Chapter 144: Intense Boyfriend or Feudal Family Head?

The exit of Fuzhou’s Gaoqi Airport was packed like a beehive, as if it was a holiday. In the middle of the bustling crowd, however, a man and a woman, who looked like a couple and yet not, stood out prominently like cranes among chickens, attracting the attention of passersby.

The man was in his early twenties. Tall and straight, he had a majestic, cold face and an extraordinary bearing, and exuded an aloof and indifferent aura from head to toe.

But it was this cold, untouchable-looking man who was holding a petite, dainty little girl in his arms. The man’s iron arms were wrapped around her shoulders, and he looked like he was going to pull her into his arms with his protective stance. One could vaguely make out half of her fair, snow-like face and delicate features with red lips and white teeth.

If the two were a couple, then their dispositions and age didn’t match. The man was too sharp and mature, which made the girl in his arms look young and immature. She had the air of a student about her, which made the man look like her elder.

But to say that the two weren’t a couple, the man was handsome and tall while the woman was elegant and petite. It was really a match made in heaven, especially when the man protected the girl intimately in his arms. The girl didn’t even reach the man’s shoulders, and this was the rumored cutest height difference; it was like directly hugging someone’s chest, which made people blush and their imaginations run wild.

Keeping away from the packed crowd and leaving the airport, Chi Shuyan, who had been protected by Qi Zhenbai and hadn’t bumped into anyone, heaved a sigh of relief. She motioned for Qi Zhenbai to let go and said, “You can see me off here. I’ll take a taxi back myself. You better hurry and buy a plane ticket to go back. Going back and forth is tiring enough.”

“Since I’m already here, it’s better to take you home first.” Qi Zhenbai nodded and put down one arm while the other arm was still wrapped around Chi Shuyan’s shoulders, as if he had selectively forgotten about it, an enigmatic look on his cold face.

Chi Shuyan couldn’t change Qi Zhenbai’s mind. She knew how stubborn this man was and that he had to send her home. After walking for a while, she really couldn’t ignore the weight of the arm over her shoulders, especially with that large palm gripping her shoulder. This intimate posture made her extremely uncomfortable. She looked up at him and couldn’t help but remind him, “There aren’t many people here. Let go of me first.”

When Qi Zhenbai heard this, he raised his eyebrows and lowered his head, his expression and voice deep and filled with the charm of a mature man. He leaned close to Chi Shuyan’s ear and teased with a half-smile, “Why should I let go? If I lose you, where should I go to look for you?”

“It’s not like I’ll get lost. Besides, it’s too easy for people to get the wrong idea like this.”

“The wrong idea?” Qi Zhenbai’s frosty expression sank and his phoenix eyes turned cloudy. He corrected her seriously with a frown. “We’ve kissed and hugged, and you don’t want to take responsibility?”

Chi Shuyan didn’t know whether to be angry or laugh, but immediately shook her head.

“Then there’s no misunderstanding!” Qi Zhenbai’s imposing appearance made one shiver inexplicably, and he concluded with a strong tone that left no room for dispute.

Chi Shuyan: “…” She couldn’t figure out how she had come back from this trip with a boyfriend. Furthermore, this man was so thick-skinned. Also, were they really together, just like that? She felt it was very strange. Chi Shuyan sighed softly. It would be a little unreasonable if she continued to refuse. It wasn’t that she had no feelings for this man, but everything was happening too fast for her to get used to.

Qi Zhenbai sent Chi Shuyan to the door, then bent down and gave her a light peck on the forehead. “Your grades are good enough for any good school in the capital. I’ll wait for you in the capital!” He turned around and left.

Chi Shuyan was stunned. He was that sure that she would go to the capital? Looking at the tall back that was about to leave, she ignored the inexplicable longing and reluctance in her heart, and suddenly smiled as she said tauntingly, “How can you be sure that I’ll apply to a school in the capital?”

When Qi Zhenbai heard this, he stopped in his tracks and turned his head. His well-defined, handsome face was expressionless, and his phoenix eyes were gloomy with authority and warning as he gave Chi Shuyan a sidelong glance. That majestic look said: If you dare, feel free to try. That one glance gave Chi Shuyan the shivers. Why did she feel like she had another parent, and it was a feudal family head who meant what he said!
