The Rebirth of the Cultivation Leader Qin Zhao as a Celebrity
Chapter 375 - 373: Wife, Where Did You Go?

Chapter 375: Chapter 373: Wife, Where Did You Go?

"You’re sick? What illness?"

Qin Zhao feigned surprise as he spoke.

"It’s nothing, just the recent drop in temperature. I caught a bit of a cold, and I don’t want to pass it on to you."

Chu Yan let go of Qin Zhao, his aura seeming somewhat low.

Qin Zhao took off his shoes and coat, intending to return to his room, but then he noticed his clothing was being tugged on.

He saw those red tear duct marks shining against his pale skin, which only accentuated their vivid redness, curiously creating a sense of broken beauty.

"Won’t you just ignore him, please?"

His long, thick eyelashes trembled as Chu Yan looked up at her.

That cautious demeanor could make one feel heart-wrenching, prompting Qin Zhao to blurt out, "Okay."

Right after feeling pity, Chu Yan pulled her over to the sofa.

He sat there with his legs crossed, his aura dangerous, "Now you better explain quickly, what did you do today? Why did you have to meet?

If you don’t explain clearly,"

he continued, Chu Yan pulled something out of his pocket and tossed it onto the coffee table.

Qin Zhao looked closely and realized it was a box of condoms.

Her lips twitched slightly.

This guy changes his mood so quickly; wasn’t he just looking pitiful?

And what’s the meaning of throwing this thing out here, hey!

Chu Yan said solemnly, "If you don’t explain yourself, we’re going to use up this whole box today."

Not long after finishing, he added emotionlessly, "This is specially selected by me. It not only comes in many flavors but also,"

"???"

Qin Zhao glanced at the box’s descriptions of the flavors and shapes, and her cheeks instantly turned red.

Her hand hanging by her side couldn’t help but clench.

Could she still beat him up now and make him spit out the Bone Marrow Cleansing Pill?

"It was all work-related, naturally helping him with astrology and fortune-telling."

Qin Zhao rolled her eyes at him and turned to leave.

Chu Yan pulled her back, his face stern, "Don’t go! You haven’t finished explaining. What did he ask you to calculate?"

"Mrs. Shen had discussed a new marriage match with him, asking me to calculate the marital bond and fortune."

A new marriage match?

Hearing this, Chu Yan breathed a sigh of relief.

Get Shen Xihe married off quickly! Otherwise, it’ll affect their marital relationship!

"I didn’t expect his fiancée to be Murong Qi. As a professional Heavenly Master, I broke them up. The Shen Family is probably worried now about how to break the engagement with the Murong Family."

"?" Chu Yan suddenly looked up at her, "Why did you break them up? Do you know Shen Xihe has found a new love, so you feel uncomfortable?"

"What are you thinking, I’m just doing my job for the money."

"Then that day when I asked if you like me, why didn’t you answer?" Chu Yan stood up angrily, looming over her, "You do care about him!"

Qin Zhao was utterly confused as to why he was connecting these two things together.

"Chu Yan, you are being unreasonable."

Her tone was too calm for Qin Zhao, as if discussing something trivial. But for Chu Yan, this was a crucial matter.

She avoided his affection and even broke up Shen Xihe’s engagement, which couldn’t help but lead him to overthink.

It felt like he had never had a place in her heart from the beginning.

"Do you like me or not?"

Chu Yan asked again, but Qin Zhao still didn’t answer.

"Don’t think too much, just rest early since you have a cold."

Qin Zhao first returned to her room and took away the box of condoms, hiding it in an unknown corner of the room to prevent Chu Yan from finding the thing.

As for the issue that Chu Yan was constantly troubled by, she herself didn’t have an answer, so how could she respond to him?

After a while, she came out of her room and found that Chu Yan was still sitting on the sofa.

His eyelids drooped, masking his uncertain gaze. The light shone on his body, making his handsome face appear even paler, as if devoid of any color, his aura gloomy and dejected.

"Qin Zhao, whether I exist for you or not, is it something that doesn’t make any difference?" he asked.

"Nobody will need someone forever. Everyone lives in this world and will ultimately walk to loneliness.

So there’s no need for you to dwell on such things. Just enjoy the process of accompanying each other."

The hand on his knee tightened slightly, and he said lowly, somewhat obsessively, "But I will always need you."

"Thank you," she smiled, "You’re quite the romantic."

She obviously didn’t take his words seriously.

Chu Yan felt as if something was blocking his heart, making him uncomfortable, but he didn’t want to lose his temper in front of Qin Zhao.

So he suddenly stood up, put on his coat, and left home.

Watching Chu Yan leave, Qin Zhao then reined in the smile on her face and slightly furrowed her brow.

She wondered whether to tell Chu Yan the truth.

Did this guy think he was dying, and that’s why he was being overly sentimental recently?

After Chu Yan left, he went for a walk in the neighborhood garden. He needed some fresh air; being at home made it hard for him to breathe, and he didn’t want to stay there.

Especially the way Qin Zhao looked at him, indifferent and clear to an extent he couldn’t accept.

He wanted Qin Zhao, and wanted to have her forever.

He couldn’t even imagine what appaling state he’d be in if he lost her.

As a doctor in criminal psychology, he knew his views on love were wrong, and that such views could harm both Qin Zhao and himself, but he couldn’t control these thoughts.

Chu Yan stopped walking and took a deep breath.

There happened to be blooming roses nearby, so he casually plucked one.

"Qin Zhao likes me."

"Qin Zhao doesn’t like me."

"Qin Zhao likes me."

"Doesn’t like me."

"Likes me."

He plucked the petals one by one, and when there was only one petal left, the answer was ’doesn’t like me.’

The cold phoenix eyes instantly turned icy.

On the late night, Chu Yan grabbed a shovel from the side of the garden and leveled all the nearby roses.

Even after that, he was not mollified and secretly went to Shen Xihhe’s place. He beat the sleeping Shen Xihhe black and blue, which instantly made him feel much better. Then he slowly made his way back home.

He realized that all the lights were off when he got home.

Chu Yan tiptoed back to his room, being careful not to wake Qin Zhao.

The next day, he found out that his wife was gone and he was nearly furious enough to smoke coming out of his seven orifices.

Moreover, he had no idea where Qin Zhao had gone or when she had left.

It seems holding the same blanket, he still can’t keep his wife!

Although Chu Yan had resolved to ignore Qin Zhao for the next few days for making him so sad and upset, after hesitating for a long time, he still dialed Qin Zhao’s phone number.

"Wife, where did you go?" he asked.

A cold voice came through the phone, carrying a touch of plaintive complaint.

"I’m in Chiang Mai, can’t talk now. I have a meeting."

"???"

Chiang Mai? Isn’t that abroad! How did she suddenly run off overseas!
