Mr. Qi yawned and asked, "Daughter, where did you go? Why didn't you tell your dad before you left?"
When Qi's father waited for his daughter to come back, he simply waited for her to return. Any questioning or anything like that was done by his second son, who had brainwashed him.
For example:
You might become a grandfather next year!
"You've had your daughter married for 360 out of 365 days a year, and you might not see her for 360 of them!"
'The road a daughter travels back to her parents' home is the longest road!'
'Your daughter is being mistreated at her in-laws' house...'
Blah blah blah, Qi Siyi brainwashed his father with a whole bunch of nonsense.
Having been successfully brainwashed, Mr. Qi sensed the danger and, yawning incessantly, waited with the group of boys.
Ning Qiluo honestly confessed, "I went to deliver food to Jiang Yingchi."
“It’s not like he’s starving. It’s alright during the day, but you rushed off so late at night and didn’t come back until now. Do you know how worried we were about you?” It was Qi Siyi who spoke.
Ning Qiluo looked at Qi Siyi and said in a weak voice, "I'm his girlfriend, so I think I should care about him."
Qi Zhufeng: "Yes, that makes sense."
Qi Siyi glanced at Qi Zhufeng: "What's the reasoning behind this?"
Qi Zhufeng changed the subject: "What I mean is, this logic doesn't hold true."
Ning Qiluo: "..."
Next, Mr. Qi asked, "Then why did you come back so late?"
"Have dinner with him." Ning Qiluo's voice grew softer and softer.
Before Qi's father could say anything, Qi Siyi spoke up first: "Give me a break, you're not even attending the Peach Banquet!"
Ning Qilu pouted, then pouted again, her expression clearly showing signs of tears. She looked at Qi Xiangchen with pleading eyes and said aggrievedly, "Fourth Brother, my feet hurt."
If someone says their feet hurt, that's a disaster!
Qi Xiangchen immediately stepped forward, his eyes full of worry: "Does it hurt a lot?"
Everyone stared at Ning Qiluo.
It was all an act.
As a result, neither going up nor down the steps was an option.
She's having such a hard time...
Just as she was inwardly groaning, Qi Xiangchen had already picked her up in his arms. Qi's father looked anxious: "Hurry up, hurry up, back to the room, back to the room, take Luo Luo back to her room." In his anxiety, he didn't forget to call out to Qi Siyi: "It's all your fault, you brat, hurry up and get a cold towel."
Qi Siyi was stunned for a moment, but his reaction was quick.
Just as he was about to grab it, Qi Zhufeng stopped him and reminded him, "Second Brother, don't use ice, just use regular cold water."
Qi Siyi nodded, indicating that he understood.
...
After all that fuss, Ning Qiluo felt so guilty that she... had already fallen fast asleep.
She was sleeping so soundly.
The four men standing by the bed looked at each other, bewildered.
Qi Xiangchen covered Ning Qiluo with a blanket, Qi Siyi was still holding a cold towel, Qi Zhufeng stood by the bed, and Qi's father said, "Let's go, don't disturb Luoluo's rest."
After all that fuss, Qi Siyi finally understood: "This girl truly lives up to her reputation in the entertainment industry; her acting skills come naturally to her."
Qi Zhufeng interrupted, "This isn't acting, it's just feeling sorry for someone else; would you believe it if it were anyone else? You wouldn't even glance at them."
Qi Siyi: "That's true."
but……
Qi Siyi remarked, "Luo Luo's clothes are different from what she wore when she went out, didn't you guys notice? I was just thinking, Jiang Yingchi, he... ugh..."
Before he could finish speaking, his ear was grabbed by Qi's father. "You brat, you better stay out of other people's business from now on."
Qi Siyi cried out in pain, but Qi Zhufeng immediately covered his mouth, and the sound disappeared.
Ning Qiluo simply turned over, while everyone else stood motionless.
Qi Xiangchen: "Let's go, watch your step."
So, the four men, half-tip-heeled, left Ning Qiluo's bedroom one by one.
