Chapter 818: Solicitous Shen Rongyin
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
When Chi Shuyan hung up and went to the kitchen to help her father, he wouldn’t even let her in, let alone cook.
Father Chi had always been in charge of cooking at home, and it was nothing for him. He only had his daughter bring out the dishes to the table.
Chi Shuyan was moved. Not only did she have such a good father, she also had an especially good boyfriend. The two of them pampered her so much that she was going to turn into a good-for-nothing.
Chi Shuyan wanted to help her father out more. At that moment, she couldn’t help but say deliberately, “Dad, I’m already so big. Don’t spoil me anymore. What if I get married in the future and can’t do anything, and my husband despises me for it?”
Of course, Chi Shuyan just wanted to share more of her father’s burden. As for getting married and her husband disdaining her, if Qi Zhenbai really spurned her for not knowing how to do anything, she would kick him out first.
Chi Shuyan thought that her father would think about it and agree. Who would have thought that his face would suddenly turn cold? “Why marry a husband who doesn’t know how to do anything but rely on a woman?”
Chi Shuyan choked. Nevertheless, why was it that the more she looked at her father, the more handsome he appeared? No matter how prejudiced she was against Shen Rongyin, that woman had good taste.
Just then, there was a knock on the door. Chi Shuyan saw the slight change in her father’s face. “Dad, who is it?”
Without waiting for Father Chi to respond, Chi Shuyan got up and immediately went to open the door, and she saw a familiar woman. Her eyes dimmed a bit and she feigned confusion. “May I know who you are?”
Father Chi had hardly been around these days because of a mission. Shen Rongyin had come looking for him from time to time. When she saw a young lady in Father Chi’s place, Shen Rongyin’s face changed drastically and the smile was almost wiped from her face. Nevertheless, she still held on to a gentle and easygoing expression.
Looking at the very pretty face of the young lady in front of her, she quickly recalled where she had seen this face before. Thinking of how this girl had been quite close with a very handsome and imposing man last time, and then thinking about the girl’s age, her smile widened a little, before she restrained herself. Her lips curved up and she said gently, “h.e.l.lo, young lady. My surname is Shen, and I’m looking for Captain Chi. By the way, what’s your relations.h.i.+p with Captain Chi?”
Chi Shuyan found the series of changes in the woman’s expressions very interesting. If she hadn’t been vigilant against this woman and smelled the thick scent of blood on her, she might really have thought that she was a harmless, gentle, and easygoing lady.
Chi Shuyan was about to speak, when Father Chi strode over at that moment. When he saw that it was indeed Shen Rongyin at the door, a complicated look appeared in his eyes. He subconsciously said, “Yan Yan, why don’t you eat more? I have something to discuss with Aunt Shen!”
Chi Shuyan said in her heart: It’s because you have something to talk to her about that I’m worried. Since her father had already said so, however, what else could she do? She could only go back to her seat and quietly listen in on the conversation outside.
Fortunately, she cultivated the Mystic Yin Arts, so her five senses were very sharp.
It wasn’t like she wanted to pry into her father’s private affairs, but she was really worried about him developing a relations.h.i.+p with Shen Rongyin.
Sure enough!
Not long after, she heard the solicitous voice of the Shen woman. Not only did she give Chi Lingyan some things, she also asked him out on a walk.
Even in front of that beautiful young face, Chi Lingyan’s eyes were clear and upright, and he didn’t necessarily seem affected by her beautiful face. He declined.. “Miss Shen, I’m sorry, my daughter just came to see me. I’m afraid I really won’t be free tonight! Also, I can’t take these things!”
