CH 72

Chapter 72 - Uniform (3)

When approaching the end of the corridor, someone suddenly shouted behind him: “Chenyan.”

Chi Chenyan heard it and glanced back.

Bai Qianying walked over, and the sound of her high heels was muffled by the thick carpet.

“Sorry, I was abrupt today. I didn’t tell you in advance.”

“I heard that Lao Zhao was going to meet you, so I came too. I thought that since we were all classmates, it would not be bad to finally meet together.”

Chi Chenyan’s eyes held no emotions: “Anything else?”

Bai Qianying was taken a back for a moment.

She knew what Chi Chenyan meant. If she did not have anything else to say, he would leave.

She bit her lower lips, held her elbow, and smiled sadly: “Have you always been so indifferent to girls?”

It’s similar to when they were dating in high school. Almost all of the people at school knew that they were dating, but she was the only one who found it difficult to deal with the feelings of being in a relationship. This sense of gain and loss made her feel uncomfortable. After she asked him whether he would kiss her or not, he broke up with her.

Chi Chenyan wrinkled his eyebrows.

He felt that he had to make it clear: “You also know that our relationship will cause unnecessary misunderstandings. I don’t think it is necessary for us to meet again.”

Bai Qianying tightened her fingers that was holding her elbow: “Unnecessary misunderstanding, did you mean… your wife?”

“I have met her. She is very beautiful. It’s just that I have always heard in the United States that your relationship is not very good.”

“You and her are married because of your families, right?”

Chi Chenyan narrowed his eyes and looked at the woman in front of him.

He suddenly couldn’t remember what attracted him before.

It may be because she was the only female classmate that didn’t come from a rich family, or because she always liked to wear pleated skirts at that time. All high school boys fantasized about the appearance of campus girls.

“My wife and I have a very good relationship,” he said. “It has always been good.”

“Please don’t say hello to my wife. She doesn’t like the designs of your brand, nor is she interested in attending your show.”

“If there is nothing else, I will leave first.”

After Chi Chenyan finished speaking, he turned and left.

Secretary Zhou followed and looked back at Bai Qianying.

Bai Qianying bit her lower lip tightly and saw the disgust in the secretary’s eyes.

Chi Chenyan went home and received a message from Lu Li in the car saying that she was still playing outside and will come home later.

This made the man, who was accustomed to having a soft little thing rush to greet him as soon as he came home, feel that he couldn’t get used to it for a while.

But he didn’t say anything and just asked if he should pick her up.

Lu Li: [Thank you, husband but there’s no need to do that!]

[A-Li will play by herself!]

Chi Chenyan smiled at Lu Li’s emoji.

He thought that Lu Li would return at probably seven or eight o’ clock, because Lu Li knew his work schedule.

Chi Chenyan then waited at home from seven, to eight, and then nine.

The man sat at the desk and started at his computer.

He didn’t mind it before, but this time, he thought that the time was extremely long.

Chi Chenyan comforted himself that he used to also come home late, and Lu Li also waited for him at home like this.

It’s just that he was not used to this feeling of emptiness.

It was clearly not been a long time since Lu Li’s car accident but he had became used to her sugar-coated words, and when it stopped, he became uncomfortable.

When the clock hour hand pointed at ten, Chi Chenyan finally heard soft footsteps outside. Lu Li stood at the door of the room, poking her head in, and smiled: “Husband, I’m back.”

She originally wanted to ask her husband how it felt with her not being clingy to him and giving him private space, but when she took a look at the man, he didn’t seem to be happy, ad there was a feeling of bitterness coming from him.

Lu Li was puzzled, and walked over: “Husband, what’s the matter?”

Chi Chenyan glanced at the woman who ‘returned at night’, took her hand, and pulled her to sit on his lap.

Lu Li: “I went to the spa, and I don’t smell good.”

Chi Chenyan smelled the scent of essential oils on her body. He thought that she kept him waiting tonight, only for her to go on a full-body spa.

Lu Li noticed that her husband was still upset.

What’s the reason?

Chi Chenyan walked to the bedroom while holding Lu Li.

When he passed by the closet, he glanced at the closet and saw a pair of clothes.

It’s the one she wore when she danced ‘This Is Love’, with a shirt and a plaid skirt.

Chi Chenyan hugged Lu Li and reached out to take the skirt.

Lu Li: “Huh?”

Chi Chenyan replaced Lu Li’s skirt.

When she’s wearing it, she really looks like a 16 or 17-year-old high school student from her former photos. Youthful and delicate. It looked so real, as if she went back in time.

He looked at her and finally couldn’t help but kiss her when he sees her like this.

Lu Li stood tall in front of the mirror: “I’m not young anymore.” As soon as she said this, she was pressed against the mirror and was kissed by him.

Lu Li: “Woo…”

She realized that Chi Chenyan wanted her to wear those clothes because of a certain idea.

“You… pervert!” She bit his knuckle.

Chi Chenyan lowered his head and saw that the corner of her eyes seemed to be blooming like flowers. He panted slightly and nodded: “Yes, I’m a pervert.”
