96: Chapter 96 Deliberately Provoking Her 96: Chapter 96 Deliberately Provoking Her Ye Shikai glanced at Su Qingyu beside him, her little face trembling slightly with anger, and he had a bad premonition.
What if she couldn’t hold back and flipped the hot pot over onto his head…
“What’s wrong, don’t you like it?” Luo Shiqi observed Ye Shikai’s hesitance and glanced at Su Qingyu, instantly understanding why.
She was quite pleased to witness this scene, having successfully shown off in front of Su Qingyu.
She wanted this effect, and now she had achieved it.
Ah, no, I mean I don’t like it, ah, that’s not right…” For a moment, Ye Shikai didn’t know what to say.
Whichever he chose, he would offend them.
How did he get into this mess?
Ye Shikai felt helpless and thought about the hard-earned peaceful relationship with Su Qingyu.
Clenching his teeth, he said, “I appreciate the gesture, but I think I’ll pass on the watch.”
“That won’t do, the gifts my sister gives never return,” Luo Shiqi retorted with a pout.
She had gone this far, and yet he still refused to accept it.
Luo Shiqi was a queen after all; who dares to not give her some respect?
“Stretch out your hand.” Luo Shiqi frowned slightly, saying with displeasure, “Come on.” Seeing Ye Shikai hesitate, Luo Shiqi, losing her patience, grabbed her own arm and pulled it toward herself in front of Su Qingyu.
Luo Shiqi took out the watch and slowly strapped it onto her wrist with the care of a devoted wife.
All this was witnessed by Su Qingyu.
After putting it on, Luo Shiqi’s face showed satisfaction, as if a child had been praised, thinking that the man before her was growing more and more appealing.
“It looks really nice, don’t you think?” Luo Shiqi asked with a relieved smile.
“Er, I guess so.” Ye Shikai said awkwardly, his thoughts not on the watch but rather on Su Qingyu, who was gripping a fruit knife tightly on the table, looking like she might lunge at him at any moment…
“By the way, Miss Su, aren’t you and he a married couple?
I wonder what gift you’ve prepared for him?” Luo Shiqi turned the conversation to Su Qingyu.
This reminder made Ye Shikai recall their bet.
Luckily, Su Ziqing said she had already prepared a gift.
So Ye Shikai had indeed won the bet and had earlier given the prepared gift to Su Qingyu.
“She left it at home; it’s quite big and not convenient to carry around,” Ye Shikai spoke first.
“Is that so?” Luo Shiqi extended the tone, somewhat disbelieving Ye Shikai’s words, but to her surprise, the relationship between herself and Su Qingyu had already improved.
“It’s true, she really has prepared it.” Ye Shikai affirmed, which made Luo Shiqi believe him.
She had not expected Su Qingyu to have really prepared a gift, which was beyond Luo Shiqi’s expectations.
However, if Su Qingyu hadn’t prepared anything, then the Luminous Pearl of Empress Dowager Cixi would have been in the bag for Luo Shiqi.
Su Qingyu listened, slightly puzzled.
It seemed like Ye Shikai kept stressing that she had prepared a gift.
Observing the expressions of the two, the perceptive Su Qingyu acutely sensed something was going on between Ye Shikai and Luo Shiqi.
“Alright, Miss Luo, we’ve almost finished eating, and we’ll be heading home soon,” Su Qingyu said.
You might come to a hot pot restaurant, but would you come to my home?
Luo Shiqi was no fool; of course, she knew Su Qingyu’s intentions and was somewhat displeased, but helpless too; after all, they were married.
“Alright, you should go ahead.” Ye Shikai saw Luo Shiqi’s awkwardness and decided to let her down gently.
To be honest, he thought highly of Luo Shiqi.
She was bold in love and considerate in every way, not skimping on spending money.
Although known as the Underground Queen, she had a gentle and kind side, but that was only in front of him.
The problem was, she fell in love with a married man…
“Alright then, call me when you get home.” Luo Shiqi was somewhat dissatisfied, but hearing Ye Shikai’s words, she still felt comforted, reluctant to part like any lovelorn woman.
Su Qingyu drove her silver Lamborghini while Ye Shikai sat in the passenger seat.
“Honey, are you okay?” Ye Shikai asked, seeing Su Qingyu’s cold expression and feeling worried.
It seemed like she was truly jealous — any woman would probably be hurt by what had just happened.
Ye Shikai reached out to grab Su Qingyu’s arm.
“Don’t touch me,” Su Qingyu shook off his hand, making him feel quite embarrassed.
“Darling, what’s wrong?
Wasn’t everything fine just now?”
What is your relationship with Luo Shiqi, have you two already…
you know.” Su Qingyu said, getting increasingly agitated.
A woman’s IQ may drop to negative figures when jealous, and her imagination runs wild…
“How could that be, honey, listen to me explain,” he pleaded.
“I don’t want to hear it,” Su Qingyu lifted her hands from the steering wheel, covering her ears firmly.
“Honey, be careful, there’s a car in front,” Ye Shikai tried to speak, but the car coming in the opposite direction shone dazzling lights.
He quickly steered the wheel, narrowly missing the oncoming vehicle.
“Ah, Qingyu, haven’t I told you?
It’s true, Luo Shiqi likes me, but I haven’t accepted her,” Ye Shikai forcibly pulled down Su Qingyu’s arms, and started earnestly trying to convince her.
“Hmph, you think I’m an idiot?
You’re still wearing her watch,” Su Qingyu was still fuming, and Ye Shikai was nothing more than a vent for her anger.
“And another thing, are you keeping some sort of agreement from me?” After a while, Su Qingyu’s anger subsided a bit.
“Uh, actually I made a bet with her,” Ye Shikai finally revealed the details of the bet he had with Luo Shiqi to Su Qingyu.
“So it’s like that,” Su Qingyu said, her anger mostly dissipated, and Ye Shikai finally breathed a sigh of relief, not expecting Su Qingyu to suddenly glare at him fiercely and say, “If you dare to give her a gift, we’re getting a divorce.”
