Free Web NovelChapter 701: Discovering Dao An’s Secret
"Stay at the hotel!" Gu Yuan’s finger gently poked Chi Yu’s chest, making her stance very clear.
Chi Yu wasn’t happy: "No, I won’t!"
Gu Yuan: "I forbid you to say no."
Chi Yu: "No!"
All right.
Gu Yuan cupped his face with both hands and gave it a few squeezes: "I’m sincerely asking for your help. Don’t be stubborn. Right now, Yiyi’s safety is the most important. With you there, you can protect Yiyi, and I can be at ease."
"Wife~"
The last note was playfully drawn out.
Gu Yuan’s heart trembled slightly. Even though Chi Yu called her "wife" every day, she still hadn’t gotten used to the title.
She raised her eyelids, her long black hair cascading down her back like a waterfall. She removed her hands from his face and placed them around the back of his neck, loosely clasping them together. The tips of her fingers occasionally brushed against the stubble on his neck, tickling and a bit prickly.
Then she heard Chi Yu say, "You want me to protect Sheng Yi, then who will protect me?" He said it with such seriousness and logic: "Besides, if you leave me at the hotel and Qin Bing comes back with his crew, my frail little body won’t stand a chance."
After saying this, he extended his long arms, wrapped them around Gu Yuan’s waist, and rested his head on her shoulder: "Wife, how can you bear to leave me behind."
Gu Yuan shrugged, and Chi Yu lifted his head.
The two of them locked eyes.
Finally, Gu Yuan couldn’t help but laugh: "How do you come up with so many antics?"
The ultimate drama king.
Chi Yu was very unhappy because Gu Yuan left him behind: "Can’t I just wait outside for you?"
Gu Yuan approached it seriously: "What about Yiyi?"
Chi Yu replied without hesitation: "Just bring her along; she’s a grown adult, she won’t get lost."
"..."
On the phone, Dao An mentioned he had something to discuss with her, and the meeting also needed to avoid Sheng Yi.
However, Chi Yu managed to convince Gu Yuan with his reasoning.
...
Upon leaving the hotel, Gu Yuan keenly sensed something was off.
She glanced at Chi Yu.
Clearly, Chi Yu had noticed as well.
The two didn’t mention it.
Only the oblivious Sheng Yi had a great mood after leaving; she was beaming at everyone and anyone, her smile wide under her mask, ready to flash her grin at any moment.
The self-healing seemed to have some effect.
Chi Yu opened the car door, and Sheng Yi graciously said, "Thank you."
Sheng Yi got into the car, scooted over to make room for Gu Yuan, but Chi Yu closed the door behind her.
Sheng Yi: ???
Then Chi Yu opened the passenger door.
Gu Yuan: ...
She silently got into the passenger seat. Chi Yu bent down and leaned in to fasten her seatbelt, and at that moment, Gu Yuan heard Chi Yu’s voice in her ear: "Those people aren’t Qin Bing’s men."
Gu Yuan acknowledged with a sound but said nothing more.
She shared the same thoughts as Chi Yu.
If those people outside the hotel weren’t Qin Bing’s, then they must be...
For now, Gu Yuan didn’t delve deeper.
Everything will be clear once they meet Dao An!
"Yuanyuan!"
"Your man is really petty! You see him every day; we haven’t met in ages. I thought he was finally being decent when he opened the door! Turns out he never acts decent."
From the back seat came Sheng Yi’s muttering voice.
She sat up and leaned forward, trying to eavesdrop on the two people in front.
Sheng Yi poked her head forward and asked: "What are you two talking about?"
Chi Yu slightly lifted his eyelids: "We’re whispering as a couple. Why are you so curious?"
Sheng Yi scrunched her nose and said what was on her mind: "Chi Yu!! It’s a miracle you have a wife in this life."
Chi Yu’s lips curled into a smile: "Sorry to disappoint you, but the miracle has already happened."
Gu Yuan found the bickering between the two a bit of a headache. Chi Yu was overly reliant on her, and she understood. Being abroad, his focus was constantly on her, which wasn’t as exaggerated back home. She, too, hadn’t seen Sheng Yi for some time and naturally wanted to spend time with her.
But she couldn’t split into two people, so she could only try to accommodate both of their feelings.
She placed a hand on one side of Chi Yu’s face: "Alright, stop bantering. We’ll talk about this later. Let’s head out; Dao An should already be waiting for me."
Chi Yu, as if no one else was around, pecked Gu Yuan on the forehead, made sure the seatbelt was secure, then closed the door and walked around the car to the driver’s seat and started the car.
Unfamiliar with the area, Chi Yu adjusted the navigation. However, it wasn’t long after the car left the hotel that Chi Yu sensed something was off again.
