Chapter 83 Chasing Wife and Doting on Her

It was the first time Chen Zhiyu came to visit, and the two of them were locked in the house as soon as they arrived. This was really not very nice, so Chen Qixi asked everyone to go to the living room to watch TV, chat about family matters, get to know each other, and enhance their feelings.

The men of the Xia family sat in the reception room in advance.

As a friend of Chen Zhiyu for many years, Xia Shan sent a message to Chen Zhiyu in advance to let him prepare.

After washing my feet, Xia Qingshu looked like a steamed shrimp, not only red but also juicy. Chen Zhiyu helped him wipe the water off his feet and put on clean cotton socks.

Xia Qingshu kicked his calves and put on his slippers by himself.

"Brother Zhiyu, let's go downstairs quickly. Mom and Dad must be waiting anxiously."

Chen Zhiyu's aura was so strong that he was soaked through. He felt that if he stayed alone with him any longer, he would eventually turn into a pool of juice.

He missed the days when Brother Zhiyu was foolish enough to be deceived by him. At that time, he only needed to play dumb and fool Brother Zhiyu.

Ever since Brother Zhiyu took the initiative to confess his feelings, he seemed like a different person. Not only did he become shameless, but he would be scolded even more miserably if he pretended to be stupid.

He is obviously a meticulous and abstinent president, so how could he be so promiscuous in private?

Xia Qingshu greased the soles of his feet, put on his slippers, and trotted to the door. He breathed in the air outside, and it was like a fish being thrown back into the water and suddenly coming back to life.

"Brother Zhiyu, let's go, why are you standing there?"

The man who had just flirted with Xia Qingshu in front of Xia Ji stood in the middle of the room, his body a little stiff, "I came in a hurry and forgot to buy a gift."

When he came, he was only thinking about how to show his diligence. He cooked and washed his feet, but he forgot the most basic etiquette.

How could he come empty-handed for the first time? Does he really think of himself as a son-in-law?

Xia Qingshu tilted his head and reminded him, "Brother Zhiyu, we've already eaten. You've been at my house for several hours..."

Is it too late to remember it now?

Chen Zhiyu: “…”

Chen Zhiyu took out his cell phone and called Secretary Li, "I'll ask Secretary Li to bring the gift over right away."

The company warehouse always has gifts ready for you all year round. You don’t have to buy them specifically, just send them over. Chen Zhiyu looked at the time and it would only take half an hour to finish.

So the two of them stayed in the room for another half an hour, and only went out and downstairs after receiving a call from Secretary Li.

The two walked side by side in the stairwell. The Xia family's house was quite old, and the staircase was a spiral staircase. There was a wall lamp on the wall, making the human shadows look long and thin.

Xia Qingshu took a few steps and suddenly felt that the person next to him had disappeared. He turned around and found Chen Zhiyu standing at the corner of the stairs, adjusting his collar.

"Brother Zhiyu, what are you doing?"

Chen Zhiyu buttoned up the top button of his shirt and turned back into the noble and aloof gentleman he once was. "I'll tidy up my appearance."

When I was making dumplings just now, my shirt bent up and the cuffs were a little wrinkled. He straightened his cuffs and buttoned them up one by one.

Xia Qingshu was wearing a cotton home suit, and after messing it up, he just tugged at it twice casually. Compared with Chen Zhiyu, he looked particularly undignified.

Xia Qingshu covered her mouth and smiled: "Brother Zhiyu, you look like a young wife who is visiting for the first time."

Relying on the support of his brother and father, he laughed unscrupulously.

Chen Zhiyu lowered his eyes and smiled lightly, his lips curved up, his voice was slightly hoarse in the winding corridor, "My young wife wants a kiss to give me courage."

Xia Qingshu's cheeks, which had finally cooled down, started to burn again.

~

In the reception room, Xia Jing sat in the C position, Xia Shan sat on his left, Xia Ji sat second from the left, and the seat on the right was empty, obviously prepared for Chen Zhiyu.

Seeing Chen Zhiyu come in, the three of them straightened their backs a little, feeling as if they were in a three-judge trial.

When Xia Qingshu walked in, he felt dumbfounded.

This is too formal.

He looked around and was pulled by Chen Qixi to sit opposite Xia Shan.

"Father-in-law, mother-in-law, elder brother and second brother." After Chen Zhiyu greeted them, he sat to Xia Jing's right.

Xia Jing glanced at him and drank a sip of tea slowly, "Don't be so affectionate, we haven't officially established our relationship yet."

Chen Zhiyu responded readily, "Okay, Uncle Xia."

Xia Jing put down the teacup with satisfaction and asked in confusion, "You came here empty-handed today?"

Before Chen Zhiyu could speak, Xia Qingshu interrupted and said, "No, the gifts were left at the door. I just checked. There were a lot of them, one for each person."

Xia Jing remained silent.

Qingshu's vocal protection was much more effective than Chen Zhiyu pulling a cart of gifts.

"We are all family, don't spend too much."

To be honest, Chen Zhiyu is excellent in all aspects. If you really want to be picky, the only bad thing is his family. But he didn't have a choice about the family factor. These were his children who grew up under his care. Xia Jing glanced at Xia Shan and stopped talking.

Xia Shan was originally a good friend of Chen Zhiyu. When he first heard about the affair between Chen Zhiyu and Qingshu, he was indeed a little angry. However, the misunderstanding was later clarified. After he learned that it was Chen Zhiyu who was too narcissistic, he secretly rejoiced for a while.

Now my good friend has taken the initiative to lower his attitude and even did something like marrying into the family. I believe he will treat Qingshu well.

Xia Shan didn't embarrass him and chatted with him with a smile about some interesting things in his recent life.

Xia Ji had just watched Chen Zhiyu wash Qingshu's feet, and at this moment he really couldn't find anything to make things difficult for her, but he still had to say a few words, "Zhiyu, what do Aunt Chen and Uncle Chen think?"

Chen Zhiyu said gently, "My mother also likes Qingshu very much. We just need to pick an auspicious day."

Xia Ji obviously didn't believe it, "Have you brought Qingshu to meet aunt and uncle?"

Chen Zhiyu was a little hesitant. We have met before, but it was not formal. He did not bring Qingshu to meet them, but Qingshu met them privately.

Chen Rao should have no objection to his marriage to Qingshu, but he is afraid that Chen Rao will interfere in the children's affairs.

Chen Rao's ideas are outdated and stubborn. He had let things slide before because he had never considered marriage. No matter how much Chen Rao struggled, he remained unmoved.

But now with Qingshu, the situation has changed, and he has to take action to deal with it, for fear that Chen Rao will not be able to turn things around in a short period of time and will say something wrong and make Qingshu angry.

“…I have.”

"How did you see it? What's your parents' attitude? The idea that you must have a son to inherit the family business, it's best not to mention it in front of Qingshu." Seeing the other party hesitate, Xia Ji urged him, "Your family situation seems simple, but it's complicated. I don't want Qingshu to be wronged."

Xia Qingshu interrupted, "I've met my uncle and aunt, they all like me very much."

I especially like the baby in his belly.

"Don't worry, second brother. Auntie treats me very well."

Five billion at one go, how can it be bad?

He had met Chen Rao several times and knew that he had no bad intentions, he was just a little bit pretentious.

Recalling the previous confrontations, Chen Rao seemed to be so angry that his chest hurt. Xia Qingshu could guarantee that he would not be bullied in front of Chen Rao and Chen Qianxing.

Instead, he should be worried that Chen Rao might get sick because of him.

Now that he is pregnant again, he has plenty of ways to control Chen Rao.

Xia Qingshu stood up and refilled water for his father and brother. "Okay, okay, you are interrogating me like a criminal. Talk about something else."

Xia Ji kept winking at Qingshu.

His younger brother was too soft-hearted. He always protected Chen Zhiyu, and he was worried about leaving.

Xia Jing said, "In that case, let's pick a day for the two families to meet formally. Forget about the live-in son-in-law. Go home and discuss it with your elders."

Xia Qingshu smiled and said, "Dad, you are more sensible."

Xia Ji looked at his brother with disappointment: Is he so happy to get married?

Xia Ji cleared his throat, "Zhiyu, do you understand what Dad said?"

Chen Zhiyu replied: "I understand."

Seeing Xia Ji frowning, Xia Qingshu knew that he had a long speech to make. Xia Qingshu took the initiative to sit next to him and turned on his phone, "Second brother, come and help us choose a date."

Xia Ji was suddenly entrusted with an important task, and was somewhat flattered. He postponed and said, "Such an important matter should be left to Dad to decide. I can't do it."

Qingshu murmured softly, "I just want my second brother to choose the date."

His voice was low, with a hint of disappointment.

Where Xia Ji couldn't see, Qingshu blinked hard at Xia Jing.

Xia Jing sighed, "Aji, just help Qingshu choose."

Xia Ji smiled helplessly and stood up, "I'll go get the almanac, and we can work together to choose a date."

After Xia Ji went out, Xia Qingshu quietly winked at Chen Zhiyu and made an "ok" gesture.

Chen Zhiyu was amused by his cunning look, and his tense nerves relaxed at once.

After getting the almanac back, Xia Ji called Qing Shu, "Let's take a look together."

Xia Qingshu tilted his head, his face full of curiosity, "Second brother, tell me, how should I choose."

Xia Ji flipped through the recent days and said, "It's best to choose the weekend. During the week, everyone has to go to work, but on the weekend everyone is free and there are more people."

Xia Shan said, "It's OK at any other time. I can ask for leave."

Xia Ji glanced at Xia Shan, the traitor, and said in a somewhat unfriendly tone, "I know you can ask for leave, but what if someone else has an emergency?"

Xia Ji was a bit old-fashioned, and his family rarely saw him smile. Chen Qixi teased him deliberately, "Your dad can also take a leave."

Xia Ji was a little embarrassed, and Chen Zhiyu suddenly said, "I will listen to my second brother. This arrangement is very good."

Xia Qingshu glanced at him and thought, oh, he knows how to flatter.

Xia Ji's expression became a little better, and he continued to explain to Qing Shu, "Let's book a weekend, and then we'll see which day is suitable for engagement and marriage."

Xia Qingshu followed his instructions and saw that tomorrow was Saturday, "a good day for getting married, getting engaged, decorating, moving into a new home, getting a marriage license, and breaking ground."

"Brother, tomorrow is a good day."

Xia Ji frowned, "It's not possible tomorrow, let's look at it later."

He deliberately delayed it, how could he let Chen Zhiyu get Qingshu so easily? !

Finally, turning to the next month, Xia Ji pointed at the red almanac and said, "I think this is the day."

Chen Zhiyu secretly gave Xia Shan a look, and Xia Shan understood, "I think tomorrow is better. I have nothing to do tomorrow, and it's good to come early."

Xia Ji didn't want to talk to the traitor Xia Shan, so he just said to Qing Shu, "It's a good day, and there's only a month between now. There's plenty of time to prepare. Zhiyu, what do you think?"

Chen Zhiyu responded in a low voice, "Second brother is right."

Xia Ji raised his eyebrows at Xia Shan proudly.

After getting the approval of the parties involved, Xia Shan had no choice but to insist.

Chen Qixi originally felt that what Xia Ji said was right. It would be too hasty to do it tomorrow. It would be best to take a month to slowly prepare. It was the first time for their Xia family to hold a wedding, so it had to be lively.

Xia Qingshu looked up and saw Chen Zhiyu looking at him.

Chen Zhiyu has sharp eyebrows and a high nose bridge, and has an aggressive appearance.

But at this time, the look she gave him was a little more childish.

His eyelids drooped slightly, like a child who had been wronged and unable to defend himself.

His eyes revealed stubbornness and helplessness.

Qingshu understood instantly that Brother Zhiyu had already chosen the date, which was tomorrow, but he just didn't know how to say it.

"Brother, how about tomorrow?" Xia Qingshu deliberately stuck out his belly, touched it, and sighed, "Brother, I feel so tired recently."

The Xia family finally came to their senses.

Qingshu is pregnant, and it’s been almost five months. Although he still looks like a child, you can’t tell that he is pregnant.

In the later stages of pregnancy, Qingshu becomes more easily fatigued. It is better to do this sooner rather than later.

Xia Ji couldn't help but change his words, "Then let's do it tomorrow."

Chen Zhiyu lowered his eyes, and a warm feeling surged through his heart.

The men in the Xia family looked at him with unfriendly, even cold eyes, but he felt warm in his heart.

No matter how harsh the words others say, as long as Qingshu says one word for him, it is enough.
