Sending Fang Qingtian into a faint was barely enough to help Chi Shuyan vent her anger on her father’s behalf, but it still put her in a very good mood. At that moment, she finally thought of Qi Zhenbai. Afraid that the man might still be sleeping and would give himself away, Chi Shuyan hurriedly went back.
When she returned to the apartment on the third floor, Chi Shuyan heaved a sigh of relief when she didn’t hear her father.
But as soon as she pushed the door open and entered, she saw her father sitting on the sofa opposite a tall man with a cold face, not saying a word!
Chi Shuyan: …
Chi Shuyan was scared witless. Could it be that her father had caught the man in her room?
Her father suddenly asked coldly, “Yan Yan, who is this? Why is he in our place so early in the morning?”
Chi Shuyan subconsciously looked at the man sitting upright on the sofa not far away. He looked calm and his clothes were neat and tidy. Could it be that this man hadn’t been caught in her room?
Thinking this, Chi Shuyan relaxed. As long as her father didn’t know that this man had stayed in her room last night, it was fine. She absolutely couldn’t admit it. She hurriedly said, “Dad, this is my…” Friend. Before she could say the word, she met the man’s black and sharp eyes. She swallowed her saliva and immediately changed the word “friend” to “boyfriend.”
Seeing her father’s face turn cold, Chi Shuyan hurriedly explained, “Dad, don’t misunderstand. He just arrived this morning and came especially to see you. He said several times before that he wanted to meet you, but I wasn’t certain when he could come. The weather has been nice lately, and he was free, so I told him to come!”
“Did you say he arrived this morning?” Chi Lingyan stared expressionlessly at his daughter.
Chi Shuyan subconsciously nodded. At that moment, Qi Zhenbai coughed softly and was about to take the initiative to speak, when Chi Lingyan said expressionlessly, “I’m asking my daughter, not you!”
For the first time ever, Chi Lingyan was truly angry at his daughter. “How dare you nod? You said that this Qi guy only arrived this morning. Then, why did I catch him coming out of your room early this morning wrapped in your towel?”
Chi Shuyan never thought that her father would catch Qi Zhenbai in the act. Hearing that, she was dumbstruck and felt guilty. Her gaze fell on the man next to her, whose face was stiff but still calm.
Couldn’t this man look a little more ruffled after being caught?
Chi Shuyan immediately blushed and couldn’t say a word.
Just then, Qi Zhenbai, who was well-rested, said, “Father-in-law, I arrived at two in the morning. Yan Yan wanted to send me to a hotel, but I felt it was too far, so I rested in her room for the night! Don’t blame her, it was all my fault!”
The more Chi Lingyan thought about how his daughter had let a big man in last night, and how there had been a commotion in her room last night, the more he couldn’t calm down. The anger in his heart soared.
Although his daughter was an adult, she was still young to his mind. Not to mention living together, he couldn’t even accept her having a boyfriend.
So, no matter how outstanding, how good-looking or how well-mannered the man in front of him was, when he thought about how this man had walked out of his daughter’s room wrapped in her towel, Chi Lingyan couldn’t like him at all.
Qi Zhenbai’s taut face was calm, but in fact, he couldn’t help but curse in his heart. He had dreamed of giving his future father-in-law a good impression, but who would have thought that the man would just so happen to catch him in the act?
At that moment, Chi Lingyan directly sent him away. “Mr. Qi, I’m sorry, we still have matters to attend to at home, so we won’t keep you!”
Chi Shuyan: …
