175. The Naked Man
Wei Sama, Let's Stuff Them With Dog Food[1]
A man undressed was on Qi Leâanâs bed! This was so astonishing that Chen Shan immediately called Qi Leâan.
Qi Leâan didnât answer it.
He put on his clothes with a bitter face and walked to the living room. After making sure that there wouldnât be anything strange, he called Chen Shan back.
Chen Shan was speechless.
Qi Leâan cried, âBrother Chen! Please hear me out!â
Chen Shan said coldly, âMom said that a naked man was on your bed.â
Qi Leâan was startled.
AÂ naked man?
âImpossible!â Qi Leâan shouted, âDid Godmother say that? Wei Sama only exposed one arm!â
Chen Shan thought about it and agreed with him. Then he said, âTo quote Momâs words, there is an undressed man on your bed.'â
That only one arm was exposed was interpreted as an undressed man and even a naked man by Chen Mama.
Qi Leâan marveled at how the rumor was created. He tried to defend himself and said, âBrother Chen, trust me. Only one arm was exposed!â
Chen Shan snorted, âI donât care. You explain to Mom on your own when she arrives!â
Qi Leâan didnât know how to explain this, so he asked, âWhen are you coming?â
âI booked the air tickets for the day after tomorrow,â Chen Shan said with a tired face, âMom wants to bring a lot of things for you. The sooner we set off, the fewer things she will bring.â
Qi Leâan couldnât help but feel touched.
After hanging up, he ran back to the bedroom. Wei Changfeng was already dressed. Seeing Qi Leâan bitter face, he asked, âHow is it?â
Qi Leâan said with a grievance, âOnly an arm was exposed! How can Brother Chen say there was a naked man on my bed?â
Wei Changfeng was speechless.
âGodmotherâs flight will take off the day after tomorrow,â Qi Leâan counted with his fingers and said, âIt happens that they will arrive on Tuesday!â
Wei Changfeng nodded and asked, âHow many days will they stay here? Letâs book the hotel for them.â
âI forgot to ask about itâ¦â Qi Leâanâs attention was focused on the ânaked manâ so he didnât ask about any serious issue. âBut Godmother and Sister should be free. Brother Chen will probably go back early. How about booking the rooms for one week?â
Wei Changfeng browsed the hotels on his iPad and said, âI shall book the nearby hotel. We can drive if we want to go out for fun.â
Qi Leâan nodded in agreement. This was the first time his family came to the US to visit them. For the moment, he was a bit nervous.
Wei Changfeng browsed three or four hotels online, and Qi Leâan crossed out two of them. The last two hotels were good. The rooms were bright and there was baby service. The two of them decided to take a look before making a decision.
Qi Leâan grilled the bread and smeared it with blueberry sauce. Then, he also prepared milk for him and Wei Changfeng. After breakfast, Wei Changfeng drove to the hotel.
The two hotels were close, and the receptionist was quite enthusiastic, but as to one of the hotels, only the rooms facing the streets were left. Qi Leâan felt the rooms could be rather noisy. Hence, they booked the other one.
The other one was a suite with two bedrooms, a living room, a small kitchen, and a washroom.
âWe should buy some snacks and fruits before Aunty arrives,â Wei Changfeng said after checking the suite, âDo you prefer to let them eat at home or out?â
âLetâs take them out to eat,â Qi Leâan thought for a moment and said, âThey should be quite tired from coming here. We can take them to grab a bite and let them get over the jetlag first. Then, we invite them to our house the next day?â
Wei Changfeng also felt taking a plane could be tiring so he agreed with a nod.
In the evening, Qi Leâan contacted Chen Shan again and learned about the specific flight time. Besides, he also told Chen Shan that the hotel had been booked and everything was ready.
Hearing this, Chen Shan laughed. âOh, you have grown up these two years! You even know how to book hotels for us.â
Qi Leâan snorted and asked, âHow long will you stay here?â
âOne week,â Chen Shan answered, âHave you confirmed the date of signing?â
Speaking of this, Qi Leâan looked bitter and said, âNot yet. Let me ask tomorrow?â
Damien who usually acted decisively finally slowed down his pace. After Qi Leâan agreed to sign the contract, Damien took no action anymore. Qi Leâan didnât know what was going on now.
Chen Shan pondered for a moment and said, âForget it. Donât ask about it until you still get no updates when we arrive.â
Qi Leâan also felt that it was better not to urge him.
After arranging the visit of Chen Mama and her baby daughter, Qi Leâan and Wei Changfeng discussed where to take them for fun. The baby girl was still young so they had a lot of things to consider. As they discussed, Qi Leâan felt that it was necessary to prepare a set of baby care products the next day.
Afterward, Qi Leâan fell asleep as he said this. The iPad almost hit his head. Wei Changfeng gently took it away, covered him with the blanket, and turned off the light.
In the darkness, he looked at Qi Leâanâs sleepy face, thinking that Qi Leâan had been worried for a day but didnât get to the point.
Since Chen Mama said there was a naked man on the bed, given Qi Leâanâs personality, he should be wondering how to tell Chen Mama about their relationship.
To Wei Changfengâs surprise, Qi Leâan didnât seem to care about it at all.
The next day, he took Wei Changfeng out with great interest and bought a bunch of things for babies. He also felt that the princess dress was nice, so he couldnât help but buy two of them. Since he prepared a gift for his sister, he had to buy a gift for his godmother. The two of them went to the mall to buy Chen Mama a high-end custom-made dress.
They spent the whole day shopping.
During dinner, Wei Changfeng finally couldnât help but remind Qi Leâan, âLeâan, I have something to ask you.â
Qi Leâan stuffed the pizza into his mouth and asked, âWhat is it, Wei Sama?â
âDoes Aunty know about us?â
Qi Leâan choked on the pizza and took a big gulp of juice. âI donât know⦠but itâs not a big deal.â
Wei Changfeng was confused.
Qi Leâan smiled and said, âWeâre married! No, we are engaged. Anyway, we have put on the rings on each other!â
Qi Leâan raised his left hand and showed the shining ring on his finger.
âWhen Godmother sees it, she will understandâ¦â Qi Leâan turned his head and smiled at the ring, saying, âIf she doesnât understand, I can only ask Brother Chen to explain to her.â
In any case, Chen Shan had known their relationship. Qi Leâan could use his help anyway.
Knowing Qi Leâan was so open-minded, Wei Changfeng felt that he was relatively narrow-minded, so he smiled and said, âOkay.â
Qi Leâan looked at Wei Changfeng with a smile in his eyes and thought for a moment, saying, âAre you worried about anything?â
Wei Changfeng shook his head. âIâm not worriedâ¦â
Qi Leâan smiled and said, âWei Sama, donât worry. My godmother⦠She is a nice womanâ
What Qi Leâan didnât say was that no matter how his godmother was close to him, she was not his real mother. Yet, Wei Changfeng was his most important man in the world.
In his eyes, nothing could be compared to Wei Changfeng in the world.
Chen Shan and his family arrived in New York at three in the afternoon. Qi Leâan got up early and went to the hotel. After arranging the gifts, he went to the airport with Wei Changfeng.
Chen Mama was holding her baby daughter while Chen Shan was pushing the luggage. Qi Leâan saw the three of them from afar.
The three of them flew first class this time so they had a good rest on the plane. Hence, they looked quite well when they got off the plane. Chen Mama also saw Qi Leâan among the crowd and walked over with a smile on her face, âLeâan! Have you been waiting for a long time? It took such a long time to get our luggage back! Let me have a look! My son is getting more handsome!â
The baby girl was dressed in a pink dress and her skin was fair-complexioned. She looked at Qi Leâan with her big eyes.
Chen Mama smiled. âDo you not know him? Heâs your brother.â
Qi Leâan also joked with the child, âYou donât know me now? Iâm so sad!â
Unexpectedly, the next second, the baby girl opened her arms and asked for Qi Leâanâs hug, saying in a childish voice, âAn, I love you!â
Everyone burst out laughing. Even Wei Changfeng could not help but laugh. Chen Shan also said banteringly, âUngrateful soul!â
Qi Leâan took his sister from Chen Mama and introduced Wei Changfeng to her, âSis, this is Wei Sama.â
Chen Mama saw Wei Changfeng from the beginning, but she was so excited to see her godson that she forgot about Wei Changfeng for the moment. At this moment, she shifted her focus to Wei Changfeng. Somehow, she recalled the arm on Qi Leâanâs bed.
The baby girl stared at Wei Changfeng for two seconds and suddenly buried her head in Qi Leâanâs arms. Chen Mama finally spoke, âHuh! Our baby girl is shy now!â
Qi Leâan didnât expect this to happen, so he couldnât help laughing. Chen Mama was still carrying a bag. Wei Changfeng took it naturally and said, âHello, Aunty.â
He acted so smoothly and Chen Mama subconsciously handed the things in her hand to Wei Changfeng.
She saw the ring on Wei Changfengâs finger when she handed the bag to him.
As she turned her head, she found her godson was wearing the same ring on his finger.
If she still didnât know their relationship, she would be stupid.
Astonishment churned inside Chen Mama. She couldnât help but glance at Chen Shan. Chen Shan looked left and right and pretended not to see her.
Chen Mama was lost for words.
Everyone present was smart, so how could they not know that Chen Mama had noticed it? Qi Leâan pretended that nothing had happened and said, âMom, shall we eat first or go back to the hotel to rest?â
Chen Mama was in a mess, so she was not in a mood to eat. âLetâs go to the hotel first⦠There were airline meals offered on the plane, so Iâm not hungry at all.â
Qi Leâan nodded and said, âOkay. We have fruits at the hotel too. Letâs go to the hotel first.â
The four of them left the airport and Wei Changfengâs car was parked in the parking lot. He and Qi Leâan came here in a five-seat car. As the car was filled with a bunch of things and one of them was carrying the baby girl, it seemed a bit crowded.
Luckily, the traffic was smooth. It was about half an hourâs drive to the hotel. The doormen helped them carry the luggage. The baby girl wanted her mother to hold her in her arms as she got sleepy. Qi Leâan finally freed his hands.
Chen Mama remained silent all the way, which was unlike her usual nagging style. Qi Leâan saw her from the rearview mirror. She had something on her mind.
Qi Leâan sighed inwardly.
They went upstairs together. Qi Leâan gave the room key to Chen Mama. As soon as Chen Mama entered the door, she was dumbfounded to see the fruits and snacks on the table, a small playground fenced for the baby girl and the present on the sofa.
Seeing this, Qi Leâan smiled and said, âItâs Wei Sama who prepares all of these. Do you like them?â
The baby girl looked at the small swing and Barbie dolls within the babyâs protective fence and reached out to play with the things. She giggled and said, âYes, I do!â
Qi Leâan smiled and said to Chen Mama, âMom, Wei Sama, and I even picked a dress. I think it suits you very much. Would you like to take a look?â
Chen Mama was so touched that she couldnât utter a word now. She nodded and said, âSure!â
