Chapter 221: A Patient From The Hospital Dropped It
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“It’s really okay.” Song Chuyi sniffed and laughed softly. “Why did I smell something sour?”
Changqing glared at him and rolled down from on top of him with the covers. His naked body was exposed all of a sudden.
He looked at her and she didn’t come back after almost a minute. He knew she was really mad.
He went up to her and touched her delicate shoulder. Changqing pushed his hand aside coldly. “The more you don’t discuss it, the more it shows that you’re guilty.”
Song Chuyi sighed inside. No matter how he said it, it would be wrong.
If he admitted that the necklace was his ex-girlfriend’s, that would be indirectly admitting to the fact that he had met up with his ex-girlfriend recently. His ex-girlfriend had returned the necklace to him and he picked it up. It would also mean that his ex-girlfriend had been wearing the necklace he gave her. No matter what he said, it would turn out unpleasant.
“That necklace… a patient from the hospital dropped it,” he said.
“Really?” Changqing finally turned over a little.
He reached his long arms out and pulled her back into his embrace. “Why else would I put an old necklace in my pocket for no reason? If I had other thoughts, I would’ve brought it with me every day. If you don’t believe me, go check my pocket. Do I have it with me today?”
Changqing felt that he seemed to make some sense.
No matter what, it seemed that it shouldn’t be an old necklace.
“It’s already so late and you’re still in the mood to let your thoughts run wild. Looks like you’re not tired at all.” Song Chuyi breathed hoarsely and kissed her lips, saying ambiguously, “As your husband, I have no choice but to practice what I preach and do it once more with you.”
Before Changqing could even react, a soft moan escaped from her throat.
She had incessant grievances. She regretted it. If she had known earlier, she wouldn’t have asked so much.
Late at night, the result of over-indulgence in sex is the lack of energy in both parties.
Song Chuyi went to work at eight.
Changqing was still sound asleep, having no idea that the headlines for the current news scandal involved Ruan Yang.
At ten, Li Shaobin rolled over in the bed in his private villa and finally woke up mainly from hunger.
He rubbed his eyes and after washing up, he went downstairs. The Little Nanny had already prepared his breakfast.
Just as he picked up his chopsticks, Hu Zhi rushed in hurriedly from outside with a piece of newspaper in his hands. “Boss, boss, you’re in the headlines today.”
Li Shaobin was shocked and seemed to have recalled something. He picked it up and took a look. Mm, very satisfied.
Those reporters last night were still quite impressive. They happened to capture the moment when he had his arms around Ruan Yang’s shoulders and even made his back look quite good. The reporter had quite some literary talent too, describing him with words like “tall figure,””perfect hips and bottom,” and “fashionable.”
The more he looked at it, the more satisfied he was and his appetite for breakfast improved.
He just didn’t believe that Xin Ziao, that scoundrel, wouldn’t see this news.
Piss him off.
HAHA.
“Boss, don’t tell me you instructed the reporters about this?” Hu Zhi asked hesitantly.
“Not really. I just didn’t stop it.” Li Shaobin threw the newspaper aside. He lowered his head and suddenly looked at his flowery shirt. He turned his face over to look at Hu Zhi and said, “The malls have opened, right? Get me 10 sets of black shirts or short-sleeves in my size. Buy white pants too, of different designs. They must look nice. Otherwise, people will think that I’m wearing the same set of clothes every day.”
“Why must they all be black?” The corners of Hu Zhi’s lips twitched. Having to follow such a boss was a huge headache. In the past, it was the never-changing flowery shirts, and now that it had finally changed, it was all black now. He had so many requests too. Did Li Shaobin want him to go through all the men’s boutiques in Northern City? “Actually, other colors would do too? Black absorbs heat.”
“But how would I know what colors I look good in?” Li Shaobin rolled his eyes. “You brats just say I look good no matter what I wear. Now I don’t even know what I look good in any more.”
“Boss, I think that with your looks, white or sky blue would definitely look good,” Hu Zhi said.
“You’re bluffing. Just take a look at your style of dress—so ugly. I don’t trust your taste. Forget it, forget it, black will do. It doesn’t matter anyway. Men always dress simply and comfortably. There’s no need to pay so much attention to it,” Li Shaobin said, feeling slightly annoyed. “Right, do you think that my hair is… a little bad?”
“Er… I’m not very good when it comes to aesthetics. You shouldn’t ask me for my opinion.” Hu Zhi lowered his head obediently.
Li Shaobin snorted and decided that he would just give Changqing a call later on.
After Hu Zhi left, he finished his breakfast and the Little Nanny who was cleaning upstairs came down with his phone. “Young Master, your phone’s been ringing non-stop upstairs.”
Li Shaobin accepted it and took a look. It was an unknown number. He picked up the call and the gentle tone of a female came through. “Hi, is this Mister Li?”
“Mm…”
“Ruan Yang from last night.”
Li Shaobin raised his chest guiltily. Could she be calling about this morning’s scandal?
“It’s like this. I want to trouble you to take a look at the backseat of your car to see if you can find a diamond earring.” Ruan Yang’s Mandarin was very good. Through the phone’s speaker, her voice seemed to be a different kind of soft compared to her usual speaking voice.
Li Shaobin said with a smile, “With just Miss Ruan’s wealth, earning a few thousand with just a single commercial, why would you worry about a little earring?”
“No, this earring was provided by a brand that my team worked with recently. Our brand and theirs signed a contract for me to wear this pair of earrings during my film promotions,” Ruan Yang said helplessly, “After all, this pair of earrings would cost a few tens of thousands. It would be best if I could find it. It’s not easy to earn a few tens of thousands either.”
“For you, you just have to stand there casually and you’ll get a few tens of thousands easily,” Li Shaobin said with disregard.
Ruan Yang sighed. Why must she be embroiled in an argument with him over an earring in the morning? “When I wasn’t popular, it was difficult to even earn a few thousand. People like you, Mr. Li, who are born with a silver spoon in your mouth, would probably never understand such a feeling.”
Li Shaobin felt a little indignant from her words. However, after thinking about it deeply, it seemed that was true.
“Alright, I’ll help you take a look.” Li Shaobin walked towards the carpark.
He opened the door of the sports car and after searching for a long time, he really found an earring on the mats. He took a look at it. No wonder she had to find it—it was covered with diamonds.
He called over and said, “I found it. How should I get it to you?”
“You’d better send it over to the carpark you dropped me off last night,” Ruan Yang said.
“Why must I take it over to you? Come over to get it yourself.” Li Shaobin snorted proudly. “Who are you to me? The woman who can order me around has yet to be born, do you know that?”
Ruan Yang laughed softly. “I want to go out to retrieve it myself, but Mr. Li, because of you, the media is looking all around for me outside. Don’t deny that you did that on purpose yesterday when you saw the reporters outside.”
“Don’t spout nonsense. I have no idea what you’re talking about at all. I’ve yet to blame you for implicating me. If my Dad and Mum were to find out, they would definitely give me a piece of their minds.”
“That’s enough. Who doesn’t know that Mr. Li is a lawless person and your family members can’t even control you?” Ruan Yang really had enough of his troublemaking. “Given your status, without your consent, the reporters definitely wouldn’t dare to report the news. Aren’t you doing it just to piss Xin Ziao off? Actually, if you want to piss Xin Ziao off, you should look for Zhao Zhu. After all, Zhao Zhu is the one he will be marrying.”
Li Shaobin was shocked. That was true.
However, why did he feel that he could only piss Xin Ziao off by getting into a scandal with Ruan Yang? “Xin Ziao and Zhao Zhu are only in a business marriage…”
“So what you mean is that I’m the one Xin Ziao still loves the most?” Ruan Yang suddenly let out a laugh. “Mr. Li, thank you. I think I should consider going back to Xin Ziao’s side.”
“Aye, aye, aye, that’s not what I meant.” Li Shaobin was anxious. He couldn’t let Xin Ziao have his way—that would be making it easy for him. “It’s no use if you went back. None of the Xin family members can be trifled with. Xin Ziao would never stand against his entire family for you.”
It was suddenly silent on the other side of the phone.
Li Shaobin felt a little bad too. She was also cheated by Xin Ziao too. Saying all this seemed to be quite hurtful to her too. “I’ll bring it over right now.”
At the apartment.
Ruan Yang reached for a light-colored t-shirt and put her hair up in a bun casually. She went downstairs to make a bowl of instant noodles and the doorbell suddenly rang outside.
