Chapter 39: Forgetting Friends When Seeing Sex
Tan Mo raised his hand and said, "Has anyone considered what if it's not on my way?"
Qi Chenyan's words were utterly devastating: "You're already here. Where else would you go if it weren't on your way? I asked you to run an errand, why are you making such a fuss?"
Yu Li felt sorry for Tan Mo, so she poked her head out from behind Qi Chenyan and said, "We'll pay you for running the errand."
Tan Mo was also amused by Yu Li's little actions and expressions.
Of course, a rich young master like him is not short of money at all. In short, those who hang out with Qi Chenyan are all either rich or noble.
"Sister-in-law is so generous. Shen Yan, look at you, so stingy. Luckily you married such a good woman, otherwise what woman would want to marry you?"
Yu Li was amused. The only ones who could tease Qi Chenyan like that were his brothers who grew up with him.
After all, if even a man like Qi Chenyan, who is hailed by netizens as the "King of Gu" among men, has no women who want him, then most men in the world would probably be single forever.
Yu Li grinned from ear to ear, deliberately teasing Qi Chenyan: "Did you hear what your brother said?"
Qi Chenyan followed her words and said, "There's nothing I can do. My wife has all my cards, so I naturally have to be a little frugal."
Yu Li was just joking, but she didn't expect Qi Chenyan to actually take the conversation.
He even said that his wife manages all the money, a statement that almost made Yu Li choke on her saliva. She gave him a reproachful glare.
What nonsense are you spouting!
"So it turns out that my sister-in-law is in charge of the accounts at home? Yes, yes, it should be my sister-in-law who manages them. She has given birth to Shen Yan's children and taken care of the household. She has done a great job."
"Moreover, Shen Yan is often traveling all over the world and is never home. He can take care of his work but not his wife. An irresponsible husband like this should be made to bleed money. Otherwise, what's the point of earning so much money?"
As he spoke, Tan Mo leaned closer and whispered to Yu Li, "Sister-in-law, let me tell you a secret, Shen Yan is really rich. Besides the money he gave you, he must have a lot of money hidden away."
"We must keep a close eye on him, otherwise, with that face that attracts bees and butterflies, there are plenty of women out there who are like wolves and tigers. If we restrict his financial freedom, he won't even have the chance to treat those wildflowers to a cup of milk tea."
“Those beautiful women must have run away with their shoes after seeing how poor he was.”
Yu Li was amused by the performance.
Although Qi Chenyan didn't hear clearly what Tan Mo whispered to Yu Li, he noticed that Tan Mo was so close to his wife and was even whispering in her ear in front of him.
He grabbed Tan Mo by the back of the neck and lifted him aside.
"Talk is talk, but who gave you permission to stand this close? Don't you remember the difference between men and women?"
Tsk, I didn't expect Qi Chenyan to be such a petty and jealous guy.
He got jealous just because they whispered a few words to each other?
Yu Li went to get her bag to leave, and Tan Mo took the opportunity to complain: "Bro, I can tell now, you're doomed, you've completely fallen in love."
"Your speed in falling in love after marriage is a bit too fast, isn't it? But although you haven't known your sister-in-law for long, she has a really nice personality."
"Although she can't be considered one of the most stunning beauties in the entertainment industry, she is still pretty and looks like a gentle, virtuous, and family-oriented woman, suitable to marry."
Unexpectedly, before she could finish speaking, she was met with the back of Qi Chenyan's head.
Qi Chenyan abandoned the gentleness he had shown when facing Yu Li, his expression darkening. The imposing aura he had cultivated in his high position vanished in an instant, leaving him dignified and awe-inspiring.
"You are not allowed to say such things again, whether in front of me or anywhere else."
"She was an independent individual before she became my wife. Even if she hadn't married me, it wouldn't have changed the fact that she was an excellent woman, and it certainly wouldn't have changed because she married me."
Qi Chenyan's gaze was sharp, carrying a threatening warning: "Do you understand?"
Perhaps for many wealthy families, the ideal is to find a beautiful, gentle, family-oriented, and virtuous wife, marry her, and then have her stay at home as a full-time housewife.
Most wealthy people would spend money in various ways to marry a lucky charm.
But Qi Chenyan never cared about such things; otherwise, given his circumstances, he wouldn't have gotten married so late in life.
Qi Chenyan clearly understood that even if Yu Li didn't marry him, she could still live a good life because she was an outstanding person with a strong inner core.
"Damn, you really went all out! You've forgotten your brothers now that you have a wife, and you're a womanizer who forgets his friends. Just you wait, once I'm out of the single life, I'll show off too!"
Qi Chenyan gave a forced smile and said, "Is that so? Maybe in the next life."
Tan Mo: "..."
I originally thought that even though Qi Chenyan had changed his gender after getting married, he was still the same person who could poison people with a single lick of his lips.
Just then, Yu Li came downstairs with her bag, and Tan Mo immediately complained to her.
"Sister-in-law, Shen Yan is going too far! He beats me up all the time. Look, he even threatens me with his eyes! Sister-in-law, you have to do something about him!"
Yu Li looked at Qi Chenyan and said, "Dr. Tan came to my house to treat me. He is our guest, and we should be polite to our guests."
Qi Chenyan withdrew his death stare from Tan Mo, not only refuting Yu Li's words but also defending himself: "I didn't threaten him."
Oh ho, Qi Chenyan, who has always regarded everyone as a foolish mortal since childhood and treated everyone the same, has been questioned. Instead of retorting and poisoning the other party, he insists that he is innocent.
So it's true that marriage can make people troublesome?
Tan Mo felt terrified and couldn't help but shudder.
Unexpectedly, Yu Li turned to Tan Mo and said, "Shen Yan invited you, Dr. Tan, so early in the morning because he was worried about me. It's really too much trouble."
"When we have some free time another day, my husband and I will treat you to a meal, okay?"
With just a few words, Yu Li not only resolved the conflict, but also warmed the hearts of those who heard her.
Tan Mo grinned from ear to ear: "Sister-in-law, you're too kind. You really have a good relationship. If you don't mind, I'll invite a few more of my buddies. They're all my good buddies who grew up with Shen Yan."
"If we all get to know each other better, we can take good care of your sister-in-law if we see her in public, right?"
The fact that Tan Mo, a wealthy young man, would willingly offer to take care of her indicates that the other party considers her one of their own.
For those who want to get along in high society, the most important thing is connections.
Clearly, Qi Chenyan is surrounded by top-tier connections, and for Yu Li, making more acquaintances with him would only bring benefits, not harm.
However, Yu Li did not agree directly, but instead said tactfully, "When Shen Yan and I are both free, we will treat everyone to a meal."
Qi Chenyan did not deny Yu Li's words at all, but Tan Mo, who has always been a big mouth, immediately spread the news in the group chat.
"Everyone, perk up! We're going to make a killing out of Chen Yan this time. After all, he's brought his wife along, and we'll have to make sure he pays a hefty price for their public display of affection!"
