Chi Shuyan didn’t know why her father was asking this. Her father was astute, and she didn’t deliberately try to talk up Qi Zhenbai. She told the truth and said that it was indeed the man who cooked at home when he was free.

“Has he taken you back to the Qi family?” Father Chi asked again.

Chi Shuyan nodded and counted on her fingers. “Yes. I’ve met everyone in the Qi family. Grandpa, no, Master Qi is especially amiable and good. Uncle and Aunt Qi are also good people.”

Speaking of which, the person Chi Lingyan had always admired the most was the only founding general left in China, Old General Qi. Thinking that his daughter had actually seen that old general, Chi Lingyan couldn’t help but be excited.

Chi Shuyan keenly sensed the fluctuations in her father’s mood and took a few more glances at him.

Chi Lingyan immediately restrained his expression. “How many times have you been there?”

“Three! Grandpa, Uncle, and Aunt told me to go back when I’m free!” Chi Shuyan said.

“Mm!”

Chi Shuyan wasn’t sure what her father meant by that. Did he agree or disagree?

She was still worried that her father would continue trying to kick Qi Zhenbai, so she said, “Dad, Qi… he’s drunk. He’ll stay here for one night at most, and he’ll go back tomorrow!”

Chi Lingyan didn’t want to stand up for that Qi kid. At the thought of how the kid wanted to snatch his daughter away from him, he felt disgusted. However, when he thought of that old general, Chi Lingyan’s cold face softened a bit and he suddenly said, “If he’s staying here tonight, so be it! Okay, Yan Yan, go back and rest first!”

Chi Shuyan’s eyes widened, and for one moment, she thought that she had misheard her father. It had to be pointed out that her father really disliked Qi Zhenbai. He was usually especially good-tempered, and really had never been that cold to anyone before.

In any case, Chi Shuyan was relieved. When she returned to her room, she glanced at the man who was pretending to be asleep on the sofa.

It was just that the sofa was very narrow for the tall and sturdy man. Chi Shuyan was worried that this man wouldn’t feel good when he woke up in the morning tomorrow, but she didn’t dare challenge her father’s authority now. No matter what, everything her father did was for her sake.

It was probably because her father, in a rare moment, had allowed Qi Zhenbai to stay, but Chi Shuyan relaxed and slept especially well that night.

When Chi Shuyan woke up the next morning, she didn’t forget about Qi Zhenbai. She hurriedly got out of bed and went to the living room. She didn’t see anyone, but she smelled food and vaguely heard voices in the kitchen. When she went over, she saw a certain man cooking porridge seriously with her father keeping an eye on him.

Qi Zhenbai didn’t know if it was nerves or something else as he wiped his cold sweat. After cooking the porridge, Qi Zhenbai brought it out of the kitchen. Wei Xiao came over especially early in the morning to find Old Chi, and happened to run into Qi Zhenbai coming out with the porridge.

Wei Xiao: …

Qi Zhenbai greeted his future father-in-law’s good friend enthusiastically. He placed the porridge on the table and asked, “Commander Wei, have you eaten breakfast? If you haven’t, you can eat here!”

Alarmed, Wei Xiao hurriedly waved his hands.

Qi Zhenbai knew that he was probably here to find his future father-in-law, so he said naturally, “My father-in-law is in the kitchen. Commander Wei, are you looking for him?”

As Qi Zhenbai spoke to Father Wei, he saw his wife, and his eyes lit up. However, his father-in-law came out with the dishes at that moment, and Qi Zhenbai couldn’t pay any attention to his wife as he hurriedly rushed forward to take the dishes enthusiastically. He said naturally and solicitously, “Dad, I’ll do it, I’ll do it! You rest! You rest!”

Wei Xiao: …
