Wei Ting now understood his mother’s meaning. He was a bit embarrassed and his face was a bit red, but he still thoughtfully picked up some meatballs for Shuyan as an older brother. Chi Shuyan didn’t think much of it and didn’t see the stiff face of the man next to her. She hurriedly took the bowl and smiled at Wei Ting. “Thank you, Brother Wei!”
Wei Ting’s ears immediately turned red. He placed the bowl of meatballs in front of Shuyan, pursed his lips, and said, “Sister Shuyan, eat more! What do you want to eat? Tell me, I’ll get it for you!”
The chopsticks in Qi Zhenbai’s grip immediately creaked.
Chang Qing’s son hadn’t gotten a clue before, but now that he had, she was very happy. If it wasn’t for the fact that there was a distinguished guest present, Chang Qing really wanted to probe Old Chi’s thoughts. She really liked Yan Yan; the more she looked at her, the more she felt that she was compatible with her eldest.
Looking at her eldest son put food into Yan Yan’s bowl from time to time as Old Wei spoke with the guest, Chang Qing couldn’t help but suddenly ask Old Chi in a low voice, “Old Chi, what do you think of my eldest?”
Talking with Wei Xiao on the side, Qi Zhenbai’s ears pricked up at Chang Qing’s words, and his face changed drastically and turned stiff. When he spoke to Wei Xiao again, he couldn’t even squeeze out a polite smile. The chopsticks in his hand were about to break at any moment, and his eyes were fixed on his future father-in-law and wife.
Chi Lingyan had been very satisfied with Wei Ting before. Now that there was an irksome and thick-skinned kid around, he found Wei Ting more and more pleasing to the eye. He hurriedly nodded and gave a thumbs up. “Ah Ting is a good kid!”
Seeing Ah Ting patiently pick up food for his daughter, Chi Lingyan was even more satisfied.
With a clatter, Qi Zhenbai accidentally smashed his glass on the table, spilling wine on the table and some on him.
“Chief Qi, are you okay?” Wei Xiao subconsciously wanted to change out the wine glass for him, and found a clean towel.
This action immediately attracted everyone’s attention. Chi Shuyan subconsciously wanted to help wipe the man, but when she thought of how her father was sitting next to her like a big mountain with his gaze fixed on her, Chi Shuyan could only turn her head and pretend not to see anything.
Chang Qing immediately stood up to help.
“I’m fine!” Qi Zhenbai gritted his teeth and spat out the words. He took the towel and wiped himself. As he wiped, he narrowed his eyes and stared straight at the kid who had been fawning on his wife and had been praised by his future father-in-law.
Wei Ting was baffled. Just now, he had noticed Chief Qi looking at him from time to time. Could it be that Chief Qi admired or liked him very much?
After this little episode, the atmosphere warmed up again. Chang Qing thought of how Old Chi had expressed admiration for her eldest just now and felt that there was a chance. She immediately smiled, and not long after, suddenly asked again, “Old Chi, then look at my eldest: Is he compatible with Yanyan?”
Chi Shuyan almost choked at Aunt Chang’s question. She had grown used to Aunt Chang trying to match her with the Wei family’s eldest brother these days, but she didn’t expect Aunt Chang to ask her father directly in front of Brother Wei tonight.
Was Aunt Chang… for real?
Qi Zhenbai’s face was already livid and dark at that moment. His face was taut and his usual calm expression was about to collapse. Looking carefully, the veins on his temples were faintly curving and bulging.
Chi Shuyan glanced at the man next to her, whose face was turning darker and darker, and cursed inwardly.
She was about to refute Aunt Chang, when her father suddenly said, “Ah Ting is a good child. He’s reliable and honest. If Yan Yan and Ah Ting really get together, I can indeed relax! It’s better than this young child being enticed by some person with evil intent!”
