Chapter 97: Spending a lot of effort "As people grow older, their abilities also grow"...
There is a large flow of people here, and Chi Liuai, who has been locked up at home for a long time, feels a rare sense of relaxation. Although he no longer has the idea of leaving, looking at the vehicles and people coming in and out, he always feels a sense of lightness, as if he can leave here at will.
Chi Liuai didn't want to join in the hunt. Their eyes met, and Meng Yuzhi stared at her for a moment, as if seeing through her. His tone was gentle as he said, "Sit next to me."
There were already people riding horses with prey hanging from their tails, bloody rabbits and deer.
Chi Liuai smelled the smell of blood in the air. Meng Yuzhi was there too. He naturally communicated with the people who came over, using a language that Chi Liuai could not understand. Halfway through his words, Meng Yuzhi's hand on Chi Liuai's shoulder slid to her waist, trying to help her relieve the pain. In an instant, Chi Liuai sat up straight and refused this intimacy.
Meng Yuzhi glanced at him indifferently, and saw Chi Liuai still staring stubbornly at the people and vehicles coming in and out.
At this moment, Meng Yuzhi didn't mind at all and withdrew his hand patiently. Apparently, someone noticed the conflict between the two and used a cute rabbit to coax Chi Liuai.
It was first given to Mr. Meng, who then took it personally to entertain his wife.
Chi Liuai had always pretended to be a man of integrity, but now he had lost some of that. Seeing the rabbit that was supposed to be hunted was in his hands, perhaps it was the fresh life that made Chi Liuai's face turn rosy.
"It's so beautiful." Chi Liuai carefully touched the rabbit's furry head.
"Yeah, very beautiful."
There was no emotion in Meng Yuzhi's black eyes, and he touched Chi Liuai's head gently.
Chi Liuai is a master who takes good care of her pets. Although she is too lazy to do anything, Chi Liuai will diligently ask everyone to love her little pets, and this time will probably be no exception.
Meng Yuzhi thought that the family could use many animals that were more beautiful than rabbits to make Chi Liuai more obedient.
Not with guns, not with intimidation and punishment, and not with hatred.
"Let it go."
Chi Liuai raised her bright eyes and looked at Meng Yuzhi.
There was an uncontrollable fluctuation in Meng Yuzhi's black eyes. He lowered his eyes to look at Chi Liu'ai. She was full of expectation, and her hands were still stroking.
After a long time, Meng Yuzhi agreed with a smile when Chi Liuai was feeling uneasy.
Chi Liuai put the rabbit back on the lawn. Across the huge lawn was the forest, where hunting was not allowed.
Rabbits are like people coming and going, and they will return to their own safe zone freely.
"Bang--"
Chi Liuai trembled suddenly.
Meng Yuzhi saw the paleness in Chi Liuai's face, and quickly stopped talking about what he was talking about. He hugged the person and sat him in his arms, and spoke softly.
"Liuai, don't be afraid."
Meng Yuzhi kissed Chi Liuai's trembling lips, as if telling her that nothing mattered.
"Daddy will look for a better-behaved rabbit."
The rabbit kicked its legs a few times and turned itself over, revealing the bloody hole in its belly, and pointed it at Chi Liuai, whose face turned pale.
It seemed as if it was blaming Chi Liuai for not adopting it, causing it to suffer cruel treatment in this dangerous world.
Meng Yuzhi did not participate in hunting.
It was that group of people who were eager to cling to power and become Meng Yuzhi's hunting rifles in order to demonstrate their own value.
This prey, which was despised by Mr. and Mrs. Meng and was raised by someone, actually dared to cross the line.
They will be hunted down at will.
Meng Yuzhi frowned slightly, scolded a few words, looked at the staff who kept coming with rabbits, and asked his assistant to find a new rabbit. The people around were sent away. Chi Liuai felt nauseous and vomited. The tense emotions that had been in place for a long time collapsed at this moment.
Meng Yuzhi held Chi Liuai's trembling hand.
"Charis."
"I want to go back and rest." Chi Liuai said uncomfortably, "I don't even have this right, right?"
Meng Yuzhi stared at Chi Liuai, and she turned her head away instantly, refusing to look at Meng Yuzhi, in order to express her discomfort.
Chi Liuai coughed, her face wrinkled, looking distressed. The blush on her face was bright and just the right amount. Meng Yuzhi was already familiar with this pitiful yet hard-to-ignore look, but this time, Chi Liuai seemed genuinely hurt. Her trembling shoulders were thin, as if weighed down by the suit jacket she was wearing.
"Of course." Meng Yuzhi apologized to Chi Liuai, "It's my fault that I didn't protect the animals you love."
Chi Liuai said, "I want to be alone."
Meng Yuzhi did not agree. He wanted to take Chi Liuai back to the hotel with a normal expression.
At this time, Chi Liuai looked even more depressed.
"Okay, Liuai, you have to promise me that you won't leave this area."
Meng Yuzhi, who was used to this kind of thing, seemed unable to refuse Chi Liuai's show of weakness.
Meng Yuzhi prepared afternoon tea for Chi Liuai and also had a consultation with a family doctor. Chi Liuai's freedom was limited to the scope allowed by Meng Yuzhi.
She can make a choice.
But the options were set by Meng Yuzhi.
After being freed, Chi Liuai was allowed to do things that Meng Yuzhi agreed to within the area specified by Meng Yuzhi. Even the people she communicated with had to be reviewed by Meng Yuzhi. Chi Liuai looked at the guests who were not far away from her but frequently glanced at her, and their whispers were like punches thrown at her from the air. She began to feel uncomfortable all over no matter where she was, and finally found the bodyguard and told him that she wanted to see Meng Yuzhi.
You see, Meng Yuzhi's predictions have always been accurate.
But Meng Yuzhi seemed to want to punish Chi Liuai and refused to ask him to accompany him to rest. After Chi Liuai made a plea, he left Chi Liuai alone here for people to watch. Chi Liuai's face turned pale in an instant due to emotional fluctuations, and he began to feel anxious. First, the music in the restaurant was unusually harsh, then the colors of the food for afternoon tea were not uniform, and there was also visual oppression caused by too many bodyguards. He was so alone that he was terrified.
But if she stayed in an empty room, Chi Liuai always wanted to cry.
"Please, can you stay away from me? It's really noisy here." Chi Liuai's tone was pleading. The bodyguard looked around in confusion. It was not too noisy here, but just like the boss did not trust his wife, the bodyguard would not give too much trust.
Chi Liuai was afraid that they would think that this was a trick to get rid of them.
She put on a serious expression and made a solemn gesture of assurance.
Meng Yuzhi received a call on the way and was delayed for a few minutes.
Lin Zhun's operation was successful and he is out of danger.
It can even be said that the recovery is good.
When he arrived at the restaurant, he saw Chi Liuai anxiously talking to the bodyguard. After only two or three sentences, his eyes turned red. Especially after he looked at him, he was stunned for a moment, then turned away in anger, facing the glass window. This reminded Meng Yuzhi of the smile Chi Liuai had shown him outside the open-air restaurant during their trip to Spain.
In fact, Meng Yuzhi could not deceive himself. Even though he hated Lin Jun's existence, he had to admit that Liu'ai seemed to have no emotional fluctuations around Lin Jun, and it seemed that her smile around him was only possible because of his command.
Although he said that he didn't mind Lin Zhun's position in Chi Liuai's heart, Meng Yuzhi had used some bad means to bully Chi Liuai and make her cry when they were close in the past. Facing that heartbroken little face, he couldn't restrain his clumsy nature, which inevitably carried a warning meaning.
It’s like talking to Chi Liuai.
Don't hate me. You are so pitiful not because Meng Yuzhi is so annoying.
It's because your brother left you to the man you hate without your permission.
This was Meng Yuzhi's way of saying "bad things" about Lin Zhun.
With Meng Yuzhi's unremitting efforts, even the clueless puppy started wagging its tail at Meng Yuzhi in return for its happy life of delicious food and drink every day. Chi Liuai still stubbornly and ignorantly hated Meng Yuzhi, and even said.
—So what? You must be scheming. Apologize to me now!
This time too.
Facing Meng Yuzhi who had arrived late and left him alone, Chi Liuai said indignantly: "I really wanted you to be by my side just now, but you didn't."
Meng Yuzhi stroked Chi Liuai's clenched fingers to prevent her from hurting herself.
"Apologize to me quickly." Chi Liuai said.
In fact, it only took ten minutes from the time Chi Liuai wanted to see Meng Yuzhi to the time Meng Yuzhi sat next to her.
Meng Yuzhi wanted to make Chi Liuai happy, so he said.
"Liuai, can you let your brother come to our wedding?"
As he spoke, he gave Liuai a rabbit pendant that he had just bought.
Chi Liuai's attention was still on the pendant. She nodded randomly, as if she didn't listen to Meng Yuzhi's words carefully. After a few seconds, she looked at Meng Yuzhi in disbelief. The expression on her face was quite funny. She didn't dare to laugh, nor could she cry.
She was a little hesitant to respond, fearing that it was Meng Yuzhi's trick.
At first, she tried her best but couldn't get Meng Yuzhi to give in.
Chi Liuai looked around and whispered to Meng Yuzhi to put the necklace on her. When Meng Yuzhi leaned over slightly, Chi Liuai made up her mind and rubbed her little face against Meng Yuzhi's lips, and then kissed him again. Meng Yuzhi looked at the girl who was still a little angry just now, and the blush on her face had not yet faded. After accepting the gift as a matter of course, he wisely did not respond to this request directly, but gently said thank you amid the dense kisses.
Even if this temptation is extremely bad and full of traps, I can't let this act of pampering go to waste.
Meng Yuzhi was so angry that he laughed. He narrowed his eyes and looked at Chi Liuai, unwilling to look away.
This child who made people unable to let go, reluctant to teach her a lesson but unable to help bullying her, Meng Yuzhi wondered why he didn't have the opportunity to take care of her and raise her up.
In fact, it was this kind of thought that slowly gave rise to the desire for plunder.
Lin Jun's care gave Chi Liuai a sense of security of being owned, but what about abandonment?
There was no impurity in Meng Yuzhi's black eyes as he looked at Chi Liuai calmly.
The surveillance footage was swapped to erase evidence of late-night knocking on the door, call records were deleted, and the attending physician was bribed to modify the medical records.
In Lin Zhun's world, his sister is a child who is so sick that she has auditory and visual hallucinations and cannot take care of herself. Since he loves her so much, he should take responsibility for her disappearance and personally find a guardian for Liu Ai.
Meng Yuzhi smiled faintly and asked Liuai if he wanted to eat some more.
Chi Liuai shook his head and held Meng Yuzhi's hand intimately, making him feel that he was full.
She completely forgot about the rabbit that had just died and the potential warning to her.
As long as Meng Yuzhi apologizes, Chi Liuai seems to be able to forgive him.
Meng Yuzhi was flattered by the fact that Chi Liuai stopped asking about Lin Zhun's performance.
Of course, the young girl couldn't hide her thoughts. When she entered the room, Chi Liuai couldn't help but ask, "When are you going to call my brother? I want to come by myself."
"Why are you calling?" Meng Yuzhi seemed confused.
Chi Liuai was anxious: "Didn't you say that you want to invite brother to our wedding?"
Chi Liuai deliberately emphasized the word "wedding." Her deliberate flattery seemed to be in vain. Meng Yuzhi didn't seem to be buying it and said indifferently, "There will be a wedding invitation. There's no need to trouble you with such a small matter."
Chi Liuai pursed her lips slightly. She is no longer the same person she was before, and she knows that no matter what she says, nothing will change.
He lowered his head and said, "I understand."
Even though Chi Liuai pretended not to care, the two of them still fell into a strange cold war. Chi Liuai took this opportunity to ask for separate rooms, and Meng Yuzhi agreed.
Late at night, Meng Yuzhi had a craving for a cigarette and went out unconsciously. He leaned on the edge of the terrace and felt the night wind was a little chilly, but he still stayed in the deep, hiding his body in the darkness. He silently looked at Chi Liuai, who had no idea when he got a mobile phone and knew how to hide outside the balcony with skylights and behind the ornamental vegetation. He skillfully entered the phone number he had memorized, and dialed again and again when the prompt of no one answered the call.
Meng Yuzhi had quit smoking shortly after Chi Liuai returned to his side.
Just like Meng Yuzhi lost his cigarettes, Chi Liuai would not have a mobile phone or any other means of contacting the outside world.
The problem is, under Meng Yuzhi's nose, Chi Liuai seems to have acquired extraordinary abilities.
Where did this phone come from?
As people grow older, they become more capable.
The light from the phone peeked out from the darkness, glaring. Meng Yuzhi felt it remind him, telling him—if he secretly had the phone now, he'd have a new lover behind his back later. The ridiculous, childish thought made Meng Yuzhi laugh out loud. He slowly asked the little criminal, who indeed had a criminal record, "Liu'ai, why are you here?"
Chi Liuai froze visibly.
