Chapter 0008 – Are you interested in this? (1 / 2)

Beside Qi Zhi Iu wearing a straight suit, with a pair of silver-rimmed glasses, is focusing on replying to the emails in his hand, exuding the calmness and confidence of a business elite between his hands and feet.

She rubbed her sleepy eyes and looked out through the window of the car as the scenery on both sides of the highway quickly swept by, signaling that they were speeding towards their destination.

“Wake up.”

Qi Zhiyu’s voice rang out in the quiet space with a hint of favor.

“It’s still a half hour away, so you can go back to sleep for a while.”

He seemed to notice her exhaustion and thoughtfully suggested.

“Why didn’t you wake me up?”

Su Wanqing was a bit surprised, she glanced at the time display in the car and realized that it had long passed twelve noon.

“I tried, but you were too deep a sleeper to wake up.”

Qi Zhiyu’s hands were still busy, and finally, after tapping the last character, he pressed the send button and closed the computer, with a slightly flat tone in his voice.

“Today’s family gathering, rescheduled for tonight?”

She looked sideways, confusion in her gaze.

“Yes, the guests arrived early in the morning, and after discussing it with Grandpa, he decided to invite them to stay for dinner.”

Qi Zhiyu explained while handing her a thermos, “Drink some congee first to pad your stomach.”

Su Wanqing looked at the well-prepared thermos in front of her, and a trace of surprise and emotion flashed in her eyes.

This is what he prepared for himself?

“Where’s yours?”

She asked subconsciously.

“I already ate before I left the house.”

Qi Zhiyu’s reply was concise and clear, but his tone grew cold as the topic changed, “I reminded you last night that there was an important event at home today! I hope such an oversight doesn’t happen a second time.”

When Su Wanqing sniffed, her heart couldn’t help but tighten, secretly blaming herself for her carelessness. If he hadn’t kept hugging her last night, perhaps she really could have rested a little better.

“Oh, by the way, Zhou Yaoshi called you this morning, and I answered.”

Qi Zhi Iu suddenly brought up another matter, and this sentence seemed like a stone’s throw, causing Su Wanqing, who had just taken a sip of congee, to almost choke.

“How …… can you just answer my phone?”

She hurriedly put down the bowl of porridge in her hand and looked around for her cell phone.

Qi Zhi Iu smoothly placed her bag in front of her, as if nothing had happened.

Su Wanqing quickly took the bag and rummaged for her cell phone, nervously checking the call records.

The screen showed that Zhou Yaoshi’s incoming call was at 10:00 a.m. Luckily, there was only this one missed call, which gave her a slight relief from her tension.

Then, she flipped through the SMS messages, and Zhou Yaoshi’s message jumped out: [The project in Jiang City may require you to personally travel to deal with it, and I wasn’t able to negotiate on my side. The other party insists on discussing the specifics with you face-to-face.”]

Su Wanqing quickly replied, [Remember to forward the video of the meeting to me].

Just after the message was sent out, Zhou Yaoshi’s video call request arrived right after it, along with a message: [What’s the situation between you and Qi Zhiyu right now?

An uneasy cloud of suspicion rose again in Su Wanqing’s heart.

Her secret marriage with Qi Zhi Iu, except for the internal members of the Qi family, only Li Yan Zhou and Fu Lao knew about it.

So, in her haste, she wove an excuse: [Just talking about a project collaboration.]

She was going to use it as a way to get by.

However, what Zhou Yaoshi sent immediately afterward was a voice message.

Su Wanqing originally thought that it would be an additional explanation of her work and clicked play without doing much thinking.

“Wanqing, what are you busy with? Why are you answering the phone so late?”
