Chapter 41: The Diamond-studded Chain Husband’s “Generosity”
Chi Liuai was arranged to stay in a hotel owned by the Meng family, with tight security, and was given a detailed introduction by a temporary housekeeper.
I learned that the criminals who tried to force their way into this resort hotel last time are now serving their sentences in Blue Mountains Prison.
After Meng Yuzhi accompanied Chi Liuai for dinner in the morning, there was only one day left before the two of them went abroad. Chi Liuai tried to change Meng Yuzhi's mind. She didn't want to add any extra burden now. She was very tired and needed a few days of rest.
At this time, her feet were in Meng Yuzhi's palm.
Hearing the girl's words, Meng Yuzhi raised his eyes, circled his ankles with his fingertips, and pressed hard.
"There will be a special physical therapist. You don't need to worry about anything there, Liuai." Meng Yuzhi was applying medicine to her red and swollen ankles and knees.
Chi Liuai gritted his teeth and said, "But I don't like going to unfamiliar places."
"You studied abroad in the US for a year, so this is not unfamiliar."
"I don't like it there." Chi Liuai pulled his foot back, unwilling to let Meng Yuzhi touch it.
At that moment, the housekeeper was reporting on the line, and then a group of people entered. Chi Liuai was stunned. They ignored Chi Liuai and opened the safe to Meng Yuzhi. An exquisite necklace, custom-made with ten diamonds of a stratospheric value, was designed by an internationally renowned jewelry designer, whom Mr. Meng had hired for ten years to create unique jewelry just for his wife. There would also be a dedicated entertainment and media team, building a blueprint for Chi Liuai's happy marriage, so that she could hold her head high in front of the Chi family, Chi Baoyuan, and everyone around her.
Whatever she wanted, Meng Yuzhi gave it to her unconditionally.
Meng Yuzhi seemed to understand Chi Liuai's temperament very well, so he asked, "Do you like this?"
Chi Liuai was about to say that she didn't like it, but because of her face, she held on for a long time and just couldn't say that she didn't want it.
She hesitated, glancing back, but she didn't want to forgive Meng Yuzhi's behavior over the past two days. Blaming herself for everything would be exhausting. The deadlock between them was entirely Meng Yuzhi's fault. Even if she didn't agree now and Meng Yuzhi took the necklace, she wouldn't try to stop him. But it was beautiful. People around her kept insisting it was a rare find, but she couldn't bow to Meng Yuzhi. But it was truly beautiful. But Meng Yuzhi...
The necklace reached Chi Liuai's neck, and Meng Yuzhi personally helped her put it on.
Holding her shoulders, he placed Chi Liuai in front of the dressing mirror. Under her fair little face was a dazzling necklace that was shining brightly.
Chi Liuai swallowed subconsciously.
Then she saw clearly that it was a necklace made of ten rings.
Just a while ago she blurted out that she wanted ten wedding rings.
Meng Yuzhi promised her thirty coins, proposed to her, got engaged, and got married.
Now, the first necklace made of rings, which symbolizes their relationship, was fastened around Chi Liuai's slender neck, making her forget to breathe for a moment.
"Don't worry, even if Liu'ai doesn't want it, it can only appear here." Meng Yuzhi smiled faintly and asked, "There's one more thing, do you want it?"
For some unknown reason, Chi Liuai nodded.
Then, only the bodyguard was left in the room, and Chi Liuai opened the gift personally. Meng Yuzhi stood beside her, encouraging the girl with his eyes, and opened it.
At this moment, the room still smelled of the anti-swelling medicine that the private doctor had prescribed for Chi Liuai. It was a refreshing scent, with a hint of cooling mint. Chi Liuai's knees had suffered greatly on the cheap carpet in the previous few hours. Meng Yuzhi's cigar, clenched between his lips, was puffing white smoke, and ash fell everywhere, on the sofa, on his trouser legs...
Also, Chi Liuai closed his eyes.
Liu'ai won't suffer like this now. Meng Yuzhi instructed that the bedding, furniture, etc. here must be smooth and comfortable without any edges. Someone is also replacing the carpets inside and out with softer ones. Including the incense in the room, which can relieve dizziness and fatigue, even if you only stay for one night.
A few minutes later, the gift in Chi Liuai's hand fell to the ground.
Her hands were shaking and she wanted to get up, but Meng Yuzhi held her shoulders. They both looked at each other in the mirror.
Meng Yuzhi was wearing a black shirt and a suit jacket when at home. The leather armband with the cuffs pressed against the girl's cheek. The cold touch made Chi Liuai dare not move. She had also tasted the taste of this thing, and every failure made her wiser. Chi Liuai pursed her lips, her gums tightly closed, ready to be on guard at any time.
Neither of them looked at the objects that had fallen to the ground.
But everyone knows it.
What was it? It was Chi Liuai's lost ring, the printed records of the text messages she received from her brother, the photos of Chi Liuai and Lin Zhun secretly meeting, the pitiful Chi Liuai hiding in Lin Zhun's arms, the information reports about Chi Liuai and all the people she had contact with, the habit of Chi Liuai having her feet lifted and gently wiped by her brother, the note that Lin Zhun had slipped to Chi Liuai revealing the wooden sign. There were so many things. How could it be so detailed, so excessive...
Meng Yuzhi's eyes were calm as he gently helped Chi Liuai sort out the excess hair that was hooked around the necklace. His gentleness wasn't his usual style, but every time he pulled out a thin strand of hair, it felt like he was holding Chi Liuai hostage, bringing up a lie she had forgotten. He applied gentle pressure, leaving her feeling like a frightened bird, always afraid that this broad hand would press down on her head, and then...
His head felt warm, and Meng Yuzhi's big hand covered it. Chi Liuai was about to open his mouth.
Hush—in the mirror, Meng Yuzhi covered Chi Liuai's mouth again.
"Liuai, no need to explain." Meng Yuzhi said gently, "Didn't I tell you that I believe everything you say?"
Chi Liuai's lips trembled in Meng Yuzhi's palm.
"I'll ask you again, do you like the American region?" Meng Yuzhi asked softly.
Even if Chi Liuai didn't like it or didn't want to, Meng Yuzhi had plenty of ways to get her on a plane away from it all. Just last night, amidst the white haze of cigarette smoke, Meng Yuzhi had admired the girl's vividness, born of fear and resistance. A child like Chi Liuai, spoiled for the first half of her life, didn't have any psychological burden to be hurt. The first thing an abandoned Liuai learned was abandonment. And now, in Meng Yuzhi's hands, who wouldn't hope she'd learn some more, even just a little?
Meng Yuzhi calmly lifted Chi Liuai's head. At this time, she had tears in her eyes. Fortunately, Chi Liuai knew to come back, otherwise she should be in a manor in the American area, guarded by armed bodyguards, waiting for Meng Yuzhi's helicopter to land on the tarmac every day. At that time, her tears would not be like now, hiding her anger.
Chi Liuai's eyes were full of regret, unable to hide his thoughts, and he was also a little angry.
She was afraid that Meng Yuzhi would come after her, and she was also angry that Meng Yuzhi controlled everything about her in private. Not only that, he also brought it out to humiliate her. The reason why liars are afraid of having their lies exposed is that they simply don't remember how many lies they have told. Being settled in this way can only make her angry and embarrassed, and she will make excuses for herself.
"These are my private affairs, you have no right to interfere!"
Meng Yuzhi let go, unbuttoned his cuffs, and tucked them into his arms. Chi Liuai saw the familiar movement, and his strong arms revealed a fierce look. The bodyguards around were ready to leave when they saw this, but Meng Yuzhi told them not to move.
When Chi Liuai saw the muscle lines, her legs went weak. She knew their cruelty and had also experienced their tenderness.
All in all, the situation is not good now. Chi Liuai tried to justify his blunt truth: "What I mean is, I need privacy, friends, and family."
Meng Yuzhi didn't stop and put the watch on the dressing table.
"Everyone has secrets, Brother Yuzhi, you have to understand this too." Chi Liuai prayed to his legs to be more resilient. "Well, let me go outside to get some fresh air first. Brother Yuzhi, I will forgive you when you realize your mistake."
Chi Liuai still didn't think she was wrong. She even felt that Meng Yuzhi's biggest mistake was exposing her.
Chi Liuai tried to move out of the house calmly.
Meng Yuzhi just sat on the sofa. The bodyguards were the ones who took action. They stood in front of Chi Liuai and behind her, using their tall bodies to force the girl to "take the initiative" to approach her boss. "Lock-legged bastards!" Chi Liuai grimaced. She was almost squeezed onto Meng Yuzhi's legs. A bunch of stooges, why didn't they tie her up and put her on Meng Yuzhi?
"A secret?" Meng Yuzhi's eyes were sharp as he admired Chi Liuai's tearful expression. He opened his mouth and said, "Do you have such a thing? Is it your good-for-nothing brother? Or your fighting coach?"
"Don't say that." Chi Liuai instinctively defended, "He is my only relative."
"You are not related by blood."
"But we grew up relying on each other!"
Meng Yuzhi still pointed at the girl's scabbed scar in a casual manner: "Well, the family you depended on for survival abandoned you."
"He didn't abandon me!" Chi Liuai was really angry. He would only cry out when his wound hurt. Even when Meng Yuzhi threatened him with these evidences, Chi Liuai did not show such a panicked look, and never defended herself in front of Meng Yuzhi. "He is just too tired. When life gets better, we will be together again. No one will abandon their loved ones!"
Meng Yuzhi was silent for a moment. He didn't want to discuss the topic of brother and sister with Chi Liuai right now. He looked at Chi Liuai's plain face without makeup. She had lost weight recently. Two days ago, he and her had cuddled on the sofa, watching the snow fall on the branches outside the French window. Now, a person without any blood relationship was treated as a family member by her. She promised him that they would never be apart. Meng Yuzhi was willing to fulfill her wish.
He raised his hand to call the girl over. Chi Liuai was afraid, and the bodyguard helped him. Chi Liuai immediately took advantage of the situation and yelled at the bodyguards, saying that they were bullying. Meng Yuzhi hugged the girl to the sofa with such a casual attitude.
It's really weird.
Everything happened suddenly and calmly, revealing Chi Liuai's lies.
Meng Yuzhi was like discussing "will tomorrow's breakfast be Chinese or Western?" and asked Chi Liuai if she still wanted to go to the American area. It seemed that if Chi Liuai said no, Meng Yuzhi could invite Lin Zhun over, so that the two poor good brothers and sisters who had no blood relationship and even had adolescent feelings for each other could reunite with tears in their eyes under his eyes, and even kowtow to thank Meng Yuzhi for his kindness, and then both leave. By the way, when it's time to get married, they will send a wedding invitation to Meng Yuzhi and get an extra share of the money from Mr. Meng, Chi Liuai's ex-husband.
Without the watch, the teeth mark tattoo was quite obvious on the wrist, and Chi Liuai was stunned for a moment.
Meng Yuzhi was already holding Liuai's face at this time.
Maybe he accepted the loss. A child like Chi Liuai would be missed forever if he couldn't get her.
In that case, give Liuai the relatives he wants.
The paternity test has not come out yet, and the parents have searched in vain. At this time, Liu'ai can only have one relative, so give her the child.
"Look how scared you are." Meng Yuzhi kissed Chi Liuai's trembling eyelids, "When has Daddy never fulfilled your wishes?"
Such pampering made Chi Liuai feel like he was in a dream. Everything that happened last night passed by like a movie, dreamlike and ethereal.
Thinking about it carefully, Meng Yuzhi didn't seem to care too much about himself. From beginning to end, he was panicking and said a lot of words that would cost him a huge price, but fortunately, Meng Yuzhi was not angered.
Chi Liuai lowered his head: "Okay, I forgive you." Even if it was just a stubborn apology for the lies he told in the past.
She felt relieved. From now on, she no longer had to hide the fact that she was seeing her brother from Meng Yuzhi. All the old and new consequences would slowly be smoothed out over time, and she no longer had to think about escaping.
Meng Yuzhi smiled and patted the girl's back to comfort her. He asked, "After making such a fuss for so long, what exactly does Liuai want?"
Chi Liuai jumped for joy: "Family!" But she didn't dare to say much about her brother, for fear of suffering.
Chi Liuai followed the force of the necklace pulling and met Meng Yuzhi's black eyes, which were filled with love, pampering and tenderness.
Her heart moved. It turned out that there was no price to pay for telling the truth. Everything was so simple.
Meng Yuzhi touched the necklace around Chi Liuai's neck. It was shining and beautiful. He immediately prepared it for Chi Liuai. After all, it was easy to give a child whatever he wanted.
Then, the man's voice became gentle and low.
"Okay, wait for daddy to come in and have a child with my Liuai, so that we can have a family. If you want a brother, you can call me uncle and we will have a brother. If you want a boy, we will have a boy, if you want a girl, we will have a girl. Daddy will stop when Liuai has enough family, okay?"
Meng Yuzhi calmly tugged at the necklace and asked, "Liu'ai, do you like the American area?"
