Chapter 14: The marriage agreement uses a chess piece that makes everyone upset...

Meng Yuzhi occasionally wants to make an interesting move, using a chess piece that makes everyone upset.

Chi Liuai woke up in a strange room.

This was a large bedroom with a cold decoration. Chi Liuai looked around. This was another time she fell without any preparation. Meng Yuzhi did not send her back to the Chi family.

All her sharp accessories were neatly placed on the bedside table, next to an exquisitely embroidered cushion. Chi Liuai saw the cell phone that was forcibly taken away last night next to her watch.

There are no extra messages on the phone.

Chi Liuai's absence at night was not a big deal to the Chi family. Chi Liuai would think that Chi Cheng had sent her a message cursing her, but it was obvious that this indifference was because no one in the Chi family had noticed that she had not returned home.

Immediately afterwards, Chi Liuai turned on the camera and took a picture of his wrist.

The photos showed the luxurious dresses, elaborate accessories, and expensive watches that Meng Yuzhi generously gave her.

The composition is exactly the same as the photo Chi Baoyuan posted on Instagram. She clumsily uses her sister's way to show off the love she has received.

Before the photo was sent to Chi Baoyuan, Chi Liuai noticed something was wrong.

She hadn't seen anyone since she woke up, but she had changed into a more comfortable outfit. Then, in the distance, heavy floor-length curtains slowly opened to both sides, and Chi Liuai could see clearly that outside the large bedroom was a curved balcony with a very comfortable-looking cushioned armchair.

Meng Yuzhi sat there flipping through documents, working.

Chi Liuai looked at the blue veins on Meng Yuzhi's hands, contrasting with his cold white skin.

Only then did Chi Liuai realize that the sky had turned dark yellow. She had slept for a long time.

Meng Yuzhi approached her gently, and Chi Liuai felt relieved.

It seemed that Brother Yuzhi would no longer hold grudges against her about the past, and she felt a little relieved. Thinking of her mission, she called Brother Yuzhi. Meng Yuzhi, like Chenchen, did not respond to the title.

This made Chi Liuai confused. She already knew what it meant for Meng Yuzhi to bring her here. She was not stupid. Her brother often said that she was the most shrewd woman, and she usually took this title as a compliment.

If a person does not think about himself, how painful his life would be.

She could see that after that night of mutual help, Meng Yuzhi liked her very much, even though he ignored her in the early morning. Brother Yuzhi was jealous that she did not recognize the wrong person.

That's why Meng Ran was punished.

But now, Meng Yuzhi had taken Chi Liuai to his exclusive territory without giving her any reaction. Chi Liuai lowered her head in frustration. From this angle, she looked the most pitiful. The scratching sound of her watch leaving the table made Chi Liuai truly feel pitiful. She saw her watch being treated so roughly.

With a click, Chi Liuai's brows also furrowed tightly.

"Brother Yuzhi, this is mine." Chi Liuai spoke softly, pointing to the watch on the man's wrist, and then deliberately put his hand over it, with his slender wrist touching the warm palm and his fingertips hooked on the silver wristband.

Both of their hands were suspended in the air.

"Really?" Meng Yuzhi's tone was gentle and mellow, but his eyes were calm as water. He asked Chi Liuai seriously, "You don't look like a thief who gets something for nothing."

Meng Yuzhi grabbed the girl's wrist before she could pull away. The watch fit him perfectly, while the watch, which had a large empty space on Chi Liuai's wrist, formed a sharp contrast on Meng Yuzhi.

The large palm easily strangled the girl's breath, and Chi Liuai heard him ask again.

"Liuai, you are a good and obedient child, right?"

Chi Liuai nodded.

"If you want it, take it off yourself."

Chi Liuai loosened his lips and teeth, and his lower lip was swollen and red. Seeing Chi Liuai stunned and unmoved, Meng Yuzhi's expression became indifferent, and he moved his hand away and prepared to leave.

The sticky distance between the two was severed. Chi Liuai felt uneasy about Meng Yuzhi's withdrawal. She grabbed Meng Yuzhi's wrist and was taken away from her comfortable place.

The phone fell to the ground and the screen lit up.

The bragging message that Chi Liuai originally wanted to send to Chi Cheng and Chi Baoyuan was still in the input box.

[Help me see what this is, please. Brother Yuzhi gave it to me, and I don't quite understand it.]

Chi Liuai's little thoughts were seen by Meng Yuzhi again.

Instantly, Chi Liuai managed to grab Meng Yuzhi's wrist. Several red marks were left on Meng Yuzhi's arm from the grip. He stopped pulling his hand away and watched the girl gather her courage.

Take it off with all your strength.

Take off his watch...

Because Meng Yuzhi held her hands with his hands.

Chi Liuai sat there in his limited range of movement, doing nothing but leaving a few shallow scratches on Meng Yuzhi.

Meng Yuzhi rarely had the good mood to analyze the other side of the girl. He didn't understand how Chi Liuai could be so smart and clumsy at the same time, always giving him surprises in unexpected places.

Finally, Chi Liuai raised her eyes. She put herself in all of Meng Yuzhi's sight. Facing the slightly fluctuating light and shadow in his eyes, she didn't know whether this was Meng Yuzhi's dissatisfaction or the reflection of the tenderness of the bedroom chandelier.

But she understood that this was not what Meng Yuzhi wanted. In a moment, she gave up her hard acting, straightened her back, and slowly lowered the man's arm.

Meng Yuzhi's hand was gently pulled by her strength.

Meng Yuzhi became even quieter than her.

"Brother Yuzhi..."

The few sentences he recited softly at the end were the words he taught her last night. Today, without any medicine, the girl still performed well.

Meng Yuzhi loosened his grip a little. "Crack—"

Chi Liuai took off his watch.

Meng Yuzhi never took his eyes off her, staring at the slightly curly ends of Chi Liuai's hair.

She pushed his hand away, forgetting the seduction, and in front of him, she put the unsuitable watch wearer's arm, which seemed to break at the slightest bend, back towards him.

Proudly declare your own success.

There is a bit of expectation of asking for reward.

She passed.

Meng Yuzhi no longer looked at Chi Liuai.

She sat down next to Chi Liuai naturally, and used the phone he picked up to press the buttons according to the postures of the two.

Arms, legs, watches.

She thoughtfully helped Chi Liuai take an ambiguous and intimate photo of her face. The pair of bony hands pressed the girl's face, with white flesh slightly bulging between the fingers, and the jade ring was slightly red.

Meng Yuzhi politely kissed Chi Liuai on the forehead.

"Good boy, send it to her."

This is the reward for successfully competing for the watch through clever means.

Chi Baoyuan has been living in fear for the past two days, ever since she learned that Chi Liuai had been invited by Mr. Meng to go to Yujing Lanting.

She sent someone to secretly inquire about a place she had never set foot in, and the news she got was that Chi Liuai was forcibly driven away by the bodyguards at the banquet, but was not injured. Chi Baoyuan felt a little relieved.

Chi Baoyuan has complicated feelings towards his sister.

Without the adjustment of living together and the blessing of blood relationship, she and Chi Liuai were not as close as Chi Cheng in the Chi family.

As the eldest daughter of the Chi family, she has been carefully brought up since she was old enough to understand. She knows that she has only one mission when she grows up - to marry into the Meng family.

It’s not that she is doted on. Having enough food and clothing is not what Chi Baoyuan pursues. She wants love, lots of love, which cannot be compensated by money.

Chi Cheng could show her care and favor, could protect her from Chi Liuai's unreasonable behavior, and would give her all the best things within his ability. Often, when Chi Cheng slipped something unwanted through his fingers and gave it to Chi Liuai, the younger sister would forgive the harsh words he had said a few days ago and would be happy on her own.

But the more this happened, the more guilty she felt.

On the day of the exhibition, the guilt that had plagued her for several years reached its peak.

In the chat box, Chi Baoyuan deleted the caring words again.

【Are you going home tonight? 】

Delete.

【We have your favorite dishes. 】

Delete.

......

Chi Baoyuan didn't sleep all night. Chi Cheng told her that he would visit He Wanbai in a few days, and she needed to spend time preparing a series of paintings as a gift for the visit. Staying up all night for a playful girl was unwise.

The next day, Chi Liuai still did not return home.

Chi Baoyuan opened the drawer, took out some exquisite jewelry, took a few photos and sent them to Chi Liuai, implying that Chi Cheng had given her another gift.

She believed that the miser who loved money like his life would definitely rush home angrily and shout at her: "All the property in the house is mine!"

She would also generously give gifts to Chi Liuai, which would not only earn her a good reputation, but also earn her Chi Cheng's sympathy, making Chi Liuai's wish come true.

Chi Baoyuan never bothered with Chi Liuai, except for the matter of Meng Yuzhi.

She has a good impression of Mr. Meng, but more importantly, the Chi family needs her to marry into the Meng family.

She and Chi Cheng bear the burden of their father's ambitions.

Unlike Chi Liuai, who is like a puppet, without heart, brain, or desire, just juggling and making people laugh.

After a while, Chi Baoyuan's phone prompted that there was a new message.

An intimate photo.

I can totally understand what Chi Liuai can do.

I didn’t come home last night, probably because I spent the night with this man.

Chi Baoyuan kept it. If this photo, which was sent by her sister without any preparation and foolishly, came at the critical moment when the Meng family was choosing a fiancée, it would become her bargaining chip for victory.

Chi Baoyuan comforted himself and made compensation afterwards. Chi Liuai would still let bygones be bygones, just like Chi Cheng, and would give him some insignificant benefits to make up for it.

Meng Yuzhi let Chi Liuai have another full meal, a full meal in the physical sense.

The restaurant wasn't far away, just a detour through a garden. Someone led the way, and Chi Liuai surveyed the surroundings. This residence was far more luxurious than he'd imagined. The courtyard was deep and expansive, a dense bamboo forest stretched beyond the long corridor, and a patch of saplings uncomfortably grew on the remaining land by the terrace's railing. The hall was decorated in a simple, rustic style, with a round rosewood table and chairs in the center. As soon as Chi Liuai entered, he was greeted by a sweet fragrance.

Osmanthus and chestnut soup, braised chicken rolls, white pine fish balls, shrimp and scallion noodles, shredded pork congee, and several other Jiangsu dishes. The osmanthus and chestnut soup and crab roe soup dumplings were the most appealing to her. Having fasted all night, she was starving, but Chi Liuai had a habit of documenting her life and showing off, so she took photos with her phone before even starting to eat.

Meng Yuzhi waited for her tolerantly.

Chi Liuai was very hungry after the filming, so he picked up his chopsticks and started eating. Chi Liuai ate slowly, but he would not put down his chopsticks until he was full.

Meng Yuzhi always eats until he's 70% full, avoiding carbs and sweets. Eating is just a task for him. After seeing Chi Liuai take the last piece of honey-glazed crispy fish, he ordered the kitchen to bring more food, and then he tried a bite of the crispy fish himself.

generally.

"Being a chef should be the happiest job in the world, Brother Yuzhi." Chi Liuai smiled at the sweet and thick osmanthus and chestnut soup and continued, "My brother used to be a chef. He could stir-fry all kinds of things. He also taught me the secret of controlling the heat..."

Chi Liuai kept talking, fried noodles, fried rice can be considered fried, whatever her brother did was always a bit halo. Chi Liuai couldn't help but feel proud of her brother. Her brother could swing the pot in the fire, just like punching away some bad people beside her, with a brother as hot as midsummer.

Meng Yuzhi did not say anything and waited until Chi Liuai finished speaking.

He stopped eating and reminded Chi Liuai: "Don't talk while eating, and don't talk while sleeping."

He saw Chi Liuai's miserable first half of her life in her poor life etiquette. It seemed that the brother she mentioned had cultivated her into such a person.

He should find an etiquette teacher for Chi Liuai.

The servant came up to clear the dishes. Chi Liuai looked at Meng Yuzhi who criticized her and felt uneasy.

Meng Yuzhi said slowly: "We should continue to talk about the topic just now."

What was the topic just now?

That's it.

Chi Liuai was constrained by the numb feeling that came from his bones when he heard it just now.

2 hours ago, bedroom.

"I need a wife. It's obvious that you, Liuai, are qualified. So, here are my requirements..."

Meng Yuzhi was so arrogant that he didn't even ask Chi Liuai's opinion. Mr. Meng was polite and well-mannered, and behaved like an old money man. He was a gentle gentleman, but he would reveal a little rudeness in front of someone he was determined to win. In Meng Yuzhi's eyes, Chi Liuai would never refuse to become his contracted wife, so he properly deleted the part of politely asking Chi Liuai how she felt.

Moreover, many rude conditions were added just to compete with Chi Liuai.

1. Accept three months of cohabitation.

2. Receive formal education and successfully complete studies.

3. No excessive physical contact is allowed.

4. Under the guidance of etiquette teachers, learn how to play the role of a perfect wife.

The most important thing, Meng Yuzhi said, looking at the restless little liar in his heart, "My partner must remain absolutely loyal and must not have any inappropriate contact with the opposite sex."

"Of course, if you violate any of these rules, you will suffer the consequences accordingly."

What harsh and demanding conditions these are for Chi Liuai, who is lazy, gluttonous, and playful!

But Chi Liuai thought it must be the stagnant air in the room that made her head feel dizzy. After she heard Meng Yuzhi ask her to be his wife, her first thought was about getting the huge sum of money. She should open a restaurant with her brother. No, maybe move to Hangzhou with her brother. Maybe they would invest and become wealthy, and her brother would still take care of her as before. So when she heard Meng Yuzhi's conditions, she thought again, she must tell her brother.

Brother Yuzhi proposed to her and told her that after marriage he would take care of her daily life, help her finish college, tell others that he was her wife, and tolerate her contact with the opposite sex she liked as long as she remained faithful.

Chi Liuai was stunned and nodded subconsciously.

Meng Yuzhi pinched her chin to stop her and said, "Don't be so hasty to promise me. Give me a reply when we meet next time."

"Tell me first, what do you want?"

What do you want?

What......

Chi Liuai had always found Meng Yuzhi's voice incredibly beautiful, like classical music played on an expensive cello, especially now, with his broad hands cupping her face, his collar open to her, clenched tightly, its soft wrinkles extending deep into her chest, rising and falling with his breath. The promise made in this scene was like heavenly music.

Anything is fine. Chi Liuai's eyelashes fluttered. The man in front of her was Meng Yuzhi, the heir of the Meng family and Chi Baoyuan's dream lover.

She believed in Meng Yuzhi's character and his commitment to keeping his word. Compared to the people she had tried to curry favor with in the past, it was easier for her to get this opportunity.

When he thought of this, Chi Liuai couldn't control himself and slowly turned his eyes, like a successful person thinking about a project worth hundreds of millions.

Meng Yuzhi looked at the fox's tail and said with a hint of laughter, "Have you thought about it?"

"I've made up my mind, Mr. Meng." Chi Liuai straightened the man's sleeves and was very satisfied to see that the sleeves completely covered the man's exposed arms.

Chilled, the few seconds their fingertips touched her skin, Meng Yuzhi lowered his eyes to gaze at the hands loosening his sleeves. The raised fingertips, like beads of blood, were red from the cold. Raising his eyes, their gazes intertwined, he quietly waited for the girl to make a wish.

Money, studies, work, family, Meng Yuzhi paused in thought. He could achieve all of these. The little girl who lacked love needed a decent gift to fill the void. What was wrong with being a little greedy?

Chi Liuai buttoned the last cufflink, the remaining warmth warming the cuff. Her eyes were full of smiles, and Meng Yuzhi seemed to see a happy little fish swimming out from those watery eyes.

She said, "Brother Yuzhi, I... I'm a little hungry, can you feed me?"

The little fish swung its tail in the sea of ​​its heart.

Silently rippling.

"I won't eat you. I want to eat today."

Haha, little fox.
