Chapter 11 (2/2)
In fact, she actually felt regretful that Mother suddenly appeared. Some day when no one was around she would definitely beat Gu Linye to a pulp.
Apparently, Gu Linye had the same thoughts regarding this towards Tang Chi too.
1“Let’s not talk about that disappointment. Come here, mum bought something for you, let’s see if you like it.”
Qi Zhen beckoned towards Tang Chi, the latter, of course, went to her. Qi Zhen passed her a bag and she opened it. It was a scarf.
“Mum thought about it. Everyone should be responsible for their clothes. However, it’s still cold and dry in the imperial capital and I haven’t seen you wear a scarf yet. You have to pay more attention to your health.”
After saying this, Qi Zhen took out the knitted beige scarf and put it around Tang Chi’s neck. Tang Chi really didn’t like to wear scarfs as she felt that having something around her neck was suffocating and uncomfortable…
However, Tang Chi couldn’t just refuse Qi Zhen’s good intentions. So, she willingly let Qi Zhen put it around her neck. Qi Zhen looked at the result and smiled, “This suits you. This scarf is suitable to be worn with light-colored clothes, added with your petite face, it looks even better.
Tang Chi smiled politely.
Up close, Tang Chi could smell a faint pleasant scent off Qi Zhen. A woman like her was still very attractive at this age.
Most importantly, Mother-in-Laws were not known to be kind, especially if they were in a wealthy and respectable family like this. Qi Zhen was an exception to this hearsay as she was really nice.
1At least for now, Tang Chi couldn’t see any problems. In fact, she felt genuity in Qi Zhen’s kindness and tenderness.
Clearly, the TV shows were wrong.
Qi Zhen straightened Tang Chi up, looked at her messy hair, and smiled as she said, “You just woke up? Why don’t you go pack? Will you be having dinner at home or at school?”
Tang Chi thought for a moment before she said, “I’ll eat at school. I promised my dormitory mate that I’ll bring her dinner as well.”
The most important thing for now was that Tang Chi needed time to process it all.
