Chapter 212 Get to Know Him More

Shopping at the mall is fun, but when all the items arrive home, the sheer variety fills the entire empty room.

Yu Li and Qi Chenyan discussed it and decided that while the child was still young, he would live next door to them so that they could take care of him if anything happened.

When the child gets a little older, it's up to him. If he wants more independent space, he can move upstairs; if he wants to stay close to his parents, he can continue living next door.

The couple said they would decorate the room together, but in reality, Qi Chenyan did all the work by himself, while Yu Li would just hand him things or wipe his sweat.

Although it was Qi Chenyan's first time assembling baby products, his genius brain proved to be useful no matter where it was placed.

After reading through the instructions, I was able to assemble it successfully on the first try.

They spent an afternoon decorating the bedroom.

The pure pink princess style, especially this European-style princess bed, Yu Li thought, no little girl could resist it.

Moreover, for the baby's safety, Qi Chenyan covered the entire floor of the room with soft Persian carpets.

When babies can't walk yet, they can crawl around freely on the ground.

Qi Chenyan even set up a baby swing by the French windows so that the baby could swing anytime, anywhere in the room.

From this small detail alone, Yu Li had a premonition that Qi Chenyan would definitely be a doting father to his daughter in the future.

"The little princess's room is all decorated. When we have time, let's decorate the little prince's room next door too?"

Qi Chenyan took a sip of water and hummed in agreement: "We'll talk about it when we have time."

When it came to arranging his son's room, Qi Chenyan's tone and actions were both very perfunctory.

This made Yu Li seriously doubt that she would have time to wait until the day her child was born.

If it were his son, Qi Chenyan would only make arrangements as a last resort.

With the successful broadcast of the third episode of "Celebrity Interviews", the ratings continue to be far ahead of the competition.

Even now, "Celebrity Interviews" has become a signature program of Blue Sky TV.

While others rely on television stations to drive their programs, Lantian, with its "Celebrity Interviews," has not only broken viewership records in the interview industry.

It also attracted a lot of advertising investment to Blue Sky, filling up Blue Sky's advertising budget for the whole year.

From then on, Yu Li's name became quite famous not only at Blue Sky TV, but also throughout the entire news industry.

After the third episode aired successfully and achieved high ratings, Yu Li and Qi Chenyan chose a day off to visit Deng Bailing's home.

"Chen Yan, Xiao Yu, welcome. Your teacher and I have been eagerly awaiting your arrival. We are so happy to finally see you two, young couple."

This was the first time Yu Li had ever met Tang Zhongyi; she had only ever seen the head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on television before.

He stood right in front of her, personally greeting her alongside Deng Bailing, and warmly shook her hand.

This world is indeed magical.

Things I never dared to dream of before have all come true now.

After all, who in the news industry doesn't admire this legendary figure in the diplomatic world?

Although Qi Chenyan is currently the most famous online.

But most of those who like Qi Chenyan are young people, while Tang Zhongyi seems low-key, but he is actually a household name.

Tang Zhongyi's record in the diplomatic field remains unbroken to this day.

When Yu Li first entered university, the name she heard most often was Tang Zhongyi.

At the time, some senior students said that their biggest wish in life was to be able to say a word to Minister Tang.

Now, Yu Li can not only speak with him, but also sit at the same table with Tang Zhongyi and taste the food he cooked himself.

Tang Zhongyi and his wife have only one daughter, who went abroad to study a few years ago, so usually only the two of them live at home.

When Yu Li entered the villa, she immediately noticed that the garden outside the villa had been transformed into a vegetable garden.

As we walked in, all the villas along the way were planted with flowers and plants.

For wealthy people, growing flowers and plants is not only aesthetically pleasing, but it also makes their villas appear more refined and cultured when guests visit.

Unexpectedly, Deng Bailing's family did the opposite. This lush green vegetable garden had all kinds of vegetables and was full of pastoral charm.

Seeing that Yu Li was interested in her vegetable garden, Deng Bailing pulled her aside and introduced it to her.

"I usually have nothing to do, so I like to grow vegetables. But you young people, there are many vegetables that you can't even recognize, right?"

I thought Yu Li wouldn't recognize them, but to my surprise, she could name every single vegetable in the garden.

Furthermore, she would point out that different vegetables require different planting methods, explaining this in detail, which impressed Deng Bailing.

"I never expected a young girl like you to have such a deep understanding of food?"

Yu Li smiled and said, "It's not really research. It's just that when I was a child, I lived with my grandma in the village. She liked to grow her own vegetables and be self-sufficient. I helped her a lot, and that's how I remembered it."

Deng Bailing pulled Yu Li to stroll through the vegetable garden, while Tang Zhongyi waved his hand in front of Qi Chenyan's eyes.

"Alright, stop staring at your wife. Haven't you had enough at home? Now that you're here, you can't just sit around. Come and help me out."

With dishes still cooking in the kitchen, Tang Zhongyi pulled Qi Chenyan over to help.

After visiting the vegetable garden, Deng Bailing took Yu Li for a walk around the villa.

When Yu Li arrived at the study, she was drawn to the group photos displayed on the bookshelf.

"This is Shen Yan when he was five years old. He was fair and tender, just like a glutinous rice ball. Wasn't he cute?"

Yu Li stared intently at the photo, saying that when she first saw the frame, she thought the little dumpling in the picture was very cute, and there was a strange sense of familiarity between her eyebrows.

"I didn't expect you and Shen Yan to have known each other for so long?"

Deng Bailing explained, "I was very close friends with Shen Yan's mother. However, his mother passed away not long after giving birth to Shen Yan, and Shen Yan was raised by his father."

“He was sensible from a young age, never cried or made a fuss. We, as his elders, felt very sorry for him. He lost his mother at such a young age.”

Yu Li listened attentively. She noticed that there were many photos on the bookshelf, and Qi Chenyan was featured in many of them.

This clearly demonstrates the deep relationship between Qi Chenyan and Tang Zhongyi and his wife.

"He hasn't told me much about his past. If it's convenient, could you tell me more about him? I'd like to know more about him."

When it comes to this, Deng Bailing can talk endlessly about it.

“Shen Yan has been independent since childhood. His father had planned for him to go into finance so that he could join Tianhe Group and inherit the family business smoothly in the future.”

"But he kept it a secret from the Qi family and conspired with Lao Yi to apply to a political and legal university. Later, in order to join the army, he spent a year completing all the university courses."

"But after serving for two years, he was discharged from the military due to an accidental injury. He then went back to graduate school, and after graduating with a doctorate, he joined the Ministry of Foreign Affairs."

Yu Li noticed another group photo. "Is this your daughter?"

“This is my daughter, Tang Shi, who is the same age as Shen Yan. Before they were born, we joked with Shen Yan’s mother that if they had a son and a daughter, we would arrange a marriage between them.”
