Chapter 238 - Song Yu Sniffed His Body Twice. You Are Smoking Again?” (2/2)
He had finished a box of cigarettes today.
Qi Chengzhi did not utter a word. He turned his head around and stared at Song Yu with an unknown purpose. He noticed that she was not behaving differently and treated him just the same as always.
Could it be that Mu Sisi did not find her today?
Qi Chengzhi heaved a sigh softly, it would be for the best if he could confess to her compared to her finding out about it from others, even though she may not be able to accept it.
“What’s the matter? Song Yu was scrutinizing his face. She felt sorry for him after sensing that he was troubled.
She had never seen him so hesitant and unconfident. She knew that he was ready to confess to her, therefore she was not eager to talk about it first. From the perspective of Qi Chengzhi, it would be different if he could tell her about it first, compared to her mentioning it first. She felt that he would prefer the former, even if she did not mind which one came first.
Qi Chengzhi remained silent, he looked down slightly and held her left hand and their fingers crossed with each other. He slightly increased the strength of his grip and lifted her hand to stare at the back of her fair and delicate hand.
He then raised his head and stared at her earnestly, his left hand softly held her cheek and he leaned forward to kiss her lips gently. He was kissing with such tenderness and the kiss was full of reluctance to let her leave. It was like the last kiss by him.
Song Yu inhaled and used her right hand to imitate the action he had used before. She grabbed the back of his head and gave him a strong and powerful kiss.
When their lips were finally separated, Qi Chengzhi looked at her astonished, his thin and attractive lips were a little swollen after her kiss.
Song Yu blushed in embarrassment when she saw what she had done to his lips.
Song Yu was smiling shyly and still blushing, and she raised her head to kiss his lips once more. “Let’s go home.”
Qi Chengzhi’s feeling was extremely complicated, he pinched Song Yu’s hand and started the car and left.
…
…
They went back home and had their dinner after some tidying up. After that, Qi Chengzhi went to the study room.
Song Yu stared at Qi Chengzhi’s back when he left and puckered her lips, then she went upstairs into their bedroom.
After she finished bathing, Qi Chengzhi had yet to return. Song Yu was a little worried and wanted to go downstairs to have a look. Just when she reached the doorway, the door was pushed open. She retreated one step to give some space, and she saw Qi Chengzhi standing at the doorway.
The cigarette smell of his body became stronger, he was definitely smoking in the study room again.
She did not mind him smoking cigarettes. When he was chasing after her, he was a very active smoker. Every time she dated him, his body smelled of cigarettes but she felt that the smell was pleasant and it had become a unique smell for him. Compared to other men who smoked, the smell he possessed was much more aromatic.
However, she was worried that he smoked too much because something was troubling him.
Her gaze slid downward slightly, and she saw his bony, elegant, and slender fingers holding a folder.
Song Yu’s felt her heart skipped a beat, and she took the initiative to hold his hand first. “What were you busy doing until so late?”
Qi Chengzhi was quiet for a while, then he said, “I need to tell you something.”
He held her hand back and brought her to the sofa and sat down on the side of it. He dared not sit on the bed as usual as he was afraid that she would overreact and get further stimulated by the sight of the bed.
Song Yu gently sat down beside him, her gaze was tender but firm.
Qi Chengzhi reluctantly let go of her hand, he almost gave in feebly on telling her the truth. Just now when he was in the study room, he finished another box of cigarettes. He summoned enough courage after much struggle to come upstairs and face the consequences that may prove unbearable for the rest of his life, that is to face her condemnation and fury, maybe even hatred.
She would despise him to the extent that she would never want to see him again. He was going to lose her for the rest of his life.
She would be absent from his birthdays, anniversaries and festivals in the future. He would also never celebrate birthdays, anniversaries and festivals anymore. He would lose everything.
However, the saddest thing was that she would hate herself for falling in love with him ignorantly, for sharing a bed with him for so long, for marrying him and even became pregnant with his child.
She would undoubtedly regret and detest herself, but based on her personality, she would never have the heart to abort the pregnancy. Yet, the child would be given birth by her and become the biggest enemy of her life, it was unimaginable how much conflicts and anguish she had to bear in her mind.
When he thought of her future situation, he was heartbroken. He felt his heart was gripped tightly by something, it was so painful he could hardly breathe.
Qi Chengzhi took a deep breath, his breath was trembling.
He sniffed, then he said, “This matter…”
After uttering two words, he could no longer continue talking. Those two words sounded hoarse and dry, even his pronunciation had become inaccurate. He also choked a little as he almost started sobbing but the choke was quite discreet.
He hoped Song Yu did not notice it.
Qi Chengzhi cleared his throat, licked his lower lips and passed the folder to her. Then, he took another deep breath and continued talking, “Song…”
He licked his tongue again. “The truth of the Song Family’s bankruptcy is in the folder.”
Song Yu took a glance at him. Qi Chengzhi was feeling strange because it appeared like Song Yu already knew what was inside the folder and did not show any suspicion.
She took the folder and opened it. She looked at the documents that she had read before, they were more complete than the documents Jian Yi had given her.
After witnessing Song Yu’s calm reaction, Qi Chengzhi became more frightened. Song Yu remained calm until she put the documents on the table. From Qi Chengzhi’s perspective, this was the peacefulness that forbode a storm.
Qi Chengzhi’s heart was quivering violently, he held his breath involuntarily.
“I’m sorry.” He said with a hoarse voice, “I c- ”
“Sorry,” said Song Yu softly.
Qi Chengzhi gazed into her eyes blankly, his eyes had turned red and there appeared to be a suspicious puddle forming in each of his eyes as he clenched his fists tightly.
Unexpectedly, he heard Song Yu say, “I have known about this for a long time now, but I never told you about it because I didn’t want you to feel guilty and stressed. I could only pretend nothing had happened and I was unaware of it. I’m afraid that if I tell you about it, you would start to keep a vigilant eye on me. I hoped that this matter would become a secret. The reason why I dared not talk about it was the same as yours. Sorry for making you feel bad today.”
“You——” Qi Chengzhi was startled and his blank expression was quite cute. “You’ve known about this all along, and you don’t blame me?”
“Do you still remember the day when I spontaneously suggested to go for registration of marriage earlier than we planned?” said Song Yu as she pinned the hair that was falling from the above her ear back. She reached for his hands and held them.
His palms were large and good-looking, thin and skinny. The flesh on his fingers and the back of his hands were lacking, and the bones were apparent. She was unable to wrap her hands around it.
Qi Chengzhi nodded. He was relieved because Song Yu did not blame him. His mind was free of fear but left with questions.
Therefore, his attractive lips curved slightly upward. “I remember.”
Since he had been together with Song Yu, he had experienced countless happy and emotional moments. Every day, every minute, and every second spent with her was worth to be kept in his memories.
Until now, the most depressing moment he had ever experienced in his life was the moment he heard about the engagement between Song Yu and Qi Chengji.
