Qi Zhenbai answered the phone.
Zhu Bocheng’s familiar voice rang out. “Zhenbai, I really didn’t do it on purpose. Back then, I didn’t expect the bag of rice which Sister Shuyan gave to me to be so precious. I didn’t even see the rice before my mother sent it to my grandma. You know about my grandma’s terminal illness. I guess my mom thought about my grandma’s poor appetite, so she sent that bag of rice to her. Who would have thought that after my grandma ate that bag of rice, not only was she rejuvenated, her terminal stomach cancer was also f*cking cured.”
When Zhu Bocheng got excited, he subconsciously burst out swearing. He paused before he continued, “Zhenbai, you know, when my mom just told me about this, I was dumbfounded. I thought she was kidding, but no matter how much she jokes, she wouldn’t joke about my grandma being sick. My mom said that people from the hospital now visit my grandparents every day and want to know what sort of remedy my grandma took. What remedy? If those people know the effect of the rice which Sister Shuyan gave me, they, no, the whole world would go crazy. So, Zhenbai, you must help suppress this news. Otherwise, it’ll be bad if other people covet what Sister Shuyan is capable of!”
After listening to Zhu Bocheng’s entire spiel, Qi Zhenbai knitted his eyebrows and was momentarily shocked. No matter how calm he was, when he heard that a bag of rice from his woman could cure Zhu Bocheng’s grandma of her terminal illness, he couldn’t hide his astonishment and even some shock.
But he swiftly curbed his expression, and after listening to Zhu Bocheng, Qi Zhenbai frowned deeply and said decisively, “Leave it to me!”
“Thanks so much, Zhenbai!” Zhu Bocheng heaved a sigh of relief after talking business, then suddenly smiled awkwardly and said, “By the way, Zhenbai, can you ask Sister Shuyan for another bag of rice for me? My mother sent that bag of rice to my grandma, and I didn’t even get the slightest taste!”
Zhu Bocheng became more and more pitiful as he spoke, but Qi Zhenbai knew very well that this boy was just pretending. His heart was in a bit of a mess at the moment and he wanted this brat to get lost, but he agreed. “I’ll ask for you!”
Zhu Bocheng was so moved. “You’re a real bro, Zhenbai. Hurry and marry Sister Shuyan! I’m thinking more and more that she’s a gold mountain. What if someone else benefits in the future? It’s still safer to marry her as soon as possible!”
“That won’t happen!” Qi Zhenbai’s eyes flashed viciously and he enunciated every word clearly, his tone domineering and possessive.
In Fuzhou, Chi Shuyan still didn’t know the stir which that bag of rice had caused. At the moment, she was sitting in the study and seriously drawing talismans. She went to the toilet halfway, and when she came back, she noticed that she had a lot of missed calls. Moreover, dozens of them were from that man, Qi Zhenbai.
Chi Shuyan immediately called back a few times, but none of them went through. Chi Shuyan was going to call Zhu Bocheng back instead, but it was too late at night, so she could only do it tomorrow.
Chi Shuyan returned to the study and continued to draw a few more talismans before returning to her room to sleep. It was late at night when she faintly heard knocking on the door. She thought it was an illusion at first, but her senses had always been very sharp. After a while, she confirmed that someone really was knocking on the door and it wasn’t an illusion.
She had no idea who would come looking for her in the middle of the night, and she was also sure that those heretics wouldn’t dare come and provoke her openly. Chi Shuyan casually put on a jacket, turned on the light in the living room, and then went to open the door.
When she opened the door, who else could it be but Qi Zhenbai?
Even by plane, it was still two hours from the capital to Fuzhou, not to mention the long journey from the airport to her house. Why had this man suddenly shown up travel-worn on her doorstep in the middle of the night?
Couldn’t he wait for daylight?
Chi Shuyan was filled with questions and thought that the man had encountered something urgent and needed her help. Just as she opened her mouth, the man at the door suddenly pulled her into his arms. His hug was so tight that her bones hurt terribly.
What on earth had provoked this man?
Chi Shuyan wanted to push him away, but couldn’t. After a moment of hesitation, she asked, “…What’s wrong? Why are you here now?”
