Rebirth: Ghost Exorciser

Chi Shuyan naturally had no objections when she saw Brother Feng go out to pick up the call, but she was a little curious about his shifty behavior. Could something have happened with Brother Feng recently, such as meeting a suitable woman?

But she hadn't seen any peach blossoms in Brother Feng's physiognomy recently, and Chi Shuyan wasn't a nosy person. After this thought flashed through her mind, she couldn't be bothered to dwell on it, and simply buried her head in the skewers.

When Feng Yuanlin picked up Zhenbai's call, he suppressed the fluster and guilt in his heart and feigned calmness and confusion as he said innocently, "Zhenbai! You're looking for me?"

Unfortunately, the person on the other end of the line didn't say a word. Feng Yuanlin gritted his teeth in anger.

The more Zhenbai held back his words, the angrier Feng Yuanlin became at his childhood friend. How would anyone know what he was trying to say if he didn't speak?

To be honest, he didn't understand how his childhood friend had wooed Shuyan back then.

Now that his childhood friend had finished looking at his WeChat Moments, he could still endure it without batting an eyelid. When the other party didn't speak, Feng Yuanlin just provoked him even more. "Zhenbai, didn't you want to talk to me? Why aren't you saying anything? If you have nothing to say, Shuyan and Mr. Jing are still waiting for me to go back. Oh, right, I happened to run into Shuyan's new boyfriend and Shuyan today. They even specially invited me to supper. Speaking of which, I didn't think the two of them were compatible before, but the more I look at them now, the more I feel that they are. Besides, now that Shuyan is with someone, she seems quite…" happy.

Before he could finish speaking, the call was cut off. Feng Yuanlin was stupefied and stared at the phone screen in disbelief. He couldn't believe that Zhenbai had actually hung up on him.

He stared at his phone for a few seconds before he confirmed that Zhenbai had really hung up on him. Wait, his words just now hadn't fanned the flames too much, had they?

Chi Shuyan was still picking up vegetables from the hotpot. Afraid that the vegetables would overcook, she scooped up a lot for Brother Feng. Just as she did so, she saw Brother Feng return with a constipated and unsightly expression, his delight at answering the call long gone. She was very puzzled and couldn't help but ask, "Brother Feng, was it urgent?"

"It's fine, it's fine, it was just some office matter!" Feng Yuanlin couldn't say that he had just gotten off the phone with Zhenbai, and the other man had hung up on him. He was furious; the more he thought about it, the more he wanted to explode.

Why was it so difficult to be a matchmaker?

A normal person would have immediately rushed over with a knife when they heard that their wife was about to be seduced by another man.

Zhenbai, that rascal, ignored him and just hung up on him.

He didn't know what Zhenbai was thinking at all.

Did he care about Shuyan at all or not?

Fine, he had already done enough. An outsider like him couldn't interfere anymore. Feng Yuanlin gave up. Who cared which man seduced Shuyan in the future?

In short, given his current close relationship with Shuyan, she wouldn't forget him no matter what boyfriend she found.

If Shuyan really got together with someone else next time, and that kid wanted him to mediate again, fat chance! He could go stew in his regret.

Because of the phone call, Feng Yuanlin lost his appetite. It just so happened that Chi Shuyan was almost done eating. Seeing that Brother Feng couldn't eat anymore, she was about to get up to pay the bill.

In the end, it was still Feng Yuanlin who footed the bill. Chi Shuyan didn't stand on ceremony with Brother Feng. It was Brother Feng's treat this time, but she would treat him next time. As for the frown on Brother Feng's face, Chi Shuyan thought that he was worried about the recent crime cases in the capital.

Chi Shuyan wanted to comfort Brother Feng; she had a feeling that the person in the ward called Yang Ji would look for her sooner or later. Fine, she would talk to Brother Feng when there was progress on that front.

Before the two parted ways, Chi Shuyan told Brother Feng to rest well. Given his swollen eyes, he probably hadn't been sleeping well recently.

Feng Yuanlin still insisted on sending her back to the villa. He had said that he would send her back after supper.

In the end, Chi Shuyan persuaded him by saying that even if something happened, it wouldn't be to her. She also flagged down a taxi herself. Only then did Feng Yuanlin reluctantly agree. Before he did so, he took out his police ID and showed it to the driver, telling him to be careful when he sent Shuyan back.

Chi Shuyan saw that the taxi driver was scared out of his wits by Brother Feng's ID. Those who didn't know better would think that he had committed some crime.

She still appreciated Brother Feng's good intentions and said that she could tell if the driver was a shady character or not from his physiognomy. Only then did Feng Yuanlin relax completely, and he waved at her. "Okay, look at your Brother Feng's poor memory. I forgot about your ability to read people. By the way, Shuyan, if I run into that 'Sister Yuan' next time, I might have to ask you to help me take a look at her."

"No problem!"

After that, Chi Shuyan had the driver start the car. The driver immediately stepped on the gas and drove off, but not at a very fast speed.

Probably because of what Brother Feng did just now, the other party didn't even dare strike up a conversation with her. He didn't speed at all, but drove steadily. Chi Shuyan leaned against the backseat to rest and almost fell asleep.

Only when they were almost at the villa did Chi Shuyan open her eyes. She paid the driver, got out of the car, and was about to enter the villa, when she saw a black car parked not far from her house. Its headlights weren't on, so Chi Shuyan hadn't noticed it earlier. At that moment, the headlights suddenly turned on and the window rolled down. Chi Shuyan turned around and instantly saw the stern and cold man sitting upright in the backseat. Their eyes met.

Chi Shuyan was a bit stunned and only came back to her senses after a while. "It's you?"
