Chapter 22 — Underwear “… Well, is there a smaller one?”

"I didn't know… I really didn't know Sisi was in the hospital because of a fever! Brother Yiran was very angry, so I-I just misunderstood." She burst into tears, "I'm sorry. I'll apologize to Sister Zhengzheng. It's all my fault!"

There was no way she could admit it!

If she admitted that she had deliberately provoked them. Chi Yan would take care of her, and Ding Yijun would never treat her nicely again!

If she wasn't liked by the Chi family, Wen Jingsen and Xu Wei would disapprove of her being with Wen Yiran.

No one could confirm if she knew, only Wen Yiran and Wen Sisi knew, and as long as she lied to them, no one would know if her words were valid or not.

It's just that…

One lie was destined to be hidden by another lie.

After deceiving one person, countless people must be deluded to not be discovered by the first person.

By the time the lie comes apart…

What she would anger more than one person.

At this moment, An Qinru didn't think of this, maybe she thought of it, but it was too late.

Chi Yan and Ding Yijun both frowned. No one knew if they believed it or not.

Ding Yijun didn't comfort her as she usually did when she cried, her head lowered, and sighed long and hard.

Chi Yan's face was cold, and he spoke coldly –

"No, there's no need for you to apologize. From today onwards, don't show up in front of Zhengzheng."

Chi Zhengzheng's mood was complicated.

In her previous life, she had never lacked love, and her family members were the people she respected and loved the most.

She also once thought, if her parents were there, if she could get along with them day and night, what kind of scene would it be like?

—That was her greatest desire and fantasy when she was young when she looked at the photos at home.

Now that she was the Chi Zhengzheng of this world, she had parents.

But at this moment, she had left this home herself, leaving her parents in this body.

Although she had some memories and emotions of the original owner, she was not the original owner who had lived with them for twenty-one years.

She just had some mixed feelings, with some emotion and inexplicable sadness.

She was lost in thought and ignored her surroundings until she walked to the car, and Wen Yu stopped in his tracks.

Only then did she realize…

She and Wen Yu were still holding hands!

What complicated feelings and what complex sadness, it banished in an instant.

Chi Zhengzheng was so shocked that she quickly jerked her hand back, her face tinged with shock and vaguely even… horror?

Wen Yu also didn't care that she jerked her hand. He just reached out and opened the passenger seat door, gesturing for her to get in.

Just now, she didn't feel it, but now that she dew her hand, Chi Zhengzheng only thought that it was scary hot, like it was going to burn.

She took a deep breath and tried to calm down. She said reasonably: "Wen Yu, thank you for today. I no longer have anything to do with the Chi family in my heart. Our marriage contract is no longer valid, so I won't bother you any longer. These days I have taken up too much of your time."

Chi Zhengzheng looked at him, her eyes serious, and inside her beautiful round eyes, they were full of gratitude.

When she had just woken up, she was amazed at the man in front of her. In her previous life, she was just an ordinary woman. She was a little afraid of the dominant male lead in the novel, who turned his hand palm up as he gathered the clouds, turned them down, and turned them to rain.

turned his hand palm up as he gathered the clouds, turned them down, and turned them to rain: very powerful and capable

But during this time, they kept in touch. It had made her realize that he was not as cold and insensitive as she had imagined.

-Hidden underneath the coldness and indifference, Wen Yu was actually a lovely person.

Chi Zhengzheng was grateful to him.

Wen Yu's hand paused slightly, and his brows slowly furrowed together.

It was long before he said: "The marriage contract cannot be broken yet."

Chi Zhengzheng was confused at first, and then she understood as soon as she thought about it.

Wen Yu still hadn't given up on his plan to lift the Wen family up high and then drop them down again. He still wanted to paralyze the Wen family, so the marriage contract couldn't be broken off yet.

Chi Zhengzheng pursed her lips. She had already advised Wen Yu to cut through the mess quickly and stop wasting time on the Wen family.

But since he was unwilling to do so, there was nothing more she could do to persuade him.

She nodded: "Fine, then we will no longer talk about breaking off the engagement on the surface, but in private we…"

Wen Yu suddenly spoke up and interrupted her, "I don't hate you."

"Hm?" Chi Zhengzheng froze and stopped her words from coming out.

He was very tall. Even if Chi Zhengzheng wore high heels, he was still much taller than her.

They were so close together that when she looked up at him, she had to tilt her head and felt oppressed.

The streetlights were dim, but his perfectly perfect face was still striking.

-This man was almost flawless.

At this moment, he was looking at her thoughtfully. There was no indifference, no coldness, and no dislike in his eyes.

Wen Yu said, "We are already engaged. I don't hate you. It doesn't matter if we get married."

He said this from the bottom of his heart.

Wen Yu didn't know what he liked. Although he had only scorn in his heart when he was engaged, now he didn't hate her and was willing to treat her as his fiancée.

If he had to marry in the future, it didn't matter if that person was Chi Zhengzheng.

Wen Yu didn't know what a fiancé should do, but he wanted to take care of Chi Zhengzheng and didn't want to see her unhappy.

He had never experienced this feeling before, and Wen Yu didn't know much about it.

But when he heard Chi Zhengzheng say "invalidate the marriage contract" and "no longer had any relationship," he was very upset.

Chi Zhengzheng was stunned for a while, then suddenly laughed: "Hahaha, Wen Yu, you are really…." It really made people laugh and cry.

Wen Yu's eyes were confused.

"Haha, Wen Yu, it's not that you can marry someone if you don't have them. In the future, when you meet someone you like, you will understand." Chi Zhengzheng smiled but was a little uncomfortable inexplicably.

Wen Yu didn't understand love because he was a male lead in a CP-free novel.

So in the future, could he really meet people who will accompany him all his life?

If it's still like in the book…

Thinking of this, Chi Zhengzheng felt a little uncomfortable.

Seeing her and then stopping smiling, Wen Yu was even more puzzled. He was very smart. His head could control all the company's affairs, and he could build his vast business empire with ease as if the mall was a battlefield.

But now, he couldn't guess what the girl in front of him was thinking.

Chi Zhengzheng's discomfort didn't last long. Wen Yu's path to dominance was brilliant, and she couldn't intervene in his future.

If it weren't for transmigrating as Chi Zhengzheng, if it weren't for the verbal marriage contract, she, an ordinary girl, would have no connection with Wen Yu, a CP-free male lead.

She smiled and waved her hand, "Okay, Wen Yu, you go back."

Wen Yu's brows still frowned together and looked a little serious. He said in a low voice: "Get in the car. It's not safe to live outside."

"No need…"

Wen Yu looked at her blankly.

—The silent oppression of the big boss was here again.

Chi Zhengzheng: "…" Immediately became a little discouraged.

After thinking for a while, she said, "Then I will live with you for the time being, but I will pay you to rent."

She only had a few thousand in her pocket, and she was not familiar with this world. She had to pay at least a deposit to rent a house. It was still very troublesome, and she needed money to eat and buy things…

It was actually the best choice to settle down with Wen Yu for the time being.

Just now, she was thinking about getting rid of the relationship. Still, she didn't even consider her own financial problems for a while.

Since Wen Yu sincerely "invited" her, then she could only "respectfully accept" it!

Wen Yu thought for a while, then nodded: "Okay."

So Chi Zhengzheng got in the car.

Wen Yu got in the driver's seat, stepped on the gas, and headed in one direction.

– It was the opposite direction to the Wen family's house.

When Chi Zhouchen went out, he could only see the back of the car. Fortunately, he got the driver to catch up just in time.

-He still didn't have Chi Zhengzheng's phone number.

So Chi Zhouchen could only follow the car in front of him and talk to Chi Zhengzheng when it stopped so that if Chi Zhengzheng decided not to go back, they would at least know where she lived.

Today was the day they broke her heart again. Chi Zhouchen's heart also had some hard feelings.

In the end, she was… his biological sister.

Just because his father didn't say didn't mean he didn't care. Chi Zhouchen was determined to know where Chi Zingzheng lived.

They were unfamiliar with Wen Yu, although he suddenly found out in the last two days that this unnecessary member of the Wen family was not useless. However, he was not as promising as Wen Yiran.

What if Chi Zhengzheng was bullied by him?

Even if Chi Zhengzheng wanted to stay at Wen Yu's place for a few days, he still had to somewhat threaten Wen Yu so he wouldn't bully Chi Zhengzheng.

His Chi family couldn't be bullied.

"Hurry up. Make sure you follow them."

"Yes."

The two cars moved forward in one direction.

Chi Zhouchen soon found out they were not going in the direction of the Wen family. Instead, they were going in the opposite direction.

It was also confirmed that Chi Zhengzheng couldn't go and stay with the Wen family.

That direction was busy, and there were many people and cars, so they almost lost them.

Luckily, the driver was good and still managed to keep up.

Soon, they drove to the entrance of a community gate.

The car in front of them slowed down, the security guard opened the gate, and the car slowly drove into this neighborhood.

Chi Zhouchen was about to call them out, but he was taken aback when he saw the community gate entrance.

– Wangjiang Manor.

Although he was still a high school student, he didn't know much. Chi Yan would usually tell him a lot about the business world and take him to the office during holidays.

As a result, he knew about this neighborhood.

This neighborhood was built by Yu Ding.

In the beginning, this piece of land was the new land king of the city. In such an urban area where every inch of land was gold, such a large piece of land in the best location in Linjiang, the state put up for auction caused quite a sensation.

What was even more shocking, of course, was that the company that won the auction was called Yu Ding.

Before this, Yu Ding had not been involved in the real estate industry and had just moved back from abroad, so there was not much going on.

When Yu Ding got the land, there were many real estate companies looking for things to do, and some questioned whether they had so much money to buy the land.

In the end, Yu Ding still got it, and after getting it, they built villas on the land.

And Yu Ding… surprisingly moved on to other virtual industries.

That was the glorious story of Yu Ding. In just a few years, Yu Ding had gone from being a questionable company to an admirable one.

With the rapid take-off of Yu Ding, many people would occasionally mention this land they had bought, which was the first time they had made a splash in the country.

This villa area was soon constructed and was called Wangjiang Manor.

The inside was beautifully built, and the houses were extraordinarily constructed beautifully. The most important thing was that the Wangjiang Manor didn't build too many villas for such a prominent place, and each home was relatively far away from the other.

This resulted in a community where not too many houses were built, the greenery and other facilities were perfect, and security was also fully equipped long ago.

The price of a luxury villa in this location was almost 100 million. Still, there were too few Wangjiang Manor villas, and the price will have to be doubled.

Of course, the house price was not what surprised Chi Zhouchen the most.

The reason he was so surprised was that –

The Wangjiang Manor villas were built, and everything was well equipped, but they hadn't been sold yet!

So how on earth did Wen Yu drive Chi Zhengzheng there?

And why was he able to get in?

Chi Zhouchen was so surprised that he didn't call them in time, and Wen Yu's car had disappeared entirely from sight.

"Young Chi?" The driver spoke.

Chi Zhouchen was still staring blankly at the gate of Wangjiang Manor.

It was nighttime in the end, and although there were street lights inside the district, there was no way to see the entire community clearly.

The Chi family was now living in a villa area. With Wen Yu's background, Chi Zhengzheng didn't see any problem with entering a neighborhood that looked so luxurious.

Even if she wanted to live in Wen Yu's cheaper house, she could guess he didn't have one.

She didn't look at the neighborhood carefully, nor did she know what was so special about the Wangjiang Manor neighborhood. Her head was resting comfortably on the seat as the car soon arrived inside the underground garage of a house.

"Do you usually live here?" Chi Zhengzheng asked as she followed Wen Yu upstairs.

"Occasionally." Most of the time, he was still at the Wen house.

"Oh…" Chi Zhengzheng responded.

"See if you like it here. I have other houses too." Wen Yu said calmly.

She was busy saying, "No, no, I'm not picky about where I live, and it looks good enough here!"

They walked through the garden and into the main building as they spoke.

As soon as the door opened, the lights came on.

The light inside was extraordinarily comfortable and bright, clean and tidy. The hall, the living room, and the dining room were all on the ground floor. At a glance, you could see…

It was so big.

She titled her head to look at the height of the ceiling and then at the extravagant spiral staircase in the hall…

Chi Zhengzheng twisted her head to look at Wen Yu with a serious face –

"Big Boss, I think I might be unable to afford to rent this house."

She knew that this house might be luxurious. Still, with the Chi family background, she thought she could accept it, but never in a million years could she have thought that it could be so luxurious!!!

It wasn't that the decor was luxurious. On the contrary, the decor actually leaned towards refinement and simplicity.

But such a big house, with such a luxurious layout, how could she afford to rent it with the bit of money she had in her pocket?!

Wen Yu was taken back and looked at her, their eyes looking at each other.

For a moment, he said, "It's okay, stay. I don't usually stay here."

She automatically changed the words in her mind and understood –

Wen Yu didn't live here often, so it was usually empty. It was fine for her to live there.

Chi Zhengzheng: "..." Hate the rich!

If she had such a lovely house, she would be satisfied with staying in it every day and not going out!

This made Chi Zhengzheng, a corporate slave in her previous life and whose biggest dream was to buy a ninety-square-foot house, tear up in her heart.

When she didn't say anything, Wen Yu frowned: "Don't you like it? I have a larger villa. It's in…"

It seemed that if she disagreed, he would have to change to a larger manor to satisfy her.

Chi Zhengzheng hurriedly interrupted him: "I like it! I already like it very much!"

Wen Yu was satisfied and nodded: "That's good."

He started to change his shoes.

After thinking about it, Chi Zhengzheng asked him with a complicated expression, "That, I want to ask one more question, is it okay to pay 6,000… for the rent first? When I have money, I'll make it up to you!"

Such a house, even if it's shared, how could it be rented for 6,000!

She should try to move out as soon as possible, such an extravagant house, her wallet couldn't afford it.

Wen Yu twisted his head to look at her as he saw her insisting and nodded. "Yes."

Chi Zhengzheng immediately transferred money to him on her mobile phone.

Thus, the money that Wen Sisi had compensated her with was gone, and only a few hundred were left in the blink of an eye.

Poverty, sadness.

Wen Yu: "Go up and choose a room."

There were too many rooms, which was a bad thing. You had to look around and choose which one to stay in. Sigh.

She sighed as she changed her slippers and went upstairs, "Ta, ta, ta," as happily as she could.

Now that she had moved in and paid the rent, she was naturally happy to live there!

Wen Yu looked up at her back from the ground floor, and the corners of his mouth turned up a little.

She always seemed to be happy.

She had only left the house tonight and had nothing in her pocket. Still, she was so happy that she could forget her unhappiness and the people who made her unhappy because of a bit of happiness.

As Wen Yu watched her back, he suddenly remembered the first time he lived here.

At that time, he had been watching the Chi family from the sidelines, just as he was doing now. He was watching them be proud of their success and boast over the "great future" of the Wen family…

The day Xu Wei mentioned his deceased mother, Wen Jingsen had just returned from a drink and became angry when he heard his mother's name, coldly calling him a disgrace and telling him to get lost.

Wen Yu wanted to rip his ugly face off at that moment but felt it was too cheap for them.

What had he been like for those twenty years of his life? How could they be overthrown so easily?

He knew Wen Jingsen and Xu Wei and knew at what point it would be most painful for them to fall…

Wen Yu left indifferently, just as this place had been renovated, and he stayed over.

He turned on the lights, went inside, washed up, and went to bed. It was nothing unusual.

Even if this was the "home" he had built in advance for himself to live in after leaving the Wen family, it was nothing special.

But at this moment, as he watched Chi Zhengzheng go upstairs happily and could faintly hear her exclaim. Wen Yu also felt that the house looked even better.

-It was as if this was his home, a place that was completely different from the Wen house.

There weren't particularly many rooms that could be occupied in the main building, and it was clear that the visitors were staying in the annex.

But Chi Zhengzheng didn't know that. It was dark when she had just entered, and she hadn't even noticed that there were two annexes.

But the rooms that were livable upstairs still left her with a shocked look on her face. Each one was bigger than the one she had in the Chi house, and the layout a little more refined and comfortable.

There was a room on the first floor that was clearly the master bedroom, and when Chi Zhengzheng took a peek inside, there was something in there that showed signs of being occupied.

-Apparently, Wen Yu was living there.

She hurriedly withdrew her eyes and went to look at the other rooms.

The other rooms were brand new and showed no signs of occupancy.

Chi Zhengzheng picked up the room at the end of the second floor. It wasn't significant compared to the master bedroom, but there is a relatively large terrace. Just think about lying on the railing, looking at the garden behind, or sitting on this terrace to bask in the sun. It was so beautiful.

After deciding where to live, she immediately went downstairs, "ta, ta, ta," because she was walking fast, and her footsteps were very clear.

Wen Yu looked up and looked over.

Before he could even see her face, Chi Zhengzheng's voice came out…

"Your house is so nice, isn't it? Every room is superb. I chose the room at the far end of the first floor. Can I stay there?"

Although that room was definitely unoccupied, it was still necessary to ask Wen Yu, the owner.

Of course, he had no objections and nodded, "Yes."

"By the way, Wen Yu, I'm going out to buy some clothes. Have you eaten? Are you still working tonight?" She asked again.

Wen Yu's eyebrows relaxed, and there was a little smile in his eyes, "I'm not working tonight, someone will bring you clothes later, and Auntie Wang will come over to cook dinner."

"Huh?" Chi Zhengzheng froze. "How is it this good…"

Cooking was still one thing. Even the clothes were considered, would this… be a little too good?

"Wasn't I the one who told you to stop packing?" Wen Yu looked at her, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, his smile noticeable.

Chi Zhengzheng: "…" She had almost forgotten that Wen Yu had said this when she was at the Chi house.

She looked serious: "That's fine, I'll owe you another favor this time, but I'll buy all these myself in the future."

Seeing how serious she was, Wen Yu nodded his head.

Chi Zhengzheng sighed with relief and was grateful to Wen Yu in her heart; she didn't have much money in her pocket, which was really inconvenient.

Auntie Wang was a gentle-looking middle-aged woman, she was full of smiles when she arrived, and once she saw Chi Zhengzheng, her smile got even wider. The ambiguous look made her not even know what to say.

But Auntie Wang was not talkative. Other than asking them what dish they wanted to eat, she didn't mention Chi Zhengzheng and Wen Yu at all. Even if her look was ambiguous, as long as she didn't say it, she wouldn't rush to explain… she was actually just a tenant.

While Mrs. Wang was cooking in the kitchen, the clothes deliverer also rushed over.

Apparently, one of Wen Yu's secretaries, a seriously dressed woman in her thirties, an industry elite at first glance, wearing a suit and high heels and walking vigorously and solemnly.

She also brought two shopping guide ladies who were wearing shopping mall clothes, and the clothes were in their hands.

"Boss, it's all here." The secretary's attitude was respectful.

Wen Yu nodded and looked at Chi Zhengzheng, "Show her."

"Yes." That secretary turned her head to look at Chi Zhengzheng, her expression unchanged, still serious and respectful, her eyes focused.

The two shopping guide ladies behind her were probably younger and were always sneaking glances at the house, Wen Yu and Chi Zhengzheng.

"Hello, madam, these are the pajamas for you, three sets in total, each in small and medium sizes." She said, reaching out and pointing to the pajamas in one of the guides' hands.

The three sets of pajamas were in three different styles altogether, elegant, luxurious, and lovely, but all, no doubt, very nice to look at.

"May I ask which set you prefer? If none of them are satisfactory, there are still…" She took out her tablet and a myriad of pajama styles on the interface.

"This one, in a small size, will do!" Chi Zhengzheng interrupted her and hurriedly pointed at one of the sets.

-This rack was a bit intimidating.

Moreover, this secretary always reminded her of the Environmental Protection Bureau leader where she used to work. Every time she saw the leader, it was like seeing the grade director when she was in school. She was frightened.

"Okay." The secretary nodded with a serious face, "There are a few more sets in a similar style. We'll send them tomorrow."

Chi Zhengzheng: "… No, no need."

Such a big fuss?!

She looked to Wen Yu, who was also looking at them, and seeing this, he said to the secretary in an icy voice: "The rest don't need to be delivered."

– She seemed to prefer to get it herself?

"Okay." The secretary nodded.

Chi Zhengzheng let out a long breath, finally feeling slightly more relaxed.

At this point, the secretary put on her serious face and pointed at another large box: "This is underwear. I brought sizes XX to XX. What size do you need, madam?"

Chi Zhengzheng: "…"!!!

Her eyes went black, and she felt deeply suffocated.

She didn't really want to discuss what size of underwear she needed in public!

And in front of Wen Yu, no less?

Her face flushed red with shame.

The inexperienced Wen Yu froze, then realized that she was… shy?

The ice-cube-faced secretary remained serious: "Madam, it is common for people not to be shy."

-They all thought that Chi Zhengzheng was shy.

Chi Zhengzheng: "…"

Is this me being f*cking shy?! I'm f*cking pissed!!!

She covered her face, embarrassed: "… Well, is there a smaller one?"
