I Am Rich

58

Guan Zhiyi had forgotten everything about having breakfast together and all that. After running down the stairs, she simply ran home without waiting for him.

When she got home, she hid in her room and threw herself into bed, burying her face in the soft quilt, feeling somewhat bashful and embarrassed.

Although, to shoot accidentally while polishing a gun** between lovers is nothing, but still, that person is Qi Chengyan ah. Previously, when they haven't got together yet, he was much more calm and collected in front of her. What happened just now was......

(**To have unintended and serious consequences; a minor incident sparks a war)

Guan Zhiyi faltered, touching her own face while frantically taking a deep breath.

Calm down! Keep focus! You can't be afraid!

However, the mere thought about those inches of heaven and earth under the quilt just now could make her body turn soft. She wondered if she hadn't hurriedly escaped a moment ago, whether or not she would have a nosebleed.

Surely enough......you should never go harassing people so early in the morning!

At first, yesterday she said that she would go to his house and exclusively spend the whole day together today. However in the end, after everything that happened in the morning, she was too embarrassed to go back. Even so, at noon, Qi Chengyan came to her house to have a meal, and only then did the two see each other again.

It's just that, at her home, apart from having a regular meal, they couldn't think about anything else.

After eating, Guan Zhiyi went back to her room and packed her things, then returned downstairs, waiting for Maomao and Liu Yun to pick her up.

"At what time will Liu Yun come?" Qi Chengyan sat next to her and asked.

He appeared to be very nonchalant, acting as if nothing had happened in the morning. Thus, Guan Zhiyi felt that she also must not behave like she was still green and inexperienced in that matter, pretended to be calm and said, "She called me just now to tell me that she's on her way, and will probably arrive in half an hour."

"Alright." Qi Chengyan said, "Don't exert yourself too much when filming, pay attention to rest."

"Uhm."

"And don't lose any more weight."

"Um."

"Reply to my messages every day."

"Um."

"You're running so fast this morning, were you shy?"

"Um......huh?" Guan Zhiyi suddenly turned her head to look at him, wasn't expecting him to change the topic this quickly, "W-what am I shy about?"

Qi Chengyan laughed, picked up a glass of water on the coffee table and drank a mouthful, said lightly, "You slip away pretty quickly, after provoking people."

Guan Zhiyi's breathing stalled, but because Guan Yuanbai was currently watering the garden outside the courtyard, she did not dare to speak too loudly,"Where am I provoking people, it's obviously you, you......"

"What's with me?" Qi Chengyan reached out and pinched her face, "The one who came into other people's room early in the morning is you."

Why is he shifting the blame….it was clearly him who carried her up to the bed! How does it become like she went to his room on purpose now!

Qi Chengyan looked at her wanting to refute yet couldn't start appearance, feeling delighted, "But I'll allow you, in the future when you want to come feel free to do so."

At the end, he added,"The door is unlocked 24 hours a day."

"............"

Half an hour later, Liu Yun arrived on time, Guan Yuanbai and Qi Chengyan send Guan Zhiyi to the door.

Liu Yun got out of the car, greeted Guan Yuanbai and Qi Chengyan, then took over the only small bag Guan Zhiyi was carrying, "Get in."

Guan Zhiyi nodded and sat in the back row.

Guan Yuanbai saw Guan Zhiyi get into the car and walked back.

Just before the car moved, Guan Zhiyi pushed down the window, leaning towards the window frame, while simultaneously dangling her head to look at Qi Chengyan who had not yet left.

Guan Zhiyi: "Then I'm leaving."

Qi Chengyan walked to the car window and said, "Call me when you arrive."

As Guan Zhiyi stared intently at his face, the feeling of reluctance in her heart grew more and more, once she left this time, they would not be able to see each other for more than a month.

"Uhm....."

The little girl's emotions are too noticeable, her expression was not in the slightest concealed. Looking at her appearance, Qi Chengyan couldn't help but feeling distressed, "After you finished filming this, don't film another one, okay?"

Liu Yun, who can hear clearly from the car, was frightened and trembled all of sudden. What? Don't film another one?!

Guan Zhiyi reached out to pinched Qi Chengyan's waist, "What don't film another one, nonsense..."

She refused him at an impressive speed.

Qi Chengyan rubbed her head and let out a light sigh.

He actually doesn't want her to join a crew for several months and exhaust herself, but even so, he also knew that this was something she liked and he could not and must not interfere.

Asking her not to film was nothing more than him trying to pacify oneself.

Qi Chengyan: "Then take some break while carefully picking a better script."

Rather than for Guan Zhiyi to hear, these words were more directed to Liu Yun. Liu Yun, who is a clever individual, immediately noticed it, and quickly nodded, "Yes, yes, that's also what I was planning to do."

It's no problem to take a break from filming, as long as she doesn't stop filming! This young woman is now her life ah!

Guan Zhiyi: "Got it, then you go back, I'm really leaving now."

Qi Chengyan took a step back and gestured at them to drive.

"Let's go." Liu Yun said.

Mao Mao started the car.

As the car moved away, the figure behind them gradually faded away. When Guan Zhiyi could no longer see him, she sat back sorrowfully.

Liu Yun was informed about their relationship shortly after they got together, at this time, seeing Guan Zhiyi's depressed look, she soothingly said, "It will be quick, one month will pass in a blink of an eye."

"You don't have to comfort me, I'm not a kid."

Liu Yun laughed a little,"People who're in a relationship are all like a little child, they will feel terrible if they don't see each other. What's more, you two have to be apart for a long time."

Guan Zhiyi looked out the window and murmured, "...... I'll just think of it as being in a long-distance relationship."

After returning to the set, a new round of filming began.

Guan Zhiyi has high demands on herself about acting, during filming, she will only be engrossed in her role. But still, once in a while, on the way back to the hotel after filming, very suddenly, she would miss him like crazy......

Wondering about what he was doing, whether he was very busy at work or not, and whether he was also thinking about her.

When filming in the past, she used to act in these types of emotional scenes. Back then, she would act pretty good on the surface, but in fact, deep in her heart, she didn't fully understand the feeling of longing.

And now that she got together with Qi Chengyan, she finally learned through experience and understood.

As it turned out that longing is truly such a sweet yet sad thing.

At last, the month went by slowly.

Once she finished filming, Guan Zhiyi returned home discreetly.

Her father and brother didn't even know she was coming back because there was no publicity about the drama's completion.

After Guan Zhiyi got off the plane and got into the company's nanny car, Qi Chengyan sent her a message: [There's something coming up in the company today, I have to be back a little later tonight, I'll come to your house to look for you then]

Guan Zhiyi looked at his message, thought for a while, and then replied: [Don't wanna go home]

Qi Chengyan: [What's wrong?]

Guan Zhiyi: [Once I get home, I'll be under their noses. I want to see you first.…]

She didn't know what Qi Chengyan would think when he saw her message, anyhow, after Guan Zhiyi sent it out, she felt cheesy. But to hell with cheesiness, this was what she truly felt in her heart.

With everything that has been accumulated the whole month, she really wanted to see him, and also wanted to be alone with him.

Qi Chengyan was on his way to a meeting when he received the message from Guan Zhiyi. When he saw her saying that she wanted to see him first, his heart turned ridiculously soft at once. He was going to answer the message while walking, however, before he could even type out a word, a new message popped up in their dialog box.

[Brother, I miss you]

Qi Chengyan froze as his feet stalled.

"President Qi?" His assistant who was holding a stack of documents beside him saw him stop and looked at him in confusion.

Qi Chengyan unhurriedly stared at those several words, it took him a while before saying, "You go first."

The assistant failed to understand his reason, but he still obediently went to the meeting room first.

Qi Chengyan stood in the corridor and directly dialled her phone number.

Guan Zhiyi was extremely embarrassed when she saw the incoming call, even though she can type those cheesy words, she still found it embarrassing to speak it out. With a red face, she picked up his call: "What......"

"Ask Liu Yun to drive you to Xinghe Bay." Qi Chengyan said bluntly.

Xinghe Bay is one of his properties. She knew about it because when she was injured during filming before, she used to live there.

Asking her to come over means the two of them will be able to meet alone first, fulfilling her wish.

The corner of Guan Zhiyi's mouth raised slightly,"Oh... okay."

"Xiaowu, I will go back as quickly as possible."

"Um."

"Wait for me."

Qi Chengyan had always been calm, ever since childhood he always had things within his control, so at this age, this kind of eagerness was even less likely to appear on him.

Today, however, with his rarely seen eagerness, he was very distracted during the meeting.

The directors of the branch company are all people with extensive experience, who naturally can quickly sense that something was unusual with their boss, even so, they would never have linked love and relationships to Qi Chengyan absent-mindedness.

In their eyes, according to this man's manner of conduct, he would not be the kind of man that can be led by "male and female love affair".

Therefore, they're just wondering whether something's wrong with the company or whose project he was not satisfied with.....

After the meeting ended, everyone was very scared and on edge, afraid that they would get scolded by the silent boss in the next second.

However, surprisingly, throughout the meeting, Qi Chengyan did not say any harsh words. Moreover, he quickly got up and left as soon as the meeting concluded. 

A group of directors let out a sigh of relief.

"Why is President Qi so quiet today?"

"He scared me to death, when I saw him keep silent and say nothing, I thought it was the calm before the storm."

"Me too, I thought we were going to get scolded."

"No...then what's the matter? Why did President Qi act that way?"

"I don't know, it must be something really urgent that can make him leave so fast."

"Hahaha, maybe he went to meet his girlfriend."

"Rubbish, after all this time, have you ever seen any woman around him?"

"I know, it's just a joke--"

After leaving the company, Qi Chengyan drove straight to Xinghe Bay. He often comes to stay in this place. After all, if he returned to the Imperial Palace when Guan Zhiyi was not present, he would have nothing else to do other than facing his grandfather's nagging

When the car got into the garage, he went up immediately.

Counting the time, she should have already waited for him for two hours here, he wondered whether she would be bored being alone in this place.

As he thought about it, Qi Chengyan reached the living room, yet he couldn't see her figure.

"Xiaowu?"

No one answered.

Qi Chengyan thought that she was probably a bit tired from her flight and had gone to her room to sleep, accordingly, he then turned around to go upstairs.

"Brother, you're back."

Qi Chengyan paused, turned back, and to his surprise, he saw Guan Zhiyi wearing an apron while holding a ladle in one hand, walking over from the kitchen.

"What are you......"

"I'm making a soup, it smells delicious, hurry up, try it."

Qi Chengyan was stunned, "Where's auntie?"

"I told them to go home. I'm the one cooking today."

The kitchen door was opened as she came out, and only then did Qi Chengyan smell a rich aroma.

He walked towards Guan Zhiyi and then straightened a strand of her baby hair to the side, "What are you doing not taking a rest just after getting off the plane, why are you cooking by yourself?"

"I didn't feel tired, I had nothing to do after arriving here, so I thought I'd cook a meal for you while waiting." Guan Zhiyi excitedly pulled him inside, "I haven't made one by myself for quite a while, but my skills are still pretty good, come and try it."

After entering the kitchen, Guan Zhiyi scooped out a small spoonful and handed it to him.

Qi Chengyan glanced at her before bent down to take a sip.

"Is it delicious?"

"Mm."

Guan Zhiyi said, "Come to think of it, it seems that you have never tried the food that I made."

"That's right ah, who would have imagined that this young girl would actually learn how to cook by herself when she grows up."

Guan Zhiyi smiled smugly, "If you think it's delicious, I'll cook it for you whenever I have time.”

Qi Chengyan bent his finger and slid it on her nose all of a sudden,"Do you want your brother to scold me to death?"

"Huh?"

"Your hands are not for cooking when you have time."

Guan Zhiyi blinked her eyes, "Then-"

Qi Chengyan pulled her arm and put it around his waist, "When you have time in the future, it's better to use it to hug me."
