Two-Faced Husband, Have Some Decency! Chapter 66

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

When she tidied Qi Chengzhi's bedroom in the morning, he used the new blanket that she brought out last night. How strange was this!

Aunt Yang shook her head and carried Qi Chengzhi's blanket to his bedroom.

…

Before Song Yu came out, she took a deep breath. She was still too embarrassed to face Qi Chengzhi.

Song Yu was drunk last night and could not recall what she rambled on about. She could only remember that she poured her heart out but her memory about the details was blurry.

When she reached the restaurant, Qi Chengzhi had already finished his breakfast. He remained seated at the table while he read the newspapers.

Song Yu stood by the table uneasily and cleared her throat before saying in a timorous voice, “About… Young Master Cheng, sorry to trouble you last night.”

Qi Chengzhi shifted his eyes from the newspaper up towards her and glanced at her calmly without giving any reaction. He just said, “Have some breakfast, I'll send you to the company after you're done.”

“I can find a ride myself,” Song Yu sat down while she fixated on the sumptuous breakfast Aunt Yang prepared. It had been such a long time since she had such a sumptuous breakfast.

“Are you sure? Even if you're going to be late?” Qi Chengzhi raised his eyebrow. Song Yu felt that his expression was instinctively taunting.

Song Yu looked at her watch—there was only less than an hour left. Even if she called a taxi or waited for the public bus, including the waiting time and the traffic, it would take approximately one and a half hours to reach the company.

Song Yu gave up and gobbled down her breakfast. She was not in the mood to enjoy it even though it was a rare occasion for her to have such a sumptuous breakfast.

She inwardly blamed Qi Chengzhi for not letting Aunt Yang to wake her up earlier.

“Jian Yi called you last night, but you were so drunk that you knocked out completely, so I didn't wake you. After that, he called a few more times, but I was worried that it'll disturb your sleep, so I blocked his number. If you're reluctant about that, you can unblock him.” Qi Chengzhi's face was obstructed by the newspaper, hiding his facial expression behind it, where he continued speaking with an indifferent voice.

“Uhm,” Song Yu answered. It was good that he blocked him, she had nothing to say to Jian Yi.

She would not want to see his face or speak to him for the time being.

She was not sure about what would happen in the future, but she knew that it would be difficult for them to be friends.

Qi Chengzhi removed his gaze from the newspaper again and glimpsed at the cellphone beside Song Yu's hand. He placed it there before Song Yu arrived.

“You're not going to unblock him?” Qi Chengzhi looked at her impassively.

Song Yu blanked out for a moment before realizing what Qi Chengzhi meant. She said, “Just leave it as it is.”

Qi Chengzhi stopped talking and continued reading his papers.

Song Yu finished her meal shortly after. Qi Chengzhi stood up and exited without saying anything. He did not even notify Song Yu—who was caught unprepared—who then grabbed her handbag and phone before following him hurriedly.

At this time, it would be a miracle if they could arrive at the company on time. She had no time to go home and change her outfit.

Song Yu felt a little awkward while she sat in Qi Chengzhi's car.

He kissed her twice, but he acted as if nothing had happened.

He probably had given up knowing that she liked someone else?

She stole a glance at him. However, he had put his glasses back on—which concealed those deep, unfathomable eyes—but his perfect side view of his face remained stunningly gorgeous.

Her heart skipped a beat. Song Yu averted her gaze hastily and dared not linger. She stared at the time on her screen to distract herself.

When they were about to reach the company, Song Yu did some calculations. The timing was just right. She then pointed towards the entrance of the subway in front and said, “Let me down there, it's very close to the company. I can just walk over.”

“…” Qi Chengzhi glanced at her, his unfathomable gaze made Song Yu lose her ground.

Song Yu explained, “There'll be so many people passing by the company's entrance, rumors will start if they see us.”

“…” Qi Chengzhi drove by the subway station calmly with no intention of slowing down.

Finally, the car came to a stop at the entrance of the company. Luckily the people entering the building were from other companies, and she did not notice anyone from their company.

Song Yu was too absorbed in observing the entrance's situation that all of a sudden, she felt a gush of hot air blowing at her auricle and neck, blended with Qi Chengzhi's breath.

Song Yu turned her head instantly. She was so shocked that she held her breath in.

Qi Chengzhi's face was only a few inches away from her. When she turned around just now, his lips almost brushed with her cheeks and the corner of her lips.

He was breathing warm breath onto her face. Song Yu's ear was burning and her whole face flushed red.

They were in such proximity that she saw his eyes through the glasses for the first time.

There was a hint of desire in his eyes, it was not all in her mind.

It was as if she was captured by his brooding eyes and struggled to break free. She was completely absorbed by his gaze after having direct eye contact.

Both of their breaths intertwined. Song Yu's heart was thumping crazily, “Cheng… Young Master Cheng…”

“Release the safety seatbelt,” Qi Chengzhi said indifferently. The corner of his mouth remained uncurved, in contrast to the desire beneath those eyes.

This time, Song Yu's gaze landed subconsciously on his slightly opened lips. Those thin lips looked stern, but she knew how soft it felt.

She thought about how it felt when he kissed her while she looked at his lips. Her lips started to feel dry and burning. She unconsciously swallowed her saliva, not realizing that she was staring directly at his lips with such a daring gaze.

The corner of Qi Chengzhi's lips curved slightly upwards. He released the safety seat belt from the side of Song Yu's thighs. When his hand went around Song Yu to reach the door, his knuckles grazed gently across her abdomen.

Song Yu's abdomen suddenly contracted until it was up against the stomach wall. She dared not look at Qi Chengzhi. Her face flushed red and her ears were burning, but her head remained lowered.

“Aren't you alighting?” His voice emerged from the side by the time she heard him.

Song Yu lifted her head and found that Qi Chengzhi had sat up straight. His hands were on the steering wheel as if nothing had happened.

She opened the car door in a panic and escaped.

She walked towards the company's entrance with her back facing Qi Chengzhi. She unknowingly placed her hands on the abdomen, the place that his knuckles grazed across was still warm.

Qi Chengzhi laughed and left when he saw the person who got off from the Buick Regal in front of him.

…

Song Yu's arm was grasped forcefully from behind. She turned around and saw Jian Yi's exhausted and anger-fuelled face.

“You didn't come home all night! Where have you been?!” Jian Yi bombarded her with questions even before Song Yu could open her mouth, “Why did you alight from Qi Chengzhi's car just now? I called you this morning, but a man picked up. Was it him? You weren't home last night because you were with him? You went to his house?”

Song Yu frowned and shook his hand off, “Jian Yi, who are you to question me? You're acting like my boyfriend and asking me all these questions, don't you feel absurd? You should just focus your thoughts on your girlfriend.”

“I'm worried about you! I'm afraid that you'll be taken advantage of.” Jian Yi blocked her and said, “Song Song, I know that you're angry at me. Give me a chance to explain. Let's be frank and talk it out. However, you should stay away from Qi Chengzhi. That guy is unreliable, not like you're unaware of the situation of his family. You'll definitely be on the losing ground.”

“No matter who I'm with, at least they're single and not involved with other women.” Song Yu looked at Jian Yi coldly before continuing, “You've been with Qi Chengyue for two years but you still approached and tried to date me. You're telling me that you're jealous? Aren't you embarrassed? I heard what you said yesterday. How dare you stand in front of my face to question my life and warn me about who should I be with?”

“Jian Yi, I value my dignity even if you don't. I wouldn't want to be bothered by your girlfriend anymore, accusing me to be the third party. This is the company's entrance, stop harassing me. We shouldn't meet anymore in the future unless it's necessary,” Song Yu said coldly. “Please move aside, I'm going to work.”

The surrounding crowd threw a few glances over their direction. Jian Yi could only unwillingly give way and watch as Song Yu entered the company.

He clenched his fist as he thought about what he saw from the rearview mirror moments ago, where it seemed that Qi Chengzhi had kissed her.

When he witnessed that, he was so furious that his eyes almost exploded.

However, due to Qi Chengzhi and Qi Chengyue's relationship, he could only endure and not retrieve Song Yu from Qi Chengzhi's car.

…

When Song Yu entered the elevator, there were other employees from other companies who witnessed what happened at the entrance.

Song Yu tolerated those gazes that made her uneasy. She kept her head lowered, but her whole body was shaking.

When she reached her floor, she felt like she had cheated death.

She walked into the design department and expected Ruan Danchen to mock her, ask her why was she wearing the same clothes, and where she spent the night yesterday. However, contrary to her expectations, she only heard piercing screams and rowdy squabbles.

“You shameless thing! Seducing men at such a young age! What else does Zhao Rongcheng own except for money? With his short height and ugly looks, you crawled into his bed just for the sake of his money right? Just because I'm not in the country, you became much more careless and daring!”

Song Yu walked in surprisedly. She saw a forty-year-old, middle-aged woman grabbing Wang Liwei's hair while she scolded and hit her.

Wang Liwei dared not fight back, physically or verbally. She just howled and wept, “Stop! Stop hitting me! Director Zhao, save me!”

There were two men in black suits standing beside her, their identity unknown. They looked like the bodyguards of the middle-aged woman. They just oversaw the whole thing from aside. This could also be the reason Wang Liwei dared not fight back.

After a while, Song Yu recognized that this woman was Director Zhao's wife. She stayed in New Zealand throughout the year to accompany her daughter to study, which resulted in Director Zhao and Wang Liwei behaving so unscrupulously in the company.

Song Yu sneaked to Ruan Danchen's side. Ruan Danchen was completely absorbed by the drama happening in front of her.

“What happened?” Song Yu whispered.

“Rumours circling Wang Liwei and Director Zhao reached his wife. She also heard about how Director Zhao wronged you for the sake of Wang Liwei and almost cost the company to lose the huge business deal with Qilin. She rushed back from New Zealand and barged in the first thing in the morning. Without saying anything, she seized Wang Liwei by her hair and dragged her out and started scolding her.”

“Did you see the two bulky guys over there? They're the bodyguards that Director Zhao's wife brought along. Wang Liwei dare not fight back because once she does, they'll step in,” Ruan Danchen explained quietly.

“Xinqi, what happened? What are you doing?” Director Zhao rushed over when he heard about it. When he saw the chaos, he quickly held back Zhang Xinqi to prevent her from attacking any further.

“What are you doing, don't tell me that you don't know what's happening?” Zhang Xinqi came to a halt, but continued on to order the bodyguards, “Attack!”

The two bodyguards remained expressionless. They did not mind hitting a woman and proceeded to punch and kick Wang Liwei who was lying on the floor with her whole body curled up.

Song Yu pitied Wang Liwei as she watched from the side. However, it was just plain sympathy, she did not come forward to help.

“Director Zhao! Save me! Please save me! Stop hitting! Save me, Director Zhao!” Wang Liwei pleaded when she was in a daze after all the beating. She heard Director Zhao's voice and reached out to grab his calf.

Zhang Xinqi glared at him but Director Zhao avoided her gaze and backed away silently.

He had no choice because Zhang Xinqi was a major shareholder of the company. Most of the properties they owned were also under her name. Director Zhao had everything he has because of his wife.

“There's… there's blood!” some guy shouted.

There was a thick pool of blood below Wang Liwei's body.

Zhang Xinqi's expression became more vicious, “Great, you're even pregnant with the little bastard! Luckily I discovered it earlier. Did you think that you'll be safe after you give birth? Throw her out, she's fired at this instant!”

The two bodyguards lifted Wang Liwei by the two ends of her body.

Wang Liwei's high heels fell off long ago. She was barefooted and covered in an astonishing amount of blood. Her hair was stuck onto her face by her tears, obscuring her looks.

Song Yu let out a sigh and secretly dialed 120.

It looked as if Zhang Xinqi released her anger. She glared at Director Zhao and ordered, “Follow me!”

Both of them left in tandem after she finished.

“Xinqi, I…” Director Zhao was concocting an explanation in the office.

“What about you! If it was not for Cheng Dongge's call, I wouldn't know that you've turned the company upside down!” Zhang Xinqi said shrewdly, “Zhao Rongcheng, do you still want to be with me. If you don't, we can always get a divorce. There're so many little girls waiting for you out there!”

“Xinqi, don't… no… I was just a bit confused, I…”

“Zhao Rongcheng, Cheng Dongge called me personally. Do you know what that means?” Zhang Xinqi said.

Zhang Xinqi broke out when she saw Director Zhao still deep in thought, “Idiot! Cheng Dongge is the special assistant of Qi Chengzhi. He represents Qi Chengzhi! Do you think Qi Chengzhi will be interested in such a small asset like Chengshi? The call from Cheng Dongge was all about Song Yu. Think carefully for my sake! Are you planning to offend Song Yu and Qi Chengzhi for a slut?”

Director Zhao was shaken when he connected the past events together.

Director Zhao's face turned ashen and showed a fearful expression.

…

Song Yu did not know how Director Zhao explained to Zhang Xinqi, but when she came out of the office, she looked as if she would not be taking any action on him even though she still had a long face.

She said that she would be taking control of the company personally from then onwards.

After that, she gathered all of the employees of the company and warned the younger females verbally about self-love and respect. Otherwise, they would end up like Wang Liwei.

Then, she comforted Song Yu and promised that there would not be any more injustice. She told Song Yu to go all in as she had a bright future ahead.

Song Yu was a little taken aback about her sudden change in attitude.

Everyone was still discussing about this when they went out to eat during lunch break.

Song Yu and Ruan Danchen were chatting and laughing away when they walked out of the company. When she saw Jian Yi waiting at the entrance, Song Yu's expression turned cold.

Ruan Danchen looked at Jian Yi and turned around to look at Song Yu. She had no idea what had happened between them since Song Yu rarely showed such a cold expression.

Jian Yi walked up hurriedly. He lifted his hand and wanted to grab Song Yu's arm, but he dropped it halfway.

“Song Yu, let's talk! You said that you don't want to make a scene at the entrance this morning. Let's find a place for lunch and talk it out slowly, can we?” Jian Yi was almost begging.

Ruan Danchen could feel the awkwardness among them. She looked at them and told Song Yu, “No matter what it is, it's better to clear the air as soon as possible. I'll make a move first.”

Song Yu let out a sigh and followed Jian Yi to a restaurant nearby. Song Yu asked for a private dining room in case things get heated.

Song Yu's mood was entirely different from the previous time when they sat down face to face.

“What else do you want to say to me?” Song Yu looked at Jian Yi. It was as if his lies were a dream. She looked at his face and wondered how did he manage to do those things?

“I didn't mean to hide it from you. I… I really liked you since we were young. However, you were unreachable then. You were the daughter of the Song family, I am not worthy enough. When you went bankrupt later on, I wanted to help you. I thought that I finally got the chance to be with you as an equal.”

“Nonetheless, I had nothing at that time. I'm incapable of helping you, nor could I give you anything. I could only work harder to climb upwards. I relied on you in the past, but I wanted to let you depend on me in the future,” Jian Yi said slowly. He did not smoke, but he could not find another way to release the feeling of desolation in his heart.

“I don't have feelings for Qi Chengyue. I just wanted to use her to empower myself in order to help you.”

Song Yu pressed her lips together while she listened to him. She opened her mouth and said coldly, “When did I say that I needed your help? I'll tell you now directly, I don't need your help. Are you going to break up with Qi Chengyue?”

Jian Yi opened his mouth but remained silent.

Song Yu snickered, “You can't resist the perks that she's able to give you. Jian Yi, stop finding excuses for your own filthiness. The reason you wanted to help me was most probably to fulfill your inflated male ego. Since you chose to be with her, there's nothing further to say about us.”

“To say that there's anger, I'll admit that I have. To say that I hate you, that's out of the question,” Song Yu stood up. She lost her appetite even though she was facing a table of steaming hot dishes. “You don't have to explain anything to me again. I don't think it's necessary. Maybe you do like me, but it doesn't triumph the power and materialism that you benefited by being with Qi Chengyue.”

“Since that's the case, I don't know why you insisted on explaining to me. Jian Yi, let's stop here. If there's a need for us to meet in the future, I hope that it stays professional. There'll be no private meetings. It wouldn't be nice if your girlfriend knows about it. I don't want to taint my reputation as a mistress.”

Song Yu retrieved her purse from the bag and took out two hundred dollars. She threw it on the table, “Let's split the bill for this meal.”

She turned around and walked towards the exit right after she said that.

“Song Yu!” Jian Yi chased after her hastily and grabbed her arm from behind, “I really like you, truly!”

Song Yu stopped and took a deep breath before turning around slowly.
