Free Web NovelChapter 698: Chi Yu Is Bragging Everywhere: I’m Married!_2
Woman? No, a woman is not okay either.
In the end, he quietly moved to sit on the other side. Oh well, since this woman just went through something unpleasant, he might as well let Yuanyuan accompany her for a while.
During this period, Chi Yu didn’t disturb the conversation between the two best friends, and Dao An, sitting opposite, remained silent as well.
For Dao An, although he usually got information from President Gu, including knowing that Sheng Yi had been in M Country for many days, he was quite unsettled when he heard the things Gu Yuan said. He really wanted to directly ask President Gu why he hadn’t informed him about Sheng Yi’s arrival in M Country in advance.
Fortunately, his rationality quickly brought him back to clarity.
Sheng Yi coming to M Country was essentially to avoid Qin Bing and had nothing to do with him, so what reason was there to inform him first?
If it weren’t for the unexpected incident last night, where Qin Bing came to M Country and almost drove Sheng Yi to a dead end, President Gu wouldn’t have called him for help out of urgency, and wouldn’t have immediately rushed to M Country.
...
Sheng Yi felt much better early in the morning.
Recalling the events of last night, she no longer wept and managed to narrate the happenings of yesterday to Gu Yuan in a barely calm tone.
She casually glossed over the incident of meeting Dao An at the restaurant.
She didn’t mention at all about Dao An accompanying her the whole night, fearing that Yuanyuan would be disappointed in her, for skirting the edge of being a third party...
Although Sheng Yi didn’t mention it, how could Gu Yuan not know, since Dao An was the one who opened the door when she and Chi Yu arrived.
When she saw Dao An standing inside the door, looking disheveled, Gu Yuan thought the two of them had already...
Seeing the misunderstanding on her face, Dao An didn’t let it fester and immediately explained the situation from last night, speaking sincerely without any prevarication, aside from the part where Sheng Yi playfully clung to him, he told Gu Yuan everything about spending the night there.
As an adult man, staying over at a woman’s house, even with a reason, as the two of them are not in a relationship, the things that need explaining must surely be clarified.
"Yuanyuan, did you arrive this morning?" Sheng Yi nestled against Gu Yuan, resting her head on her shoulder, wrapping her arms around Gu Yuan’s waist.
Gu Yuan replied with a hum: "I boarded the plane at 9 pm last night and arrived this morning."
After a night of flying, jet lag hasn’t kicked in yet, but her feet are a bit swollen.
Being able to reach the hotel so quickly is naturally because Gu Yuan was the one who booked the hotel before, she knew the room number, so after getting off the plane, she got in a car and headed straight there.
But she really didn’t expect that Dao An hadn’t left the whole night...
"Yiyi, there’s something I just found out..." Gu Yuan held Sheng Yi’s hand.
Sheng Yi looked at her; "What is it?"
Gu Yuan didn’t hesitate much and said directly: "Qin Bing got out, in the middle of last night."
Upon hearing this, Sheng Yi’s previously relaxed body suddenly tensed up, and she tightened her grip on her face: "Qin Bing got out so quickly?!!"
After the shock,
Sheng Yi quickly became relieved again.
Hadn’t she known all along, that Qin Bing, being powerful and influential, would naturally have ways to easily escape even in M Country, and he surely wouldn’t be kept locked up forever; after all, his status dictates that. He was probably just questioned briefly by the police in M Country before they released him in the middle of the night.
Thinking back, she realized that if the M Country police hadn’t come with five or six people, and Qin Bing only had two people with him, he probably wouldn’t have gone with the police so easily either.
Gu Yuan raised her hand to press on Sheng Yi’s furrowed brows: "It’s okay, as long as I’m here, no matter how domineering Qin Bing is, he wouldn’t dare to snatch someone away from me."
These words are undoubtedly true.
But Sheng Yi knew very well that while Yuanyuan might protect her for a while, she couldn’t protect her for a lifetime.
To resolve an issue, it must be resolved at its root.
But what is the root to resolve?
Sheng Yi was crestfallen.
All of her subtle expressions were clearly observed by Dao An, yet he refrained from speaking further all throughout.
Only after Gu Yuan led Sheng Yi into the bedroom did Dao An finally stand up.
Noticing the packet of sugar-fried chestnuts and a pile of chestnut shells on the low table, Dao An casually asked, "Where did you buy these?"
Chi Yu, with his legs crossed casually, appeared relaxed.
Hearing Dao An’s question, he lifted his eyelids slightly: "Brought them from Sui City."
Chi Yu assumed Dao An was just making casual conversation; in reality, it was just his opening line before discussing serious matters. Then Dao An continued, "Miss Sheng Yi and President Gu haven’t seen each other for a long time, plus the events of last night. Surely Miss Sheng Yi needs President Gu by her side now, so Mr. Chi, be generous and avoid disturbing them."
