Chapter 70: Back to the old ways "Still in this way, I will be obedient...

Meng Yuzhi really kept his promise. Before receiving Meng Yuzhi's greeting message, Chi Liuai first received a generous living allowance for this month. Of course, in return, Chi Liuai and Meng Yuzhi needed to assume some obligations in the divorce agreement.

For example, Meng Yuzhi hoped Chi Liuai would chat with him every day on time. These were nothing more than trivial questions: what Liuai had done, what he had eaten, whether he had gone to bed on time, and whether the weather had affected Liuai's daily routine.

abnormal.

Chi Liuai had set Meng Yuzhi's message notification to "Do Not Disturb." She had her own life to live, and there was no need to constantly reply to his messages; he was annoying. Chi Liuai dozed off, her backpack a bit heavy. Nearby were students who had just finished their college entrance exams, but she was the only one still needing to continue studying to adjust to studying abroad. Alone, she whiled away the hours in a café, waiting for her brother to finish work and pick her up.

There is also an important task today - she needs to go to Meng's house to pick up some important items.

It was almost noon, the coffee shop's peak time. Chi Liuai was not used to the large number of customers pouring in. There were many delivery orders outside the coffee shop in the commercial district, and the constant opening and closing of the door hit the wind chimes hanging at the door. Chi Liuai felt a little uneasy. She looked around frequently, hoping to find a seat in the corner.

Unfortunately, the seat was already taken.

Just as Chi Liuai was about to leave, the girl in the corner suddenly looked up, and their eyes met unexpectedly. Chi Liuai quickly looked away.

"Liu'ai? Where on earth have you been all this time?!"

Chi Liuai never thought that she would meet Lu Suiyue again. She couldn't help but look at Suiyue, but she was afraid that Suiyue didn't understand that she was angry, so she stubbornly stood there and didn't move.

Their sincere friendship turned out to be a scam set up by Meng Yuzhi.

Chi Liuai resented Meng Yuzhi even more, as if she were just a toy in a playhouse, a game prop for a control freak like Meng Yuzhi. Chi Liuai didn't feel any respect here. If Meng Yuzhi didn't like her anymore, it meant that everyone could bully her.

Fortunately, she will not be soft-hearted again.

"This one looks good in photos. Should I order this one?" said Lu Sui Yue.

Chi Liuai came back to his senses: "This is very sweet, we can just share one."

The two of them were in a hidden corner, close together. Chi Liuai had forgotten how he had stuck to Lu Suiyue again. He secretly watched his good friend pretending that nothing had happened. Chi Liuai pursed his lips and whispered, "I know the whole truth."

"What's the truth?" Lu Sui Yue asked casually.

Chi Liuai said clearly: "In fact, you were hired by Meng Yuzhi to act and transferred to school to be my friend. You all cheated me together with him for money."

After finishing speaking, Chi Liuai saw Lu Suiyue's unnatural expression and thought that his words were too harsh, so he quickly added: "I can only forgive you a little."

The table for the two of them was filled with cheese macaroni, cooked bread, beef salad, and cake. Chi Liuai loved sweet things, so there were also candied chestnuts given by the cafe. The air was filled with the aroma of candied fruits. The entire cafe was busy serving various customers. They came in talking and laughing, maintaining silence to communicate in low voices. To the elegant music, some people would pour a glass of low-proof red wine into their high-heeled glasses.

Everyone has their own life, and the brief encounter leaves some easily forgotten traces in memory.

Everyone is insignificant to anyone else.

Except for one person, she didn't think so.

Lu Suiyue looked at Chi Liuai in disbelief, but she still hadn't hidden what she wanted to say. She had actually wanted to ask for a long time: "Liuai, I don't mean to belittle you, but I still want to ask, have you always been like this since you were a child? Do you have an excessive sense of self-awareness?"

She explained briefly. Perhaps it was because the coffee shop was not quiet, but she could hear the irregular breathing of the girl opposite her, which made Chi Liuai seem a little pitiful.

"I transferred to another school to study for the college entrance exam, and I became friends with you because I like you very much. Why do you always suspect that others are trying to benefit you?"

In their world, Chi Liuai is just a beautiful and rich person. No one would waste their energy, time and money for her and play a childish game of playing house with friends.

Lu Sui Yue recalled the recent period, including the sudden loss of contact with Chi Liuai, rumors of changes in the school, and the pressure of being ordered to stay home to study for exams. Everything was mixed up, but Lu Sui Yue still managed to keep his life on track.

These words touched the soft spot in Chi Liuai's heart.

"Really? You didn't take any money?" Chi Liuai asked hurriedly, "Didn't he ask you to act?"

Lu Suiyue suddenly realized: "You are talking about your uncle. Indeed, I heard him talking with my mother at home. He looked very fierce, but he spoke very gently."

"What did he say?"

It took a long time, and Lu Suiyue tried hard to recall, adding to the story in bits and pieces.

"Say, please, my mother, be more patient."

"He was emphasizing that you were a very good child and that he was just overly worried."

"He wanted you to have a comfortable study life and that sort of thing, and then my mom suggested sending you to campus."

Chi Liuai's face was as pale as paper as she sat quietly. She mechanically used a cake fork to taste a little cake before taking pictures, but was stopped by Lu Suiyue. She was not angry about what Chi Liuai had just said.

"Don't worry, I haven't taken the photo yet. I'll go first. Remember to send it to me before you leave. Don't block me again." Lu Sui Yue leaned close to Chi Liuai. The two of them were close to each other. It was the faint fragrance that made Chi Liuai feel hot all over. She looked at the camera of Lu Sui Yue's mobile phone.

Chi Liuai's heartbeat was pounding against his chest, caused by Lu Suiyue's words.

Lu Suiyue also heard Chi Liuai's pitiful heartbeat and thought she had upset her. Even if that wasn't her intention, she didn't want her to keep guessing and getting it wrong every time. As she was debating whether to offer her some words of comfort, she suddenly leaned against her face.

Hearing her heartbeat, the girl said softly, "Thank you for liking me. I know everything."

Soft and fragrant.

Lu Suiyue was stunned for a moment, then he pressed his lips and said calmly, "You've gained weight, and there's more flesh on your face. When you go home and edit your photos, remember to slim down your face."

Otherwise why is it so soft?

She had never blocked Lu Suiyue, so Chi Liuai didn't even need to think; the answer was obvious. Her one percent misunderstanding of Meng Yuzhi was entirely based on the ninety-nine percent of calculation! Surveillance, actors, chains, slaps, and education...

Chi Liuai blocked Meng Yuzhi in retaliation.

"I was badly hurt some time ago! I feel like I'm going to have a mental illness!" Chi Liuai said goodbye to Lu Suiyue like this before leaving. "I love my mother very much. She has very beautiful eyes. It's just that she lives a different life from others. My uncle actually thinks my mother is not worthy of being a mother and won't let me live with her!"

"No wonder you left. Are you going to go find your mother now?"

Chi Liuai was not in a hurry. Her brother was unexpectedly late today, so she had plenty of time to describe her mother.

"Maybe, but I haven't been to places like Thailand and Laos, so I'm a little hesitant."

"Liu'ai, wait a minute, where are you talking about?" Lu Sui Yue was stunned.

"Thailand, Laos."

Lu Suiyue was silent for a while, then advised: "Your uncle is old and experienced, and sometimes he has his own reasons for doing things."

At that moment, Chi Liuai's phone beeped. The message was concise and clear, about three custom-made wedding dresses. Chi Liuai froze, seeming to remember that she had a grand wedding that had cost her money and energy. After she had been clamoring for a divorce all night, Meng Yuzhi was taken away for investigation, and the marriage was forgotten. Or perhaps, Meng Yuzhi, who kept his promises, was good at handling such matters. Chi Liuai only needed to say a word, and he would take on the responsibility of a husband to clean up the mess.

Well, Chi Liuai's grudge book is full of Meng Yuzhi, and now he has to add another one: Meng Yuzhi is occasionally a good person. It's full of Meng Yuzhi again.

After bidding farewell to Lu Suiyue, a luxury car stopped steadily in front of Chi Liuai. The window rolled down, and it was Meng Yuzhi.

"Why are you here?"

Meng Yuzhi smiled and said, "It seems Liuai didn't see my message."

Chi Liuai avoided his gaze unnaturally. Meng Yuzhi frowned slightly and said, "Liuai, an agreement is not just written in black and white."

"I know, I know."

Chi Liuai pulled Meng Yuzhi back from the blacklist. The screen full of messages did not prevent Chi Liuai from catching at a glance that Meng Yuzhi would personally pick her up and take her back to the Meng residence today to pack her luggage.

Chi Liuai refused: "Brother will take me there."

Chen Hui got out of the car, opened the door, and waited for Chi Liuai.

The scorching sun and the noon rush hour are enough to attract attention.

Chi Liuai's refusal seemed to be of no use, and Meng Yuzhi's gentle voice coaxed her to get in the car quickly.

After not seeing each other for a few days, Meng Yuzhi seemed taller and stronger, and every part of his clothes was more to Chi Liuai's liking. But Chi Liuai did not forget that behind this gentle face was the cruelty of grabbing her wrist with an iron chain and dragging her to the bedroom. Even if he would not hurt her body, it did not mean that Chi Liuai could forget the fear at that time.

"I don't want to. If I go in, what if you—"

Meng Yuzhi told Chi Liuai: "Liuai, don't speculate about me like this anymore. You know, if I intend to detain you, you won't have the chance to see the police and your brother now. Besides, I said that the agreement is not just black and white." He got out of the car himself. It was the first time in a while that he came into contact with Chi Liuai. His nose was greedy for the girl's fragrance, and he smiled warmly, "I won't let Liuai continue to hate me. Today I'm just going to pack up some of your valuables. Didn't you like it in the past? Knowing about you and Lin Zhun, no matter how angry I am, the punishment you receive is just a kiss in the car. Okay, stop threatening me with things that will never happen in the future. Don't you want to see the gift I prepared for you?"

After getting Meng Yuzhi's promise, Chi Liuai turned her head. Meng Yuzhi looked down at Chi Liuai and leaned over to listen more carefully when she spoke.

"You don't lie?"

Meng Yuzhi smiled: "I promise, if Liuai wants to leave, I will not stop you."

Chi Liuai entered the car and saw Chen Hui sitting in the passenger seat. Today, a stranger was driving the car. Chi Liuai sat in a seat far away from Meng Yuzhi and sent a message to her brother asking him to go to Meng's house to find her. The shaking screen made her feel nauseous. Chi Liuai's stomach was churning and she closed her eyes to rest. Meng Yuzhi did not notice her abnormality.

The shady tree-lined avenue, the bridge across the river, or the commercial road with frequent traffic jams, followed by the smooth and fast-moving elevated road, Chi Liuai wondered how many connections this unfamiliar driver had in his family to be able to drive the car like this, shaking, braking suddenly, and taking a detour.

After all, her physical fitness was not as good as that of a man who had been exercising for many years. Chi Liuai was really uncomfortable and said that she wanted to get out of the car. Meng Yuzhi didn't say anything, and the car continued to speed. Chi Liuai couldn't stand it anymore, so she turned her head to the honest-looking driver and pleaded.

"I beg you, drive slower, I'm going to vomit." Not wanting him to be blamed too much, Chi Liuai could only emphasize, "I've been nauseous frequently these past few months, and it's not you."

At this moment, Meng Yuzhi pulled Chi Liuai back to his side: "Okay, Liuai, don't disturb the driver from driving." Meng Yuzhi was taking care of the car-sick child, and his movements were very familiar. When Chi Liuai reacted, she was sitting diagonally on the man's thighs, held in his arms, and he patted her back and massaged her abdomen.

Meng Yuzhi's gaze gradually deepened.

The two had not seen each other for almost two months. Chi Liuai had a physical condition of nausea. There were no condoms when Lin Zhun and Chi Liuai went shopping. Lin Zhun had never had a sterilization operation, and it would not be another man. Chi Liuai had only been in contact with three opposite sexes so far, excluding her favorite fish ball shop owner, who was over 60 years old. Meng Yuzhi quickly recalled that Chi Liuai had been alone with her upper-class male neighbor for one hour and eighteen minutes on the first of last month, and Lin Zhun went home to be with them.

"Are you still feeling uncomfortable?" Meng Yuzhi asked.

What made Chi Liuai even more uncomfortable was this posture: "It's not uncomfortable anymore, I want to go back to my seat."

Meng Yuzhi helped Chi Liuai straighten her wrinkled skirt, nodded, and let her go. Chi Liuai immediately felt a sense of security. Meng Yuzhi didn't seem too overbearing, and because of some small misunderstanding, Chi Liuai's expression was not very bad. She even smiled at Meng Yuzhi.

Meng Yuzhi gave her a bottle of water and said with a smile, "It will be here soon."

The water was taken out from the ice layer inside the car. Chi Liuai asked Meng Yuzhi to unscrew it. Meng Yuzhi was naturally happy to do so. The car shook during this period and the water wet Meng Yuzhi's leather gloves. He didn't care and leaned back on the leather back seat and continued to look straight ahead.

The water bottle rolled from the girl's abdomen to the bottom of the car.

Chi Liuai drank some ice water, thinking it would make her feel better, but she didn't expect the motion sickness to be so severe. Her body grew heavier. Slowly, her head drooped from the swaying backrest.

Meng Yuzhi's lips curved downward, his smile vanishing. His leather gloves caressed the girl's face, wiping the water stains onto her face, and he spoke to Chen Hui.

"It's better to be obedient this way, right?"

Chen Hui responded: "Madam trusts you very much."

Meng Yuzhi smiled, his eyes fell on Chi Liuai's abdomen, and he slowly instructed: "Contact a private doctor."
