Chapter 46 (2/2)

“Fetched Tang Chi back.”

Although he was not familiar with saying her name, he said it quite naturally. It was natural enough that people would not immediately notice whether or not he and Tang Chi had a good relationship.

Tang Chi stood aside and felt awkward. After Gu Linzheng said that, Aunt Lei gazed upon Tang Chi and looked at her from head to toe, looking like she didn’t understand something. Qi Zhen smiled widely and before she said anything, Gu Linzheng already went up the stairs. He saw Tang Chi standing there not knowing whether or not to move, so he called out, “Tang Chi.”

His voice was not anxious and not affectionate but there was some gentleness to it. But when Qi Zhen heard it, she frowned. Tang Chi instinctively followed him, “Ok, I’m coming.”

After saying that, she turned around and smiled at Qi Zhen brightly, “Mum, I go upstairs with Linzheng first.”

Qi Zhen couldn’t say anything and smiled again: “Ok, go ahead.”

Lei Yunfei saw that although Tang Chi followed Gu Linzheng from behind and went upstairs, it was obvious that all this felt awkward and immediately realized that this unexpected newlywed couple may not be as happy as advertised. She turned around and took a sip of tea, “Qi Zhen, why do I feel like the way Linzheng call out to his wife was very awkward?”

Qi Zhen was stunned and then smiled again, “How could that be? These two just got married, maybe they don’t like to display their affection. Although you knew Chi Chi met Linzheng through an arranged date, if Linzheng did not agree, we also can’t force him to marry Chi Chi, right?”

Lei Yunfei looked thoughtful, “Really?”

She knew Gu Linzheng’s personality. Everyone said that he was cold and indifferent. If he did not like to display affections in front of an outsider that would be considered normal.

Thinking of this, Lei Yunfei suddenly said, “Qi Zhen, I don’t mean to touch a sore spot but do you know that the daughter of the Guan family is returning to the country soon? Like Linzheng, she graduated with a Ph.D. from MIT. She looks promising but with her personality if she meets Tang Chi…your daughter-in-law may be at a disadvantage?

Qi Zhen’s eyes narrowed and said lightly, “Yunfei, you can say this in front of me but don’t mention it in front of my daughter-in-law. She may be unhappy hearing it. Also, what sort of disadvantage will my daughter-in-law be at with that girl from the Guan family?”
