He was a little surprised. She actually woke up so early today.
When he got up, he saw the phone and necklace on the coffee table.
His gaze was fixed as he walked over, bending down to pick the necklace.
The bathroom door opened and Changqing suddenly walked out from inside.
His hands trembled. Perhaps it was because of his guilt that he subconsciously held the necklace tightly in his palm, clenching it into a fist.
Changqing happened to see this scene and stared wide-eyed at him.
Under her clear and bright gaze, Song Chuyi felt a sense of awkwardness. “This…”
“You were drunk after two cups and didn’t even eat yesterday. You should be hungry,” Changqing said, interrupting him.
Song Chuyi was a little stunned.
He thought she would ask about the necklace.
As his wife, shouldn’t she ask about it?
“It’s getting late; wash up quickly.” Changqing walked towards the changing room to change after saying that.
Song Chuyi looked towards the changing room and his eyes suddenly squinted.
He lowered his head and pressed his phone. It was out of battery. He plugged in the charger and when he came out after washing up, Changqing was already sitting at the vanity table, doing her skincare routine.
“What happened afterwards yesterday?” Song Chuyi asked casually as he walked towards the changing room.
“That was it. Everyone had a good time.” Changqing looked into the mirror and applied her eye cream seriously. “My dad and Auntie Shen Lu’s matter has been decided. The two of them are no longer young, so they don’t want to be flamboyant about it. They’ll keep it low profile, choose a good day, and have their wedding back in Yangzhou. They’ll also only invite a few relatives to attend.”
Song Chuyi massaged his aching head. How much did he miss last night?
And was she not going to ask about the necklace at all?
He stood behind, watching her without saying a word.
Changqing stood up and glared at him, wide-eyed and baffled. “What are you doing? Don’t you need to work today?”
“I do…” His face became slightly cold.
“I do too. I have a morning meeting at the station today.” Changqing hurried back into the changing room to pick a bag and got ready to go downstairs.
“Wait. Eat slowly; I’ll take you to work.” He called out to her.
“There’s no need. If you take me, it’d be inconvenient for me to come back without a car. I appreciate your kindness.” Changqing walked out and closed the door behind her.
Song Chuyi watched the closed door and felt an inexplicable sense of annoyance as he threw his towel on the floor.
After he got changed and stepped out the door, he heard the car engine from outside.
In the dining area, Auntie Zhang was already cleaning up her cutlery.
How quickly she had eaten!
She actually left without waiting or saying goodbye to him.
Song Chuyi’s thin lips were pressed in an unsightly manner. He asked Auntie Zhang, “What time did I come back last night?”
“Almost ten.” Auntie Zhang smiled and said, “Both you and Mr. Yan were extremely drunk. Changqing had to bring the two of you back alone.”
“I… didn’t do anything when I was drunk, right?” He asked after some hesitation.
Auntie Zhang was stunned and shook her head. “No, only muttering a few words about wanting to drink and stuff like that. Changqing even took some food back for you in fear that you would be hungry when you woke up in the middle of the night. In the end, you didn’t. Have breakfast quickly; I made some porridge for you to warm your stomach.”
“Mm.” Song Chuyi went back to retrieve his phone after breakfast.
It hadn’t charged much. After getting into the car, he switched on his phone and continued charging it in the car.
However, after not charging for long, his phone started to vibrate non-stop. There were messages and at least seven to eight phone call notifications and more. They were from Zhan Mingwei, Li Shaobin, Song Zhengru, Yan Molun…
Among them, “Lamborghini” sent an angry text message: Song Chuyi, you really did me in. My new Lamborghini that cost a few million had to be sent for a few hundred thousand dollars worth of servicing, and that’s not it—you caused me to take a trip to the police station and spend over an hour there and you’re not even picking up. Who’s going to make up for my loss?
A thought flashed in Song Chuyi’s mind. Did this Li Shaobin take the wrong medicine? The problems with his brain seemed to have worsened.
How did he cause a crash? He was sleeping soundly at home last night.
He called over angrily. When the phone was picked up, he said, “Li Shaobin, are you sick?”
“What?” Li Shaobin raised his voice. “Old Song, I think you’re in a more serious condition than I am. Why did you have to upload that kind of photo on Weibo for no reason? It’s toxic. Do you know how big of a car accident you could’ve caused?”
“What did I upload?” Song Chuyi was baffled. A bad premonition arose in his heart.
“You really have no idea? Go take a look for yourself.” Li Shaobin said in a rejoicing tone, “Old Song, I had a rude shock. Even ghosts aren’t as scary as you…”
Song Chuyi couldn’t be bothered to reply and logged in to his Weibo.
After taking a look, his handsome face twitched into a twisted shape.
He couldn’t believe that the person in the photo was him. It sent an evil chill down his spine.
That nose, those eyes, that mouth, the band-aid on that face…
That was him.
Without thinking, he knew that the person who did this must’ve been Yan Changqing, that little b*stard.
There was even the caption: Aren’t I pretty!!
It was a new level of shamelessness.
No wonder she fled so quickly in the morning. She must’ve felt guilty.
Although there weren’t many people who followed him on Weibo, ever since he made an account, there were many people in the hospital who followed him.
After one whole night, there must’ve been many people who had seen it.
F*ck. Could he still face them?
Song Chuyi felt that he had never been this embarrassed in his entire life and quickly deleted it.
After that, he called Yan Changqing angrily. He promised not to beat her up; he would tear her apart.
This woman was simply lawless.
When she had just arrived at the broadcasting station, Changqing looked at her ringing phone and got such a scare she almost threw it out.
According to the time, Song Chuyi must’ve found out.
She didn’t dare to pick it up. Without thinking, she knew that Song Chuyi must already have intentions of killing her.
After the phone stopped ringing, Changqing quickly called Jiang Duoyao. “Darling, I need to stay at your place for a while.”
“Haven’t you been putting up at Ruan Yang’s place?” Jiang Duoyao was baffled. “Why do you need to stay with me? Don’t tell me you fought with Song Chuyi?”
“No, I did something extremely mean. He’s definitely out to kill me. He already knows Ruan Yang’s address, so he’ll definitely go there. So, I have to find a new place,” Changqing said pitifully.
“Oh, I’m not in Northern City, but I can just call the real estate company and tell you the password,” Jiang Duoyao said.
“Thank you so much. Muah.” Changqing gave her two loud kisses. “Can I wear your clothes for the time being?”
“Of course. They’re all sponsored anyway; I can’t wear all of them myself.”
Changqing was about to cry. The power of friends was apparent at a time like this.
At four in the afternoon, Changqing quickly left in her car to Jiang Duoyao’s villa after finishing her work at the station.
And at the hospital, Song Chuyi couldn’t remember how many times he had been laughed at behind his back today.
No matter where he went, the doctors and nurses would secretly cast him weird glances. When he turned around, everyone would cover their mouths to laugh secretly.
He was so angry his face looked like it was frozen.
In the afternoon, after taking a trip to the toilet, he heard the discussion outside.
“Aye, did you see Dr. Song’s photo?”
“I saw it. Although Dr. Song deleted it from his Weibo, Dr. Hu kept it and showed me. I almost died laughing. I can’t believe that was Dr. Song. Aye, woah, the red lipstick gave me a fright.”
“He looked a little like a Thai tranny.”
“I think so too.”
Song Chuyi clenched his fists tightly. He really had the urge to go right up and wallop those people. However, it seemed that would only make him lose even more face.
He decided to teach a lesson to the person who started it. However, of all people, that little b*stard didn’t pick up the entire day.
When he got off work, Song Chuyi dashed back to the Yan Household. He didn’t find Changqing there but received a message from her: Chuchu, I have something to do last minute and have to go on a business trip. The return date hasn’t been set. Take care at home. Muah.
My foot.
Song Chuyi called her, but her phone was off. He gave Boss Feng a call with a black face. “Where did Yan Changqing go on a business trip to?”
“Business trip?” Boss Feng was a little bewildered. “I don’t know about this. However, there doesn’t seem to be much going on at the station; I didn’t hear about any business trips.”
Song Chuyi couldn’t be bothered to hear him carry on and simply hung up, calling Mei Zong next.
Mei Zong was also puzzled. “She doesn’t have any business trips coming up and even has a lot of rest time. She left early this afternoon. She even said she was going to swim.”
Song Chuyi finally understood. This woman was just hiding with a guilty conscience.
Did she think she could hide from his moles?
Swim? She was still in the mood to swim?
See if he didn’t rip her swimsuit apart.
Changqing was really prepared to swim.
In order to enjoy her night alone, she had gone to the mall specifically to get a pretty swimsuit then drove to the supermarket to buy some food before carrying all the stuff to Jiang Duoyao’s villa.
It was indeed a good thing to have celebrity friends. Ruan Yang’s home was a maisonette apartment while the prodigal Jiang Duoyao bought a little villa in Northern City after earning money. The villa wasn’t big but what was important was that there was a seven-to-eight meter little pool in it. Changqing came over once before because Jiang Duoyao wanted to flaunt her villa.
Changqing returned home in a huff that time, telling Wen Tong that she also wanted to work hard to earn money so she could own her own little villa in Northern City too. Next time, if she quarreled with her husband and didn’t feel like returning to her maiden home, she could go over to her villa to hide.
However, she was really useless. Not to mention a villa, but she was still in the midst of paying off the mortgage of a little apartment.
However, luckily, her friends were rich.
Changqing changed into a swimsuit and lay on the chair, eating fruit with satisfaction.
After eating for a while, the sky outside started to darken. She seemed to be affected by it and felt an inexplicable sense of sorrow.
Actually, she had lots of thoughts when she saw that necklace. She should’ve asked but what was the point?
It was understandable that Song Chuyi didn’t love her. The two were in a business marriage to begin with. A married couple built on a business relationship should turn an eye to most things. If she probed into whether he loved her or not, everyone would be unhappy and there would only be more conflict.
