My Hubby Can't Stop Pampering Me-Chapter 822 - 824: Annulment of Engagement (2)
Chapter 822: Chapter 824: Annulment of Engagement (2)
It wasn’t a gentle or cheerful laugh, but a mocking one, the kind you hear when someone’s enjoying watching a spectacle. Fang Rushuang put down the teacup in her hand. In someone else’s home, it wasn’t polite to look around, so she could only turn to ask her father, “Dad, did I wear something wrong with my clothes? Or is there something dirty on my face?”
Fang Zheng turned to look at her, “No, why do you ask?”
“It’s nothing.” She shook her head. Although still somewhat suspicious inside, she was not the kind to do something inappropriate in front of everyone.
She could only sit more properly and straighten her clothes again, then turned back to give Qin Zhimei a smile. She knew that Qin Zhiyou did not get along with the second and third branches of the family, and if she truly were to marry into the Qin Family, she would inevitably be caught in the middle—she needed to be prepared.
Seeing Fang Rushuang’s oblivious expression, Qin Zhimei also found it amusing. She and Qin Zhizhi exchanged glances, but neither said anything.
They had woken up late and did not know whether the woman in his room had left or not. If she hadn’t, then it would really be quite the drama!
...
After another round of tea, Fang Rushuang was becoming restless. It was almost eleven in the morning, Why did it feel like Qin Zhiyou still hadn’t appeared?
On this side, Bai Changyou was hesitant to speak due to Lu Weixi and Cai Yiren’s relationship, and the mother and daughter from the Cai Family were not in a position to say anything either. With members from the third branch present and Qin Zhiyou not showing up, whatever little matter Yang Mogui had was of no consequence in Yan City. Just the previous night, upon hearing the news, he had called Qin Zhiyou and said that she was still out of town enjoying the buzz. The Qin Family’s actual head of the household, Qin Weijian, was reporting to the elder Mr. Qin, so with both Qin Weijian and the elder Mr. Qin absent, it was inappropriate for others seated in the living room, who all had their own schemes, to discuss any matters. Hence, everyone just sat there foolishly.
Fang Rushuang wanted to ask about Qin Zhiyou’s situation several times, but the atmosphere wasn’t right. Although she and Qin Zhiyou were engaged, their relationship had always been one of mutual respect, and without his invitation, she did not feel comfortable going to his room alone. After much thought, she could only send a message to Qin Zhiyou, “I’m downstairs at your house.”
The message was sent, but there was no response from Qin Zhiyou. Fang Rushuang became a bit agitated, she made a phone call to Qin Zhiyou, the cell phone indicated——powered off. She was somewhat anxious now, wondering what had happened to Qin Zhiyou. Could something have gone wrong when he went home last night?
She didn’t dare to go up and look for him, and after thinking it over, she simply stood up, “I’m going out for a walk.”
Naturally, no one in the living room stopped her, so she left by herself. When she reached the garage entrance, she saw Qin Zhiyou’s car parked inside and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Since Qin Zhiyou’s car was back, he should be home as well, she thought, then tugged at a servant to ask, “Is Zhiyou here?”
The servant nodded, “The young master is at home.”
He was at home, “Then why haven’t I seen him?”
“He probably hasn’t gotten up yet,” the servant said, her eyes once again betraying a gossipy eagerness. Just as Fang Rushuang was feeling puzzled, a disturbance seemed to emerge from inside.
She felt it inappropriate to ask any further and returned to the living room. In the living room, both the elder Mr. Qin and Qin Weijian had come out, with Qin Weijian asking first, “Did you and Lu Weixi break up?”
A breakup wasn’t such a big deal, but the problem was—with her father already at her doorstep, getting tangled up with Cai Yiren was nothing but trouble, wasn’t it?
