Chapter 57 Get Ready

Is there a second possibility that the husband and the brother-in-law are the same person?

"Forget about that irresponsible jerk, please help me move all my things in."

Yu Li: "Gifts? What are you talking about? Xi Xi, look at you, you've already come all this way, why bring a gift? We're practically family..."

When she saw the large and small bags of luggage being carried in, Yu Li performed a smile-disappearing act.

What is this?

Qi Xi gave her a knowing look, "What else could it be? With a best friend like you who forgets her friends for the sake of a pretty boy, she stays at her husband's house and refuses to come back."

"In order to take care of you, I can only move in and take care of you personally before your irresponsible deadbeat husband comes back."

Yu Li was deeply moved and hugged her best friend, giving her a big kiss.

"Of course, no one is more important than my dearest best friend. Which room do you want? I'll help you move."

Qi Xi slapped her hand.

But actually, the blows were very light.

"Save your breath. If you scare my goddaughter again, I'll teach you a lesson."

Yu Li laughed: "How can you be so sure it's a daughter?"

Qi Xi pointed to her eyes, "Sorry, my eyes are my ruler. If they weren't my daughter, I'd livestream myself eating shit while doing a handstand."

Yu Li: "...There's no need to be so ruthless."

"Lili, which room do you want to stay in? I'll stay with you, that way it will be easier to take care of you at night."

With that, Qi Xi displayed his strength and carried the suitcase, letting Yu Li lead the way.

But Yu Li stammered, "Um...this..."

Qi Xi turned around, keenly sensing something amiss, and suspiciously scanned Yu Li from head to toe.

Whenever my best friend stutters, it's either because she's done something wrong, or she's on her way to doing something wrong.

so--

"You didn't end up sleeping in the same bed with your deadbeat husband, did you?"

How did my cheap husband become a dead husband again? My best friend's speed in coming up with nicknames is faster than flipping through a book.

Yu Li touched the tip of her nose. "He only shared a bedroom with me because he was worried that it would be inconvenient for me to get up at night during my late pregnancy. But he is a very upright gentleman and did not do anything to me."

Qi Xi clicked her tongue and said, "You're still pregnant. If he were to do anything to you at this time, he wouldn't be a deadbeat husband, but a beastly husband."

"No, how can a beast be a husband? Bah!"

Seeing that her best friend was about to start arguing, Yu Li quickly stepped forward to calm her down: "But he's not home right now, so of course I'm completely my best friend."

"The room on the third floor is nice. It's a large bungalow with a balcony and a huge walk-in closet. You could move all your clothes over there and still have plenty of room to hang them up."

Sure enough, the only thing that can attract a woman's attention is a huge walk-in closet that can hold all her clothes, bags, and shoes.

During dinner that evening, Qi Xi tasted the dishes prepared by the housekeeper and his eyes lit up instantly, praising them repeatedly.

"This is absolutely delicious! Lili, where did you find this housekeeper? Her cooking skills are simply amazing!"

Qi Xi leaned closer and complained to Yu Li, "It tastes much better than what the so-called five-star chef at the Qi family's old house makes."

Yu Li laughed and said, "Isn't it because you dislike the Qi family that you feel so uncomfortable staying there, that even the food doesn't taste good?"

"Darling, how do you understand me so well!"

Yu Li: "If I don't understand you, who else does? If you like it, eat more. This housekeeper can cook dishes from eight countries, and she never makes the same thing twice."

Qi Xi drooled with envy.

"May I ask how much it would cost to hire a housekeeper like this each month?"

Yu Li: "My deadbeat husband told me that it's a million-dollar annual salary."

Qi Xi choked, "Well, I think it's pretty good to come over for a meal once in a while."

"Xixi, you're a rich heiress now, the richest family in Beijing, the Qi family. A million is nothing to you."

Qi Xi waved her hand, "My relationship with the Qi family is just a cold financial one. They give me a card and deposit a fixed amount of pocket money into it every month."

“But I still want to save this money so that when I get old, I can take you and the children and live a peaceful old age together, and never have anything to do with the Qi family again, so let’s save as much as we can.”

Her best friend spoke of it casually, but Yu Li felt particularly heartbroken listening to it.

"Is Qi Jianyue up to her tricks again? I've been hospitalized these past two days and haven't had time to deal with her, but when my colleague came to visit me yesterday, she mentioned that she also wants to do an interview."

"Given how much trouble she causes, and after I humiliated her last time, she's unlikely to settle down."

Qi Xi exploded upon hearing this, "What? She still has the nerve to copy you? These days, plagiarism is so blatant, they don't even bother to act anymore?"

"No, I have to go back to the Qi family. Even if I can't do it openly anymore, I have to find a chance to put her in a sack and let her know that plagiarists don't have a good ending!"

Yu Li hurriedly pulled back her best friend, who was in a great hurry to jump out of bed.

"No rush, no rush. Do you think I can't handle her? When I get back to the TV station tomorrow, it'll be time to hunt her down. Don't worry, ever since I joined the TV station, when has she not been completely crushed by me?"

As she spoke, Yu Li helped her best friend remove the face mask from her face.

"Besides, we're wearing a face mask right now, so we can't waste it just for some green tea."

Qi Xi sat back down. "That makes sense."

The two best friends were lying comfortably in bed, watching a popular movie, and wearing face masks. Life couldn't be more comfortable.

If Qi Chenyan hadn't made a video call, Yu Li would have almost forgotten about her husband.

Yu Li had just picked up her phone when her best friend grabbed her hand.

"Don't run away. Pick him up now. I want to see what kind of monster this deadbeat husband who values ​​work more than his wife really is."

Yu Li: "Then you'd better be mentally prepared."

"He should be prepared to be criticized by his wife's family."

I hope that when my best friend sees Qi Chenyan's face, she can still be as stubborn as she is now.

Yu Li answered the video call.

The camera was a bit shaky, and Qi Chenyan's face wasn't shown at first; it only showed his neck and below.

Did you eat dinner on time?

His deep, pleasant voice sent a tingling sensation through my ears.

Qi Xi, who had been so aggressive just moments before, leaned over and whispered to Yu Li, "Considering that his voice is quite pleasant and somewhat resembles my uncle's, I won't be too harsh on him later."

Honey, I've never seen someone switch sides so quickly!

Yu Li chuckled and nodded, "You finished work early today?"

The original intention was to say that her best friend was next to her.

Unexpectedly, in the video, a man's long, slender, jade-like hand appeared, slowly and deliberately untying his tie.

Next, there are the coat buttons.

One, two...

Accompanied by Qi Chenyan's unhurried voice: "It's not over yet. There's a banquet later. I was just worried about you, but I was afraid you'd fall asleep after I finished work, so I made a video call in advance."

Qi Xi made a face at the side, looking like she was being sour.

Yu Li originally thought that Qi Chenyan was just taking off his coat, but unexpectedly, he started to unbutton his shirt next.

His perfectly defined muscles were faintly visible beneath his shirt.

Yu Li slammed the phone shut.

Qi Xi leaned closer curiously, "What's wrong?"
