1787 The Old Liang Family Residence (5)

As soon as she returned to her room, Chi Shuyan immediately called her man. The man was working in his office. As soon as he received the video call from his wife, he immediately stopped what he was doing. Although he still looked serious, he was quite pleased that his wife had taken the initiative to call him. The slight smile on his lips never faded.

“Husband, I’ve arrived. This is my room!” Chi Shuyan showed Qi Zhenbai the layout of the room, including the bedroom and the washroom.

Although the room wasn’t big, it was clean and she was quite satisfied.

She deliberately avoided showing him Qi Hao because she was afraid that the man on the other end of the call would be unhappy. If that happened, she wouldn’t be able to find another place for Qi Hao to stay.

When Qi Hao saw his sister-in-law video call his cousin, he was very well-behaved. He sat on the side and watched his sister-in-law and cousin endlessly torture him, a single man. He didn’t dare let his cousin know at all that he and his sister-in-law were in the same room. Given his understanding of his cousin and his possessiveness toward his sister-in-law, his cousin would rather throw him out than let him stay in the same room as his sister-in-law.

So, Qi Zhenbai really didn’t know that his wife and Qi Hao were in the same room. After taking a rough look at his wife’s accommodations, the man frowned tightly and looked very displeased.

The main reason was that he was dissatisfied with this small and simple room. Someone had actually arranged for his wife to stay in such a simple and crude place? He simply couldn’t stand it. His thin lips were pursed tightly, his eyebrows were especially sharp, and the pressure around him seemed to drop.

How could Chi Shuyan not understand what the man was thinking? She immediately explained, “Everyone’s rooms are about the same size, and there are others that are smaller.”

Only then did Qi Zhenbai’s expression soften a lot. He also knew that his wife wasn’t someone who would suffer grievances. He hummed softly.

“The scenery here is pretty good. I’ll send you photos when I’m free. Husband, remember to miss me!” Chi Shuyan pursed her lips and smiled. Not to mention that she actually missed this man a lot at the moment, she missed him even more after the video call.

Qi Zhenbai obviously felt the same, and his face softened as he replied, “Wife, I miss you. Come back soon. Take good care of your health. If you need anything, just tell Haozi to do it!”

Qi Hao was caught off guard when he heard his cousin say so gently that he missed his sister-in-law. He was so shocked that he almost spat out the water he had just drunk. D*mn, he didn’t expect his cousin to be like this with his sister-in-law. Not only was he so gentle, he wasn’t as taciturn as usual. He was like a completely different person.

Qi Hao’s sudden movement naturally caught Qi Zhenbai’s attention. The man’s gentle expression suddenly turned cold again, and his deep voice was inexplicably imposing. “Who is it?”

Chi Shuyan immediately explained, “It’s Haozi!” She also handed the phone to Qi Hao for the two cousins to talk.

When Qi Hao saw his serious-looking cousin in the video, he instinctively cowered and he immediately stuttered and explained, “Cousin, I… I just dropped by Sister-in-law’s room for a while. I’ll leave later, I’ll leave later!”

“Mm!” Qi Zhenbai hummed coldly and quickly had Qi Hao return the phone to his wife.

Qi Hao didn’t dare question the difference in his cousin’s att.i.tude toward him and his sister-in-law at all. Fine, as an outsider, he should leave first. He really didn’t want to stay here and be a third wheel to be abused.

Since it was still during the day, Chi Shuyan didn’t worry about letting Qi Hao go out. She only told him to be back before 6pm.

“I will, I will!” Qi Hao immediately said.

When Qi Hao went out, the young couple continued to be lovey-dovey. With his wife around, Qi Zhenbai wasn’t worried that something would happen to Qi Hao at all. All his attention was on his wife’s body and the child in her stomach. After confirming that his wife’s face was rosy and that the child was fine, they chatted until their phones were almost out of battery before the young couple reluctantly hung up.

It just so happened that she was a little sleepy, and the weather was good for sleeping. Chi Shuyan simply lay down on the bed and took an afternoon nap. She didn’t expect to sleep until almost 6pm in the evening.

When she woke up and washed up, she saw that Qi Hao had yet to return. She frowned and opened the door to go out and find him.

As soon as she opened the door, she saw the kid and two other guys coming back. The three of them were deep in conversation. Compared with Qi Hao’s fiery and enthusiastic expression, however, the two guys on the side looked a little embarra.s.sed.

When the three heard the noise, they immediately turned around.

Seeing that it was his sister-in-law, Qi Hao immediately called out, “Sister-in-law.”

After that, he immediately turned around to ‘do business.’

Chi Shuyan heard the kid say, “Really, my sister-in-law is an especially awesome Celestial Master. She also draws Exorcism Talismans. They’re especially useful for warding off evil. 50,000 yuan per talisman. You won’t be able to get another one after this. Don’t save that bit of money. These things are especially useful. You’ll definitely regret it if you miss out on them!

“Also, this place looks quite creepy to me. You can buy this thing now to ward off evil!”

Chi Shuyan: …

In the end, who knew if it was because Qi Hao was too good at talking or if the two of them felt that the atmosphere was too awkward and wanted to just shut this kid up with some money, but Chi Shuyan saw the two young men really buy an Exorcism Talisman each. After they bought the talismans, they immediately excused themselves and went back to one room, shutting the door firmly behind them.

“Brat, when did you become so short of money? You’re still using my talismans to make money?” An ordinary Exorcism Talisman cost 50,000 yuan each; even she didn’t dare ask for so much.

Qi Hao was immersed in the fact that he could make money with w.a.n.g Xuewen’s talismans. He said excitedly, “Sister-in-law, how can I be stupid enough to sell your talismans to someone else, and at such a cheap price of 50,000 yuan each? These really aren’t your talismans, Sister-in-law. These were drawn by that rascal, w.a.n.g Xuewen. He said they seem a little useful.”

Chi Shuyan: …
