1754 Father Fan Is Flattered
Talking with smart people made her happy. Looking at Father Fan’s serious face at that moment, Chi Shuyan didn’t doubt his sincerity at all. She thought to herself that she could continue working with the Fan family in the future. Chi Shuyan also thought better of the Fan father and son after what happened last night. For them to resist the temptation of the Marrow Cleansing Pill and take the initiative to give her a sincere warning, it seemed they indeed had good characters.
She accepted Father Fan’s good intentions with a smile, but she wasn’t afraid of others harboring ill intentions at all. Since she had come to the ancient martial world and used the Marrow Cleansing Pill to trade, she naturally had a card up her sleeve; she wasn’t afraid of others looking for trouble with her.
Moreover, she had given serious consideration to using the Marrow Cleansing Pill to trade. She had been afraid of drawing too much attention, so she had refined level 3 Marrow Cleansing Pills. This kind of Marrow Cleansing Pill was extremely useful only for those with ordinary cultivation. The higher the cultivation level, the less obvious the effects. The effects of this Marrow Cleansing Pill were far less heaven-defying than the real Marrow Cleansing Pill in the cultivation world.
So, some people or major families might covet her Marrow Cleansing Pill, but they wouldn’t fight over it. After all, this Marrow Cleansing Pill wasn’t the true cultivator’s heaven-defying Marrow Cleansing Pill.
However, she had clearly overestimated the cultivation of many people in the ancient martial world. Almost all of them were at the Martial Way stage, and hadn’t even entered the true first stage, Qi Refining. She had long reached the Foundation Establishment stage, and was on the verge of forming a gold core; naturally, she wasn’t afraid of any families or people in the ancient martial world attacking her.
!!She didn’t say much and only thanked Father Fan again for his good intentions. It wasn’t easy to resist the temptation of the Marrow Cleansing Pill and warn her sincerely, which also meant that Father Fan was a good person to befriend.
If she had only treated the relations.h.i.+p with the Fan family as a cooperation before, she was more sincere toward them now.
After that, she didn’t refuse again when Father Fan sent her back to the capital.
Fan Yin wailed unhappily on the side, but was sternly suppressed by Father Fan.
Four hours later, Chi Shuyan returned to the villa.
Father Fan planned to wait for Master Chi to enter the villa before he drove off. Chi Shuyan didn’t leave immediately after getting out of the car, but knocked on the window. After Father Fan rolled down the window, Chi Shuyan told him about her wedding banquet. Then, she said, “Fan Family Head, I wonder if you and Young Master Yin will be free on the 30th in a few days?”
When Father Fan heard Master Chi’s words, he immediately perked up. He thought to himself that since Master Chi had said so, he would make sure he was free. Moreover, he could vaguely sense the change in Master Chi’s att.i.tude toward his Fan family. Although Master Chi had cooperated with his family before, they were still on polite terms. Listening to Master Chi’s tone now, however, it sounded like she was getting a little closer to him. Father Fan was very excited; he felt that his family really was able to make nice with a high-level alchemist thanks to his son. Thinking this, Father Fan couldn’t suppress his excitement even if he wanted to. He was so excited that he immediately said, “We’re free! We’re free, we’re free anytime!”
Chi Shuyan pursed her lips and smiled. “It’s good that you and Young Master Yin are free. I’ll send the wedding invitation to the Fan residence tomorrow. Don’t forget, Fan Family Head. It’s the same address as before, is that right?”
As soon as he heard that Master Chi was inviting him and Ah Yin to her wedding banquet, Father Fan was naturally flattered and happy. He hurriedly nodded and repeated, “Yes, yes… I’ll definitely bring Ah Yin with me that day!”
Father Fan congratulated her excitedly in advance. After she left, he still hadn’t calmed down. After his excitement, however, Father Fan found it hard to believe that Master Chi was actually getting married. Who was worthy of Master Chi?
Father Fan racked his brain and almost asked his son about it. However, he thought about how it wasn’t good for a middle-aged man like him to gossip about Master Chi’s private affairs. In any case, he would meet her other half on the 30th.
The man whom Master Chi had taken a fancy to would probably be a dragon and phoenix among men.
After Chi Shuyan returned to the villa, she immediately dialed Qi Zhenbai’s number. The phone rang a few times before the call went through, and the man’s familiar voice rang out.
Chi Shuyan’s serious face couldn’t help but soften a little, and her tone became more coy. “Husband, I’m home. When are you coming back?”
The two of them had chatted via video call last night, all the way until dawn. She had watched the man wash up, eat, and go to the company before hanging up.
Now that Chi Shuyan was home, however, she started to miss Qi Zhenbai, and wanted to see him even more.
On the other side, Qi Zhenbai was in a very good mood when he sensed his wife’s eagerness to see him. He also wanted to go home.
It was worth being alone in the big bed last night, unable to sleep as he kept thinking about her. The man sat down and pinched the s.p.a.ce between his eyebrows. He immediately changed his mind about working late tonight, and said gently and indulgently, “Soon! I’ll go back right after work in the evening!”
“Okay, are you still busy? Am I disturbing you?” She rarely called him during work hours as she didn’t want to disturb him, but today, she couldn’t help it.
Qi Zhenbai had missed her so much last night and today that he was about to go crazy – how could he think about work? The couple chatted for a long time, but in the end, Qi Zhenbai was someone who differentiated clearly between private and public matters – he was strict with others, and even more so with himself. They chatted for a while before Qi Zhenbai was about to hang up. Chi Shuyan also understood that this man was still working.
On the other end, Qi Zhenbai suddenly thought of something and immediately said, “Wife, have you filled out the wedding invitations I gave you before? They’ll be sent out in a day or two. If you haven’t, fill them out for me today!”
“Alright!”
“Grandpa wants us to go back to the old residence for dinner with Dad tonight!” Qi Zhenbai was naturally referring to Father Chi.
“Oh!”
“Wait, Dad’s here with me. Don’t worry, I’ll bring Dad back in the evening!”
Chi Shuyan: …
Wait, why was her father at Qi Zhenbai’s company?
