Two-Faced Husband, Have Some Decency!-Chapter 19: Since You've Asked, I Will Stay The Night
He pointed at the cup Song Yu was holding and said embarrassedly, “That’s my cup.”
‘Thud!’
Song Yu placed the cup hard on the desk. Some water splashed out.
“I will go and get another cup of water.” She stood up and walked out of the room stiffly.
Qi Chengzhi’s gaze followed her out, and he noted the nape of her neck blushing.
He grinned. He took the cup and drank a sip of water at the same place where her lips left a light stain.
When Song Yu returned, the two carried on with the discussion. Qi Chengzhi looked at his watch, “It’s already 12.30am. Apologies, I wasn’t paying attention to the time and dragged the discussion too long.”
“No worries. This is a big case. Young Master Cheng, as long as you’re satisfied, that’s what matters. This is just a draft and there will be several revisions after this. Young Master Cheng, what do you think about the design?” Song Yu probed. She wanted to know her chances.
“Not bad.” Qi Chengzhi nodded without implying anything. He bent his head to look out the window.
“Eh? When did it start snowing so heavily?” Qi Chengzhi spoke as he walked to the window.
Song Yu followed suit. Unexpectedly, the snow flurry had turned into a snowstorm. The winter night wind was violent, and it was worsening.
Looking across the horizon, it was all covered in silvery white snow. The snow seemed to light up the night.
The snow covering had reached the level of half a tire.
“The snow covering is too thick for a smooth ride.” While Qi Chengzhi seemed to just be mumbling to himself, his eyes were fixed on Song Yu. The implication was obvious.
“…”
Song Yu’s lips trembled a little. She was not sure what to say.
“Accident tends to happen during midnight, particularly during a heavy snowstorm.” He withdrew his eyes from Song Yu and mumbled to himself by the window.
“…” Song Yu could not stand his grumbling. She probed, “Young Master Cheng, how about you stay overnight?”
Qi Chengzhi turned his head slowly. He nodded, taking the statement seriously, “Since you asked, I will stay overnight.”
“…”
It was just a superficial remark. She did not mean what she said.
“I will go and take a shower.” Qi Chengzhi began to step outside. He looked back at the door and asked, “Do you have clothes I can wear?”
“No,” Song Yu answered honestly.
Qi Chengzhi said nothing and continued walking. He thought to himself, ‘Good. It means no man stays here.’
Qi Chengzhi brought a shopping bag into the bathroom when Song Yu was not paying attention. He’d stopped by the supermarket before this.
A pair of briefs was inside the bag.
While Qi Chengzhi was showering, Song Yu placed pillows and a fresh blanket on the sofa in the living room.
Next, she brought in a spare toothbrush.
She kept a few spare toiletries at home in case they ran out—she was usually so busy with work that she had no time to purchase them.
