Song Yu felt more wronged hearing what he said. Her tears began spilling, and drops of them were hanging on her eyelashes.

Qi Chengzhi was in agony. His chest felt congested.

“Alright, alright,” he said as he comforted her, his lips brushing lightly against her eyelashes, kissing the tears away. “My bad, it’s my fault. Stop crying.”

Song Yu’s grieving made him feel heavy-hearted. He kept consoling her gently. He descended from his position and apologized again and again. He was not sure what he did wrong, but the most important goal for him then was to make her feel better. He tried to put her at ease by apologizing and comforting her tenderly.

“What are you talking about that I don’t like you anymore? It’s something nobody would believe.” Qi Chengzhi found her accusation funny.

However, Song Yu’s grieving and how she was trying not to cry with great endeavor was heart-wrenching. Her eyes were red, and her tears only occasionally fell when she could hold it back no more.

“Stop holding it back. If you feel wronged, let it out. You will feel better,” said Qi Chengzhi, thinking about the injustice she had suffered from Jian Yi. He wanted her to vent her anger through this opportunity.

Song Yu whimpered. Her eyes were red as a rabbit’s. Out of frustration, she said, “What do you want? You got mad at me for no reason, but now you’re comforting me. A moment ago, you told me not to cry — now you’re telling me to do the opposite! What do you want me to do?”

“Qi Chengzhi!” Song Yu raised her voice as she felt wronged, “What’s the matter with you today!”

“…” Qi Chengzhi was speechless. It seemed like he was unreasonable, indeed.

“You were in a foul mood when you walked out of the office today.” Qi Chengzhi wiped away the fresh tears. All he wanted was to keep her in his embrace and soothe her.

Song Yu was stunned. She could not say a word, and her tears halted. She merely stared at Qi Chengzhi blankly with her big, red, innocent eyes.

Qi Chengzhi looked at her expression. He had no other choice but to forgive her.

“I’m mad because you suffered injustice today. You were angry, but you didn’t say anything to me.” He hugged her tightly. “Now, are you going to tell me what happened today?”

Song Yu glanced at him weirdly, did he mean Jian Yi’s call?

How did he know?

Was there anything that she could hide from him?

No wonder he asked if she had anything to say to him.

She took the question at face value. The matter completely escaped her mind, which was why she replied ‘no’ subconsciously.

She figured it was her response that made him mad.

Hesitantly, Song Yu then told him about Jian Yi’s call, but she made no mention of the evidence as claimed by Jian Yi.

Since she had no faith in it, there was no reason to convey that to Qi Chengzhi.

“I’m getting sick of his constant pestering. There’s no end to it. Furthermore, not only had he twisted our relationship, he thinks that I’m dating you for your status, and to take vengeance on him! He thinks that those are the reasons I’m hanging on to the relationship.”

After telling the story, Song Yu realized it was, in fact, no big deal. Why did she feel so annoyed by it, until it had affected her the entire day? She felt sorry for herself.

She was a little embarrassed for her overreaction. She spoke awkwardly, “Well, I was boiling because of him. Who does he think he is to pass judgment on our relationship? He thinks too highly of himself. Also, he’s been bothering for so long, his presence lingers. Now that I think about it, it wasn’t such a big deal.”

“Why didn’t you tell me when you’re upset?” Qi Chengzhi pinched her waist. His faint voice sounded displeased.

“I really wasn’t thinking about it.” Song Yu glanced at him innocently with her red eyes. “I was annoyed, but when I saw your car and thought that you’re there waiting for me, the feeling disappeared. That was why I didn’t relate to the matter when you queried.”

“You’re that happy when you saw me?” Qi Chengzhi asked, with a faint smile on his face.

Song Yu blushed again. She said nothing, implying that was indeed the case.

He took out a handkerchief and carefully wiped away the tears on her face.

The handkerchief was made of soft material. He wiped it so gently; her face did not feel hurt at all. Song Yu felt flustered at how affectionate and appreciative he was.

“Alright,” she muttered. Her cheeks had turned rosy. “The neighbors can see us.”

Qi Chengzhi then returned her to the front passenger seat after she tried to wrench away from his lap.

Song Yu continued, “Don’t get mad at me for the same reason next time.”

Qi Chengzhi looked at her affectionately and caressed her hair. His sturdy palm moved downward and locked on the back of her head. With his body leaning forward, his lips brushed gently against hers. He did not act aggressively, unlike previously.

His gentle caress made Song Yu feel weak. Before he began exploring in between her teeth, his tongue stroked through her lips as if he was drawing. Playfully teasing, he sucked on her sweetness.

His kiss did not go deep. The lightness of it could not satisfy Song Yu. She took the initiative and pulled herself closer, but Qi Chengzhi retreated just as she had taken action.

Unable to restrain her emotions, Song Yu hooked on his neck and intended to lug him closer. She advanced toward him, but he took a step back yet again.

She looked at him, not knowing the reason. He just gave her a gentle, faint smile.

“You should never doubt my feelings toward you. Even if it was out of anger, don’t ever mention it again,” said Qi Chengzhi in a deep voice. His deep, hoarse voice pulled on her heartstring. “I’ve already liked you for so long. The feeling won’t disappear all of a sudden.”

Hearing what he said, Song Yu’s heart began beating rapidly. Her cheeks blushed with the statement. Her eyes that were still red were glittering.

“Okay,” she agreed immediately, and she towed on his neck again. Not knowing the reason, she just wanted to kiss him passionately.

“Faster,” she urged him. “Don’t play around like this.” Her scalp was burning as she felt agitated.

“Did I make you grow more lustful each day?” He inched forward, and one could hear the laughter in his voice. His eyes curled into a crescent, as though they were making fun of her.

Still blushing, Song Yu wanted to counter with his statement — ‘Men like women who are slu —, or forward.’

Instead, he was making fun of her!

Just as she was about to speak, before her words of protest could spill out, he covered her mouth.

This time, he was no longer behaving gently. He stopped tickling but went straight and deep with his exploration.

After a while, Qi Chengzhi finally let her loose.

They were in the car for some time. They finally got out after they made themselves presentable.

Fortunately, it was already dark. Nobody could tell Song Yu was all red.

Qi Chengzhi was no longer in a foul mood. He got off the car and took the initiative to hold her hand.

“…” Song Yu looked up at him, still feeling gloomy. He ignored her when he was angry. When his mood recovered, he started holding her hand again.

Regardless, he always had the final say.

Qi Chengzhi took a look at her with no apparent expression. As if reading her mind, he chuckled a little. He strengthened his grip on her hand and said nothing else.

While Song Yu did not want to make a fuss over this matter, she still felt a little annoyed. She pinched on his arm as tit for tat.

When Yu Qianying saw them, she opened the door and let them in.

She immediately took note of Song Yu’s eyes that were still red.

“What’s up with your eyes? Why’re they so red?” Yu Qianying asked. She sounded worried and asked, “Did you two argue?”

Judging from how Song Yu looked, it was apparent she was crying a moment ago.

Being a mother, she was always worried that her daughter would suffer injustice.

Looking at the time just before, she estimated they should be arriving soon. Hence, she went to check at the balcony.

She also saw the Range Rover, which was parked somewhere close by, but the two did not get off until a while later.

Seeing Song Yu’s red eyes, she began to wonder if the both of them had gotten into an argument in the car.

“No,” Song Yu replied in a hurry. She was afraid Yu Qianying and Qi Chengzhi would have a misunderstanding.

The kisses had made her forget what happened just before. She had completely overlooked on how it would look to others.
