Two-Faced Husband, Have Some Decency!

Panda Novel

Song Yu just felt confused because she did not know what was it that came over him. His feelings were just like a thunderstorm, coming in bursts and bursts.

Yan Beicheng insisted on watching the five of them leaving, just in case something happened.

The others began walking; they followed behind Qi Chengzhi and went into the room.

Li Qianyi’s clique did not notice Gao Jingqiu ¹ ‘s incongruous behavior, but Qi Chenglin and the group sure did.

It was especially so when Qi Chengzhi kissed Song Yu; Gao Jingqiu’s [1] face tensed up in bitter agony.

Qi Chengzhi slew his rival in love with almost no effort.

Of course, the facial expressions on Li Qianyi and her other friends were no better than Li Zhouan’s and it made for a splendid sight.

After Yan Beicheng came back to the room, everyone’s mood seemed unaffected by everything that happened just moments ago outside. After all, they would scarcely have taken the matter to heart if those small fry were regarded as insignificant people.

No one suggested to continue having fun at some other place after dinner. The addition of Song Yu felt like any other day to them. They were not the kind of people who would go to nightclubs just to find women to frolic around with, since each of them were boastful and proud people.

Previously, when Yan Beicheng just came back to the country, a bunch of rich entrepreneurs’ kids ²  hosted a welcoming reception for him in a bar. In the private room of that bar, all of them immediately engaged in an orgy. Yan Beicheng was disgusted. Even though he did not leave, he sat by himself at a corner and was bored to death. One of the women tried hitting him up but she was asked to leave him alone.

Qi Chengzhi remembered that Song Yu had work tomorrow and should not be going to bed too late, so he called Chang Lai to bring the car over.

The others, after having some drinks themselves, called their own drivers as well.

Before going up the car, Qi Chenglin and Wei Zilin shouted, “Bye, sis-in-law!”, causing Song Yu to feel embarrassed.

…

…

On the car, Song Yu felt bored, so she took out her phone and logged into her WeChat to see if there were any messages for her.

To her surprise, Ruan Danchen’s message was the first thing she saw after logging in.

[Song Yu! I saw you getting on a Range Rover! It’s Qi Chengzhi’s isn’t it? Come on little girl, you think no one would see you if you left the office late? I knew there was something going on when you were trying to drag your time in the office!] ³

Song Yu heart thumped madly, and she had something of a guilty conscience. The feeling was not unlike that of getting caught in an affair.

The way Qi Chengzhi kissed her after she went up the car made her feel especially guilty, despite the fact that the car windows’ tint being thick enough that Ruan Danchen could not have possibly have seen it.

She snuck a peek at Qi Chengzhi and saw him sitting primly. He looked especially sanctimonious then, perhaps because his driver, Chang Lai, was in the car.

Looking at the side profile of his face in the duskiness of the car, he seemed sterner and graver, like a carving from one of the great masters.

Song Yu’s face reddened as she withdrew her gaze. Before she could think clearly, her brain typed feverishly and she sent a simple [Mm…].

Ruan Danchen seemed to have her WeChat open constantly, for she replied with loads of exclamation marks barely moments after Song Yu’s message was sent.

[ ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ]

[You’re really getting close with him???!!!]

Before Song Yu could even reply, Qi Chengzhi was already looking in her direction. He asked in a deep tone, “Why is your face red?”

“Nothing, maybe the car’s air-condition is a bit warm,” Song Yu mumbled as she beat around the bush.

Her expression, though, was nothing short of guilty, so Qi Chengzhi squinted his eyes and looked unemotively at her.

His look only served to make her even more sheepish. She hid her gaze and dared not look at him.

“Who are you texting with?” Qi Chengzhi asked. His expression seemed displeased.

‘Her face became red just from texting, is she texting with a man?’

“A colleague.” Afraid that he might misunderstand, Song Yu added, “Ruan Danchen, actually.”

Qi Chengzhi raised an eyebrow. ‘Why the hell would her face be so red if she was talking with a woman?’

“What are you talking about?” He leaned closer to try and peek at it.

Noticing his presence inching ever closer, Song Yu covered the screen hurriedly and kept her phone.

“Nothing!” She was quite embarrassed to let him see what Ruan Danchen said, especially in light of her indirectly admitting her relationship with Qi Chengzhi. It made her seem rather thick-faced.

However, Qi Chengzhi was one step ahead of her and he managed to snatch the phone away.

“Don’t take it!” Song Yu grabbed his arm, but no matter what she did, her arm was no match for his.

“Why can’t I see it? What’s so shameful?” He held the phone and stretched her arm out so she would not be able to reach it.

Song Yu remembered that Chang Lai was in the car. She was embarrassed to make too much of a fuss and she also could not stick herself directly into Qi Chengzhi’s chest. All she could do was to release her grip resentfully and let her feelings sink into despair.

She sat there uncomfortably with her reddened complexion and dared not look at what Qi Chengzhi’s reaction would be after he read the text. Her head was lowered to the point where her chin was nearly touching her collarbone.

Looking at how she stopped grabbing and instead lowered her head as if having a guilty conscience, Qi Chengzhi snickered in his heart and proceeded to read the text.

Like dark clouds opening up to reveal a clear sky, his countenance brightened up considerably.

By and large, it was her reply, “Mm…”, that made his lips curl up even more.

“How do you plan on replying?” He smiled and looked askance at her. His gratified low voice were like tentacles that tickled her heart.

“I’ll reply tomorrow!” Song Yu blushed and took the phone back.

His expression seemed to suggest that he was teasing her for being so thick-faced. It made her feel very much ashamed.

Qi Chengzhi sneered gently and glanced at her phone. He asked insipidly, “What app is that?”

Song Yu turned and looked at him in shock, with her mouth wide agape. It never crossed her mind that Qi Chengzhi would ever ask that kind of question. “It’s WeChat. Don’t you know what that is? Everyone’s using it, from eighty-year-old ladies to three-year-old children. Even my parents use it every day at home! You really don’t know about it?”

It was obvious that Qi Chengzhi was being looked down upon. His expression was sullen and he remained silent; his simply looked ahead and sat still.

Knowing that his pettiness had acted up, she ignored him. Both of them remained silent and simply sat there, causing Chang Lai to feel great psychological pressure.

After a moment of silence, a cell phone was suddenly thrown over to Song Yu’s lap. As soon as she looked down, she heard Qi Chengzhi say, “Download it for me.”

Song Yu knew what to do next from her brief, prior experiences. Saying nothing further, she downloaded WeChat for him and once the download was complete, she prodded his arm with the phone.

Qi Chengzhi looked down and she said, “You have to create a password yourself.”

He looked at her. Instead of taking the phone, he said, “You create one for me. Use my birthdate and yours.”

“Well, you should do it yourself. I don’t know when your birthday is,” Song Yu said without thinking much.

The creases of Qi Chengzhi’s thin lips formed a line, while the deepness of his gaze produced numbness in her head. “March seventeenth. Remember it.”

Like an obedient student, she nodded in silence and entered his desired numbers.

As soon as it was logged in, it was only natural that Qi Chengzhi had no friends. He twitched his lips and said, “Add your number.”

Song Yu fiddled with the phone and showed it to Qi Chengzhi. “Done.”

“Are you Feather ⁴ ?” Qi Chengzhi saw the screen pop up with a close friend. Her icon was even that of a cartoon feather.

“Yup.” Song Yu nodded. Qi Chengzhi was still Qi Chengzhi, as he had yet to set his nickname.

“Change your name.” His bony fingers tapped his knee a few times. “Change it to ‘The Qi Family’s Xiao Yu’.”

“…” Song Yu dawdled for some time before mumbling, “That… I have lots of friends and also colleagues from the company, they can easily make the connection. They’ll gossip if they saw that name. Even from the very beginning, people thought I got the business in exchange for sleeping with you. If they saw such a name, I can’t imagine what else they’d say.”

“Also, my parents are on WeChat too. My mom once warned me not to get involved with you. If she saw it, she’d definitely intervene.”

Qi Chengzhi pursed his lips again and looked intently at her.

It was a look that always caused her scalp to feel numb, as though she had committed some great misdeed.

Song Yu held his arm immediately to try and curry favor with him. “We can change the settings for this. If you want, I can change the settings so it becomes something only the two of us can see. The result will be the same.”

Qi Chengzhi remained silent for some time but nodded reluctantly in the end. “Mm.”

Without further ado, Song Yu immediately set the name to ‘The Qi Family’s Xiao Yu’. When she logged in, she felt as though her phone was exceptionally warm. Looking at those five words made her heart go wild.

When Song Yu was setting up everything for Qi Chengzhi, he took her phone silently and opened the chat with Ruan Danchen.

Song Yu had yet to reply Ruan Danchen’s question.

It took only a few simple taps for Qi Chengzhi to understand how WeChat worked.

He chose a shy emoji and added another word behind it. “Mm.”

After sending the message, he took advantage of Song Yu’s inattentiveness and slyly slipped the phone beside her thigh.

“Done.” Song Yu handed Qi Chengzhi’s phone back to him. Beside the icon of the cartoon feather, the word ‘Feather’ was replaced with ‘The Qi Family’s Xiao Yu.”

Qi Chengzhi’s mood turned exceptionally good. The sullenness in his expression dispersed and there was a twinkle in his eyes as he saw those five words. The more he looked at them, the more he liked it.

He raised his eyebrow and looked at Song Yu. Then, he pointed at the screen of her phone and said, “Change your settings for my name too. Change it to ‘My Boss’.”

“If I change it to that name, what if I mistake it for Director Zhao’s text?” Song Yu said that on purpose because she felt that his name change request was too intimate!

“…” Qi Chengzhi looked intently at her, causing her to wonder if he knew the destructive effect of such gazes toward her.

He pursed his lips and snickered. “You added Zhao Rongcheng as your friend?”

“No, of course not,” Song Yu blurted out the truth without thinking. She regretted it immediately after finishing her words and seeing Qi Chengzhi squint at her.

Qi Chengzhi said nothing but simply scoffed. His mocking tone was obvious.

Song Yu looked down and kept quiet. Then she changed the settings earnestly.

…

…

The car stopped right below the apartment. Song Yu felt awkward. It was not the first time that Qi Chengzhi sent her home, but it was the first time that he did so with their new status.

“Well… I’ll be heading up. Take care on the road,” Song Yu looked down and said. She was slightly afraid to look at him. Her reddened face was illuminated by light that shone through the dark car windows.

She fluttered her eyelashes and opened the car door immediately to get down.

Right after that, she heard the sound of another car door closing behind her. Qi Chengzhi had followed her down.

She thought that Qi Chengzhi would follow her up and she was just about to decline, since she knew that it would spell trouble for her to invite Qi Chengzhi into her home.

To her surprise, he simply stood in front of her and held her hand.

“You’re just going to go up like that?” Qi Chengzhi’s low voice seemed to tickle her itch as it resonated in her mind.

Song Yu looked up. Her momentary confusion turned to clarity of understanding once she saw the burning fire in his eyes.

She hesitated for a while and looked into the car. The tint was much darker in the night and she could not see a thing.

“Chang Lai won’t look.” Qi Chengzhi squeezed her palm and urged.

‘Could this man stop being so smart?’

Song Yu was not too happy after being exposed just like that.

She had never initiated a kiss before. If she did so at that moment, it would amount to affirming her relationship.

By bringing her to meet with Yan Beicheng that evening, he was quietly trying to set her mind at ease and show that he was serious. Even so, she was not completely at peace and there was always the slight feeling that everything was unreal. She was afraid of jumping to conclusions too early with the relationship, and at that moment, she could not contain her shyness.

After much holding back and hesitation, she could no longer withstand his fixed eyes and penetrating stare. She felt numbness in her mind. His appearance as of then seemed to force her into making a decision and prevent her from shying away.

Song Yu closed her eyes while her heart was beating madly. She summoned up the courage and lightly kissed him.

With that kiss, it felt like that chapter had been closed and she had – by her own volition – acknowledged their relationship.

Qi Chengzhi’s eyes looked even more intense and pulled her abruptly into his embrace in order to give her a solid kiss on the lips.

His arms were wrapped tightly around her waist. In her nervousness and anxiousness, she felt her lower belly pressing against the heat below his belt. She could feel the heat getting more intense with the utmost clarity.

Being much taller than her, he was lowering his head to kiss her, so much so that there was even a slight hunch to his back. Her head was made to curl backward and such an action was quite intimate in nature.

His released her from his lips only when she was shivering from his heat.

He pressed on her lower back with his warm palm and pinned himself to her lower belly. He rocked his hips and placed his lips close to her ear. His voice was hoarse and the warmth of his breath caressed her ears. “Can you feel it?”

Song Yu was afraid to move and she also did not dare to touch him. It never crossed her mind that a simple kiss could elicit such a reaction from him.

“I need to go up…” Her voice was as soft as a mosquito’s hum. It was soft, as if she was weak and had little strength.

Her hands did not dare to push him, and the fact that he was pressing on her lower abdomen made her dread simply moving her hands around. All she could do was remain still in his embrace.

Her blush traveled all the way up to her ears, then down toward her shirt collar.

Seeing all that made Qi Chengzhi’s heart flutter. The arousal that he had was simply indescribable.

His moist lips shifted slowly from her ear to her cheek, rubbing gently against them once in a while. He saw as her cheek became redder and redder, while she felt hotter and hotter.

Her drooping eyelashes made her seem exceptionally beautiful under the moonlight.

With an unrelenting sigh, he finally let go of her. His voice was filled with regret as he said, “Go up then.”

Song Yu did not hesitate because she knew that if things continued as before, she was afraid she would not be able to control herself from getting lost in his seduction.

Feeling anxious, she turned around and ran for home without even managing to bid him goodbye.

Qi Chengzhi could not help chuckling and shaking his head as she disappeared into the building as though she was running for her life.

It was only when the lights in her apartment were lit up that he went back in the car and asked Chang Lai to begin driving.

…

…

Song Yu laid down on the bed with her face still warm. It was like she was roasted over fire while having a fever.

Beside her hand, her cell phone was vibrating constantly and the notification light on the top left corner was also blinking incessantly.

She tapped into her WeChat and saw a screenful of messages from Ruan Danchen. All of them were exclamation marks.

Ruan Danchen’s endless slew of messages still continued to pop up on the screen.
