Chapter 279: Going Home
Following Mi Cai, Zhu Bufan arrived at the underground garage.
"Why aren't you going back? Why follow me?" Mi Cai turned around, surprised to see Zhu Bufan still behind her.
"Me? Go back?" Zhu Bufan replied, "You're my wife, my home is your home, and your home is my home. If I do go back, of course, it's together with you..."
"I can't be bothered with you..." Mi Cai glared fiercely at him and, after leaving those words, quickly got into the car.
Zhu Bufan moved swiftly and was already in the car before Mi Cai could get in.
"You... Zhu Bufan, what are you trying to do?" Mi Cai said uncomfortably.
"I'm not up to any mischief; I just want to go home with my wife!" Zhu Bufan said with a chuckle.
Hearing Zhu Bufan's words, Mi Cai didn't say anything, just released the handbrake and floored the gas pedal. The car 'swooshed' and dashed out of the underground garage.
"Are you trying to murder your husband, my dear wife..." Zhu Bufan said innocently.
Mi Cai felt like going crazy and started honking the horn furiously.
A Buick driving in front of Mi Cai, upon seeing her honking wildly behind him, looked at his car and then at Mi Cai's, with a sense of helplessness pulled to the side.
After all, his car was no match for Mi Cai's prestigious vehicle. Even if he sold his car, he wouldn't be able to afford a scratch on Mi Cai's.
However, the Buick driver still held back his anger, and just as Mi Cai's car was level with his, he yelled, "Are you out of your mind? Continuing to honk the horn like that, are you rushing to..."
But the next moment, after seeing Mi Cai's stunning face, he immediately stopped cursing and embarrassingly changed his tone, "Oh, it's a beautiful lady... You should've said so earlier. If I had known, I would've made way for you..."
Since the Buick driver kept staring at Mi Cai's face while he was somewhat agitated, he floored the gas pedal, which led to a 'clang' as he ended up crashing into the rear of a Volkswagen in front.
"Damn it..." The Buick driver cursed under his breath.
He had no choice but to get out and check how badly he had hit the Volkswagen.
As he got out, the owner of the Volkswagen, a plump woman, also came out.
"Son of a gun, are you in such a hurry to reincarnate or desperately seeking death? Driving so fast, are you brainless? You dimwit..." The plump woman spoke harshly, her flab shaking as she scolded.
The Buick driver was speechless, thinking to himself, "Why is there such a stark contrast?"
"I'm telling you, don't think you can get away by not talking. This is a rear-end collision; it's entirely your fault, hurry up and pay up..." Seeing the Buick driver not responding, the plump woman immediately grew impatient.
"Darling, you really do have a huge charm, tsk tsk..." Zhu Bufan commented, finding it amusing.
"You..." Mi Cai was speechless and cast Zhu Bufan a fierce glare. She knew if it weren't for her, the Buick probably wouldn't have collided with the Volkswagen. But the real troublemaker had to be Zhu Bufan. If it weren't for his craziness today, sitting in her passenger seat, she wouldn't be in such a state; the Buick wouldn't have moved aside, and naturally, it wouldn't have hit the Volkswagen.
Mi Cai felt frantic again, but this time she learned from the previous lesson and didn't honk the horn wildly; she just gripped the steering wheel much tighter.
The Mi Family villa.
Zhu Bufan and Mi Cai entered one after another. It was already dusk, but upon entering the Mi Family house, Zhu Bufan didn't see Mi Tao, the Family Head.
And Mi Li, she hadn't been seen at all, no idea where she went. Logically, if this woman knew he was working at the Mi Qi Group, she would have come to 'trouble' him.
Now that even her whereabouts were unknown, it must be assumed she was out on a business trip or had been sent by the Family Head for some errand.
Mi Cai went back to the villa and directly ignored Zhu Bufan, then headed up to her bedroom on the second floor. Zhu Bufan did not choose to follow her because his visit to the Mi Family home wasn't to get close to Mi Cai, his nominal wife, but to find Mi Tao to clarify the matter with the young master of the Mi Family.
In the Mi Family villa, these servants all recognized Zhu Bufan and knew that he was their young lady's husband, so they all treated Zhu Bufan very respectfully.
"Housekeeper, has my father-in-law returned yet?" Zhu Bufan called over the housekeeper of the Mi Family villa to ask.
"Son-in-law, the Family Head, he hasn't come back yet..." the housekeeper replied respectfully.
"Do you know where he went? How long will it take for him to return?" Zhu Bufan asked again.
"Son-in-law, I'm not privy to that; the affairs of the Family Head are not something we can inquire about, so..." the housekeeper responded.
"Oh, all right! What about Uncle Anu, is he here?" Zhu Bufan asked.
"Anu is out with the Family Head, so he's not here either..." the housekeeper replied.
"Okay, you can go now," Zhu Bufan instructed.
"Yes, son-in-law... Oh, by the way, son-in-law, what would you and the young lady like to eat today? I'll make arrangements in the kitchen..." the housekeeper inquired.
"Oh, just whip up something simple..." Zhu Bufan said.
"Alright, son-in-law, you and the young lady wait a bit; I'll go arrange it immediately." The housekeeper replied and then left directly for the kitchen.
Zhu Bufan had initially planned to leave upon learning that Mi Tao and the Family Head were not around, but what now? Zhu Bufan decided to stay at the Mi Family villa tonight.
As for why Zhu Bufan made such a decision, it was because he had a hunch that something might happen tonight, so he stayed.
Quickly, the housekeeper had the kitchen prepare the meals, and then Zhu Bufan asked him to call Mi Cai to come down for dinner. When Mi Cai found out that Zhu Bufan hadn't left, she stubbornly refused to come down and eat.
This actually made Zhu Bufan feel a bit awkward.
With no other choice, Zhu Bufan had the housekeeper bring the food directly to Mi Cai's room, and he also went to Mi Cai's room himself. What was he up to challenging Mi Cai today?
"Uncle Yang, didn't I say I'm not eating? Why did you bring the food into my room?" Mi Cai said, frowning.
"Well, miss, this was arranged by the son-in-law..." the housekeeper replied with an uncomfortable look on his face.
"He has no right to arrange that... Hmph!" Mi Cai snorted coldly.
Uncle Yang felt a wave of sweat wash over him.
"Uncle Yang, you can leave now," Zhu Bufan walked in and spoke.
With that, the housekeeper finally found relief and quickly exited Mi Cai's room.
"Zhu Bufan, what exactly do you want?" Mi Cai asked, displeased.
