Chapter 976 Hugs, hugs, I want a hug!

"..."

Perhaps hearing her father's voice, Qu Qingli's stomach suddenly moved slightly.

"!"

Chi Yingzhou was pleasantly surprised, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up.

You still love your dad, right?

But he hoped that his mother would like his father more.

——

West Coast Casino.

Qu Qingli sat in her office, looking through the photos her manager had sent her.

This is the person he has chosen for Chief Chi.

From eighteen to forty-eight years old, from older to younger...

Sunny, handsome, cool, humorous, puppy-like...

All kinds of types are available.

Qu Qingli watched with her eyes dazzled, as if the emperor were choosing his concubines.

"Ms. Qu, are you satisfied?" the manager asked curiously. "I've investigated, and Luo Zhong does indeed have dealings with the minister. The bidding process is less than a week away, so we need to hurry."

Qu Qingli frowned and said in a low voice, "Have you found out where Chief Chi is?"

"Found it."

The manager immediately took out an itinerary and pointed to the last item, saying, "Three days from now, at the Xuanzhou Starry Sky International Business Center, Director Chi will be receiving foreign guests."

"He will be there in person."

"Someone can get an invitation, but it costs a lot of money."

"The amount of money doesn't matter." Qu Qingli took out a bank card from her bag, with the PIN written on the back: "I'm entrusting this matter entirely to you."

“I won’t let you down.” The manager took the card, put it in his pocket, and asked before leaving, “Boss, what do you think of the ‘gift’ I chose?”

Gift?

Qu Qingli realized that he was referring to the "male concubine" chosen for Chief Chi.

"These two are not bad!" Qu Qingli thought for a few seconds, then pointed to the two at the top and said, "When the time comes, have them come with me!"

These two look better to me!

"..."

The manager glanced down at the person Miss Qu had chosen.

Oh.

His looks and demeanor are somewhat similar to Mr. Chi.

See?

He knew that Miss Qu's heart had long been occupied by Mr. Chi.

With a little more effort, Mr. Chi will eventually be promoted to a permanent position.

——

After the manager left.

Old Ou was giving his daily report when he casually put down the washed grapes.

“I’ve tried it, it’s very sweet, Miss Qu will definitely like it.”

Old Ou smiled and said, "Eat more grapes, and your daughter will be very cute."

"Thanks."

Qu Qingli took a bite, and it did taste quite good.

However, after she became pregnant, she craved sour foods and didn't crave sweet ones as much.

"It's too sweet," Qu Qingli said. "Next time, buy some sour ones. I've been craving sour food lately."

Sour?

Ali hates sour foods the most.

Chi Yingzhou couldn't help but think of the information he had looked up last night.

According to older generations, a pregnant woman can determine the sex of her baby by observing her taste preferences.

Sour for boys, spicy for girls.

Qingli likes sour food, could it be that she's carrying a son?

Oh my god!

Chi Yingzhou simply couldn't bear to think about this ghost story!

The rumor is definitely false!

The older generation's sayings can sometimes be inaccurate!

That's right!

Definitely not!

Old Ou frowned, seemingly lost in thought.

Qu Qingli asked curiously, "What's wrong? Is something the matter?"

"No."

Old Ou shook his head, but his heart felt heavy. He didn't want a son; he wanted a little princess.

"oh!"

Seeing his strange behavior, Qu Qingli didn't ask any further questions.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

A staff member announced, "Ms. Qu, a guest has arrived."

"guest?"

Qu Qingli frowned; she remembered that she had no guests scheduled for today.

Could it be that bastard Luo Zhong again, deliberately trying to cause trouble?

"The other party said their surname was Pei," the staff member added.

Pei?

The only person she knew with the surname Pei was Wuwu!

Wuwu came to find her!

Qu Qingli disregarded everything else, put down the documents, and immediately ran outside in her slippers.

"Miss, please be careful!" Chi Yingzhou was quite frightened and immediately rushed after her, almost unable to even utter a sound.

"???"

He encountered staff members on the street who stared at him with a puzzled look at his brisk pace.

"Cough cough—"

Realizing he was running too fast, Chi Yingzhou had no choice but to slow down.

——

Reception room.

Pei Jinwu and Shang Shiyan sat on the sofa, chatting casually.

The content was roughly related to the casino, saying that business was good and they must have made a lot of money.

Pei Jinwu also said, "If I had known, I would have let Sixth Sister sit at the table during the New Year."

The others were all poorer than the last.

In the end, they refused to take any more money.

He has no gambling spirit.

Shang Shiyan smiled and looked at her: "How about we take a gamble?"

Maybe I can win a small sum.

"Well, you've managed to ruin your own family's business." Pei Jinwu poked his chest and whispered, "Don't try to take advantage of my sixth sister, try taking advantage of the rest of the family instead."

Before she came, she had inquired about a casino that was always working against her sixth sister.

Perfect timing, let's go check it out and see what's going on!

"I'll listen to you!"

Shang Shiyan held his wife's hand, his heart stirred, and he leaned down to kiss her.

"Fog! Fog!!!"

The door suddenly opened, and Qu Qingli rushed in.

Upon seeing her younger sister, she immediately opened her arms wide, overjoyed: "Hug me, hug me, I want a hug!"

Unfortunately, with Shang Shiyan in between, it was very inconvenient to carry him.

"..."

Qu Qingli stopped and stared at Shang Shiyan with a puzzled look.

"?"

Before Shang Shiyan could react to Qu Qingli's face, he heard Pei Jinwu say, "Sit to the side, don't get in the way."

"oh!"

Shang Shiyan immediately stood up with a wry smile and moved to the next seat so as not to disturb the two sisters' hug and reminiscing.

Why did you come here?

Qu Qingli hugged Pei Jinwu tightly, her eyes moist, filled with surprise and emotion: "You have no idea how much I missed you all since I came back from the capital."

"I came to see you." Pei Jinwu patted her sister's head and coaxed her softly, "How are you? Is the little one being good?"

"It's quite well-behaved." Qu Qingli sniffed and said with a smile, "It's only been five months, but it's already practically a spirit."

"Huh?" Pei Jinwu was confused. "Become a spirit?"

"yes."

Qu Qingli grabbed Pei Jinwu and launched into a tirade: "He's backing his dad up! He wasn't even born yet, and he's already siding with outsiders!"

"And another thing, he looks like Chi Ying-chou, not like me at all!"

"Wuwu, I feel like that delivery guy, all the hard work but no credit!"

"Chi Yingzhou is still traveling around the world and having a great time."

"..."

Pei Jinwu listened attentively to her complaints, all of which were related to Chi Yingzhou.

She held Qu Qingli's hand and whispered, "If you miss him, then let him come back."

Qu Qingli was taken aback, lowered her eyes, and answered softly, "I wasn't thinking about him."

"real?"

"...Really?" The voice grew softer with each passing moment.

"..."

Qu Qingli pursed her lips, and even learned to lie through her teeth.

And what about Chi Ying-chou, who went on a world tour?

He's so carefree!

As the two were talking, a figure suddenly entered through the door.

"Miss Qu, Miss Pei, Mr. Shang," Old Ou greeted respectfully, carrying fruit.

"This is Lao Ou, a new employee at the casino."

Qu Qingli introduced in a soft voice.

"Staff?"

Pei Jinwu's gaze fell on Old Ou, and after looking him over, her starry eyes narrowed slightly as she lazily asked, "Old Ou?"

"..."

When he met Pei Jinwu's sharp gaze, Old Ou's heart skipped a beat.
