He was dressed in a proper black suit, with long legs and wearing glasses. His eyes and brows were delicate and sharp, his whole person exuded the air of an elite.
"Sorry to have kept you waiting," Chi Gui said as he got out of the car upon seeing Shen Yun, with an apologetic tone.
"Not at all, every time I wait for Lord Chi, I feel especially blessed!" As soon as Shen Yun spoke, every trace of his elite demeanor instantly vanished.
The bodyguard who had followed Chi Gui: ...
He stepped forward to present his credentials to the gate security.
Shen Yun stood beside Chi Gui, looking up at the neighborhood.
Chi Gui’s house was allocated by the state, located deep within a lane in the city center, an old neighborhood, without even an elevator.
The door was one of those very old-fashioned big black iron gates, guarded by soldiers with guns, and the security checks for entering and leaving were extremely strict.
Soon, the bodyguard returned, and the soldiers at the gate opened it.
Chi Gui said, "Get in the car first."
"Okay," Shen Yun followed.
As the car entered the neighborhood, they saw casually dressed older men and women either walking or dancing in the square; there was even someone picking up trash around the neighborhood.
When they saw Chi Gui coming back, they all smiled and greeted her.
Chi Gui politely responded to each one.
Shen Yun, standing quietly by her side, legs together, hands obediently resting on his knees, was as well-behaved as a primary school student.
The first time he came here, he really thought all these were just ordinary older men and women.
At a national-level formal interview, he saw the familiar face of one of the older women. This content belongs to Novᴇl_Fire(.)net
At that moment, he felt like he had been hit with a ton of bricks.
And finally understood that in the neighborhood where Chi Gui lived, anyone was a veteran who had made contributions in various fields to the state, and any statement made could cause a sensation across the internet.
Since then, every time Shen Yun came here, he felt immense pressure, treading carefully with every step.
In his eyes, the young people who could remain comfortable and self-possessed in front of a group of heavyweights, there could only be one Chi Gui in all of Huaxia.
The car turned into the front yard of the neighborhood and slowly stopped in front of a building.
Chi Gui and Shen Yun got out of the car and went up to the third floor.
She took out her keys, opened the door, and instantly a clean and tidy room filled with the warmth of home lay before Shen Yun.
"Lord Chi, I’m always surprised whenever I come to your place," Shen Yun said as he walked in, clicking his tongue, "Judging by your usual appearance, I bet no one would believe you’re so domesticated and good at managing household affairs."
Chi Gui washed her hands in the bathroom, then came out, "Grab whatever you want to drink."
Even when she wasn’t home, someone came to clean her room every day, and the daily necessities were regularly replenished to ensure she could use them at any time.
Shen Yun also washed his hands, then took two bottles of juice from the fridge, handed one to Chi Gui, "It’s such a shame that you don’t drink."
"Drinking would affect my work," Chi Gui took the juice.
Shen Yun didn’t say more, he knew that Chi Gui’s job was a doctor, and she could have emergency cases at any time; drinking would be problematic.
Shen Yun stood in front of the coffee table, opened his juice with a pop, took a sip, then, seemingly excited, asked, "Are you going to cook for me tonight?"
"No," Chi Gui cut off his fantasy coldly, "I ordered takeout."
Shen Yun: "Alright..."
The takeout Chi Gui mentioned wasn’t the kind that ordinary people would order but prepared by chefs from five-star restaurants in Capital City and delivered by a special courier.
Naturally, the taste was beyond question.
But for not being able to eat something personally made by Lord Chi, Shen Yun still felt a small grudge in his heart.
After dinner, Shen Yun sat opposite Chi Gui, picking up a slice of watermelon with a toothpick, eating it while casually saying, "By the way, Sister Chi, there was a scam gang in Hai Dou recently that pretended to be my girlfriend, claiming to understand my preferences very well, and that they were absolutely capable of preparing a bid that Tenggui Group would select... Several companies in Hai Dou have been deceived. Although I reported it to the police as soon as I knew, the scam group is very cunning and has already fled Hai Dou. They might now be in Capital City, you should be careful."
