Depressed wife runs with the ball

Chapter 119 My Fiancee is Afraid of the Cold

After getting up in the morning, packing up, checking out, and returning to Qiancheng, Chu Yue sat in the passenger seat, looking at her phone. Ji Yan still hadn't replied to her message, and neither had Su Ying. She was a little worried. She was returning to Qiancheng today, and would have to go to the airport to return to Jinyue tomorrow.

"Back to Qiancheng, do you want to go back to the old house for dinner?"

The exhibition has been fermenting on the Internet for so many days, and the old man might also want to ask about it.

"No! I'm going to pick up Jin Yue tomorrow. I'll stop by the Chu family villa on the way. I've thought about it and decided to let Jin Yue live there. When he graduates and comes back to inherit Anjie Technology, he'll have to live there too. It's not good to leave it empty all the time. Besides, I have to go to the prison to see my mom."

She felt ashamed when she thought about how she hadn't saved enough money to buy a car after working for so many years. But she didn't want to borrow Zhou Xingzhi's Maybach either, as it was too conspicuous. She could only ask Ji Yan to borrow his Audi.

The old man sent him a message, saying he wanted to talk to him about work. Tomorrow was the weekend, and if he went back to the old house, he wouldn't have time to accompany her to do these things. He couldn't say that he couldn't let her go to pick up her brother.

"How about I ask the driver to take you?"

"No. I can do it myself."

Chu Yue took out her snacks from her bag, tore open the packaging and started eating.

"Give me some." Zhou Xingzhi was driving the car. Seeing that she was eating so happily, he also became greedy.

"I have to go to Ji Yan's bar tonight. They haven't replied to my WeChat messages." She tore open the package and handed it to his mouth.

Zhou Xingzhi was a little unhappy. Why was he still worried about Ji Yan? "Tonight is the closing ceremony. I need to change into my formal attire when I get back to the company. Have you thought about what you want to say tonight?"

"Oh, I almost forgot. I have to work overtime tonight!" She took out her iPad to check, and then looked at the official account of Xinghui Group, which contained some pictures and videos of the Youth Art Festival.

"Are you still having dinner with Teacher Yang tonight?"

Zhou Xingzhi saw the old iPad again and thought he had to take her to buy an iPad first. "Let's go buy an iPad first." It would only be afternoon when they got back, so there was plenty of time.

Chu Yue slept all the way and woke up in the underground parking lot of the mall. She undid her seat belt and asked, "Where is this?"

"I'm bringing you here to buy an iPad! And you need to replace your computer too."

He took her into the elevator and headed straight to the second-floor store. The scene was similar to when he had asked Ji Yan to come here to repair his iPad. He wasn't trying to replace his iPad; it was clearly jealousy that had caught his eye, remembering how Ji Yan had looked when he'd brought him here to get his iPad replaced.

"What do you need?" Zhou Xingzhi took her to the VIP room, and the waiter brought her lemonade. No wonder she didn't see him when she first came here. There are also exclusive VIP rooms.

"No need, the old one can still be used." Chu Yue felt a little embarrassed.

He asked the waiter to bring the latest iPad and Mac Book, and when he saw that she didn't want to choose one, he had them both packed up and taken away.

"Don't spend money so recklessly next time." It seemed like he had spent quite a bit of money on himself: that watch, the fireworks show when he proposed, the ring on his finger, and now the iPad and the computer.

"How can spending money on my wife be considered wasting money?" He put the things in the trunk and drove back to the company.

When she returned to the company, the stylist was already waiting in the office. A row of dresses stood in the president's office. Every time at this time, Chu Yue always felt like a decoration, standing next to Zhou Xingzhi, like a vase.

She used to be able to tell herself that this was work. Now, something seemed different. The stylist asked her to pick out a dress to change into, but she looked at the couture pieces without a trace of joy.

Suddenly, it seemed that the relationship between her and Zhou Xingzhi was more like mutual exploitation, and not love.

While she was stunned, Zhou Xingzhi picked out a red fishtail dress and said, "You usually like plain colors, why don't you wear something brighter tonight?"

The fishtail dress was very figure-flattering. It had one slanted shoulder and countless roses piled on the chest, the colors were bright and dark, unlike Chu Yue's usual plain and simple style.

"Go try it on?" Zhou Xingzhi tried the dress on her. The red color made her skin look whiter and it suited her very well.

Chu Yue took the dress to the lounge and changed into it, but when she came out she still felt it was not suitable.

"Why don't we just choose a plain one? This one is too colorful." She lowered her head to adjust the hem of her skirt, without having time to see everyone's reactions.

Zhou Xingzhi was sitting on the sofa next to the coffee table, drinking tea and waiting. When he saw her push the door open, his eyes were instantly attracted. This dress was too revealing of her figure and was indeed not suitable to be worn in public.

It was like a red rose blooming before his eyes, and the stylist and makeup artist were also staring in a daze.

"It still doesn't suit me. I'll go change it back." Seeing that they didn't react, Chu Yue still felt that the color was too heavy and not suitable for her.

In the end, she chose a black velvet long dress with silver flowers embroidered on one side.

While the stylist was doing her hair and makeup, Zhou Xingzhi chose a few dresses to keep and let them take the rest.

By the time he finished changing and getting his hair done, it was already past 7:00. The closing ceremony was to begin at 8:00. Worried she'd be cold, Zhou Xingzhi took her down jacket and said, "Let's eat something here before we go. I asked Aunt Tian to make your favorite braised chicken with ginseng and taro."

"Will eating ruin my makeup?" She was a little scared. The vase also needed maintenance.

"It's okay. I'll help you make it up." Zhou Xingzhi took out his cell phone and called Aunt Tian to ask where she was.

When Aunt Tian came and saw Chu Yue, she praised her repeatedly, saying that she was so dignified and elegant that she almost didn't recognize her.

Zhou Xingzhi took out two boxes from the cloakroom in the lounge and asked Aunt Tian to serve the dishes. He took out the earrings from the boxes and said, "Here, I'll put them on for you."

"Let's eat first?" Chu Yue looked at the teardrop-shaped earrings. If they were real diamonds, they would cost hundreds of millions, right?

"Put it on first." He insisted on helping her put it on first. He wanted to laugh when he thought about announcing the news of their upcoming marriage tonight.

Her earlobes were a bit thick and her ear roots were soft, so the earrings were obviously a bit heavy. I let her earlobes hang down a little bit, and worried that she would feel heavy, I took them off again and said, "I'll put them on for you before you go on stage."

Chu Yue hummed softly and sat down to eat. Zhou Xingzhi found her more beautiful the more he watched her eat slowly.

After dinner, the driver drove them to the venue. Zhou Xingzhi got out first and waited for her outside the car door. After seeing her get out, he naturally put his arm around her waist.

"Are you cold? Why don't you put on your down jacket first?"

There were quite a few people around, and if she put on a down jacket, who knew what people would say online tomorrow. She was still worried about what others would say, but Zhou Xingzhi put the down jacket on her without hesitation.

"Would it be bad if someone took a picture of us?" She looked around, worried someone might take out their phone to take a picture. "Taking a picture of someone without their permission is wrong, and you're still thinking about them?"

Hearing him say that, Chu Yue also hardened up, straightened her back, and walked into the venue with her skirt lifted. There was a singer singing on the stage, and the two of them stood below the audience, looking up at the few excellent viewing spots left in the audience, but there were not many people.

"Why aren't your parents here?"

"They are old and it's too noisy here." Zhou Xingzhi looked at the empty seats. It seemed that in order to marry his girlfriend, he would need to exchange some conditions with the old man.

For some things, it's time to come clean.

Chu Yue stood on the rubber track, jumping and stamping her feet. Zhou Xingzhi put the earrings and necklace on her. The moment the cold jewelry touched her skin, she couldn't help but let out a hiss.

"Still cold?" She glanced at the stage. It was almost time, so instead of wearing a down jacket, she could put on her suit jacket. "It's okay. I'll be on stage in a minute. I said just hurry up." She shrugged and prepared to go on stage.

Zhou Xingzhi took off his coat and put it on her, saying, "It's not embarrassing to wear this up there." Chu Yue saw that he was only wearing a gray shirt and his suit jacket still retained his body temperature. She took his wrist and whispered, "Thank you, husband."

The two of them went on stage and took the microphone from the host. Zhou Xingzhi introduced himself to the audience, saying, "Hello everyone, I'm the sponsor. I'm also the fiancé of artist Duobao."

"There are a lot of rumors about my fiancée on the Internet. Uh... We are pursuing the rumormongers..."
