As soon as Feng Yuanlin spoke, Qi Zhenbai’s hand that was holding the wine glass paused.
Qin Qing obviously didn’t plan to settle down so quickly, and suddenly said, “Yuanlin, didn’t we agree to talk about marriage later? I want to put my career first for now!”
As soon as she said that, the atmosphere in the private room froze again. Perhaps because of Feng Yuanlin’s words just now, Qin Qing’s face was very unsightly and stiff. At that moment, she couldn’t sit still anymore. She suddenly said respectfully and politely to Qi Zhenbai, “President Qi, I still have some urgent matters to attend to.”
Qi Zhenbai didn’t care if this woman left or stayed. He looked at Feng Yuanlin, whose face was unsightly, and said, “Very well, Miss Qin, do whatever you want!”
Feng Yuanlin’s face was dark after Qin Qing left.
Chi Shuyan didn’t speak. Qi Zhenbai narrowed his eyes. “Aren’t you going to follow her?”
Feng Yuanlin poured three cups of wine and downed them in one go, his face stiff and unsightly. “It’s fine; we’ll talk when we get back!”
Because of Qin Qing’s sudden departure, Feng Yuanlin was moody as he drank. Qi Zhenbai drank with him, and suddenly said, “Are you really planning to get married? I advise you to reconsider it!”
Feng Yuanlin said, “When I agreed to the relationship in the beginning, it was with marriage in mind. How can I shirk that halfway?”
To some extent, Feng Yuanlin was a chauvinistic and traditional man. His personality was also rough and not that considerate, but he had a strong sense of responsibility. Once he fell in love, unless the other party took the initiative to break up with him or if something really happened between the two of them, he wouldn’t mention breaking up first.
Qi Zhenbai narrowed his eyes. “Do you really like that woman?”
“If you are together, there will always be feelings!” Feng Yuanlin said indifferently. After a pause, Feng Yuanlin glanced at Chi Shuyan, and his lips curled into a smile. “You’re in a relationship yourself; aren’t you clear on that point?”
Qi Zhenbai pursed his lips and didn’t say anything. Chi Shuyan ate as she quietly watched the two of them talk.
Afraid that he had brought the mood down, Feng Yuanlin regained his composure not long after. He suddenly teased Chi Shuyan, “Zhenbai’s wife, why do I feel that Zhenbai’s character has changed a lot since he got together with you? What kind of method did you use to tie him down? Can you share some of your experience?”
Chi Shuyan curled her lip and said, “You can look up masculine virtue in ancient times!”
“Isn’t it feminine virtue?”
“Just change feminine to masculine!”
Feng Yuanlin chuckled and said to Qi Zhenbai, “Zhenbai, don’t tell me this is what your position at home really is like? Have you seen this virtue your wife speaks of?”
Qi Zhenbai glanced at him coldly, and Feng Yuanlin shut up obediently.
Feng Yuanlin went to the washroom halfway through dinner. Chi Shuyan saw the man next to her stare silently at Feng Yuanlin’s departing back. She suddenly asked off-handedly, “It seems that Director Feng does quite like Miss Qin. Do you think what Director Feng said about getting married is true?”
The biggest taboo was getting involved in other people’s relationships. Chi Shuyan was conflicted about whether to tell Feng Yuanlin now or later that his girlfriend was cheating on him!
If Director Feng didn’t have any feelings for Qin Qing, Chi Shuyan wouldn’t feel burdened about telling him right away. However, Director Feng currently still had feelings for her. If Chi Shuyan said it rashly without any evidence, Qin Qing might even lash back at her. It wouldn’t be good if Director Feng held a grudge against her man because of her.
Speaking of which, she had yet to settle accounts with Qin Qing for deliberately saying those things to screw her over in front of Qi Zhenbai. It had only been for Director Feng’s sake that Chi Shuyan hadn’t tried to make things too ugly earlier, and she didn’t take the other woman’s cheap tricks to heart.
At the thought of the woman’s suspicious gaze just now, however, Chi Shuyan wanted to roll her eyes.
