Qi Zhenbai’s eyes darkened. Chi Shuyan was about to tell him about what happened to the bracelet on the other party’s wrist when she had been injecting spiritual energy, when Chi Lingyan pushed the door open. Seeing that his father-in-law was back. Qi Zhenbai immediately let go of his wife’s hand, got up with a straight face, and called out, “Dad!”
Qi Zhenbai had been calling him “Dad” a lot today, but Chi Lingyan still couldn’t help how his lips twitched at that moment. He was only a dozen or so years older than this kid, yet this kid still had the nerve to call him Dad?
Before, if Chi Lingyan had seen this kid take advantage of his daughter in public, he would have kicked him out long ago. Now, however, he thought of how this kid had not only looked after his daughter, but also said those words on his behalf to the Shen family.
No matter how much he disliked this kid, he accepted his good intentions with an expressionless face and grunted in response, which flattered Qi Zhenbai.
Chi Shuyan immediately got up and said, “Dad, you’re back!”
Chi Lingyan hummed and looked at his daughter with a complicated expression. Thinking of how his daughter had helped expel the corpse poison from Shen Rongyin, he couldn’t help but ask, “Yan Yan, is Miss Shen really alright?”
Chi Shuyan nodded. “Mm, the corpse poison in Miss Shen’s body is almost gone. She should be fine after resting for a few days! By the way, Dad, what happened today? How did that young lady from the Shen family just so happen to run into you?”
Chi Lingyan repeated what he said to Wei Xiao earlier to his daughter, and sighed. “It should be a coincidence. I dragged Miss Shen into it! Okay, let’s not talk about it anymore. Hurry and rest!” After a pause, Chi Lingyan suddenly said to Qi Zhenbai, “By the way, the sofa in the living room is too narrow and too small. The Wei family has space. Why don’t you stay at the Wei residence?”
Qi Zhenbai thought that his father-in-law still didn’t want to see him and wanted to drive him out, and his face changed drastically. Chi Lingyan took in the other party’s expression before he continued, “If you think this sofa isn’t small, it’s fine to sleep here. However, I think it would be more comfortable for you to sleep in Old Wei’s spare room.”
After listening to the latter half of his father-in-law’s words, Qi Zhenbai sighed with relief. He immediately turned down his father-in-law’s suggestion and said that he slept very well and was used to sleeping on the sofa.
The corners of Chi Shuyan’s mouth couldn’t help but twitch. She looked at the narrow sofa in the living room, which was less than 1.7 meters long, and then at the nearly 1.9-meter-tall man in front of her. She really didn’t think that this man was comfortable sleeping on this sofa.
But this man was willing, so there was nothing Chi Shuyan could do. She wanted to tell her father to let the man sleep on the floor in her room, but when she looked up and saw her father’s face, she immediately cringed.
Father Chi also compared this kid’s height with the length of the sofa, and pretended to say coldly, “Yan Yan, take this kid to your room to sleep on the floor!”
Chi Shuyan’s eyes widened in disbelief. “Dad…”
What was wrong with her father tonight?
Father Chi’s words were practically an unexpected surprise to Qi Zhenbai. His calm face almost collapsed, and he couldn’t suppress the curve of his lips. Was this his father-in-law indirectly acknowledging his relationship with his wife?
Qi Zhenbai heaved a sigh of relief, and Father Chi quickly changed the subject and said to his daughter, “Yan Yan, let this kid sleep on the floor. If he doesn’t behave himself tonight, tell me right away!”
Thinking about how his daughter had protected this kid all this time, Father Chi snorted coldly and said, “Even if you protect this kid, I can still hear any noise from next door!”
