Chapter 54: Who is your sister-in-law?
Xie Ling and Chen Fu Ji had another dispute.
After it was over, Xie Ling felt exhausted and lay on the bed covered with a quilt, staring at the crystal chandelier above his head with a distracted look.
The lights were bright, making the whole room look luxurious and illusory. Everything that had just happened seemed like a dream from which one could not wake up.
Chen Fu Ji has always been willing to spend money on such things.
The suite in this hotel is even more upscale than the one her brother arranged for her. It is luxurious and low-key, with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the night view of the entire city.
"They all confessed, why didn't you report it to me?"
There was a brief stalemate in the atmosphere.
Chen Fu Ji leaned lazily on the top-of-the-line gaming chair.
The computer screen in front of him was on, the game screen was still playing, and the sound of gunfire and kill prompts rang out intermittently.
His fingertips tapped a few times on the keyboard. After a while, he answered her question indifferently, "So you care who your sister-in-law is."
This sentence is not a statement, it is a question.
Express disagreement.
Xie Ling stood up from the bed, biting her lip as she looked at him, "Don't you understand why I care?"
She used all means to marry Cheng Yu'an.
As a result, her brother fell in love with Mu Jia. If Mu Jia married him in the future, wouldn't the four of them have to face each other day and night?
Xie Ling couldn't imagine this weird scene.
Will Cheng Yu'an forget his old love?
Chen Fuji was a very good gamer. Within a few minutes, Xie Ling heard his teammates praising him, "Dude, you're awesome. Leave me your contact information, let's be friends."
Chen Fu Ji didn't turn on the voice chat on his end, so it was always a one-man show for the other side.
Xie Ling got out of bed, put on his slippers, and walked over to her.
She didn't know how to play the game. She looked at it twice, didn't understand it, and turned around to leave.
But his wrist was grabbed by Chen Fu Ji.
The next second, she fell into his arms.
Chen Fuji operated the game with one hand, holding her waist with the other, and taught her the keys. "Press WASD to move, and the mouse to aim. 'Process' means the game calculates the results based on your actions. 'Output'," he suddenly grabbed her hand and pressed it on the spacebar. The character did a double jump to dodge the boss's attack. "Just like this, the screen will give you real-time feedback on your operation results."
Xie Ling didn't understand.
"Then there's the health bar and the mana bar. The blue bar represents mana, which is consumed when skills are used. The red bar represents health, and when it reaches zero, it's Game Over..."
Xie Ling had no idea what he was talking about.
Her hand was forced to press on the mouse, and then she saw a little man on the computer screen throw a weapon out.
The two of them had almost no spiritual communication, and she never cared about his inner world. Xie Ling was not interested in the game and soon struggled in his arms.
"If you don't speak, I'll leave."
Chen Fuji stopped what he was doing, lifted his thin eyelids, and looked at her, "Isn't that what I'm saying?"
"That's not what I'm talking about."
Xie Ling bit her lip again.
yes.
What she meant was that they had to talk about topics related to Cheng Yu'an, and that would count as a conversation.
Chen Fuji leaned back with a hint of impatience, putting some distance between their bodies. He pursed his lips and said bluntly, "Can you capture a man's heart like this?"
“…”
Xie Ling was stunned by what he said.
She quickly looked at him with red eyes, "Then tell me, how can you capture a man's heart?"
The two of them rarely discussed such topics.
Chen Fuji paused for a moment before speaking carefully, "It's yours, no need to fight for it."
There is still a second half to this sentence:
If it’s not yours, there’s no point fighting for it.
Xie Ling understood his subtext.
But she remained silent and said nothing. She just quietly looked away and stopped looking at him.
Xie Ling and Cheng Yu'an were like the real-life version of the TV drama "She Just Wants to Force It." From the very beginning, it was Xie Ling's one-man show.
Call her naive or extreme, but in the end, she got the man.
This shows that her trick works.
Chen Fu Ji was a little annoyed.
He grabbed her hand again and went to work on the computer. "People are almost dying, can you please concentrate..."
Xie Ling broke free from her hand.
"Chen Fuji, I'm going back first."
Having said that, he turned and walked out.
After a while, the sound of a door closing was heard from outside the suite. Chen Fu Ji stared at the direction the person left for a while before slowly looking away.
The phone vibrates.
A call from Cen Chen.
"Why didn't you come to my birthday party today?"
It's not about raising an army to punish someone.
It's a very normal tone, like just saying hello and showing concern.
After all, Chen Fu Ji was not an important person in their circle.
The sound of the game failing came from the computer.
Chen Fu Jibo laughed briefly, "Playing games."
"You've been quite addicted to the internet lately," Cen Chen commented, then quickly changed the subject. "I've got a batch of jadeite from northern Myanmar, along with various high-quality pearls, and I'm looking to sell them in the domestic market. Do you have any channels to sell them to me?"
Chen Fu Ji thought for a while.
"Yes, I have."
"Okay then." Cen Chen said quickly, "Come over when the time comes and we'll discuss the details."
——
Half an hour later, Cheng Yuan made the third call, and this time the call finally went through.
Xie Ling's voice was a little hoarse on the phone.
"Brother Yu'an, are you looking for me?"
Cheng Yu'an hummed, "The housekeeper said you haven't been home all day, so nothing happened, right?"
"No."
Xie Ling shook his head.
Cheng Yu'an asked again, "Why didn't you come to Cen Chen's birthday party tonight?"
Xie Ling's voice was faintly tired as she spoke through the phone, "Brother Cen Chen and I haven't been very close. I asked Sister Yirou to bring him a gift two days ago. I didn't go today."
Cheng Yuan said "hmm".
At this point in the call, the two remained silent.
After a while, Xie Ling still didn't say anything. Cheng Yu'an glanced at the road conditions in front of the car and hung up first.
Xie Siyan's car appeared clearly in front of him.
Cheng Yu'an stepped on the accelerator, caught up with him, and lowered the window. "Si Yan, why are you here?"
This is not the road leading back to the Qingjiangyan villa area.
Xie Siyan parked his car on the side of the road. Upon hearing this, he lowered the window and said, "I need to do something."
Ten o'clock in the evening, coming here to do some business?
Cheng Yuan couldn't help but recall the teasing from everyone at the birthday party that night.
But he didn't ask this question. If he couldn't get the answer from Zhou Xu, he would definitely not say it himself.
Cheng Yuan warned, "Be careful on the road."
"Um."
Xie Siyan replied nonchalantly.
——
Xie Siyan's car was parked downstairs of Mu Jia's apartment.
He was driving a black modified Koenigsegg tonight with the arrogant license plate 001. Mu Jia came down the stairs, still wearing cotton slippers.
"Why are you here so late?"
There is complaint in the words.
Xie Siyan opened the car door and got out, then pulled the person into his arms and said, "I missed you."
"There's no need to come at this time." Mu Jia said softly. She was still saying something when Xie Siyan reached out and pressed her face into his arms, pressing it against his chest. "I just want to feel the treatment of a real boyfriend."
You can find her anytime and anywhere.
Instead of making a phone call and scheduling a shift, she also made excuses.
Mu Jia roughly understood what he was talking about. She had been avoiding him for the past few months.
Xie Siyan didn't really do anything.
The two of them hugged each other innocently for a while downstairs of the apartment building. He rubbed her head. Mu Jia looked up drowsily and asked him, "Did you drink tonight?"
"Um."
Then Mu Jia stopped asking questions.
She thought that this might be because the two of them had just started dating, and the roles changed a little too quickly, so there was still a sense of distance between them.
She always felt that she was not qualified to ask about his whereabouts.
