"What was with that look you gave me, brat?" Marshal Li turned to look at Qi Feng after the two went upstairs. He wasn't seeing things.
"If I'm not mistaken, he was just feeling sorry for me?" Qi Feng hesitated for a moment, but he was sure he hadn't misjudged the situation.
Marshal Li thought for a moment, then seemed to understand something. He paused, then finally laughed out loud.
"You brat." Marshal Li realized that the brat was just showing off that he had married a good wife.
Seeing his father's reaction, Qi Feng finally realized what was happening and was left speechless, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
He was very happy. Baichuan was getting closer and closer to them. He still remembered what Baichuan looked like when he first came to Beijing.
Aside from necessary matters, I rarely interact with them; I'm overly polite but not close to them.
Many times he felt he treated them as guests, and Su Yatou, that child was too clever.
He knew in his heart that she was on guard against them, and he could also see that Su was particularly protective of her own.
He cherished Baichuan like his life, and to be honest, he was quite envious of Baichuan for having such a devoted wife.
Whether he was a country bumpkin or the only child of the Li family, his heart never changed.
Bai Chuan should be smug. Everyone says that a virtuous wife brings fewer troubles to her husband. With such a good wife, the Li family will have no worries about a good life in the future.
"Dad, it seems like the new Secretary Qin at the dinner table today knew the two kids." Qi Feng thought about what happened at the dinner table and prepared to talk to his father about it.
Today is the children's wedding day, and he's not so clueless as to go and talk to someone about it right now.
He was just worried, so he talked to his dad about it so he could have some peace of mind.
"The Qin family? The one we were going to give to Wei Bowen?" Marshal Li and Qi Feng spoke without any hesitation.
After listening to him finish recounting what happened at the dinner table that day, his eyes darkened slightly as he carefully recalled the events.
"Yes, that girl came too, and she was very rude." Qi Feng only remembered that such an incident after hearing his father mention it.
All those things were arranged by Li Ci back then, and he didn't care at all. Now it seems that the Qin family might be trying to take revenge on the two children.
"The Qin family must be blind to have taken a liking to Wei Bowen. If they feel resentful and want to target the two kids, they'll have to see if I agree."
Marshal Li thought carefully about the Qin family members. One of them was a division commander in Jiang Province, but the others seemed to have taken a different path.
However, the Qin family has many younger members, each of whom is quite remarkable, and they have all done quite well, regardless of age.
The one standing in the high position now is Secretary Qin, who became the secretary of Beijing at a young age. A few old guys mentioned this before.
They say that person is quite capable; after taking office, he acted swiftly and decisively, accomplishing many practical things.
Marshal Li valued talent highly, and when Li Ci mentioned this matter, he thought she had good judgment.
It seems she was blind now.
“I’ve dealt with that Secretary Qin before. He’s a cunning guy. I need to talk to the kids about this tomorrow and be careful.”
Qi Feng felt that Wei Bowen had left behind trouble, which made him even more disgusted.
"Alright, I'll have Xiao Liu go and inquire about the Qin family first. We'll talk about the rest after we return home." Marshal Li thought that unless the Qin family members were stupid, they wouldn't target the two children.
Then she thought of the malicious look on the Qin family girl's face that Qi Feng had mentioned, but no matter what, it all depended on what the head of the Qin family wanted.
"I'll bring some food upstairs later, Dad. Why don't you go upstairs and rest first?" Qi Feng understood what his father meant.
After explaining the situation, seeing his father's exhausted face, and considering how busy he had been these past few days, I helped him upstairs to rest.
According to local custom in Beijing, newlyweds are not allowed to leave the bridal chamber on their wedding night. Qi Feng thought about how tired the two children must be after a long day.
Fearing that Su Yatou might get hungry in the middle of the night, they asked the family's nanny to prepare some food and send it upstairs first.
Li Baichuan and Su Ti were already aware of this custom and had no plans to go out.
"Wife, are you done?" Li Baichuan was worried that his wife would get anxious staying in the house.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she entered the house, she excitedly pulled him over to draw a picture for him. Seeing his wife's enthusiastic expression, he couldn't bear to disturb her.
When he was almost numb from sitting, he cautiously asked the question.
"Almost done, just one more minute." Seeing his expression getting increasingly stiff, Suti quickly sped up the finishing touches.
"Alright, alright, get up first, I'll add a few more things." After finishing the drawing, Su Ti felt something was still missing, so she added a final touch to the background.
She had studied painting with a teacher when she was a child, but later that family was labeled as leftists and sent to the countryside.
Later, the painting project was abandoned. Coupled with the things that happened in my previous life, I couldn't care less about painting or anything else.
Indeed, those romantic and carefree days can only be remembered when one has no worries about food and drink.
"Wife, is this our wedding photo that you drew?" Li Baichuan originally thought his wife was just drawing it for fun.
When they saw the painting, they realized that wasn't the case. They had taken a group photo back when they were in Yangliu Brigade.
Now the painting has been changed to today's outfit, with the same red background, and he says it's perfect for a wedding photo.
"Yes, our wedding photo. Grandpa originally said he wanted to take one for us today, but I stopped him. We only took a family photo. I want to draw the wedding photo myself."
Suti also wrote the date next to the photo, planning to frame it and hang it up once it dried.
"It's so beautiful." Li Baichuan felt an indescribable happiness in the image his wife had created for him, and he couldn't believe that was how he looked now.
"It's just so-so." Suti knew her own level. Baichuan was blind to love, and he thought everything about her was good.
Even though she practiced a lot in private, her skill level was limited and barely passable.
The river in her painting is full of affection, while her own work is much more hasty. She just puts the painting in her room, since no one will see it anyway, otherwise she would feel embarrassed.
"Really, wife, it's wonderful." Li Baichuan continued to praise it, practically showering the painting with compliments.
"Alright, hurry up and get some rest. We have to get up early tomorrow morning." Suti couldn't stand it anymore and pushed her to wash up and go to bed.
Tomorrow is her first day of marriage, and she still has to get up to serve tea to her grandfather and father.
Even if she doesn't care about these things, Suti still wants to make the elderly happy because they deserve it.
Li Baichuan carefully put the painting away, and after washing up, he took the late-night snack that the nanny had brought and coaxed her to eat some.
After playing around the room with her in his arms for a while, he finally fell asleep contentedly with her in his arms.
Li Baichuan no longer feels inferior. He is now a perfect match for his wife and has a loving family.
He then married the woman he loved most.
