Free Web NovelChapter 697: Chi Yu Shows Off Everywhere: I’m Married!
At this moment.
Dao An was sitting on a single sofa, long legs crossed, dressed in a perfectly pressed, meticulously tailored pinstripe three-piece suit, steady and restrained. While chatting with the person opposite him, his arm rested on the sofa armrest; the cuff of his sky-blue shirt showed beneath his well-defined forearm, adorned with a gemstone cufflink.
Sitting across from Dao An was a man and a woman.
The woman’s long black hair was draped over her shoulders, the kind that had just been straightened, thick and dark. A mist-blue spaghetti-strap maxi dress set off her extremely fair skin, with an off-white knitted vest draped over her shoulders. Her faintly mixed-race features were stunningly beautiful.
The man sitting next to her was dressed in casual black, with a face so eye-catching it was almost outrageous. Right now, he was very seriously peeling chestnuts. Every time he finished one, he handed it to the woman beside him; she opened her mouth to bite into the chestnut, and her brows and eyes relaxed in contentment.
The man seemed very pleased with himself. With that smug expression, if he had a tail behind him, it would definitely be wagging so hard it left afterimages by now.
Meanwhile, as he chatted with Gu Yuan, Dao An would occasionally glance at Chi Yu showing off, his expression truly hard to describe.
Yes, this man who was so proud he could wag his tail into afterimages—who else could it be but Chi Yu?
"I heard Mr. Chi has put all his work in Hua Country on hold?" Dao An shifted the topic to the man who was showing off.
Chi Yu took another chestnut. Hearing Dao An’s question, he answered without the slightest hesitation, speaking freely: "My wife’s really good at making money. Why should I work so hard? Living off my wife is what I do best."
Dao An: "..."
Gu Yuan’s expression was speechless. She glanced at the man beside her. "Only you could make ’living off a woman’ sound this fresh and refined." (Pushing the timeline forward, at this point Gu Yuan is not pregnant yet.)
Dao An thought of the big news that had recently rocked the entertainment industry.
He had known Chi Yu’s real identity from President Gu a long time ago. Now, listening to this man openly declare that he was going to live off his wife, it was, in a way, another vicious wave of public displays of affection.
Just as the three of them were chatting happily, Sheng Yi walked out of the bedroom.
Seeing the three people, Sheng Yi froze for a moment.
Her expression went from shocked, to delighted when she recognized who was sitting there, and then she quickly ran over—
"Yuanyuan!!"
Sheng Yi ran over just as Gu Yuan happened to stand up. Right when Sheng Yi was about to fling herself into Gu Yuan’s arms, Chi Yu suddenly stood up and raised his hand to block her. "Hold up!"
Sheng Yi skidded to a stop: ?
Gu Yuan also looked over at Chi Yu.
Chi Yu said to Sheng Yi, "Ease up a bit on the force of you throwing yourself over."
Sheng Yi: "..."
Sheng Yi snorted. "Are you even a man? You’re jealous of me now? I’m a woman, it’s not like I’m stealing your wife."
Chi Yu: "I made myself very clear: ease up on the impact. If you hurl yourself over like that and knock my wife over, then what?"
"My wife" this, "my wife" that—he said it so smoothly.
Sheng Yi was actually used to Chi Yu stickily calling her "Yuanyuan" all the time; now that she suddenly heard him calling her "wife," she felt oddly unaccustomed to it.
Before she could say anything, Chi Yu reminded her, "Oh right, did you follow the entertainment news from a while back when my wife and I made things official?"
Sheng Yi was slow to react for two seconds. "Made what official?"
Chi Yu stated seriously, "I posted our marriage certificate on Weibo."
Sheng Yi: "..."
Gu Yuan: "..."
Dao An: "..."
Oh!
Chi Yu had posted their marriage certificate on Weibo—that was the piece of news that had blown up the entire internet. Of course Sheng Yi had seen it.
She had called Yuanyuan immediately to congratulate her.
And there was another big talking point: the certificate Chi Yu posted wasn’t a Hua Country marriage certificate but an Ireland hundred-year marriage certificate, the kind where you don’t divorce till death, which had practically moved the whole internet.
Now that Chi Yu deliberately brought it up, Sheng Yi knew he was showing off, so she cooperated nicely by offering congratulations in person. "Of course I followed the news of you and Yuanyuan getting married. Congratulations, congratulations."
Chi Yu’s lips curved slightly. "Thank you."
After thanking her, he quickly got to the point. "So I’m worried about my wife—is there anything wrong with that? You barreling over like that is too dangerous. I’m reminding you not to do anything that risky, especially to my wife."
Sheng Yi: "..."
God, I really want to hit him!
Sheng Yi looked at Gu Yuan with a face as bitter as a wrinkled gourd.
Gu Yuan’s expression was quite helpless. "Ignore him."
Then she reached a hand toward Sheng Yi. "Come, sit here."
That spot was where Chi Yu had just been sitting. Seeing Sheng Yi sit in his seat, then looking at his wife whose eyes were now full of another woman, Chi Yu felt so sour inside he could die.
