1587 Chi Shuyan’s Remorse

Because she was taking care of Qi Zhenbai, Chi Shuyan didn’t sleep the entire night. Although the man on the bed didn’t get a fever, the more she checked his pulse, the more grim her face became.

The next morning, before the other party woke up, Chi Shuyan went to keep her appointment with Qi Hao, and asked Chef Li to help take care of Qi Zhenbai. Chef Li now had many trainees at Imperial Restaurant, so he didn’t have to be at the restaurant every day; he could still spare a day.

Chi Shuyan sent Qi Hao the address early in the morning before she went over.

When she arrived at the cafe, Qi Hao was already there. Chi Shuyan had booked a private room. Except for the waitress who came in at the beginning, the private room was very quiet.

!!

Qi Hao hadn’t seen his sister-in-law in a while, and was very excited to see her. His face flushed with excitement, and he immediately got up and called out, “Sister-in-law, Sister-in-law, I’m here.”

Qi Hao was the only one in the private room, so how could Chi Shuyan not see him? It had been a long time since she last saw Qi Hao. When she saw him again, she was in a very good mood. As soon as she sat down, she immediately gave him the menu and told him to order whatever drink he wanted; it would be her treat. “Have you eaten breakfast?”

Qi Hao immediately nodded to indicate that he had eaten, then took the menu and ordered what he liked. Chi Shuyan also ordered a cup of hot milk tea, and it wasn’t long before their drinks were served.

Compared with Qi Hao, who was in a very good mood, Chi Shuyan took a sip of milk tea absent-mindedly. She was quite worried about the unconscious man at home. Fortunately, Chef Li was at home to take care of him, so she was relieved.

“Sister-in-law, right, why are you looking for me?” Qi Hao took a sip of milk tea through his straw and smiled again. “Or did you suddenly miss me? I miss you very much too. Sister-in-law, when are you coming back to my place for a visit? With my cousin!”

Without waiting for Chi Shuyan to reply, Qi Hao hesitated for a moment before he continued, “Sister-in-law, are you and my cousin… really alright? You didn’t quarrel or break up, did you?”

To be honest, he had been very worried about his cousin’s condition recently. Fortunately, his mother said that his brother had gone to the hospital to see his grandfather several days ago.

“Hm?”

“Sister-in-law, if my cousin really provoked you in any way, don’t be angry with him, okay? My cousin has been especially pitiful recently, and a lot happened at home. Sister-in-law, do you still remember my fourth uncle?”

Without waiting for Chi Shuyan to ask, Qi Hao told her everything. However, when it came to his fourth uncle, Qi Hao still hesitated, not knowing whether to bring it up or not.

After thinking about it, Qi Hao finally decided to mention it. In any case, Sister-in-law would become part of the family sooner or later. After thinking it through, Qi Hao took a sip of milk tea and suddenly said, “My fourth uncle is already dead. It was my cousin who did it. But Sister-in-law, don’t misunderstand my cousin. It was my fourth uncle who colluded with an outsider and an evil cultivator to attack my cousin first. My cousin was just defending himself, and my fourth uncle deserved it. Because of this, my uncle and my brother fell out.”

Qi Hao told her everything. He had secretly heard some of this from his father. When he finished speaking, Chi Shuyan was shaken and shocked. Her hand shook, and some of the hot milk spilled on the table. She immediately wiped the spilled milk on the table with a tissue, but suddenly remembered that in her previous life, Qi Zhenbai had died early because of his fourth uncle. Her hand paused. This time, the cup overturned and rolled a few times on the table, spilling most of the milk.

Qi Hao was quick to help wipe the table with tissues. As he wiped, his lips trembled as he looked at his sister-in-law, afraid that he had agitated her.

A stupefied Chi Shuyan finally revealed some emotion on her face. Her face was deathly pale and her hands shook. After a while, she squeezed out, “What… did you say?”

After wiping the table, Qi Hao immediately sat back down and didn’t dare say anything else to agitate his sister-in-law, but she kept staring at him. In the end, Qi Hao had no choice but to tell her everything he knew. Of course, he deliberately hid the fact that his cousin had exterminated his fourth uncle’s family, and only said, “Sister-in-law… Sister-in-law, actually, my cousin is a very good person. If my fourth uncle hadn’t crossed my cousin’s bottom line, he definitely wouldn’t have done anything to him. Fortunately, my cousin is fine.” Otherwise, even if his fourth uncle died a hundred times, he wouldn’t be able to compensate for the loss of his cousin’s life.

Although thinking this way was slightly disrespectful to his elder, Qi Hao really didn’t have a good impression of his fourth uncle. Besides, even if his fourth uncle had a hundred brains, they couldn’t compare with his cousin’s one brain.

After Qi Hao said that, he quickly emphasized that his cousin was fine. Chi Shuyan’s pale complexion didn’t improve.

Wait!

In her previous life, the fourth son of the Qi family had yet to make a move at this point in time.

Chi Shuyan didn’t dare imagine how Fourth Uncle Qi had colluded with an evil cultivator to deal with Qi Zhenbai and put him in danger. She thought of how the man had died early in her previous life, and how strange his pulse had been when she checked it last night. She was still in shock.

Chi Shuyan’s heart ached with regret. She regretted getting angry with the man back then, and letting Qi Zhenbai face danger alone.

She then thought of how her rebirth had caused a butterfly effect, and everything had changed. Why did Fourth Uncle Qi act against Qi Zhenbai this early?

Chi Shuyan felt deeply remorseful at that moment. She regretted breaking up too easily back then, and was even more worried that the trajectory of Qi Zhenbai’s fate from her previous life would be repeated again.

She could still view their relationship calmly before this, but now that she knew that Qi Zhenbai might still die early in this life, Chi Shuyan’s whole body turned cold with lingering fear, and her fingers twitched.

After a cup of tea, Chi Shuyan left the cafe in a daze. Before Qi Hao left, he was still a little worried about his sister-in-law’s condition. He was afraid that revealing too much today would agitate her too much. Before he left, he hurriedly said, “Sister-in-law, don’t worry about my cousin. He’s fine now. He’s really fine. My grandfather sent him to Longhu Mountain for half a month. He’s almost recovered and is fine!”

Chi Shuyan was still in a daze when she heard the latter half of Qi Hao’s words. She jolted and thought of something. Her face changed drastically again, and she immediately asked, “When… was your brother sent to Longhu Mountain?”

Qi Hao gave her a date, and Chi Shuyan’s face turned even paler. No wonder, no wonder the man hadn’t replied to her messages.

At that time, she thought that the other party was avoiding her, but she never expected that the fourth son of the Qi family would cause that man to go to Longhu Mountain. She shouldn’t have doubted his feelings for her back then.

Although Qi Zhenbai’s feelings for her were a bit restrained, as the party involved, how could she not be aware how deep they were?

It was just that she hadn’t been willing to admit it back then, and had thought that she was so smart.

At that moment, Chi Shuyan felt unprecedented remorse.

She suppressed the shock and regret in her heart and parted ways with Qi Hao as calmly as she could. She also said that she would go back to the Qi residence with his cousin in a while.

“Sister-in-law, are you serious?” Qi Hao was overjoyed. He paused before he said, “Sister-in-law, have you made up with my cousin?”

Chi Shuyan forced a smile and said, “We didn’t quarrel! Your cousin stayed at my place last night!”

This news simply made Qi Hao wild with joy, and he was visibly happy. He was finally relieved and repeated excitedly, “That’s great! That’s great! That’s great! Sister-in-law!”

After a pause, he continued, “By the way, Sister-in-law, when are you and my cousin getting married? My grandfather has been dying to have a great-grandchild recently! He talks about it every day!”

If it were in the past, Chi Shuyan would have been embarrassed and immediately changed the subject. When Qi Hao asked this question now, Chi Shuyan said without hesitation, “When your cousin wants to register the marriage, I’ll go with him!”

Qi Hao was relieved at his sister-in-law’s attitude. The two of them did look fine, and even if they had argued, it was only a small quarrel. Qi Hao said cheerfully, “Sister-in-law, if my cousin heard you, he would definitely take you to register your marriage right now, but you’re not old enough yet!”

Chi Shuyan smiled and wanted to say that could be changed, but in the end, she didn’t say anything. Qi Hao got into the car and drove away, and Chi Shuyan looked blankly in the direction in which he left.

She had never really thought about registering her marriage with Qi Zhenbai before, but now, she felt that she could start thinking about it, as long as he was willing.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Chi Shuyan looked away. Thinking of the unconscious man at home, Chi Shuyan immediately called Chef Li, who confirmed that the man was fine, but still hadn’t woken up.

Chi Shuyan nodded, ended the call, and prepared to rush back to see him.

She really couldn’t relax if she didn’t go and see the man. However, just as she was about to take a taxi back to the villa, her phone suddenly rang. She hurriedly picked up the call, and Brother Feng’s voice rang out. “Shuyan, come quickly. Something happened again. Shuyan, can you help take a look?”
