Chapter 321: Deadlock

Qi Zhenbai wasn’t unreasonable, but at the thought that his wife subconsciously wanted to move away and live somewhere else, he subconsciously panicked. There had only been one day recently when he hadn’t seen her, and that already made him nervous. Moreover, thinking about how there were many boys her age in college, even the outstanding and steady Qi Zhenbai couldn’t help but feel a sense of crisis in his heart, afraid that his wife would be moved by some sweet-talker.

Qi Zhenbai knew that his shortcoming was that he didn’t know how to sweet-talk. He always liked to talk less and do more.

The two of them were eight or nine years apart in age. What if his wife went to university and discovered that she had more to talk about with her peers?

Chi Shuyan didn’t know that the calm-looking man in front of her had so many fanciful thoughts. Seeing that the man was silent, Chi Shuyan sat next to him and tugged gently at his sleeve. “Are you really angry?”

Qi Zhenbai patted his legs expressionlessly. “Sit!”

Chi Shuyan looked at the man in front of her a few times. It wasn’t as if they hadn’t been this intimate before. She got up and sat on the man’s lap familiarly, then coaxed softly, “I’m buying a house for my dad, alright? Where will he stay if he comes to the capital?”

Qi Zhenbai said indifferently, “I have a house!”

Chi Shuyan choked. “That’s your place. What will my dad think of living at your place?”

Qi Zhenbai thought about how he had given his wife a supplementary card recently, but she hadn’t swiped it even once. He felt that his wife was drawing too clear a line between them. Also, on the matter of his father-in-law, it seemed his wife didn’t plan for him to meet her parents. Qi Zhenbai narrowed his dark eyes. “My place? Isn’t what’s mine yours? And why aren’t you using your supplementary card?” When he said the last sentence, the man’s tone was terrifyingly low.

Seeing the man’s stormy face, Chi Shuyan was helpless. She didn’t want there to be any misunderstandings between them, so she explained honestly, “I think it’s better to use my own money before we get married. I’m more at ease that way. It won’t be too late for me to use your money when we’re really married!”

Qi Zhenbai’s face had just softened a bit, but in the blink of an eye, his wife suddenly changed the subject and said, “I think there’s still some risk before we get married. No matter how good our relationship is now, who knows what will happen in the future. If we break…” up, you’ll also lose out.

Before she could finish her sentence, the two big hands on her waist tightened noticeably. Chi Shuyan couldn’t help but hiss.

She looked up and saw the man’s eyes spewing fire and ruthlessness. “Are you planning a way out for yourself?”

Originally, Chi Shuyan was calmly narrating a practical issue, but who would have thought that the man would react so strongly? She hurriedly slapped away the man’s large hands on her waist and replied, “No, no! I’m just calmly listing all sorts of issues, alright? It’s not like I really want to break up. I just feel that if I use your money now and we don’t get along in the future, wouldn’t that be a loss to you?”

It would have been fine if Chi Shuyan hadn’t explained. Every time Qi Zhenbai heard words related to “breaking up” from his wife, even just hypothetically, it was hard for him to suppress the ruthlessness that surged up in his heart. With a cold face and veins bulging on his forehead, he said, “There are no what-ifs and no breakups. Just use the money I give you. Don’t even think about breaking up in this lifetime! If I find out that you dare fall in love with another man, I’ll break your legs!”

The conversation that night ended with that last sentence from the man.

Usually, the two would sleep in the same room, but that night, they slept apart. Who asked that man’s expression to be so scary?

Chi Shuyan reflected on what she had just said. Had she said anything about looking for a way out or falling out of love?

Why did the meaning change when it came out of this man’s mouth?!
