Chapter 72 Sweet Words

Yu Li made a funny face: "Then I said it's okay, you guys just go ahead and do it, my boyfriend likes this type."

Qi Chenyan raised an eyebrow slightly: "Boyfriend?"

He wasn't too happy with the title.

Yu Li immediately changed her address: "Husband, husband."

Qi Chenyan chuckled, "Yes, I'm here."

Yu Li was taken aback, then realized that Qi Chenyan was responding to the term "husband".

She touched her earlobe shyly and changed the subject: "I just feel that you usually use high-end products that you can't tell what brand they are. My best friend and I went to a luxury store and I felt that none of them matched your temperament."

"After thinking it over, I decided to choose something unique that would show I put thought into it. This phone case is quite distinctive, isn't it?"

Seeing his wife go to such lengths, even spending most of the day shopping at the mall, Qi Chenyan felt a warmth in his heart, but even more so, a pang of heartache.

"It's just a simple souvenir, it doesn't need to be so elaborate. As long as it's from you, whatever it is, it represents your unique sentiments, and I like it."

Yu Li's gaze drifted away, "Are all you diplomats as good at sweet-talking and flattering people as you are?"

Qi Chenyan chuckled, "I don't know about others, but what I said was the truth."

Yu Li felt she couldn't continue this conversation with the man, otherwise her heart would pound so hard it would be deafening, and he would notice.

"Since you like it, then put on the new phone case now. As the saying goes, new things bring new beginnings."

"And to be honest, the phone case you were using before was the one that came with the phone, right? It's completely transparent, like an old cadre who's out of touch with society."

"If you ask me, what you're missing is someone who can match your style. I have excellent taste. Once you change to this phone case, your colleagues will be green with envy."

Qi Chenyan's eyes were full of smiles. "Yes, so what I lacked before was a wife with excellent taste. I am very grateful to my wife for transforming me and making me the envy of others."

As he spoke, Qi Chenyan picked up the gold phone case, removed his original phone case, and prepared to install it.

Yu Li quickly stopped him, "You're wrong, the black one is for men, and the gold one is for women. Plus, it has my cartoon portrait printed on it, so you can't use it."

"Since it's a couple's set, naturally you should use your partner's photo. How can using your own photo count as a couple's set?"

That makes sense, but wait, I've been tricked!

"That's true, but don't you men prefer black? Besides, your job is special. If you go out with a phone case like this and someone sees the picture on it, we'll both be exposed!"

Qi Chenyan calmly countered, "Does the portrait on this page resemble you?"

Yu Li compared them and said, "People who know me well probably think I look a lot like them, right?"

"Yes, only people who know you will think you look like them, but there are quite a few people in this world who look alike, let alone a cartoon avatar that is easy to resemble."

"And as long as I don't admit it, who would associate this profile picture with you?"

Yu Li was somewhat convinced: "But although this profile picture doesn't perfectly match my face, it's still obvious that it's a woman's. What if someone asks you why you're using a woman's profile picture as your phone case background? How will you answer that?"

Qi Chenyan raised his hand and rubbed her head.

"Don't worry, no one will dare ask me such a private question, and as long as I don't give a direct answer, what others think is none of my business."

Anyway, Yu Li understood that Qi Chenyan was determined to use the gold phone case.

Since he insisted on using it, Yu Li naturally stopped insisting.

"Okay, the gold one is for you, I'll switch to the black one once I get my phone back."

Qi Chenyan hummed in agreement and adjusted his seat. "Are you tired? There's still a long way to go. Take a nap, I'll wake you when we get there."

Yu Li blinked. "You must be more tired than me from all that traveling back and forth, right?"

"I'm fine. This workload is relatively light. I'm used to it. I still need to process some more documents. You should go to sleep."

Qi Chenyan asked the flight attendant for a blanket and covered Yu Li with it.

Yu Li didn't know why, even though she and Qi Chenyan were strangers just a month and a half ago, they had only been married for half a month.

But sitting next to him now, smelling the unique, cool scent of pine on him, she felt a strange sense of peace.

Thinking this, her eyelids grew heavier and heavier until she didn't even know when she fell asleep.

While Qi Chenyan was working on documents on his tablet, he kept an eye on Yu Li out of the corner of his eye.

It can be said that he has taken multitasking to the extreme.

When he noticed Yu Li's head swaying from side to side, he put down his tablet, quietly reached out, and cupped his wife's small, pretty face in his hands.

Then slowly, place her on his shoulder, so that she can sleep more comfortably leaning against him.

Qi Chenyan turned his phone over and stroked the Q-version cartoon portrait on the back with his fingertips.

Actually, Qi Chenyan told a little lie just now, which is that the cartoon character looks quite similar to Yu Li herself, and the shop owner's skills are very good.

Using this phone case is like carrying his wife's photo with him at all times. Whenever he needs to use his phone, he can see this picture anytime, anywhere.

At this moment, Qi Xi and Zhou Heran, who had finally managed to escape the fans' siege, finally arrived at the store.

After searching around, they couldn't find any trace of Yu Li.

Oh no, did we really lose them?

Zhou Heran didn't dare to call Qi Chenyan right away, and only dared to send him a message to ask him secretly.

Zhou Zhou: [Old Qi, have you arrived yet? Have you found your sister-in-law?]

A while later, she received Qi Chenyan's reply: "We're already on our way back. Thank you for taking her home, her best friend."

Zhou Heran looked at the text message. If there hadn't been other people around, he would have cursed out the term "national essence".

In order to reunite with Yu Li, he dodged and weaved here, working up a sweat.

Qi Chenyan, on the other hand, not only found a wife, but also took her to enjoy some alone time together.

Sure enough, people who are in love should have their entire families executed!

Qi Xi was very anxious: "What should we do? Lili isn't in the store either. Where could she have gone? Could she be in any danger?"

"Don't worry, she's with her dear husband and they're already on the way back to the city. We've been fooled."

Qi Xi let out a sigh of relief: "It's good that Lili is alright."

She glanced at the time and thought to herself, "Oh no, I'm going to miss the bullet train..."

"Miss Qi, please return your ticket and I'll take you home."
