CHAPTER 196: 187: YU XINMAN GETS ENGAGED, CUTS OFF RELATIONS

"Hmm..." Yu Zhi pushed against the man’s shoulders a couple of times, her light brown almond eyes misty with moisture.

When she glared at him, it seemed as if there was a hint of accusation.

Shi Wei wrapped his arms around the girl’s waist, bringing her to his knees, burying his head into her neck, greedily inhaling that fresh scent.

His state was clearly out of sorts, and Yu Zhi pressed her slightly swollen lips together, her clear voice tinged with a bit of hoarseness, "Shi Wei, what’s wrong with you?"

At the end of her words, that soft and tender skin on her neck was suckled by warm lips.

Seeing those two ambiguous marks, belonging to him, made the irritation in Shi Wei’s heart gradually dissipate, "Your friend, Wen Renche, came to the company looking for me today."

"How did your conversation go?" The girl didn’t sense anything amiss, and her tone remained just as it was before, without much change.

"Alright, he said he went to find you at noon?"

"Mm, we had lunch together."

Upon hearing, Shi Wei’s embrace around the girl suddenly tightened a lot, like he wanted to meld her into his soul, "Why didn’t you tell me?"

Clearly, he had sent her a WeChat message at noon.

But she didn’t mention a word about Wen Renche.

Yu Zhi raised her brows, "I did mention it."

She mentioned having a meal with a friend, just didn’t emphasize who that friend was.

Recalling the message, Shi Wei gave a light acknowledgment and didn’t press further, playing with the girl’s long fingers, "He just got back from Australia?"

"Yeah, he returned yesterday."

"You met yesterday too?" The man’s voice was inexplicably dangerous.

Yu Zhi nodded, briefly recounting yesterday’s events, her lips curling slightly, "He originally wanted to meet you yesterday, but you were on a business trip."

Shi Wei raised his head, silently gazing into the girl’s clear and bright almond eyes, all those suppressed violent tendencies eventually dissipating completely.

Nevertheless, he still had to feel a little jealous.

"Zhizhi is getting tired of hubby, isn’t she?" The man pressed his face against hers, sounding somewhat aggrieved.

Like a concubine in a palace seeking favor, throwing a little tantrum.

Yu Zhi: "..."

How did she suddenly feel like she became a ’scumbag’?

Yu Zhi kissed his cheek, earnestly and solemnly saying, "I haven’t, I won’t get tired of you."

Her serious expression almost made Shi Wei laugh out loud; he suppressed the slight curve of his lips, "Then why did you go out alone with another man behind my back?"

"Not alone, Jin Yunzhi was there too."

"Jin Yunzhi doesn’t count."

Yu Zhi: "..."

She sighed quietly, cupped the man’s cheeks, and kissed from his forehead down to his jaw, earnestly coaxing him, "Don’t be mad, I was wrong."

Although she still didn’t know where exactly she went wrong, that’s how it goes in Korean dramas.

Even if the roles are reversed, it doesn’t matter; the key is to admit fault.

"Tonight, I want in the study," Shi Wei, having had enough of his ’unreasonable troublemaking,’ started making shameless requests again, "Twice."

"Once, okay?" Yu Zhi, with her slightly flushed face, held up a finger, still trying to struggle a bit.

Shi Wei didn’t speak, that aggrieved look reappearing on his handsome face.

Though a bit mismatched, it was enough to soften her heart.

"Then twice it is." Yu Zhi took a deep breath, already preparing for the sore back and inability to get up tomorrow due to his troublesome nature.

Having achieved his aim, Shi Wei no longer pretended.

He kissed the girl’s lips and, after placing her in the passenger seat, eagerly started the car.

Like a gust of wind, they vanished from Shengde’s entrance.

The night was deep.

The piercing cold wind disrupted the trees on both sides of the road, causing withered yellow leaves to scatter disorderly on the ground.

At the entrance of the Chen Family, illuminated by only one lamp, appeared a thin silhouette; perhaps the wind was too cold, making her shiver several times.

Yu Xinman lightly inhaled the scent of alcohol on her body, and as the tightly shut gate slowly opened for her, her round eyes suddenly became much more dazed.

She stumbled up the stairs and stopped outside a familiar bedroom, nervously and expectantly, lightly knocked twice.

About to sleep, Chen Yan heard the annoying knock at the door and a hint of irritation crossed his eyes.

But when he saw the girl standing outside the door, that hint of irritation was replaced by an enigmatic smile, "Xinman, why are you here?"

After spending some time together, their relationship had grown much more ambiguous, even their nicknames were intimately close.
