Chapter 64: The jealousy brought by the young boy...
Bo Cheng felt a little sorry for breaking the contract.
He can pay the penalty and quit this ridiculous game.
Besides, if he continued to hide the truth from Chi Liuai, he would lose an opportunity to pursue love.
The young boy displayed a youthful energy unique to his age, especially his tender features, which stood between youth and manhood. His stern, three-dimensional features were yet gentle, giving him the appearance of a gentle and good-natured boy. Meng Yuzhi had never seen Liu'ai angry with a man his own age. Their quarrels and arguments along the way, amidst the mountains and water, were a perfect match for a young man and a girl, nestled beneath the flowing waters and towering mountains.
[I don't really like men who are older than me.]
This crazy remark in the bar resonated with the two men at the same time.
"Which one is your uncle?" Bo Cheng approached Chi Liuai. There was a considerable height difference between them. He subconsciously bent down and leaned close to Chi Liuai's ear, whispering, "They are looking at us."
Chi Liuai looked at the man sitting on the sofa in the main hall.
At the same time, Meng Yuzhi also sensed her gaze, and he slightly moved his back away from the sofa, looking at Liu'ai who was gradually approaching, and gently reminded her that the buttons on the collar of her school uniform shirt were a little crooked.
Chi Liuai looked down at Meng Yuzhi's fingers, which were slender and with distinct joints. He was arranging the buttons from bottom to top until he reached the top.
Chi Liuai was busy sticking his head out from Meng Yuzhi's broad chest and frowning at his brother.
"Brother, why don't you reply to my message?"
Meng Yuzhi made a generous concession. All of Chi Liuai's troubles and fun things should be given to him. He was magnanimous enough to let his wife keep the contact information of a brother who coveted her every day.
Of course, he did not stop Chi Liuai from contacting Lin Zhun.
Nor will they interfere with Chi Liuai's social life.
This does not mean that there will be occasional accidents, such as two people coincidentally not receiving any messages from each other. This is a very common phenomenon.
Meng Yuzhi straightened Chi Liuai's school uniform jacket, put it in his arm, covered the girl's head with his big hand, and turned to look at Lin Zhun together.
He opened his lips and whispered, "Maybe He Zhun is too busy, right?"
Lin Zhun's mind was suddenly in turmoil, but he appeared calm on the surface.
He gritted his teeth and said, "I'm sorry."
"He should indeed apologize." Meng Yuzhi felt a little distressed for his wife and condemned the man who didn't reply to the message.
Chi Liuai looked up: "Ah? I'm not really angry, just a little worried."
She felt that Meng Yuzhi used some strength in his hand.
"After you guys finish chatting, remember to come over and help me pick out a wedding dress! I really don't know what to choose by myself."
Chi Liuai was looking at hundreds of wedding dress design samples. These were the finished products after she had selected them more than a dozen times. She had always wanted something because she had difficulty choosing. However, she had to pick one on the wedding day.
Meng Yuzhi patted the back of Chi Liuai's head.
Smiled: "Your friends are still waiting for you."
Chi Liuai whispered, the worst friend.
Meng Yuzhi's smile deepened. Chi Liuai always liked to show some small expressions, rolling her eyes, pursing her lips, biting her lower lip, or narrowing her eyes to reveal a sly smile. It didn't take long for her smile to spread to the faces of those around her. She was like this now, and it was clear that Chi Liuai didn't actually dislike this classmate.
Even if Bo Cheng asked to meet Chi Liuai's parents alone, she would not allow it.
She was afraid that Bo Cheng would complain. If Meng Yuzhi knew about her poor performance and bad habits at school, he might do as he had done a few days ago and calmly say to her, "Be patient. After all, I'm accepting punishment, and I still have to suffer a little."
Bo Cheng misunderstood Chi Liuai's expression, which was a shy bow of the head.
He looked at the two men who were talking to Chi Liuai. They were of similar age. One looked gentle, elegant and more steady. He was dressed in a suit and tie and was closer to Chi Liuai. The other had a cold face and stood quietly aside. He stared at Chi Liuai with a sticky and cold look from beginning to end. Whenever Chi Liuai looked at this man, the man would immediately change his gaze to a gentle one, nod at her gently, and say a few words from time to time.
Bo Cheng took the initiative to step forward, misinterpreting the hint that Liu Ai winked at him.
He was in high spirits, revealing his inexperience.
I used the school's affectionate name for Chi Liuai - Liuai.
Then, facing Meng Yuzhi, his aura was inevitably weak, but he was not afraid. The contractual relationship between the two required him to call the gentleman opposite him "boss", but in front of Liuai, he would rather follow Liuai's call to this parent.
"Hello, uncle."
He also didn't forget Lin Zhun.
After hearing the voice of "Uncle" landing, he also followed Liuai and called Lin Zhun.
"Hello, brother."
Uncle, this time it can be a name from an elder, it can also be a plea for help when encountering a difficult problem, and it can also be Chi Liuai's weapon to provoke a man who is much older than her. After a long period of running-in, Uncle, these two words lightly uttered between teeth with lips slightly raised, have become Chi Liuai's unique safe word.
In order to ensure the safety and comfort of the little girl, it was the only salvation that Chi Liuai had tried his best to find.
Now coming out of the mouth of Liuai's pursuer, he is a very young and energetic boy, with the throbbing of adolescence.
Liuai's parents liked him very much. This was the first time Bo Cheng had met such a gentle man. The glimpse he had just had from a distance in the courtyard was probably just an illusion.
The other one's expression also softened.
"Go and have fun." Meng Yuzhi patted the back of Chi Liuai's head. "This is the first time you've brought your good friend home as a guest."
Chi Liuai didn't want to waste time. She still had unimportant homework to do. Ever since she'd promised her mother she'd restart her life, Chi Liuai, who didn't think about life, had been planning for herself every day. It was rare for her to pick up a paintbrush without the thought of surpassing Chi Baoyuan. She also needed to learn how to bake Basque cakes. The weather was beautiful this afternoon, and she really wanted to go shopping with Meng Yuzhi. Of course, not to swipe their credit cards, but to choose ingredients together for dinner. Dessert would definitely be a failed little cake baked by Meng Yuzhi with Chi Liuai as a supporting role. It would be bitter and astringent, or perhaps very sweet and greasy, and have a strange shape.
Everything will turn into a cheerful laugh at the dinner table.
"Uncle, I'm sorry, I really want to see you today. I have something urgent to tell you." Bo Cheng gave Chi Liuai a reassuring look.
Lin Zhun didn't like the boy very much, but he didn't hate him either.
I just want him to disappear from Liu'ai's side immediately, disappear, disappear. If that doesn't work, I just want Liu'ai to be extremely disgusted with this young boy with a pretentious accent.
Bo Cheng's request made both of them feel relieved.
Chi Liuai quickly declined, "My friend is here to see you, please entertain him quickly." He then turned to Bo Cheng in a serious tone, "Be careful with your words, or we will really break up. Don't complain."
Bo Cheng made a swearing gesture and promised with his lips.
——Yes, sir.
Whenever Chi Liuai gets angry, he likes to say some rejection words.
I don't want to see you
I don't want to hear your voice
I don't want to talk to you.
etc.
Bo Cheng is very familiar with it and has his own way of coaxing people.
Chi Liuai had actually stopped being angry a long time ago. She loved to vent all her emotions right then and there. Whenever she remembered these trivial things, she would get angry again, as if she had drunk a potion that restored her memory. Chi Liuai also forgot Lin Zhun's mistake of not replying to her message and happily asked Lin Zhun to help her choose a wedding dress.
As an elder, Meng Yuzhi looked after the child attentively from behind.
Whisper, run slower and be careful not to fall.
Then, she turned around and looked indifferently at the boy who wanted to see her alone.
Walking towards the meeting place, the boy followed behind.
Meng Yuzhi asked a few trivial questions in a friendly manner, and after Bo Cheng agreed, the atmosphere fell into a brief silence.
"Uncle, I want to resign."
Meng Yuzhi raised his eyes.
"To be precise, I can't continue to act and deceive Liu Ai."
Meng Yuzhi: "You can contact your boss directly."
There is no need to go directly to the supplier for such a small matter, and discuss it at his home.
"The main reason is that I think Liu'ai has the right to know the truth, and I..." Bo Cheng lowered his head. "I want to pursue Liu'ai, of course, after she graduates."
This was the first time Meng Yuzhi dealt with the issue of his child's premature love.
It was indeed a bit tricky, as this was a passionate confession from the boy, who mustered up the courage to make a promise to the family of the girl he loved.
It would be even better if the person he confessed to was not his good child but his wife.
"Liuai will go to the US to study abroad."
Meng Yuzhi felt the Mosuo texture of the cigar skin with his fingertips and spoke slowly.
"You can finish your work."
Bo Cheng stepped forward: "I know! I want a chance to pursue her!"
"Pursue?" Meng Yuzhi stared at the blushing boy.
Bo Cheng said: "She is very cute, kind, lively and active every day, and carefree..."
Meng Yuzhi smiled: "But she doesn't even have the patience to entertain you, right?"
"She might have something urgent to do. We're under a lot of academic pressure and have to—"
Meng Yuzhi did not smoke the cigar. The jealousy caused by the young boy was not enough to make him lose control, not to mention that he was not even qualified to please Liu'ai.
"She's picking out her wedding dress."
"What?" Bo Cheng was stunned, and immediately his face turned angry. "She's so young, and you allow her to get married!"
Considering the numerous controls in Chi Liuai's school, where all actors signed confidentiality agreements and were required to promptly submit all information about her, this all-encompassing, all-encompassing surveillance was a reality. This was the family's way of exploiting Chi Liuai, requiring her to become a victim in order to control her in this way?
"She still needs to study, how can she get married? Does her husband really care about her?"
"Aren't you also pursuing Liu'ai?"
"That's different." Bo Cheng retorted.
Meng Yuzhi smiled and said, "You didn't come into contact with Liuai with the intention of getting married. Is this the love you young people have?"
Bo Cheng was speechless for a moment. That was not what he meant at all.
"I can marry Liuai!"
In a fit of rage, Bo Cheng made many promises.
Meng Yuzhi slowly put the cigar back to its place, looked at the bulging veins on the boy's temples, and said slowly.
"I'm afraid not."
"Why?"
Bo Cheng saw Chi Liuai's uncle stand up and walk towards him calmly. He smelled a similar scent to Chi Liuai's, a cold feeling that could soothe the soul. Suddenly, he felt a weight on his shoulders, and Bo Cheng was forced to retreat by the black shadow. When he got closer, he realized the huge gap between himself and this man. The young boy's physique was far less strong than the older man, and his temperament was even weaker.
Bo Cheng felt his heartbeat: "I, I want a reason."
He also got a reason.
The man tilted his jaw, gave him an indifferent look, and spoke calmly.
"Because she is my wife."

The author has something to say:
Not jealous, not jealous, not jealous, not jealous, not jealous. I took a deep breath and wanted to tell Liu Ai that old men have their own advantages.
