1678 Husband, You’re So Good!
Xia Mingcheng reacted quickly and immediately sent Chi Shuyan out of the house. On the way, Chi Shuyan explained things to Xia Mingcheng. Hearing him say that he had already given everyone in his family a Safety Talisman each, Chi Shuyan wasn’t worried anymore.
Xia Mingcheng, on the other hand, was still very apprehensive about what might happen to his brother. He subconsciously wanted to ask for the details, just in case.
Chi Shuyan calmly refused. “There are some things that can’t be made too clear. Just tell your brother to remember what he shouldn’t do.”
Although she was now a cultivator who had jumped out of the path of karma, that didn’t mean she could really ignore the heavens.
Xia Mingcheng was also a smart person. Sensing something strange from her expression, he didn’t ask anymore. Seeing that the Master in front of him was about to take a taxi, he hurriedly said, “Master Chi, I’ll drive you. Wait for me for a while!”
“No, there’s no need. You should go back and think about how to comfort your mother and brother first. I’m afraid they won’t believe it very much. Just pay more attention to them for the next few days!” After Chi Shuyan refused, she took a taxi and left the neighborhood.
After leaving the Xia residence, Chi Shuyan didn’t return to the university, but took the taxi to a familiar store and bought some more yellow paper to draw high-level Tracking Talismans in the evening.
After buying what she needed, she went back to school.
The afternoon passed quickly. As soon as Chi Shuyan left school in the evening, she saw a familiar car nearby. When the car window rolled down to reveal the man’s familiar handsome face, Chi Shuyan pursed her lips and smiled before she immediately got into the car.
At first, she thought that her father was also in the car. She didn’t expect that it would only be Qi Zhenbai.
Chi Shuyan: …
Chi Shuyan couldn’t help but ask the man next to her, “Where’s my dad? Why didn’t he come with you?”
Given her father’s character, he probably wouldn’t trouble the Qi family much, nor would he be willing to linger long at the old residence. She had planned to take her father back to her villa tonight, where he would be freer to move around. As for the old residence, she would go back for dinner with this man before returning to her villa.
Chi Shuyan was lost in thought, when the man next to her said in a deep voice, “Dad suddenly received a call this afternoon. He has something urgent to attend to, so he could only go back to the military district first!” At his wife’s stunned gaze, Qi Zhenbai took the initiative to add, “Before Dad left, he said that he would come back to the capital right after dealing with the matter and continue discussing our wedding with the old man. He said to tell you not to worry!”
Chi Shuyan choked at the man’s last sentence. Who was the anxious one here? Still, Chi Shuyan’s attention was drawn to her father’s sudden departure from the capital.
Her father came and went like the wind, and had to return to the military district at the last minute. He probably really had something urgent to attend to, so Chi Shuyan couldn’t blame him. Chi Shuyan tilted her head and asked, “Do Grandpa and Dad know?”
Qi Zhenbai naturally knew that his wife was referring to his father. His eyebrows relaxed and he nodded. “Mm, Grandpa and the others know. Before Dad left, he let Grandpa know.”
Chi Shuyan nodded. “Okay.”
While the man was driving, Chi Shuyan took out her phone and immediately called her father. She tried a few times, but the calls didn’t go through.
She felt a little helpless and worried, so she could only call Uncle Wei. She didn’t have much hope and planned to call the Wei brothers and Aunt Wei if she couldn’t get through to Uncle Wei. She didn’t expect the call to really go through. When she heard Uncle Wei’s familiar voice, Chi Shuyan immediately greeted him and asked if her father had arrived at the military district!
Wei Xiao was also very surprised that Shuyan had called him. After listening to her question, Wei Xiao immediately replied, “Yan Yan, is it really you? Don’t worry, your father just arrived at the military district. I said hi to him in passing earlier. By the way, Yan Yan, are you okay?”
Wei Xiao couldn’t help but think of how his good friend had suddenly rushed to the capital with a grim face. He was really worried that something had happened.
Chi Shuyan could hear Uncle Wei’s worry and immediately understood. “Uncle Wei, I’m fine. Everything’s fine in the capital. It’s nothing serious.”
“That’s good! That’s good!”
After confirming that her father had really arrived at the military district, Chi Shuyan heaved a sigh of relief. She asked after Aunt Wei and the Wei brothers, and spoke to Uncle Wei for a while before hanging up.
Before hanging up, Uncle Wei praised, “Shuyan, the spirit rice which you sell on Taobao is really too good. It tastes good and is especially good for health. Your Aunt Wei and your brothers have been in very good health recently. Thank you so much!”
Uncle Wei now really knew the value of the things in this niece’s Taobao shop. Not only was there spirit rice, there was also spirit tea. A few days ago, she had sent some to his family. He didn’t actually like tea and had been a little reluctant to try it, but who would have thought that he would become addicted after trying it once?
The more he drank the spirit tea, the better and more comfortable his body felt. After drinking it a few times, his wife felt as if she had become much younger.
If he wasn’t afraid of drawing too much attention and dragging this niece down, he really would have promoted her Taobao shop more to his friends.
Chi Shuyan didn’t know of Uncle Wei’s thoughts. The two chatted for a while longer before hanging up.
After hanging up, Chi Shuyan said excitedly to the man next to her, “My dad is already in the military district!”
“Mm, I know!”
“Wait, how do you know?” Chi Shuyan looked at him in surprise.
Qi Zhenbai felt helpless at his wife’s dismissive attitude earlier. How could he be at ease when his father-in-law left for the military district in a hurry?
If something really happened to his father-in-law on the way, he wouldn’t be able to explain himself to his wife. Naturally, he couldn’t be careless about such an important matter.
In the end, Qi Zhenbai could only explain that he had sent someone to secretly follow his father-in-law to the military district. When his father-in-law arrived, someone would naturally report the news to him immediately.
Chi Shuyan beamed brightly and said to the man next to her, “Husband, you’re the best!”
The tall man’s hands shook slightly at her praise. Coincidentally, there was a red light up ahead, and he immediately stepped on the brake and stopped. The man was expressionless, but on closer look, his ears were a little red. He replied indifferently, “Mm!”
