In the main hall of the Chi family, everyone was watching Chi Mu Jiu and Du Heng Yan with keen interest.
Chi Mu Jiu was still feeling conflicted inside when Du Heng Yan spoke up beside her. "Thank you for the Chi family's invitation. Today, Jiu Jiu is here specifically to discuss our marriage, so there's no need to stay for dinner. Recently, Jiu Jiu has developed a new taste, and besides, I promised her that I would cook lunch today. The brothers at home are still waiting."
That was a splendid response; Du Heng Yan truly lived up to his reputation.
Upon hearing this, Chi Feng didn't say much more, though he looked somewhat uncomfortable. A man like Boss Du, who doted on Miss Chi and even cooked for her personally, was indeed hard to come by.
"Then I suppose I should eat a bit more at today's meal," Ling Yun teased, glancing at Chi Qi Yun.
"Madam, home, always cooking for you," Du Heng Yan said lightly as he tightened his embrace around the beautiful woman in his arms.
"Alright, just like we discussed last night. Spicy."
"No problem; everything has already been prepared."
"Great! Hug me, home!"
Du Heng Yan effortlessly lifted her into his arms with one hand. "As you command, my dear wife."
Indeed, a woman's heart is as elusive as a needle in the ocean. Just moments ago, she had been hesitant and resistant to being carried by him; now she couldn't bear to be apart from him even for a second.
Watching the sweet couple gradually walk away, Chi Feng let out a heavy sigh.
Ji Yu Yan and Chi Qi Yun remained silent throughout; this family no longer had a place for either of them. However, regarding Chi Qi Yun's previous misdeeds and behavior, Chi Feng still chose to forgive her. Perhaps in his heart, after all those years together with his partner, he couldn't bring himself to completely sever ties.
In the car...
"What’s wrong, darling? Lost in thought again?"
"No, I was just wondering why Ling Yun appeared at the Chi family. It doesn’t make sense!"
Chi Mu Jiu was genuinely puzzled.
"Are you that curious? Ling Yun helped a lot with this mission. The black gambling syndicate is complicated, and having her as an insider made things much easier."
"What do you mean?"
"Du Heng Yan, you didn’t go and take down all the families behind the black gambling syndicate, did you?"
Her eyes widened in disbelief.
"Well, isn’t that just a matter of convenience?" Du Heng Yan chuckled.
Chi Mu Jiu finally started to catch on!
Something was off!
She had underestimated Du Heng Yan's influence. For the black gambling syndicate mission, he could easily bring people to visit the families behind the scenes without needing to participate in any gambling events!
It was all a scheme, just a ploy to make her happy!
"Du Heng Yan! Are you lying to me?!" she gritted her teeth.
"How can this be considered lying? My dear lady cares about me, and I naturally cannot let her sincere heart go to waste."
Though Du Heng Yan wore a half-smile, Chi Mu Jiu could see through the confident control he exuded.
"It’s just a little journey to enhance our relationship, my lady."
For the black gambling syndicate, he simply wanted to show off his 'goddess of gambling' wife.
It seemed that his lady wasn’t too foolish after all; she had caught on to his intentions now.
As he laughed, the car had already driven far from the Chi family home.
Du Heng, you really have a thousand tricks up your sleeve!
You're trying to trick me into marriage!
I didn't! It was you, my lady, who brought up the idea of marriage. If I remember correctly, you mentioned it three times.
You!!
Chi Mu Jiu felt both embarrassed and angry, turning her head away in a feigned pout.
"Don't be mad, my wife. Marrying me means you've tied the knot with me. I'm more than willing to cook every day, do the housework, and earn money for you to spend. It would be best if you could max out my credit card!"
Of course, I also provide companionship services at night. The nine-month period is almost up; are you considering renewing our contract, Jiu Jiu?
Du Heng drove while speaking, his eyes not on her, but Chi Mu Jiu could imagine the stars shining in his gaze.
She pretended to be huffy and took out the warm marriage certificate they had just received, waving it in his peripheral vision.
"We've already renewed!"
