Chapter 248: When Will You Bring Your Wife Home?
Qi Zhenbai didn’t expect his relations.h.i.+p to be exposed so quickly. He thought about it and concluded that Qi Hao, that rascal, had probably once again said something he shouldn’t have to his grandfather!
While Qi Zhenbai was deep in thought, Grandpa Qi continued, “You rascal, how can you actually hide this from me? If Haozi hadn’t let it slip, would you have kept this from me the whole time?”
Qi Zhenbai rubbed the s.p.a.ce between his eyebrows. He did want to take his wife back to the Qi family’s old residence, but he was worried that he would scare her away. The two of them had been getting along harmoniously these days, so Qi Zhenbai was very pleased. Thus, when he heard Grandpa Qi’s words, Qi Zhenbai said, “Grandpa, she’s shy. I’ll find an opportunity to bring her to see you in a few days!”
“What’s there to be shy about? We’re all family, so you might as well bring her back tonight!” Grandpa Qi’s att.i.tude towards the family’s younger generation was about the same, but he valued and liked this grandson the most. For one thing, it was because of this child’s health, and for another, this child had been with him since childhood, and was practically raised by him. The feelings naturally were different.
Grandpa Qi had always been worried that this child was too mature and too indifferent, and was also a workaholic. He was just afraid that this kid wouldn’t be able to find a wife when he was thirty.
Although he wasn’t thirty yet, he was almost there. He would occasionally worry for this kid. Who would have thought that this kid would stun them by finding a wife he liked himself? Grandpa Qi had truly been overjoyed and excited when he heard about it from Haozi.
He himself didn’t have high demands, nor did she need to be of equal social standing. He just hoped that this child would be able to find someone who understood him well enough to take care of him and had a clean background and a good character. Most importantly was that Zhenbai himself liked her.
He still believed in Zhenbai’s judgment.
Seeing that this kid didn’t respond, Grandpa Qi couldn’t help but say, “Were you going to wait until your wife’s belly is big and can’t be hidden anymore before you told me?!”
Qi Zhenbai really looked forward to the scene his grandfather was describing. His heart moved slightly, and he continued, “Grandpa, about that, it’s just that she’s still young!”
Grandpa Qi was really frightened by this kid’s words. He was really afraid that this kid had found a minor. He hurriedly asked, “How old is that child?”
“She just graduated from high school this year and just got into Yanjing University in the capital!” Qi Zhenbai said.
When Grandpa Qi heard this, he nodded in satisfaction and heaved a sigh of relief. After graduating from high school, she was almost an adult. He couldn’t hide his smile and said cheerfully, “Yanjing University is good! Yanjing University is good! That child must be outstanding!”
It was just that he was quite curious why this kid had found himself such a young wife. He thought that this kid would find someone around his age.
But that was good too! As long as Zhenbai liked the child, it was fine.
Qi Zhenbai secretly thought that his wife was naturally outstanding, but on the surface, he was very calm as he continued to try and reason with the old man. “Grandpa, I just started a relations.h.i.+p with my wife. Why don’t we talk about it in a few days?”
“You’re talking about a few days when you’re already calling her your wife?” It seemed that this kid was really satisfied with that wife. Grandpa Qi was very curious about this future granddaughter-in-law and his heart itched. He couldn’t wait to see this granddaughter-in-law immediately, but this grandson was so protective of her. He didn’t want to be the bad guy either, so he could only make Zhenbai fix a day to meet; only then did he drop the subject!
After hanging up, Qi Zhenbai abruptly dialed Zhu Bocheng’s number. As soon as the call went through, he couldn’t help but say, “Do you think my wife will agree to let me take her back to the old residence now?”
