Chapter 32 He Has a Wife

Before Qi Chenyan could speak, Li Rujun blurted out, "Chenyan has a girlfriend?"

"When did this happen? Shen Yan, really! Such a joyous occasion, why didn't you tell the family?"

"What's the girl's name? Where is she from? What does her family do? How long have you been dating?"

Qi Chenyan's expression remained calm, but his tone seemed to have gained a touch of warmth: "She's not my girlfriend."

Everyone suddenly realized that Qi Chenyan was so picky. No matter how many noble ladies Old Master Qi had introduced him to, he refused to meet any of them.

How could he suddenly find a partner? It must be some unrealistic rumor that Grandpa Qi heard somewhere.

Unexpectedly, Qi Chenyan slowly added the second half of the sentence, a statement that was enough to make anyone's jaw drop.

"She's my wife."

Snap.

Qi Xi dropped the chopsticks in her hand.

Along with it, the jaws of those present also fell off.

Qi Xi made an apologetic gesture and silently picked up the chopsticks.

The maid immediately handed over a new pair of chopsticks.

But Qi Xi had no appetite at all; she only ate melon seeds.

Best friend: [Holy crap, holy crap, holy crap! All I can say is "holy crap!" Honey, this is juicy gossip, guaranteed authentic, wanna grab it?]

At this moment, Yu Li, who had no idea that the gossip was about her, was lying in bed with a face mask on after taking a shower, enjoying the latest gossip coming from Qi Xi.

Although Yu Li wasn't there, just imagining Qi Chenyan's handsome, aloof face, combined with his domineering tongue, she could picture the exhilarating scene of him utterly tormenting the scheming woman.

So who exactly said that men can't resist the temptation of green tea?

It's clear that not only can it, it can kill instantly.

So those who claim they can't see through the tricks of "green tea" girls are just making excuses. In the end, they're just using it as a pretext for despicable men who can't control themselves.

Look at Qi Chenyan, he doesn't even need anyone's hints. He can walk the path of a green tea bitch with just his words, leaving her with nowhere to go.

Just as Yu Li was enjoying the gossip, her best friend dropped another bombshell that made her sit up straight in bed.

Best friend: [My uncle said he has a wife!]

Holy crap, it just self-destructed like that?

Yu Li sat up abruptly, her face mask almost falling off from her excitement. But she didn't care and quickly typed a message to ask.

Pear Blossom Grass on the Plain: [Did he say who his wife is?]

But after waiting for a while, she still didn't receive a reply from her best friend.

At this moment, Yu Li felt as if each second was an eternity.

So, is Qi Chenyan really going to tell the Qi family about her identity?

She had originally planned to take her best friend to meet Qi Chenyan first. If he just said it directly, wouldn't her best friend be angry?

So, is she going to the Qi family to see the elders tomorrow?

Is it really okay to go empty-handed?

But the Qi family is a true aristocratic family, and they probably wouldn't even look at ordinary gifts.

What kind of clothes would be appropriate to wear?

Should we get a makeover and have a professional makeup artist do our makeup to make it look more formal?

Just as Yu Li was struggling with her dilemma, Old Master Qi chuckled.

"You actually believe this kid's nonsense? Forget about marriage, I'd be thanking my God and ancestors if he could bring me a real girlfriend."

"He must be afraid I'll call him home for a blind date, so he's making up a wife out of thin air for me. If you keep playing these kinds of jokes on me, I'll beat you up!"

Grandpa Qi pretended to teach Qi Chenyan a lesson, but in reality, he didn't even raise his hand halfway; he was just verbally threatening him.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Qi Kunshan smiled and said, "Second brother, you shouldn't make jokes like this so easily in the future. You don't know, in this family, Dad is most worried about your marriage."

"Actually, feelings can be cultivated. In this world, the probability of finding a true soulmate is less than one in ten million."

"Look at me and your sister-in-law, we weren't very familiar with each other before we got married, but now we have children, a happy family, and a blissful marriage, don't we?"

No one would believe that Qi Chenyan had found a partner, or even gotten married.

Even Grandpa Qi believed that it was just an excuse he made up because he didn't want to go on blind dates.

Seeing the group talking amongst themselves, Qi Xi thought the story was fake and felt a chill run down her spine; the gossip suddenly lost its appeal.

Such a sensational story, how could there be a twist, turning out to be a fake story?

No guarantee of ripeness, bad review!

Qi Chenyan didn't want to waste his breath on meaningless explanations, so he asked a question instead.

"Brother, you and your wife married first and then fell in love, and have been together for many years. Do you have any secrets to your relationship?"

Qi Kunshan was quite surprised: "In all these years, this is the first time I've heard anything about love and romance between men and women from my second brother, outside of work."

"Speaking of this, as someone who's been through it all, I have a lot to say. Whether it's a married couple or lovers, the most important thing in getting along is respect."

"Secondly, it's about integration. If the other person is used to your preferences, you should also accept their quirks."

Li Rujun said, "Your older brother did a very good job in this regard. On our wedding night, he saw that I was too nervous and respected my wishes. We also spent more than a month together before we were truly husband and wife."

Li Rujun blushed slightly when this was mentioned.

Qi Xi listened with a sense of wonder.

Qi Kunshan and Li Rujun, this bizarre couple who don't love their biological daughter but dote on their adopted daughter, actually had a pure love affair before.

"What if the child was conceived unexpectedly from the beginning?"

Qi Chenyan silenced everyone with his own power once again.

Before Qi Kunshan and the others could even speak, Old Master Qi's brow twitched. He couldn't hold back any longer and raised his hand to give Qi Chenyan the back of the head.

"You little rascal, you're addicted to talking big, aren't you? I'd be thanking the heavens if you could conjure up a girlfriend for me."

"You want to achieve instant success? You haven't even held a girl's hand, yet you want to magically transform into a child. Do you think this is some short drama where you get pregnant before falling in love?"

Qi Xi wanted to give Old Master Qi a thumbs up.

I didn't expect the old man to be so trendy. He not only knows about short dramas, but he even knows about the classic "pregnancy before love" theme in CEO romance novels.

But as Qi Xi continued eating this melon, why did it taste a little familiar?

According to my uncle, this story is remarkably similar to what her best friend experienced.

Yu Li also got drunk, went to the wrong room, accidentally slept with someone and got pregnant, and had a whirlwind marriage with the other person, getting pregnant before marriage, but it seems that they haven't progressed to the point of love yet.

These days, short dramas are becoming reality. Are there still so many examples of women getting pregnant before falling in love?

Qi Xi was enjoying her meal when she suddenly remembered that she hadn't returned to Yu Li yet.

Best friend: [Honey, I suspect my uncle also watches those short dramas. Otherwise, how could he suddenly have a wife and even a child? This "pregnancy first, love later" trope is just like you!]

These days, so many people go to the wrong room, sleep with the wrong person, and get married in a flash? The civil affairs bureau wouldn't have to worry about a low marriage rate.
