Xu Keke was so engrossed in her own thoughts that two little voices were arguing in her head. One said to eat, and the other said not to eat. Qi Chang, on the other hand, kept a smile on his face and watched Xu Keke's expression closely.

Apart from the two little ones still gnawing on chicken feet, everyone else at the table sensed something was wrong. Qi Chang had never spoken to anyone so gently before.

Mr. Qi and Mrs. Qi exchanged a glance, both seeing disbelief in each other's eyes.

Xiao Bei didn't think too much about it, only that Qi Chang was so gentle to women who couldn't possibly become his wife. She was even thinking that if Qi Chang treated her like this, she would go home right now and tell her mother that she wouldn't marry anyone but Qi Chang.

Not long after Xiao Bei left, Chun Ge, who had driven them there, arrived. He took Qi Chang's hand and followed Qi's father to the study.

Qi's mother then took Xu Keke and the others upstairs. She hadn't expected Gao Jiaqing to come, so she asked the housekeeper to prepare a room.

"You'll be sleeping in the same room as your Uncle Qi for a while."

"Auntie, it's okay, Jiaqing can sleep with me too." Xu Keke glanced at the bed, which wasn't small, and it shouldn't be a problem for three people to sleep in it.

"That won't do. It's too uncomfortable for three people to squeeze together. As soon as we got back, Qi Chang asked us to add a blanket to their room. The two of them can sleep there tonight."

Then, Qi's mother took Xu Keke and the others upstairs to her study. There was a large bookcase that took up one wall. It was filled with all sorts of books; the three of them couldn't take it all in.

The two little ones each picked a book with lots of pictures and sat down to look at it.

Qi's mother pointed to a pile on the ground, "Those review materials are over there, you can choose them yourself."

Xu Keke quickly looked away from the 'idle books' and squatted down to flip through the books on the floor. Qi's mother then took a stool and sat down next to her, reading with her.
