Chapter 7 The Reasons for Becoming Mortal Enemies
A bath for two?
Isn't that just two people taking a bath together naked?
True married couples should take a bath together.
But his relationship with Song Yinxi... was fake!
A bath for two...
The bathtub in the house is indeed spacious.
Enough for two people to take a bath together.
"Why are you blushing?" Song Yinxi suddenly leaned closer, her amber eyes sparkling. "You're not... secretly fantasizing about something, are you?"
"I didn't!" Duan Jinchi blurted out in denial.
And they're so close...
Does she really like sticking close to him like that?
Is this what physiological attraction is?
She always unconsciously wanted to get closer to him, especially with those beautiful amber eyes.
In the past, those eyes would glare at him whenever they saw him.
"Nothing?" Song Yinxi persisted, her eyes sparkling. "Explain yourself."
"I wasn't thinking about anything." Duan Jinchi's heart pounded slightly as he took a deep breath. "I just felt... a bath together was too ambiguous."
"Isn't it normal for couples to have an ambiguous relationship?"
She has a point.
Duan Jinchi was speechless for a moment.
He can't very well change his tune and say they got married out of love—after all, he had previously vowed that they were "marrying because they loved each other."
"We haven't been married long, and we're not used to being this intimate yet," he offered a flimsy excuse. "Honey, how about... I wash your hair first?"
"Need not!"
"Why? If you wash it yourself, you'll easily get the wound wet."
“We’ve never even taken a bath together, I don’t believe you can take good care of me.” Song Yinxi picked up her phone casually, “Let me see if there are any professional caregivers available.”
"Alright."
Duan Jinchi was indeed worried about getting her wound wet.
Soon, professionals came to wash Song Yinxi's hair, and she could simply lie down and enjoy it.
As night fell, Song Yinxi leaned against the headboard and suddenly said, "Honey, I've noticed... our chat history looks like we're enemies, not like a loving couple at all."
"That's because we've been arguing lately, you forgot?" Duan Jinchi's explanation became increasingly smooth.
"Oh? Then why are we arguing?"
“Because…one day you came home and asked me if I had changed at all. I couldn’t answer, and you got angry.” He secretly used the reason his parents were arguing.
"What have I changed about me?" Song Yinxi asked curiously.
"You got your hair permed at the ends, just a tiny curl, really just a tiny one."
His father didn't realize it either.
Then Mom got angry.
"This shows you don't care about me at all, so you deserve to argue." Song Yinxi said with a look of conviction. "You'll have to be more attentive in the future, honey."
This level... I've passed it?
After losing her memory, she seemed particularly trusting of him.
They're quite easy to fool.
"Honey, what do you think of this ring?"
Song Yinxi handed the screen over.
A 45-carat Asscher-cut pink diamond, with its brilliant fire and pure, sweet beauty like cherry blossoms, is elegant and dazzling, like a perfect work of art that is impossible to look away from.
Asking price: 25 million.
A perfect diamond, a perfect price.
Removing a zero would actually suit Duan Jinchi's "idiot" persona quite well.
"Honey..." Song Yinxi blinked coquettishly, "You let me choose whichever I want, it's only a little over 20 million, you won't be reluctant to spend it, will you?"
Upon meeting her gaze, Duan Jinchi nodded instinctively: "Of course not, I'll buy it."
"Then I'll send you the link."
Song Yinxi beamed with joy.
The moment the link was sent, Duan Jinchi's phone rang.
He looked at the name on the screen: "I'm going out to take this call."
"good."
Song Yinxi slightly pursed her lips.
Her diamonds!
You haven't paid yet!
This call couldn't have come at the worst possible time...
Don't let her know who it is!
Duan Jinchi stood tall at the end of the corridor, his voice indifferent: "What is it?"
"Brother!! Where did you go!" Cousin Xie Shumo wailed on the other end of the phone, "Auntie couldn't find you, so she made me go on a blind date for you! But the girl didn't even like me, she only liked you! If you ask me, Lin Manni is pretty, you should just go for it!"
"So many people like me, if they all fall for me, wouldn't I be chopped into mincemeat and divided up?" Duan Jinchi said sarcastically. "I'm not Boyi Kao."
"This joke isn't funny at all! Auntie said you haven't been to the company or home for two days. Bro, you didn't get arrested, did you? How many days are you going to get sentenced?"
Duan Jinchi sighed, "He's been arrested, how can he still answer your calls?"
"Oh...right..." Xie Shumo paused, then suddenly realized, "Brother! You've been released on bail!"
Duan Jinchi felt a surge of inexplicable anger, finding it hard to believe that this guy with such a peculiar thought process was one-quarter his blood relative.
"I wasn't arrested! I'm dealing with personal matters," he said in a low voice. "Don't worry about it."
"I don't want to get involved either, but I was rejected after arranging a blind date for you. I feel so wronged... Why does everyone like you but not me..."
Not everyone likes him.
For example, the guy in the ward—if she hadn't lost her memory, he wouldn't have had the chance to pretend to be her husband, let alone get along so harmoniously.
Duan Jinchi knew exactly why Song Yinxi disliked him.
Eight years ago, the Song family fell into a financial crisis. His father took him to Changqing Group, hoping to take the opportunity to acquire the company.
While Song Jingfu was in his office trying to persuade him to sell the company, his father also told Song Yinxi, who was doing her homework in the meeting room, "This will be our family company from now on."
Then the father and son were kicked out by the father and daughter.
He was nineteen, and she was sixteen.
From that day on, Song Yinxi never gave him a kind look again.
Later, Song Jingfu attracted investment from abroad, and Changqing Group was revived.
Last time, Min Xin said that Song Yinxi's goal was to make Changqing Group a Fortune 500 company—in reality, she just wanted to prevent the company from falling into crisis again and vowed to make it bigger and stronger.
Perhaps Song Yinxi even wants to bring down Herun, acquire it, and take revenge.
hiss……
Suddenly I felt a chill down my back.
"You've been quite free lately?" Duan Jinchi asked casually. "Have you finished all the tasks your uncle gave you?"
"I hate you all! A bunch of workaholics!" Xie Shumo gritted his teeth. "You make so much money, someone has to spend it! I feel like I was born to spend money!"
"I hope you don't squander your uncle's fortune."
Song Yinxi just asked him to buy a diamond ring worth 25 million.
They can spend quite a lot.
"It's okay, cousin, you definitely won't see me homeless then~" Xie Shumo asked with a grin, "Seriously, what are you doing, bro?"
"Enough with the nonsense, I'm hanging up."
Duan Jinchi hung up the phone, clicked on the link sent by Song Yinxi, and placed an order and made payment.
Spending a little money to make your wife happy is worthwhile.
My dad does that all the time.
When I returned to the ward, Song Yinxi was already lying in bed, seemingly asleep.
She, on the other hand, slept soundly.
Poor him, he'll have to sleep on the sofa again tonight!
Once she's discharged from the hospital and goes home, he won't have to sleep on the sofa anymore.
When will Song Yinxi be able to be discharged from the hospital?
