The Wealthy Psychic Lady: 99 Stolen Kisses

89: Protect My Wife

“Then, when I asked you at the cinema just now, why did you simply refuse to say? Or do you have a guilty conscience? Shi Shaochuan, if you dare to hook up with other women when we’re together, I won’t let it rest!”

“Alright, alright.” Shi Shaochuan pulled her into his arms. “I really don’t harbor any thoughts about other women, you’re enough for me. What’s wrong with you today, why are you so emotional? Yueyue, I promise you, I’ll never let you worry about something so trivial anymore, okay?”

Jin Qingyue still ended up responding with a “mmm.” “Why did you follow me to my house?”

“Isn’t it all because I care about you? I’m afraid you’ll get angry.” Shi Shaochuan heaved a sigh. “Your temperament is still that of a child’s. I’m here at your house now, but I didn’t buy anything at all. Should I still go in to meet your parents?”

“Since you’re already here, might as well meet them. If you don’t go in to meet them, they’ll have something to say about you. Either way, they’ll have something to say no matter what.” Jin Qingyue pushed the car door open and got off.

Shi Shaochuan got off as well.

Mr. and Mrs. Jin did not expect Shi Shaochuan’s arrival. Jin Qingyue smiled it off. “We had a tiff, so Shaochuan followed me here and we didn’t get any gift.”

“We don’t lack anything in our house at all,” Mrs. Jin replied simply.

“That’s good, we’ll go upstairs then.”

Petrified, Mrs. Jin sat upright and responded in a serious manner, “What for?”

“To get something, we’ll be down soon.” Jin Qingyue grabbed onto Shi Shaochuan and headed upstairs briskly.

Mrs. Jin threw the woollen sweater she was knitting onto the sofa and followed them upstairs directly.

Taking soft and gentle footsteps, she cautiously walked up the stairs and stood before Jin Qingyue’s doorway. As she could not hear any sound coming from inside, she went back downstairs again.

Just as she had sat down, Jin Qingyue and Shi Shaochuan emerged again holding hands, except Jin Qingyue now had another bag in her hands. The bag looked like it was fully filled up. Mrs. Jin asked, “What’s in that bag of yours?”

“Oh, my cosmetics.” Jin Qingyue grinned cheekily. “Mother, I’m putting these on the car, it’s more convenient for me to use.”

Mrs. Jin could see what was going on immediately. “Why? Qingyue, you don’t even want to come back to this house anymore, right?”

“Mother, I’m just putting these in the car. I didn’t say I wouldn’t come home, you’re overthinking. We’re going out now, okay?” She reached out to wave goodbye to her mother and left the house in smiles with Shi Shaochuan. It was like they had not fought at all just a while ago.

On that chilly night, the air outside was cool and quiet. Chi Rui’er stood before the window, gazing at the bright neon lights downstairs.

It was a winter night, yet there were still plenty of cars on the streets.

She had her phone on her hand, and the dial page was on the display screen.

She wanted to call Jin Qingyan, but she didn’t do it.

This process of hesitation had already lasted for more than ten minutes for her.

She could feel it very evidently, that Jin Qingyan’s attitude towards her was gradually becoming colder.

Before An Xiaoning came into the picture, he basically called her once every day and met her once in two days. It was their average frequency of contact.
