Chapter 218 Trying to Make Amends
Yu Li raised an eyebrow, feeling somewhat uncomfortable, so she asked frankly, "Didn't you call back?"
“If she really has something to do, she will call again. Besides, I am not her family. If she really has something to do, she should contact her family, not me.”
Whether at work or in life, Qi Chenyan has always had a strong sense of boundaries.
After all, someone with his qualifications, if he had no sense of boundaries and accepted everyone, would have long since become a rotten cucumber among countless women.
Yu Li smiled again.
She has always been like this; when it comes to people she cares about, she will ask them directly without hiding anything from them.
Having asked him directly and Qi Chenyan explained things frankly and openly, Yu Li naturally believed him and absolutely trusted his character.
After all, if Qi Chenyan really had something going on with Tang Shi, then the position of Mrs. Qi would have already belonged to someone else.
Moreover, judging from Tang Shi's actions as soon as she entered the door, which seemed like a declaration of sovereignty, it made it seem like Tang Shi lacked confidence and was therefore so eager to show the difference between her and Qi Chenyan in front of Yu Li.
Tang Shi probably miscalculated. Yu Li was indeed a little unhappy at first, but once she was unhappy, she would just say it directly and ask directly.
Once the conflict is resolved, the problem disappears, and there's nothing left to dwell on.
"Do you feel offended by my question?"
Yu Li has this kind of personality; she's so direct with the people she cares about.
However, she was also a little worried, after all, her relationship with Qi Chenyan was built on the foundation of complete unfamiliarity, and they had gradually become familiar with each other.
Qi Chenyan chuckled and sighed, taking her hand in his and gently stroking her cheek with his other large hand.
The man's palm was large and broad, almost completely covering Yu Li's face.
“Lili, this is also my first time getting married and my first time running a little home of our own. In the process, I am afraid that I may do something wrong or inappropriate.”
"You can ask me directly because you trust me. What I'm afraid of is that you keep everything on your mind. Not only is it not conducive to solving problems, but more importantly, it's easy for you to get sick from bottling it up."
His tone was as gentle as a spring breeze, just like his frank and open-minded way of doing things: "So I sincerely hope that you can be like this now and in the future."
"If you have a problem, ask me. If you feel unhappy, tell me. If I made a mistake, I will correct it immediately. If I did something wrong, I will do my best to make up for it."
Yu Li not only felt no discomfort, but also felt a warm feeling in her heart, like flowers blooming one after another after a spring breeze.
So, Yu Li suddenly stood on tiptoe, intending to kiss her cheek, but she clearly overestimated her height.
It pecked at Qi Chenyan's chin like a chick pecking at rice.
You are wonderful in every way.
After making this comment, Yu Li blushed and covered her face as she walked away, saying, "Your friends are still downstairs, let's go down quickly too."
Qi Chenyan stood there for several seconds, then raised his hand to touch his chin, where there seemed to be still traces of his wife's soft lip print and lingering warmth.
When we returned to the garden, the preparations were almost complete.
Qi Chenyan and Yu Li naturally sat in the host's seats, with Qi Chenyan on the left and Yu Li on his right.
This leaves the seat to Qi Chenyan's left empty.
Just as Tang Shi took a step, Qi Xi appeared in a flash and plopped down in that spot.
Then, he quickly winked at Yu Li.
Sisters, fly high! My best friend will always be with you. I'll be there to protect your happy marriage!
"Why hasn't Zhouzhou arrived yet?"
Everyone else had arrived except for Zhou Heran.
Not to mention the others who were puzzled, Qi Xi had looked towards the door more than once.
Qi Chenyan said calmly, "He just said there was a problem on the way and he will be late. There's no need to wait for him."
They're all brothers, so there aren't many rules or restrictions. If someone is late, they just have to punish themselves three times over. That's how they've always treated each other.
But upon hearing this, Qi Xi blurted out, "Something went wrong? Could it be some kind of accident?"
Yu Li smiled and said, "Don't worry, it won't be any accident, otherwise he would have said he wasn't coming, instead of arriving late."
Qi Xi was slightly relieved.
Qi Chenyan turned his head and introduced Yu Li first: "Lili, you already know Tan Mo."
This was when he formally introduced his brother to her.
Yu Li nodded, "Thankfully, Dr. Tan has been here these past few days. My husband and I toast you with this glass."
This is absolutely true. Yu Li and Qi Chenyan were both first-time parents, and when they encountered unexpected situations, they were completely flustered.
Fortunately, Tan Mo was there to cover for them, so everything went smoothly and nothing serious happened.
When Yu Li and Qi Chenyan both raised their glasses, Tan Mo was so flattered that he even stood up with his glass in hand.
"Sister-in-law, you're too kind. I'll drink this first as a sign of respect. You can drink as you like, but Lao Qi must finish it all."
Besides Yu Li, even Qi Xi drank beer today.
After all, a dinner party includes a barbecue, and the atmosphere wouldn't be complete without some drinks.
Qi Chenyan was also quite decisive, drinking the entire cup of wine in one gulp.
Yu Li couldn't help but worry, so she turned her head and whispered to him, "How's your alcohol tolerance? If you're not a big drinker, do you want to take some hangover medicine first?"
Qi Chenyan placed his large hand on the back of her hand, turned his face, and his thin lips almost touched her ear.
"It's alright, I can hold my liquor pretty well, but if I accidentally get drunk, Mrs. Qi, please don't look down on me for being a drunkard."
The man's deep, resonant voice, with its unique charm, made Yu Li's ears burn slightly.
"This is Shao Yuke. His family is in real estate, but he's currently a professional race car driver."
Yu Li nodded. "Mr. Shao won the championship at the global rally a month ago, right? This belated congratulations isn't too late, is it?"
Shao Yuke's eyes lit up instantly. "Sister-in-law actually knows me? I didn't expect Lao Qi to introduce me beforehand. I'm truly honored."
But Qi Chenyan denied it: "I didn't introduce myself beforehand, I only said that I have a few brothers."
"I work in journalism, and because I've been doing an interview program recently, I usually pay attention to leaders in various industries."
Shao Yuke smiled broadly at the compliment, "It's just a hobby, nothing special. You flatter me, sister-in-law. I'll drink this glass, sister-in-law, please feel free to drink as you like."
Then he added, "Old Qi, you must have saved the galaxy in your past life to marry such a wonderful wife. You absolutely have to finish this glass of wine!"
