Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Qi Hao felt the atmosphere in the car suddenly turn quiet and strange after he asked the question. Looking at his cousin’s face, Qi Hao wished he could bite his tongue. He knew how possessive his cousin was of his sister-in-law, yet he still asked such a question?

Did he have a death wish?

Chi Shuyan didn’t think much of Qi Hao’s question. Not only did she say that it was a man, she also gave Jing Hengran’s name.

She had nothing to do with Jing Hengran, so she didn’t feel guilty.

After answering the question, Chi Shuyan was a bit sleepy. She rested her head on the car window and planned to close her eyes and rest. She told Qi Hao to tell her when they arrived at the university.

Qi Hao hurriedly said, “Okay! Okay, Sister-in-law!”

As he replied, his mind whirled and he snuck a glance at his cousin. It was just that his cousin never revealed his emotions, so he couldn’t see any abnormalities at all. He just felt that his cousin’s face was terribly cold. Occasionally, his eyes would fall on the box of tea leaves with a cold and dim light in them, which made Qi Hao indescribably nervous and scared.

Qi Hao felt that it was better to not pry into his cousin’s thoughts and just watch the road. His cousin had always been a shrewd person. Even if he really saw something, Qi Hao might not be able to help. He was about to turn his head, when he saw his brother gently place his sister-in-law’s head, which was leaning against the car window, on his lap. His thin lips were pursed and his eyes were sharp but gentle. When he looked at Sister-in-law, the chill in his eyes seemed to thaw.

Qi Hao got goosebumps. Not long after, he saw his cousin look away and stare sharply out the car window.

Qi Hao immediately looked away and heaved a sigh of relief.

They weren’t far from the university, and they quickly arrived at the entrance. Qi Hao subconsciously wanted to wake his sister-in-law up, but when he turned around and met his cousin’s sharp gaze, he jumped in fright and hurriedly stuttered, “Brother, wake… wake Sister-in-law up. We’ve reached the school!”

“Don’t worry about it! Wait a little longer!” Qi Zhenbai said indifferently as he gently stroked his wife’s hair.

After waiting for almost five minutes, Qi Hao saw that it was getting late and reminded Qi Zhenbai again. Only then did Qi Zhenbai reluctantly wake his wife up.

Chi Shuyan was in a daze. She was used to taking afternoon naps, and was a little out of it when she didn’t have one today. She slept much deeper than usual, and Qi Zhenbai patted her a few more times.

On the side, Qi Hao called out to her several times.

Only then did Chi Shuyan gradually wake up and her head clear. She vaguely recalled that she had gotten into Qi Zhenbai’s car earlier, so she immediately opened her eyes. When she did, she saw the man’s familiar face. Chi Shuyan almost couldn’t react for a moment.

Looking at how she was resting so intimately on Qi Zhenbai’s lap, Chi Shuyan’s face changed and her mind went blank. Without thinking too much, she hurriedly got up and looked out the car window. After confirming that they were at school, she hurriedly found an excuse to get out of the car.

Qi Zhenbai didn’t stop her this time, but called out in a deep voice, “Wait!”

Chi Shuyan didn’t want to pay attention to the man behind her, afraid that he would grab her again. However, they were in the car, so it wasn’t good to ignore him. She could only stop and look at the man. “Is something the matter?”

When she said that, she kept her distance and was very wary.

The cold and hard man in the car pursed his thin lips and didn’t say anything. He handed her the small box of tea leaves, which Chi Shuyan took.

The man continued in his deep voice, “Go! Don’t be late!”

The man’s attitude was too good, and Chi Shuyan felt a little guilty for a moment. Only then did she realize that she had been measuring a gentleman’s heart with a petty one. Her vigilance just now was a complete joke.

She was immediately a little embarrassed and didn’t want to think about how she had fallen asleep on the man’s lap just now. However, the man in front of her did look a little more amiable and pleasing to the eye. In contrast to her previous rejection, she took the initiative to thank him politely. She then said a few words to Qi Hao, who was poking his head out the window, before she left.

In the car, Qi Hao was stupefied when he saw how polite his sister-in-law was with his cousin, and how they had changed from being such a close couple to familiar strangers.

What on earth had happened between his cousin and Sister-in-law? No, what on earth had his cousin done to provoke his sister-in-law into treating him so coldly?

Qi Hao wanted to know so much that he blurted out, “Cousin, how did you provoke Sister-in-law into disliking you so much?”

Qi Zhenbai didn’t want to talk about his private affairs with anyone else, so he spat out coldly, “Scram.”

But this time, Qi Hao didn’t feel intimidated at all when he heard the word “scram.” Instead, he threatened Qi Zhenbai. He deliberately snorted coldly and said, “Cousin, if you don’t treat me better, see if I’ll still help you woo Sister-in-law in the future. I’m very useful, okay? Look at the difference in Sister-in-law’s attitude toward me and toward you just now. You might not be able to ask her out. If I ask her out, she’ll definitely come out!”

At this point, Qi Hao was overjoyed. His sister-in-law liked him.

Qi Zhenbai’s face was dark and cold, and there was some impatience in his eyes. Qi Hao said again, “Cousin, seriously, how did you wrong Sister-in-law? Tell me properly, and maybe I can give you some suggestions.”

Qi Hao paused. Afraid that his cousin would refuse, he hurriedly continued, “Cousin, hurry and tell me. By the way, I acknowledge only Sister-in-law as my sister-in-law. No other woman can enter my Qi family!”

Qi Hao felt very timid, but a threat always had to be backed up by an imposing manner.

Who knew which of Qi Hao’s words struck Qi Zhenbai, but the imposing man’s eyes flashed and he unexpectedly just grunted coldly without getting angry.
