At that moment, Chi Shuyan and Qi Zhenbai still didn’t know that Qi Hao that brat had dug a pit for them yet again and leaked their relationship.
Chi Shuyan ran to several long-established pharmacies before she managed to just barely gather the herbs for the low-grade Marrow Cleansing Pill. These herbs were already a hundred years old, but she had emptied more than half of her savings for them.
She had thought about buying a house in the capital before, but she now had to stay at that man’s apartment. But seeing how they were becoming more and more familiar with each other recently, she now enjoyed spending time with him.
She realized that even though Qi Zhenbai was domineering, he still cared a lot about her attitude and was willing to ask for her opinion on certain matters. At least, he didn’t forcefully make decisions on her behalf.
So, when this man was occasionally domineering, she could still understand with difficulty, and take a step back.
Of course, she didn’t plan to retreat all the way. There was still room for this man to be trained.
Her phone suddenly rang. Chi Shuyan’s eyes swept over the screen, and she picked up the call. Soon, a familiar, deep male voice rang out. “What are you doing?” Recently, the two hadn’t seen each other during the day, and often contacted each other on the phone.
Chi Shuyan replied, “I just came out of a pharmacy!”
The man’s deep voice sounded a bit nervous. “Are you sick?”
Chi Shuyan listened to the man’s tense tone and could almost imagine his frown. Afraid that he would be worried, she quickly said, “No, I went to the pharmacy to buy some things I need! Don’t worry about me. What about you? Have you eaten? Are you still at work?”
“Mm!” Qi Zhenbai used to be a workaholic and never thought that work was boring. After getting into a relationship, however, he couldn’t wait to go home every evening. When he thought about how his wife was waiting for him in the apartment, he was overjoyed and his efficiency in dealing with matters increased noticeably.
Chi Shuyan didn’t know that because her man had been in a good mood recently, the employees who trembled with fear under him were heaving huge sighs of relief these days. Even when the executives reported problems, the man on the other end of the line didn’t curse them to death, but just told them to go back and make the amendments.
His attitude was so good that they were overwhelmed. In the last few days, the company’s executives had been praying every day for the gods to bless the two of them so that they would never ever break up.
The two chatted for a while. In the end, Qi Zhenbai was still at work. He had taken advantage of some free time to call his wife, but he was still busy with other things.
Qi Zhenbai reluctantly hung up. Before hanging up, he didn’t forget his purpose. “When are you free to come and find me?”
Chi Shuyan wasn’t actually against going to the other company to find him. Although there were many eyes on them, since the two of them were getting along well, they couldn’t hide forever.
She was actually more worried that she would be disturbing him if she went. She thought about it, then said directly, “Will I disturb you if I go?”
Qi Zhenbai originally thought that his wife had been unwilling for their relationship to be exposed all this time. He was expressionless on the surface, but felt uneasy in his heart. He never thought that she would agree right away.
Qi Zhenbai was overjoyed. “Wife, why don’t you come over later?”
Chi Shuyan’s heart thumped a bit. Plus the fact that she still had something on, she hesitated for a moment before saying, “How about tomorrow or the day after? I still have something on today.”
He was already overjoyed that his wife was willing to come and find him. He didn’t force her and immediately agreed. “Deal!”
Only then did they hang up.
But not long after Qi Zhenbai hung up, the Qi family’s patriarch suddenly called him. Qi Zhenbai picked up right away, and Grandpa Qi’s anxious and hurried voice rang out. “Zhenbai, where’s your wife? When are you bringing her home for me to meet her?”
