Chapter 0027 – You Investigate Me? (2 / 2)

Su Wanqing knew deep down that wanting to escape today seemed to have become a bubble, and a complex emotion surged in her heart.

……

The Diners Club, a secluded and upscale retreat in the city.

Su Wanqing stopped at the door, her heart seemed to be clenched tightly by a big invisible hand, every breath seemed to become extraordinarily difficult, and a premonition told her that everything that would follow would be beyond the ordinary.

“What did you bring me here for?”

She looked up at Qi Zhi Iu beside her, her mind filled with confusion.

“Got a date to play ball.”

Qi Zhi Iu gently pressed the button of the elevator, with a hint of casualness in his tone, as if this was all a perfectly natural thing to do.

“But I don’t really know how to play pool ……”

Before her words fell, the elevator doors slowly opened, Qi Zhi Iu gently wrapped over her waist, intending to enter together. She, on the other hand, is like a tree rooted in the ground, motionless, firm and silent.

“Hmm?”

Qi Zhi Iu’s eyes instantly darkened, as if harboring thousands of storm clouds, “Su Wanqing, what do you mean by this?”

Su Wanqing grasped the bag in her hand, took a deep breath, and summoned up the courage to confess, “I’m really not very good at ……”

“You’re at least in the top three of people I’ve ever met for pool skills.”

Qi Zhiyu interrupted coldly, her words were filled with unquestionable certainty, “What, you could show your ball skills for Li Yanzhou back then, but now you can’t accompany your own husband to enjoy a game of fun?”

Su Wanqing’s throat tightened for a moment, shock and disbelief intertwined in her heart, she violently raised her head and locked eyes with him, “You …… you investigated me?”

Yes, she does play billiards, and with extraordinary skill.

The scene mentioned by Qi Zhiyu’s mouth happened in the first year she first arrived in Yan City.

At that time, Li Yanzhou was ostracized by the other members of the family due to his status as an illegitimate child, and she secretly gave a lot of help.

In order to Fu’s mother’s medical expenses, Li Yanzhou had to accept a seemingly easy but difficult billiards challenge, and she, precisely at that time, accompanied him, to help him through the difficult times of the key figure.

“Hey, do you think I need to investigate you specifically?”

The corner of Qi Zhiyu’s mouth hooked up a sneer, “You and Li Yanzhou’s past, that sensational ‘good story’, have you forgotten yourself?”

“If you want me to play ball with you, I have no objection. But ……”

She scanned the interior of the club again, trying to calm her inner turmoil, “Can we change the location?”

“Why does it have to be a different place?”

Qi Zhiyu’s eyes narrowed slightly, revealing an elusive and dangerous aura, “Could it be that you’re worried that you’ll meet someone you don’t want to see here?”

“Sort of an old acquaintance, but not my old acquaintance.”

Su Wanqing lowered her head, her eyes half-converging, and after a moment of contemplation, she replied, “Young Master Qi, I’m sure you yourself have a good idea of what you’ve done in this club over the years.”

Those past, those women who had once gathered here because of him, and the roles they played, Su Wanqing had not forgotten.

She wonders if he remembers every move he made here, if he remembers the trajectory of those lives that changed because of his presence.

“Do you need me to gather all the people in the club so you can identify them one by one?”

Qi Zhiyu’s words were flirtatious, yet an imperceptible smirk remained hidden between his brows.
