Chapter 1023: Wife, Who Is More Important?

Chi Shuyan could only tiptoe downstairs again that night. Fortunately, her father usually slept early. The light in his room wasnt on, so he had probably already gone to bed.

When she got downstairs, Qi Zhenbai immediately put out the cigarette he was holding. As soon as Chi Shuyan got close, she sensed the strong smell of cigarettes on the man. It seemed that he had been smoking a lot tonight.

She didnt like the smell of cigarette smoke, so Qi Zhenbai immediately said, I wont smoke anymore! He immediately took off his suit jacket and threw it into the car as he asked, Is it better now?

Even though it was summer, the difference in temperature between day and night was a bit big, and the man was only wearing a s.h.i.+rt. She was worried that he would catch a cold, so she quickly had him put on his jacket she was fine with a faint whiff of cigarette smoke.

Seeing that his wife wasnt frowning, Qi Zhenbai didnt plan to put on his jacket. He grabbed her wrist and pulled her into his arms, one arm around her waist.

Since no one was around, Chi Shuyan didnt refuse his advances. Apart from the smell of smoke, the man also carried a refres.h.i.+ng fragrance. After hugging him for a while, Chi Shuyan couldnt help but ask, Why did you come looking for me so late at night?

He didnt call her downstairs just to get some fresh air, right?

The man suddenly said, Wife, is Dad more important, or am I, as your husband, more important?

Chi Shuyan thought to herself that the two of them hadnt registered for marriage at all. It was too early to use the word husband. She also felt that this man was just torturing himself by asking this question.

Not only that, he was also deliberately making things difficult for her. Chi Shuyan couldnt help but retort, Then, do you think Im more important, or are your parents more important?

Seeing the man suddenly fall silent, Chi Shuyan couldnt help but laugh. See, you cant answer either, so dont ask such questions in the future?

Dont make things difficult for me!

Before Chi Shuyan could finish speaking, the man suddenly said, You!

Chi Shuyan choked and her eyes widened. The man said slowly in a deep voice, I didnt have a good relations.h.i.+p with my parents in the past! Wife, youre as important as my grandfather, or even more so!

Qi Zhenbai had always known that he was cold-blooded by nature. He had been brought up by his grandfather and didnt have much of a relations.h.i.+p with his parents. His parents hadnt been close to him when he was young.

Later on, his parents understood and took the initiative to become closer to him. Even though he knew that his father and mothers feelings for him were real and that their concern for him wasnt fake, he seemed he innately lacked family ties. After that, he never took the initiative to get close to them again. It wasnt until his wife went to the Qi residence that he barely got close to his parents.

He respected and trusted his grandfather more. His grandfather was also the only person he had cared about before he met his wife.

Although he had been raised by his grandfather since he was a child, he also understood that apart from him, his grandfather also had his fourth uncle. Moreover, if his fourth uncle hadnt endangered Qi Zhenbais life in the beginning, his grandfather might not have chosen to raise him. In the end, his grandfather had been very good to him all these years to make up for it. His affection for Qi Zhenbai wasnt pure only the woman in front of Qi Zhenbai was completely his.

Chi Shuyan didnt know what the man was thinking. Her mind was stuck on his unusually serious expression and words. For a moment, she didnt know what to say. Her mind was a bit muddled and she was completely out of it. She vaguely heard herself say honestly, I still think my dad is more important!
