Chapter 118 His Honor

Qi Chenyan easily picked the person up.

"It is my honor to serve Mrs. Qi."

Yu Li's face turned even redder. This man could spout sweet words so easily.

If he hadn't said he'd never been in a relationship, Yu Li would have suspected he was a seasoned player in love.

After all, with his face alone, if he were on the dating market, people would only think that if someone as handsome as him couldn't find a wife, then he must be either a liar or gay.

We returned to the seaside villa with almost no obstacles along the way.

Once home, Yu Li couldn't help but take a deep breath.

"I don't know why, but I suddenly feel like I've been through another world. The old saying is really true: there's no place like home.

Qi Chenyan gently placed her on the bed. "It seems I've done a pretty good job in making Mrs. Qi feel at home."

After all, they've only been married for a little over two months. The fact that Yu Li could say she felt at home in such a short time shows that Qi Chenyan is doing a pretty good job as a husband.

As he spoke, Qi Chenyan placed a cushion behind Yu Li to make her more comfortable.

He was wondering if she still wanted to sleep, but Yu Li said she had slept enough last night and was in good spirits, so she just wanted to lie there and talk to him.

“You’ve always done a great job. Actually, when you first came to me and said you wanted to marry me, you said you were busy with work and often had to travel for work. Do you know what I was thinking at that time?”

Qi Chenyan sat down beside her and asked, "What?"

“I’m thinking, my husband is handsome, holds a high position, and is rarely home. What’s the difference between him and my husband being rich and not caring about my spending?”

"This is like me finding a long-term, stable meal ticket for my baby and myself, so I agreed immediately."

But Qi Chenyan raised an eyebrow upon hearing this, "My value is merely a long-term, stable meal ticket?"

While it's true that you have money to spend.

Qi Chenyan is indeed a high-ranking and powerful man, but most of his assets still come from the Qi family.

Although he did not choose to inherit the family business but instead embarked on a political career, he has always been the most favored youngest son in the family since birth.

Because he was the late-life son of Old Master Qi, the entire Qi family doted on their youngest son, Qi Chenyan.

In addition, Qi Chenyan has always been very different from other children his age since he can remember. He is always very calm, composed and exceptionally intelligent.

He flatly rejected the path that Old Master Qi had initially laid out for him, and relied on his extraordinary abilities to gradually reach his current position.

Yu Li scratched her face a little guiltily, "This is also based on what you said to me back then, but later, as I spent more time with you, I gradually changed my mind."

"You are considerate and meticulous, and you always come to my side quickly when I encounter trouble or danger."

"It makes me feel that you have more than just a superficial marital relationship with me; you genuinely care about me. So now I feel like this is my home too."

Yu Li looked very seriously into Qi Chenyan's eyes, as if dissecting her own heart, and told him, "You are also an inseparable member of my family."

The word "family" seems simple, but for someone like Yu Li, whose parents divorced early and who lives with her grandmother, it is a very rare and precious recognition.

Because she became independent at a young age, Yu Li is someone who rarely relies on others.

In her heart, her only real family members are her grandmother and her best friend.

The fact that Qi Chenyan was able to become the third person in such a short time is enough to show that everything he had done for Yu Li during this period of time had truly moved her.

Qi Chenyan smiled and reached out to touch his wife's face.

"From the moment you and I stepped into the hall of marriage, you have been my family, the most inseparable part of my life, and the wife with whom I will spend the rest of my life."

Yu Li felt that Qi Chenyan's words were more profound than what she herself had expressed.

But the thought was fleeting, because the housekeeper brought in a sumptuous breakfast.

When faced with delicious food, Yu Li forgets everything else.

However, Qi Chenyan only stayed at home with Yu Li for one day. The next day, his honeymoon ended, and he had to go back to work.

Although it was a rare leave of absence, for a busy person like Qi Chenyan, there was still a lot of work to be done.

Once I go back to work, I need to go on business trips and visits.

But before leaving, Qi Chenyan meticulously explained to the housekeeper all the things that needed attention, as well as the list, in detail.

Only after confirming that the housekeeper had memorized everything did he prepare to go on his business trip.

Because it was an early morning flight, before dawn, Qi Chenyan was already preparing to depart.

He didn't wake Yu Li at all. Just as he was about to leave, he came to the bedside, looked at his wife's beautiful sleeping face, and gently touched her cheek.

But just as he was about to pull it back, it was grabbed by another soft hand.

Yu Li opened her eyes, still a little sleepy and even yawning, but her eyes were wide awake when she looked at Qi Chenyan.

Are you leaving?

Qi Chenyan hummed in agreement; "Did I wake you up when I got up?"

Yu Li shook her head, then, as if that wasn't enough, explained, "When you went on business trips before, it was always very early, and I wasn't even awake yet. I never saw you off."

Qi Chenyan instantly understood what she meant. When he told his wife about the business trip yesterday, Yu Li simply nodded to indicate that she knew.

Unexpectedly, she had actually kept it in mind and was planning to give him a surprise early in the morning.

Qi Chenyan felt a warm current flowing through his heart, touched by his wife's thoughtful gesture.

"Actually, what you said yesterday was the same."

But Yu Li shook her head. "It's different. I wonder if Director Qi has ever heard of the fixed ritual for couples to say goodbye?"

Qi Chenyan humbly asked, "I've never heard of this before. Please enlighten me, Mrs. Qi."

Yu Li beckoned to him, signaling him to come closer.

And when Qi Chenyan leaned against her without any guard, following her wishes.

Suddenly, Yu Li leaned over and, as she turned her head, gave Qi Chenyan a quick kiss on the cheek.

Clearly, even Director Qi, who had seen many storms, was caught off guard by his wife's sudden kiss.

So much so that he stood there dumbfounded, stunned, unable to recover from the kiss for a long time.

"Farewell kiss, take care on your journey. Work is important, but health is the foundation of everything."

The young wife spoke slowly and deliberately, her bright, doe-like eyes reflecting only his image.

"I'll wait for you to come home."
