Rebirth: Ghost Exorciser

1771 Valentine’s Day

It was probably because she drank too much of the meat soup at the Qi residence before, but thinking about it now, Chi Shuyan felt a little sick. She hurriedly shook her head at the man next to her. Qi Zhenbai also turned Mother Qi down as his wife wished, and only said that they wouldn’t be going back today, but would in a few days.

Mother Qi was naturally very worried about the couple, especially about the child in her daughter-in-law’s stomach. She felt that although Zhenbai was mature, he was still a new father, after all. It was also her daughter-in-law’s first pregnancy, so she could only exhort the two on pregnancy-related matters. Qi Zhenbai wasn’t impatient; on the contrary, he listened to Mother Qi’s instructions about pregnant women with a serious expression.

It was said that men were especially captivating when they were working. At that moment, Chi Shuyan tilted her head and looked at the man’s serious expression. She felt that Qi Zhenbai was very captivating. The more she looked at him, the better he looked.

In the blink of an eye, a few days passed. Chi Shuyan was in a good mood these days. Her father and her teacher hadn’t left the capital. A day or two ago, her teacher suddenly said that she wanted to go back. Chi Shuyan had repeatedly urged her to stay, but her teacher hadn’t planned to do so. However, after one night, her teacher suddenly relented, which was a pleasant surprise. It was just that her teacher only stayed in the villa for a few days before she simply moved out to stay at a hotel.

She only told Chi Shuyan she had booked a room at a hotel after the fact. No matter how unwilling Chi Shuyan was to let her teacher stay in a hotel, there was nothing she could say. Besides, while her teacher to her was the same person who had treated her well in her previous life, in this life, no matter how close they were, her teacher just saw them as friends.

She understood that her teacher didn’t want to take advantage of her. What comforted her immensely was that the hotel her teacher had chosen was quite close to her villa.

Only then did she stop dwelling on the fact that her teacher had left to stay at a hotel.

Nevertheless, that made it really convenient for Chi Shuyan and Qi Zhenbai to spend Valentine’s Day together. If her teacher was around, she definitely wouldn’t be able to leave him alone at home.

Qi Zhenbai was also quite pleased that Miss Fu had read the situation and moved out. To be honest, he still didn’t understand his wife’s inexplicable favorable impression of Miss Fu; it was to the point that he felt that it was too much and he even felt that his position in his wife’s heart was threatened.

It was also because of Miss Fu that Qi Zhenbai felt that his wife was hiding something from him. After spending a year or two together, he knew very well that his wife was a wary person who took a while to warm up to people; it was only with Fu Qing that she was relaxed and unguarded. His wife couldn’t wait to pour her heart out to this woman every time. For this reason, he even specially had someone investigate what happened between his wife and Fu Qing.

What made him relax was that the other party hadn’t deliberately gotten close to his wife; it was in fact the opposite. Only then were some of his doubts about Miss Fu dispelled.

However, his wife’s sudden departure from the capital for S City and her taking the initiative to get to know Fu Qing and to even help her were still a mystery.

Of course, if Qi Zhenbai’s father-in-law hadn’t appeared and fallen for Fu Qing, he wouldn’t have given up so easily, and would have continued to investigate her.

But since his father-in-law was interested in this woman and her character was fine, he couldn’t be bothered to dwell on it. In short, given how much his father-in-law cared about this woman, she would most likely become his ‘mother-in-law’ in the future. He couldn’t afford to offend her now.

Moreover, he also understood that no matter how much his wife cared about this woman, the latter would be his father-in-law’s woman in the future.

He was very glad that the other party was a woman. Otherwise, given how much his wife cared about her, he really wouldn’t feel at ease.

Chi Shuyan didn’t know what the man was thinking at that moment. The young couple discussed where to spend Valentine’s Day tonight.

Qi Zhenbai said that he had already booked a restaurant.

“Hang on, if we’re going out to eat, then what about my dad?” Why did it seem like her father had been going out a lot recently, and would only come back late at night?

Qi Zhenbai had a very good idea of his father-in-law’s whereabouts, and didn’t need to investigate to make a guess. Since that woman had a good character, and his wife wanted his father-in-law to find a partner, he wouldn’t interfere much.

“Dad is probably busy with something these days. Shall I give him a call later?”

“What do you think my dad has been busy with recently?” Chi Shuyan could understand if it was in the military district, but in the capital, her father didn’t know many people. What could he be busy with?

Chi Shuyan really didn’t know much about this. She was convinced by her man’s words. In fact, it was good for them to spend Valentine’s Day alone. It was fine to be romantic once in a while!

Chi Shuyan thought it through and then nodded. “Okay, 6:30pm, right? I’ll take a taxi there. You go to the company first!”

Qi Zhenbai had long made arrangements at the company, so he wasn’t in a hurry. He didn’t agree to her taking a taxi herself, but insisted that she wait for him to drive back and pick her up. His tone was irrefutable.

In the end, Chi Shuyan could only nod in agreement. She hurriedly waved her hand for the man to not worry about her and to go to the company.

Qi Zhenbai was still a little worried about his wife being alone at home. Chi Shuyan could tell what the man was thinking. Ever since she got pregnant, he simply treated her like she was fragile. She was slightly irked but moved at the same time. She didn’t show it on her face, but feigned impatience. “Okay, okay, I’ll just be taking an afternoon nap at home. I’m not going anywhere. Hurry to the company and pick me up in the evening!” Thɪs chapter is updatᴇd by Noᴠelꜰire.nᴇt

“Mm!”

Before they left, the young couple kissed passionately for a few more minutes, mainly because Qi Zhenbai took the initiative to be clingy. Chi Shuyan passively endured the man’s non-stop kisses, and the air around them was sweet.

After the kiss, the man’s eyes were dark and a little reluctant. On the contrary, Chi Shuyan was more clear-headed when it came to relationships. She felt that since the two of them were together every day, there was nothing to feel reluctant about. Besides, wouldn’t they be able to see each other in the evening? She hurriedly chased him away. “Okay, that’s enough. Hurry and go to the company!”
