Chapter 287: Ending 14: Song Yu Looked At The rcedes-Benz Curiously and Felt That it Seed Quite Familiar
Guan Liya was sobbing uncontrollably when Qi Chengyue and Cheng Dongge exchanged vows. She sincerely hoped that Qi Chengyue would be happy this ti.
Grandmother Qi was also holding her handkerchief to wipe away her tears.
It could be due to the hormonal changes during pregnancy, but Song Yu beca very emotional and easily touched by things that were happening around her. When her eyes turned red, an elegant, fair and well-structured hand appeared right in front of her eyes. The slender fingers were holding a handkerchief.
Without raising her head, Song Yu could recognize Qi Chengzhi’s hand and handkerchief. She took the handkerchief from him and wiped her tears carefully while he grabbed her other hand.
Song Yu sniffed and looked at this charming, reserved hand. “Do you think this is what others felt when they looked from down here during our wedding?” she asked with a soft voice.
Qi Chengzhi squeezed her hand gently and replied with a llow tone, “I don’t know about others, but I for one was touched when I stood in front of you and placed the ring on your finger.”
Song Yu wiped her tears again. She then looked at Qi Chengyue and Cheng Dongge with teary eyes and said, “I feel like this is Chengyue’s first marriage.”
Qi Chengzhi smiled warmly and looked across the stage without saying a word.
...
...
After the wedding ceremony was over, Mu Sisi and Gao Jingqiu walked side by side with the other guests while they exited Dynasty. She did not notice a man wearing a black T-shirt and long pants walked past. He had a thick slanted fringe in front, his cheeks and chin dotted with inflad acne.
The man browsed through the crowd and fixated on Mu Sisi.
Before anyone noticed him, he hid behind a corner. He saw Mu Sisi walked toward Mu Huaisheng while the Mu family entered the car after bidding farewell with the Gao family.
He noticed that Mu Sisi went inside a Bently. It was a luxurious car and it seed like she was from a wealthy family. Dynasty was also a famous hotel in B City—it would be a luxury even for the rich to dine there.
He went to find out and knew that one of the noble families was holding a wedding at Dynasty. Mu Sisi must be a guest. The family that held the wedding booked the entire Dynasty today—they must be filthy rich in order to do that. When he thought of it, he had to take a few deep breaths to cool down.
The man snickered when he thought about Mu Sisi associated with the rich people and attending such a grand wedding. He noted down the Bently’s registration number in case he forgot.
...
...
Qi Chengyue and Cheng Dongge had agreed to have their honeymoon together after Song Yu gave birth so they were not in a rush. One week later, they went back to Li City and held another wedding.
This ti, Grandfather Qi and Grandmother Qi did not travel there due to their old age. They made Qi Zhongxun and Guan Liya as the representatives. Song Yu was also inconvenient to travel, so Qi Chengzhi stayed behind at B City. Apart from them, all the others including Qi Zhongliang and Xia Wenna went down to Li City.
When November arrived, Song Yu handed in her resignation letter to Director Zhao accordingly to her initial plan.
Director Zhao pinched the letter that Song Yu handed to him. With trembling hands, he looked at Song Yu who was sitting across him and asked, “Song Yu, why the sudden resignation? Are you not happy to work in this company?”
“Director Zhao, please don’t misunderstand my intentions. I’ve caused you a lot of trouble from the start. I seldom co to the company since I got pregnant. With my condition now, I’m not able to get projects. I’m hogging a position in the company for no reason, and I co and go as I please. This would naturally make the others feel unfair,” Song Yu said slowly. She knew that Director Zhao would not let her without a fight.
Even though she was not doing much work for the company, her status as Qi Chengzhi’s wife was sufficient for her to be the god of wealth in the company. Qilin’s business, no matter how insignificant or mundane it was, Director Zhao would be delighted to have Chengshi do it. Since she got pregnant, she had stopped going out to deal with business, but after giving birth, she could just use her identity in the future. People would surely treat her with so much respect on behalf of Qi Chengzhi’s sake, not to ntion handing their contracts to her on a silver platter.
If it were not for all of these benefits, Director Zhao would not be so protective over her.
Director Zhao’s expression darkened and imdiately asked, “Who started spreading rumors? Is it Yang Yunshu?”
“Humph!” Director Zhao humphed angrily and stood up as if he was going to find faults with Yang Yunshu. “Hasn’t she learned her lesson?”
“Director Zhao, it’s none of her business. No one’s gossiping about ,” Song Yu said calmly and let Director Zhao have a seat. “I felt that it’s not right for to get paid without doing any work for the company. Even if I return to the office soon, I leave whenever I need to. You can’t assign important tasks to as well...”
“Song Yu, I’ve explained to you before. Not that I don’t want to, it’s just that this isn’t the right ti to hand them to you. You’re about to deliver, and I’m afraid that giving you important jobs will make you stay overti and anger Director Qi. I...” Director Zhao explained hurriedly as if he was afraid Song Yu would be displeased and in turn, caused Qi Chengzhi to be unhappy with him.
Song Yu did not expect to deepen Director Zhao’s misunderstanding. She waved helplessly. “Director Zhao, you misunderstood again. I’m not here to complain, just stating the facts here. Also, even if you assign a case to design, I’ll reject the offer as well. I’m not fit for it at the ti.”
“Then, you...” Director Zhao was desperate. He could not think of another reason why Song Yu had to resign. What was so bad about working here? He gave her sufficient freedom and almost to the point where she received pay doing nothing.
Even so, he was very willing to do it.
If Song Yu stayed, Qilin would always provide him with projects. Song Yu’s pay was insignificant in comparison to the money he could earn through those projects.
Director Zhao had been enjoying the benefits of this aspect.
“I was just giving one of the examples. Also, I plan to stay ho to focus on taking care of my child after giving birth,” Song Yu added.
Director Zhao had nothing to say when Song Yu ntioned focusing on her child. He gave a thought and moved forward to the office desk and said, “So you’re going to give up your career just like that? In the design line, it’s rather difficult to stay if you don’t have the passion and interest in your job. Also, I can see that you really like your job after working for so long in Chengshi. You’d earned your fa after the Qilin’s hotel design. It’s a waste of talent if you just give up and be a full-ti housewife.”
Song Yu smiled and said, “To , family cos first. Even if I quit, I may continue designing at ho if there’s an opportunity in the future.”
Director Zhao imdiately caught on and said, “It’s the sa if you stay in Chengshi! You don’t have to co to the office, you can just design from ho.”
“That’s not a good idea—I don’t feel good doing that. It’s better to have the freedom.” Song Yu laughed. She knew that Director Zhao would not let her go so easily and continued, “I’ve also discussed with Chengzhi this morning before I ca to work. He’s very supportive of my resignation. If I want to continue with my work, he said that I can participate in Qilin’s design departnt. I think there’ll be more room for my career developnt there.”
Director Zhao had no more reason to stop Song Yu from leaving after hearing what she had said.
How could Chengshi compare with Qilin?
Furthermore, she would be working under her husband. Under Qi Chengzhi’s protection, she would not face too many obstacles. Such a small na like Chengshi had no value to Song Yu.
Director Zhao could only sigh. “Okay, since you’ve already decided, I won’t force you to stay. However, Chengshi will always welco you. If you’re too bored at ho, you can co back anyti. Even though with Director Qi, you don’t really need much, but if you need any help or favors from in the future, just let know. If I’ve wronged you in the past. Please forgive and don’t take it too personally.”
Song Yu smiled gently. “What are you talking about? I should be thankful to you, Director Zhao. I believe that in order for to work so comfortably, I must’ve caused many troubles to the company’s human resources.”
“Hehe.” Director Zhao laughed but he did not deny it. Of course he would want Song Yu to rember his good deeds.
“Director Zhao, since I’m the one who resigned, I know that I should give 30-day notice so that the company can find soone to replace , so...” Song Yu laughed slightly.
“No need, no need,” Director Zhao understood what Song Yu ant. Actually, there was no important task under Song Yu, thus there was no need extra ti to hand over. Since Song Yu had decided to quit, there was no reason for him to drag and make this ugly. He replied, “At your convenience. You can leave right away if you want. You just need to organize the remaining task and pass it to Xiao Ruan, there’s nothing much to hand over.”
Song Yu answered with satisfaction and returned to the office. She arranged the files in her place and passed them to Ruan Danchen.
Ruan Danchen was very sad when she heard the news that Song Yu was going to resign and was packing up. She felt rather down and her eyes turned red just by thinking of it.
“Even though I already knew this was going to happen sooner or later, I’ll be all alone once you leave. My heart feels empty, it hurts so bad.” Ruan Danchen and Song Yu were in the lounge by themselves. She said with a muffled voice, “You haven’t co to work for two months, but I knew that you’re on leave and that you’re going to co back one day, which gave hope. Now you’re going to be gone after you resign. When I think about not having soone to talk to when I turn around during work, that resolves any motivation I have left.”
“Why are you saying as if we’re not going to see each other again?” Song Yu said in amusent. “I won’t be going to work, but I have free ti. We can co out and et any ti we want. You can rant to whatever happened in the company at our gatherings, you can even co to find at Viewpark Residence.”
They might even beco sisters-in-law in the future. Why worry about not eting each other?
Song Yu did not say that because she was afraid that Ruan Danchen would feel embarrassed since she had never ntioned it herself.
Ruan Danchen nodded dejectedly. This was their only choice.
“I’m almost done packing up. Let’s have lunch together, I won’t be here after that,” Song Yu said. “If you’re bored during the weekends, you can spend ti with .”
Ruan Danchen recollected herself and smiled before accompanying Song Yu out of the lounge.
Song Yu called Qi Chengzhi and told him she would not be having lunch with him.
Qi Chengzhi heard that Song Yu was having lunch with Ruan Danchen, he arched his brows and said, “You’re going to disappoint two n.”
Song Yu stunned for a mont before understanding what Qi Chengzhi ant. She stole a glance at Ruan Danchen who was sitting on her table. She dared not let her hear and lowered her voice to reply, “You find Chenglin to have lunch then.”
Song Yu could hear Qi Chengzhi’s gentle chuckle through the phone. “I’ll let Chang Lai pick you guys.”
“Uhm...” Song Yu nodded. “Are you busy today?”
“Not at all, I planned to pick you up myself,” Qi Chengzhi said in a clear voice. “You handed your resignation?”
“It’s done. Director Zhao tried to ask to stay, but he didn’t succeed. I’m officially leaving after today,” Song Yu answered calmly.
After hanging up, Song Yu and Ruan Danchen headed for lunch. They used Qi Chengzhi’s room without Manager Qian asking which room they wanted to dine in.
...
...
They left Dynasty after finishing eating. Qi Chengzhi ca down from a rcedes-Benz. From afar, he saw Song Yu and Ruan Danchen on the staircase of Dynasty. He then walked towards them with long strides.
Song Yu sincerely felt that Qi Chengzhi’s appearance every ti would make her heart flutter, especially when he appeared in front of her without telling her beforehand. The mont when he walked towards her, her heart would be racing exceptionally fast.
“Why are you here?” Qi Chengzhi stood on the stairs one step lower than her, but he was still half a head taller. Song Yu felt a sense of warmth when she saw him, her voice also turned gentler.
“I estimate that you’re almost done with lunch, so I’m here to fetch you back to the office.” Qi Chengzhi sized her up and made sure she was fine before greeting Ruan Danchen. He then said to Song Yu, “Let’s go.”
Qi Chengzhi held Song Yu’s hand without showing any intentions of entertaining Ruan Danchen. Song Yu yanked him and said, “Let’s send Danchen back first.”
Qi Chengzhi glanced at Ruan Danchen with an ambiguous smile before telling Song Yu, “You don’t have to worry, she has her own ride.”
Song Yu looked at the rcedes-Benz curiously and felt that it seed rather familiar.
Before she could give a clearer look, Qi Chengzhi already brought her into the car and left.
“Aren’t you busy this afternoon?” Song Yu asked.
“Busy. There’s a eting in the afternoon.” Qi Chengzhi took her hand habitually and placed it on his lap.
Driving did not feel much of a chore with her around.
“Then you send straight back ho so that I don’t have to stay in the office and bother you working,” Song Yu insisted. Qi Chengzhi would surely decline all the work on hand whenever she was in the office.
“I’m quite busy, there’s no ti to detour,” Qi Chengzhi squeezed her hand gently as he answered her.
“You should just let Chang Lai send back then. How are you going to work with in your office?” Song Yu felt that this man was rather clingy.
When the traffic lights turned red, Qi Chengzhi braked slowly and turned towards her. His deep-set eyes shot a passionate glance while his slender fingers gently scratched her palm, making Song Yu’s face burn and left tingling sensations on her scalp.
“What are you doing?” Song Yu asked with her face flushed. Not only her hand, she felt like her whole body was tingling.
“What are you thinking of doing if your presence in the office would stop from working?” Qi Chengzhi asked in return while he continued scratching her palm, his voice llow and tender.
Song Yu’s face to her scalp burned up instantly, “What are you talking about! When I’m in the office, you’d turn down all the work because you’re afraid that you would disturb my rest. I was referring to this!”
Qi Chengzhi chuckled lightly, the corner of his mouth curved into a coy smile. He said with an ambiguous smile, “What did I say? I didn’t say anything. I was just asking what are you planning to do. I wasn’t referring to anything, what do you think I was referring to?”
“...” Song Yu was dumbfounded.
“How co you’ve beco so indecent now...” Qi Chengzhi looked at her with a righteous gaze before stepping on the accelerator when the light turned green.
Song Yu looked at him speechless. Who was the indecent one?
She was about to say why was he becoming so shaless—he misled her on purpose. How could he comnt that she was having indecent thoughts in such a righteous tone?
This man had a totally different persona when he presented himself in public compared to when he was in private.
She even thought that he was a mature, reserved man when she saw him on the cover of the magazine. Now she knew it was all a lie.
Monts later, Qi Chengzhi said suddenly while driving, “You should be more careful since you’re almost delivering.”
“Qi Chengzhi!” Song Yu could not help and yell shyly.
Qi Chengzhi also could not resist curving his lips and glanced at her smilingly. A while later, he said seriously, “I think I’d be camping in the eting room the whole afternoon. You won’t bother working even if you’re resting in the office.”
Song Yu blushed and lowered her head to see his thumb. She could not resist and used her fingers to rub his hand.
After a mont, she sheepishly replied, “It’s not that nice if I stayed in your office during working hours, right? Which wife will keep disturbing her husband while they work?”
“It’s fine, I’m used to it,” Qi CHengzhi squeezed her hand and said calmly. When he heard Song Yu threw the words husband and wife, he was delighted and said, “Plus, you’re not bothering at all.”
Song Yu did not say anything further even though inside her heart, she knew that this would not be a good influence. Furthermore, she knew that the others must be thinking that she was controlling Qi Chengzhi so strictly, fearing that he would be snatched by other people.
Song Yu could not resist looking at Qi Chengzhi. It was him who wished that she would follow him twenty-four hours, not the other way around. In fact, she was not worried that he would be snatched away from her. She placed a lot of trust in him.
When she thought about this, Song Yu added so pressure and held his hand tighter. If other won had a husband as excellent as Qi Chengzhi, they would be worrying all day. Song Yu was extrely grateful to et a man like Qi Chengzhi. Even though he was an extraordinary man, she never had to worry about him doing anything to hurt her. He made sure that she would feel safe and secure every day.
Even when her body went out of shape after getting pregnant, she was not worried that Qi Chengzhi would abandon her.
Even if she was not so confident initially, she felt secure when he used his actions and showed her that he was still deeply infatuated with her.
She could not fathom even when she felt disgusted by her own body, she still felt beautiful in Qi Chengzhi’s eyes whenever he looked at her.
Song Yu fell deep into her thoughts. Unknowingly, they had reached Qilin.
“What are you thinking about?” Qi Chengzhi’s llow voice rang beside Song Yu’s ears and pulled her back into reality.
When Song Yu regained her senses, she saw Qi Chengzhi closed in. His slender fingers pressed on the seatbelt and unclasped it with a ‘click’. When she raised her head again, her eyes t with Qi Chengzhi’s glowing face.
