Chapter 215 My Lover
Everyone present, except for Yu Li, could understand what was being said, which already made Yu Li feel somewhat uncomfortable.
As a host, Yu Li certainly has this kind of sensitivity.
Tang Shi on the other end of the phone must have done it on purpose.
Otherwise, why would a Chinese person need to use German to talk and chat with their family?
Isn't it just that she doesn't want the person present to understand the meaning behind her words, to make her feel spontaneously that she is an outcast in this family?
But since she was a guest in someone else's home, Yu Li didn't show her displeasure openly, but her desire to stay there was growing stronger.
She originally got along quite well with Deng Bailing and her husband, but she forgot that all the interactions she had with them outside of work were because of Qi Chenyan.
In reality, Deng Bailing and the others only showed her such enthusiasm because of Qi Chenyan.
Ultimately, in Qi Chenyan's heart, she was his wife and family, but in Deng Bailing's eyes, she was naturally far less important than their own biological daughter and her relationship with Qi Chenyan.
Perhaps due to her family background, Yu Li, who was more mature and sensible than her peers from a young age, is actually more sensitive and fragile inside.
She felt nothing for people she didn't care about.
But she didn't know when it started, she had already categorized Qi Chenyan in her heart as family, or even as a lover.
So at this moment, her sensitivity and discomfort uncontrollably surfaced.
I thought that Qi Chenyan would also be attracted to Tang poetry like Deng Bailing, and then start chatting with her.
However, Qi Chenyan did not answer the person on the phone, but walked straight towards Yu Li.
"It's getting late, shall we go home, Lili?"
Qi Chenyan ignored everyone else and immediately focused all his attention on her.
And as she spoke, she extended a long, slender, jade-like hand toward him.
The sunlight shone behind him, as if coating him with a gentle, soft light, making even the originally dazzling sunlight seem gentler.
Yu Li's previously gloomy mood suddenly blossomed in her heart like flowers.
She hummed in agreement and placed her hand in Qi Chenyan's palm.
After gathering their hands together, Qi Chenyan naturally and smoothly intertwined his fingers with hers.
After taking a few steps, Qi Chenyan stopped, turned to the person on the other end of the phone, and said in the most fluent Mandarin: "Shishi, you don't need to speak a foreign language when making overseas calls to your family."
The person on the other end of the phone was clearly not expecting that Qi Chenyan's first words to her would be in a critical, lecturing tone.
However, he quickly admitted his mistake: "I'm sorry, Brother Shen Yan. I've been in Germany for a long time and spoken German a lot, so I haven't switched back to German yet. I didn't mean to. You won't be angry with me, will you?"
Qi Chenyan didn't reply, but Deng Bailing smiled and said, "It's perfectly normal that you haven't adjusted yet. How could Chenyan get angry over such a small thing?"
Tang Shi seemed to want to say something more, but Qi Chenyan spoke first: "Teacher, teacher's wife, if there's nothing else, then Lili and I will take our leave."
"Aren't you going to stay a little longer? Why did you go back so early?"
Qi Chenyan hummed in agreement, without mentioning at all that it was because Yu Li didn't want to stay anymore. He only said to himself, "I have some temporary work to take care of. I'll come back to play chess with you next time, teacher."
He only mentioned himself and didn't say that he would bring Yu Li along.
Others didn't understand at first, but Yu Li, who was somewhat unhappy here, immediately grasped his extra thought.
Suddenly, Yu Li didn't feel so suffocated anymore.
After all, getting angry over someone you've never even met will only harm your health, which is really not worth it.
No sooner had Qi Chenyan left with Yu Li than Tang Shi asked sullenly on the other end of the phone, "Mom, is Brother Chenyan angry with me? Did I say something wrong?"
"How could that be? He just had a temporary job. You know, his job is exactly the same as your father's. He's always elusive."
"Besides, he brought Xiao Yu with him. He really had something to do, so he left early. You don't need to think so much about it."
Tang Shi said "Oh," and then asked, "Mom, is Brother Shen Yan's wife pretty?"
"Although Xiaoyu's appearance doesn't have the striking beauty of female celebrities in the entertainment industry, she has the advantage of being gentle and graceful, with a good temperament. Moreover, her professional skills are absolutely top-notch. She's a good kid."
Tang Shi drawled out her words, her tone coquettish: "It's rare to see Mother speak so highly of someone. It seems that in Mother's heart, I, her daughter, am far inferior to Brother Shen Yan's wife?"
Deng Bailing smiled, both helpless and doting, and said, "You silly child, how can outsiders compare to my Shishi?"

As soon as he got into the car, Qi Chenyan said gently, "Minister Tang is my teacher. Lili, you are willing to accompany me to visit him. We have already fulfilled the obligations that a junior should have."
"From now on, don't force yourself to do anything that makes you unhappy unless you want to. He is my teacher, but you are my wife. Everything I do is based on your happiness and displeasure."
He gazed at her with his deep, obsidian-like black eyes and said, "If you don't enjoy the time together, you don't need to do too much socializing."
"Lili, you just need to be yourself and do what you like."
Yu Li didn't expect that Qi Chenyan not only knew she didn't want to stay any longer, but also keenly sensed her unhappiness during the process.
She felt a slight soreness and dampness in the corners of her eyes.
If you're moved to tears by just a few words from someone, that's a bit too sentimental.
Honestly, she wasn't such a sentimental person before, nor was she someone whose mood was so easily affected by outsiders.
How come after getting pregnant, she seems to be developing into a more doting wife type?
Yu Li quickly lowered her eyelids to hide her barely concealed emotions, hummed in agreement, and nodded.
Qi Chenyan simply chuckled and raised his hand to ruffle her dark hair.
When she looked up again, Yu Li had already composed herself.
"I still don't know what it's like when you speak German."
Qi Chenyan's thin lips moved slightly, uttering a few words that were several degrees deeper than when he spoke Mandarin.
It has that natural, mixed bass feel, drilling into your ears and making your eardrums feel all tingly and numb.
No wonder people always say that an excellent voice actor can make your ears pregnant. It's a real pity that Qi Chenyan, with his God-given talent, isn't a voice actor.
What do you mean?
Qi Chenyan smiled and slowly translated the German he had just spoken.
"my sweetheart."
