Campus Ace Girl

Chapter 1264: Chapter 1364: Backdoor Scandal 2

Chu Ci was initially stunned, but then understood. He was not flustered; instead, he said calmly, "Bring it over."

"No need," Zhao Mo Ran said with a faint smile, "Perhaps the manager made a mistake."

She gave him a way out like this. He should have felt that she was very considerate, but Chu Ci was not happy at all... He looked at her and said in a calm voice, "Bring it over."

In fact, he didn’t remember who he ordered it for, but it was certain that Secretary Yin had made the decision. So he asked the manager to bring it over. The manager was stunned, his gaze lingering on Zhao Mo Ran’s face. It took him a while to snap out of it and he hurriedly went to get it.

In about half a minute, he returned with a delicately crafted box. By then, Zhao Mo Ran was already sitting on the sofa, with Chu Ci accompanying her side by side.

The manager delivered the box, Chu Ci took it and weighed it in his hand before opening it after glancing at Zhao Mo Ran. It was indeed a very beautiful diamond necklace, the kind young girls liked. In this matter, Secretary Yin did a good job, but it was clearly not something a wealthy wife like Zhao Mo Ran would wear. How to put it — wearing it on ordinary occasions seems too much, yet it doesn’t have the presence for important occasions. It would suit a starlet.

Of course, Chu Ci could see this too. Perhaps he wasn’t thinking clearly; he reached out to take her hand, "Try it on."

Zhao Mo Ran smiled quietly, "It’s quite beautiful, but don’t you think it’s not suitable for me, Chu Ci?"

His gaze paused for a moment, his voice faint, "How could that be?"

As he spoke, he held her hand and personally helped her put it on and fasten it. She did not struggle and allowed him to assist, neither saying it looked bad nor explicitly stating it was beautiful, merely watching silently...

The manager beside them was dumbfounded. The temper of Mrs. Chu was too good, right? He had clearly let slip that the necklace was for someone else, but Mrs. Chu pretended not to know and still smiled as she wore it. This can only mean that wealthy wives manage themselves well, truly understand the bigger picture, otherwise how would Mr. Chu have so many flings outside but Mrs. Chu’s position remains solid? It was said that a clueless person who made a scene faced being thrown into a madhouse... Alas, when men are cruel, they really are cruel.

The manager who was used to flattering almost complimented the bracelet’s suitability, but then Chu Ci spoke up, "It’s not suitable, never mind."

The manager froze.

Looking again, indeed, it was unsuitable. Mrs. Chu’s arms were very slender, and the bracelet was actually a bit too large. Though beautiful, the bracelet did not match her aura and seemed unsuitable on her hand.

At that moment, the manager could not bring himself to say anything insincere. Perhaps this bracelet only suited San Er.

Zhao Mo Ran remained indifferent until Chu Ci tossed the item to the manager, she then said, "Keep it, it’ll be just as good to gift it to the right person."

Chu Ci’s body stiffened slightly, then he glared at her and ground his white teeth.

She was indeed generous.

Zhao Mo Ran packed the box away, smiled and said, "It saves Secretary Yin a trip, and after all, if a girl receives your gift personally, they might be happier."

Chu Ci found himself completely speechless.

The manager beside them was shocked.

Mrs. Chu’s level was high indeed; this degree of generosity is unreachable for most mistresses. Her generosity considered both her husband’s feelings and the mistress’s feelings... but there’s another possibility: Mrs. Chu simply didn’t care about Mr. Chu, otherwise why be so generous!

The manager’s thought aligned with Chu Ci’s. His face turned gloomy as he glared at Zhao Mo Ran, his look made her not doubt for a second that he wanted to strangle her.

However, no matter how angry he got, she truly didn’t care much; she just packed the item away in her bag, "I don’t have anything I want to pick, I’m a bit tired and want to go home."

Chu Ci ground his teeth out a "fine," then went to swipe the card. The manager watched them leave with a mix of happiness and concern.

In the car, Zhao Mo Ran remained calm. Shortly after sitting down, she took out the box from her bag and placed it in the storage compartment in his car; Chu Ci’s Adam’s apple shifted slightly, "What do you mean?"

His tone was not good, it’s like the pressure built from earlier was breaking.

Compared to his agitation, Zhao Mo Ran was much more composed, with a slight sigh, "Chu Ci, why do you think so complicatedly? Wasn’t it good that I gave you face outside, or do you want me to make a scene and shout about how you keep a woman outside and buy her such expensive things? You know, I’m not entitled."

"Do you feel you’re not entitled or you don’t want, or you don’t care, huh?" he reached out and pinched her chin, his voice sharp and sarcastic, "Zhao Mo Ran, you’re very clear in your heart."

Forced to look at him, it was quite a while until she managed a faint smile, "Chu Ci, do you really have to do this? Must you speak so bluntly so nastily? Okay, if you want to hear me say it, I’ll say it to you, and I’ll only say it once, then consider it yourself... how to proceed, how to manage the marriage."

His fingers remained clenched, she was in pain, but she remained very calm.

"Chu Ci, our way of interacting often makes me feel that I’m not your legitimate wife, you bought me with money as you said, maybe I only out-rank outside women in title or spend more time by your side; at most, I’ll have your child... I don’t actually know when you’ll bring a bastard child along too. This is the situation between us, you walk with me on the street saying you’re giving me something; even though it’s for someone else, why put it on my hand? Then tell me, have you truly cherished me? You being such a bastard, such a jerk, why should I expect anything from you, wouldn’t that make me too stupid?"

She said it all in one breath, and then laughed again, "I don’t even know how long I can stay with you, yet you want me to conflict with other women for your sake? Chu Ci then tell me, if I say I care and feel disgusted now, would you cut ties with those women outside, focus and live life with me? Could you say you love me and that we’ll be together forever?"

His expression turned even worse, staring at her without uttering a word...

Zhao Mo Ran again mocked herself with a smile, "See, you don’t even know or can’t do it, not even a single comforting word! Chu Ci, I have nothing in this marriage, just an empty shell of a title; you say east I can’t say west, today you want coaxing so I cannot be unhappy, even if I didn’t want to go out with you I had to, look, in just half a day, even the counter people know I’m wearing a green hat. Do you really think I’m happy being Mrs. Chu?"
