Chapter 69: The Sleeping bag Is Useless and Will Only Take up Space
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Tang Li woke up in bed the next day. Thankfully, she was still sleeping in her sleeping bag. She stared at the ceiling and was dumbfounded. “So how did I wake up in bed?”
“Did Qi Yihan carry me up?”
“No way. He can’t be this kind. He was even pissed off when I hugged him.”
“Did I subconsciously use a magic spell to float up when I was asleep?”
“Will that scare Qi Yihan?”

At this thought, Tang Li looked around for Qi Yihan, but she couldn’t find him. She was a little worried. “Did I scare him away in the middle of the night?”
Then she quickly came out of her sleeping bag and got out of bed. Without even wearing her shoes, she started searching for Qi Yihan everywhere.
There was no one in the bedroom, in the bathroom, and on the balcony. In a state of panic, she dashed out of the bedroom.
However, as soon as she was outside the bedroom, she saw the man who came up from downstairs.
Qi Yihan sized her up from head to toe before his gaze landed on her bare feet. He frowned and said in a low voice, “Go put on your shoes.”
Only then did Tang Li feel that her feet were a bit cold. However, when she saw him, she finally heaved a sigh of relief and asked, “Did I do anything strange last night?”
Qi Yihan frowned and asked, “What strange things do you want to do?”
Tang Li stared at his face for several seconds, but she didn’t see any trace of surprise or fright on his face. She thought that perhaps she really did not use her magic power to float upon the bed. However, she was still confused as to how she got on the bed.
Qi Yihan seemed to have seen through her thoughts and said calmly, “Last night, you sleep-walked in the middle of the night and came out of the sleeping bag. Then you dragged the sleeping bag to the bed and went back to sleep.”
When Tang Li heard this, she was extremely embarrassed. She felt that he probably had seen her do all kinds of silly things last night. She didn’t even know that she had sleepwalking problems. “Well…”
Tang Li was so embarrassed that her toes curled up. By that moment, she wanted nothing more than to dig a hole to bury herself.
Qi Yihan stared at her toes with a frown. “Let me give you a piece of advice. A sleeping bag is not gonna work. It is not only useless but also takes up a lot of space.”
With that said, he turned around and said as he walked, “Hurry up and wash up and change. I’ll take you to a place later.
Tang Li looked at his back and wanted to ask where they were going. In the end, she gave up and went to wash up.
Standing by the mirror in the bathroom, Tang Li looked at the woman in the mirror and said to herself, “To begin with, his impression of me is already terrible anyway, so it doesn’t make a difference if I sleepwalk in front of him. As long as I’m not embarrassed, he will be the one who is embarrassed.”

After persuading herself, she smiled at herself in the mirror and got over with it.
When Tang Li went down, Qi Yihan was already sitting at the dining table.
“Good morning, Madam,” Butler Zhang greeted her.
Tang Li nodded at him. “Morning.”
She then sat opposite Qi Yihan and asked, “Where are we going later?”
Qi Yihan was surprised that she was no longer embarrassed. “To the antique street.”
“Eh? You have what I want over there?”
“I can’t guarantee it, but I know all the owners of antique shops. You can take your time looking for what you want.”
Tang Li was a little touched. This was the first time someone offered to help her.
Qi Yihan added, “You can take it as I’m returning the favor you did to Mr. Guo.”
Tang Li nodded. She did not think there was anything wrong with what he said and started eating.
After dinner, the two of them went to visit their father for a few minutes. The old man was very happy to see the two of them.
After they walked out of the old man’s villa, they hailed a taxi and went straight to the antique street.
The antique street wouldn’t be open until ten pm, so when the car drove in, it was cold and quiet.
Tang Li leaned against the car window and watched for a while before turning to Qi Yihan. “We’re here so early. Are the owners here yet?”
“You can go to my store and take a look. The others will come over around nine.”
Tang Li was relieved.
The car stopped at the entrance of an antique store called “Ancient Vibe.”
The door was already opened and two people stood outside. One was a middle-aged man and the other was a young man.
The young man was about the same age as her. He was wearing a shirt and a vest, looking fresh and handsome.
The moment the two of them got out of the car, the young man came over and greeted respectfully, “Fourth Uncle.”
Then, he looked at Tang Li and called out reluctantly, “Fourth Aunt.”
There were many branches of the Qi family. The Host didn’t care much about it before, so after being called by this person, she was a little confused as to who he was.
Qi Yihan reminded her, “Second Uncle’s grandson, Xue Enyang.”
Tang Li nodded at him.
Qi Yihan introduced the middle-aged man. “Manager Li.”
Manager Li quickly greeted the two of them, “Master, Madam.”
Tang Li nodded and followed Qi Yihan inside.
After the two of them walked in, Manager Li wanted to follow but was stopped by Xue Enyang. “Manager Li, watch out.”
Manager Li was dumbfounded. “Watch out for what?”
“Watch out for my Fourth Aunt. She must be having bad intentions coming with Fourth Uncle today. Maybe she wants to take away the good things in the store. Put away the good things later.”
Manager Li looked like he was in a dilemma. “Is… Is this appropriate?” If Master asked him to take it out, he would have to take it out.
Xue Enyang could guess what he was thinking. He patted him on the shoulder and promised, “Don’t worry, Fourth Uncle doesn’t like her at all. She must have played some tricks to get Fourth Uncle to bring her here. If she says she wants to see the best antiques later, bring her to see the bad ones. Anyway, don’t let her see those treasures in the store.”
Manager Li also heard something bad about Madam, so after thinking for a while, he nodded.
After entering, Qi Yihan said to Manager Li, “Take her to the warehouse and show her everything we have.”
“Um…” Manager Li peeked at Xue Enyang, not knowing what to do about his boss’s request.
Xue Enyang quickly gave him a look, trying to say, “Just don’t show her the best ones.”
Manager Li understood and quickly gestured for Tang Li to follow along. “Madam, please.”
The moment Tang Li followed Manager Li to the back, Xue Enyang could not sit tight anymore and started fidgeting.
“Fourth Uncle…”
Qi Yihan stopped him with a look and took out his phone to make a call.
“Mr. Wang, I’ll bring my wife to your shop to pick up a couple of antiques… Yeah… Okay, thank you.”
“Mr. Yang…”
…
After Qi Yihan made the call, Xue Enyang’s mouth was agape.. He couldn’t possibly bring himself to believe that his fourth uncle would bring Tang Li over to buy antiques for her.
