After dealing with Qi Hao, Chi Shuyan couldn’t deal with Second Aunt’s grateful gaze, and hurriedly went to the study upstairs to find Grandpa Qi.
When she went upstairs, she didn’t let Qi Zhenbai go with her. It would be more sincere if she went to find the old man on her own.
Chi Shuyan had also made up her mind to be more sincere later.
When she knocked, Grandpa Qi’s energetic voice rang out. “Come in!”
Chi Shuyan hadn’t been nervous earlier, but she swallowed now. She pushed the door open and entered. She lowered her eyes and didn’t dare meet the old man’s sharp gaze. She obediently called out, “Grandpa! Are you free?”
Grandpa Qi was a bit surprised to see Zhenbai’s wife come in, but thinking that this child had probably come to apologize, his expression cleared up. “Zhenbai’s wife, are you free?”
Chi Shuyan pursed her lips and didn’t beat around the bush as she straightforwardly admitted her mistake. “Grandpa, it wasn’t right of me to hide the truth of my fake pregnancy from you!”
Grandpa Qi wasn’t an unreasonable person. He had gotten angry at Zhenbai last night for daring to hide something as big as this.
But to be honest, it was all his and Haozi’s fault. That rascal’s hands were itchy, but it was his fault for misunderstanding. This child had simply been driven into a corner.
He thought of how this child had been afraid that he would be sad, and had taken the opportunity to try and get pregnant; even if he was still angry, it would have all been swept away by that fact.
Grandpa Qi said very gently, “Alright, Zhenbai’s wife, I know who’s right and who’s wrong. It wasn’t your fault. If anyone is in the wrong, it’s Zhenbai!”
Chi Shuyan: …
After thinking it through last night, Grandpa Qi wasn’t in a hurry to find out if Zhenbai’s wife was pregnant or not, and only felt a little regret.
In any case, he was in pretty good shape now. Zhenbai and his wife would give birth to a fair and chubby great-grandchild for him sooner or later.
It was just that what he was most conflicted about now was how proud he had been when he went to show off in front of his old friends, and how ashamed he was now.
Of course, it wasn’t good to tell his granddaughter-in-law this. Grandpa Qi didn’t plan to answer any calls or go out for the next few days.
Grandpa Qi didn’t say much. In the end, he only asked Zhenbai’s wife to promise that when she was about to graduate, she would fulfill his dream of a great-grandchild.
Chi Shuyan naturally agreed immediately. “Yes, Grandpa!”
Grandpa Qi didn’t go out and was feeling a bit bored. Taking advantage of Zhenbai’s wife’s presence, Grandpa Qi asked, “Zhenbai’s wife, do you know how to play chess?”
Chi Shuyan nodded and said that she knew a little.
Grandpa Qi was delighted and immediately had Zhenbai’s wife play chess with him in the study.
Grandpa Qi originally thought that Zhenbai’s wife only knew how to play a little chess, and he also just played to pass the time. Who would have thought that Zhenbai’s wife would be so modest when she said she knew how to play a little?
Seeing how Zhenbai’s wife took his chess pieces nimbly and ruthlessly, Grandpa Qi was immediately interested. The old man and the young lady played five rounds in a row. The more they played, the more excited Grandpa Qi became, and the more he liked Zhenbai’s wife.
The wife that Zhenbai had found was to his liking in every way.
They were especially excited as they played chess. Chi Shuyan also forgot about the man waiting for her downstairs.
On the other hand, when Qi Zhenbai saw that his wife hadn’t come downstairs after half an hour, he was expressionless, but couldn’t sit still. He didn’t wait much longer before he went straight upstairs.
When there was a knock on the study room door, Grandpa Qi and Chi Shuyan were still playing chess. Grandpa Qi shook his head and sighed. “I thought this kid would be able to bear it for a while, but he can’t take it anymore? Where’s his patience from before?”
Chi Shuyan’s face flushed red. Grandpa Qi snorted and had Zhenbai, that rascal, enter. As soon as Zhenbai entered, Grandpa Qi snorted and said in a deliberately cold voice, “What? Will an old man like me bully your wife?”
