Chapter 424: Returning to the Old Residence (1)
After getting confirmation from Qi Zhenbai, Chi Shuyan’s status in the Qi family was like that of the national treasure, the panda. Even when she was just walking, Grandpa Qi never looked away, and Mother Qi helped her daughter-in-law all the way back to the main hall of the Qi residence.
Chi Shuyan was stunned by Qi Zhenbai’s reply. She had no idea what he was up to.
Weren’t they going to come clean with everyone? Why was she now almost a month pregnant? Why didn’t she know?
Her whole body stiffened as she returned to the main hall of the Qi residence. There was no smile on her face and she couldn’t pull one out. She held the man’s hand tightly with her other hand and didn’t let go.
Qi Zhenbai let her grip his hand as he put his arm around his wife’s waist and walked to the main hall.
Second Aunt and Third Aunt teased, “This couple is really close!”
Second Aunt continued, “In the past, I thought that this boy, Zhenbai, had a cold personality. I didn’t expect that he would be someone who really doted on his wife!”
Qi Zhenbai’s expression didn’t change, but Chi Shuyan’s face became even stiffer after hearing what Second Aunt said. How should she act now?
However, Chi Shuyan didn’t feel good when she thought that she had to fool Grandpa and the rest of the Qi family.
Father Qi, Second Uncle, and Third Uncle also came over. Although Father Qi didn’t dote on his son, and was a little in awe of him, it wasn’t a distant relationship. Father Qi looked at his daughter-in-law’s belly and was very excited. He praised Chi Shuyan a few times.
Chi Shuyan: What do I do? I want to cry even more now.
Qi Zhenbai sat on the side and chatted with Grandpa Qi, Father Qi, and Second Uncle. Everything they talked about had to do with his wife’s pregnancy.
Chi Shuyan looked at him. She had thought that this man felt as guilty as she did. Who knew that he would lie about her pregnancy without a single change in expression. He was calm and his meticulous words had no loopholes in them.
If she wasn’t sure that she was still a virgin and nothing had happened between them, she would have thought that she was pregnant!
Chi Shuyan didn’t say anything. She sat beside the man and listened to them talk.
Second Uncle Qi couldn’t help but ask, “Zhenbai, I remember that your wife just entered Yanjing University. You’re really something. Your wife just got into university, and you already did this to her. Don’t tell me you want your wife to go to school pregnant?”
The more Second Uncle Qi thought about it, the more he felt that Zhenbai, this boy, was really amazing. In the past, he didn’t like women, but now that he had a girlfriend, he got her pregnant!
It was just that she was too young; Zhenbai was too impatient, getting her pregnant now!
Normally, Third Uncle Qi didn’t dare tease this powerful nephew of his. Now that he had such a rare opportunity, he couldn’t help but join in the fun. “That’s right, Zhenbai. Now that your wife is pregnant, what about her studies? Your wife is so young, how could you get her pregnant?”
Qi Zhenbai was afraid that his wife would feel awkward. Coincidentally, Second Aunt Qi brought over a bowl of nutritious kelp and pigeon soup, and patted Chi Shuyan’s hand to have her drink it first.
When his wife was some distance away, Qi Zhenbai’s gaze never left her as he deliberated for a while, then said without a change in expression, “At that time… I couldn’t help it. But although my wife is pregnant, I have no intention of making her drop out of school. We can talk about the rest later!”
Chi Shuyan had sharp senses. When she heard the man say “I couldn’t help it,” her face turned white, then purple. Her head throbbed fiercely, but she was relieved when she heard that the man didn’t intend to make her quit school.
If she really ended up dropping out of school, she would vomit blood!
