Chapter 821: Solicitous Shen Family

After replying to Father Chi, Chi Shuyan made another video call. She felt even guiltier this time.

Sure enough!

She saw an expressionless, cold, and resentful man in the video. Chi Shuyan covered her mouth and apologized. “I really didn’t mean it! My hand slipped!”

The man’s deep voice rang out. “Wife, do you really hate me seeing Father-in-law so much?”

Chi Shuyan pursed her lips and smiled. “My dad thinks that since I just entered university, I should study hard, and he won’t let me have a boyfriend. The main thing is if I suddenly tell him that I have a boyfriend, and he finds out that we got together not long after I graduated high school, what is he going to think? He’ll think that you’ve been eyeing me while I was still in high school. What if he thinks you like seducing young girls?”

Qi Zhenbai: …

Of course, after her previous life, Chi Shuyan didn’t think she was young, but her father really thought she was. Moreover, she and Qi Zhenbai were eight years apart in age, so her father might really be unable to help imagining other things.

In the end, Qi Zhenbai made up his mind to settle all his matters in a day or two and personally pay a visit to his future father-in-law. When the time came, he would leave a good impression on his future father-in-law. In short, he had to make his presence known.

If his father-in-law fretted over his daughter and suddenly felt that the son of a comrade was good, he might suddenly make an arrangement with another family. This kind of thing was common in the military.

He had to at least let his future father-in-law know who he was.

Chi Shuyan had no idea what the man was thinking. Her father was next door, and the soundproofing wasn’t good. Occasionally, her father would suddenly ask her loudly who she was talking to.

Chi Shuyan was scared out of her wits. She cut short her conversation with the man and quickly hung up, preparing to sleep and cultivate.

She now habitually circulated her spiritual energy when she slept, letting it flow through her limbs and bones to keep her meridians clear. Thinking of the various Nourishment Pills and spirit rice which she had brought for her father, she had to find a time to have a good talk with him and examine his body.

Perhaps it was because she was used to sleeping in the same bed as Qi Zhenbai, but it felt empty and she didn’t sleep well. The only advantage was that she could cultivate freely and didn’t have to worry about being suddenly woken up by the man.

Chi Shuyan woke up the next morning at 9am and was in good spirits. She had just eaten breakfast with her father and was about to take his pulse, when the two were invited over by a few young guards, one of whom was Shen Rongyin’s sister-in-law.

Shen Rongyin’s sister-in-law was called Chen Jing. She was especially cordial toward Chi Shuyan in particular. Chi Shuyan had always believed in the saying, “One who is unaccountably solicitous hides evil intentions.”

Sure enough!

Soon, she and the stupefied Father Chi arrived at the main hall of the Shen residence. Chi Shuyan’s right eyelid twitched. At that moment, the gray-haired Father and Mother Shen were sitting on the couch.

Father and Mother Shen doted on their daughter, Shen Rongyin, very much. They also knew that she especially liked Chi Lingyan recently. Mother Shen had even specially investigated him, but when she learned that he was a divorcee and had a daughter, she wasn’t pleased. However, when she thought about how her daughter was old and had been married twice, but both husbands had died, Mother Shen could only give in. Besides, her daughter liked him!

Mother Shen especially doted on her precious daughter. She had given her daughter whatever she wanted since she was young. In addition, Father Shen especially admired Chi Lingyan, so Mother Shen also hoped the two of them could be together.

Moreover, which part of her daughter’s looks and family background was bad? Who would have thought that Chi Lingyan would turn her daughter down right away? Mother Shen’s eyes were displeased, but she greeted the two with a fake smile. “Captain Chi, your little daughter is really lively and beautiful.. Is she still single? Shall I introduce her to someone?”
