Chi Shuyan thought that given how the man had ignored her just now, he would probably turn around and leave without saying a word.

But the man didn’t leave. He just frowned and looked at her coldly. His voice was deep and imposing, as he said with a hint of a command, “Eat first!”

Chi Shuyan was usually very self-aware. She looked at the man in front of her, and in the end still obediently followed him back to the table to eat.

It was just that when they got to the table, Chi Shuyan was very embarrassed when she thought of what had just happened. Grandpa, Mother Qi, and the others were all concerned and told Qi Zhenbai to take good care of her.

Chi Shuyan was a little traumatized by the chili just now. Most of the dishes on the table were spicy, while the non-spicy ones were a little further away. This was also because she usually liked to eat spicy dishes very much.

As long as she came to the Qi family, they would specially put her favorite dishes in front of her. When she saw the chili in the dishes, her eyes and throat burned, but she buried her head in her food.

Not long after, a pair of chopsticks moved to her bowl from the side. Chi Shuyan lowered her head and stared blankly at the extra food in her bowl for a while. She tilted her head and snuck a glance out of the corner of her eye. She saw that the man still wasn’t looking in her direction as he spoke seriously with Father Qi and Second Uncle Qi.

Chi Shuyan had mixed feelings, but more than that, she was happy.

After dinner, Qi Zhenbai went to the study with the old man. Chi Shuyan didn’t disturb him, and found an opportunity to ask Qi Hao about Lin Haoxing.

Qi Hao had a shepherd dog at home. As he stroked its fur, he carefully replied to Chi Shuyan, “Sister-in-law, Haoxing is staying at Chengfu’s house for the next few days. I’ll pick him up tomorrow!”

He had left the little guy at Chengfu’s house because he had something on, and had forgotten about him after that. He originally thought about getting Wang Xuewen and Jian Chongying to take care of Xingxing for a while, but Jian Chongying was busy, and Wang Xuewen wasn’t reliable, so he was more at ease with Lu Chengfu.

Besides, even if Lu Chengfu wasn’t reliable, there was still Yu Jinzhou, right?

Chi Shuyan could tell that Qi Hao was feeling a little guilty, and he pretended not to see it. After all, Qi Hao could take care of the child for a few days, but he would probably feel stifled from taking care of him all the time. It was fine as long as Lin Haoxing was fine. She nodded. “Okay!”

After talking to Qi Hao, she returned to her room.

“Sister-in-law, you’re going to bed so early?” Qi Hao looked at the time. It was only a little past seven.

Chi Shuyan was still thinking about calling Brother Feng to find out what happened after she got drunk last night. She said a few perfunctory words to Qi Hao before returning to her room.

When she returned to her room, Chi Shuyan was about to call Brother Feng, when he called her first. The name “Brother Feng” flashed on the screen. She didn’t know if it was because of her guilty conscience, but she hesitated to pick up the call. If she didn’t, however, she would feel even more guilty. She gritted her teeth and immediately picked up Brother Feng’s call.

Feng Yuanlin’s tired voice came from the other end. “Shuyan, were you looking for me? What’s the matter?”

Chi Shuyan could hear the exhaustion in Brother Feng’s voice. Qin Qing’s matter was probably a huge thorn in his side. For one moment, Chi Shuyan was a bit embarrassed to disturb him and bother him with other things.

But tonight, a certain man’s attitude toward her was very strange and cold. Chi Shuyan was very uncertain. She apologized to Brother Feng and planned to make it quick. She probed, “Brother Feng, did I… get drunk with you last night?”

Feng Yuanlin didn’t understand why Shuyan was asking this, and nodded without thinking. “Mm! You were drunk last night!”

The more Chi Shuyan listened to Brother Feng, the more uncertain she became. She gritted her teeth and didn’t beat around the bush as she said, “Brother Feng, then after I got drunk last night, did I…” Go crazy and make a pass at you? She really couldn’t bring herself to say those words, so she simply corrected herself. “Then, did I do something I shouldn’t have after I got drunk last night?” For example, with you!
