I Am Rich

65

After reentering the car, Qi Chengyan helped fasten the seat belt for her, then started to drive towards the Imperial Palace.

"We're going to Xinghe Bay?" Guan Zhiyi leaned against the car window and asked him.

"No, I'll send you home."

As she heard this, Guan Zhiyi felt a little upset "Why not go to Xinghua Bay?"

Qi Chengyan glanced sideways at her, said with a smile on his mouth, "You want to come home with me?"

"Um....can I?"

Qi Chengyan gave a slight pause,"You can't."

"Why?"

It's not that Qi Chengyan didn't want to, but in her current state, he didn't know if he could control himself. Of course, he would never say these words directly,"If I don't send you home today, Yuanbai will probably come to look for you."

Guan Zhiyi pulled the hem of his shirt and said in a low voice, "Then I won't go with him, I want to go home.....hiccup, with you."

Qi Chengyan laughed,"You're talking so persistently now, but you'll be scared to death the moment you see him."

"Where am I scared of him…"

"Um, I hope you're not." 

Guan Zhiyi puffed out her cheeks, "I think it is you who's scared of him."

Qi Chengyan looked ahead, slightly raised his eyebrows at her words,"Now it seems, you're indeed right."

Guan Zhiyi was taken aback, "Are you serious?"

"Yes, at the end of the day, he's your brother. I'm afraid that if I irritate him he will not let you get close to me."

On normal time, this surely would sound like a joke, however at this moment, in the ears of Guan Zhiyi, who is seven out of eight drunk, this sounded like it was really the case.

Guan Zhiyi said earnestly,"If he and Dad oppose us, can't you just forcefully take me away?

Qi Chengyan turned his head to look at her, laughed,"Then, are you willing to go with me?"

"I'm willing!"

"So you mean, you don't want your father, you also don't want your brother, you just want to stay together with me in the future, right?"

Guan Zhiyi opened her mouth, there was an obvious struggle inside her eyes, she thought for a long time before saying, "Actually, my dad and my brother love me so dearly, in the end they will definitely choose to forgive me......"

Qi Chengyan saw that she was easy to tease when she's drunk, so he deliberately acted hurt while saying,"It appears that I'm still no match to your family in your eyes. You actually lied when you said you're willing to go with me, don't you?"

"No no, this absolutely cannot be compared."

The moment such a question was brought to her, Guan Zhiyi was completely perplexed. It's like asking a child whether father is important or mother is important.

Qi Chengyan took a quick look at her, and when he saw that she was having difficulty deciding, he said in amusement, "Alright, I'm just messing with you." 

"You're important too....."

"I know."

"You are very important."

"Um, good."

Along the way, Guan Zhiyi was all caught up in this topic.

Once they arrived home, Qi Chengyan helped her get out of the car, and as they were going in, she asked very seriously, "Are you angry because of earlier......"

Qi Chengyan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Xiaowu, I'm only joking with you just now. Be good, we're home, go back to your room and get some rest."

"Oh……"

After helping her go in, he found that Guan Yuanbai was already home.

He was sitting in the living room, when he saw the two come in he walked over, "She drank too much?"

Qi Chengyan nodded, "Song Li and the others were pouring alcohol uncontrollably, and your sister accepted everything without question."

Guan Yuanbai shot a glance towards Guan Zhiyi,"It's possible that she might not just accept everything without question, being congratulated by other people about you and her getting together must give her happiness."

The corner of Qi Chengyan mouth raised slightly, "Let her go to rest first."

"Oh." Guan Yuanbai said and tried to help her, but as soon as he held out his hand, Guan Zhiyi took a step backwards and shrank behind Qi Chengyan's back.

Guan Yuanbai's hand stopped in mid-air, "What's wrong?"

Guan Zhiyi looked at him foolishly,"Brother you will forgive me, right......"

Guan Yuanbai: "What?"

Guan Zhiyi pointed at Qi Chengyan, "If I elope with him, you will forgive me, right?"

Qi Chengyan paused and looked at Guan Zhiyi in astonishment.

The alcohol is too strong, she's gone too deep into the play.

Guan Yuanbai, who didn't know the context, immediately raised his voice, "What's wrong with you, suddenly what elope!"

Qi Chengyan pulled him, reminded, "She's drunk."

Guan Yuanbai angrily said,"People spit out their honest thoughts when they're drunk, and her talking about eloping when she's drunk just shows that this fellow is thinking about these things in her heart during the day."

Guan Zhiyi snorted lightly,"Why are you so mean, don't tell me that you won't forgive me......"

"……"

Seeing that Guan Yuanbai didn't say anything, Guan Zhiyi suddenly looked glum,"Then you really put me in a tight spot, I don't know what to choose, no matter what I choose I would be very heartbroken."

The corners of Guan Yuanbai's mouth twitched faintly,"I'll forgive you, but if you really dare to do such thing, I will break your legs right now and then."

Guan Zhiyi immediately tugged on Qi Chengyan's clothes.

Qi Chengyan saw this, glanced at him and warningly said, "Guan Yuanbai."

Guan Yuanbai kneaded the space between his eyebrows,"Fine, leave her to me, I'll take her upstairs."

"No......" Guan Zhiyi refused to relinquish her grip, kept tugging at Qi Chengyan, "Don't go......"

Qi Chengyan shook his head and said to Guan Yuanbai, "Look, why are you scaring a drunk person."

Guan Yuanbai was speechless for a while, he then flicked Guan Zhiyi's forehead, "Hurry up, you're coming upstairs with me or not?"

"I'm not." Guan Zhiyi wrapped her arms around Qi Chengyan from behind and said regardless of carelessness, "You take me home, okay?"

Guan Yuanbai: "?"

Qi Chengyan coughed softly and turned around to coax her, "I can't take you home."

"You don't like me......"

"That's not true," Qi Chengyan said, "I'll take you back to your room and stay with you, I'll leave when you're asleep, is that okay?"

Guan Zhiyi hesitated for a moment and seemed to compromise, but her gaze then moved straight to Guan Yuanbai.

Qi Chengyan's mouth curved,"I won't let him tag along, don't worry."

"Okay!"

Guan Yuanbai: "What are you guys doing??"

"I'll take her to bed, you rest up." said Qi Chengyan before pulling Guan Zhiyi towards the stairs.

Guan Yuanbai looked at Guan Zhiyi's back, feeling both angry and amused at the same time.

Speaking of which, he really hasn't felt this feeling for so many years. The last time Guan Zhiyi pestered Qi Chengyan to let her go home with him was when she was still very young......

The next day, Guan Zhiyi once again climbed into the hot search.

As soon as she found out, she clicked into Weibo to see the video concerning herself, and was frightened by her own foolishness.

She was not that drunk yesterday, was she? How could she be so leisurely and so easygoing to even chat with the paparazzi?

The video started from the moment she got out of the car, talking to them, giving them candy, and at last Qi Chengyan came to bring her away...... The lighting was not particularly good, but you can clearly see that it was her.

This video is harmless, at most, you can merely make out that she was a little drunk... However, she still felt so stupid when she saw such an appearance of herself!

Liu Yun saw this hot search and didn't have the slightest intention to let someone suppress it, she instead sent a long paragraph of hahahahaha on WeChat. The same as Liu Yun, the comment section is also filled with a wave of hahahaha.

[I'm dying from laughing, I can hear the paparazzi's stunned voice when they get freaked out by Guan Zhiyi.]

[Giving them candies to let them replenish their energy, were you thinking that they've been working hard to film you without your permission?]

[That bow is making me laugh to death.]

[Am I the only one who notices that she said "we've been together since we were young"? Guan Zhiyi and Qi Chengyan are childhood sweethearts? ?]

[The Guan and Qi family are close, it's no surprise that the two grew up together.]

[I'm jealous~The two have similar physical appearances of a well-matched couple.]

[Guan Zhiyi not allowing the reporters to film her boyfriend is rather adorable.]

[Looks like she's a little drunk.]

[Qi Chengyan called her Xiaowu? What does that mean? (I inexplicably feel soft]

[Guan Zhiyi is the fifth child of the Guan family.]

[My ex-husband is still so handsome!]

Ever since Guan Zhiyi made her relationship public, she and Qi Chengyan have been constantly climbing into hot search, mostly because lots of fans were digging up things and posted it online. Even though Qi Chengyan is not a celebrity so the amount of material is a little less, but, fans' eyes are very sharp. For instance, the two were at the same table during the previous Starlight Awards Ceremony, plus at that time when she returned from commercial shooting in France, Qi Chengyan was also on the same flight back to Capital Airport, and so on….

She was indifferent if these little things were dug up, so much so that Guan Zhiyi herself sometimes also looked at it with great relish. Some scenes look a bit sweeter as they are polished by fans.

She rested at home for quite a long time, during this period her days were basically, going on dates with Qi Chengyan during the day, then he would send her back home at night, time and time again.

Such that made her miss those days where she hadn't disclosed this matter to her family, that time...... when she still can sleep at his house.

However, she once in a while thought, their family knew that they are together and are adults, so even if one day she didn't return to sleep at home it would not be a big deal, right…...Even so, Qi Chengyan doesn't seem to be eager to stay with her that much, and if he didn't ask her to stay, she of course would not insist. Otherwise, it would look like she was taking all the initiative….

While her schedule was vacant these days, variety shows and movie offers are constantly coming in.

Liu Yun carefully selected through it and eventually gave her a variety show to do when she was ready to go back to work. This show, which has become popular in the past two years, is an experience-based reality show where each episode has a theme set for guests to take on in open outdoor challenges activity.

This Saturday, Guan Zhiyi will set off to record the show for two days. She will stay at a hotel arranged by the production team.

This program has very high ratings, but the recording period was physically exhausting as you have to rush about busily. When the first day of recording finished, Guan Zhiyi's legs were all sore from walking the whole day. After she got back to the hotel and took a shower, she spread out her whole body on top of the bed.

[Is it done?]

The phone rang because of a message from Qi Chengyan.

Guan Zhiyi was still in bed when she replied back to him: [I've gone back, so tired, so tired, so tired].

[You've been recording the whole day?]

[Yeah, I got a cramp on my leg from all the walking, but the game is pretty fun.]

Qi Chengyan: [Is Liu Yun and the others there?]

Guan Zhiyi: [Today, they also followed me for the whole day, I told them to go get rest.]

Qi Chengyan: [Okay, wait for me.]

Guan Zhiyi was stunned for a moment: [You're not going to come over, are you?]

Qi Chengyan: [It's not far, I'll be there soon.]

The recording is in the city, it can be considered not far, but it still takes more than half an hour to drive here. Guan Zhiyi didn't want him to travel in the middle of the night, so she told him not to come over, yet half an hour later, he still arrived at the hotel.

It's a lie to say that she is not happy. If a girl is in love and sees the person she likes appearing in front of her when she is the most tired, her heart will be overflowing with sweetness.

The moment Qi Chengyan came in, he still had the coldness of the night from outside on his body, even so, as soon as Guan Zhiyi closed the door, she nevertheless threw herself into his arms.

Qi Chengyan stroked her head,"My body is very cold."

"It doesn't matter." Guan Zhiyi hugged him and refused to let go. When she saw that he was carrying something in his hand, she asked, "Did you buy me something?"

"Something to eat, don't worry, I know that you're afraid of gaining weight if you eat at night, it's just two small boxes of fruit."

Guan Zhiyi said, "But fruit is also very high in sugar....."

Qi Chengyan didn't think about that, he simply remembered that she likes to eat cherry and strawberry, so he bought it in passing. Seeing that he was faintly in a daze, Guan Zhiyi added,"But since you bought them, I have to eat it even if it makes me gain weight."

"I'm going to wash them first, okay? You go lie down."

"Okay!"

Guan Zhiyi dawdled back to bed, and after a while, Qi Chengyan finished washing the fruit and placed it on the bedside table.

He sat on the edge of the bed and looked at her legs. At this moment, she was wearing a hotel bathrobe, both her calves were exposed, fair and delicate, but her toes were a little red and swollen.

"When are you leaving?" Guan Zhiyi asked while eating the fruit on her side.

"I just come to check on you for a while, I'll leave a little later. "

"Oh......"

"You still have to run for another day tomorrow?" He knitted his eyebrows and reached out to touch the swollen part.

Guan Zhiyi felt ticklish and unconsciously shrank, however, while doing so something came to her mind, she immediately passed her leg to his hand, "Mm-hmm, I still have to run for another day, my leg is twitching now, it hurts."

Qi Chengyan held her ankle,"I'll let Liu Yun know."

"No need to say anything, it's just a show, don't give me special treatment." Guan Zhiyi blinked her eyes and said pitifully, "As long as you don't go anywhere and help me massage them for a while, I'll feel better."
