Qi Yan paused. He and Luan Yining were indeed much better off than before, but he still felt there was a barrier between them, especially regarding the reasons for their divorce, which he couldn't quite grasp.
Now that they are tentatively taking things step by step and their relationship has eased somewhat, Qi Yan doesn't dare to ask rashly. That's why he thought of using the variety show as an opportunity to increase the interaction between the lovers, so that he could see the problem with himself through other people's eyes.
Moreover, the relationship between Shan Song and Tong Zhao really inspired him, and he also wanted to take advantage of the show to observe how other couples get along and increase his learning samples.
All three of them stared at him, eagerly awaiting his latest developments. This gave Qi Yan a strange feeling of reporting to someone. He swallowed hard and looked towards the direction of the reinforcements. Shan Song had anticipated this. He turned Tong Zhao's head around, pressed it against his shoulder, and rubbed his wife like he was rubbing two silly birds at home: "I'm talking about your wife. Why are you looking at my wife?"
Qi Yan: "..."
Tong Zhao nestled comfortably in Shan Song's arms, thinking to herself: There's nothing I can do, little brother.
Qi Yan was speechless and could only turn to his elder brother: "It's been fine, we haven't argued much these past few days."
Qi Changzhou narrowed his eyes: "So, did you argue or not?"
"We did have a few arguments." Qi Yan actually thought it was a good thing. He and Luan Yining hadn't argued about anything for a long time. Luan Yining's emotions were becoming more and more indifferent, making him feel like he was losing control of him.
When Luan Yining gave him emotional feedback recently, Qi Yan's anger, which had risen to halfway, almost came to an abrupt halt, and he nearly shed tears.
Qi Changzhou was completely bewildered by his inexplicable smile mixed with tears: "You're still so proud even when you're arguing with your wife?"
Shan Song quipped, "What's wrong with your eyes? He's clearly been scolded to tears by his wife."
"What kind of look is that? How can you laugh when you're being scolded?" Qi Changzhou asked suspiciously, "Did you get a good time being scolded?"
"..." Qi Yan opened his mouth, but didn't say anything.
Shan Song: "It seems so."
Tong Zhao had already crawled out of Shan Song's arms and covered Shan Song's mouth, which was about to be sarcastic: "We haven't switched to our way of getting along yet, which is understandable."
Qi Yan was able to escape from being "played" and gave Tong Zhao a grateful look: "I'll go back and talk to Luan Yining about the variety show first. Goodbye, sister-in-law."
"You haven't told Professor Luan yet?" Qi Changzhou asked, puzzled. Shouldn't he have told him already?
Qi Yan looked embarrassed; he didn't dare to speak directly to Luan Yining.
A few days ago, he took the opportunity to casually mention the variety show a few times while chatting about work. It seemed that Luan Yining was not too opposed to it, but she still couldn't bring herself to say it and hesitated until now.
The variety show is already in preparation, so we can't delay any longer; we have no choice but to bite the bullet and go ahead with it...
Shan Song saw through the kid and shook his head: "Let him do whatever he wants. I've said everything I need to say. It's his own love life."
Qi Changzhou clicked his tongue and waved his hand from palm to outside: "Get lost."
Having received permission, Qi Yan quickly left, fearing that Qi Changzhou would call him back again.
Tong Zhao watched Qi Yan's figure disappear around the corner and asked with some confusion, "He seems to respect his elder brother quite a bit. Why did Brother Qi say he was being reckless before?"
Qi Changzhou and Shan Song exchanged a smile.
"Sister-in-law, guess why my mom made me keep an eye on Qi Yan?"
"Because Brother Qi is the eldest brother? Qi Yan admires his eldest brother and listens to him?"
Dan Song shook his head and whispered, "Because your brother Qi inherited Aunt Qi's excellent bloodline, he might really hit you if he gets angry."
"!" Tong Zhao reacted for a moment: "But Qi Yan doesn't seem like someone who can be beaten into submission."
“You still have your husband,” Qi Changzhou said matter-of-factly.
Tong Zhao turned to look at Shan Song, who nodded slightly with a smile on his lips: "I'll take care of the psychological blows."
Wow, that's terrible!
"Qi Yan is quite tenacious."
"But what my sister-in-law said has reminded me. So this kid only knows how to act recklessly towards his wife, right? I'll find an excuse to give him a good beating later." Qi Changzhou got angrier and angrier. This kid has completely forgotten the Qi family's rules.
Dan Song pondered for a moment: "You know what, all the stupid things he did were actually related to Luan Yining."
"What?" Tong Zhao asked curiously, tilting her head back with her eyes shining with a strong "I want to hear the gossip" light.
Dan Song smiled and leaned down to kiss his wife's cheek: "Let me think... more than a year ago, Qi Yan ruined the engagement party of the eldest son of a metallurgical businessman in the industry."
"Why?" Tong Zhao asked in surprise.
Qi Changzhou asked, "What was it that Qi Yan and his wife argued about back then?"
"Because Luan Yining doesn't like these kinds of social occasions within the circle, but Qi Yan especially liked to take his Professor Luan around to show off when he first got married," Shan Song said.
Qi Changzhou nodded in agreement, "Yes, Ning is rather averse to this kind of thing, unless it's a family dinner or with close friends."
Back then, Qi Changzhou was at his busiest, and he only heard about his family's affairs later. Shan Song knew more about them.
As Shan Song recalled, he said, "That time, I should have dragged Luan Yining along, but Luan Yining hadn't agreed beforehand. I don't know how the two of them discussed it, but they still went. Later, they had a fight at the banquet, and Qi Yan separated from him for a while. During that time, the second son of the main family went to flirt with Luan Yining, and Shan Song happened to catch him."
Qi Changzhou sighed helplessly; he knew his younger brother's mental state without even thinking about it.
“That guy had been arguing with his wife and had nowhere to vent his anger. Even Luan Yining couldn’t stop him. It caused quite a stir at the time, and the Qi family suppressed it on the trending topics for a long time. But since there was a reason for it, my mother didn’t blame him too much. However, she stopped letting him attend other people’s engagement parties after that.”
Qi Changzhou glanced at Tong Zhao and said, "This is just one of them. Anything involving Luan Yining is irrational. That's why I was sent to keep an eye on things when you and Shan Song got married. If anyone says something wrong, he won't care whose wedding it is."
"I see," Tong Zhao nodded.
Shan Song sneered, "If he dares, I'd have a hard time not beating him up."
Qi Changzhou laughed: "That's right, I went there to save this kid's life. If I messed things up, I wouldn't stop Song Ge from beating him up."
"Isn't this a form of psychological attack?" Tong Zhao asked in a low voice.
“We can also play mixed doubles occasionally.” Shan Song stroked Tong Zhao’s hair: “I could easily beat him by myself.”
Tong Zhao lowered her voice even further: "So you can't beat Brother Qi?"
"..." Shan Song stared at his wife, whose face was beaming with delight at discovering something new, his expression a half-smile: "Hmm?"
Tong Zhao shut up: "Let me ask."
Qi Changzhou laughed heartily from the side: "Hahaha, finally your wife is disgusted with you!!"
He didn't! Don't talk nonsense! Tong Zhao turned her head left and right, but couldn't cover Qi Changzhou's mouth. Seeing that Shan Song's expression was becoming more and more subtle, she felt that she was doomed tonight.
