Chapter 93 Appealing to Both Men and Women

It's very simple for Qi Chenyan to understand someone's family situation; it only takes him a single sentence.

In fact, after accidentally sleeping with Yu Li and finding her through surveillance and other means, Qi Chenyan had already learned all her information immediately.

Especially when you see the section for parents, it says "divorced".

Yu Li did not live with her father or mother, but lived with her grandmother.

Qi Chenyan guessed that this must be the pain of Yu Li's original family that she was unwilling to mention during her growth.

Therefore, when it came to meeting the parents, Qi Chenyan never mentioned his father-in-law or mother-in-law, but simply referred to them as his parents.

As for which parent to meet, the choice is Yu Li's.

Tan Mo felt that she was not only woken up in the middle of the night, but also forced to eat a mouthful of dog food.

"I never expected you to suddenly become so thoughtful and considerate, Lao Qi. With such a warm and caring attitude, your wife must be head over heels in love with you. Even if I were a woman, I would fall in love with you."

Qi Chenyan told Tan Mo not to feel disgusted, otherwise he would have nightmares that night.

"Since your wife has told you so much about her grandmother's preferences, just follow the old lady's preferences. And brother, trust your face that can charm both men and women."

"Suitable for all ages, easy to meet the parents, and you'll win them over with ease."

Qi Chenyan felt that his brother was all talk and no action and could not provide any useful value, so he decisively said "Go wash up and go to bed" and hung up the phone.

Little did they know, Tan Mo spent most of the day cursing on his phone.

What a scumbag! He'll be kicked out by his wife's grandma with her cane when he meets her parents tomorrow!

Yu Li, on the other hand, slept well.

Because she was going to visit her grandmother today, she had already asked her boss for leave before going to bed last night.

I slept until eight o'clock before stretching and getting out of bed.

When she woke up, she found, as usual, that Qi Chenyan was no longer there.

Given Yu Li's schedule, even when she's at work, Qi Chenyan would already be up by the time she gets up.

They're either rushing to catch a flight for work, or they're doing their morning exercise.

In short, for Yu Li, exercising is fine, but getting her out of bed to exercise in the morning is absolutely impossible, no matter what.

As he yawned and turned down the escalator, Qi Chenyan greeted him with a clear, melodious voice: "Good morning."

"Good morning……"

Yu Li's yawn was only halfway through when her husband, who had completely changed his style today, like a cheap husband with a different layer filter on, suddenly became incredibly handsome.

Qi Chenyan wasn't wearing a formal suit or an old-fashioned jacket today, unlike usual.

Instead, she chose a brighter, more casual outfit.

The top is a light blue embossed shirt jacket, over which is a simple white crew neck sweatshirt, and the bottom is a pair of black draped jogger pants.

He looked clean and refreshed, making him appear several years younger, like a recent college graduate.

This is quite different from Qi Chenyan's previous upright style.

Yu Li could hardly believe her eyes and rubbed them vigorously.

"What's wrong? Is my outfit inappropriate today?"

Perhaps due to his work, Qi Chenyan usually appears serious and unsmiling. Although he has a touch of the refined elegance of a noble young master from an ancient family, he is more like an unapproachable, solitary moon.

Simply put, it is something that can only be admired from afar, not touched.

But today's outfit softened his aloof demeanor, making him appear more refreshing and approachable.

Yu Li shook her head repeatedly, slipped on her slippers, and jogged over to him.

He deliberately adopted an exaggerated posture, supporting his chin with both hands, blinking his eyes, and exclaiming "Wow!" in an exaggerated way.

"Director Qi, has anyone ever told you that you look particularly youthful in light-colored casual shirt suits, like a young college student who hasn't graduated yet?"

"He's so handsome! I thought a college student had somehow snuck into our house!"

Qi Chenyan chuckled and reached out to smooth down a single stray hair that had been pressed up by his wife's sleep.

"Then thank you, Miss Yu, for making me look young."

Heaven knows that Qi Chenyan spent last night alone, facing the huge walk-in closet, selecting items one by one.

Even when he hosted a press conference for the first time, Qi Chenyan had never been this nervous.

In the end, he took into account the suggestions from netizens and chose an outfit that didn't look too imposing, but could also make him appear more approachable and friendly.

Then he didn't sleep much, but sat in the living room downstairs, waiting for his wife to get up so she could see his changes immediately.

Qi Chenyan had been paying close attention to Yu Li's reaction the moment she saw him.

In retrospect, his efforts in choosing that night were worthwhile; the result was quite good.

"But why did you suddenly change your style today? I almost didn't recognize you."

Qi Chenyan pulled her to sit down, worried that it would be too tiring for her to bend over and lie on the sofa with her butt sticking out.

He explained, "It's my first time meeting Grandma, and I want to appear more approachable. Otherwise, if I scare her and she kicks me out, that wouldn't be good."

Yu Li was overjoyed. "I never thought that Director Qi would one day lose confidence in himself."

"Don't worry, as the saying goes, 'As long as your face is there, your country is there.' My grandma is just like me, a top-tier looks-obsessed person. As long as she sees your face, she'll definitely like you just like I do."

Qi Chenyan raised an eyebrow slightly, "Like you, you like me?"

Oh dear, I spoke too quickly, and now I've uttered something wrong again!

Yu Li tried to explain: "What I mean is, I like your face just as much as I like your face."

Qi Chenyan chuckled and nodded, "Then it seems I need to pay more attention to my health. After all, I'm five years older than my wife. If I age prematurely, I'll be outshone by the younger men and relegated to the sidelines."

Yu Li gave a thumbs-up gesture, "Our Ministry of Foreign Affairs' Director Qi is an ageless god, whoever says you're old, I'll argue with them!"

Qi Chenyan's smiling peach blossom eyes reflected the vivid and lively expressions of his little wife.

After breakfast, the two prepared to go out.

Qi Chenyan didn't call a driver, but drove himself and Yu Li to Panxi Village.

Since it takes almost three hours to drive there, it's definitely not possible to go and return on the same day.

Most importantly, Yu Li hadn't visited her grandmother for almost two months, so she thought she'd take this opportunity to stay in the countryside for a couple more days.

When Yu Li opened the trunk, she was shocked by the amount of gifts it was filled with.

His jaw opened and closed repeatedly, and it took him a while to remember to speak: "Why did you buy so much stuff?"

"It's the first time meeting the parents, so of course we need to be well prepared. Don't worry, we won't waste anything; everything is something that Grandma can use."

But Yu Li thought that with such a large carload, Grandma probably wouldn't be able to use it all up even if she lived forever.

"You didn't stay up all night preparing gifts, did you?"
