I clearly heard the car engine turned off for a while before the two people in the yard came in reluctantly. Qi Mingyuan, with a sullen face, was the first to see Qi Shengzhi coming in and was about to get angry.

Unexpectedly, a pretty face with a smile suddenly appeared from behind Qi Shengzhi, and called out sweetly:

"Dad, we're back!"

Yue Feiying's call of "Dad" unexpectedly touched Qi Mingyuan's heart with such sweetness that even his eyes lit up.

He only had two sons, one was unruly and the other was timid. They had never experienced the feeling of having a daughter acting coquettishly in front of his knees. For a moment, he couldn't help but feel overjoyed. The words he wanted to curse were stuck in his throat, and even his expression looked much better.

"Feiying is here. You must be hungry. Come and sit down."

Qu Jingyun had been waiting for Qi Mingyuan to get angry first, and then she would interject a few words at the right time. However, she didn't expect Qi Mingyuan's expression to change so suddenly, and now he looked like a kind father. Qu Jingyun was so angry that she clenched her fists.

Yue Feiying took the two gift boxes from Qi Shengzhi and held them in front of Qi Mingyuan.

"Dad, this is a gift that Shengzhi and I prepared for you. It's a box of American ginseng and a box of Cohiba. These are things you can't buy in China. I even 'stole' them from my dad!"

She smiled, covered her mouth and leaned close to Qi Mingyuan's ear, pretending to whisper something. The natural intimacy in her tone made Qi Mingyuan feel very happy, and the last bit of cloud on his face disappeared in an instant.

"Hahaha—then my father-in-law will definitely not be friendly to me next time we meet!"

"Jingyun, go get two boxes of bird's nests and two boxes of sea cucumbers. When Feiying leaves later, ask her to bring them back to my father-in-law."

Seeing Qi Mingyuan laugh at Yue Feiying's words, Qu Jingyun was already very unhappy. Now she heard that he was going to take the things in her small storehouse, which made her feel even more uncomfortable. She couldn't help but say sourly:

"Feiying is the real gift! Look how happy your dad is!"

"These bird's nests and sea cucumbers your dad gave you are good things. They are good for your health. As for the American ginseng... we have plenty at home. Your dad gave away a lot of it when he couldn't finish it. Don't bring it home next time."

As for the other one called Cohiba, she had no idea what kind of junk it was. It was put in a black thin-skinned wooden box. Just by looking at the wood used in the box, she knew that it didn't contain any good stuff. She was too lazy to even mention it.

Yue Feiying raised her eyebrows and looked over. It was obvious from Qu Jingyun's words that he looked down on the gift she gave him. He thought that she should just exchange it for something inferior.

She glanced at Qu Jingyun, deliberately ignoring her, and turned to continue smiling at Qi Mingyuan and said:

"I heard from Sheng Zhi that you often work in your study late into the night. You must take good care of yourself. This box of American ginseng is a brand consumed by the royal family in Country E. The quality is much better than ordinary American ginseng, and only members of the royal family can enjoy it. This box was given to my father by a Duke of Country E when he attended a royal dinner. He has always treasured it and is reluctant to drink it!"

"This box of Cohiba cigars is hard currency in E Country's upper class, representing the most distinguished status and position. Lately, they've been hard to come by in Shanghai's business community. My dad just told me that you and he are going to a banquet hosted by the Shanghai Chamber of Commerce next week. Bringing this with you will surely help you meet business partners with 'common interests.' Wouldn't that open up new topics for closer relationships?"

Qi Mingyuan was very surprised when he heard this. He didn't originally value the two boxes of gifts. He just thought that the two children's thoughtfulness was enough to make him happy. He didn't expect them to be so thoughtful.

And what Yue Feiying said made him feel that he had made the right choice of daughter-in-law. She had a good family background and was knowledgeable. Only a girl like her was worthy of being the future mistress of his Qi family. Unlike...

Qi Mingyuan glanced at Qu Jingyun standing there in astonishment, and frowned immediately:

"I told you to get something, why are you just standing there?!"

"Oh, right, I suddenly remembered that there's a little thing in my drawer that Old Zhao from Xingfa Foreign Trade Company sent me. The little girls should like it. You can bring it over to Feiying as well."

Qu Jingyun's face looked ugly. He was glared at but dared not say anything. He could only grit his teeth and go upstairs to get something.

Qi Shengzhi stood aside silently, with an expression that had nothing to do with him. In fact, he was a little surprised.

When he told Yue Feiying in the morning that he was going back to Qi's house for dinner, Yue Feiying hurried out, but did not forget to ask him to load the two gift boxes on the top shelf of the locker in her room into the car.

He originally thought they were just two ordinary souvenirs, but he didn't expect Yue Feiying to have put so much effort into preparing them.

Qi Shengzhi felt somewhat touched and looked up at Yue Feiying. Coincidentally, Yue Feiying was also looking at him with a smile.

The next second, she put her hands behind her back and stretched out three fingers towards him from an angle where Qi Mingyuan couldn't see. Qi Shengzhi's face suddenly turned cold.

He is now very familiar with this action, this is the price of three thousand!

The more Qi Mingyuan looked at Feiying, the more he liked her, and he also began to like Qi Shengzhi a lot more.

In the past, it was lucky for Qi Sheng to be able to go home for a meal once every one or two months, and that was only under his coercion and inducement. When he came, he would either eat a few bites and leave, or make people so angry that they were mad. He had never come to his house with a gift of concern for him like today.

It seems that this marriage is really a good match. With a lady like Yue Feiying by his side to give advice, Qi Shengzhi looks much more presentable than before.

While they were talking, the servants had already heated up the dishes. Yue Feiying's eyes fell on the table full of delicious food and she couldn't help swallowing.

Although the Yue family went bankrupt, a lean camel is still bigger than a horse. Yue Feiying has never suffered any loss in food since she came here. She is served delicious food and drinks every day.

Now that she was married, and because Qi Shengzhi insisted on moving out to live alone, she went to work at Yongsi Photo Studio. Not only was she busy all day long, but she couldn't even have a hot meal when she got home from work.

It's only been a few days since he got married, but he looks much thinner than he did at the wedding.

Qi Mingyuan glared at Qi Shengzhi unhappily. This girl had just married into their Qi family and had lost so much weight in just a few days. Would his father-in-law be happy if he saw it?

Qi Shengzhi was glared at, completely bewildered. He walked in without saying a word, what had he done to offend anyone?!

Qi Mingyuan invited Yue Feiying to pick up her chopsticks. Yue Feiying was greedy, but she wouldn't be so unruly. It was true that she didn't like Qu Jingyun, but she still had to put on a show.

"Dad, it's okay. Let's eat together when everyone is here."

Looking at her well-behaved and sensible appearance, Qi Mingyuan really envied Yue Jialiang for having such a good daughter, unlike his son...

He was comparing secretly when the next second he caught a glimpse of a pair of chopsticks "crossing mountains and rivers" and reaching into the dish in front of him.
