Xu Tingyu was certainly not one to take an insult lying down. She immediately sent Shu Shu to find out what had happened.
As an agent who had made a name for herself in the entertainment industry and led her team to such a high position, she couldn't be someone who didn't know how to conduct herself.
So something must have happened in between.
It didn't matter if someone had a grudge against her, but they couldn't have any issues with their company.
After Shu Shu went to inquire about the matter, Xu Tingyu continued to practice dancing. As soon as she stepped out of the door, she saw Qi Shifeng bringing You You to find her.
"Why are you guys here?"
Xu Tingyu hadn't seen You You for a few days. As soon as she saw the child, she immediately beamed and leaned over, ready to take You You into her arms.
Seeing that she was wearing sportswear and carrying a bag in her hand, Qi Shifeng knew that she was about to go practice dancing.
"Postpone it for a while today. I need to talk to you about something."
Hearing the serious tone, Xu Tingyu's heart skipped a beat.
Oh no, was there more bad news?
Seeing her stunned, Qi Shifeng softened his tone. "Don't be scared. Come inside first."
After they entered the room, Qi Shifeng let You You go play by herself while he sat on the sofa with Xu Tingyu.
"You contacted Qi Ye?"
He still looked as cold and calm as ever, but where Xu Tingyu couldn't see, his knuckles dug into his palm as if he was suppressing his emotions.
Xu Tingyu was taken aback. "Yes. Did he tell you?"
It was strange. This wasn't the first time she had contacted Qi Ye. What was the problem?
Qi Shifeng stared intently at her. "When something happens, why don't you contact me first?"
Was he here to pick a fight?
Xu Tingyu immediately felt her "fighting spirit" ignited.
"Mr. Qi, your question is very strange. No one has ever stipulated that I can't contact Qi Ye, and no one has ever said that I have to come to you for help when something happens."
"However, your behavior of meddling in my private affairs makes me very uncomfortable. I hope that Mr. Qi will stop overstepping the line."
She stared fearlessly into his eyes.
Qi Shifeng remained silent, just looking at her without blinking. He seemed calm on the surface.
In fact, his tightly pursed lips and tense jaw had already betrayed his emotions.
"Did he help you solve the problem after you contacted him?"
After a brief silence, Qi Shifeng suddenly showed a smile, but it was only fleeting and shallow.
Xu Tingyu felt an inexplicable sense of unease.
"What do you want to say?"
His behavior was torture for her.
"Xu Tingyu, you're very smart, but you're too naive. You're so naive that you think everyone is a good person."
"Oh, no. You think everyone is a good person, and only I'm a bad guy."
Qi Shifeng still spoke in a calm tone, and it was hard to tell if he was angry or not.
But somehow, it gave people an indescribable sense of oppression.
"You're not a good person anyway."
Xu Tingyu almost didn't think before she retorted.
Qi Shifeng tightened his fingers and took a deep breath. "Fine. Since you think I'm not a good person, I don't need to pretend anymore."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Tingyu's alarm bells went off in her head.
But before she could react, the next second, she was already being lifted up by the waist. Then, with a dizzying spin, she was sitting on Qi Shifeng's lap.
Her scalp tingled in an instant, and she blurted out, "Qi Shifeng, what are you crazy about now? Do you want to force yourself on me again?"
"Or is the real purpose of all these inexplicable words just to take advantage of me? I never knew you were so despicable before."
The two of them were in a very intimate position, but the air was filled with a tense atmosphere.
So all his efforts during this period were just to take advantage of her in her eyes.
Qi Shifeng clicked his tongue. His face remained expressionless, but in his deep eyes, it was like the water in a cold pool, unfathomable.
"Since you think so, wouldn't it seem very inhumane of me if I don't do as you think?"
He smiled faintly. His chest vibrated slightly, and the anger in his eyes could no longer be hidden. It seemed as if he wanted to burn her to ashes.
Xu Tingyu didn't understand what he meant by "do as she thought" when his kiss landed on her lips.
After all, she wasn't as shameless as him. She was worried that You You was still inside watching cartoons, so she didn't dare to shout loudly.
She could only passively accept this kiss that seemed violent but was somehow gentle.
When he finally pulled away from her lips, the corners of his eyes were tinged with a hint of lust.
Under the light, he had a captivating charm.
But Xu Tingyu was furious. Her face was red, and she scolded him angrily, "You crazy person. Let me go quickly."
"I'm crazy because of you, Xu Tingyu. Do you really think I have a good temper?"
Qi Shifeng's eyes were cold, but there was still an innocent smile on his lips.
"Is it really worth all your trouble to find your old flame just because that pretty boy who has his eye on you is in trouble?"
"Are you really worried that the pretty boy will die, or are you just using this as an opportunity to reconnect with your old flame?"
His voice was so clear and harsh in the quiet living room.
A surge of anger welled up in Xu Tingyu.
She was trapped in his arms and couldn't struggle free. She could only glare at him angrily. "That's my private affair. What does it have to do with you? What right do you have to interfere in my business?"
"I don't have the right to interfere in your business. Then who do you think has the right?"
Qi Shifeng held her hands tightly, and his eyes were cold.
"Anyway, it's not you, my ex-husband. We're no longer related in the eyes of the law."
"Qi Shifeng, if you like meddling in other people's business so much, why don't you move to the Pacific Ocean? You can have plenty of things to manage there."
If looks could kill, Qi Shifeng would have been torn to pieces by her.
But the man had somehow become thick-skinned and ignored her angry looks. Instead, he let out a low laugh from his throat.
"So you want to talk to me about the law? Fine. I'll ask you. You've seen a marriage certificate, but have you ever seen a divorce certificate?"
"So far, have you ever received a legally valid divorce certificate? Hmm? Wife."
He stared at her rosy lips. When he spoke, it was simply a provocation.
Xu Tingyu's eyes widened.
She really hadn't received a divorce certificate, but she had signed the divorce agreement and had been away for four years.
She thought that Old Master Qi had taken care of everything.
But now, what this man meant was that they were still legally recognized as husband and wife?
Noticing her shock and stiffness, Qi Shifeng let out a low laugh.
"Disappointed? As a wife who abandoned her husband and child and left home for four years, you're really heartless."
"But it doesn't matter. My son and I both love you, so we'll accept your heartlessness."
He hugged her, and his hand gently stroked her back, slowly gliding over her slender shoulder blades.
From any angle, they looked like a deeply in love couple.
If it weren't for the smoldering anger in his eyes.
Xu Tingyu was completely stiff. She was so shocked by the fact that they were still not divorced that she didn't even hear him say that he and his son both loved her.
Qi Shifeng's warm fingertips moved to her lips.
"However, no matter how magnanimous I am and can accept your betrayal in the past four years, I will never accept your wavering after you come back."
"I've already warned you. You're mine. You've got me wrapped around your finger, but you want to run away? Don't even think about it!"
