Rebirth: Ghost Exorciser - Chapter 1704

1704 A Man’s Jealousy (2)

Chi Shuyan’s attention was all on Yuan Yuan, and she didn’t notice her man’s jealousy at all. She placed her phone on the table and pondered for a while before she replied, “Mm, it’s a call from a kid. There’s been some progress with my case.”

Qi Zhenbai didn’t care about the case progress at all. Instead, when he heard his wife say that some kid had called her, his cold face couldn’t help but turn black. At the thought that his wife was in such a good mood because of the call, Qi Zhenbai threw the towel he was using to wipe his hair on the couch as he suppressed the jealousy which surged in his heart. His tall figure was especially oppressive as he stood straight.

He wasn’t in a hurry. He twirled the Buddhist prayer beads on his left wrist out of habit and deliberately asked, “Hm? A kid? How young is he? What does he look like?”

Chi Shuyan came back to her senses at that moment and was very surprised to suddenly hear the man ask these questions. When did Qi Zhenbai become so curious?

But this man’s occasional curiosity was still quite cute. Chi Shuyan recalled Xia Mingcheng’s appearance and replied with an honest smile, “He’s quite a good-looking young man. He’s not that old, in his early twenties. In any case, he’s about my age.”

His wife answered so deliberately and praised the other party for being good-looking. What Qi Zhenbai found most difficult to accept was his wife’s last sentence, which inexplicably poked at his heart.

For a moment, he even wondered if he was too old. The sense of crisis and urgency in his heart surged again.

Qi Zhenbai used to think that it was good that he was seven or eight years older than his wife, but when he heard the last sentence, he felt even more upset. He didn’t show any emotion on his face. He strode to the couch opposite and sat down, nodding expressionlessly and indifferently. “That is indeed quite young!”

These few words were extremely perfunctory and cold, and there was no fluctuation in his tone.

Chi Shuyan took a few more looks at the man in front of her. For a moment, she wondered if he was angry. Under the light, however, his face was very normal and no different from his usual stoic expression. She thought back to her words just now. She hadn’t said anything that could make him angry.

Chi Shuyan relaxed. Seeing that the man’s hair was wet, she opened the drawer and handed the hairdryer to him to properly dry his hair. She then took a set of clothes out of the closet. “Husband, I’m going to take a shower!”

Chi Shuyan showered pretty quickly since she was a little sleepy tonight.

Chi Shuyan put on her pajamas and went out. A certain man was leaning against the headboard in bed and reading. The man was quite serious as he read. Under the light, his features were very distinct. When she got closer, she could see his thick, long and curly eyelashes, which were especially captivating.

Who knew if it was because her father and Qi Zhenbai had been talking about children recently, but for a moment, she felt that if she really had a child in the future, whether it was a daughter or a son, as long as they looked more like this man in front of her, she would never have to worry about the child’s looks in the future.

When this absurd thought flashed through her mind, Chi Shuyan immediately shook her head and threw it to the back of her mind. If she had never run into this man, she would never have let herself be tied down in marriage at this age, let alone have children.

After using the hairdryer for a bit, she put it away and then crawled into bed.

She was worried that this man would do something bad to her again.

After all, ever since the two of them made up, it could be said that they did it every day, except for when she was on her period. At first, she was worried that this man would develop a kidney deficiency, but even after vigorous activity night after night, there was no sign of it at all.

Instead, her whole body ached every morning. If it wasn’t for her good health and her spiritual energy, she really wouldn’t be able to take it.

Harboring this hope, Chi Shuyan gradually fell asleep. At some point, however, something like a huge rock suddenly pressed down on her, making her unable to breathe. Chi Shuyan immediately woke up. When she opened her eyes, the man was sucking fiercely on her lips. Her heart thumped and she hurriedly pushed him away as she wheedled, “Husband, I’m sleepy, I want to sleep! Can we do it tomorrow night?”

The man let go of her, still without much expression on his face. Chi Shuyan felt that something was wrong. After all, when the two of them fooled around before, as long as she acted cute, the man would be in a very good mood. Most of the time, he could still smile and talk to her patiently.

At that moment, the man suddenly pinched her chin. The surging jealousy in his chest finally couldn’t be suppressed. He pursed his thin lips and deliberately asked, “That kid is very young and good-looking?”

Chi Shuyan wondered what the hell was going on. Her brain couldn’t process who he was talking about at all. Or, after thinking for a while, she realized that this man was jealous of Xia Mingcheng. She stared blankly at the man on top of her.

Was this man jealous because of Xia Mingcheng?

Qi Zhenbai inexplicably felt embarrassed at his wife’s gaze, and didn’t give her a chance to explain. He lowered his head and kissed her fiercely again. He took off his wife’s clothes and dealt with her ferociously.

That night, not only was Chi Shuyan mentally and physically exhausted, her voice was also hoarse from crying out. Only then did the man let her go.
