516 Father-In-Law Sir, I Have Not Eaten as Well

Wei Muran continued to ignore her and turned to Yang Shaoqun’s group. “Thank you for your hospitality these past few days and for allowing me to participate in the investigation.”

“Don’t mention it. You guys have helped tremendously,” said Yang Shaoqun as he waved his hands. It was a situation convenient to both parties—no point making it into something uncomfortable.

Yang Shaoqun had not understood the xenophobia between some police precincts.

“If you have any questions regarding the case, you can contact Muran. We’ll also pay attention to the case in City B. We’ll definitely help if we can,” Qi Youxuan said.

After hearing Qi Youxuan’s words, Yang Shaoqun was really happy.

The group accompanied them right to the security checkpoint before leaving.

…

Qi Youxuan sent Wei Muran home, but as soon as the car stopped, before he had a chance to kiss her, Wei Ziqi came out and rapped on his car window.

Qi Youxuan regrettably got out of the car and was glared at by Wei Ziqi. Wei Ziqi said with a stern face, “You have a lot of nerve. You actually dared to take my daughter away for so many days!”

“Dad!” Wei Muran quickly pulled Wei Ziqi away coquettishly. “We went to T City and ended up only staying one night. We didn’t even get to go to the hot springs when we happened upon a murder. I was working on the case with T City’s Criminal Investigation Division these past few days. I didn’t even have a good vacation.”

“Murder? Did it involve you?” Wei Ziqi’s attention had been firmly diverted. His daughter was given top priority, “What happened? Were you bullied?”

“No. We just found a body. We were assisting the police as eyewitnesses,” Wei Muran explained before continuing, “I saw that they were getting nowhere with the case, so I decided to understand more about the case with the T City folks.”

“You two… sigh!” Wei Ziqi realized that they were still outside. Although there was no one else around, it was not appropriate and said, “We’ll talk inside.”

“Ok.” Wei Muran was worried that Wei Ziqi would continue to harp on Qi Youxuan, so she willingly complied.

Qi Youxuan tried to take advantage to fish in troubled waters and followed them through the Wei house gate.

Wei Ziqi was not so easily fooled and glared at him, “Did I say you could come in?”

Wei Muran did not dare to defend Qi Youxuan at the time. Wei Ziqi was still angry, the more she spoke-up for Qi Youxuan, the more Wei Ziqi would be against Qi Youxuan.

With such a difficult father, Wei Muran occasionally felt tired as well.

Wei Muran secretly winked at Qi Youxuan and signaled for him to leave.

Qi Youxuan no longer insisted and just said with a smile, “I’ll be leaving now, Dad. Bye. Mumu, have a good rest. I’ll call you later tonight!”

Wei Ziqi wanted to shout, ‘I’m not your Dad! Don’t call her phone!’

He raised his foot to kick Qi Youxuan’s backside. Qi Youxuan wanted to let his father-in-law let off some steam. He purposely turned toward the direction of his feet and obediently took the kick. He then brushed the seat of his pants, got into his car, and drove off.

Wei Ziqi expressed that he was still upset, snorted, and then took Wei Muran back home.

“That little brat. Did he… did he take advantage of you?” asked Wei Ziqi awkwardly upon returning home.

Wei Muran froze for a moment, still wondering if making-out was considered being taken advantage of?

Looking at Wei Ziqi’s expression, she understood what he meant.

She blushed and said, “Dad, what are you thinking! We… We were staying at the resort villas. We had our own separate rooms. Nothing happened.”

Wei Muran’s voice softened as she spoke, she was quite embarrassed and lowered her head, “Moreover, he has always respected me and has never initiated any demands to… to do that stuff.”

Wei Ziqi’s expression finally improved a little. He felt that Qi Youxuan at least had some redeemable qualities, but only a little.

In his eyes, all men that caught his daughter’s eye were scums.

They both were future sons-in-law but Wei Muche’s treatment was far better. From an early age, Wei Muche obeyed Cheng Xicheng. From Cheng Dongge’s perspective, this son of Wei Ziqi was meant to be part of his family.

If Cheng Xicheng points to the east, Wei Muche will not go west. Cheng Dongge was not worried that his daughter would be bullied.

Therefore, when Wei Muche sent Cheng Xicheng home, Cheng Dongge invited Wei Muche into the house and generously discussed his experiences regarding taking care of one’s wife. Determined to brainwash Wei Muche.

He thought Wei Ziqi was being stupid. His daughter would be married sooner or later, what good would it do to guard against Qi Youxuan as though guarding against a thief.

It would be better to be like him, brainwashing Wei Muche from the beginning as well as every time they met. To the point that he was very reassured. He was simply preparing a good husband for his damsel. He was not afraid of a change of heart.

In terms of the relationship, he had already transformed Wei Muche into an honest man.

While poor Wei Ziqi was so obsessed with protecting his daughter, he did not realize that his son was being turned by Cheng Dongge.

Cheng Xicheng returned after changing into her more comfortable home clothes and sat right next to Wei Muche. Wei Muche stood up immediately and said, “Chengcheng, let me make you some fruit juice!”

Er Cheng does not like to drink tea and does not like unflavored drinks. Wei Muche thought that store-bought fruit juices had too many additives and it was not good to drink too much of those. Therefore, as long as he was around, he would make freshly squeezed juice for Cheng Xicheng.

Under Cheng Dongge’s tutelage, Wei Muche was extremely familiar with the Cheng family’s kitchen. He slid into the kitchen, took out the juicer from the cabinet along with a variety of fruits and proceeded to make Cheng Xicheng a fruit and vegetable juice combo.

…

Wen Xu sent Qi Youning back to Prestige Residences. As soon as he found out that they would be returning, Qi Chenglin sat in the living room scrolling away on his iPad. However, Ruan Danchen, who sat beside him sipping tea, could clearly see that he was just scrolling on the home screen. Occasionally, he would tap and launch the browser by accident, but would just close it and continue scrolling.

Ruan Danchen silently observed him doing that for two hours.

As he scrolled, he would glance at the clock on the iPad from time to time, and while frowning, he said, “Why hasn’t Youning returned yet?”

“…” Ruan Danchen reached out and rubbed his brows, reminding him silently not to frown.

He calmed down a little after being massaged by her soft fingers—his brows relaxed. The expression on his face also softened. He raised his hand and grabbed Ruan Danchen’s hand, pulled it towards his lips, and kissed it a few times.

They had been married for decades. Except for a few more wrinkles on his face, Qi Chenglin did not change much. He still looked good after so many years, as though only a day had passed.

Ruan Danchen felt a little embarrassed to be kissed. She rested her head on his shoulders and gently poked his shoulder with her other hand. She did not lift her head but heard the low sound of Qi Chenglin’s laughter.

“Don’t worry, Youxuan is with her. He’s not the kind of person to sit back while his sister is being taken advantage of. Besides, this is Wen Xu. I’m quite relieved,” said Ruan Danchen smiling.

Although Qi Chenglin regarded Wen Xu as an enemy who wanted to snatch his daughter away, Ruan Danchen treated Wen Xu as her prospective son-in-law. She watched Wen Xu stay by Qi Youning’s side all this time while watching her grow up. He could maintain it for so long, so Ruan Danchen did not have any complaints. To have someone like this protecting her daughter, they could rest easy.

What if Wen Xu had a change of heart in the future? If someone who had protected Qi Youning for more than ten years could have a change of heart, then she was afraid to think what other men would be like.

Besides, she believed in Wen Xu.

Ruan Danchen smiled and held onto Qi Chenglin’s arm, “Although she’s my daughter, I have to admit that she was really fat as a child. Even then, Wen Xu still liked her and treated her so preciously. I thought then if Youning couldn’t reduce her weight and continued to get fatter, it would be a blessing to have someone like Wen Xu. Think about it. At the time Youning was a little fatty, Wen Xu was still able to admire her. To find a son-in-law like this is very rare!”

“…” Qi Chenglin was speechless.

Although he did not want to admit it, why did he feel that what his wife said made sense?

Hence, when Wen Xu brought Qi Youning home and rang the doorbell, Qi Chenglin chucked the iPad aside, rushed over, opened the door, and pulled Qi Youning inside.

Wen Xu stared at an expressionless Qi Chenglin and addressed him earnestly, “Father-in-law Sir, I’ve brought Youning home safely.”

Qi Chenglin had nothing to say.
