1467 Calling Qi Zhenbai
“Oh!”
“Sister-in-law, is there anything else?” Qi Hao probed.
“Has your cousin been busy recently?” Chi Shuyan asked.
Qi Hao was afraid that his sister-in-law had heard that something was wrong with his cousin, so he immediately denied it and replied, “No, no, my cousin has been especially relaxed recently! He comes home from the company on time every evening!”
Chi Shuyan: …
“Really, Sister-in-law, my cousin is especially idle!” Qi Hao said anxiously.
After confirming that Qi Zhenbai was fine, Chi Shuyan didn’t say much. However, since this man was so free but didn’t answer her call, did that mean that he wanted to keep his distance from her?
Chi Shuyan actually felt that when they were in the village, the man had been quite solicitous toward her, but in the blink of an eye, he wanted to keep his distance from her. She had probably misunderstood.
Fine, Chi Shuyan was conflicted. However, she was the one who had resolved to break up back then, and had planned to walk the cultivation path. Forget it, she couldn’t be bothered to think too much about relationships. Since the other party was fine, she wouldn’t pester him anymore. She would keep her distance!
Qi Hao didn’t know that his words had dug a huge pit for his cousin. Before Qi Hao could say anything else, his sister-in-law had already said goodbye and hung up.
After his sister-in-law hung up, Qi Hao felt uneasy. He sat on the couch and didn’t go anywhere. He wanted to ask his mother about his cousin, mainly if he was well and if he had woken up.
Unfortunately, Grandpa Qi had blocked all information about Qi Zhenbai, and only Father Qi knew a little. Qi Hao’s mother didn’t know anything at all. As soon as Qi Hao asked, Second Aunt Qi couldn’t help but say, “Kids shouldn’t ask so many questions!”
Qi Hao was a bit unconvinced and was about to lose his temper, when Second Brother Qi suddenly came downstairs. Qi Hao simply leaned toward his father and couldn’t wait to ask about his cousin.
Second Brother Qi also knew that his son and Zhenbai were closer than brothers. He wasn’t as impatient as his wife, and instead told him that Zhenbai had woken up.
Qi Hao was excited. “Dad, is my cousin really awake? Then I’ll go upstairs and see him now!”
Before Qi Hao could run away, Second Brother Qi hurriedly grabbed the kid and frowned. “Don’t disturb your cousin yet. We’ll see him later!”
Qi Hao didn’t notice that although his father said that his cousin had woken up, his frown deepened and his face was very solemn and unsightly. He found an excuse to send this kid away. After Qi Hao obediently left, Second Brother Qi’s wife sensed something wasn’t right and couldn’t help but ask, “What’s wrong? Is Zhenbai really awake? Are you okay?”
“He did wake up, but Celestial Master Zhang said that he’s taking Zhenbai back to Longhu Mountain!”
