18 – I’m So Handsome, My Girlfriend Must Be Stunning
“No, not at all!” Xing Chun’s eyes and brows fluttered with panic, a flicker of disappointment passing through.
She took a sip of tea to shift her mood. “Tell me about it, your love story with President Ye.”
“There’s not much to tell.”
“Since we have nothing else to do now…” Xing Chun cooed, “Mimi~”
Chi Mi gave a brief account.
After hearing it, Xing Chun collapsed onto the table, laughing uncontrollably until tears nearly streamed from her eyes.
“President Ye must have been furious with you. You didn’t even understand his innuendo…”
“Innuendo?” Chi Mi looked confused. “What innuendo?”
“A man’s eager anticipation…” Xing Chun covered her lips. “Even though President Ye hasn’t been in a relationship, as a man, he’s not exactly pure…”
President Ye’s innuendo was far too subtle.
So subtle that Chi Mi hadn’t even caught it.
Chi Mi curled her lips into a smile. “Is that what he meant?”
“Probably… Mimi, you’re so beautiful, even I want to…”
Chi Mi laughed. “As much as I appreciate it, I like men.”
Xing Chun pretended to cry. “Why the hell am I not a man! In this lifetime, I can’t be with Mimi…”
Chi Mi said, “Being with me comes with a lot of pressure. Does your family fortune have enough for my brother to squander?”
Xing Chun: “Chi Mi, you’re such a ‘brother-worshipper’!”
Chi Mi: ┐(￣ヮ￣)┌
As the two ate, Chi Mi’s phone screen lit up.
It was a message from Ye Zhuohuai.
[Ye Zhuohuai: Sweetheart, you promised to send me a photo last night! Where is it?????]
A photo?
She had forgotten.
[Ye Zhuohuai: Bad Mimi, breaking your promise. I want it now! Send it to me quickly!]
Chi Mi didn’t like taking photos and had none saved on her phone.
She handed her phone to Xing Chun. “Take a photo of me.”
“For President Ye?”
“Yeah.”
Chi Mi’s lips curved slightly. “Hurry up.”
Xing Chun stared at the screen. “Let your hair down.”
Chi Mi maintained her smile. “No, just take it like this.”
“You’re being so casual with the esteemed President Ye.” Xing Chun snapped a few photos. “Damn it! No matter how I take it, you look absolutely stunning, Mimi!”
Chi Mi didn’t even bother editing the photo before sending it directly to Ye Zhuohuai.
She didn’t even include a single word—just a lonely photo.
After sending it, she picked up her chopsticks and continued eating.
On the other end, Ye Zhuohuai received Chi Mi’s photo. His sweetheart was so beautiful!
Wait, the background of the photo looked like An City, and the sky matched the outside. It must have been taken just now.
Both of Mimi’s hands were on the table, meaning someone else had taken it for her.
Who took it?
Who was she eating with?
“Sister-in-law really is a beauty! Brother Zhuohuai won’t even bring her out to meet us!”
“Even the young master of the Chi family is so handsome, so the eldest daughter must be breathtakingly beautiful. Brother Zhuohuai was completely smitten at first sight, couldn’t take his eyes off her.”
Shang Liqi and Jiang Qianli chimed in one after another.
“Someone as handsome as me naturally deserves a girlfriend who is peerlessly beautiful and captivating.” Ye Zhuohuai stood up proudly. “I’ll bring her to meet you all someday.”
First, he needed to call his sweetheart and ask who she was eating with.
He was jealous!
Ye Zhuohuai walked to the balcony. “Baby, who are you eating with?”
“Xing Chun. A girl.”
Hearing her answer, Ye Zhuohuai couldn’t help but smile. She was quite self-aware.
“Where are you? I’ll come pick you up later.”
“No need! We girls are just chatting and having fun. No time for you today. See you next time, bye.” Chi Mi hung up after saying this.
Listening to the dial tone, Ye Zhuohuai saved the photo Chi Mi had sent and gleefully set it as his wallpaper.
His sweetheart was so beautiful—it was only natural for her to have a bit of a temper!
In the restaurant, Xing Chun gave Chi Mi a thumbs-up. “You’re really something!”
“Men can be indulged, but not too much. Keep them at arm’s length, give them a slap and then a sweet treat, just reel them in.” Chi Mi had just put down her phone when she saw Ye Zhuohuai had sent her a selfie.
[Ye Zhuohuai: Tit for tat. Look at this when you miss me!]
Who misses him!
So narcissistic!
[Ye Zhuohuai: Or you can call me, and I’ll come keep you company myself.]
Chi Mi: (─▽─)╭
How could someone be so full of themselves!
Xing Chun teased her. “You’re such an expert on love now? I never saw you act like this with that Yang guy before.”
“Before, I was busy with my studies, and it was a long-distance relationship. Besides, Yang Siquan pursued me actively, and I never had strong feelings for him anyway. Ye Zhuohuai is different—I have to reel him in, keep him hooked. If we break up now, the Chi family would truly be finished.” Chi Mi glanced at the photo out of the corner of her eye.
A selfie, and he even made a heart with his fingers.
Just seeing his face reminded her of the intermittent kisses in the private room’s restroom at noon—her first kiss with someone, and in such an environment, being kissed for so long.
“You’re blushing! What naughty thoughts are you having?” Xing Chun also blushed in embarrassment. “Tell me, and I’ll analyze it for you.”
Chi Mi was too embarrassed to share the details of her first kiss. “I was thinking, if Yang Siquan’s injuries were really caused by Ye Zhuohuai, he didn’t mention a single word about it to me.”
“You two haven’t been together for long. President Ye hasn’t won your heart yet. If you found out about Yang Siquan’s injuries and felt sorry for that Yang guy, with his proud personality, he’d be furious!”
“He’s so petty. If he ever dies, it’ll be from anger.” Chi Mi shrugged it off. “Yang Siquan got hurt? I’m thrilled about it. Feeling sorry for that scumbag would only happen if my heart were broken.”
Not only did Chi Mi not feel sorry, she even wanted to set off fireworks to celebrate.
Too bad there was a ban on fireworks and firecrackers within An City.
The next day.
Chi Mi went to Jinge Hospital. After discussing with the patient scheduled for surgery the next day, she returned to her office and saw an unfamiliar middle-aged woman.
“Are you Chi Mi?”
She was here specifically for her?
She didn’t look like Ye Zhuohuai’s mother—not even the slightest resemblance.
“May I ask who you are?” Chi Mi asked calmly.
“Yang Siquan is my son!”
“Oh. What can I do for you, Auntie? We’ve already broken up.” Chi Mi walked past her and calmly sat down. “I heard he was injured. Shouldn’t you be taking care of him in his hospital room instead of coming to see me? Or are you here to ask me to take care of him?”
Mrs. Yang scrutinized Chi Mi. She was indeed beautiful—just her eyes alone were captivating, a natural seductress!
Why was she even a doctor?
If she debuted in the entertainment industry, she’d definitely be a top-tier star!
“His injuries are because of you! Don’t you feel even a shred of guilt?” Mrs. Yang fumed. “You’re in the same hospital, yet you haven’t even gone to see him. How can you be so ungrateful after all the affection he’s shown you over the years?”
“Auntie, what era is this? Breakups and makeups are normal in relationships. Just because we broke up, am I supposed to be responsible for the rest of his life?” Chi Mi sneered coldly. “What does his injury have to do with me?”
“It was your new boyfriend who did it!! Ye Zhuohuai beat him up!”
“Then go find Ye Zhuohuai.” Chi Mi calmly typed on her keyboard. She hated being disturbed while working the most.
This was a hospital, not a madhouse.
“Mrs. Yang doesn’t dare to confront him, so she comes to me, trying to intimidate me. Do you think I feel sorry for your son, or do you think Ye Zhuohuai cares more about me?” Chi Mi glanced at her briefly.
She really couldn’t understand the Yang family’s values.
She must have been out of her mind to ever date Yang Siquan.
Just thinking about it now made her shudder, nauseous, and sick to her stomach.
“You don’t feel even a hint of remorse? Siquan is still lying in a hospital bed, and you haven’t even gone to see him!” Mrs. Yang raged.
