Chapter 117 Both Men and Women Are Good
Then, unsurprisingly, Tan Mo received a slap on the back.
Tan Mo angrily denounced: "Tyrant!"
Qi Chenyan gave him a cold glance.
Tan Mo, looking rather pathetic, even helped him pull out his chair.
But he muttered to himself, "Just you wait, I'm going to take this to your wife and let her teach you a lesson."
Qi Chenyan's attention was still on the report, so he didn't hear it clearly. He only caught the other person's mutterings and glanced up.
"What did you say?"
Tan Mo immediately switched expressions: "If you don't understand, feel free to ask me anytime. I guarantee I'll be on call 24/7 to serve Director Qi!"
After confirming that all indicators were normal, Qi Chenyan asked about the follow-up care: "What should I pay attention to when recuperating at home after being discharged from the hospital tomorrow?"
"What can I eat, and what can't I touch? Do I have to lie down all the time and not move around at all except for washing up?"
Qi Chenyan asked about everything in great detail. Because he asked too many questions at once, Tan Mo found it too long to answer them one by one, so she simply made a list on the computer and printed it out.
"Please accept this, Director Qi. How was my service? Are you satisfied with it? Would you give it a perfect score?"
Qi Chenyan took the list and read it from beginning to end, uttering two words: "Five points".
Tan Mo asked in disbelief, "Why isn't there even a passing grade?"
“If you had stayed another night in Panxi Village instead of rushing back, my wife wouldn’t have been so worried the whole way, and we wouldn’t have wasted two and a half hours on the road.”
"So all things considered, the reason I didn't give you a negative score as your 24/7 family doctor is because we're brothers."
Tan Mo gritted his teeth: "You heartless, exploitative Zhou Bapi!"
He sacrificed his only day off, traveling thousands of miles to the countryside, just because Qi Chenyan said his wife was suffering from severe morning sickness and couldn't eat.
Even on the last day of rest, he still tried to exploit people. I've never seen such an inhuman capitalist!
Of course, these are just jokes that the brothers often make.
Qi Chenyan patted his shoulder, "Thanks anyway."
Tan Mo switched expressions in a second, grinning and showing his teeth: "Look how polite you are. With our friendship, I wouldn't even bat an eye for Director Qi going through fire and water for him."
"Of course, if the child is born smoothly and can call me godfather, I, as the godfather, will unconditionally dedicate all my days off to my godson!"
Qi Chenyan raised an eyebrow, "It's not even been three months yet, how can you be sure it's a son?"
Tan Mo chuckled: "I was just saying it offhand, but Lao Qi, you don't actually have feudalistic ideas and prefer sons to daughters, do you?"
Qi Chenyan gave him a look as if he were an idiot.
"Boy or girl, I'd prefer a girl."
Tan Mo: "Why?"
"I hope it will look more like my wife."
If her personality were more like Yu Li's, she would definitely be very lively, cheerful, cute, and charming.
Director Qi was completely unaware that he was now using an increasingly varied vocabulary to describe his new wife, and he even felt that this was how it should be.
Tan Mo immediately covered one side of her face, "This stench of love is making my cavities hurt again."

The next day, when Qi Chenyan woke up, Yu Li was still fast asleep.
He took his phone and tiptoed out of the ward.
He first called his secretary to ask where he was.
That's right. Last night, Qi Chenyan had already called his secretary in advance, asking him to set off for Panxi Village before dawn the next day.
The secretary had just arrived at her grandmother's house when she answered the phone.
Just then, Grandma Zhou got up and noticed that Yu Li's room was open, but there was no one inside.
Grandma was initially puzzled. It wasn't surprising that Qi Chenyan got up early, but why would her granddaughter, who had always loved to stay in bed, get up so early?
Just as Grandma was thinking that the sun had risen in the west, there was a knock on the door downstairs.
"Hello, my name is Chen Cheng, and I am Director Qi's secretary."
Grandma was confused: "Who is Director Qi? Young man, have you come to the wrong place?"
The secretary explained, "It's Qi Chenyan. I'm his subordinate."
Upon hearing Qi Chenyan's name, Grandma immediately smiled: "Oh, it's Xiao Yan! Are you here to see Xiao Yan? He wasn't in his room this morning, and Lili wasn't there either. They probably went out for a walk?"
"It's like this, the director and his wife had something come up this morning, so they went back to the city first. But they didn't have time to pack their clothes, so they asked me to come and help them pack them so they can take them back with them."
Grandma understood, and while leading the secretary upstairs, she asked, "What urgent matter did Lili and Xiaoyan have? They didn't even say goodbye to me, and they didn't even have time to pack their luggage before going back?"
The secretary readily complied with the prepared lie, saying, "I had some very important work to attend to, so I left in a hurry. Please wait a moment, the director wants to explain the situation to you personally."
As she spoke, the secretary dialed Qi Chenyan's number and handed it to her grandmother.
"Xiao Yan, you've already returned to the city? You left in such a hurry. I even prepared some local specialties for you, but you haven't brought them back yet."
On the other end of the phone, Qi Chenyan patiently explained, "I'm sorry, Grandma, Lili and I both have urgent work to attend to, so we have to go ahead."
"You can give the local specialties to my secretary and have him bring them over. We'll come back to see you and apologize when we're done with our work."
Grandma said, "No need, no need. I know you young people are all busy with work. You just go about your business. I'll have your secretary pack your things for you right away."
Upon hearing Qi Chenyan's voice, the wet nurse, who had initially been somewhat skeptical, quickly came to believe his words and instructed her secretary to bring along her luggage and local specialties.

After settling things with his grandmother and confirming with Tan Mo again, Qi Chenyan completed his discharge procedures. When he returned, Yu Li had already woken up.
"Have you had enough sleep? If not, we'll go home and continue sleeping."
Upon hearing that she could go home, Yu Li's eyes immediately lit up. "I can go home right now?"
Qi Chenyan hummed in agreement: "It wasn't anything serious to begin with. I just need to go home and rest for a week."
As he spoke, Qi Chenyan walked to the bedside and stretched out his hands to Yu Li.
Yu Li was still a little dazed. She blinked, tilted her head, and asked, "What's wrong?"
"You can't move around too much right now, I'll carry you downstairs and we'll go home."
Yu Li blushed slightly. "With so many people coming and going, won't this attract too much attention? Or could you please bring me a wheelchair?"
“We’ll take the private elevator, don’t worry, not many people will see us. And if you’re worried about being seen, just bury your head in my lap, that way people will only see me, okay?”
Yu Li hooked her arm around Qi Chenyan's neck, "Then we'll have to trouble our Director Qi."
