1672 Pregnant
Hearing his son-in-law Qi Zhenbai’s voice, Father Chi’s face instinctively darkened. He was talking to his daughter, so why did this kid suddenly come over?
At the thought that this kid had used some kind of trick to make his daughter change her age and obediently marry him, Father Chi was filled with anger.
His daughter was still young; why was this kid in such a hurry to kidnap her? If he had known that something like this would happen, he wouldn’t have shown this kid a good attitude in the military district.
He originally wanted to keep his daughter with him for a few more years. It was too early for her to get married even after her university graduation, let alone now.
The more Father Chi thought about it, the more displeased he became. If it wasn’t for the constant knocking on the door, he would have ignored the man outside.
Chi Shuyan’s heart ached a little for her man. Seeing her father’s displeased expression and how his slight good impression of Qi Zhenbai disappeared in the blink of an eye, she was helpless and had a headache.
Why did other father-in-laws and son-in-laws get along well, but when it came to her family… Chi Shuyan recalled that she had gone around her father to get married. She immediately felt very guilty.
She originally wanted to wait for the man outside to leave first so that she could continue putting in a good word for him, but who would have thought that the man wouldn’t stop knocking or calling out.
Chi Shuyan could only pretend not to see her father’s displeased expression. She deliberately said, “Dad, someone’s calling for you outside. Should I open the door for you?”
Without waiting for Father Chi to finish speaking, Chi Shuyan immediately got up and went to open the door. Sure enough, a certain man was standing outside. He was still dressed in a suit and leather shoes, and his face was quite serious.
The corners of Chi Shuyan’s mouth twitched when she saw how he was still dressed in the middle of the night. Before she could signal the man in front of her to leave first, she heard him ask in a deep and familiar voice, “Yan Yan, is Dad asleep?”
The way he called him “Dad” was incomparably natural. Those who didn’t know better would think that Father Chi was his biological father.
Chi Shuyan took another look at the man in front of her, then looked behind her guiltily. Father Chi finally spoke at that moment. He deliberately asked the obvious, “Yan Yan, who’s here so late?”
“Dad, it’s Zhenbai!”
After confirming that his father-in-law wasn’t asleep, Qi Zhenbai pushed the door open and went in very naturally. He called out very amiably, “Dad, it’s getting late. I’m here to collect my wife!”
Father Chi’s mouth twitched at Qi Zhenbai calling him “Dad,” and his face turned black.
Father Chi really hadn’t paid attention to the time when he was talking to his daughter just now. It really was a little late now. In addition, this was the Qi family residence, and the father and daughter had to wake up early tomorrow morning. No matter how dissatisfied Father Chi was, he had to suppress the feeling. He immediately waved his hand for the couple to leave, and said that they would talk tomorrow.
Qi Zhenbai took the initiative to say in a very gentlemanly tone, “Dad, I’m free for the next few days. Yan Yan still has to go to school tomorrow. When the time comes, I’ll take you around the capital. If you have anything to say, you can talk to me.”
Father Chi snorted coldly and didn’t want to continue.
Chi Shuyan felt that it was very necessary for the two men to cultivate their relationship. Moreover, with this man to accompany her father, she would feel relieved. She hurriedly said, “Dad, Zhenbai is right. If you need anything, you can look for him. Let him take you around for the next few days.”
Father Chi originally wanted to refuse, but in the end, he didn’t do so in front of his daughter. He only said, “We’ll talk about it tomorrow!”
Chi Shuyan could only nod. She hoped that her father would be in a better mood tomorrow and would gradually accept Qi Zhenbai and not take his anger out on him. Hopefully, the two of them could get along peacefully. Otherwise, she would have a headache in the future.
“Dad, Zhenbai and I will leave first, then?”
Father Chi found the couple very irksome together, so he simply waved his hand and told them to hurry up and leave.
Qi Zhenbai took in his father-in-law’s impatience with a deep and calm expression. Chi Shuyan subconsciously looked at the man next to her and heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that he was unperturbed by her father’s impatience.
She didn’t want to continue standing around with this man as an eyesore for her father, so she hurriedly tugged at the corner of the man’s clothes and told him to follow her.
“Be careful!”
“What?” Chi Shuyan was puzzled.
“Does your stomach still hurt?” the man asked seriously!
Chi Shuyan: …
Father Chi: …
Without waiting for Chi Shuyan to speak again, Qi Zhenbai suddenly wrapped his arm around her waist and carefully escorted her out. Those who didn’t know better would think that she was some fragile product.
Chi Shuyan hadn’t felt sleepy talking to her father just now, but she did now. She didn’t think much of it, nor did she notice her father’s shocked face.
Just as the two were about to go out, Father Chi suddenly got up and shouted, “Wait!”
Chi Shuyan immediately stopped in her tracks, wanting to know what else her father had to say. Unexpectedly, Qi Zhenbai patted her waist unhurriedly and said to her, “Go back to the room first. I have a few words to say to Father-in-law. He probably has something to say to me too!”
Chi Shuyan: …
“Be good and rest early, or it’s not good for your health. You can’t tire yourself out!” Qi Zhenbai reminded her and subconsciously looked at her stomach, which made Chi Shuyan even more stupefied and puzzled.
Father Chi was so angry that his hands trembled. What did he mean that his daughter couldn’t tire herself out?
After his wife went back to her room, Qi Zhenbai looked at his father-in-law calmly and said innocently and sincerely, “Dad, Yan Yan has been recuperating recently and can’t handle stress. It’s not good to sleep too late. If you have anything to say in the future, just look for me to talk to. Or, you can look for me and Yan Yan during the day.”
Father Chi hadn’t thought much of it before, but this kid in front of him was hinting too much now, so he couldn’t help but think too much. Could it be? Could it be…? An absurd thought suddenly flashed through Father Chi’s mind. Could it be that his daughter really was pregnant?
Before Father Chi could snap back to his senses, he pointed at the tall and strong kid in front of him with a shaky hand. He was so angry that his words were unsteady. “You… you… you… brat, have you already gotten Yan Yan pregnant?”
