Chapter 275 The Plan to Propose
Qi Chenyan said to her earnestly, "Lili, I'm afraid that I haven't done everything well enough, or that I haven't done everything thoroughly enough."
"If money can ensure your safety and that of your baby, then it's worth it no matter how much it costs."
Money can buy many things, but the one thing it can't completely guarantee is the health and safety of Yu Li and her baby.
While blaming himself for what happened last night, Qi Chenyan secretly vowed that it must never happen again.
He had previously thought that with Tan Mo on call 24/7, if anything happened to Yu Li, Tan Mo would be there to ensure she could be taken to the hospital in time.
Moreover, because Yu Li's various indicators were all normal before, Qi Chenyan did not consider the risks that existed in the later stages of pregnancy, and in terms of the medical team, he only considered postpartum recovery.
Now that Yu Li is in trouble, Qi Chenyan only regrets that he didn't consider things thoroughly enough.
Fortunately, both the adults and children were safe in the end; otherwise, Qi Chenyan would never have forgiven himself for his momentary lapse in judgment.
"That's true. Our Director Qi has no shortage of money. Why would I be so frugal? Of course, I'll spend it all on you with my baby!"
Qi Chenyan smiled and patted her head.
"Don't be polite with your husband, just spend as much as you want. I've seen it in TV dramas, they always max out their credit cards, haven't they?"
Yu Li feigned surprise: "My goodness, our Director Qi actually knows the tropes of domineering CEO dramas?"
"I can't have too much of a generation gap with my wife, otherwise if we can't find common ground in conversation, it will affect our relationship over time."
In the past, Qi Chenyan's world consisted only of work.
But now, with a wife, there will soon be a brand new little life.
He needs to constantly adapt, learn, and integrate into Yu Li's life and social circle during this process.
Sometimes, things that interest him might not interest Yu Li.
What Yu Li was interested in was something he had never been exposed to.
But none of these are problems. As long as you have the other person in your heart, you will naturally integrate into their world and do things they like together. This is how you can always have common topics to talk about.
Only those who don't love enough or find it troublesome will think that if they don't share common interests, they are not the same kind of people.
You can dislike something, but you can't completely ignore it.
Since you are husband and wife, and since you will be spending countless days and nights together in the future, you should consciously and proactively try to understand each other's world.
Especially for a man, claims of not being interested or not knowing about something are just excuses.
If you can't even do such a small thing, then what's the point of dating or getting married?
Yu Li smiled and beckoned to Qi Chenyan.
Qi Chenyan instantly understood his wife's meaning, and obediently and cooperatively bent down slightly so that his wife could leave a sweet kiss on his face without having to stand on tiptoe.
He only needed to tilt his head slightly to kiss his wife's lips.
Fortunately, Yu Li's performance indicators remained within a manageable range afterward.
Occasionally, blood pressure or heart rate may rise, but the medical team reacts very quickly, intervening promptly and rapidly to bring the indicators back to normal.

One month later.
Zhou Heran suddenly sneaked to the lakeside villa, ostensibly to visit Yu Li, but actually to meet Qi Chenyan alone.
"Chen Yan, I'm planning to propose to Xi Xi. What do you think would be the most appropriate occasion and format for the proposal?"
Qi Chenyan raised an eyebrow, "You proposed to my niece, and now you're asking me, your uncle?"
“Because you are family, when I consult you, I am also seeking the consent of the Qi family to see if they recognize me as their son-in-law.”
Qi Chenyan responded with an "Oh," and said, "I don't agree."
Zhou Heran felt an itch in his teeth. "Hey, aren't we still best buddies who grew up together? Besides, although I may not be as perfect as you in some aspects, I'm still a model boyfriend. Why won't you accept me? What gives you the right to not accept me?"
"You and Xiaoxi have only been dating for about a month, and you're already proposing? You don't know each other well enough yet. It's too hasty."
Zhou Heran clicked his tongue: "You got on the bus first and bought the ticket later, and you still tell me that proposing after only a month of dating is too fast. You and your sister-in-law only slept together for one night and then got married in a flash. Compared to you, my speed is like a snail."
Qi Chenyan felt that Zhou Heran was asking for trouble.
"Get out of here, the Qi family will never agree to this marriage."
Zhou Heran smiled and stepped forward, "Just kidding, just kidding. Although you and your sister-in-law had a whirlwind marriage, it was a marriage of convenience that blossomed into love. You could say it was a predestined fate."
"But my fate with Xixi depends entirely on you. Don't you want to hear me call you Uncle along with Xixi sooner, Shen Yan?"
To get a wife, Zhou Heran really didn't care about having any shame at all.
He was the same age as Qi Chenyan, but his girlfriend was from a different generation than Qi Chenyan. Once he married Qi Xi, Qi Chenyan would become an elder.
"Then it depends on whether your sincerity is enough."
Zhou Heran felt that Qi Chenyan was really too cunning and evil.
Fortunately, Yu Li thought he was perfect in every way; it's just that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and she didn't see Qi Chenyan's true nature.
"Uncle, uncle, wise and mighty uncle, please help me!"
Qi Chenyan then took pity on him and waved his hand, "Ears."
Zhou Heran immediately leaned his ear closer.
"Your identity is too troublesome. If we propose in a high-profile manner in China, we'll definitely be spotted by fans or paparazzi, which could easily expose Xiaoxi. It's better to go abroad and find a place with fewer people..."

Qi Xi has been incredibly busy lately because Zhou Heran asked her if she had time to travel to Iceland together.
Of course, she wanted to travel with her boyfriend, and Iceland was a place she had never been before. Most importantly, she could see the Northern Lights, a popular destination for couples.
However, Qi Xi has been working more and more lately, and she has also been learning a lot. In order to be able to date Zhou Heran, Qi Xi has compressed her work time to within minutes.
Now, in order to travel abroad with Zhou Heran, she has been working overtime continuously, which has freed up a week for them to have a good time.
Even Zhou Heran hadn't been able to see Qi Xi for several days and could only maintain their relationship through video calls.
Until today, when Zhou Heran drove to pick up Qi Xi before flying to Iceland, he immediately noticed that Qi Xi's condition was not quite right.
"Xixi, have you been too tired lately? If you are, we can go abroad to play again next time."
Although Zhou Heran had been planning the proposal for a long time, seeing that Qi Xi was obviously quite tired, his first thought was naturally to feel sorry for his girlfriend.
"It's okay, it's just that the international video conference last night went on quite late. I'll catch up on some sleep on the plane later."
"Besides, I've been working overtime for several days in a row to prepare for this trip. Moreover, for us Chinese, once we've come all this way, why would we back down?"
