“Let me have a look,” said Jin Qingyan as he reached his hands out to pinch her cheeks and leaned forward for a closer look. “Where are your eyebags? I can’t even see them.”
“You must be blind,” An Xiaoning sneered at the fact that he was lying through his teeth while she squeezed some toothpaste onto her toothbrush.
“You’re getting more and more brazen of late. Watch out, I’m going to punish you now,” he reached a hand out to tickle her underarm, and she quickly shunned him.
“You’re a man, yet you’re bullying a weak woman like me. Haven’t you got any shame at all?” An Xiaoning chastised, shoving the toothbrush into her mouth.
“You, a weak woman?”
“Mhmm.”
“No matter how hard I try, I just can’t find anything weak about you at all,” he scoffed.
“Like I said, you’re blind, how could you possibly tell that I’m weak?”
“…”
After washing up, they headed downstairs for breakfast.
Fan Shixin stood by the door, hesitating to say what he had on his mind. He resisted the urge and waited until they were finished with dinner before heading inside to break the news to them.
“Young Sir and Madam, Ms. Chi is acting all hysterical, demanding to see Young Sir.”
Jin Qingyan rose from his seat and wiped his mouth with his handkerchief, out of habit; after which he said calmly, “Let’s go have a look then.”
Seeing that An Xiaoning had remained in her seat, Fan Shixin asked in curiosity, “Young Madam, aren’t you going to go?”
“Let Young Sir handle it himself, I’ll give it a pass.”
“Got it.”
Fan Shixin followed closely behind Jin Qingyan as they made their way to the room Chi Rui’er had been locked up in.
Upon sight of their arrival, the guard on shift, Xiaobai, greeted them immediately, “Young Sir, Chief.”
“Open the door,” Fan Shixin instructed.
“Alright,” Xiaobai hurriedly unlocked the door with his key, allowing them to enter.
They were greeted with the sight of Chi Rui’er sitting on the bed. As soon as they entered, she gripped tightly onto the blanket, feeling a little ashamed to face Jin Qingyan.
However, she forced herself to speak up, for she did not want to spend another minute in this living hell, “Qingyan, I’m sorry.”
Jin Qingyan stared at her with a stern and sullen expression on his face, seemingly reminiscing the past vicariously through her.
He began to wonder when she had become so different from the Chi Rui’er he used to know.
Was she still the same woman he was in love with?
She no longer deserved him.
Noticing how he had been staring at her without uttering a single word, Chi Rui’er mustered up the courage to look him in the eye as she broke the silence, “Qingyan…”
“Rui’er, you may leave. I won’t take the house back since I’ve already given it to you. We’ll live our lives separately, from now on.”
The smile on Chi Rui’er’s face was short-lived as, after processing what she had heard, she soon began to realize what he had meant. “Will it be hard for me to see you again, in the future?” she asked forlornly.
