A Delightful Marriage with Twins Chapter 12

The atmosphere within the booth became tense and the previous laughter was gone.

The chatty women shut their mouths as they knew that Chu Tianyi hated clamor when he was mad.

Chu Tianyi looked around with a stern face before asking coldly, “Who hired those men to follow He Yi?”

Nobody answered. Su Anqi lowered her head subconsciously and her eyes were avoidant.

“Anqi?” shouted Chu Tianyi.

Su Anqi became frightened and denied it quickly. “It wasn’t me!”

Chu Piaoyun interrupted when Chu Tianyi was shooting lasers at Su Anqi with his eyes. “Do you have to get to the bottom of this trivial matter? He Yi is a troublemaker who escaped from the He family, we can’t just let her roam in Yun City without doing anything!”

Chu Tianyi drew the inference from her words and understood that she was the one who sent those men. Since he was not in the position to lash out at Su Piaoyun, he turned to Su Anqi again. “You are the one who told her that He Yi is out of prison, isn’t it?”

That had to be the case.

Su Anqi panicked. She knew that Chu Tianyi was angry from his tone based on her many years of living with him. “It just…slipped out when we were chatting.” Then, she gave Chu Piaoyun a helpless gaze to ask for help.

Chu Piaoyun’s expression was unchanged when she said in a righteous manner, “I will find out sooner or later even if Su Anqi didn’t tell me! Are you planning to hide it from me forever?”

“I hope that this ends here!” Chu Tianyi stared at her aunt and declared in a serious tone. “Aunt, I don’t want Wan Wan to get affected.”

He Yi was still Wan Wan’s mother, after all. Wan Wan would never forgive him after she grew up if they got rid of He Yi. 

The others understood Chu Tianyi’s intention and none of them could think of a reason to rebut him.

After all, He Yi who was just released from prison did not have money, power nor connections so she was merely a weak presence. She would not be a threat to anyone present there.

Chu Piaoyun did not oppose Chu Tianyi further after his declaration and she kept quiet despite her internal resentment.

Su Anqi was frustrated. She could not endure that Chu Tianyi still had feelings for He Yi even to this day. ‘No way, I have to find a way to get rid of He Yi.’ She was determined to get rid of her and chase her off Yun City.

He Yi ran out of Guibin Hotel and looked around to see that no one else was stalking her. She heaved a sigh of relief for finally escaping danger.

She was just about to stop a cab when a muscular figure appeared.

“Miss He, let me send you back!” Yi Liangze maintained his elegance and suggested casually.

He knew that He Yi was as poor as a church mouse after getting released from prison so there was no way that she could afford a car. Therefore, he was confident with the answer to his suggestion.

He Yi had to look up to see Yi Liangze. She had to cover her eyes with her hand as she could not adjust to his warm, bright smile after staying in a dark environment for some time.

“What’s the matter?” Yi Liangze tilted his head slightly in confusion.

“The spring sun is blinding.” He Yi gave him a polite smile and replied softly, “I forgot my sunglasses.”

“Oh.” Yi Liangze continued staring at her and suggested, “There’s an eyewear store nearby.”

She became speechless. He was going to take her to get a new pair of sunglasses although she just mentioned it casually! ‘Isn’t this a little too much?’

*

He Yi walked out of the eyewear store with the latest imported luxury sunglasses which gave her plus points in terms of appearance.

The current He Yi looked confident and sophisticated. She was a totally different person from the girl who just got released from prison the other day!

She turned to give Yi Liangze a light polite smile. “Thank you, Young Master Yi! I will buy you a meal in the future!”

Yi Liangze had been accompanying her in choosing the sunglasses and he insisted to pay for it. She did not refuse because she knew that they could only get closer to each other with the exchange of favors. Even if they could not be friends, she would at least be his acquaintance. She guessed that he would not be unfriendly when she asks for his help in the future not to mention he might give face to her for Ziqiao.

Yi Liangze seemed to be oblivious as to her master plan. He stared at the pretty and sophisticated woman beside her as a hint of surprise flashed past his eyes. He maintained the slight smile on his face and asked in a casual tone with his nice voice, “There’s no need to wait till the next time we meet. How about we have lunch today?”

He Yi almost choked on water. ‘He’s…pretty straightforward.’

It was indeed late. He Yi figured that she was obligated to treat him to a meal since he helped her to catch the bad men and bought her a pair of sunglasses, not to mention she planned to ask for his favor in the future.

The Red House Starred French Restaurant.

The interiors of the private booth had a unique and exotic touch, but not suffocating. Separated from the next booth, it was the perfect setting for couples or friends to have a talk. The restaurant clearly put remarkable effort into the design of the layout.

He Yi found this place after searching online. It had great reviews amongst all the high-end Western restaurants in Yun City.

She took a seat and ordered a great feast. She also ordered two bottles of ten years old wine.

Even Yi Zeliang who was a member of the high society in Yun City was a little astonished while staring at the price of the two bottles of wine. He could not help but gave her another meaningful glance.

He Yi knew that he was concerned with whether she was able to pay for all that! This meal would be unbelievably expensive and she did not look like she could afford such a luxurious meal since she just got out of prison. Therefore, her conduct was indeed something to think about.

Perhaps Yi Zeliang was guessing that she would offer him the meal but let him pay the bill after that.

He Yi chuckled internally when she thought of that and sat even more firmly. She thanked the waiter who poured their wine before raising her glass elegantly to Yi Zeliang. “Cheers.”

Yi Zeliang fixed his deep, dark eyes at her and smiled with enthusiasm. “Cheers.”

The both of them clinked their glasses before taking a sip of the wine. Yi Zeliang put down his glass and said unhurriedly, “Miss He, you seem like a quiet lady, and yet you can also be brisk like a bunny. You are indeed a unique woman!”

He Yi’s reservedness turned into awkwardness from his words as her previous act of using a taser on the man in black was far from her elegant character. It was clear that Yi Liangze was teasing her for pretending to be a word lady when she was clearly a tough one. The contrast was huge.

He Yi had been through a lot. Therefore, she was not easily embarrassed nor would she be triggered just because of a few words. She recovered her expression quickly and blinked self-deprecatingly. “To be frank, I have more ultimate skills yet to be shown, I guarantee that you will be surprised!”

“Oh.” Yi Liangze was indeed enthusiastic. “Based on how good you were in using the taser, you indeed have the moves. What other secret weapons do you have?”

He Yi opened the zipper to get the pepper spray. She aimed it at Yi Liangze and pretended like she was going to spray him.

Yi Liangze coughed lightly and gave her a thumbs up in admiration. “A woman with an edge is ruthless indeed! Only a blind person would have the guts to provoke you, even those who are not blind will turn blind after triggering you!”

He Yi sensed some hidden meaning behind his words as she played with the pepper spray. She blinked with confusion and asked out of curiosity, “What do you mean?”

Yi Liangze did not answer her straight away. He cut his steak with silver cutlery and chewed slowly to enjoy the juicy fine meat before looking up with satisfaction to show his acknowledgment of the restaurant’s taste. He swallowed the food slowly and used a napkin to wipe the juice off the knife. “Both the drunkards are in a terrible state! The huge one almost got his eyes clawed off whereas the skinny one had a fracture in his arm from the accident. They are currently lying in the hospital while waiting for trial for drunk driving.”

He was referring to the two thugs who were going to run He Yi over but got knocked over by Yi Liangze’s Porsche instead on the first time the both of them met.

He Yi listened with a blank expression. She knew that those drunkards were doomed but she did not expect it to be this serious!

After a moment, she raised her glass with a grin. “That’s such good news, we should celebrate! Cheers!”

The two of them raised their glasses and devoured the wine, not noticing the pair of huge spirited eyes akin to black grapes staring at them without blinking.
