Two-Faced Husband, Have Some Decency!

Panda Novel

Yu Keyao almost fell to the ground after being shoved by Qi Chengzhi. She wobbled a few steps in her high heels before regaining balance and watched as the Range Rover merged into the stream of cars in a daze.

Just then, she received a call from Yu Zidong telling her that he sent someone to pick her up.

…

…

Liang Lihua was waiting at the hallway entrance to receive Yu Zidong into the house. To her surprise, Yu Keyao appeared behind Yu Zidong and followed him in. ‘Why did she come home now, wasn’t she supposed to have a meal with Qi Chengzhi?’ she thought to herself.

“What happened? Didn’t you eat with Qi Chengzhi?” Liang Lihua pulled Yu Keyao over and saw the displeased expression on Yu Zidong’s face.

Yu Keyao told her what happened.

“He said that he has a girlfriend but I feel like he’s lying to me. Otherwise, why would his parents arrange a blind date for him?” Yu Keyao entered and sat down in the living room.

Liang Lihua nodded and said, “I think Qi Chengzhi must be very arrogant and has very high standards, that’s why he has never found a woman all these years. Also, even if he really does have a girlfriend, his parents probably didn’t approve of her. You still stand a chance and you should seize this opportunity no matter what. Honestly, I did not expect the Qi family to look for us. Think of how the Song family received all those benefits and respect when Song Yu was engaged to Qi Chengji. You must grab hold of Qi Chengzhi.

“Back in the days, the Song family managed to gain so many advantages after getting engaged to just the younger son of the Qi family who wasn’t holding any actual power. If you successfully get engaged to the heir of the Qi family and become Madam Qi, our family will definitely prosper from then onwards!” Liang Lihua said, “You shouldn’t feel embarrassed. There’s a saying that even the fiercest woman will succumb to a man after his incessant pestering. It works the same for men too.

“Especially for a personality like Qi Chengzhi’s, he’s the type who doesn’t easily open up his icy cold heart. However, once he falls for you, you’ll be showered with endless blessings. His feelings for you would definitely be transcendent.”

“Mum, I’m aware of this. Don’t you worry, I won’t give up. I truly like Qi Chengzhi. Finally, there’s someone who’s able to touch my heart, this must be fate. We’re destined to be together,” Yu Keyao said calmly. Yu Zidong and Liang Lihua nodded as she spoke. They felt a sense of reassurance as they never had to worry much about their daughter.

Yu Keyao went back to her bedroom to change. She took off her outer coat, exposing her wrists. Suddenly, she felt pulses of burning sensation on the part of the wrist that was held by Qi Chengzhi.

Even though he did not withhold his strength when he grabbed her, but Yu Keyao felt that despite Qi Chengzhi’s cold, expressionless visage, he was still extremely charming.

A man should be as mature and valiant as he was.

When he held onto her wrist, she felt weak. When she recalled the scenario of the incident, she really wanted to lunge into his arms and enjoy the feeling of being hugged by him.

Yu Keyao was so besotted with him that her gaze became dazed as she reminisced. The corner of her mouth lifted subconsciously and she smiled widely as she imagined.

She could not resist touching the part of her wrist that was held by him. She lowered her head and traced the skin on her wrist with the tip of her nose. It was as if she could still smell the refreshing scent of Qi Chengzhi.

Yu Keyao revealed an infatuated expression on her face. Both her cheeks were blushing, her eyes lost focus long ago and her lips gently imprinted themselves on the skin that was previously held by Qi Chengzhi.

…

…

Qi Chengzhi was unable to come home for dinner due to a social event. Without his company to celebrate Valentine’s Day dinner together, Song Yu lost her appetite to eat.

She had never felt so lonely before when he had to socialize normally. Perhaps it was because of the special occasion today, and possibly having been influenced by the public atmosphere, it made her especially uncomfortable.

Aunt Yang had prepared some simple dishes for dinner. Song Yu returned to her bedroom after the both of them had finished dinner.

The enormous bouquet of roses on the bed was seductively red. Song Yu felt uneasy and just could not bear to look at it.

When she came home with the bouquet just now, Aunt Yang asked in surprise, “Sir gave this to you?”

Song Yu did not know how to reply and just answered carelessly with “Uhm”. With her face blushing red at that moment, she started cleaning up according to Ruan Danchen’s orders.

After cleaning up, Song Yu went downstairs and waited in the living room. To her surprise, Qi Chengzhi came back shortly after she had settled down.

“Why are you home so early?” Song Yu walked to the hallway entrance to welcome him. However, he did not move and just stood still without changing into his slippers.

“We’re done discussing with the client, that’s why I’m back early.” Qi Chengzhi had one hand behind his back, and he smelled like frost. “Go and put on your outer coat.”

“We’re heading out?” Song Yu asked, confused. Noticing he was hiding one hand behind his back, she tried to take a peep at it.

Qi Chengzhi gave a half-smile and urged, “Quickly.”

Song Yu replied with an “Oh”. She was still very curious about what he was trying to hide behind him. She gave another glance before going back to the bedroom to grab her coat.

Qi Chengzhi waited at the entrance. He extended his hand and waved at her when he saw her coming over.

Song Yu’s face heated up. She smiled shyly and placed her hand on his well-structured hand. She felt that this gesture was very meaningful.

Qi Chengzhi’s hand was not cold but rather warm and dry as he was wearing gloves before this.

He held her hand as they walked into the elevator and pressed the floor buttons. They were going up instead of heading down.

“I thought we were going out?” Song Yu turned her head and looked upwards at him. Wearing only flats, her height was only up to his shoulder level when she stood upright.

“Just follow me.” Qi Chengzhi squeezed her hand. Then, he paused for a moment, turned his head suddenly and asked, “Who sent you the bouquet of Blue Enchantress Hydrangea this morning?”

“…”, Song Yu thought about the misunderstanding this morning. She blamed herself for not asking clearly before saying things and felt her scalp tingling. “I placed it at the reception this morning.”

Qi Chengzhi scoffed and looked at her with a sardonic half-smile on his face.

“The ‘business card’ sent it, right?” He arched his eyebrow and spread his lips in an enigmatic manner.

Song Yu was baffled and pondered for quite some time before realizing that the ‘business card’ that he mentioned was probably referring to Li Zhuoan.

How could he give him a nickname like this!

Wang Yifeng was the ‘Camry’, and Li Zhuoan became the ‘business card’. It was a rather accurate representation!

“You think that it’s romantic, huh?” Qi Chengzhi continued.

“…”, in Song Yu’s heart, she knew that this man was being petty again. At first, she was already prepared to comfort him. However, when he came in from the door just now, he seemed like he was in a pretty good mood. Ergo, she thought that he had let the matter slide. Who would have thought that he had remembered it from morning till now.

Song Yu approached him carefully after seeing his scornful expression. She pressed her body against his arm with her left hand still being held by him. Her right hand slowly slid down along his muscular arm.

Even though he was thickly wrapped in a suit and an outer coat, she could still feel the prominent edges and lines on his arm.

At last, her soft, warm palm reached the back of his hand and she could clearly feel the knuckles and bones on it.

Just like that, she wrapped his palm in both her hands.

“At first, I was quite happy when I received the flowers before looking at the sender’s card because I thought you were the one who sent it. When I found out later that it wasn’t you, I immediately gave it to the receptionist,” Song Yu said softly in embarrassment. She was rather disappointed when she discovered that he was not the sender.

She really wanted to say that it was his fault for forgetting what day it was and that he should not blame others if they had seized the opportunity to do so.

However, she did not have the guts to say it in the end.

Qi Chengzhi’s eyebrows relaxed and he caressed the smooth skin on the back of her hand with his thumb. “What was written on the card?”

“Nothing special. He just apologized for the Red Roof incident and mentioned to drop him a call if I were to forgive him,” Song Yu said honestly. There was nothing to hide anyway.

He sneered and said sarcastically in a low voice, “Hypocrite.”

“Did you call?” he asked after a while.

“Of course not. Didn’t you tear up the business card? I don’t even have his number,” she said gently.

“So you’ll call him if you have it?” he sniggered, his pitch-black pupils rolled to the corner of his eyes to give her the side-eye.

“Qi Chengzhi, you’re being unreasonable! You know that I won’t call him even if I have his number. I can roughly guess Li Zhuoan’s motives. Since I’m already with you, why would I stir up unnecessary trouble?” Song Yu gave up on comforting him. She also thought of forgoing the stuff in the bedroom because she did not want to give it to him anymore.

His actions were insufferable.

She had never met such a petty man!

She let go of his hand angrily and wanted to shake off the other hand that he was holding.

However, he held onto her hand tightly, and no matter how hard she tried to shake him off, her efforts were futile.

“Stop it.” Qi Chengzhi continued holding her hand firmly and told her to behave.

“…”, Song Yu’s cheeks were all puffed up. Who was the ill-behaved one!

How could he be so petty over such a trivial thing, it’s not like she did something unfaithful.

Song Yu gave up trying to release her hand from his and let him hold on to it. However, her legs moved in the opposite direction to distance herself from him. She turned her head to face the elevator wall, refusing to look at him.

Qi Chengzhi swept a glance at her, disdained at her childish behaviour. In that instant, he shifted his legs to inch closer to her.

When he moved closer, Song Yu backed sideways but Qi Chengzhi closed in further. A few steps later, Song Yu found herself pressed against the wall by him.

Qi Chengzhi spun her around and she was facing him directly, with her back against the wall.

He embraced her in his arms and pressed onto her body. Song Yu could feel the burning warmth radiating from his body.

When Qi Chengzhi lowered his head to inch closer to her, she could smell the refreshing scent from his body, mixed slightly with the icy whiff of frost.

He closed in bit by bit until the tip of his nose was dangerously close to hers, and his scorching breath that was mixed with a hint of tobacco wafted her lips.

“Still want to act up?” he said softly. His tone was so mellow, it was as if it formed a tiny stream, smoothly seeping into her mouth.

“…”, it was obviously him acting up, how could he pin this on her!

Song Yu was riled up by his voice, causing her body to tingle and tremble. She used her free hand to push against his chest. “Get off me, don’t squash me like this!”

“You’re always the one who presses onto me, why can’t I do it for once?” Qi Chengzhi pressed closely onto her and jerked in between her legs suddenly.

Song Yu took a shaky breath. This man was a professional hooligan, rolling obscenities off the tip of his tongue so effortlessly. Given his usual serious and solemn demeanor, no one would have ever imagined his actual behavior beneath that facade.

Her face was blushing furiously, it was so hot as if it was going to explode. She was speechless in that instant, the feeling of helplessness was similar to that of a scholar trying to reason with a soldier.

“Can’t you just behave nicely?” she said helplessly in a low, softened voice while trembling. “There’s a surveillance camera inside the elevator. If someone sees us like this…”

The elevator finally came to a halt. Only then Qi Chengzhi stopped pressing onto her.

Her reddened face looked so tender and ravishing in his eyes, especially with her head lowered, not daring to look at him. Even though she said no, she did not exert much force on her hand and just let him nestle upon her.

Qi Chengzhi’s emotions heightened for a moment that he almost lost control.

He lowered his head to capture her soft lips, where he took his time to suck them before releasing her.

At that moment, Song Yu was already in a daze. She did not notice when he dragged her out of the elevator. She just let him hold her hand obediently and followed him blindly.

After walking a few steps, the unusually strong wind blew her back to her senses. Only then she realized that she had followed Qi Chengzhi to the rooftop.

Song Yu gaped in awe when she saw a greenhouse made of glass. In it was a big rose blooming like a sea of flowers.

The upper half of the transparent greenhouse reflected the midnight blue of the night sky. The sea of roses gleamed brilliantly under the illumination of the dazzling lights in the greenhouse.

“For you.” A bloom of rainbow rose appeared in front of Song Yu’s eyes the moment Qi Chengzhi’s mellow voice resonated above her head.

Song Yu lifted her head and looked at him in surprise.

‘Is this man romancing her now?’ she thought.

There were no unusual signs on Qi Chengzhi’s face, save for his earlobes reddening a little, but Song Yu did not notice them.

“I heard that these rainbow roses had to be pre-ordered, but I didn’t manage to buy it today. It took me some effort to find only one of these.” His tone was very indifferent, as if he did not care at all. “There are 1314 blooms of roses in this greenhouse. These red roses were transplanted here. I’ll ask Aunt Yang to look after them and also get some experts over to check on them routinely.”

“You did all of this today?” Song Yu asked in shock. She was sure that he had absolutely no idea what today was before he called her in the morning.

“…”, Qi Chengzhi glanced at her and scoffed, “What’s so great about 99 stalks, childish.”

His words indirectly implied his acquiescence. Even though it was rather childish, Song Yu was still very moved by him.

A man like him was willing to spend his effort on something like this for her. It was not an easy task to transplant that amount of roses and set up the greenhouse in such a short period of time.

To a man like Qi Chengzhi, he would think that these things are pointless, a waste of manpower and money.

Nevertheless, he still did these things that were deemed pointless.

Song Yu lowered her head to look at the rainbow rose in her hand, then looked up at Qi Chengzhi. Coincidentally, he was also looking right at her, his deep, dark eyes filled with tenderness. There was also a slight hint of uneasiness on his charming face. It seemed like it was his first time doing something like this.

“Thank you.” She lifted her head to have a clear view of his bright features. She took a small step towards him and slowly touched his waist with her arms before surrounding it shyly and buried herself in his arms.

Her face was placed right at the position of his heart. She could feel his strong heartbeat. It seemed to beat a little faster than usual at that moment.

Song Yu nestled in his arms. She could not feel the cold from the chilly wind blowing on the rooftop after being wrapped by him like this.

She could not resist and tightened her arms and said softly, “Actually, even if you had only given me one stalk, no matter how many more flowers others have gifted, it’ll still pale in comparison to yours. Thank you, for making an effort for me on this Valentine’s Day.”

His romance may be a little pretentious and clumsy, but it was extraordinarily valuable because it was from a man as magnificent as him.

She could also feel his arms tightening around her. His chin gently perched on top of her head. Then, he lowered his head slowly with his lips searching for the hem of her hairline. They followed it and moved downwards, kissing her temples and the corner of her eyes.

“Raise your head,” his raspy voice resonated beside her eyes. She felt her eyes hot from the touch of his kisses.

Song Yu felt a little feverish. She lifted her head obediently, her flushing cheeks met with his burning gaze, causing a violent spasm in her abdomen.

His strong arms wrapped around her firmly while he lowered his head to bury his soft lips into hers. His lips looked quite stern but they had such a tender sensation. His warm lips grazed gently on hers, nibbling and sucking both her upper and lower lips, exploring every single inch.

Song Yu felt her lips were numb and trembling uncontrollably. When he shoved his tongue in her, she had no strength left at all.

After he released her, she pressed her forehead against his chest and panted heavily. Without any warning, she lifted her head and asked, “It’s considered a violation to build a greenhouse on the rooftop, right?”

Qi Chengzhi, “…”

“I’m kidding,” Song Yu teased jokingly. Both of her hands were holding onto his coat at the back while she tickled him by drawing circles with her fingertips on his lower back.

Qi Chengzhi’s expression turned dark. His eyes burst into flames under her tickles. He tightened his arms in a swift motion and pressed her onto his bulge.

Song Yu swallowed her saliva sheepishly and wanted to back away at that moment. With Qi Chengzhi’s current condition, it would be adding fuel to the fire if she gave him the present she had prepared.

Nonetheless, considering his efforts, Song Yu mentioned, “I have a gift for you too.”

Qi Chengzhi raised his eyebrow. “What?”

“Follow me.” Song Yu released her arms that were hugging him and held his hand.

“Just one moment.” Qi Chengzhi tugged her hand.

Song Yu looked at him with a puzzled expression as he reached out his hand. “Give me your cell phone.”

“What are you trying to do?” She still trusted him even though she felt a little odd. She took out the cell phone from her pocket and placed it on his palm.

He took her by the hand and unlocked the greenhouse to let her in. Then, he brought her to the center of the greenhouse and looked around before nodding with satisfaction. “Great, now stand here and don’t move.”

While Qi Chengzhi was speaking, he backed away step by step until he reached the entrance. Suddenly, he asked, “What’s that next to your foot?”

Song Yu naturally lowered her head to look at it.

‘Snap’, Qi Chengzhi already captured it with a swift click.

The captured moment was splendid. Song Yu was holding the rainbow rose with both her hands. When she lowered her head after being tricked by Qi Chengzhi, she looked like she was taking in the scent of the rose in the picture. She was surrounded by a sea of flowers, the image was so magnificent that it felt surreal.

Qi Chengzhi quickly used Song Yu’s phone to post a status on her WeChat Moments: “Thank you for making such a wonderful memory for me today.”

Attached below the post was the photo that he had taken seconds ago.

By the time Song Yu walked over, she was just in the nick of time to see Qi Chengzhi uploading the post.

Song Yu, “…”

Qi Chengzhi kept a straight face as he returned the phone to Song Yu. He said in a steady tone, “I heard that women like to show off the gifts that they have received from men, especially on days like this. Apparently, social media gets flooded with such posts.”
