1669 Jealous Of Whom?
On the way, Chi Shuyan felt that there was something wrong with the man’s mood. She couldn’t say what was wrong, but she felt that his attitude toward her was a little cold.
Still, he would answer her seriously from time to time. He spoke little, but wasn’t perfunctory at all. She felt that she was misreading this man’s cold indifference.
Chi Shuyan couldn’t help but wonder in her heart. She couldn’t think of anything, so she simply couldn’t be bothered to dwell on it. She looked at the night scenery as they drove home. When they were almost at the Qi family residence, Chi Shuyan thought of something and couldn’t help but ask, “By the way, did Grandpa know that I left the old residence just now? He didn’t say anything, did he?”
Coincidentally, the man drove into the garage of the old residence by then. The car stopped, and the man pursed his lips before he replied, “Grandpa didn’t say anything.”
Chi Shuyan nodded. “Oh!”
She didn’t get out of the car right away. Worried about Qi Hao, she called him first. Qi Hao quickly picked up. Chi Shuyan asked, “Haozi, are you back? Your cousin and I have already returned to the old residence. Where’s Gu Yunzheng? Did you send him back?”
Chi Shuyan didn’t realize that as soon as she mentioned Gu Yunzheng, the face of the man next to her couldn’t help but darken again. On the other side, Qi Hao didn’t know what the atmosphere was like in his cousin and sister-in-law’s car. He said cheerfully, “Sister-in-law, I’m on my way back to the old residence. I’ve already sent him back.”
“That’s good!” Chi Shuyan was completely relieved when she heard that, and didn’t forget to exhort, “Drive back carefully!”
“No problem, Sister-in-law, don’t worry!”
The two chatted for a while longer. Afraid of distracting Qi Hao, Chi Shuyan hurriedly found an excuse to immediately hang up.
As soon as she ended the call, a rather bitter and deep voice rang out next to her. “Gu Yunzheng? Do you care about him that much?”
Chi Shuyan: …
Chi Shuyan was caught off guard and choked at the man’s words. For a while, she forgot how to reply. After a long while, Chi Shuyan realized that Qi Zhenbai seemed to be jealous of Gu Yunzheng.
Jealous of Gu Yunzheng?
Chi Shuyan was stunned again. After that, she looked up at the man next to her in a daze. The car headlights were still on, highlighting the man’s cold and hard face. On a closer look, she saw that the man’s expression was gloomy and unsightly. What could it be, if it wasn’t jealousy?
Without waiting for Chi Shuyan to reply, the man said with a livid face, “Do you have so much to talk about with Qi Hao?”
His tone was filled with deep jealousy.
The man had been jealous of Gu Yunzheng before, and was now jealous of his cousin. Chi Shuyan almost choked on her saliva. Cough, cough… Was this man really jealous or was he joking with her?
In her memory, this man was rarely jealous. He had always been very rational and calm, so it was unlikely that he would be jealous of Qi Hao.
Could it be that this man was deliberately joking with her?
Chi Shuyan thought about it, but didn’t think the other party had that sort of sense of humor. Her eyes fell on the man’s face. Seeing that his face was really gloomy and he wasn’t joking, Chi Shuyan’s first thought wasn’t to panic and explain, but to cover her face and laugh.
Did this man have to be so cute?
Afraid of hurting this man’s dignity, Chi Shuyan suppressed her amusement and looked at the man in front of her as she probed, “Husband, were you jealous of Gu Yunzheng and your cousin just now?”
Chi Shuyan looked eagerly at the man next to her. Qi Zhenbai’s face changed slightly and he immediately pressed the space between his eyebrows. He regained his composure and opened the car door. Before getting out, he patted her waist gently and changed the subject. “Come, get out of the car!”
With that, the man got out of the car first, but he didn’t go far. He stopped not far away with his back to her as he waited for her to catch up.
There was an overhead light up ahead. Chi Shuyan got out of the car and stared at the man’s straight back. Did he have to be so cute?
Why hadn’t she noticed this side of this man before?
Chi Shuyan walked over. Before she could hold his hand, the man reached out and wrapped his arm around her shoulders. It wasn’t too close nor too far a distance, and the man’s serious expression made it look like he was at work.
Chi Shuyan didn’t care about the man’s serious expression and took the initiative to wrap her arm around his waist. The man’s body stiffened, and he coughed softly and said in a serious voice, “We… have to be careful in public!”
After listening to the man’s words, Chi Shuyan couldn’t help but laugh again and simply pretended not to hear him. Following the man, she couldn’t help but probe again. “Husband, you still haven’t said if you were jealous of Gu Yunzheng or Haozi earlier.”
Qi Zhenbai: …
Seeing the man’s face freeze again, Chi Shuyan clutched her stomach and wanted to laugh. She no longer deliberately teased him, and let go of his waist. Not long after, when they were about to reach the old residence, the man beside her also let go of her shoulders, and the two entered the living room.
The two had just entered the old residence.
Sure enough!
The old man and Father Chi were still talking. The atmosphere between the two in-laws was very harmonious, and so was their conversation. Qi Zhenbai’s face was gentle and open. He took the initiative to greet his father-in-law. “Dad!”
As for Chi Shuyan, she froze when she saw her father. When he glanced at her, she felt even more pressure in her heart. She took a deep breath and called out to Father Chi, “Dad!”
