go back by myself."

His wife is still with him, but he just said directly that he would meet another woman?

What did he take her for?!

"No hurry, I'll take you back first."

Qi Wang pursed his thin lips. It was already dark, and even with the flashing car lights, his expression was still unclear.

Chi Yuan didn't know what was wrong with her, and now she was clearly trying to compete with him!

"Either you don't go see her when we get home, or let me get out of the car now, Qi Wang, since you treat me as your wife, can you please respect my existence?"

As expected, the man did not give her the answer she wanted.

"You had to argue with me in the car today?"

Chi Yuan laughed at himself and said nothing more.

She couldn't get it by fighting for it.

Besides, what qualifications does she have to fight for it?

After returning to the villa, Qi Wang went into the villa with her, but did not go out again.

Chi Yuan sat on the sofa and looked at him. Seeing that he actually sat down opposite her, she deliberately asked, "Didn't you say you were going to take care of Ye Ranran? Are you not going?"

"Didn't you say you wouldn't let me go?" Qi Wang frowned slightly, his tone so matter-of-fact: "If you want me to go, I can go now."

At that moment, Chi Yuan thought he was dreaming.

How could Qi Wang possibly listen to her?

"What are you doing?" She was very puzzled. "You just do whatever I tell you to do? Qi Wang, even in the past four years, you have never been so obedient."

"If it was the previous four years, you wouldn't have kept me." Qi Wang laughed sarcastically: "How come Miss Chi said that I was disobedient?"

Chi Yuan couldn't refute it.

After four years of marriage, she had no idea where Qi Wang went or what he did every day, and she never asked.

She could be described as indifferent to him.

"Ranran is an adult after all, she can take care of herself. If you don't let me go, then I won't go. It's that simple."

The moment the man said this, Chi Yuan once again had the idea of ​​living a good life with him.

If their relationship could still be saved, if he really treated Ye Ranran as a relative, could she also take a step back?

Whether it's about feelings or interests, Qi Wang is a good choice.

Chi Yuan didn't ask this question in the end.

She was unwilling, but also dared not.

"If you don't want to go, then have dinner. I'm hungry."

Even Chi Yuan herself didn't notice that her tone suddenly became much lighter.

The two of them spent a rare peaceful evening.

Before going to bed, Chi Yuan heard thunder.

She leaned against the head of the bed, feeling extremely sleepy. Qi Wang was still in the bathroom, and she hesitated whether to wait for him to come out before lying down together.

Perhaps because she was too sleepy, Qi Wang's phone screen flickered but she didn't notice.

Chi Yuan couldn't hold on any longer and fell asleep before the man came out.

It soon started to rain heavily outside the window.

Qi Wang came to the bed in a bathrobe, and when he saw the caller ID, his eyes became darker.

He finally picked up his phone and walked outside the bedroom.

"Awang, when are you coming over? It's thundering outside and I'm so scared."

"I'm thinking back to my life in the orphanage. I was always bullied, but you, Awang, were the only one who would protect me at all costs. You were the only one in this world who cared about me. Now, you're all I have."

If Ye Ranran had seen his indifferent expression, she probably wouldn't have spoken to him in such a delicate tone.

"It's raining heavily now and the roads are congested. If you're scared, don't hang up. I'll stay with you."

The lightning was too bright, and accompanied by a loud thunder that resounded through the sky, Chi Yuan opened his eyes instantly and subconsciously touched the other side of the bed.

There was no one, and it was cold.

The bedroom was dark for a moment, and Qi Wang was kind enough to turn off the light for her when he left.

A hint of self-mockery appeared on his lips.

Chi Yuan turned on the wall lamp, put on his coat and went downstairs.

Sure enough, the whole villa was in darkness.
