Chapter 320: School Begins
Qian Zhengde from the Jing family’s auction house had been thinking about contacting Chi Shuyan lately. After learning about the Jing family head’s advancement, he had a faint speculation in his heart. If he had thought of calling Chi Shuyan “ancestor” before, then with the news of the Jing family head’s advancement, he felt that if she refined pills again and sold them at the Jing family’s auction house, not only would she be called ancestor, she would also be wors.h.i.+pped.
Unfortunately, school was about to start soon, so how could Chi Shuyan have the time to refine pills and go to the Jing family’s auction house?
She was at home preparing her luggage. Since she had to stay in school for the first semester, she had to pack more. Taking advantage of the money she had obtained recently, she wanted to buy a house in the capital first.
It would be more convenient for her to stay by herself or for when her father came.
Chi Shuyan was still prepared to discuss the matter of buying a house with Qi Zhenbai. When all was said and done, they no longer had an ordinary relations.h.i.+p. Because they had lived together during the summer break and she had given him a gift, their relations.h.i.+p had progressed tremendously.
When there was no one else around, the two of them would be as sticky as they could be. Kissing was something that happened every day; the only thing they hadn’t done was sleep together. She was already prepared to give herself to him, but she didn’t know that the man had been traumatized by the first time they almost went to bed.
The two of them were good at kissing. Every time the man kissed her, he was as domineering and overbearing as ever, wanting to swallow her whole. But after kissing for a while, the man would stop.
Looking at his calm face sometimes, she wondered if she was the one who was too hungry! She wondered even more if the man was really calm or faking it!
So in just over a month, the most they did was kiss.
The night before she reported to the school, Chi Shuyan waited for the man to come in before she discussed with him the matter of going to school and buying a house.
Qi Zhenbai was originally in a bad mood for the last few days and his expression was very gloomy because school was about to start. Hearing that his wife wanted to buy another house to stay in, Qi Zhenbai’s face was so gloomy that it turned black. He refused without thinking. “No!”
He and his wife had already lived together; how could Qi Zhenbai tolerate living alone now?
Lately, he would be absent-mindedly thinking about his wife at work every day. Every time he had to work overtime, he would directly bring his laptop home just so he could go back and see his wife. His heart would settle when he saw her.
He originally didn’t want his wife to stay in the university dorm for her first year, and even planned to directly use his connections at the university so that his wife could stay off-campus. However, it was normal for freshmen to stay in the dorms. If he really interfered, it would be bad for his wife.
After all, his wife had to study at that school for four years.
But Qi Zhenbai had been pondering a lot these days. In the end, he was prepared to let his wife stay on campus for no more than half a year before he could bring her home. Half a year was already his limit. Who would have thought that his wife said she would buy a house and live elsewhere? He naturally didn’t agree.
Chi Shuyan had already thought that the man wouldn’t agree, but she didn’t expect him to refuse so firmly. She didn’t want to argue with him either, and she sat down on the sofa and said, “I’m not buying a house because I want to live separately from you. The houses in the capital are all quite costly, and it just so happens that I have some money. If I buy one, I can give it to my father even if I’m not living there!”
What if her father came to the capital to see her and found out that she had been living with a man for so long? Chi Shuyan found this scene too scary.
It was better to buy a house first, just in case.
