Rebirth: Ghost Exorciser

1778 Couple’s Sweet Life

Qi Zhenbai turned pale with fright when he heard his wife pick up her pace. Afraid that she would rush, he hurriedly told her to slow down, and he would go get her. As he spoke, he immediately got out of the car and walked in the direction of the villa to get her himself.

Chi Shuyan was a bit helpless when she heard the man’s concern. It was such a short distance – did he still have to come in to get her?

The two met halfway. Seeing that his wife wasn’t running, but was walking on steady feet, Qi Zhenbai wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and sighed with relief. He immediately wrapped his arm around her and strode toward the front door.

Chi Shuyan didn’t know whether to laugh or cry at the way the man exaggeratedly wiped his cold sweat. She didn’t know that Qi Zhenbai really had been scared by his wife’s huge movements just now. He lowered his head to look at his wife’s feet, and was pleased to see that she was wearing flats and not heels.

The couple chose a porridge shop nearby, mainly because Chi Shuyan suddenly wanted to eat porridge and nothing else. Qi Zhenbai could only take her to a very good porridge shop nearby.

If he had known that his wife wanted to eat porridge, he would have cooked it himself at home. Although he wasn’t good at cooking, porridge wasn’t a problem. However, he thought that his pregnant wife just being stuck at home wasn’t good, and it wasn’t a bad idea to go out more.

To avoid too much noise, Qi Zhenbai specially booked a private room. The private room on the third floor was very quiet. Qi Zhenbai stuck close to his wife the entire time, touching her stomach every now and then. Chi Shuyan was ticklish and her stomach was still flat. When the man suddenly touched her, she was a little embarrassed but also wanted to laugh.

“What are you laughing at?” The man’s tone was solemn as he pretended to be serious, which made him look quite scary, but Chi Shuyan wasn’t afraid at all.

Not long after, the Qi family called again. It was Father and Mother Qi, mainly to ask if the couple had been eating well recently and about Chi Shuyan’s child and her appetite.

Compared with Father Qi’s concise words, Mother Qi chattered a lot more. “Zhenbai, Yan Yan is pregnant now. Although three months have passed, you can’t completely relax and occupy yourself with company matters. You have to pay attention to your wife and my precious grandson at all times! If you’re really busy, how about you send your wife back to the old residence when you have the time? I’ll take care of her. What do you think?”

Chi Shuyan wasn’t against going back to the old residence, but Qi Zhenbai couldn’t stand being without his wife. Besides, his father-in-law was in town, so it wasn’t appropriate for the couple to suddenly go back to the old residence. His father-in-law was always afraid of troubling the Qi family, so he definitely wouldn’t take the initiative to visit them. Thus, Qi Zhenbai turned Mother Qi without hesitation.

Since her son had firmly turned down her suggestion, Mother Qi didn’t dare bring it up again. In the end, however, Mother Qi was worried about her daughter-in-law and the unborn child. It wasn’t just Mother Qi; Father Qi was also very, very worried.

Father Qi had resolutely discussed the matter of the couple moving back to the old residence with the old man last night. Unfortunately, Grandpa directly refused with the excuse that “young people have their own lives,” and said that Zhenbai could take care of his wife. Father Qi was depressed and felt that the older his father got, the more blase he had become; he didn’t even care about his precious great-grandchild.

Actually, it wasn’t that Grandpa Qi didn’t care about the child in Chi Shuyan’s stomach; he also looked forward to the birth of the child day and night. He had raised Zhenbai himself, and Zhenbai was no different from a son to him. Moreover, Zhenbai was the eldest of the Qi family juniors, and the only one who was expecting a child at the moment. There hadn’t been a new baby born in the old residence for a couple of decades, so how could Grandpa Qi not look forward to it?

His anticipation could reach the stars.

However, he was well aware of Zhenbai’s extremely opinionated personality. Once he made a decision, it was very difficult for anyone to make him change his mind.

Moreover, Grandpa Qi had come to terms with many things in his old age. For example, many young people had their own way of doing things. Besides, his grandson and granddaughter-in-law were doing well outside, and Zhenbai could take good care of his wife. What was there to worry about?

He might as well take care of himself and wait another half a year before he held his great-grandchild. There was nothing wrong with that.

Saying more would be useless. Qi Zhenbai really had nothing to say to Father Qi, though he was quite grateful for Mother Qi’s concern for his wife. After saying a few words to Father and Mother Qi, he hung up. Chi Shuyan still wanted to greet her mother-in-law and father-in-law, but the man next to her hung up first.

Chi Shuyan stared. “What did Dad and Mom say? They want us to go back to the old residence?”

“By the way, Mom said that if I’m busy, she can send you nutritious tonics to drink every day. How about that, Wife?” Fortunately, Chef Li made tonics for his wife from time to time. Otherwise, Qi Zhenbai would really be worried, and the couple would have to move back to the old residence.

Chi Shuyan was too embarrassed to trouble Mother Qi to send them every day. She hurriedly waved her hand and said, “Don’t, don’t trouble Mom. After I got pregnant, Chef Li has been feeding me and the child in my stomach.”

Qi Zhenbai thought about it before he acquiesced.

Chi Shuyan then remembered about Song Yanru looking for her in the morning. She explained the matter to the man and asked searchingly, “I’ll go with her, and I’ll be back in five days. She was quite desperate when she made the request. What do you think?”

“You want to go?”

“I’m fine with anything!”

“Does she know you’re pregnant?” The man was expressionless, but he gave her a deep look. Chi Shuyan felt inexplicably pressured and guilty, and nodded honestly.

“Don’t go!”
