Qi Zhenbai’s words broke the silence at the table. Everyone who had been staring blankly just now also saw what was going on. Grandpa Qi couldn’t help but look at Zhenbai’s wife, whose eyes were red from coughing. Without waiting for the others to speak, he waved his hand and hurriedly had Zhenbai take her to the washroom.
Wait, why go to the washroom?
The Qi family patriarch hurriedly had the housekeeper pour a few cups of warm water and bring them over.
Mother Qi was a worrier. Seeing how the chili had affected Zhenbai’s wife, how could she not worry? She was about to get up and go take a look, but couldn’t beat how solicitous Qi Hao was. He was the first to run over. He approached the washroom on the first floor worriedly, and heard the sound of splashing water and his sister-in-law’s earth-shaking coughs.
Mother Qi, Second Aunt, and the others also followed. Even the old man came over to take a look. Qi Zhenbai carried Chi Shuyan to the sink to rinse her mouth. The door was half-open. Seeing that the old man and his mother and father had come, Qi Zhenbai told everyone to go back and eat.
Grandpa Qi was a bit worried and asked again, “Zhenbai, is Yan Yan really okay? Why is she coughing so badly? Do you want a doctor to take a look?”
The old man was also anxious when he heard these coughs.
Mother Qi also nodded worriedly.
Chi Shuyan was simply too ashamed to face anyone at the thought of how she had been “murdered” by a chili. She was very embarrassed. She knew that the Qi family had come over because they were concerned about her, and she was also afraid that she would affect their appetite. She hurriedly said, “I… am fine, Grandpa, cough… cough… Dad…!”
Before she could finish speaking, she coughed hard again.
The man’s cold and majestic voice came from above her. “Be quiet”
Chi Shuyan: …
Qi Zhenbai’s tone wasn’t good, and Grandpa Qi, Father Qi, and Mother Qi outside heard it. They took turns scolding him for not being patient enough and for his bad temper!
Qi Zhenbai was silent.
Because she had gotten this man scolded, on top of the possibility that she had fooled around with another man last night, Chi Shuyan felt even more guilty. She didn’t have any confidence in front of this man. As she coughed, she raised her teary eyes and glanced at him. When she saw the man’s cold face, she started coughing again.
Chi Shuyan was very depressed as she coughed. She had ample fighting ability, but who would have thought that in her new life, she would be taken down by a chili? She was so embarrassed and aggrieved.
Fortunately, the man behind her convinced Grandpa Qi, Father and Mother Qi to return to the dining table to continue eating, and she heaved a sigh of relief.
At that moment, Qi Hao’s voice rang out. “Sister-in-law, do you want some water?”
For his sister-in-law, Qi Hao had even brought over a teapot and a cup.
Qi Hao’s voice had never sounded so heavenly to Chi Shuyan. Although she wasn’t coughing as badly as before, her stomach still burned because of the chili and felt very uncomfortable. She hurriedly nodded and said, “Yes… yes, Haozi, give… give me a cup of… water!”
Chi Shuyan hurriedly got up and was about to take the cup from Qi Hao, when he suddenly said, “Sister-in-law, the water may be too hot. I’ll test it for you!”
There was only one cup. Qi Hao was carefree and had just poured a cup of water and was about to test the temperature for his sister-in-law.
He looked up and saw his eldest cousin staring at him with cold, black eyes. His limbs turned to jelly and his heart pounded in fear. Recalling what happened after he once randomly praised his sister-in-law’s beauty, Qi Hao shuddered violently and hurriedly handed the cup to his cousin with shaky hands. “Brother, you can test the temperature for Sister-in-law!”
