Li Yu’s face was covered in tears and his big eyes shone with fear. He hiccuped and paused, but then couldn’t help crying louder and even more miserably.
It was probably because this office had good soundproofing that the cries could only be faintly heard outside.
Qi Zhenbai was really afraid of this kid. The more he threatened, the more this kid cried without giving him face. At that moment, Qi Zhenbai’s face was stiff and he even looked a bit helpless. He was about to call for Chief Assistant Zhu.
Seeing that the little guy’s bawling was getting louder and louder, Chi Shuyan immediately took him and sat him on her lap to comfort him. To be honest, even though she had lived two lifetimes, she wasn’t good at coaxing children at all.
But she could only give it a desperate shot this time. She would learn how to coax others.
Fortunately, the little guy Li Yu didn’t dislike her, and quickly stopped crying. He was probably embarrassed under Chi Shuyan’s gaze, so he turned his head and buried himself in Chi Shuyan’s arms as he cried again.
Chi Shuyan rubbed the little guy’s head. “Okay, stop crying! Where do you want to go? I’ll take you there!”
Qi Zhenbai watched this kid take advantage of his wife right under his nose as that little head kept burrowing into his wife’s arms. His handsome face was incomparably dark. Without thinking, he directly pulled this kid out of his wife’s arms and into his lap to indicate that he would be the one to coax him.
The little guy, who had just stopped crying, turned around and saw that he had returned to the lap of the scary man who had just threatened him. He wailed even louder.
Qi Zhenbai’s eardrums hurt at the sound of this kid’s crying. How could this kid cry so much?
Qi Zhenbai couldn’t stand it anymore. He directly called for Chief Assistant Zhu to come in, and threw the kid to him to carry him out and coax him. Chi Shuyan was still a little worried.
Qi Zhenbai didn’t like his wife’s attention on other people, not even a child. He narrowed his eyes and said sombrely, “Dad and Mom just told us to go back to the Qi residence tonight. They said they’ve already stewed some tonic for you to drink at home! And Grandpa…”
Speak of the devil.
Chi Shuyan’s eyes swept over the screen of the ringing phone, and she saw the word “Grandpa.” Her hand trembled. The matter which she had just thrown to the back of her mind was pulled up again. She didn’t have to think much to know what the old man was going to say.
Qi Zhenbai turned on the speaker this time, and the call went through.
The old man’s reprimanding voice immediately rang out. First, he reprimanded Qi Zhenbai for making his wife pregnant at such a young age, and then reprimanded him for not telling the family about such a huge matter. If Haozi hadn’t revealed it, would Qi Zhenbai have told them only when the child was born?
Chi Shuyan’s face flushed red as she listened to the old man lecture Qi Zhenbai. Qi Hao wasn’t here now. If he were, she would have strangled him to death. She didn’t know how to clean up the mess at all.
Qi Zhenbai listened to the old man’s lecture expressionlessly from beginning to end. He narrowed his eyes and suddenly asked, “Grandpa, did you just visit your friends?”
“What do you care if an old man like me goes to visit a few good friends? Say, their kids who are your age either already have kids or their wives are pregnant. Those old guys usually show them off in front of me. It wasn’t easy for me to get a great granddaughter, yet you still care about me showing off?”
Qi Zhenbai and Chi Shuyan: …
Without waiting for Qi Zhenbai to speak, Grandpa Qi continued, “Tell your wife not to worry. Our family likes both boys and girls, and doesn’t favor boys. Hurry and bring your wife back to the old residence tonight!”
The old man’s last words were completely a death sentence
