By the time Chi Shuyan left, it was almost 8pm. Thinking of Qi Zhenbai, she suddenly recalled that the man hadn’t called at all earlier. Did he see her message?
When she took out her phone, Chi Shuyan realized that she had accidentally turned it off. She quickly turned it on and saw more than a dozen missed calls.
Chi Shuyan immediately felt guilty. Wait, that man should have seen her message!
Chi Shuyan immediately called back, but the man didn’t pick up. She logged into WeChat again and saw that the man had sent her a message more than an hour ago. He said that he would go back to the Qi residence first tonight, and told her to go back to the apartment rather than the Qi residence.
Chi Shuyan’s right eyelid twitched, and she immediately drove to the Qi residence.
When Chi Shuyan arrived at the Qi residence, the atmosphere was strange. Not only was Qi Zhenbai absent, Qi Hao, that rascal, was standing on the side with red eyes.
Qi Hao turned his head and saw Chi Shuyan. He immediately looked guilty. “Sister-in-law, I was wrong! I was wrong! It’s all my fault. I shouldn’t have joked that you were pregnant. How could I have known that Grandpa would take my casual joke seriously? I was really wrong!”
Chi Shuyan: … What did she miss? Wait, did that man tell everyone that the pregnancy had been a misunderstanding?
She had thought earlier that the man was angry, but now she knew why he didn’t want her to go back to the Qi residence.
Chi Shuyan was immediately embarrassed at the thought of the misunderstanding, and didn’t know how to face Father and Mother Qi and the rest of the Qi family.
Chi Shuyan originally thought that the Qi family would be angry. Chi Shuyan walked up to Father and Mother Qi and was about to apologize, but Mother Qi suddenly grabbed her hand and sighed. “It’s been hard on you, child. It’s fine. If you’re not pregnant, you’re not. Zhenbai’s wife, you’re still young. There’s no hurry. Take your time with Zhenbai!”
Without waiting for Mother Qi to finish speaking, everyone else also comforted her.
Chi Shuyan: … What did Qi Zhenbai say?
At that moment, Second Uncle and Second Aunt in particular thought of how this misunderstanding had been caused by Qi Hao, and Father Qi was close to thrashing this pampered only son of his black and blue.
Second Aunt looked at her son, Qi Hao, and then at Zhenbai’s wife guiltily.
Second Uncle couldn’t help but lose his temper at Qi Hao again. “It’s all this kid’s fault! How can you joke around like this? Hurry and apologize to your eldest cousin-in-law!”
Qi Hao immediately apologized to his sister-in-law with red eyes and a sincere face. He really didn’t expect his grandfather to think that his sister-in-law was pregnant because of his cheap message.
Chi Shuyan had indeed planned to teach this kid a lesson because Qi Hao had dug her such a huge pit. Seeing his red eyes, she immediately said to Second Uncle, “Second Uncle, the main responsibility for the misunderstanding lies with me. Don’t scold Haozi anymore.”
“It isn’t Sister-in-law, it’s my fault!” Qi Hao said.
Chi Shuyan was about to speak, when she looked up and saw a familiar tall figure coming down from the second floor. Who else could it be but Qi Zhenbai, with his stern face and imposing aura?
Chi Shuyan subconsciously felt relieved for some reason when she saw the man. She heard him say in a deep and somewhat oppressive voice, “Dad, Mom, I just said that the pregnancy misunderstanding has nothing to do with my wife! If you want grandchildren, my wife and I will work hard in the future!”
