Chapter 8 I'm coming to pick you up
Qi Chenyan had just put down his phone when he saw his wife running towards him.
There are no traffic lights from the TV station to the parking lot across the street, and cars are constantly flowing on the road.
Crossing the road like that, even with a zebra crossing, is still too dangerous.
Qi Chenyan frowned, opened the door, and came downstairs.
Yu Li had just reached the zebra crossing and hadn't even crossed when her phone rang.
Looking down, I saw that it was Qi Chenyan calling.
He's already on the other side, why would he need to make a phone call?
Yu Li answered the phone curiously, and a clear, melodious male voice came from the other end: "Stand still and don't move."
Before Yu Li could react to why the other person wanted her to stand still, she looked up and her gaze froze.
The man was tall and slender, wearing a knee-length black trench coat over a plaid shirt, black trousers, and custom-made leather shoes.
With a back as straight as a pine tree and feet as swift as the wind, coupled with his exceptionally handsome face, he transformed even the most ordinary zebra crossing into a runway-like spectacle.
This reminded Yu Li of when she used to surf the internet and saw netizens gushing over Qi Chenyan's appearance, saying that he had the air of a noble young master carefully cultivated by an ancient aristocratic family.
Every gesture he made exuded the refined elegance of the Wei and Jin dynasties.
However, Qi Chenyan's legs were too long. Before Yu Li could react, he had already crossed the zebra crossing and arrived in front of her.
Yu Li couldn't help but feel a pang of regret; she had been so engrossed in watching that she had forgotten to take a picture!
Why did you get off the bus? I can come find you.
Qi Chenyan's gaze fell on her, it was indifferent, but it revealed a hint of disapproval.
"No matter what you do in the future, don't be too hasty, and don't run away. You're not alone now, you know?"
Yu Li blinked.
Did he specifically get out of the car to come over just to say this?
Before Yu Li could respond, Qi Chenyan reached out and grasped her wrist.
The man's fingers were long and large, and one hand could encircle both of her wrists.
But he was very gentlemanly and didn't hold it completely, but only half-held it.
However, the contact between the warm fingertips and the skin of her wrist felt like an electric current, making Yu Li freeze and forget to react.
By the time she came to her senses, Qi Chenyan had already led her across the road.
The man was very considerate; he opened the car door and gestured for the passenger to get in.
Yu Li's ears felt inexplicably hot. She thanked him and quickly got into the car.
Qi Chenyan followed behind unhurriedly.
Once in the car, Yu Li touched her earlobe, trying to cover up her actions.
"Well, actually I'm in pretty good physical condition. Even though it's been a month, I don't feel anything. You don't need to be too nervous."
Qi Chenyan's gaze fell on her.
It's been almost a week since I last saw my wife, and she's still the same beautiful woman with a distinct Jiangnan charm, just like when we got our marriage certificate.
Her skin was like jade, her lips were red and her teeth were white, and especially her eyes, which were as clear as autumn water, were lively and bright, like the brightest star in the night sky.
Since she wasn't showing yet, she wore a forest green round-neck knit sweater with high-waisted trousers, and a brown belt that accentuated her incredibly slim waist.
A quintessential urban chic style.
Qi Chenyan didn't refute her words, but instead hummed in agreement before asking, "Which hospital did you book?"
"The First People's Hospital, Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology."
Qi Chenyan glanced at the driver, who immediately navigated to the hospital.
But in reality, the driver's gossipy nature was about to burst into flames.
When did the director get married?
And they have a child?
The leaders who were previously on good terms with the director all said that he was too cold and indifferent, and that he was completely ruthless and indifferent to family matters, except for his work.
Many outstanding women were introduced to him, but the director refused to meet any of them.
As a result, many people worry that Qi Chenyan will be locked into his work and grow old alone.
Unexpectedly, the director, who had been silent all along, suddenly made a move and now has a wife and children, a warm bed, and everything he needs!
"Didn't we agree to meet at the hospital? Actually, you didn't need to come all the way to pick me up; I have a car."
Qi Chenyan said in a calm tone, "I just got off the plane and didn't have time to drive myself. I was afraid of keeping you waiting, so I just came directly here."
Yu Li said "Oh," and thought, "I must say, this man looks frigid, but he's actually quite considerate and thoughtful, which is a plus."
"Did I ask you to come with me to my prenatal checkup? Did that disturb your work?"
Qi Chenyan shook his head, his tone like Shen Jin's: "Work is important, but accompanying your wife to prenatal checkups is equally important."
"Didn't you say that accompanying your child to register for medical records is a special and sacred thing?"
Yu Li almost choked on her own saliva.
How could he say such a tender and ambiguous word as "wife" so seriously, without feeling the slightest bit ashamed?
It's worth noting that when Yu Li sent him a message, the first two "husbands" she typed were something she had mentally prepared for a long time before typing them.
A slender, jade-like hand held a bottle of mineral water and handed it to her.
Yu Li accepted the drink, thanked the man, and tried to cover up her embarrassment by drinking water.
As the car started moving, the assistant at the TV station across the street happened to see Yu Li get into the car through the glass window.
"Look quickly, Yue! Yu Li has gotten into an official car. That car looks like more than just an ordinary official car. When did Yu Li meet such an important person?"
Because it was too far away, the license plate was not visible, but the appearance of the car showed that it was different from ordinary official vehicles; it was the kind that was low-key yet still distinguished.
When Qi Jianyue looked over, she could only see the rear of the car, but she vaguely felt that it looked familiar.
"No wonder she's so calm. It seems she's managed to climb the social ladder by clinging to some minor official. She thinks that someone as lowly as Qi Chenyan can get in touch with such a big shot. What a pipe dream."
The follower was also misled by Qi Jianyue's words, "I thought she had really climbed up to some big shot, but now it seems that she knows time is running out and is starting to grasp at straws in desperation."
"Let's just wait and see her make a fool of herself."

After parking the car, Qi Chenyan was about to get out when a soft, fair hand grabbed his arm.
Qi Chenyan looked down.
As if by magic, Yu Li produced a face mask.
"Director Qi, do you really have no idea about your national influence?"
"Do you believe that if you showed up at the OB-GYN with your bare face like that, it would be all over the trending topics that day? Don't blame me when your marriage is announced."
Qi Chenyan took the mask and curled his lips slightly. "It was my oversight."
His attitude in admitting his mistakes was also very good; he wasn't the kind of person who would act arrogantly or spout grand principles just because of his status, which is a plus.
After Qi Chenyan put on his mask, Yu Li suddenly moved closer.
"Wait a moment."
She reached out and cupped Qi Chenyan's face in her hands.
A woman's fingertips are much softer than a man's.
The soft touch made Qi Chenyan stop moving, his back stiffening for a moment.
