Chapter 56 Male Fox Spirit
His teacher was not only his direct supervisor, but also the one who guided him onto the path of diplomacy.
The teacher always paid special attention to Qi Chenyan's affairs.
"My wife was feeling unwell, but she's fine now, so you don't need to worry."
The teacher sighed: "The people we feel most sorry for in this job are our families. Take good care of them. Don't rush back. Although I'm old, I can still manage for a couple of days."
In fact, the teacher was nearing retirement age, so over the years, he had been grooming Qi Chenyan as his successor.
Qi Chenyan has consistently delivered outstanding work performance and lived up to expectations.
This unexpected situation was the first time he had asked for leave halfway through his journey.
"I'm sorry to trouble you, teacher. I'll bring Lili to visit you and your wife when she's feeling better."
A hearty laugh came from the teacher on the other end of the phone: "You rascal, you've finally decided to bring someone over to show us?"
"Alright, alright, the time is set. I'll talk to your teacher's wife and ask her to cook a few more of her signature dishes. I promise she won't mistreat your hidden treasure."
When the teacher learned that Qi Chenyan was getting married, he said that he should find a time to let Qi Chenyan bring his people over to see the wedding.
However, Qi Chenyan declined, citing her busy work schedule, saying she would find time later.
He wouldn't even bring his own teacher along, isn't he treating her like a precious gem?
Qi Chenyan also laughed: "She's a bit shy, so you and your teacher's wife shouldn't tease her too much, just tease me instead."
The teacher was exasperated: "You've already slept together before you've even met the person. I was worried you were too young when you got married without a word. After all, married life is completely different from dating."
"As you spend time together, you will gradually discover each other's shortcomings. Whether a couple can tolerate each other's worst traits is the key to whether they can stay together."
"Your teacher and I were worried at first, but now it seems we were overthinking it. It seems you two are getting along well, so we can rest assured."
After exchanging a few words with the teacher, I ended the call.
But Qi Chenyan didn't rush to deal with the work. Instead, he asked his secretary to give him the contact information of several well-known designers.
He was so busy with work that he completely forgot about the most important thing, which was really wrong of him.

Yu Li is a bit picky about her bed, so she woke up early in the morning.
Unexpectedly, Qi Chenyan got up earlier than her and even bought breakfast.
"We'll have the doctor come back for another check-up later. If there are no problems, we'll discharge you and you can go home to recuperate."
Upon hearing that she would be discharged from the hospital soon, Yu Li's appetite improved considerably.
After I finished my breakfast, the doctor came over.
After the examination, and a few precautions were given regarding the pregnant woman's health, she was able to be discharged from the hospital.
Yu Li didn't bring much, but Qi Chenyan didn't let her touch anything, even her bag, which he took along with her.
Back at the seaside villa, Qi Chenyan busied himself with making sure she was settled in properly, and then his secretary arrived.
Yesterday, Qi Chenyan took a day off, which was already the limit for him, since he took leave from work.
However, the itinerary had already been arranged, and since they were all important national events, Qi Chenyan, as a key figure, could not be absent.
The teacher covered for him yesterday, but he has to attend several events today.
The secretary was trying to time things perfectly, wanting to give the director and his wife more time together, but there couldn't be any more delays, otherwise they would miss their schedule.
Qi Chenyan gave the housekeeper some more instructions. Yu Li felt that she was a bit like a fragile item, which was why Qi Chenyan was so careful.
"I'm fine now. If you don't believe me, I can perform a Thomas spiral jump for you right here..."
Before Yu Li could finish speaking, Qi Chenyan grabbed her hand.
The man chuckled and sighed, "I know, it's just that I'm a little worried. Besides, I don't want what happened that day to happen again. It's better to be more cautious."
"If you feel unwell at all, call me. If I can't reach you, call Xiao Chen. Don't try to tough it out on your own anymore, okay?"
Yu Li felt that the inch of skin where Qi Chenyan held her hand seemed exceptionally hot, so hot that it made her ears turn red.
She nodded. "I'll see you out."
"No need, you should rest well. The car is already at the door."
As he was about to leave, Qi Chenyan asked one more question: "If I change our daily phone calls to video calls, will you be unhappy?"
Previously, Qi Chenyan had been calling Yu Li every day to make sure she was alright.
But last night, Qi Chenyan reflected on it and realized that they were, after all, thousands of miles apart, and his little wife seemed to be the type to only report good news and not bad.
Even if she was really unwell during a simple phone call, as long as she didn't tell the truth, Qi Chenyan would be kept in the dark.
But if it's a video, he can see through the moving images to confirm whether Yu Li is alright, which will put his mind at ease.
However, he was also afraid that the video would make her feel that he was suspicious, checking up on her, and violating her privacy.
Yu Li was taken aback, but then she understood what the other person meant.
"If I can see Director Qi's handsome face every day, I'm really lucky."
Qi Chenyan smiled and couldn't help but reach out and rub her head.
"I'm leaving."
Yu Li was stunned by the touch, blinked, her face turned a little red, and finally she could only nod blankly.
As he got into the car, Qi Chenyan sent an address to his secretary.
"After this trip, I will detour to this place because I have other private matters to attend to."

Qi Chenyan had barely left when her best friend arrived.
The two cars had even brushed against each other from front to back.
Qi Xi glanced at the car that drove by and felt it looked vaguely familiar.
But she was preoccupied with Yu Li's safety and didn't glance at her more than a few times.
"Lili! Let me see, you've lost weight!"
"My cheap husband is still a bad husband. He's only been in the hospital for one day, and look how thin he's made my baby look!"
Upon meeting, Qi Xi cupped Yu Li's face in his hands and exaggeratedly looked her over from left to right.
"Nonsense, I just weighed myself and I've gained half a pound."
Once he was sure Yu Li was in good spirits, Qi Xi had time to ask about other things: "Where's your cheap husband?"
"If you won't let me pick you up from the hospital, I'd like to see what kind of vixen has bewitched my best friend!"
Yu Li shrugged. "What a coincidence, he just left and you arrived right after."
Upon hearing this, Qi Xi's eyes widened immediately. "What? You were just discharged from the hospital and he's already gone? You're pregnant and he's so irresponsible. How are we going to live from now on?"
"He doesn't even have time for his wife. Does he think he's the head of state? Even my uncle, who's a diplomat, isn't this busy."
"Divorce! This marriage must end! We need to show him that we have tempers too!"
