Chapter 7 Who will it belong to in the end

Now is definitely not the time to clarify the relationship.

If Qi Wang hadn't come, she could have just sent him away without any hesitation. But now... she had to accept the money, and she was also doing him an extra favor.

Although it is a good thing to suddenly have an extra two million right now.

Chi Yuan bit her lips lightly, a hint of stubbornness flashed across her eyes, and she finally relaxed in the man's arms.

"That's right."

The man's breath brushed against the back of her neck, which felt a little itchy. Chi Yuan heard the man's satisfied laugh.

"Next, you know what to do."

Chi Yuan looked at Mr. Wang again, and he seemed even more nervous than himself.

The check in my hand became increasingly hot.

"Thank you, Mr. Wang."

She nodded gently, putting on a polite smile. Mr. Wang turned his gaze to Qi Wang and bowed, "Mr. Qi, the apology has been delivered. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

Mr. Wang fled, and the manager left the office at some point, as if he had left space for them.

"He asked for 50 million right away, and he didn't dare take 2 million even though it was given to him. Chi Yuan, is this what you call four years of marriage?"

Qi Wang quickly grabbed her wrists, holding them with one hand and lifting her chin with the other: "I don't think I've been that bad to you."

A rhetorical question in the affirmative, requiring no answer from her.

Chi Yuan lowered his eyes, his voice indifferent and complicated: "So what does Mr. Qi mean? You want to divorce me, but you're still entangled with me?"

Their marriage was already dead in name only. If they continued after the divorce, wouldn't it be... Chi Yuan's eyes showed resistance.

"Is there a conflict between divorcing you and wanting you to be my lover?"

The man pressed her soft cheek with his calloused fingertips, leaned forward slightly, and exerted force with his wrist.

"Look at me while I speak."

Chi Yuan's heart trembled violently.

Being forced to look up doesn't feel good at all.

Especially the man who once had to look up to her.

Looking at him from such a close distance, it seemed as if I could see every pore on his face.

Qi Wang's appearance is very attractive, and his aura is even not inferior to that person.

Their breathing mixed together, and Chi Yuan was in a trance for a moment.

She thought again of the countless nights in the past.

Chi Yuan's breathing became increasingly rapid, but she didn't dare to speak, as the slightest movement of her lips would touch his.

The man's eyes gradually darkened.

It was still daytime, but the surroundings had become very quiet, and there was a unique air current lingering between them.

Chi Yuan subconsciously closed his eyes...

The cell phones started ringing, a bit chaotically, more than one phone was ringing.

The two pushed each other away.

Chi Yuan took out his cell phone and it was Bai Qingcheng calling.

She looked back at Qi Wang and saw that he was also answering the phone, so she left the office, went to the nearby sink, and pressed the answer button.

"Qingcheng."

Chi Yuan then realized that his voice was a little hoarse, probably because he was too nervous just now.

"Hmm? Yuanyuan, are you okay? You sound like you just cried. If you're in trouble, you must tell me."

The woman's voice was sweet and gentle, and her concern was without any hypocrisy.

It is said that society is a big melting pot and no one can remain simple forever.

But Bai Qingcheng seems to be an exception.

A truly pure person cannot pretend.

"I'm fine, really. I didn't cry."

As soon as the words came out, tears quietly rolled down my cheeks.

The suppressed sadness was torn apart at this moment.

"Don't be so arrogant. Don't I know you? When you got married, you were bullied by the Qi family. But don't worry, I have found the client. He will be responsible for the funds. The Chi family's old house will not be bought."

Chi Yuan opened his mouth, but was so shocked that he didn't know how to ask.

"The funds are the responsibility of the client? What does that mean?"

She originally planned to ask Bai Qingcheng to find a reliable person to entrust the auction for her, and had no intention of asking others to pay.

During the communication, Bai Qingcheng suggested to pay the bill for her, but Chi Yuan refused.

Now that the Chi family is in decline, Bai Qingcheng still doesn't despise them. She is already very grateful. How could they dare to ask her to pay for the auction?

"Well, go ask the client. It's his intention. I'll send you the phone number."

Bai Qingcheng spoke very mysteriously. Chi Yuan had been paying attention to the funding issue and did not notice it.

"ah?"

Chi Yuan was confused by what she said, but the girl hung up the phone very quickly, obviously on purpose.

She wanted to quickly contact the client. Returning to the chat interface, Chi Yuan clicked on the phone number and felt strangely familiar.

After jumping to the call interface, she understood instantly.

The client Bai Qingcheng found was her brother Bai Qinghe.

His chest was filled with various emotions, and Chi Yuan suddenly didn't dare to make the call.

When she was young, she and Bai Qingcheng were very good friends. However, after the brother and sister went abroad to study, their contact gradually became less and less, but their friendship remained.

"What are you standing here for? Not going to work?"

Chi Yuan suddenly looked up and saw Qi Wang standing outside the sink in the mirror.

"Why haven't you left yet?!" she blurted out, "I just received a phone call."

The man put his hands naturally in his trouser pockets, looking lazy and casual, but his cold eyebrows and eyes showed his extraordinary demeanor.

But in Chi Yuan's eyes, he was just a demon that she wanted to escape from but had to rely on.

"You are not allowed to answer calls outside of work hours."

Chi Yuan put away his phone and walked away from the man.

Qi Wang quickly pulled her wrist and said, "I'll pick you up after get off work."

At first glance, it sounds like a young couple whispering in each other's ears when they are apart.

It was as if an electric current spread throughout his body, and Chi Yuan quickened his pace and left.

She seemed like a prey destined to die. As a hunter, Qi Wang had already laid a tight net, but before closing the net, he enjoyed watching her struggle desperately.

No matter how hard you struggle, you can't escape the despair.

It was not until he turned a corner that Chi Yuan could catch his breath.

There are only two hours left until the end of get off work.

Qi Wang said he would pick her up after get off work. Does that mean we have to wait until twelve o'clock?

Chi Yuan didn't dare to call Bai Qinghe in the club.

Two hours passed quickly. After get off work, Chi Yuan came to the parking space near the bus stop as usual and saw Qi Wang's car at a glance.

He was already waiting for her in the car.

Chi Yuan didn't hesitate any longer and got into the passenger seat.

"Why do you come to pick me up every day?"

I originally thought he was just passing by, but over the past few days, he never missed a single place.

"Do I need a reason to pick you up?" Qi Wang said calmly, "If you insist on me giving you a reason..."

"Now is the cooling-off period for divorce. I don't want anything to happen to either of us. Your parents are in debt, and someone will always come after you."

It seemed like he was really thinking about her.

Chi Yuan laughed at himself and swallowed the bitterness.

It won't do her any harm anyway, and it can save her the car fare.

Today's journey was very quiet, and no one took the initiative to bring up a topic.

When they arrived at the Chi family mansion, Chi Yuan was about to get off the car.

"The auction of your estate will be held in two weeks at Venue 28 of Sea Garden. You can come and observe. After all, it is your Chi family's ancestral home. You can witness... who it will ultimately belong to."
