Chapter 354 The Four of Us
Yan Anli, dressed in military uniform and holding a military cap, arrived shortly after him, overhearing their conversation. A sudden, uncontrollable pang of pain shot through his heart, which he quickly suppressed.
She took the water cup from Qi Bai and whispered, "Thank you." Then she took small sips of the water without any other reaction.
Qi Bai, however, didn't leave and said to him, "Brother Yan, I just went to check on the children. They're all sleeping. Butler Yan is watching over them, so you can rest assured!"
Yan Anli looked up at him, then nodded and said, "Okay, thank you."
Feeling she might have been too cold, she added, "Thank you for taking care of things at home and with the kids these past few days."
He then flipped his hand and took out an energy box. "This is the Jin family's latest energy conditioning agent. You should use it before you advance in your level; it will benefit your advancement," he said, handing it over.
Qi Bai paused for a moment, then said cheerfully, "Brother Yan, we're family, no need to be so polite. Taking care of the family is my duty."
"Take it." Yan Anli's words were concise and cold, causing the atmosphere to freeze instantly.
Bo Chuan glanced at the box and said, "Just take it. You've really had a hard time these past few days."
Qi Bai glanced at Bo Chuan, then looked back at Qi Bai and said with a smile, "Then I thank Brother Yan."
Qi Bai put the things into his spatial storage and began to set out breakfast.
Lou Xiaoyu curled her lip inwardly with disdain. The online reviews were utter nonsense. Everyone said that Yan Anli was dull, rigid, and inflexible, but now it seems he's just a scheming man.
He rested his arm on the table, propped his chin up with it, and pondered blankly. He couldn't compare to Bo Chuan, the first husband; he couldn't compare to Yan Anli, the deep-thinking man; and he couldn't compare to Chen Xingheng, the first love and white moonlight.
Now there's this super simp of Zeppelin, and I can't even compare to him. These guys are trying to kill me in this house!
Then he stroked his cheek with his fingers, "Fortunately, my face is one of the best in the entire intergalactic world. I must protect this only advantage."
As he was muttering to himself, a breakfast was placed in front of her.
Immediately afterwards, Qi Bai's voice rang out, "Brother Xiaoyu, here's your breakfast."
"You've worked hard." The lazy voice, though its tone was pure, carried an air of arrogance.
"You're too kind, Brother Xiaoyu." His voice was cheerful and showed no other unusual tone. Qi Bai was indeed happy; the peace of mind he felt radiated joy.
"The auction is still a few days away. We should focus on consolidating our resources in the meantime. Has Qingqing mentioned any plans he has?"
Bo Chuan's first sentence was addressed to the other two people, and his last sentence was directed at Qi Bai.
"Qingqing wants to get back to Rank B before the auction starts, so she's purifying herself in the room right now." Qi Bai finished preparing a breakfast and was about to bring it to Gu Qing.
"Tell her to stop putting too much pressure on her. Let's not bother her for the next few days." After saying this, Bo Chuan glanced at the other three men.
Nodding in agreement was meaningless. After all, they still vividly remembered the scene of Gu Qing crying her heart out because of her drop in level.
As they finished eating, they quickly went to take care of their business. Qi Bai took the food to Gu Qing's room, knocked twice, and pushed the door open to go inside.
Gu Qing sat there with her eyes slightly closed, holding a non-attribute crystal core in her hand. The light leaking from between her fingers was flickering and then disappearing.
Gu Qing opened her eyes and poured the powder in her hand into a small box next to her. This was for cultivating planting soil.
"Qingqing should eat first, then purify. You don't need to push yourself too hard; our Qingqing is already very capable."
Qi Bai is four years older than Gu Qing, but he rarely speaks to her in this tone. Although he takes good care of Gu Qing in their daily interactions, his cheerful smile and dimpled face always give him a cute and innocent look.
Gu Qing washed her hands and pulled over the tray of food. "Don't worry, I'm used to this intensity, but I might have less time to take care of the child. I'll have to trouble you to look after him."
Qi Bai kissed her on the head. "It's what I should do. After you finish eating, I'll go and clean up the upgrade room for you."
Gu Qing looked up and kissed the corner of her mouth; she liked the attitude of these people.
Qi Bai's preparations paid off. Gu Qing leveled up the day before the auction began, but this time there were no rewards for the upgrade.
