Chapter 168: Living Together

The two took the 10am flight and arrived in the capital some time after 11am.

Chi Shuyan carried a bag over one shoulder while the man beside her helped pull her suitcase along. Qi Zhenbai was afraid that she would be hungry, so he led the way to an old 100-year-old restaurant for lunch.

When the man next to her took out his black card, the waitress inside recognized him, and the manager personally came out to welcome them. After putting away the suitcase, he respectfully led the two to a private high-cla.s.s private room.

Chi Shuyan didn’t expect the man to take her to lunch first. If she had known, she would have found a hotel and put her things down.

Forget it, eat first.

Lunch didn’t take long. After lunch, Chi Shuyan picked up her bag and Qi Zhenbai took her suitcase again. When they left the restaurant, there was a black, low-key Maybach parked outside, and the man was about to put her suitcase inside and have her get into the car.

Chi Shuyan couldn’t help but say, “You can go, I’ll contact you after I book a hotel room.”

“Stay at my place!” The man’s indifferent-sounding tone was conversely very emphatic.

Chi Shuyan: …

Thinking about how the man looked like he wanted to break up with her in the morning and how he now couldn’t wait for her to instantly pack up and go to his place, Chi Shuyan didn’t know how to respond to how his brain circuits magically worked.

But even if he didn’t intend to break up with her, she didn’t plan to live at his place. They had only been dating for a few days, yet she was already going to his door; how could she let that happen?

If her father knew about this, he would immediately rush to the capital to scrub her brain out.

And if she really went to his house, it would be hard to explain it in the future. Chi Shuyan rejected him without thinking. “I’ve booked a hotel room for myself!”

Her lie didn’t have the slightest bit of logic or depth to it, and the man saw through it at once.

Chi Shuyan gave him att.i.tude. “I’ve found a hotel room I want to book!” Her refusal was very clear.

Qi Zhenbai’s already frosty face cooled for no reason. He wasn’t stupid, and he naturally could hear the woman’s clear rejection. What did this rejection of his house mean? He was also well aware that even if this woman had agreed to date him, she didn’t intend to get into a deeper relations.h.i.+p.

This woman was giving herself leeway to back out.

At that thought, the fire in his chest flared again, and his handsome face was so gloomy that it made people panic for no reason. Even after the Qi family driver got out of the car, he saw his Ninth Master’s dark face and didn’t dare go forward, and could only stand at the door to wait.

The two were in a deadlock at the entrance, and the atmosphere was so tense it was about to break.

Chi Shuyan wasn’t afraid of the man’s anger. In the end, Qi Zhenbai, who had always been domineering, chose to take a step back. “Go to my house or stay in my private apartment. Choose one!”

In the end, under the man’s furious expression, Chi Shuyan weakly chose the latter. Had she known earlier, she would have come to the capital and found a hotel first.

She felt terrible at the thought that she would have to live under this man’s eyes for a period of time, and would have to see that cold and serious face every day.

Dating wasn’t easy. She hadn’t felt the least bit sweetness in their relations.h.i.+p, before her freedom was restricted. Chi Shuyan’s mood was complicated. She had always been a loner; she felt out of sorts and even a little regretful.

Why on earth were they dating?

The two got into the car, and half an hour later, they arrived at a very high-end condominium in the center of the capital called the Ritz-Carlton Apartments.

Several security guards were in the security booths on the left and right sides of the gate. Not only did people have to swipe their cards before entering the gate, they also had to scan their faces. This was a high-cla.s.s condominium with very strict privacy.

The security guards all knew the famous Young Master Qi, so naturally, he didn’t have to scan his face, and the car was immediately let through.

Chi Shuyan arrived at the apartment with the other party. The two-level apartment was very s.p.a.cious. It had a spiral staircase, and although the interior decorations weren’t luxurious, it was exquisite and elegant in every way. The cold, black-and-white color scheme was very eye-catching.

There weren’t many ornaments inside, but they were all very elaborate.

Chi Shuyan could be considered to have seen much of the world, but she could tell with a casual glance at the famous wall paintings or vases, as well as the items of display, that they weren’t just worth tens of millions or even a hundred million.

Even Chi Shuyan, who had never lacked money in her past life, couldn’t help but gasp when the tip of the iceberg that was the man’s wealth was revealed to her. Could she be considered to have found herself a golden thigh?
