My Wife Longs for Divorce Every Day - Chapter 388

Chapter 388: 388, do you despise me this much?

“So you’re trying to stick to my brother, aren’t you?”

Chu Jingyi curled her red lips, her eyes full of undisguised contempt for Shi Huan. “You used to keep it slightly hidden, but ever since I returned to Nancheng, how many times have you tried to contact the Chu family?” She began to count.

“First, you came with Ahuang to attend my grandfather’s birthday party, then you entered our mansion using the kids as an excuse. Are you trying to use the Chu family as a stepping stone? And getting along so well with Su Wanwan? Now, this is the second time you’ve accompanied my brother to a public event.” Shi Huan saw the tall and slender figure approaching them. She quickly excused herself, “I’m sorry, I need to leave for a moment.”

Just when she was about to leave, Chu Jingyi suddenly grabbed her arm, “we’re not finished talking yet. Did I tell you that you can leave?”

After she finished speaking, Chu Jingyi gave a fierce push.

Chu Jingyi was one meter seven four tall and was wearing almost ten centimeters high heels.

Shi Huan, who was just one meter six five tall and wearing black heels, was pushed backward onto the couch due to the strong push and height difference.

It didn’t really hurt, but Chu Xiuhuang’s voice rang out in discontent, “Sis, what are you doing?”

Chu Jingyi was taken aback.

Turning around, her face returning to its usual noble ice-cold expression, “Ahuang, can’t you find another female companion? Why did you bring this woman again today…”

“What I asked was…” Chu Xiuhuang interrupted her, his handsome face expressionless, lips tight, jaw clenched, each word precise, “What exactly are you doing?”

For the first time, Chu Jingyi saw an emotion resembling anger on his face.

In an instant, she clenched her fists, “Ahuang, are you blaming me?”

Chu Xiuhuang came over and extended his hand to Shi Huan who was on the sofa.

Shi Huan was somewhat perplexed, not understanding his intentions.

Then, Chu Xiuhuang bent over slightly, and directly took her hand with his.

With a hard pull, Shi Huan was pulled up to her feet by him.

Following that, Chu Xiuhuang tugged at her again.

Before she could let out an exclamation, Shi Huan’s shoulder was already held by a strong hand, the man’s firm and tight heat transferring to her.

Chu Xiuhuang placed one hand on her shoulder, pulling her close beside him.

He lifted his chin and spoke with his cold, proud lips, “Miss Shi is my companion for tonight. Disrespecting her means disrespecting me. So, sister, are you trying to slap my face?”

“Do you even understand what you’re saying?” Chu Jingyi challenged.

Chu Xiuhuang squinted his eyes, warning her with a low and threatening tone, “I don’t want to see this again. Otherwise, don’t blame me for not considering our familial ties.”

With that said, Chu Xiuhuang strode away with his arm around Shi Huan.

Chu Jingyi stood there, stunned for a long moment.

Her younger brother had always been stubborn and unruly since childhood. As he grew older, he garnered quite an unsavory reputation outside. However, in the Chu family, a scholastic aristocratic family who pay great attention to their reputation, he’s always been polite and humble.

But just now, was he warning her?

Did Ahuang, who had always been extremely respectful to his twin sister, actually threaten her because of that lowly woman?

Was he warning her?

Chu Jingyi struggled to accept this reality.

Once they reached the lobby, Shi Huan immediately asked, “Mr. Chu, you can let go of me now.”

His hand on her shoulder, even though it was through her clothes, felt like a hot potato and made her feel very uncomfortable.

Especially at this banquet tonight. All the influential figures of Nancheng had been invited, including some familiar faces from other affluent families. Chu Xiuhuang was like a shining star, stealing attention wherever he went…

She had already noticed many people looking over, both men and women, and whispering amongst themselves.

However, she didn’t want to see her photos all over the gossip forums the next day.

“Mr. Chu?”

Chu Xiuhuang acted as if he didn’t hear, and continued walking with her in his arms.

He even felt quite comfortable in this position.

In public, it’s usually the female companion who would hook her arm through his.

He had a strong dislike for physical contact, considering their makeup vulgar and their perfume low quality.

Even touching his fingers made him feel like it was unsanitary.

So this was his first time holding a woman like this in public.

She’s so petite!

She only reached up to his chest. His arm loosely lay on her shoulder, it was very comfortable, very easy.

As they walked, they touched slightly. He could smell the natural freshness that came from her.

So this is what it felt like when couples walk arm in arm?

It seemed quite nice.

Just as he was about to enjoy the moment a bit more…

“Mr. Chu!”

Shi Huan couldn’t stand it anymore, she directly stopped walking and stood by the side.

Her arm slid down.

The vanishing touch made Chu Xiuhuang’s eyebrows knit together in displeasure. Seeing Shi Huan was also frowning, he blurted out, “Do you really hate me that much?”

Shi Huan was taken aback, “What dislike?”

Chu Xiuhuang,”…”

A few seconds later, he opened his thin lips again, calmly and without a trace of panic, “What I mean to say is, can’t you just lift (dislike) your hair?”

As expected, Shi Huan immediately countered, “Why should I lift my hair?” Why did she feel that Master Chu was being odd lately?

She had known him for so many years and worked together for five, but the recent Chu Xiuhuang seemed like a different person.

She hardly recognized him anymore.

Chu Xiuhuang slowly put his hands in the pockets of his suit trousers and hooked one side of his thin lips, watching her with a smile that wasn’t really a smile.

The banquet hall’s luxurious crystal chandelier hung overhead, and the light poured down, making Shi Huan look small standing in front of him.

Her black suit made her look even more delicate and beautiful, her mid-length black hair that hadn’t been styled, hung down either side of her face, glowing softly under the light.

But her face was almost completely covered by her hairstyle and black-frame glasses. It was hard to see her features, only revealing her small nose and pink lips.

She didn’t even wear any lipstick, but he had known how sweet they were at the club that night.

An emotion flashed through his eyes.

Then, he suddenly reached out.

Because it was so sudden, Shi Huan was not prepared at all. She felt a light touch on her nose, a blur flashed before her eyes, and her biack-framed glasses fell into Chu Xiuhuang’s hand.

Without the cover of the dark-rimmed glasses, her small and white face was revealed, her beautiful eyes just staring at him, their expressions bewildered and lost, looking pitiful.

Chu Xiuhuang was slightly startled for a moment.

In just a few seconds, a series of images flashed through his mind so quickly that he couldn’t catch them…

Then, Shi Huan had reacted. She quickly snatched the black-framed glasses from Chu Xiuhuang’s hand and hastily put them back on.

“Why did you take off my glasses?” she asked angrily.

Chu Xiuhuang’s eyebrows twitched, and he coughed lightly before responding, “Why would you wear such fake-looking glasses when you clearly don’t have myopia?”

He had seen nearsighted people wearing glasses before, which had degrees circled on the lens, which Shi Huan’s glasses didn’t have.

“Because it makes me look more mature, which is conducive to work.” Shi Huan answered, revealing nothing.

Chu Xiuhuang:”…”

His eyes narrowed, he was just about to speak…

“Xiuhuang.”

Shi Huan quickly turned around. Seeing the newcomer, she immediately nodded with a light smile, “Mr. Huo.”

The one who arrived was Huo Jingshen.

In his meticulously tailored black suit, he was elegant and noble, but…

“Big brother.” Chu Xiuhuang raised an eyebrow, “Why didn’t you bring that little girl of yours?”

Huo Jingshen hooked his thin lips casually, “She’s been busy preparing for her final exam.”

“Pfft!” Chu Xiuhuang scoffed, “No wonder you’re all by yourself, married but

no sex life, you… what exactly are you picturing, huh?”

Shi Huan:”…”

Huo Jingshen:”…”

Nancheng University.

It was already nine 0 ‘clock when Su Wanwan returned to her dormitory. She put down her book and was about to take a bath when her phone suddenly rang. Picking it up, she saw that Huo Jingshen had sent some photos.

There were several, all of jewelry, with a line of text at the bottom: [Baby, which one do you like?]

So Su Wanwan examined them carefully.

Pearl earrings?

She usually didn’t wear any, and the design in this photo was too exaggerated for her everyday wear.

Ruby necklace?

Last time, Huo Jingshen bought a jade necklace, and she hadn’t really worn it, but since she already had it, she didn’t need another.

Jade bracelet?

Su Wanwan thought of the priceless heirloom bracelet that Mrs. Huo had given her. It was nicer and more expensive than this one.

A ring?

At this point, Huo Jingshen sent another message, [You have to choose one!] Helpless, Su Wanwan randomly copied the picture of a ring from the chat box and sent it back.

[Let’s go with this one.]
