At that moment, there was a knock on the door. Chi Shuyan’s expression froze.
How could Qi Zhenbai not know what his wife was worried about? He said gently, “Don’t worry. Grandpa and Dad thought that you were sleepy because of your pregnancy, so they didn’t ask much. They were just worried that you would go hungry!”
Chi Shuyan: What if I feel guilty?
Chi Shuyan originally thought that no matter how awkward it was, she would still have to be polite and go out to take a look. Looking at her pajamas, however, she decided to forget it!
Qi Zhenbai guessed that his mother had probably brought some nourishing tonic over. He carried Chu Shuyan onto the bed before heading out of the bedroom to open the door.
Indeed!
There was a bowl of bird’s nest porridge on the tray his mother was holding.
Mother Qi said concernedly, “Didn’t you say that Shuyan is awake? Is she hungry now? Tell her to drink more bird’s nest porridge. It’s very good for her health!”
Qi Zhenbai took the tray and nodded.
Mother Qi looked worried. “Is your wife really alright?”
Qi Zhenbai nodded without a change in his expression. “She’s fine!”
“Take good care of your wife. She can treat this place like her own home. She can sleep whenever she wants, but she has to eat this!” Mother Qi said with concern. After a pause, she said worriedly, “If your wife is feeling unwell, tell her that we have a doctor in the house. She can just make a call. There’s no need to go to the hospital!”
Qi Zhenbai pursed his lips. “Mom, my wife is fine!”
Mother Qi saw that her son looked calm and refreshed. It seemed that her daughter-in-law was indeed fine. The child hadn’t come downstairs to eat this morning. Grandpa Qi, Father Qi, and her had been worried sick.
Good! Good!
Mother Qi repeatedly urged her son to have his wife drink more bird’s nest.
Qi Zhenbai raised his eyebrows. “Alright!”
Only then did Mother Qi drop the subject, and she told him to bring his wife downstairs later.
After Mother Qi left, Qi Zhenbai brought the bird’s nest porridge in. Chi Shuyan changed into her clothes from yesterday and tidied the bed.
They had really messed up the huge bed last night. The sheets and covers had to be washed.
Chi Shuyan forgot about the Cleaning Talisman at that moment. She puzzled over how to secretly wash the blanket and quilt cover under the eyes of the Qi family.
Qi Zhenbai didn’t dare ask his wife to do anything else at this moment. He placed the food on the table and wanted to carry her over to have some porridge, and said that she could leave the blanket and quilt cover to him.
“Don’t carry me, don’t carry me. I’m not disabled, I can walk by myself!” Chi Shuyan felt that after last night, this man took care of her like she was a cripple.
Because of what they had done last night, Chi Shuyan felt a little awkward when she looked at the man. She also felt awkward while she ate the porridge. Qi Zhenbai didn’t seem to notice his wife’s awkward expression, and was very calm. His lips were curved slightly, and he seemed to be in a good mood. He stared at her with a burning gaze. His deep and bright eyes made Chi Shuyan feel uncomfortable.
The man’s deep voice suddenly sounded. “Does it… still hurt?”
The corners of Chi Shuyan’s lips twitched, and she quickly said, “It doesn’t hurt!” Then, she quickly changed the topic. She didn’t want to discuss this with the man anymore.
At that moment, her phone rang again. Chi Shuyan thought that it was a call from Yang Lan. She glanced at the screen, then remembered that she had accepted a mission.
Coincidentally, the appointment was today.
Chi Shuyan picked up the call. Sure enough, the person who issued the mission asked her what time she would be arriving. Chi Shuyan looked at the time, then arranged to meet the other party at 2:30 pm!
“Alright!”
The moment she hung up, the man’s voice sounded, a vague hint of danger in it. “Are you going out later?”
