She sighed, "Yes, Dad is so slow. Even if you, Sister Qin, teach him, he probably still won't be able to learn. Sigh~"
Qin Yuanyao "..."
Meanwhile, Chi Baiyi, who was working in the president's office on the top floor of the Chi Group's office building, sneezed several times.
Chi Baiyi unconsciously adjusted the lapel of his suit jacket.
What happened?
Is the office air conditioning set too low?
Thinking this, Chi Baiyi used voice control to raise the temperature of the air conditioner by a few degrees.
...
Qin Yuanyao taught Chi Naozi to write for several hours. Estimating that it was almost time, and that Chi Baiyi should be coming home from get off work soon, she told Chi Naozi that she was going home.
When Chi Naoqi heard that she was leaving, she quit.
"Sister Qin, please have dinner before you leave. Last time I visited your house, my dad and I ate dinner before we left."
Chi Nao is very good at applying what she's said to others, and she almost made Qin Yuanyao unable to think of a polite way to refuse.
"I have something to do tonight, so I won't eat. I'll eat next time."
"Are you really busy tonight?" Chi Nao looked at her with her bright almond-shaped eyes, her clear gaze seeming to see right through her little thoughts.
Qin Yuanyao "..."
"You adults always like to say 'next time, next time,' but when is 'next time'? You adults just love to lie to children."
Qin Yuanyao "..."
Qin Yuanyao was still struggling when the sound of a car driving in could be heard outside the house.
"Dad's back!" Chi Nao was overjoyed and pulled Qin Yuanyao downstairs.
Qin Yuanyao couldn't refuse her, so she could only let her pull her along.
Chi Baiyi was wearing a bespoke suit, the jacket of which he had taken off and draped over his arm. He exuded coldness, and every casual step he took was imposing.
"Dad—" Chi Nao let go of Qin Yuanyao and ran happily towards Chi Baiyi.
When Chi Baiyi's gaze fell on Chi Naozi, the chill in his body instantly dissipated, and the surrounding air became soft and light.
He crouched down and hugged Chi Nia, who had rushed into his arms.
"Daddy, Sister Qin came to teach me to write today!" Chi Nao pointed at Qin Yuanyao with her little finger and said to Chi Baiyi.
When Chi Nao called him, he noticed Qin Yuanyao next to Chi Nao.
At this moment, Chi Nao mentioned Qin Yuanyao, and Chi Baiyi nodded slightly to her as a greeting.
Qin Yuanyao nodded slightly.
"Chi..." Qin Yuanyao was about to tell Chi Baiyi that she was leaving when Chi Baiyi interrupted her after she had only uttered one word.
"Dad, Sister Qin taught me to write a lot of characters. Should we invite her to stay for dinner?"
Qin Yuanyao "..."
“Yes.” Chi Baiyi turned to Qin Yuanyao and said, “Let’s finish our meal before we leave.”
Qin Yuanyao originally wanted to leave early in order to avoid Chi Baiyi.
Now that Chi Baiyi is back, there's no point in her avoiding him anymore.
Qin Yuanyao then agreed.
Chi Nao cheered, "Dad, your words are the most effective. Sister Qin likes you the most. I asked her to stay for dinner, but she didn't agree!"
Qin Yuanyao "..."
Chi Baiyi "..."
There's really no need for that association.
Qin Yuanyao gave an awkward smile, while a few imperceptible cracks appeared on Chi Baiyi's usually icy face.
"Let's go eat." Chi Baiyi gently pushed Chi Naoqi towards the restaurant.
Chi Cheese skipped excitedly into the kitchen.
One of the things she looked forward to most each day was what delicious food the chef had prepared.
When Chi Baiyi walked over to Qin Yuanyao, he said, "Thank you for taking such good care of the cheese."
"No trouble at all." Qin Yuanyao waved her hands repeatedly. "Cheese is very smart, I don't need to spend any effort to teach it."
“By the way, Mr. Chi,” Qin Yuanyao said, “I met with Director Jiang today. Thank you for letting Director Jiang give me time to deal with the matters with my former company.”
Chi Baiyi's dark eyes paused slightly.
He hadn't expected Qin Yuanyao to find out about this, and he immediately felt a little uncomfortable.
"Hmm." He gave a curt reply and entered the restaurant with an air of nonchalance.
Chi Nao and Qin Yuanyao sat on one side, and Chi Baiyi sat on the other side. The three of them ate dinner together.
Pang Sao went upstairs to Chi Nai's room to tidy up.
Suddenly, Aunt Pang came running downstairs in a panic, carrying a tray.
"Young lady, what is this? Where did you get it? You're not going to eat it, are you? Oh dear, it's all black and murky, you can't eat it! What if it kills you? Who gave you this stuff?"
Chi Nai swallowed the food in her mouth with a calm expression and said, "It's a snack made by Dad."
Sister-in-law Pang "..."
The tray that Aunt Pang was holding was the same one that Chi Nai had shown to Qin Yuanyao earlier.
Pang Sao stole a few glances at Chi Baiyi, her face full of embarrassment.
The atmosphere in the restaurant suddenly became so quiet it was almost subtle.
Chi Baiyi's expression was indescribable. He cleared his throat and asked Chi Naozi, "Didn't I throw them all away? Why are there still some in your room?"
Chi Cheese: "I specially saved a few pieces for Sister Qin to see."
Chi Baiyi "..."
Qin Yuanyao "..."
So that's how these little snacks came about...
"Dad, I asked Sister Qin to teach you how to make snacks, but Sister Qin refused. Even Sister Qin thinks you're clumsy and made the snacks look like this."
Chi Baiyi "..."
Qin Yuanyao "..."
No! I didn't! Don't talk nonsense!
Qin Yuanyao felt that this needed to be explained properly, so she quickly said, "No, I think that the chefs who can be hired by Mr. Chi must be the top chefs in the country. If I can't learn from such a skilled chef, how could I, a half-baked one, possibly teach them?"
Chi Baiyi "..."
Sister-in-law Pang "..."
After Qin Yuanyao finished speaking, the atmosphere in the restaurant became even more eerily quiet.
Qin Yuanyao also noticed that something seemed amiss.
until……
Chi Nai asked innocently, "Doesn't this mean Daddy is stupid?"
Qin Yuanyao: "?"
Qin Yuanyao: "!!!"
Holy crap!! This is actually a euphemism for saying that Chi Baiyi is really stupid!!
Qin Yuanyao quickly chuckled awkwardly and tried to salvage the situation, saying, "Everyone has their own strengths. It's normal for someone as successful in business as Mr. Chi not to be good at cooking. As for me, although my cooking skills are passable, I'm a complete idiot when it comes to business."
Chi Nao tilted her head in confusion. "Does this mean Dad can't cook and is clumsy when it comes to cooking?"
Chi Baiyi "..."
Sister-in-law Pang "..."
Qin Yuanyao lightly slapped her own face.
Okay, little darling, stop talking.
Just as the atmosphere in the restaurant was so awkward that people were practically digging their toes into the ground, the sound of cars driving in came from outside the house, and there was more than one car.
Aunt Pang quickly broke the awkward silence, "Who's here? I'll go see."
Pang Sao hurried out, and then they heard her exclamation.
