Chapter 036 The Old Master and the Second Young Master of the Qi Family
Qi Wuyu took Qi Luo to the rest area nearby. Qi Luo approached him and whispered, "There's no rush to eat. We can go see your grandfather first." After all, his grandfather is the oldest elder in the Qi family. It wouldn't matter if he eats a few minutes later.
"Let's go eat first." Qi Wuyu said, "Grandfather is in the lounge, so he should be resting. Going over now would disturb him. It won't be too late to go after we finish eating."
"Okay." Anyway, this was at his house and the person she was going to meet was his elder. He was not in a hurry, so there was no need for her to be in a hurry either.
As soon as they arrived at the rest area, someone brought them food. It should have been prepared in advance by Qi Wuyu. There were quite a few gifts, all of which were exquisite snacks. It was obvious that the ingredients and production process were not simple.
There were two not-so-big steaks, which were considered staple dishes.
"Wow, it's so exquisite."
Qi Luo likes to study cooking, but she doesn’t actually have a strong appetite and she doesn’t have much obsession with food. But when she saw the food, especially the exquisite steak and smelled the aroma of the steak, she couldn't help swallowing.
How strange.
"This is a dish made by Chef Tian, whom I spent a lot of effort to invite. I don't live in the old house often, but Third Grandpa also likes to eat it. When I'm not at home, Third Grandpa will bring people to his place to cook."
Qi Wuyu began to cut the steak in front of him, and handed it to Qi Luo, "You used to like the steak made by Master Tian the most."
Qi Luo was stunned.
For what he said, and even more for how carefully he helped her cut the steak.
He did this very naturally, without any deliberateness, and it didn't look like he was doing it for the first time.
Is it because he was well-educated and a gentleman, and was used to taking care of ladies when dining with them?
gentleman?
It feels so strange to apply this word to Mr. Qi, who always chokes her to death and ruins the atmosphere.
“…Thank you.”
She took a bite with her fork and her eyes lit up.
The taste is fragrant and not greasy.
It’s really delicious!
"Mr. Qi, you just said that this was my favorite dish before?" she couldn't help but ask.
She didn't like steak before and could eat it or not, so why did she think it was so delicious now? Even before I take a bite, I start drooling just by smelling it.
Is it because she took over the original owner's body and the original owner's taste was also left behind?
But that doesn't make sense. So much time has passed since she traveled through time and space, but every time she eats, she has no preference for taste, just like before.
Upon hearing this, Qi Wuyu raised his eyes while cutting his steak and said, "Yeah."
Qi Luo looked at him, remained silent for a moment, and asked with a smile: "Qi Yingdi, do you know my preferences very well? Do you know what I liked to eat in the past?"
"I don't understand." He stopped what he was doing, looked at her and said, "I don't understand."
Qi Luo couldn't help but be stunned.
No, if you don’t understand, then don’t understand. Why are you taking it so seriously? It makes her feel nervous... and awkward.
He laughed dryly twice: "Haha, it's normal that you don't understand. We are a marriage that was forced together by our elders. We don't have any emotional foundation to begin with. It's normal that we don't understand."
Qi Wu Yu didn't respond, just stared at her.
He looked at her until she felt uneasy, and then he uttered a soft "hmm".
When Qi Luo looked at him again, he had lowered his eyes and continued to cut the steak. Qi Luo couldn't see the expression in his eyes at all.
"I know I'm pretty, stop looking at me and eat quickly so you can go see your grandfather."
"..." He knew she was staring at him without even raising his eyes. It was as if she had eyes on top of her head!
Also, what does "I know I'm good-looking" mean? Does it fit his personality for him to be so narcissistic?
After eating for a while, Qi Luo couldn't help but look up at him: "Mr. Qi."
"how?"
Did you like me before...
She smiled: "No, nothing."
If Qi Wuyu had liked Su Qiluo before, and their marriage was not entirely the result of the elders' enthusiasm, then he was doomed to be disappointed, because Su Qiluo was no longer around.
"If you have something to say, just say it. Don't be so hesitant and pretentious."
Qi Luo: “…”
I couldn't help but roll my eyes.
Brother, others are feeling sentimental, you should give them some time to feel sentimental. The moment their emotions were raised, they were suppressed by your words. This feeling is really...
Take a deep breath, "It's okay! Eat!"
As expected, the chef was hired with great effort. Not only was the steak cooked well, but the other snacks also had a great texture and taste. Qi Luo was very satisfied with this meal. She thought that if she had the chance, she would definitely go and ask the chef for advice.
After dinner, Qi Wuyu took Qi Luo to meet his grandfather.
The old man was not alone in the lounge. Qi Yaoyang, the second son of the Qi family, was also there. He was playing chess with the old man.
Qi Yaoyang is Qi Lewan's biological brother, one year younger than Qi Wuyu.
Qi Wu Yu brought Qi Luo in, and as if he didn't want to disturb the two people playing chess, he didn't speak first. But the old man and Qi Yaoyang noticed them coming, looked up at them, and spoke first.
"Wu Yu and Luo Luo are back? Come and sit down."
"Brother, sister-in-law."
Different from Qi Wuyu's cold and introverted personality and Qi Wuyou's sunny and lively personality, Qi Yaoyang has a very gentle temperament. With a slight smile, he gives people a feeling like a spring breeze.
"Grandfather." Qi Wu Yu said lightly.
He has this kind of cold and indifferent attitude towards people, which doesn't make people feel that he has a bad attitude towards his grandfather.
Qi Luo also followed: "Grandfather."
When they went over, the two had just finished playing a game.
"Wu Yu, come play the next game with me."
The old man spoke, and Qi Yaoyang gave up his seat and motioned Qi Wuyu to sit down with a smile.
Qi Wuyu sat down in his original seat, Qi Luo followed suit and sat next to Qi Wuyu, so Qi Yaoyang could only sit next to the old man.
They played chess and Qi Luo watched from the side.
The old man is already eighty years old and his hair is gray.
In terms of appearance and temperament, Qi Yaoyang looks more like an old man.
"Sister-in-law, have some tea." Qi Yaoyang poured a cup of tea and handed it to Qi Luo, then poured a cup of tea next to the old man and poured a cup for himself.
The only one who didn't fall was Qi Wuyu.
Did you forget? Or did he not want to interrupt Qi Wuyu's thoughts while he was playing chess?
"Brother Wu Yu."
Qi Wuyu held the chess piece in his right hand and looked at her sideways, "What's wrong?"
"Raise your left hand."
Qi Wuyu didn't understand why, but he did as he was told.
Qi Luo smiled and put the tea he had just received but not drunk into his palm, "We just finished our meal, have a cup of tea to relieve the greasy feeling."
Qi Wuyu looked at the tea she handed to him, then looked at her deeply, picked up the teacup and took a sip, "Thank you."
"You're welcome." Qi Luo smiled at Qi Yaoyang who was sitting opposite him, "Second brother, please pour me another glass, thank you."
Qi Yaoyang smiled and poured her another cup. "Sister-in-law, you are so good to brother. You even think of him when you drink tea. I originally thought that brother never liked this tea, so I was going to have someone make a new pot for him. But brother treats you very differently. He obviously doesn't like this tea, but when you give it to him, he drinks it without hesitation without saying a word."
So, she was overthinking?
Tsk, you can't blame her. It's mainly because in such aristocratic families, intrigue and scheming are all too common. Qi Yaoyang's parents and sister have set a bad example.
Qi Luo didn't think there was anything embarrassing about her misunderstanding of Qi Yaoyang. She smiled openly, "I'm sorry to have made a fool of myself, my second brother. I have lost my memory and I don't remember anything from the past. I have completely forgotten what Brother Wu Yu likes."
Noticing Qi Wuyu's gaze, she turned her head and looked over, and inexplicably understood what was in Qi Wuyu's eyes: Have you known about my preferences before?
Pretend not to understand.
What she actually wanted to say was, if she knew or not, she should ask Su Qiluo.
"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to upset my sister-in-law by bringing this up."
"No need to apologize, second brother. I have already accepted the reality and I am very open-minded about it."
"Just be open-minded, don't force things, just let things take their own course and you will be at ease."
"My second brother has a good character."
Qi Yaoyang has already asked someone to make another pot of tea, and he also specifically specified the type of tea he wants. It sounds like it should be what Qi Wuyu usually likes to drink.
He smiled and said to Qi Luo: "Now when I hear my eldest sister-in-law calling me 'Second Brother' all the time, it feels...very novel. I am three years older than my eldest sister-in-law, and she used to call me Second Brother Qi."
He's just the second brother Qi. He's so weak in front of "Brother Wu Yu".
She was about to speak, but Qi Wuyu spoke first.
Qi Wuyu said calmly, "How about I call you second brother too?"
Qi Yaoyang was stunned, and quickly bowed his hands to beg for mercy: "I'm sorry for what I said, big brother, please forgive me this time. I don't have the courage to ask you to call me brother."
Qi Wuyu didn't say anything else and continued playing chess, as if what he just said was just a casual remark.
Qi Luo stared at his profile and felt that even his profile was completely in line with her aesthetic standards and was too handsome.
"What are you looking at?" Her eyes were so direct, how could Qi Wuyu not notice it.
Qi Luo did not dodge, still staring at him straight, not hiding his admiration for his looks at all, and said with a smile: "Guess what I'm looking at."
Usually Qi Wuyu would choke her so much that she didn't want to talk. It was a rare occasion that she choked Qi Wuyu.
She was in a very good mood.
The old man looked up at the two of them and said, "You two seem to be getting along much better now. I was originally worried that you would move out and live alone without an elder to mediate. You two are both quiet and busy with your own affairs and don't often go home to live together, so you would become more distant. Now I think I was overthinking. It turns out that young people really need more time alone to develop feelings."
"I was just about to say that when I saw my elder brother and sister-in-law again this time, I found that their relationship is better than before." Qi Yaoyang also said with a smile.
Then he looked at Qi Luo: "In the past, the eldest sister-in-law was very afraid of the eldest brother."
"Are you afraid of me?" Qi Wuyu asked Qi Luo.
The old man also looked at Qi Luo.
Qi Luo: “…”
Everyone is looking at her and she is under a lot of pressure.
"Brother Wu Yu, I think it's meaningless for you to ask me this." She winked at Qi Wu Yu playfully and smiled, "I have lost my memory. I have forgotten everything."
Then he asked Qi Yaoyang with a smile: "Second brother, was I really afraid of Brother Wu Yu before?"
Qi Yaoyang did not change his words due to the pressure, and said with a smile: "Yes, you are very afraid of Big Brother. Among us young people, there is no one who is not afraid of Big Brother, and I am afraid of him too. Not only are we young people afraid of Big Brother, but the uncles and elders who work in the company are also afraid of him. When Big Brother gets angry, it is very scary."
"How dare you speak like that in front of your eldest brother? I don't see that you are afraid of him at all." Qi Luo smiled, with a slightly joking tone.
Qi Yaoyang laughed, "Isn't it because you are here, brother won't get angry easily?"
"You can talk!" Qi Luo raised his teacup towards him and toasted him with tea instead of wine.
