Chapter 175: Chapter 118: The World’s Best Boyfriend
When Qi Sheng woke up in the morning and saw the person beside him was gone, he knew Tan Hua had snuck out.
After washing up and leaving the bedroom, he saw the family waiting for him to have breakfast.
"Uncle, Auntie, good morning!"
"Ah Sheng is awake! Come have breakfast. Your auntie was worried you didn’t get enough rest and insisted I wait a bit before waking you."
Tan Yuheng waved at Qi Sheng with a broad smile.
He had already forgotten most of what happened last night.
But he remembered Qi Sheng’s promise with perfect clarity.
"I usually wake up pretty late. I can’t believe you waited for me to have breakfast; I feel terrible."
Qi Sheng shot Tan Hua a look that said, ’Why didn’t you wake me?’
Tan Hua just rolled her eyes at him in response.
When she had snuck out that morning, she was caught red-handed by Han Yueying, who gave her a stern lecture.
A proper young lady shouldn’t be so shameless before marriage.
"Don’t worry about it. Your uncle usually goes to work late too."
"And I’m a full-time homemaker, so it’s no big deal if we eat breakfast a little later."
"You’re still young, so your health is what’s important. Hurry and eat while it’s hot."
Han Yueying enthusiastically ladled some seafood congee for Qi Sheng.
This was her specialty, a dish the men in her family absolutely loved.
"Mom, you actually made seafood congee today? That’s so rare!"
Tan Hua was also very surprised and felt a little indignant.
She had mentioned wanting it several times since she came back, but Han Yueying never took her seriously.
But the moment Qi Sheng arrived, Han Yueying showed off her culinary skills without a second thought.
’No wonder they say a mother-in-law grows fonder of her son-in-law the more she sees him.’
The treatment Qi Sheng was getting was even better than what she, the daughter, received.
"Just eat your food."
Han Yueying ladled a bowl of congee for Tan Hua and shot her a glare.
"My dear wife, where’s my congee?"
Tan Yuheng looked at Han Yueying with pleading eyes.
Seeing that Han Yueying had already picked up her chopsticks to get some side dishes, Old Tan felt a bit embarrassed.
"Get it yourself. You’re a grown man, do you still need me to serve you?"
Han Yueying’s anger flared as she recalled the previous night. She had been sleeping soundly when Tan Yuheng woke her, only for her to be left to "take care of things" on her own.
"Ahem, I’ll get it myself."
Tan Yuheng might not remember other things clearly.
But he had a very vivid memory of what happened last night.
What could he do? He was a middle-aged man, at the age where you start putting goji berries in your thermos.
When he was as young as Qi Sheng, Han Yueying used to praise him for being amazing, too.
’Sigh, time spares no one!’
...
After breakfast, the family rode in the Cullinan to the hospital to visit Grandma Tan.
With Tan Yuheng’s income, hiring a caregiver for Grandma Tan was naturally not a problem.
"You’ve come to see me, so you all can go back to work later. Don’t worry about me, Yueying is here."
Seeing that Qi Sheng, her grandson-in-law, had come all this way, Grandma Tan felt he shouldn’t go back alone, so she gave Han Yueying a meaningful look.
"Huahua, your grandma’s right. You don’t need to take care of things here."
"The caregiver is here to help, your dad comes by often, and I can take good care of your grandma by myself."
Han Yueying was also worried that if her daughter was away from Qi Sheng for too long, it would give other girls an opportunity to move in.
"Then if there’s any change in Grandma’s condition, you have to let me know right away."
Tan Hua had been personally caring for her for a few days, so she had a good understanding of her grandmother’s condition.
Her grandmother’s fall had been a lucky one, all things considered; it wasn’t particularly serious.
She could be discharged from the hospital in a few more days.
"Okay, if anything happens, I’ll tell you immediately."
Han Yueying pulled Tan Hua aside and whispered some instructions.
"Don’t throw any petty tantrums when you get back. That boy Qi Sheng is a good one—handsome and with a great personality. You have to cherish him."
"I know, I know!"
’In the whole world,’ Tan Hua thought, ’there are probably very few people more understanding than me.’
’I’m actually roping in other women to serve my man.’
’In ancient times, my actions would definitely be considered befitting of a proper first wife.’
"Grandma, Uncle, Auntie, we’ll be heading back now."
"For Chinese New Year, I’ll take Huahua to my home to pay respects, and then I’ll bring her back to see you all after the holiday."
Qi Sheng took the opportunity to nail down their plans for the New Year.
Taking Tan Hua home for the New Year was something he had promised long ago, and he certainly wouldn’t go back on his word.
"Alright. Your uncle and I will wait for you to come back after the New Year."
Seeing Tan Yuheng’s eyes turning red, Han Yueying also felt a mix of emotions.
Her daughter was all grown up. It was only natural for her to visit her in-laws’ home for the New Year.
Her own family’s home, she could only return to after the holiday.
"Dad, Mom, we’re leaving now."
Tan Hua didn’t feel good about it either, but she had to learn to get used to it.
If she wanted to be with Qi Sheng for the long haul, this was the least of her worries.
’Who knows how many women would kill for the chance to please Qi Sheng’s parents.’
The three-and-a-half-hour drive passed in the blink of an eye.
By the time they reached Chengdu, Tan Hua had completely adjusted her mood.
Back at Yitai Tianjiao, neither Miduo nor Xu Ying was around; they were each busy with their own things.
At the LV store these days, Miduo, the manager, as well as Tan Hua and Xu Ying, often arrived late and left early.
The three of them didn’t really take the job seriously anymore.
This was especially true for Xu Ying, who had just bought a large, luxurious flat-style apartment.
Every day, she researched how to decorate her new home beautifully.
The goal was to make Qi Sheng never want to leave whenever he came over.
To achieve this, she had been paying close attention to online influencers and home renovation shows.
Qi Sheng simply shared Peng Qingsong’s contact information with her, Pei Yinyin, and Miduo.
Having to renovate the homes of three of the boss’s ladies put Peng Qingsong under immense pressure.
Fortunately, he was now an Expert Level designer.
Even the casual suggestions he made left the three women pleasantly surprised.
To think that such a talented person was an employee of their man.
Being one of Qi Sheng’s women was an incredible source of pride.
