1443 Returning to the Capital (2)

After Chi Shuyan followed Brother Feng into the car, she opened her Taobao shop and realized that it had been a long while since she put things up for sale. The comments in the Taobao shop had all been replaced with beseeching.

The most anxious people here were Jiang Duo, Lu Yunfeng, Chang Hao, Xiong Luoying and the others. Brother Zhu, Lu Chengfu, Wang Xuewen and the others also left messages, but were not as dogged as Jiang Duo and the others. Jiang Duo, in particular, messaged her at least four or five times a day, or at most ten times a day. Chi Shuyan had to admire this kid.

Not only that, she also realized that many new customers had appeared in her Taobao shop, and they gave positive reviews. They all couldn’t wait for her to restock.

Xiao Shan and Wu Haoming couldn’t help but ask curiously, “Sister… Sister-in-law, what did you say to Aunt Miao just now? Why did you talk for so long?”

Wu Haoming was even more gossipy and asked Chi Shuyan what she was looking at.

Chi Shuyan could tell that the two boys were deliberately looking for a conversation starter, mainly because the atmosphere in the car was too cold. She couldn’t help but look at Qi Zhenbai, who was expressionless, silent and cold. She tilted her head curiously, and he happened to glance at her. Their eyes met.

Chi Shuyan was stunned for a moment before the man suddenly asked in a deep voice, “What did she say?”

As soon as Qi Zhenbai spoke, Xiao Shan and Wu Haoming heaved sighs of relief. For the sake of the atmosphere in the car, Wu Haoming deliberately teased, “President Qi, so you’re curious too!”

Xiao Shan echoed him as he drove, and the atmosphere in the car instantly improved.

Feng Yuanlin sat in the passenger seat and stared at Qi Zhenbai in the rearview mirror. Chi Shuyan said at that moment, “Nothing; I just received some good karma!”

She was willing to help Aunt Miao and her son. For one thing, the gift from Aunt Miao last night wasn’t something trivial, and Aunt Miao had given it to Chi Shuyan of her own accord. Chi Shuyan was naturally happy to help her. For another thing, she sympathized with Aunt Miao and her son’s experiences and she very much admired how Aunt Miao stuck to her guns.

Xiao Shan and Wu Haoming’s curiosity quickly shifted from what the women had talked about to the little guy. Wu Haoming probed curiously, “Sister… Sister-in-law, is that child really… really not human? Then, can he still appear in broad daylight? It won’t affect him?”

Feng Yuanlin, on the other hand, knew that the reason the child could appear in broad daylight was because of the umbrella which Shuyan had given to him. Chi Shuyan briefly mentioned the umbrella, and Wu Haoming and Xiao Shan were amazed.

The two still wanted to ask more, but Feng Yuanlin gave the two boys a sharp look to obediently shut up. Wu Haoming and Xiao Shan were depressed. They still wanted to ask about the Nourishment Pill and the Gu.

Chi Shuyan saw through their thoughts and sent them the link to her Taobao shop, which contained a lot of things she had refined.

Feng Yuanlin couldn’t help but tease from the side, “Shuyan, if you keep sending out the link, I’m afraid there really won’t be a share of the treasures you refine in the future for me.”

After obtaining this benefit, Xiao Shan and Wu Haoming snickered and obediently didn’t say anything else. Chi Shuyan also smiled and said, “Brother Feng, don’t worry. You’ll get a share of whatever good stuff I have!”

Feng Yuanlin was delighted by this flattery. He was about to smile smugly, when he suddenly met Zhenbai’s gloomy gaze.

Feng Yuanlin subconsciously shuddered, and the smug smile on his face immediately disappeared. He wanted to cry but had no tears to shed. His face stiffened and he hurriedly said, “Don’t, don’t, don’t… You should still feel sorry for your husband!” After a pause, he deliberately said to Zhenbai, “Right, Zhenbai?”

In other words, he had no intention of poaching her at all!

Chi Shuyan was caught off guard and was rendered speechless and embarrassed by Brother Feng’s sudden use of the word ‘husband.’ Xiao Shan and Wu Haoming also deliberately gave her meaningful smiles.

Chi Shuyan continued without a change in expression, “It’s been a while since I put up anything for sale in my Taobao shop, and most of the things are already sold out. If you want something, you can wait for me to put it up for sale in the next few days.”

She didn’t say anything else after that. She looked at the scenery outside the car window, picked up her phone, and sent a message to Director Wang.

Qi Zhenbai didn’t speak from beginning to end, but stared at his wife’s fair and tender hands with a burning gaze. Not long after, his gaze shifted to her face and pink lips. A red light suddenly flashed in his eyes, but he quickly suppressed it.

Feng Yuanlin, who had been observing Qi Zhenbai in the rearview mirror, was caught off guard when he met that pair of dark eyes again. They were greedy and cold, as if they belonged to a cold-blooded animal. Feng Yuanlin’s heart trembled and he felt inexplicably uneasy, but he quickly pretended to be calm and looked away.

Fortunately, Chi Shuyan’s phone suddenly rang at that moment to distract Feng Yuanlin, and his face relaxed. Chi Shuyan picked up the call and heard Lu Chengfu’s familiar voice. “Sister-in-law, you finally picked up. What have you been busy with recently? I didn’t see you much. By the way, I’m calling to tell you that the Lin family picked up Haoxing a few days ago. The Lin family asked me to let you know!”

Chi Shuyan ignored Lu Chengfu’s question, mainly because the matter of Dashan Village couldn’t be covered in just a few sentences. After hearing Lu Chengfu, she relaxed. She probably wouldn’t have time to take care of Lin Haoxing; if the Lin family hadn’t picked him up, she could only have Lu Chengfu and the others take care of him.

Chi Shuyan clicked on her phone calendar for a look. It would soon be the day that her teacher ran into that scumbag. She wouldn’t be able to stay in the capital for long, and would probably have to find her teacher to avoid this calamity. Thinking of the scumbag who had harmed her teacher, Chi Shuyan’s eyes flashed coldly.

Chi Shuyan was very grateful to Lu Chengfu for helping to take care of Lin Haoxing these days. “Chengfu, thank you!”

Chi Shuyan didn’t say much to Lu Chengfu before she quickly hung up.

An hour later, Qi Zhenbai’s phone suddenly rang. After Qi Zhenbai answered the call, his face changed drastically. He immediately told Xiao Shan to stop the car at a hotel in the capital, and he would get out first!

“What happened?”
