Chapter 1259: Something Is Fishy
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Chi Shuyan didn’t want to talk about Qi Zhenbai with Brother Feng, so she interrupted him and said that she had something on and had to leave first. She would come back to the hospital tomorrow and the day after. If anything happened to Feng Yuancen in the meantime, Brother Feng could contact her immediately.
Honestly speaking, ever since Feng Yuanlin found out how his cousin had a death wish, he really wouldn’t have interfered in that kid’s business if that kid wasn’t related to him by blood.
He also had a lot of questions to ask Shuyan, but after thinking about it, he really couldn’t care less about the couple’s private affairs. He could only hang up first and prepare to see how Zhenbai was doing!
However, Feng Yuanlin didn’t know what kind of conflict Shuyan had with Zhenbai, so before he hung up, he put in a good word for his friend. “Shuyan, just treat what I said about breaking up as nonsense, and like you didn’t hear anything. As for you and Zhenbai, it’s not good for an outsider like me to interfere, but I really think the two of you are fated. Weren’t you very compatible in the past? Don’t become more and more distant from each other over some small misunderstanding. Don’t use the words ‘break up’ so easily. The two of you should talk more and resolve any misunderstandings in person. Let it all out!”
Brother Feng finished saying everything in one breath, then added in a relaxed, teasing tone, “One more thing: I don’t want to see the two of you carry on some sort of tragic romance! I’ve watched too many melodramas! Don’t learn from those melodramas on TV, like ‘what do you mean you don’t love me enough?’ or ‘I don’t love you enough.’ It’s too fake. If the two of you are really together, what’s real is to live out your days together in a steady relations.h.i.+p. Don’t play those brainless love games all day long! Can you live a lifetime together on just feelings?”
!!
Chi Shuyan really took Brother Feng’s words to heart and felt that he made a lot of sense. She really didn’t plan to play some sort of love game with Qi Zhenbai. She just felt that their personalities didn’t match, and she wasn’t in the mood to fall in love anymore.
With the free time she had, she might as well catch ghosts and earn extra money.
After listening to Brother Feng, Chi Shuyan’s gloom over Qi Zhenbai was swept away. The next time she saw him, she would treat him like air so that she wouldn’t be bullied.
Chi Shuyan’s frown eased and she was in better spirits. She pursed her lips and said, “Brother Feng, why do I feel that listening to you is better than studying for ten years? Your words of comfort are superb. Don’t worry, I’m still busy with official business at the moment and don’t have time to play some ‘tragic romance’ melodrama!”
After a pause, Chi Shuyan continued, “But as for me and Qi Zhenbai, we did have a conflict recently. It’s quite complicated!” Chi Shuyan wanted to tell Brother Feng that their personalities weren’t compatible, but tonight wasn’t the time to talk about this. She changed the subject and said, “But it’s nothing serious. I’ll talk to you about it next time!”
After listening to Shuyan’s generous and relaxed tone, Feng Yuanlin heaved a sigh of relief and nodded. “Okay, let’s meet when you’re free!”
After hanging up, Chi Shuyan suddenly thought of something and dialed Zhen Yu’s number. After that, Chi Shuyan gave the driver a new address.
Ten minutes later, Chi Shuyan met Zhen Yu at a teahouse across the street from the university. She had originally wanted to meet her at the cafe, but after what happened tonight, she felt that if she went to the cafe again, someone there might recognize her. The other customers might not, but the staff at the cafe definitely would. She was too embarra.s.sed to go to that cafe for a while.
When Chi Shuyan went upstairs, Zhen Yu was already waiting by the window on the second floor. This teahouse had always been less busy, and there were even fewer customers now.
When Chi Shuyan went up to the second floor, Zhen Yu was the only one sitting by the window. When she saw Shuyan, she called out excitedly, “Shuyan!”
Chi Shuyan strode over and sat down opposite Zhen Yu. She nodded at her. “Did you wait long? What would you like to drink?”
Zhen Yu said that she had already ordered and had also ordered for Chi Shuyan.
Chi Shuyan nodded. “Okay!”
Zhen Yu was a bit puzzled about why Shuyan had called her to come out. Although she hadn’t been in the cafe earlier, she had seen an ambulance suddenly arrive outside not long after. She had even seen Shuyan, but hadn’t been able to call out to her in time.
She also vaguely heard the customers talking about a fight that had happened in the cafe. Afraid that Shuyan was involved, Zhen Yu had been very worried earlier, and she couldn’t help but ask, “Shuyan, are you okay?”
Chi Shuyan blinked at Zhen Yu and curled her lip. “Why wouldn’t I be?”
Hearing Shuyan’s words, Zhen Yu heaved a sigh of relief. She was also curious and wanted to ask about what happened at the cafe.
Chi Shuyan got straight to the point and asked, “Zhen Yu, who told Feng Yuancen about me in the cafe? How did he know I was there?”
To be honest, she hadn’t thought much of it before, but after calming down, she felt that something wasn’t right. She had arranged to meet Qi Zhenbai alone at the cafe. How did that rascal, Feng Yuancen, find out she was there, and just so happened to show up and confess with an armful of roses?
Chi Shuyan felt that there was something fishy about what happened tonight, but didn’t think that Feng Yuancen would dare send someone to spy on her.
She had always been sharp. If someone was watching her, she would have sensed it long ago.
No one else had known about her being at the cafe. She couldn’t figure out how that rascal, Feng Yuancen, had found out about her. After that, he stupidly confessed to her with a huge bouquet of roses!
Zhen Yu didn’t know what happened in the cafe, so she didn’t feel any guilt as she said honestly, “When Yang Lan and I were shopping, we saw you on a date with President Qi. Later, we suddenly ran into Young Master Feng, who had come to the school to look for you with a bouquet of roses. Seeing how dedicated Young Master Feng was, Yang Lan accidentally let slip where you were! By the way, President Qi didn’t misunderstand, did he?”
Zhen Yu felt that it was unlikely that President Qi, who had always been very calm and collected, would misunderstand, nor would he take Young Master Feng seriously.
Chi Shuyan took in Zhen Yu’s expression and tapped her finger gently on the table as a cold light flashed in her eyes. “Okay, I understand!”
