Mother Qi didn’t stay for long. She was afraid that the two children would feel awkward, so she only told Zhenbai to make sure his wife drank more of the nutritious tonic, which was good for her health and the child.

When Chi Shuyan heard the word “child” her face subconsciously turned stiff. When Mother Qi went out, Chi Shuyan drank the soup absent-mindedly and subconsciously was about to ask the man what they were going to do about the “pregnancy.”

However, thinking of what the man said just now, Chi Shuyan swallowed the words.

She didn’t speak, and Qi Zhenbai wasn’t a talkative person. The atmosphere in the room was very quiet, so quiet that there was a strange and inexplicable awkwardness.

Chi Shuyan drank a spoonful of the tonic and looked up at the man in front of her. She saw that the man was too calm and didn’t have any other expression. For a moment, she couldn’t guess what he was thinking.

Was he angry?

“What are you looking at?” Qi Zhenbai glanced at her and suddenly asked.

Chi Shuyan immediately straightened her back and said, “Nothing!” Then, she absent-mindedly scooped another spoonful of the bird’s nest. The better the Qi family treated her, the more she couldn’t lie to them. Was she really going to make up for it by getting pregnant?

Chi Shuyan was distracted. Qi Zhenbai hoped that his wife would drink more of this bird’s nest. It was very good for her health. When he saw that her bowl was almost empty, he naturally took it and filled it up for her.

“Don’t, I can’t eat anymore!” She had drunk almost a whole pot of the pigeon soup just now. How could she still eat all this?

Qi Zhenbai just asked her to finish whatever was in the bowl. He didn’t force her to drink the rest. Then, he carried the tray and spoon down.

Chi Shuyan went to the bathroom to wash up.

After washing up, Chi Shuyan saw the man come back. Before she could ask, the man handed her a nightgown. “It’s new. I prepared it for you!”

Chi Shuyan stared at the nightgown for a while. She took it in a daze and immediately went to the bathroom to change.

When she came out, the atmosphere became even more awkward, especially when she walked out and saw the man sitting on the sofa with the pillow and blanket she had just prepared.

Chi Shuyan was about to explain, when the man spoke again. “You sleep on the bed. I’ll sleep here.”

Chi Shuyan’s face was stiff as she blurted out, “So… so good?”

The atmosphere became even more awkward.

It was as if they weren’t a couple, but more like strangers who had just met for the first time.

Chi Shuyan looked up and suddenly met the man’s deep and sharp eyes. For some reason, she felt more and more uncertain. She felt that the calmer this man looked, the angrier he was in his heart.

Chi Shuyan felt that she was probably thinking too much. This person was even considerate enough to ladle bird’s nest for her just now; it wasn’t very likely that he was angry about what happened earlier.

But this man had definitely misunderstood.

In fact, she was still thinking that if this man hadn’t said those words, she would pretend that nothing had happened, and put the blanket and pillow back on the bed. Perhaps she would have the courage to pounce on him if she gritted her teeth later.

Fine, it was all her fault!

Chi Shuyan stood there for a while. She couldn’t really sleep on the big bed and make the master sleep on the sofa. Chi Shuyan gritted her teeth and said politely, “Why don’t you sleep on the bed, while I sleep here? I like sleeping on the sofa!”

Chi Shuyan waited for the other party to reply. The man in front of her got colder and colder. His thin lips were tightly pursed and his eyes were unfathomable. She had never experienced what Qi Hao had said in the past about his cousin being the scariest when he had a stiff face. However, she really felt it now. She immediately changed her words and said, “Why don’t we sleep together on the bed?”
