Chapter 91 Imprisonment Without a Wife

Zhou Heran almost burst out laughing at Qi Xiaoyun's stupidity.

He tried so hard to suppress his laughter that he almost injured himself, and then, pretending to be serious, patted Qi Xiaoyun on the shoulder.

“Keep this secret, otherwise your uncle’s wife and children will be separated, and the Qi family will never have peace. Then it will all be your fault.”

"There's a big surprise waiting for you later."

Qi Xiaoyun slapped away the other's paw and disdainfully brushed off non-existent dust from his shoulder.

"Our Qi family's affairs are none of your business to feign compassion and cry like crocodile. On the contrary, if you, with your big mouth, dare to spread rumors and slander my uncle's innocence, you're finished!"

After making the threat, Qi Xiaoyun walked away triumphantly.

Zhou Heran watched Qi Xiaoyun's retreating figure and sighed.

"This poor kid, besides being able to write songs, is completely useless in the brain. I hope he can still laugh when he sees this surprise."

By the time Yu Li finished her final tasks, it was almost ten o'clock.

As she got into the car, Yu Li said apologetically, "I'm sorry to have kept you waiting so long. Actually, I drove, you can go home first..."

Before he could finish speaking, Qi Chenyan, who was sitting in the driver's seat, suddenly leaned halfway over.

The faint scent of snow falling on pine trees emanated from the man, filling the air and causing Yu Li's heart to race. She had intended to hold her breath.

But his mind didn't keep up with his actions; his nose took the lead and he took a deep breath.

It was like a top-tier lung tamer, and it even made the sound of deep breathing.

Qi Chenyan lowered his gaze and looked down. His deep, star-like peach blossom eyes seemed to see right through her little actions, and he smiled with a ripple of emotion.

Yu Li covered her face.

Oh no, she's embarrassed herself in front of Qi Chenyan again!

Fortunately, Qi Chenyan didn't say anything, but instead fastened the seatbelt for her with a click.

"If a man can't even wait a little while to pick up his wife from get off work, then he should be sentenced to a life without a wife."

Yu Li blinked and chuckled, instantly dispelling the awkwardness from before.

"Director Qi is so trendy, he even knows the fashionable term 'imprisonment without a wife'?"

Qi Chenyan sighed, "There's nothing I can do. After all, my wife and I are five years apart. If I don't consciously take supplements, she'll think I'm a caveman and I'll be eliminated by society."

Yu Li was overjoyed.

Qi Chenyan then handed her a packaged taro ball and taro sago dessert.

Yu Li's eyes lit up immediately, filled with disbelief: "My favorite taro ball flavored sago pudding, how did you know I've been craving this for so long?"

No one can resist taro ball flavored sago pudding. It's a dessert that she and her best friend always order when they eat out.

I saw it on WeChat Moments.

Yu Li paused in her unpacking before realizing what was happening.

She enjoys sharing her daily life, which is related to her regular use of Weibo.

So sometimes, when she suddenly wants to do something but doesn't have time to do it, she'll post a rant on her WeChat Moments.

The post on WeChat Moments about wanting to eat taro balls and taro sago pudding was probably from three months ago.

Judging from the posts on her WeChat Moments, seeing this post from three months ago shows that Qi Chenyan had been looking through it for a long time.

Or rather, he read through all of her WeChat Moments.

He seemed to genuinely want to settle down and slowly get to know this wife who seemed to have fallen from the sky, yet was bound to him for life.

Otherwise, given his workload and his old-fashioned, empty social media presence, he wouldn't even post on his own social media, let alone look at other people's.

Yu Li took a bite of the sago pudding. The sweetness of the dessert flowed into her mouth, as if it were flowing into her blood, slowly and imperceptibly seeping into her heart.

It's sweet and warm.

"It's delicious, would you like to try some?"

Yu Li is the kind of person who likes to share delicious food with others.

When she's with her best friend, they go out to explore different restaurants, and if they find something delicious, they feed each other.

So without thinking, or perhaps because she was moved by Qi Chenyan's actions, she scooped up a spoonful and fed it to Qi Chenyan without even thinking.

Actually, her action wasn't abrupt, because Qi Chenyan was driving and she couldn't take it to eat herself.

But what's surprising is that Yu Li had eaten from that spoon.

She remembered that Qi Chenyan seemed to have obsessive-compulsive disorder related to cleanliness.

Although Qi Chenyan himself never mentioned this, after getting to know the other party, especially after moving into the seaside villa, he learned about it.

Whether it's the bedroom or any other room, everything is spotless. There's a dedicated housekeeper who cleans on time every day, which shows just how clean the villa's owner is.

That guy is deadly! He's always slow when he should be, and incredibly fast when he shouldn't be, you can't stop him!

Yu Li felt extremely embarrassed and wanted to cover up her behavior with a couple of awkward laughs. She also wanted to subtly withdraw her hand before Qi Chenyan could react.

But before she could make a move, Qi Chenyan lowered his head slightly and ate the sago pudding from the spoon.

She smiled and said, "It's very sweet, it really is delicious."

The low, deep laughter, like a deadly poison, pierced Yu Li's ears, stirring her mind and making her feel flustered and confused.

She quickly withdrew her hand and, instinctively, bit the spoon.

After she came to her senses, she belatedly realized that Qi Chenyan's lips had just touched the spoon, and now that she was biting it, wasn't that an indirect kiss?

Yu Li wanted to give in, but felt guilty for not doing so.

Even if it was an indirect kiss, Qi Chenyan went first, because she had eaten from the spoon first.

That's right, if anyone is wrong, it's Qi Chenyan who was wrong first.

Besides, they're a married couple with kids, so what's wrong with them eating what each other has already eaten?

These are all normal behaviors between husband and wife.

Yu Li successfully convinced herself and happily ate the sago pudding again.

But Qi Chenyan then added, "I have time tomorrow, how about I go visit Grandma?"

"Cough cough..."

Yu Li was caught off guard by this unexpected meeting with the parents. It's true that one shouldn't be too happy, otherwise, joy can easily turn into sorrow.

Qi Chenyan turned the steering wheel, stopped on the side of the road, turned on the hazard lights, and immediately turned to check.

"What's wrong? Did you choke?"

Yu Li waved her hand, and Qi Chenyan handed her a bottle of water.

She cleared her throat before saying, "It's alright. Are you really going to see Grandma with me tomorrow?"

"As the saying goes, even an ugly daughter-in-law has to meet her parents-in-law eventually. So, I, the ugly son-in-law, naturally have to visit the most important family members in your life."

Yu Li was stunned.

It was all because Qi Chenyan said he was going to visit the most important family member in her life.

He knew that the most important person in her life was her grandmother.

Because her parents divorced when she was young and each remarried.

And her daughter seemed to be the most superfluous one between the two families.
