Chi Shuyan’s throat was sore and hot. She couldn’t wait to take a sip of water, and hurriedly said, “No need… to test the temperature. Give… give it to me! Cough, cough…”

But when she reached out to take the cup, the man above her reached out to take it first. He took a sip to test the temperature before handing it to the woman in front of him.

As Chi Shuyan drank the water, she felt that this man was really good to her. Although his tone hadn’t been good earlier, his actions were considerate.

At the thought that she might have fooled around with Brother Feng after getting drunk, Chi Shuyan wanted to cry without tears. She made up her mind not to get drunk anymore!

She gulped down a few cups of water in a row, and the spiciness in her throat finally faded a little. At that moment, Qi Yunchang came over and asked Qi Zhenbai softly, “Cousin, is Cousin-in-law much better?”

Without waiting for the man to answer, Chi Shuyan said that she was much better and that there was no need to worry. She also told Yunchang not to worry about her and to go to the table to eat first.

Qi Yunchang still wasn’t familiar with Chi Shuyan. She was a bit shy, so she nodded. After confirming that her cousin-in-law wasn’t coughing anymore, she heaved a sigh of relief and left.

Qi Hao felt that he asked a lot of his sister-in-law a lot on a daily basis, and he would probably do so in the future. Thinking of how the good stuff that his sister-in-law took out every time was enough to make him drool, Qi Hao’s heart itched terribly. So, even when Qi Zhenbai and Chi Shuyan told him to go back to the table and eat, Qi Hao insisted on standing outside with a thermos. How could he let go of such a rare opportunity to curry favor and express his loyalty?

So, every time Chi Shuyan told him to go back to the table and continue eating, Qi Hao would just smile solicitously. Under Qi Zhenbai’s gaze, Qi Hao’s smile faded a little, but he just chuckled dumbly. “Sister-in-law, I’m not tired! Are you thirsty? Shall I pour you another cup?”

When the Qi family’s second aunt came to see Zhenbai’s wife, she saw her son standing conscientiously at the bathroom door with a thermos in his hand, saying solicitous and considerate words to Zhenbai’s wife.

Second Aunt Qi really felt that her baby was too sensible. She felt some regret that this kid wasn’t as considerate and solicitous toward her, but while she felt a little sour, she felt even more pride.

Who said that her baby wasn’t sensible?

Looking at her baby, Second Aunt Qi thought happily that he would definitely be a filial child in the future. Her good impression of Zhenbai’s wife also grew. If Zhenbai’s wife wasn’t good to her baby, why would he proactively try to get close to her?

Hearing that Zhenbai’s wife wasn’t coughing anymore, Second Aunt Qi didn’t disturb them and went back.

Chi Shuyan was really a bit moved at that moment, but Qi Hao continued, “Sister-in-law, I’m good, right? So, if you have anything good to sell on Taobao in the future, let me know first!”

As he spoke, Qi Hao brought up the matter of the Storage Talismans and said that they had been put up for sale too early for Lu Yunfeng and the others; he still hadn’t shown off enough. In the past, every time he took something out of thin air and posted it on his WeChat Moments, everyone would gnash their teeth in envy and hatred in the comments, and he happily admired the comments every night.

But ever since Lu Yunfeng and the others bought Storage Talismans, not only did the comments decrease significantly on his posts in Moments, Lu Yunfeng and the others also put up similar posts, which infuriated him.

After hearing this, Chi Shuyan’s gratitude toward Qi Hao was swept away. She was angry for one moment, but then didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. Qi Hao had indeed done a lot for her today.

Chi Shuyan said that she was much better. She told him to go back and eat, and she would just rinse her mouth.

Seeing that his sister-in-law really was fine and wasn’t coughing anymore, Qi Hao was about to say that he would wait for her. When he saw his elder cousin’s cold gaze, however, his legs shook. He immediately swallowed the words he was about to say and left obediently. “Sister-in-law, I’ll go back to the table to eat first!”

“Go!” Chi Shuyan nodded. When she saw Qi Hao’s back, she suddenly thought of Lin Haoxing. It wasn’t good to call Qi Hao back now, so she could only wait to ask him about the boy after dinner.

After Qi Hao left, the atmosphere was especially quiet for a moment. Chi Shuyan suspected that she might have fooled around and had been caught red-handed by the man behind her, so she felt very guilty. She made up her mind to call Brother Feng immediately to ask what happened after she got drunk last night. Otherwise, she wouldn’t be able to sleep at night, let alone eat.

Chi Shuyan rinsed her mouth again. She snuck a glance at the man behind her out of the corner of her eye through the mirror, and saw him standing tall and straight. His buzz cut accentuated his cold and hard profile. His thin lips were pursed tightly, and he looked cold and distant. At the same time, his steady eyebrows were inexplicably intimidating and sharp, and his eyes were very sharp and imposing.

This was the first time Chi Shuyan had seen him like this. She didn’t know if it was because she was feeling too guilty, or if the other party was too imposing, but her legs really turned to jelly.

To be honest, she had never seen this man’s cold and indifferent expression. Chi Shuyan didn’t say anything, but there was only one thought in her mind: She had probably offended this man terribly last night!

Chi Shuyan became even more determined to immediately call Brother Feng to ask what happened last night. Maybe she hadn’t done anything, or maybe she had accidentally done something intimate with him when she had gotten drunk, and this man had just happened to see and had misunderstood.

But if it was just a misunderstanding, would this man be so angry?

Chi Shuyan’s head throbbed for a moment. Looking at the man’s cold and sharp face behind her, her headache worsened. He didn’t speak, and the atmosphere between the two of them was awkward and stiff.

In the end, Chi Shuyan could only cough softly and pretend to be calm. “I’m fine. Why don’t you go back to the table and continue eating? I’m going to use the washroom!”
