They were already sleeping in the same room now. If they had to sleep in separate rooms, he wouldn’t be able to stand it.
Chi Shuyan also understood Mother Qi’s thoughts. It didn’t matter to her anyway. Now wasn’t the time for her to speak, so Chi Shuyan stood obediently on the side and said nothing.
Mother Qi was even more certain now that Zhenbai was too overbearing. Sure enough, Shuyan listened to Zhenbai.
Thinking this, Mother Qi felt even more aggrieved for Shuyan. Since Zhenbai had already spoken, however, Mother Qi couldn’t say much. Before she left, she specially instructed Zhenbai to take good care of his wife and to restrain his temper a little. She then said to Zhenbai’s wife, “If you have any grievances, you can tell me!”
Mother Qi looked at Chi Shuyan as if she was afraid that she would be wronged, and Chi Shuyan didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. She was moved. She used to be polite to Mother Qi, but now, she said affectionately, “Thank you, Mom!”
Mother Qi actually wanted to give a few more instructions, but seeing that it was late, she didn’t bother to nag anymore, and had Zhenbai take his wife back to the room.
Qi Zhenbai hummed in acknowledgment.
After Mother Qi left, Qi Zhenbai took his wife back to the room. Chi Shuyan heaved a sigh of relief at the Qi family’s forbearance tonight.
But when she thought of how she hadn’t seen the old man tonight, Chi Shuyan’s heart tightened again and she specially asked the man in front of her about it.
Qi Zhenbai sat his wife on his lap and gently brushed the hair off her forehead. “Don’t worry, Grandpa isn’t angry with you. It’s just that he still can’t accept it. He went back to his room first to sleep!”
Chi Shuyan immediately stood up. “Shall I go with you to explain it to Grandpa?”
Qi Zhenbai pursed his lips and smiled. “Don’t worry, Grandpa really isn’t angry at you. He’s just thinking about how he ran around showing off his great-grandchild after you got pregnant. His head hurts a little now.”
In fact, Qi Zhenbai really wasn’t worried about being honest with his family. His grandfather, his parents, and his family weren’t unreasonable people. Back then, his wife didn’t say she was pregnant herself. It was indeed the old man’s misunderstanding. His wife had simply been forced to put a square peg into a round hole. Besides, it wasn’t like he and his wife hadn’t tried to get pregnant after that.
Given all these, which family member, including his grandfather, would blame his wife?
At most, his grandfather was angry at him now and felt ashamed. He had been so proud of showing off his great-grandson back then, but now, his head hurt.
Chi Shuyan was sure that what this man said was true. She was also afraid of disturbing the old man’s rest at this late hour, so she made up her mind to apologize to him tomorrow morning. She couldn’t let this man bear all the responsibility.
As Qi Zhenbai spoke, his deep eyes fell on his wife’s soft lips, and his gaze grew hotter. Chi Shuyan didn’t notice, and continued to tell him that she had been given a fright just now. She also teased that Mother Qi was like her own mother, while he was like a son-in-law who had married into her family.
Without waiting for his wife to finish speaking, Qi Zhenbai pressed a large hand to the back of her head and kissed her fiercely. It had only been a day since he last saw her, but why did he still feel anxious every time he saw her?
Qi Zhenbai had never felt this way in his life. His heart surged with emotions, and he wished he could shrink his wife and keep her by his side at all times.
The man’s kiss was as domineering and powerful as his personality. There wasn’t a trace of gentleness in it. It was like a violent storm, and Chi Shuyan was like a flower being trampled on at that moment as she endured the man’s wild onslaught. Both her lower lip and tongue hurt terribly as the man sucked on them.
This man looked like he wanted to swallow her whole.
The more the man kissed her, the more heated he became. He had his wife wrap her legs around his waist, and he suddenly picked her up. With one hand, he ripped open the buttons on his wife’s clothes. The man was too strong, and the buttons fell to the floor. Just then, there was a knock on the door.
