1693 Breaking Up Couples?
After her cousin left, Qi Yunchang cautiously entered the room in a daze. Unlike the usual cold, black and white hues of her cousin’s room in the past, it was more lively now and there were more furnishings, which made the room look especially warm. Her cousin’s cold and hard character had changed a lot.
Qi Yunchang didn’t spend much time with this cousin. It wasn’t that she didn’t want to, but she was shy. If she was as naturally outgoing as Qi Hao, she and Qi Zhenbai might have become closer long ago.
Chi Shuyan didn’t treat any of the cousins differently. When Qi Yunchang came in, Chi Shuyan immediately poured water for her. She also took out a lot of delicious food and placed it on the table. She exhorted Qi Yunchang not to be polite with her, and also found a topic to chat about.
Yunchang had a good personality, but in the end was too shy. After sitting for a while, she immediately found an excuse to leave. Chi Shuyan couldn’t keep her any longer, so she could only see her off at the door. She exhorted Qi Yunchang to come and find her if she needed anything.
“I understand, Sister-in-law!” Qi Yunchang nodded with flushed cheeks.
Seeing Yunchang run away, Chi Shuyan sighed and leaned against the door to think for a while. She didn’t even notice when Qi Zhenbai came back.
It was only when the man walked up to her and handed her the information that Chi Shuyan came back to her senses. Qi Zhenbai frowned slightly and glanced into the room, then asked, “Yunchang left so soon?”
“Mm, Yunchang is too shy. You probably look too stiff and cold on a daily basis, so Yunchang doesn’t want to have too much contact with me as her cousin-in-law!” Chi Shuyan glared at the man in front of her. Speaking of which, she felt that she was usually quite good and gentle, and was easy to get along with; there was no reason for Yunchang to be afraid of her. It was most likely because the man in front of Chi Shuyan was too difficult to get close to, so Yunchang subconsciously avoided him.
Qi Zhenbai couldn’t help but recall how the younger generation of the Qi family viewed him. Sure enough, his frown deepened. He pursed his thin lips tightly, and his face looked especially sharp. At a glance, he appeared to be a very unapproachable person.
Chi Shuyan had been with this man for a long time, so she naturally wasn’t afraid of him at all. Seeing his frown, she hurriedly rubbed his eyebrows and tried to smooth them out. She patted his shoulder and comforted him. “Okay, okay, don’t think too much. I was joking and talking nonsense just now. By the way, where’s my information?”
She still wanted to quickly resolve the matter of Yang Ji and the others.
Qi Zhenbai handed the information to his wife, and his frown deepened. Seeing that his wife was about to turn around and leave, he pulled her back. After hesitating for a moment, he suddenly asked, “Do I… really look difficult to get along with?”
Chi Shuyan didn’t expect the man to take her words seriously. When she saw him frown again, her heart ached. At first glance, however, this man was indeed very difficult to get along with. She couldn’t help but recall their first meeting. This man had been a gentleman back then, but her first impression was that he was very difficult to get along with.
Of course, she couldn’t say this. Afraid of hurting this man, she could only talk about Qi Hao. “No, no, you’re fine. If you weren’t easy to get along with, would Qi Hao, that rascal, want to stick to you all day long?”
If it wasn’t for the fact that this man was too strict with Qi Hao, she felt that Haozi would really be willing to get close to this man.
The man’s expression didn’t change much. On a closer look, his eyes were dark. At that moment, he stared unblinkingly at Chi Shuyan. Her scalp inexplicably turned numb. The next second, she heard the man suddenly ask, “Wife, do you… think I’m easy to get along with?”
Chi Shuyan was stumped for a second, then immediately nodded and blurted out, “If you weren’t easy to get along with, would I be willing to marry you?”
The man was very satisfied with these words, and he immediately revealed a smile on his originally expressionless face. When the smile deepened, his expression softened a lot, to say nothing of how good-looking he was. Chi Shuyan was already used to seeing his face, but she was still suddenly stunned by her husband’s looks.
Chi Shuyan took a deep breath and threw the thought to the back of her mind to calm down. She told the man to hurry up and get busy.
Pleased by what his wife said, Qi Zhenbai didn’t pester her anymore. He decisively handed the information to her and said that if she wanted, she could go to the study with him.
Chi Shuyan refused. She still had to make phone calls, and didn’t want to disturb the man’s work. After explaining, she told him to go to the study.
Chi Shuyan took the information from the man. Speaking of which, she was really curious about how Yuan Yuan read physiognomies.
Chi Shuyan went straight to the balcony and poured herself a large cup of water. She sat down and drank as she flipped through the information.
After she skimmed the information that her man had sorted out for her, Chi Shuyan almost spat out the water she had just drunk. She could only say that this Yuan woman was too strange.
The first few client cases that Chi Shuyan read about were quite normal. That Yuan woman indeed helped them to avoid bad luck.
It was just that when she was asked to divine the marriage fate of someone’s son, who knew what was wrong with this woman – as long as the son expressed that he really loved the woman, or if the young couple had an especially good relationship, that Yuan woman would immediately say that their birth characters didn’t match, and cause the couple to break up. Chi Shuyan was utterly speechless!
Chi Shuyan hurriedly scanned the information and counted at least a dozen of this type of case. Wasn’t this Yuan woman afraid of divine retribution for spouting nonsense like this?
