Chapter 34 Talking Nonsense

Qi Chenyan has a photographic memory. Although he had only been here once, it was his wife's home after all, so he knew the way very well.

But after hearing this, Qi Xi looked at him with a hesitant expression.

Finally, he managed to say, "Uncle, what Grandpa said actually makes a lot of sense. If you're under too much work pressure, you should take a vacation to adjust your mood."

Fearing that Qi Chenyan would think she was too talkative, Qi Xi immediately got out of the car after saying this.

Bowing again, "Thank you, Uncle. Goodbye, Uncle!"

After Qi Xi disappeared in a flash, Qi Chenyan finally realized what she meant.

Like Grandpa Qi and the others, they probably think he's under too much work pressure or driven crazy by blind dates, and is starting to fantasize about having a wife, hence his crazy talk.

Qi Chenyan chuckled helplessly, offering no further explanation, and started the car, heading home.

Yu Li and her best friend gossiped for a while, and then the other side said they were going to thank the uncle, and then nothing happened.

While waiting, Yu Li accidentally fell asleep.

So much so that she was startled awake the moment she heard her phone ring.

But before he opened his eyes, he groggily reached for his phone.

I just saw a new message from my best friend: "Honey, I suspect my uncle is under too much work pressure and has developed a wife-obsessed syndrome!"

He just gave me a ride to Man Guifang, and he even said his wife lives in this neighborhood too. Do you think I should tell the Qi family and ask them to take my uncle to a mental hospital for a checkup?

Yu Li chuckled. "He really doesn't have mental problems. He's telling the truth. Why doesn't anyone believe him?"

Unexpectedly, a clear and elegant voice suddenly rang out in the quiet air: "Believe in what?"

Yu Li was startled, and her phone slipped from her hand with a thud.

But instead of falling to the ground, it was caught steadily in mid-air by a long, slender, jade-like hand.

"Still not asleep?"

Yu Li blinked slowly, still a little dazed as she looked at her cheap husband who had appeared before her like a ghost.

When did you get back?

Qi Chenyan placed his phone on the bedside table. "I just got back. I thought you were asleep. I saw a light on in the room as soon as I got to the door, and you were holding your phone, smiling happily."

Yu Li felt a little guilty for talking badly about others behind their backs and being caught red-handed by the person in question, so she touched the tip of her nose.

"I was asleep when my best friend sent me a funny video that made me laugh."

Yu Li casually made up a lie to change the subject: "It's only a little past nine, why are you back so soon?"

Qi Chenyan hummed in agreement and casually loosened his tie.

“Dad originally wanted me to stay and play a game of chess with him, but I promised him I would go home early, so I told him I had to go home to be with my wife, and he naturally let me go.”

Actually, he thought Qi Chenyan was mentally unstable and was making fun of him, so he told Qi Chenyan to get lost.

The man spoke so casually, yet Yu Li's face turned bright red.

Have you told your family about me?

In fact, Yu Li had already heard the gossip from her best friend, but she wanted to know Qi Chenyan's opinion even more.

“I said I would take you to meet them when I have time, but there’s no rush, because we need to visit your family first.”

"Furthermore, whether you are willing to go to the Qi family or not depends on your opinion first. I cannot make a decision on my own."

So that's what Qi Chenyan meant. No wonder he only mentioned it briefly and didn't reveal any detailed information about her.

Actually, Yu Li had only mentioned visiting her parents' home casually at the time, but she didn't expect Qi Chenyan to not only remember it, but also to consider it entirely out of respect for her wishes.

Yu Li hugged her pillow, said "Oh," and suddenly stood up, asking, "Shall I hang up your clothes for you?"

Qi Chenyan has done a lot of good today.

During the day, I helped Yu Li resolve her troubles.

When I got back to the Qi family home that night, I even helped my best friend teach Qi Jianyue, that green tea bitch, a lesson.

Although Qi Chenyan himself was unaware of it, Yu Li naturally wanted to credit him for the achievement.

So she was very enthusiastic and went up to help Qi Chenyan with his clothes.

But the man didn't want to trouble her. "I can do it myself. You go back to sleep. I'll take a shower and come over."

Yu Li blinked. "Are you saying I'm clumsy?"

Qi Chenyan chuckled and sighed, "I was just worried you'd get tired. Didn't the doctor say that it's easy to feel tired and sleepy after getting pregnant? I was afraid of disturbing your sleep."

These precautions were all mentioned by the doctor during the previous prenatal check-up. I didn't expect Qi Chenyan to remember even the smallest things.

Since the other party had already said so, and he had opened the wardrobe himself, tidied up the clothes, and hung them up, there was really no need for Yu Li to interfere.

Yu Li didn't press the matter further and sat cross-legged on the bed, saying, "Thank you for today."

Qi Chenyan chuckled, "Didn't I thank you during the day?"

"Then thank you for tonight."

Qi Chenyan raised an eyebrow, "Tonight?"

Yu Li coughed lightly: "Thank you for understanding my perspective. Otherwise, I wouldn't be quite ready to meet your parents so soon."

"Besides, your family is so well-off, I imagine many gifts wouldn't be suitable for them. I need to think carefully about what kind of gift to give them."

Qi Chenyan didn't expect Yu Li to think so much. He was originally planning to take a shower, but upon hearing this, he sat down on the edge of the bed again.

"You don't need to prepare anything, just bring your people with you. Dad is a very easy-going person, and he will definitely like you when he meets you."

Yu Li: "What about the others?"

Qi Chenyan didn't care: "You don't need to worry about others. As long as I like it, no one will dare to object."

Yu Li's ears burned, whether from shyness at the word "like" or from the domineering tone that followed, no one dared to object.

"However, I should be the one nervous about this. I don't know what your family likes, so I can prepare in advance and visit them when the time comes."

Yu Li put the word "nervous" on Qi Chenyan's handsome and indifferent face, and couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Director Qi, who can remain calm and composed in the face of foreign media's barrage of questions, is actually afraid of meeting the parents? Don't try to fool me."

Qi Chenyan: "I'm not as good as you think. I have many shortcomings, so I'm afraid your family won't like me."

Yu Li waved her hand, "No, my grandma is a very kind old lady. She would even feed a kitten that passed by on the roadside. In all these years, I have never seen her argue with anyone."

"You'll only need to bring one person and a case of milk, that'll be fine."

Qi Chenyan hummed in agreement: "So you see, meeting the parents isn't actually that difficult, so don't be nervous. I'm going to wash up now."

Yu Li watched his retreating figure, and belatedly realized what was going on.

He wasn't actually nervous, after all, his job involved dealing with all sorts of high-ranking figures every day.

He said that simply to tell her not to be nervous, that they were equals, and that they should treat each other's families with the same normal attitude.
