Chapter 88: Stay Away From That Camry When You’re Back

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Song Yu felt a little puzzled when she could not get his answer. She asked with a dejected voice, “Who’s Aili?”

Qi Chengzhi, “…”

Aili? He had almost forgotten to whom this name belonged to. He had to think for a while before he remembered how it came about.

“Why are you thinking about these unnecessary things?” His moist lips nested against the corner of her eyebrow, breathing warm air onto her eyelid.

Thin lips caressed her skin and moved downward to cover her lips but Song Yu shied her head away. She suppressed her anger and kicked him at the calf before turning over with her back facing him.

“What’s wrong!” Qi Chengzhi frowned. Did he pamper her too much to the extent that she could kick him whenever she wanted?

Song Yu remained silent with her back facing him.

Qi Chengzhi frowned and let out a sigh. He scooched over and hugged her from the back.

He had just extended his hand but Song Yu shrugged her shoulders to resist his touch. He was squinting his eyes, they were still reminiscing in the remaining desire from just now. He locked her into his arms with his long limbs and pressed his lips on her hairline, “Stop it.”

Song Yu stopped moving, but she did not turn around either. She was showing her dissatisfaction by not talking to him.

After a while, she heard his deep, raspy voice echoing from her ears near to her hairline, “I made it up.”

“…” Song Yu was startled for a moment but she caught up very quickly.

It meant that he did that purposely on that morning. How dare he made her apologize!

He sensed the relaxation of her body and tighten his arms to pull her in, sealing the gap between himself and her spine. He spoke into her ears with a lowered tone, “Will you believe me if I told you that you are the only woman I’ve been with?”

How could he be thirty-four years old and only been with her, what about the women before her?

Song Yu was not sure whether she could believe his words. She felt that he would not lie about these things and should be able to trust him. On the other hand, she felt that this sounded rather unconvincing. No one would believe it even if he told them.

Her face was so hot that it went numb. She also thought that it would be pointless to entangle herself in this. Suddenly, she felt that she was being unreasonable. Even if he had other women in the past, what could she do?

She kept her head low without saying a word and turned around in silence. Her amenable manner made it look like Qi Chengzhi was hallucinating the whole thing just now.

Qi Chengzhi glanced her with his clear, dark eyes. There was no sign of anger, but rather with a glimmer of amusement. It was too bad that Song Yu missed that.

“Let’s sleep,” he said in an endearing tone. He gently pressed her face onto his chest and planted a kiss on the top of her head.

…

…

They did not have breakfast at home in the next morning. Qi Chengzhi drove Song Yu and Qi Youxuan to Dynasty because Qi Youxuan insisted on eating breakfast there. Qi Chengzhi seemed to be in a really good mood and agreed.

When they were about to enter, they met Wei Ziqi and his family at the entrance of Dynasty.

They left their four-month-old son at home and brought their daughter, Wei Muran with them.

“Such a coincidence, we’re having breakfast with Yan Beicheng. Join us,” Wei Ziqi’s smiling eyes scanned up and down between Song Yu and Qi Chengzhi while he spoke.

Wei Ran greeted Song Yu at aside. Both of them were classmates before Song Family went into bankruptcy. They lost contact for a period of time, but they reunited with each other and had become friends ever since.

Song Yu was very happy to meet Wei Ran, thus Qi Chengzhi did not reject the invite. Furthermore, Wei Ziqi rarely came out after he got married and had children. The gathering today was pure coincidence. After that, all of them entered Dynasty together.

The manager came personally to lead them to Yan Beicheng’s VIP room. After the door was opened, Song Yu was stunned and remained at the doorstep.

“Dad!” Qi Youxuan called out in surprise. He stood there as if he was defeated and wondered if he was going to receive the remaining hundred dollars.

Song Yu stared at the person who should be at outstation sat there leisurely eating his breakfast. She glanced at Qi Chengzhi and turn back to look at Qi Chenglin and asked, “Aren’t you supposed to be out of town?”

Qi Chenglin took his time and put down the teacup. “Haha,” he laughed dryly, “Will you believe that I just came back this morning?”

Song Yu, “…”

She turned around to look at the man beside her. Inside her mind, she roughly figured out what happened. After seeing Qi Youxuan’s vexed expression, she guessed that Qi Chengzhi probably bribed him with something good.

However, the man Song Yu was staring at looked at Qi Chenglin with a clear gaze before saying lightly, “Outstation must’ve been tiring. What are you doing outside instead of resting at home?”

“…”, Song Yu was speechless when she saw Qi Chengzhi still giving a righteous look on his face. He showed no sign of self-awareness that his lie was about to be exposed.

Yan Beicheng secretly pursed his lips at a corner. Qi Chengzhi was as shameless as usual.

“Haha, sisters-in-law, have a seat!” Qi Chenglin seemed to be quite used to Qi Chengzhi’s shamelessness. He ignored his statement and continued to greet Song Yu and Wei Ran.

After the few of them sat down, Yan Beicheng called for the server to add on more food items as he did not expect Qi Chengzhi and Song Yu to be here.

While Yan Beicheng was ordering, Song Yu tugged Qi Chengzhi’s sleeve. She stuck her neck beside Qi Chengzhi’s ears after he turned around and asked softly, “Did you hear what my mum told me over the phone when you called me?”

It could be explained if he heard it as Yu Qianying’s voice was rather loud.

Song Yu figured that he overheard their conversation, resulting in the whole plot of abducting her out with the help of Qi Youxuan.

Even though she was tricked by him, she was not angry about it. She wanted to get away from the arrangement with Wang Yifeng anyway. Besides that, she found Qi Chengzhi quite cute acting this way. Deep down in her heart, she was mischievously scheming to make him admit that he was jealous.

“What did your mum tell you?” QI Chengzhi’s expression was rather complex. His deep gaze hid all of the emotions and asked nonchalantly, but he made Song Yu unable to answer for some reason.

Regardless if he was acting as if he was unaware about it, she could not say that Yu Qianying matchmade her with somebody. How should she phrase it?

Instead of questioning him, she was left speechless after his question. Song Yu had no choice but to eat with her head lowered.

Qi Chengzhi took out his cell phone and checked on a newly received message. It turned out to be from Qi Youxuan. After opening the message, it wrote, “Uncle, are you still giving me the hundred dollars?”

Qi Chengzhi closed the message silently and kept the cell phone. He picked the chopsticks up and ignored the eager gaze from Qi Youxuan.

Suddenly, a delicate hand appeared in front of Song Yu’s eyes. He tore a piece of sponge cake and put it on her plate. His elegant voice sounded above her head, “Don’t only eat a single item.”

Song Yu listened obediently and took the sponge cake and ate awkwardly.

…

…

After finishing breakfast, Qi Youxuan was taken away by Qi Chenglin. He was not able to ask about the outcome of that remaining hundred dollars.

Wei Ziqi and Wei Ran would be bringing Wei Muran to the playground. The other also had their own activities, so they went their own way.

Qi Chengzhi answered a phone call. He could not rest if there was work to be settled in the office because other countries do not consider Chinese New Year holidays similarly to China.

“I know, I’ll be there in a while,” Qi Chengzhi’s voice was formal and cold when he spoke about work, without any emotions. It was vastly different from the way he talked to her.

After he hung up, Song Yu said, “You can leave first if you have something to do. I can take my own ride back.”

He put his phone away and took Song Yu’s hand, covering her hand tightly with his warm palm, “There’s still time to send you back.”

In the end, his Range Rover stopped at the community entrance of Mr. and Mrs. Song Donglin.

Song Yu hesitated for a moment before she alighted. She was not able to ignore Qi Chengzhi’s burning gaze.

She was aware of his intentions after what he did during the last time he had such a burning gaze fixated on her.

Song Yu blushed slightly. Even though the window tint was very dark and not visible from the outside, she still looked around as if she was about to do something wrong. After that, only she closed in on Qi Chengzhi and pecked him gently on his burning lips.

His lips had a faint scent of tea which was pleasant and refreshing. The mixture of the scent together with his aftershave left Song Yu bewildered. She could not resist but to kiss him twice more with a fluttering heart. She was already turned on just by smelling his scent.

She tucked her tummy in and backed away slightly. The gaze under her fluttering eyelashes was enchanted. She was fixated on his thin lips, whose outline was even more pronounced when he was not smiling. Her cheeks were flushed and she subconsciously licked her slightly parted lips.

Qi Chengzhi squinted his eyes and observed how she was trying to ‘seduce’ him. All of a sudden, he pounced on her and pinned her down to the chair and kissed her relentlessly.

It was not like her gentle peck before. His kiss was so deep that Song Yu could feel his tongue almost reaching her throat. It was pushing her tongue around, curling it and stroking her palate all at once, conquering her mouth in such an intense manner.

Before they could realize, their lips were already soaking wet.

Qi Chengzhi held her face and kissed her to his heart’s content before releasing her slowly. Their foreheads were leaning against each other while they panted heavily, their breathing entangling together.

“Stay away from that Camry when you’re back,” he said in a raspy voice while he was still panting slightly.

Song Yu did not understand what he meant at that time. She was in a daze for quite some time before realizing that the ‘Camry’ mentioned by him was actually Wang Yifeng.

“…”, Qi Chengzhi did not continue speaking and just looked at her from a distance. His stare made her stressed as if she did something wrong.

She fiddled with his cardigan unconsciously, pinching and releasing it back and forth. She explained with her head lowered, “My mum called him to the house. I can’t stop her from doing that. Also, even though I could sense that he had feelings for me, I can’t just reject him before he said it out loud.”

Qi Chengzhi pursed his lips. He already looked stern without smiling and this made him look even scarier. He looked like a teacher back in the days about to lecture someone with a ruler in his hand.

Song Yu surrendered after seeing his expression, “If he comes to find me again, I will tell him that I have a boyfriend regardless of whether he confessed or how embarrassing it’ll be. Deal?”

Qi Chengzhi’s expression softened instantly. He kissed her again as if it was a reward before asking again, “When are you returning to your own place?”

“I’m going back on the night of the sixth day of Chinese New Year because I’m working the next day,” Song Yu blushed again right after she glanced at him. His eyes were filled with pure desire and she knew exactly what he had in mind.

Qi Chengzhi tilted his head slightly and buried his face into her neck. He took a deep breath before lifting his head and pinched her waist, “Go home.”

“Have a safe journey,” Song Yu was unwilling to part ways with him when she looked at his handsome face glazed by a layer of desire. She wanted to stay by his side and follow him.

She never knew that she would be such a clingy person. All this while, she hated the feeling of others clinging onto her. She preferred to have some space even if she was in a relationship.

However, this was not necessarily the case anymore.

“Send me a message after you reached the office,” she looked at him and lowered her head to look at his delicate hands.

Song Yu alighted after hearing Qi Chengzhi replied with ‘uhm’.

After Song Yu was out of sight, only Qi Chengzhi drove away.

…

…

When she reached home, Yu Qianying asked her about why did she stay out the whole night, but Song Yu used Ruan Danchen as an excuse to muddle through her questioning.

Yu Qianying said that Jian Yi dropped by yesterday night, but he left shortly after. It was obvious that he was looking for her. Song Yu nodded her head and said nothing. Yu Qianying let out a sigh. It was indeed not very nice if Jian Yi kept coming over even though he already has a girlfriend. However, Yu Qianying still remembered that Jian Yi helped their family through a lot. It was a pity about what happened between Song Yu and Jian Yi.

Song Yu returned to her bedroom after finished listening to Yu Qianying’s nagging. Shortly after, she received a text from Qi Chengzhi, “I’m going to Holland for a business trip, it’ll take around seven to eight days.”

Seven to eight days…

Song Yu stared at the message. Originally, she thought that they did not have to hide their affection after three more days.

Song Yu replied to him after giving some thought, “Take care of your body and eat well.”

She received Qi Chengzhi’s reply not long after she sent her message. It was exactly the same as the last time he went for outstation, there was only a simple ‘uhm’.

Just that this time around, Song Yu was used to his style and did not overthink things.

After sending the message, Qi Chengzhi thought of something and lifted his head suddenly before ordering Cheng Dongge, “Bring Jian Yi along for this trip.” This was to prevent him from bothering Song Yu when he was away.

…

…

Work resumed on the seventh day of Chinese New Year. Qilin’s leisure hotel also prepared to begin construction. Song Yu visited the site and got to know the engineering team and clarified some architectural issues on the spot. The day was almost gone when she returned to Chengshi.

Ruan Danchen just came back after meeting clients by the time Song Yu reached the office.

Ruan Danchen went to fill a glass of water and wheeled over to Song Yu’s side with her office chair. With the glass in hand, she asked softly, “Where did you go on the second night of Chinese New Year?”

“Why? Who told you?” Song Yu drank a mouthful of hot water. She had yet to settle down as she had just returned from being outdoors for a whole day.

“That night, Jian Yi came to look for you at my place. He left with a long face when he found out you were not with me,” Ruan Danchen spoke softly. She leaned closer towards Song Yu and glanced at her, “How come he was looking for you at my place?”

After seeing Song Yu’s uncertain gaze and her face that turned redder from her already reddened cheeks from the chilly weather, Ruan Danchen raised her eyebrow suddenly and asked with surprise and much interest, “You went to QI Chengzhi’s place?”

“…”, Song Yu kept her head low and drank water. She was too embarrassed to admit it directly.

“Not bad, girl!” Ruan Danchen could not help but slapped her thighs. The resulting sound was rather loud, attracting the newcomer’s attention. She immediately made an apologetic expression and dragged Song Yu into the lounge and shut the door, where she still lowered her voice and asked, “What happened?”

Song Yu told her about the excuse she told Yu Qianying. She glanced at Ruan Danchen in embarrassment, “That… I probably need your help to cover in the future.”

“I’m absolutely fine with that, but how long are you going to keep this from your family?” Ruan Danchen asked, “Your mum kept trying to match-make you. It’s not good to delay this. Furthermore, it’s not like Qi Chengzhi could not be seen by others. Your family should be happy if they knew your boyfriend is Qi Chengzhi. Why are you hiding from them?”

“You don’t know about a lot of things…” Song Yu hesitated. She took a glance at Ruan Danchen and felt that she was the only person she could trust other than Wei Ran.

Song Yu became more cautious after what happened with Jian Yi and Guan Xiaolin. She contemplated on letting Ruan Danchen know so much.

Nonetheless, she needed a channel to release all the things that were stressing her mind.

In addition, she had to learn to trust people again.

All this time, Ruan Danchen had always went to the extra mile to help her. She should not ask her for help yet not trust her at the same time.

Song Yu paused for a moment before looking at Ruan Danchen seriously. Then, she slowly revealed what happened to her family, including her relationship with the Qi Family and the engagement to Qi Chengji. She gave Ruan Danchen a general outline about the relationships in between but she did not go into the details.

Ruan Danchen was left gaping in silence. She opened her mouth but could only say ‘ah’ the whole time. Finally, she tapped on Song Yu’s shoulder and said, “It’s quite complicated. Your parents might not accept your relationship with Qi Chengzhi easily. I don’t have much say in this. You’re on your own!”

“…”, Song Yu remained silent.

…

…

After work, Song Yu was contemplating whether she should send Qi Chengzhi a text and ask him when would he be back.

However, Qi Chengzhi already mentioned before he left that the trip would last for seven to eight days. It only had been four days since he left. If she asked now, she was afraid that she might disturb his work and that he might find her to be too clingy.

She walked out of the office subconsciously whilst staring at her cell phone, not noticing the surrounding situation. Suddenly, someone called her, “Song Yu!”

Song Yu gripped on her phone and lifted her head puzzledly. There was no one in front. The voice sounded from behind. She turned her head around and saw Wang Yifeng trotted his way towards her with a smile.

“I saw you just now and greeted you, but you seem to be very deep in thought where you did not notice and just walked past me,” Wang Yifeng laughed, his gaze was fixated on Song Yu’s face.

Under close observation, her features were delicate. The fluffy scarf made her oval face look even smaller. Only the pronounced tip of her nose was exposed, which she nestled it against the edge of the scarf. She stared with those pair of crystal eyes, with clear separation of the black and whites.

Song Yu exuded a sense of pure qualities as if she was untainted by society.

The more Wang Yifeng looked at her, the more he liked what he saw. He decided to pursue her seriously.

Song Yu felt a little uncomfortable after realizing the close proximity between them. She took a step back and maintained a safe distance. She fixed the mess of her hair blown by the wind before smiling politely at him and asked, “I didn’t expect to see you here, you’re here to…”

“I’m here to pick you up from work,” Wang Yifeng laughed and look at her. His direct gaze was quite overwhelming.

Song Yu felt very uncomfortable under his gaze. It was different from Qi Chengzhi. Qi Chengzhi’s gaze was eager and pressing, but there was tenderness in his burning gaze. No matter which kind, her body’s temperature was always rising when he stared at her, blurring her mind in the process.
