Rebirth: Ghost Exorciser

Chi Shuyan didn't feel the slightest bit happy when she heard the man's explanation and confession. Instead, she was stunned.

She had thought a lot this afternoon and evening, and had calmed down significantly.

She had always thought that she and this man would wind up getting married, and had never thought that the two of them would break up one day.

1

She thought that no matter how much they quarreled, neither of them would ever mention the words "break up."

After all, they were too hurtful.

Thinking about it now, she could only say that she was too naive.

The man's ruthlessness and his resolve to truly break up had been a blow to her head, making her understand that the feelings between adults wasn't just about naive dating; they wouldn't necessarily get all the way to the end just because she wanted them to.

What happened at noon today pained her to the core. At the same time, it made her realize that in just half a year, she had fallen in love with and was reliant on the man next to her. This sense of emotional loss and dependence was very dangerous.

In particular, when she saw him with another woman, her heart twisted in pain and she had the desire to kill him.

She didn't want to experience this pain anymore.

Right now, she could still be rational when it came to the man in front of her. If he really wanted to break up, she could endure the pain in her heart and decisively accept it, and try her best not to make things too ugly.

But if not, then what?

If the two of them remained together, their feelings would definitely deepen. She would be drawn to him all the time. If this man still suddenly wanted to break up in the future, she probably wouldn't be able to accept it so calmly.

She couldn't help but think of her teacher's trauma in her previous life when she fell at the hands of a scumbag. Even when that scumbag died at her teacher's hands, her teacher still hadn't been able to get over her feelings and trauma.

Living a lifetime in pain and as a shadow of herself was no better an ending than what that scumbag got.

Qi Zhenbai might not be a scumbag, and was certainly nothing like that scumbag surnamed Zhao, but even if Chi Shuyan believed that his feelings for her were real, she was really afraid that if she got back together with this man, she wouldn't be able to walk to the end sooner or later, and would be consigned to eternal damnation.

It was just like what her teacher had said to her in her past life: Shuyan, feelings are the most hurtful in the world. Don't get involved if you can, and don't live like me in the end. Instead of being bound by feelings in the world for the rest of your life, it's better to focus on cultivation and walk the road of prosperity to seek positive results. Even if you want to get into a relationship, you have to give yourself a way out.

She hadn't quite understood what her teacher meant, but she was painfully aware now.

As the saying went, there was no end to a sea of bitterness. Right now, at least, she could still return to shore.

She was really a little afraid of relationships now.

Moreover, no matter how she looked at the dangerous man in front of her, she felt that she had never seen his true colors. At the thought of his unhinged expression just now, she subconsciously shuddered with fear.

It was human nature to seek benefits and avoid harm, and she was no exception.

Chi Shuyan quickly focused and didn't let the other party see anything.

If possible, she really wanted to make things clear with the man in front of her, but she was really afraid that he would suddenly go crazy again!

Even if she really came clean with him, she had to do it outside Imperial Restaurant.

Chi Shuyan gritted her teeth and could only compose herself. This dinner was destined to go badly. This table of good food had all gone to waste because of this man's appalling behavior.

Chi Shuyan stared at the mess on the floor. Even though she had no appetite, she still couldn't help but want to vomit blood when she thought of how the man had wasted the food. She stared blankly at the floor.

Qi Zhenbai's eyes were gentle. Thinking that his wife was hungry, he asked gently, "Are you hungry now? Shall we go next door?"

Chi Shuyan naturally understood what the man meant. Wasn't it just changing rooms and getting Chef Li to prepare another table of dishes?

Chi Shuyan was furious. How dare this man ask Chef Li to prepare another table of dishes?

Before Chi Shuyan could fly into a rage, Chef Li knocked on the door and came in. Hearing Young Master Qi's instructions, Chef Li immediately nodded obediently with a respectful expression and said that he would do it right away.

Chi Shuyan choked at Chef Li's respectful expression and wanted to vomit blood again. Before Chef Li could leave, Chi Shuyan got up and said, "No need, Chef Li. I'm not hungry. I'm about to leave."

Chef Li was surprised. On the side, Qi Zhenbai's eyes lit up when he heard his wife's words. His cloudy face finally calmed down, and he got up readily. "Then let's go home!"

Chi Shuyan once again experienced how thick-skinned Qi Zhenbai was. She didn't hurry to deny his words, but said to Chef Li, "Chef Li, we're leaving first!"

She had wanted to take a taxi back to the villa with Li Yu and Han Yu, but with this ticking time bomb next to her, she couldn't take the two children with her. She just instructed Chef Li to take the two little guys back to the villa later.

Chef Li hurriedly nodded, but there was some doubt in his eyes. He originally wanted to ask Miss Shuyan if she was going back to the villa or going back with this Qi family member, but when he saw the man staring possessively at Miss Shuyan, he obediently shut up. He knew what and what not to ask.

Chi Shuyan led the man out of Imperial Restaurant. Chi Shuyan saw that the man was still holding her hand tightly. The weather was hot, and their palms were sweaty.

She couldn't stand it, but the man enjoyed it and didn't let go no matter what.

Because of the man next to her, Chi Shuyan felt suffocated tonight and her throat burned. She did want to come clean with him, but tonight wasn't the time.

At the thought of this man's unhinged expression, she subconsciously felt a little scared and her heart jumped. After thinking about it, she felt that she would only be able to make things clear in a few days; it would give the man some time to calm down a little more at least.

Chi Shuyan felt that after this experience, she should focus on cultivating in peace, and listen to her teacher. It was best not to get involved in relationships. It was still not too late to turn back now.

As for which woman this man would be with after this, it had nothing to do with her.

Although she still couldn't breathe at the thought of this possibility, she felt that smart people should cut their losses in a timely manner.

The sooner, the better!

Chi Shuyan looked up and met the man's deep and burning gaze again. Her heart sank. She got goosebumps all over her body and her scalp tingled again.

From the moment they left the private room, she had sensed the man's gaze on her face. Even now, his gaze still didn't move away, as if he wanted to bore a hole through her.

She felt a little uneasy being stared at by the man tonight.

Chi Shuyan had already made up her mind to lay her cards on the table and make things clear in a few days. She didn't want to play any twisted games with this man. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that she couldn't afford to get involved with feelings. She might as well cultivate in peace.

That was what she thought, but she was afraid of agitating the man in front of her again. She had to admit defeat tonight. At that moment, she said diplomatically, "I'll go back to the villa tonight. Give me a few days to think about it! I'll contact you!"
