Chapter 1104: Chi Shuyan’s Flattery
“Just leave it here!” The man’s tone was still cold. He didn’t say if he would drink it or not, and continued working with a serious face.
Chi Shuyan stood there for a while. The study was filled with the sound of the man typing busily on the keyboard. The atmosphere was deathly silent and awkward. She stood awkwardly with a stiff face. Seeing that the man didn’t touch the cup of milk for a long time, she was afraid of disturbing him, so she could only go out first.
Chi Shuyan didn’t know that as soon as she left, the man behind her stopped and stared at her back with a complicated expression for a long time without saying anything. His eyes were deep and dark.
Fine, if one cup of milk didn’t work, then two cups. Chi Shuyan made up her mind to coax him properly today. She really wasn’t used to this sort of interaction.
Half an hour later, Chi Shuyan went downstairs to heat up another cup of milk and brought it upstairs. On the way, she ran into Mother Qi. When Mother Qi found out that Chi Shuyan had heated the milk for Zhenbai, she looked at her even more gently and said that this child really knew how to take care of people. Chi Shuyan was so ashamed that her hand trembled and she almost dropped the cup of milk on the tray.
It just so happened that the housekeeper was still there. When she came out, she said that Chi Shuyan had already heated up a cup of milk earlier. She praised Chi Shuyan’s virtue and Qi Zhenbai’s good fortune.
Mother Qi looked at Chi Shuyan even more gently.
Chi Shuyan, on the other hand, felt pressured by the words of Mother Qi and the housekeeper, especially when she heard the latter praise her for being virtuous. Thinking about how she didn’t know how to cook at all, she couldn’t figure out what virtue the housekeeper was seeing.
As for Qi Zhenbai being blessed, Chi Shuyan, who had almost cuckolded him, felt even more guilty, and hurried upstairs with a stiff face.
She didn’t know if it was because of Mother Qi’s words, but Chi Shuyan reflected that ever since she started dating Qi Zhenbai, she was indeed unqualified as a girlfriend. Although she had a lot of skills and could catch ghosts, her girlfriend points were basically zero. Most of the time, it was the other party who took care of her.
Chi Shuyan carried the hot milk to the study door and knocked again. The man’s deep voice rang out again. “Come in!”
Chi Shuyan carried the tray in and saw that the man hadn’t taken a sip of the milk at all. Chi Shuyan couldn’t help but feel a little disappointed. She saw that he wasn’t engrossed in typing this time, but was smoking.
The study was filled with the smell of smoke. Chi Shuyan couldn’t help but cough a few times. Qi Zhenbai, who was sitting in a chair, didn’t hesitate to crush the remaining half of the cigarette in his hand in an ashtray. He looked up and saw the woman in front of him place a cup of hot milk on the table. He frowned a little, and his eyebrows seemed to be filled with impatience. “Is there anything else?”
Chi Shuyan subconsciously shook her head and was stunned when she met his impatient gaze.
This time, she didn’t go out. As if she didn’t see the impatience in the man’s eyes, she stood on the side and let him drink the milk first. She glanced at the ashtray full of cigarette b.u.t.ts and counted them, and couldn’t help but advise, “Smoking isn’t good for your health! It’s better to smoke less!”
The man said nothing.
Chi Shuyan didn’t want to nag, so she said, “Okay, drink this cup of hot milk. I won’t disturb you anymore!”
The man glanced expressionlessly at the milk on the table, picked up the cup, and downed it in one gulp, then continued working expressionlessly.
Since he had already done that, Chi Shuyan couldn’t be thick-skinned enough to stay any longer. She took another look at the expressionless man in front of her.
She very much suspected that this man had drunk that cup of milk very quickly because he didn’t want to see her.
Was he that impatient with her?
Before she left, Chi Shuyan wanted to pretend to be calm and ask:?Do you really mind me and Brother Feng that much? I was drunk. I have a good character and I’m loyal.
It was just that her legs were weak and she didn’t have the guts!
