Two-Faced Husband, Have Some Decency!

Chapter 138: Qi Chengzhi Was Putting On An Act To Gain Song Yu’s Affection

”Didn’t I say I will pick you up? It’s just a minor injury, don’t worry,” he said as he pressed a tissue against the wound. Blood seeped through the flimsy material.

”You can’t ignore your injury so that you can pick me up! I’m worried about you, and you are making me worry more by doing this.” Song Yu removed his hand from his head, checking the wound. It was not as bad as she thought it would be. She breathed a sigh of relief.

However, the fact that the bleeding did not stop worried her. ”It’s still bleeding. You need to disinfect and stop the bleeding, not just mop it up with a tissue.”

The cut on Qi Chengzhi’s forehead was the size of a Nin Jiom Herbal Cough Syrup bottle top. The wound was small, but it did not stop Song Yu from worrying about it.

Qi Chengzhi masked his pain in hopes of belaying her worries, but she could not stop her emotions as she stared at his handsome face now marred.

It had to have hurt—it was an open wound after all.

Tears welled in her eyes. Qi Chengzhi’s nonchalance made her heart ache.

”Chang Lai, please make a stop at the hospital,” Song Yu’s voice trembled as she spoke.

”It’s fine. I don’t want to be late. It’s the first time your mom has sincerely invited me, and she even prepared my favorite dishes. I don’t want to give a bad impression,” Qi Chengzhi insisted. His face was pale, as he laid back.

”I’m sure my mom will understand,” assured Song Yu as she watched Cheng Lai take the turn that placed them on the path to the hospital.

Qi Chengzhi fell silent, spotting the tears that filled her eyes.

Chang Lai sneaked a glance at the rearview mirror, allowing his curiosity to prevail.

He noted the change in the director’s mannerisms. Before Song Yu had gotten in Qi Chengzhi had been quite energetic, dabbing at the wound with his tissue while assessing the damage through his phone. He even took a few work-related calls.

In the presence of Song Yu, however, all his vigor had evaporated, leaving behind a man weak with suffering who was still trying to brave the injury. It garnered plenty of sympathies.

Chan Lai knew a ruse when he saw one, and this was a rouse. Although, he did doubt its success.

The following conversation placed him in his place.

Song Yu gently slung an arm around his neck, allowing him to gently rest his head on her shoulder. ”Does it hurt?”

”It’s bearable. Just a slight headache.” Qi Chengzhi’s baritone voice dipped lower into a pitiful, frail mumble. The weak murmurs against her neck tugged sharply at her heart.

Chang Lai pursed his lips together.

”How did you get into an accident? You’re usually so cautious when you drive.” Song Yu pulled out another tissue and pressed it to the wound.

Qi Chengzhi did not answer. Chang Lai understood his silence, and, thinking on his feet, quickly said, ”It was Manager Jian.

”I don’t know what’s wrong with him. The director was making a turn when Manager Jian slammed into the car’s rear. The director’s car swerved and got into a second collision with another car. The injury came from the successive collisions.”

”Is he insane?” Song Yu exclaimed.

”I’m fine,” Qi Chengzhi smiled and pinched Song Yu’s hand.

This reaffirmed Chang Lai’s hypothesis—the director was putting on an act.

A moment later, Qi Chengzhi’s phone rang. It was Cheng Dongge.

”It’s probably the investigation,” Qi Chengzhi said.

”Let me.” Song Yu took the phone. ”Special Assistant Cheng, this is Song Yu.”

”Miss Song,” Cheng Dongge greeted audibly while side-eyeing Jian Yi. Jian Yi shot him a look of pure hatred.

”The cause of the accident has been determined to be tailgating,” Cheng Dongge spoke into the phone.

Jian Yi, despite being the cause of the accident, had walked away from the accident without even a scratch to his person or his car. Irrespective of intentions, the damage has been done.

Song Yu bit her lip, ”Was it intentional?”

”This… The police have yet to decide. But, in my honest opinion, I think it is.”

…

…

Qi Chengzhi’s wound was promptly treated, upon their arrival at the hospital. After a few questions about the injury, the doctor called for a brain scan.

Song Yu dialed home as she waited.

”Why aren’t you guys back? The dishes are ready,” fussed Yu Qianyin once Song Yu identified herself.

”Qi Chengzhi got into an accident. We’re at the hospital for a check-up. If everything is alright, we should be back soon,” Song Yu explained.

”What happened? Is it serious?” The alarm in Yu Qianyin’s voice was evident.
