1851 The Way to Coax Her Husband

Qi Zhenbai still didn’t say anything. This time, Chi Shuyan wasn’t the only one who felt uncertain – Qi Hao felt even more so. His sister-in-law had always downplayed things to his cousin, but he had told his cousin everything. How could his cousin not be angry?

It was a few hours after dawn when they dropped off Fang Yu and Lu Ningwen. Qi Hao also changed his mind about staying at his sister-in-law’s house. He found an excuse to get out of the car on the capital’s busiest street.

Chi Shuyan was still a little worried about Haozi. This kid hadn’t rested well for the past few days and hadn’t slept last night. She didn’t believe that he wasn’t exhausted. Before Qi Hao got out of the car, Chi Shuyan repeated, “Haozi, aren’t you coming back to the villa with us to rest first?”

Qi Hao immediately said, “Sister-in-law, I really have something on.” After saying that, he carefully looked at his cousin, whom he was afraid wouldn’t allow it anyway.

Fortunately, his cousin didn’t say anything.

It wasn’t that Qi Zhenbai wasn’t worried about Haozi, but now that they were in the capital, he didn’t have to worry about anything happening to this kid. Besides, looking at this kid’s guilty appearance, he most likely just wanted an excuse to get away, so he didn’t say anything.

After Haozi got out of the car, the atmosphere turned quiet.

Chi Shuyan subconsciously looked at the man next to her out of the corner of her eye. Seeing how cold his attitude was for the past few hours, she felt helpless. She had been about to wheedle at him to soften his attitude, but her phone pinged. She took out her phone and tapped on the message, only to see Haozi’s apology: Sister-in-law, I was wrong. I was too excited to see my cousin just now, so I told him everything that happened in the past few days. Sister-in-law, I was really wrong!

Chi Shuyan choked. Only then did she realize why this kid had gotten out of the car in such a hurry. It turned out that he had a guilty conscience.

When she saw how Qi Zhenbai didn’t respond to her earlier, she had actually been a little angry. Now, she didn’t dare have the slightest bit of ire in her heart. When the car stopped at a traffic light, she obediently admitted her mistake. “Husband, I was really wrong this time. Can you forgive me? I’ve been especially tired these past few days, and so has the baby!”

Chi Shuyan even deliberately touched her stomach in front of the man, which drew his attention.

It was a pity that Qi Zhenbai was really angry this time. It would have been fine if his wife wasn’t pregnant, but she was pregnant and still took such a risk without letting him know. How could he not be angry?

At the thought of what Haozi had said about his wife’s harrowing experiences at the old Liang family residence, Qi Zhenbai broke out in a cold sweat.

The man drove back to the villa without saying a word.

Chi Shuyan: “…”

Fortunately, even when the man ignored her, he was still very concerned about her health. Not long after lunch, he specially invited the private doctor from the old Qi residence to come over. This was a very capable old Chinese medicine specialist. He specially took Chi Shuyan’s pulse and confirmed that she and the child in her stomach were fine. Only then did Qi Zhenbai’s face look much better.

“Have a good rest first!” the man suddenly said, which flattered Chi Shuyan a little.

But the man didn’t stay for long before he went to the study. Chi Shuyan was bored by herself in the room.

She wondered when her father would formally introduce her teacher to her; she didn’t want her teacher to worry and think that she was reluctant to accept her.

Chi Shuyan couldn’t be any happier that her father could have such a good marriage.

She was thinking about her father when her phone suddenly rang. She picked it up from the table and glanced at the screen. Seeing that it was a call from Brother Feng, she hurriedly picked up the call and said happily, “Brother Feng!”

“Oh, Shuyan, I finally got through to you. What on earth have you been doing lately? I’ve been calling you every day for the past few days, but you never picked up,” Feng Yuanlin said.

Chi Shuyan could only give a rough account of where she had been and what had happened. After listening to Shuyan recount her experience of the last few days, Feng Yuanlin was especially scared. If he remembered correctly, Shuyan was pregnant, right?

Zhenbai allowed Shuyan, who was a few months pregnant, to go out alone to handle this sort of thing? The Qi family patriarch, Father Qi and Mother Qi would probably immediately explode if they knew.

Chi Shuyan had been ignored by her man all this time but couldn’t say anything. She could only honestly say that she was the one who had insisted on going, and Qi Zhenbai had no choice but to let her. She had even specially downplayed things to him, but had been caught out, and the man was now ignoring her.

Chi Shuyan couldn’t help but say, “Brother Feng, is there any way for me to coax my husband?”

Feng Yuanlin gloated and laughed out loud, but before Shuyan could get angry, he quickly said, “Don’t worry, Shuyan. I’ve known your husband for so many years, and I definitely know him the best. I’ll send you something in the evening. Pay attention and listen to me. You’ll definitely be able to coax your husband right away!”

Chi Shuyan’s eyes lit up when she heard this. She wanted Brother Feng to elaborate, but unfortunately, Feng Yuanlin seemed to be deliberately keeping her in suspense. He didn’t say much and just said that she would know what to do when she received his express delivery in the evening, and that it was a gift from him.

Chi Shuyan: “…”

“Okay, Shuyan, I have to pick up my cousin from the hospital now. That brat was discharged today, and my family asked me to go and pick him up,” Feng Yuanlin said.

Chi Shuyan was still very apologetic about Qi Zhenbai kicking Brother Feng’s cousin back then. She wanted to go with him, but Feng Yuanlin refused. “Shuyan, rest well. You don’t have to worry about that brat. Wait for my delivery in the evening!”

The two chatted for a while longer before hanging up.

After hanging up, Chi Shuyan was also a little tired and sleepy. She actually slept until evening.

When she woke up in the evening, Chi Shuyan didn’t forget what Brother Feng had said. It just so happened that she received a notification about the delivery not long after.

She immediately went to the villa entrance to get the express delivery.

After signing for the express delivery, Chi Shuyan went back inside and ran into a certain anxious-looking man. Qi Zhenbai’s anxious expression softened a lot when he saw her come in, but his face was still a bit serious and gloomy. “Where did you go just now?”
