Chapter 508: 0498 I disagree Chapter 508: 0498 I disagree After a long while.

The smile on his lips deepened, seemingly laughing, but his eyes were brimming with an icy coldness.

He leaned in again, crowding her with his body, and his ice-cold voice suddenly pierced the quiet corridor.

“As long as you know!”

That single, simple sentence once again made Ye Zhichen’s heart shudder violently.

It took a good long while.

Her lips slowly curved into a smile, but it was a miserable and forced one.

Then, she nodded and softly “Mhm”ed!

Chi Mu’s gaze lingered on the woman’s face for a moment. His complexion was slightly pale, his eyes tranquil without any ripples, devoid of surplus emotion.

A single syllable ignited a surge of anger within him, and he shook off her wrist.

“Ye Zhichen, I will never love you in this lifetime. Put away all your thoughts; our marriage was nothing but an accident.”

Having said that, he walked towards the door.

Ye Zhichen stood frozen in place as if rooted to the spot, unable to move a single step.

–

Chi Mu did not return to the private box, and when Ye Zhichen went back, her complexion was still somewhat pale.

Seeing this, Su Ran quickly went to her side. “What’s wrong?”

It was only when she grasped her hand that she realized how cold Zhichen’s palm was.

Ye Zhichen tried to appear calm and shook her head at Su Ran, her smile forced and bitter.

“It’s nothing.”

Just from seeing Zhichen’s complexion, Su Ran could guess the gist of it, and her expression turned cold in an instant.

“What are you all looking at me for? Let’s eat, don’t let me spoil everyone’s good time.”

Seeing that everyone’s gaze was on her, Ye Zhichen smiled and spoke in an artificially relaxed manner.

“Hahaha… Let’s eat, let’s eat, but Chu Ling, since tonight also counts as your celebration feast, logically and emotionally, shouldn’t you offer a toast to everyone?”

Mo Shangjie was very good at lightening the mood, and looking at Chu Ling, who was silent, he teased her.

Chu Ling glared at him fiercely, barely holding back her anger:

“What’s it to you whether I offer a toast or not?”

“Heh…”

Mo Shangjie watched Chu Ling’s angry little face wrinkle up and couldn’t help but let out a light chuckle, the mockery and amusement in his eyes undisguised.

“Young master here is kindly reminding you, teaching you the principles of conducting yourself; don’t be ungrateful.”

Chu Ling stared at Mo Shangjie’s handsome face, particularly when she saw the meaningful smile on his face, she felt somewhat out of control.

“Who are you to me? Do you need to teach me anything?”

Mo Shangjie arched an eyebrow, drew a bit closer to her, and with a mischievous grin, spoke in a teasing tone,

“If you’re willing, I can become someone who has the right to teach you.”

Chu Ling glanced at him with a flushed face, “I’m not willing.”

Mo Shangjie clenched his teeth as he stared at this increasingly insolent woman, puffing up with anger: “An ungrateful woman!”

With his face set in a stern expression, Su Ran watched the two of them, shaking her head helplessly.

Ye Zhichen, seeing this, also let out a light laugh.

Fu Qiyuan narrowed his eyes, his profound gaze scanned over the two for a moment without speaking. Instead, he picked up his chopsticks, took a piece of beef, and placed it into Su Ran’s bowl.

Su Ran smiled and likewise picked up her chopsticks to put a piece into his bowl.

Fu Qiyuan raised an eyebrow, his cold and austere face slightly softened.

Amidst the banter and playfulness of Mo Shangjie and Chu Ling, the atmosphere in the private room became less tense and ended the dinner harmoniously.

Xiao Yize followed Fu Qiyuan, Su Ran, and the others as they left.

“Do you have other matters?”

Fu Qiyuan asked coldly, his gaze icy.

Xiao Yize glanced at him lightly, “No.”

Afterward, his gaze fell on Su Ran, his eyebrows raised, “See you next time.”

Fu Qiyuan’s gaze grew colder.

Su Ran sighed lightly, helplessly pressing her hand against her forehead.

At this moment, several luxurious black sedans slowly pulled up beside them. Xiao Yize didn’t say anything more, got straight into the car, and quickly drove off.

Fu Qiyuan stood in place for a few seconds, his brows shading into a deeper, more predatory intensity.

Qin Feng got out of the car and opened the rear door; he was the last to wrap his arms around Su Ran as they got into the car.

Throughout the ride, the man’s mood seemed somewhat off, and Su Ran repeatedly sighed but felt helpless.

Xiao Yize was someone she couldn’t figure out.

She didn’t know what he really wanted to do!

When the two returned to Platinum Lanting, it was already late into the night.

After washing up, Su Ran lay straight in bed, while the man was still in the bathroom. She idly scrolled through online updates on her phone.

Before she knew it, her eyelids grew heavy, her lashes quivered gently until they completely closed.

Before falling asleep, Su Ran kept thinking about Ye Zhichen’s matters, so her subconscious was also filled with her thoughts.

She didn’t sleep peacefully, her brows tightly furrowed together, even the color of her face in her sleep was unusually heavy.

In the haze, she faintly heard the sound of the bathroom door opening, followed by the soft sound of footsteps, and then the rustling noises next to her.

The soft mattress dipped slightly as someone lifted the blanket and slid in. Su Ran’s eyelashes trembled, and she was gently embraced into someone’s arms.

Then, she felt someone caressing her brow, the fingertips cool, and her tightly furrowed brows gradually relaxed.

Su Ran wanted to crack open her eyelids to look, but the familiar and cool breath made her eyelids slightly flutter, and she eventually gave up the struggle, instinctively rubbing her cheek, a picture of contentment.

Fu Qiyuan looked down at her, saw the girl instinctively draw closer to him, instinctively rub her face against his chest, and finally, he sighed a breath of relief, his face a picture of contentment.

He stared at her unblinkingly, a smile tugging at his lips, the curve of his mouth gradually lifting, his prominent jaw resting against the girl’s fluffy head, holding her tightly.

Su Ran felt the strength around her waist gradually tighten, and her arm resting on the man’s waist also tightened, muttering groggily.

“Have you finished showering?”

“Mhm.”

Fu Qiyuan gently responded, lowering his head to kiss her forehead.

The bedroom was quiet for a while until Su Ran’s drowsy voice slowly rose again.

“Do you want a late-night snack?”

Fu Qiyuan, holding Su Ran’s body, looked at her with eyes slightly closed, chuckled lowly at her unconscious question.

“Not hungry.”

Even in her sleep, she hadn’t forgotten that he might be hungry.

In the confined space, the two clung tightly together, Fu Qiyuan’s thin lips kissing her forehead, unable to resist slowly moving down, landing on her lips, gently rubbing against them.

The soft touch on her lips and the strong scent emanating from the man, her nose filled with his scent, Su Ran’s eyelashes trembled, and she slowly opened her eyes.

Her eyes were still heavy with sleep, tinged with a misty haziness, her rims slightly reddened, yet seductive as silk.

The movements on her lips did not stop, and Su Ran instinctively held him tightly, letting him take what he wanted.
