Chapter 31: Big Misunderstanding
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
For no reason, Chi Yaoxi felt a little nervous. It was still a little unnatural to be alone with this man. His cold and handsome face was good-looking, but she did not dare to take another look.
Chi Yaoxi was still letting her imagination run wild when she heard the man’s voice. His tone was low and cold. “If you have someone you like, you can date him. Just don’t let Chenchen know.” freewebno vel.com
Someone she liked? Date??Chi Yaoxi looked to the side, feeling extremely awkward, momentarily not knowing what to do.
The man’s meaning was very clear. He must be referring to her relationship with Xiao Ye. The little fellow had just asked about this and she had explained that they were friends. At that time, Chi Yaoxi felt that the man glanced at her and his expression was a little strange. Because his face was always black, it was really hard to guess this man’s true emotions.
Was it because when Li Qianming met Xiao Ye, it was always at night? Chi Yaoxi recalled, moreover, it was in her own room? Sigh!?Chi Yaoxi really wanted to find a hole to hide in. She was an innocent person who did nothing!
She and Xiao Ye were old friends.
My god! This is a huge misunderstanding!?Chi Yaoxi’s cheeks were flushed red. She was both embarrassed and anxious as she explained incoherently, “No, it’s not what you think. It’s just an ordinary classmate and friend relationship.”
When Li Qianming heard the woman’s words, his gaze darkened and he frowned impatiently. Subconsciously, he asked, “Do ordinary friends stay together at night?”
Chi Yaoxi was stunned and didn’t dare to look into the man’s eyes. She actually couldn’t refute these words, but she and Xiao Ye were ordinary friends to begin with, and it could be said that they were good brothers. The two of them had never crossed the line or had improper thoughts. freew(e)bnovel.com
Sigh! There was no way she could clear her name and this made Chi Yaoxi very depressed.
Li Qianming immediately calmed down. He knew he shouldn’t care so much. Although the two of them had already registered their marriage, the contract clearly stated that both parties had the freedom to date and that they would not interfere with each other’s private lives.
Li Qianming realized that he had said too much. Seeing the woman’s embarrassed look, he added calmly, “It’s alright, I’m saying that you can have your own private life as long as it doesn’t affect Chenchen.”
Chi Yaoxi was only thinking about Li Qianming’s words. She turned her head unintentionally and suddenly realized that there were more and more people sitting around the originally empty dining table. There were men and women, all adults.
Everyone looked in her direction, their eyes filled with inquiry, doubt, and accusation…
She did not wear a mask during the meal and would definitely be recognized as a superstar. However, Chi Yaoxi clearly saw that the gazes of the onlookers were very unfriendly. She had an ominous feeling.
While Chi Yaoxi was still thinking, a bold woman in a red dress among the crowd picked up her phone and took photos of Chi Yaoxi.
Chi Yaoxi quickly put on her mask and explained to those people in a low voice, “You can’t take photos casually. This is violating human rights.”
The red dress ignored her and took a few more photos from different angles. After taking the photos, she put down her phone and said angrily, “Why? How dare you come out to eat? I can’t take photos? You killed her, and you still have the mood to enjoy yourself here!”
Before Chi Yaoxi could react, the busybodies around her chimed in with the red dress.
“That’s right. I really couldn’t tell that the refined and cultured Miss Chi was actually a vicious woman!”
“The superstar, Madam Ye Ruifang, has already been killed by you and hasn’t been buried yet. You murderer, you actually have the mood to laugh here!”
Was that what everyone thought? The police had already found evidence and it had nothing to do with her. How could these people frame good people??The more anxious Chi Yaoxi was to argue, the more incoherent she became. She was so anxious that she could not speak. “It’s not like that, no! I didn’t…”
In front of so many people who opposed her, Chi Yaoxi’s words were suppressed and no one listened to her explanation.
Li Qianming was also a little confused by this sudden situation. Initially, he had chosen a private restaurant for Chi Yaoxi’s sake. He had wanted to avoid those busybodies, spectators, and media reporters. He had not expected to be discovered.
Chi Yaoxi had no way to deal with those nearly crazy people after seeing that there were more and more onlookers around and that there were all kinds of nasty things that were said.
Li Qianming glanced at Chi Yaoxi and whispered, “Let’s go!”
Chi Yaoxi understood and quickly stood up to follow the man. They had only taken a few steps when the crowd became even more restless.
“Don’t let her run away! Hurry over! Block her!”
“The murderer is here. We have to arrest her and hand her over to the police!”
A few burly women rushed forward and blocked Chi Yaoxi and the man’s path.
“You! Trying to run away? It’s not that easy! The superstar, Miss Ye Ruifang, is our idol. You killed her just like that! You cruel and vicious woman!”
The people around her started to disturb her. They looked at Chi Yaoxi fiercely and used all sorts of methods to curse her.
It happened so suddenly that the scene was extremely chaotic. Faced with so many people watching and scolding her, Chi Yaoxi was completely dumbfounded.
Li Qianming hadn’t expected things to escalate to this extent. He was just about to call his assistant Ling Yue and ask him to send reinforcements to resolve this matter when he saw that there were many reporters outside the crowd.
They pushed the crowd aside and rushed in front of the two of them. The cameras and video recorders in their hands were not idle as they took pictures of the scene.
A few reporters quickly rushed to Chi Yaoxi and ran so fast that they almost knocked her down. They aimed their microphones at her and asked seriously.
“Miss Chi Yaoxi, I heard that you were arrested for committing a crime. Did someone spend a fortune to release you?”
“Miss Chi Yaoxi, may I ask if you’ve been plotting to murder Ye Ruifang?”
“Are you involved in this murder case?”
Faced with the pressurizing and threatening questions from the media reporters, Chi Yaoxi was at a loss. This was the first time she was speechless in front of so many people. Chi Yaoxi knew very well that someone must have followed her to this private restaurant that Li Qianming had brought her.
Unhappiness came one after another. This was really a wave that came one after another. Chi Yaoxi lamented the unfairness of fate, and was on the brink of tears.
The police station had already released her. Who was the one who was still chasing after her relentlessly and making her continue to be embroiled in this ugly murder case?
