Time pa.s.sed quickly in the milk tea shop. It was getting late, and Ji Mingshu and Zhen Yu still had to go back to the dormitory, so they left first.

Before she left, Ji Mingshu was still starry-eyed over Qi Zhenbais looks. Chi Shuyan was helpless, and in the end, Zhen Yu dragged Ji Mingshu away.

After the two left, Chi Shuyan looked at the time and prepared to go back to the villa.

Qi Zhenbai wanted to stay with his wife a while longer. When his wife opened the door of the milk tea shop, Qi Zhenbai followed her out with the rest of her milk tea.

He usually didnt have the slightest interest in sweet things, but when he thought about how this was the leftover of the milk tea that his wife had been drinking, Qi Zhenbai didnt mind. He took a sip through the straw and still felt that the taste was too sweet. He frowned and pursed his thin lips tightly, not liking it.

Chi Shuyan was about to part ways with the man, and turned around to say something, when she saw him frown as he took a few sips of her leftover milk tea.

Chi Shuyan:

As for why she could recognize at a glance that this cup of milk tea was hers, it was because the man hadnt ordered anything at all just now. He sat on the side and quietly listened to her talk to her two friends.

She frowned at the man in front of her, who obviously didnt like sweet things, yet finished the rest of the milk tea in a few seconds. Her heart felt stuffy.

She stopped, and so did the man. The mans aura was powerful and his expression was cold under the light, which was at complete odds with the milk tea he was holding.

Qi Zhenbai felt his wifes gaze on his face, and his thin lips couldnt help but curl up. Wife, are we going home?

Because of the mans initiative to curry favor and his gentleness tonight, Chi Shuyans feelings were complicated. However, she had never changed her mind easily. Besides, some things had changed when the man said the word breakup.

She couldnt pretend that nothing had happened and continue being with the man in front of her.

She could be afraid of small things, but not big things. This was her principle.

Faced with the mans gentle face, Chi Shuyan felt that some things couldnt be delayed any longer and had to be settled quickly. She thought for a moment and said, Ill go back to the villa tonight. Dont look for me for the next two days. Well meet again in two days. I have something to tell you then!

When Qi Zhenbai heard the first half of her words, his face clearly darkened. When he heard the latter half, his gloomy face regained some gentleness. He didnt think for long before he agreed. Ill send you back!

Chi Shuyan felt that the reason why this man agreed so easily was probably because they were getting along too well tonight. She didnt want him to think too much of it, so she didnt let him send her back. Instead, she took advantage of the moment when he wasnt paying attention to hail a taxi.

Chi Shuyan suddenly took a taxi and refused him. Qi Zhenbai was very surprised. When his wife got into the taxi, his face was unprecedentedly unsightly and he didnt even react.

Chi Shuyan got into the taxi. Before she left, she rolled down the window and said to the man outside, Im leaving first!

The taxi then left. Chi Shuyan didnt look at the mans face again, but when she thought of his gloomy expression just now, she felt that it probably wouldnt look good right now.

After all, in Qi Zhenbais eyes, some of what happened tonight was probably a sign that she wanted to reconcile with him. However, she really didnt think that way, nor did she have the heart to do so.

Chi Shuyan gave the driver the address. Her phone rang soon after. Chi Shuyan didnt have to think about who it was.

She took out her phone and glanced at the caller ID. When she saw Qi Zhenbais name, she stuffed the phone back into her pocket.

It was just that when she didnt answer, the man kept calling, and her phone never stopped ringing.

Chi Shuyan could only hurry to mute it before she sent a message to the other party, saying that they would talk in two days.

After she sent the message, the man didnt call again. Chi Shuyan heaved a sigh of relief. The reason she had put up with the man tonight was partly because she was afraid of agitating him, but also because she remembered that the Qi family had treated her too well.

Grandpa Qi, Father Qi, and Mother Qi had been sincerely good to her. Even if the word breakup which Qi Zhenbai spat out and his coldness from before chilled her heart, she didnt want to make things too ugly between them. Instead, she wanted to break up peacefully.

Chi Shuyans head hurt from thinking too much, but she quickly composed herself and looked out the window calmly.

On the other side, Qi Zhenbai, who was sitting in the back of the car, was unusually gloomy. After a while, the mans deep voice rang out. Turn around and go back to the Qi family residence!

The driver only dared to sneak a glance at Young Master Qi in the rearview mirror. He didnt dare say a word, and immediately drove back to the Qi family residence.

At that moment, the main living room of the Qi family residence was crowded, but because of Fourth Brother Qi and his wife, the atmosphere was very stiff.

Seeing that the old man didnt respond, Fourth Brother Qi couldnt help but say, Dad, no matter what, that Miss Zhuang is Zhenbais fiance. Our Qi family has to give her some face. Otherwise, itll be so embarra.s.sing! Besides, Dad, even if you dont give her face, you have to give my deceased mother some face.

When Fourth Brother Qi said this earnestly, the old mans cold gaze swept over him, and Fourth Brother Qi felt a little guilty. However, he felt that they were in the right, so Fourth Brother Qi was more confident than usual.

His wife also felt that they were in the right, and continued to persuade earnestly. Thats right, Dad, you havent seen Miss Zhuang for yourself. Shes very beautiful and has a good personality. Shes simply a match made in heaven for our Zhenbai.

After listening to Fourth Brother Qi and his wife, everyone in the living room frowned, especially Father and Mother Qi.

Although Father Qi didnt agree with his fourth brother, he couldnt say anything because it involved his mother.

Mother Qi acknowledged only Shuyan as her granddaughter-in-law. The most important thing was that her son liked her, not just because of some arrangement made by Old Madam Qi. Nevertheless, even if Shuyan didnt exist, Mother Qi wasnt prepared to agree.

Of course, if Zhenbai liked the match, she might agree. If he didnt like it, she would never agree, not even if it was a match that had really been arranged by the old madam.

The living room was very quiet. Only Fourth Brother Qi and his wife were speaking earnestly. Mother Qi was about to say something.

The old man suddenly snorted. Shut up!

The hearts of Fourth Brother Qi and his wife jumped. They subconsciously looked at the old man and hurriedly called out, Dad!

At that moment, Mother Qi finally couldnt help but say, Dad, I thank Fourth Brother and Fourth Sister-in-law for thinking so much of Zhenbai. However, Zhenbai already has a wife; how can he get engaged to another girl? Moreover, this isnt like the olden days.

The old madam only gave a verbal agreement back then, so it cant be considered official. Maybe she was just joking back then, and only Fourth Brother and Fourth Sister-in-law took it seriously. If Zhenbai didnt have a wife, I might have considered it, but now that he has found one, why is Fourth Brother and Fourth Sister-in-law bringing this up? If Zhenbai abandons Shuyan and marries another woman, Ill be the first to not allow it as his mother. Dad, our Qi family cant do such an unkind thing!

Mother Qis words were filled with protectiveness for her daughter-in-law.

Fourth Brother Qi and Fourth Sister-in-law Qi didnt expect Mother Qi to speak up for a little girl with no background. What was so good about that little girl?

She was protecting that half-grown girl more fiercely than her own son!

For a moment, Fourth Brother Qi and Fourth Sister-in-law Qi couldnt react to Mother Qis words. They felt that she was too stupid!

Fourth Aunt was still indignant and wanted to talk about Zhuang Yanrus background, but Mother Qi interrupted her bluntly. No matter how good Miss Zhuangs background is, can it compare with our Qi familys? Zhenbai doesnt need to be forced into a marriage alliance. Besides, I only care if my son likes the other party or not. As for other superficial things, I dont care.

Fourth Brother Qi and Fourth Sister-in-law Qi were really stunned when they heard this. However, they just felt that Mother Qi was deliberately putting on a show in front of the old man, and they snorted inwardly. The two naturally didnt know that Mother Qi truly didnt care about something as shallow as family background at all. She only cared if her son liked the other party or not. Besides, she really liked Shuyan.

A sincere person could feel sincerity in return. Mother Qi was well aware of how her daughter-in-law regarded her.
