Chapter 008: You guys aren't involved? I don't believe it_1

From his position by the window on the third floor, Chi Jingxuan looked down at the scene with a cold expression, a flicker of inquisitiveness passing through his eyes.

Just how many faces does she have?

Upon their first meeting, the situation was so unfavorable to her, yet she still managed to turn the tables at the most critical moment, preventing herself from sinking deeper into the mire.

Upon seeing her again, that woman in Golden Age, with her beauty so enchanting, made him mistake her for one of the disreputable professionals from that place.

When such a suspicion arose, an inexplicable surge of anger bubbled within him, a sensation he himself found utterly baffling.

And then, there was last night's impulsive violation.

Now, just a few hours later, here she was again in this café, pure and vibrant, instantly overturning all prior negative speculations about her.

With so many changing faces, which one is truly her?

Although it was a mere fleeting glance and he couldn't hear the conflict between the two downstairs, just from his observations and thoughts, Chi Jingxuan reconstructed the actual truth of the matter.

He saw her covering her reddened back of the hand, politely explaining something, while that young woman who was exploiting the situation kept pressing in an even more aggressive manner, as if demanding Qin Yuji to compensate for what seemed to be an expensive dress.

Sure enough, the manager arrived shortly afterwards.

Chi Jingxuan turned back and saw Chi Yunxi looking at him with a playful glint in her eyes.

Her words carried an indescribable surprise, "Aren't you going to explain something to me? If you say you have nothing to do with that girl, I'd hardly believe it..."

If it wasn't because this place was close to Dijing Group, Chi Jingxuan, with his taste, would never come to such a mediocre café. But if not for that, how could she witness such a jaw-dropping scene?

Her brother, cold as an ice cube, who couldn't be bothered to give a glance to the opposite sex, was actually staring at a girl for so long?

If the elders back home saw this, they'd probably be overwhelmed with tears of joy, wouldn't they?

The Chi family was a highly esteemed aristocratic family in M City, with publicly assessable assets ranking first in M City, far surpassing the second-ranking aristocratic family by a great margin, not to mention the numerous assets unknown to outsiders.

As the sole heir of this generation's Chi family, Chi Jingxuan, in both his career and personal life, was closely and keenly watched by everyone.

Since taking over control of Dijing Group after returning from studying abroad at the age of eighteen, no young woman had appeared by Chi Jingxuan's side for ten years.

Entertainment newspapers and online rumors dared not speculate about Chi Jingxuan unfavorably, but the veiled conjectures within the circles of the wealthy were enough to cause frustration within the Chi family.

Rumors claimed that Chi Jingxuan had "problems" with his sexual orientation, which is why he didn't have girlfriends or lovers, not even a scandal to speak of, over so many years.

Because of this, the elders in the Chi family, through threats and bribes, tried to make Chi Jingxuan marry and have children sooner rather than later, to shatter those groundless rumors and to fulfill their wish to hold great-grandchildren. Unfortunately, things didn't go their way.

If only time could flow backward ten minutes, Chi Yunxi genuinely wished she could have captured that scene and brought it back to claim credit in front of the elders.

"What do you say, want to go down and play the hero?"

Chi Yunxi picked up her cup, sipped her coffee, glanced at Qin Yuji who was listening to the manager and holding her hand, then turned back to Chi Jingxuan.

Such trivia didn't require Chi Jingxuan's intervention; a mere gesture of his finger, no, a single glance would suffice.

Chi Jingxuan hesitated for a moment, then shook his head, "I have no involvement with her. Her matters are of no concern to me."

"Really?"

With a disbelieving shrug and an even more graceful smile, Chi Yunxi pressed, "Then why did you hesitate?"

Yes, why did he hesitate?
