Actually, he was her superior. However, in front of Old Madam MO, Qi Jiangchi did not say that and called them colleagues.
Guan Suling nodded. âYou wanted to know my name just now. Iâll tell you now. Okay, Iâll give the phone to my darling.â
Qi Jiangchi quickly said, âOkay, I wish you good health.â
Guan Suling smiled. âEveryone else says fancy things. Youâre an honest person, kid, but I like to hear them.â With that, Guan Suling returned the phone to Li Xiwu. âAlright, Darling, continue answering the phone.â
âOkay.â Li Xiwu suppressed a smile and took the cell phone.
Guan Suling went to the other side and did not disturb Li Xiwu from answering the phone. Li Xiwu tilted her head and wedged the phone between her head and shoulder. She fiddled with the hyacinth in the vase with both hands. âPresident
Qi, itâs me.â
Qi Jiangchi donât even dare to breathe loudly just now. âYour grandmother is the Old Madam of the MO family?â
Li Xiwu answered. âYes.â
Qi Jiangchi clicked his tongue. âLi Xiwu, youâre unscrupulous.â
Li Xiwu asked, âUnscrupulous?â
âIsnât that so?â Qi Jiangchiâs tone was filled with complaints. âI thought that President Pei was already your strong background. I didnât expect your grandmother to still be the old princess of the MO family. Youâre quite capable.â
Li Xiwu still couldnât suppress the smile on her lips. âDoes my identity and background mean that I have some skills?â
âOthersâ identity and background might not be, but your identity and background must be!â Qi Jiangchi said firmly.
With that, Qi Jiangchi did not forget to tease Li Xiwu. âYour grandmother is an old princess. In that case, youâre a little princess. I, Qi Jiangchi, actually managed to get close to the royal family in my lifetime.â
Li Xiwu smiled and said, âThatâs enough. The royal family was in the past. Itâs modern society now.â
Qi Jiangchi said, âYes, yes, yes, Little Princess.â Li Xiwu said, âYou..
Qi Jiangchi said, âLong live, Little Princess.â
Li Xiwu: â
Forget it, she couldnât be bothered to argue with him. After saying, âIf thereâs nothing else, Iâll hang up.â She took down her phone and Qi Jiangchi quickly called out to her, âLi Xiwu, wait. Itâs serious! Itâs serious! I havenât said it yet.â
Li Xiwu asked, âWhat serious matter?â
Qi Jiangchi asked her, âYou know about Qi Zishenâs arrest, right?â
Li Xiwu said, âYes, I know.â
Qi Jiangchi hesitated for a few seconds before asking, âCurrently, the police have announced that it was a car accident. Qi Zishen deliberately tried to kill someone. Do you know who the person he attempted to kill was?â Li Xiwu did not beat around the bush with Qi Jiangchi. âMe.â
The other end of the line went silent.
Li Xiwuâs tone was light. âIâm fine. Think about it. If I wasnât fine, who would brag to you now?â
Qi Jiangchi took a deep breath. âWere you afraid at the time?â
âTo be honest, a little.â Who wouldnât be afraid when they were on the verge of death unless they saw through the mortal world?
Li Xiwu thought that she had not seen through the mortal world. She had Pei Jingzhouâs love and had even found her family. She wanted to live happily and passionately forever.
Qi Jiangchi was in a low mood. âThis person is really crazy.â
Li Xiwu said, âMy words also agitated him at that time, but itâs fine now. Thank you for your concern, President Qi. Itâs a small injury. Iâll get back to work soon. â
Qi Jiangchi adjusted his tone. âWhy are you in such a hurry!â After a pause, he asked, âWhich hospital are you in? Iâll bring a fruit basket to see you. What flowers do you like? Iâll buy them according to your preferences.â
Li Xiwu was in a good mood. âIâm afraid I wonât be able to eat President Qiâs fruit basket. Iâll be discharged today.â Qi Jiangchi asked, âAre you sure?â
Li Xiwu said, âIâm sure.â
All right.
Qi Jiangchi sighed in his heart and reminded her to rest as much as possible before ending the happy call.
Li Xiwu was still in a good mood after the call. She put the phone down and took a closer look at the hyacinth in front of her. It had been fiddled with more delicately than before. Satisfied, she turned to look for her grandmother. When she turned around, she almost bumped into Pei Jingzhou. She looked up at him. âFourth Brother, when did you come back?â
Pei Jingzhou said, âIâve been back for a long time. You were on the phone and didnât hear me approaching.â
Li Xiwu realized that she had been chatting too happily with President Qi just now. She had indeed not heard anything.
Pei Jingzhou leaned forward slightly. âI asked you, but you didnât say anything.
When other men asked you, you said everything. Li Xiwu, my heart hurts.â Li Xiwu bit her lip. âIâm just afraid that youâll blame yourself.â
Pei Jingzhou said, âHave you ever thought that Iâll find out sooner or later and blame myself?â
Li Xiwu fell silent and looked up at him obediently.
Pei Jingzhou pursed his lips. âYou knew that Iâll fall for your tricks.â
Li Xiwuâs lips curled up very high as she replied, âOf course.â
Pei Jingzhou slowly lowered his head and said in a low and hoarse voice, âIâm sorry.â
Li Xiwuâs curved lips slowly pressed down. Just as Pei Jingzhou was about to say something, Li Xiwu raised her hand and gently tapped his lips with her fingertips. âJust like how you told me not to say thank you to you, can I also ask you not to apologize to me?â
Pei Jingzhou corrected her. âThis is different.â
Li Xiwu stood her ground. âHow is it different? You can ask that of me, but I canât ask this of you?â
Pei Jingzhou said, âWhat a twisted logic.â
Li Xiwu retorted, âWhat you said is the twisted logic.â
Pei Jingzhou naturally could not beat Li Xiwu in a debate.
After winning the argument, Li Xiwu even specially said, âEveryone in this family has to listen to me. If you donât, Iâll go to court to sue you for hiding the fact that youâre infertile before marriage.â
Pei Jingzhou:
âWho canât have children?â
Guan Sulingâs voice suddenly sounded. She also walked over.
Li Xiwu was shocked. Looking at her grandmother walking over, she quickly explained, âI was telling Fourth Brother not to be angry.â
âDo you really think Grandma is old and my ears are useless? I clearly heard you say that you canât have children. Who canât have children?â As she spoke, Guan Suling looked at Pei Jingzhou. âKid, youâre the one who canât have children, right?â
Pei Jingzhouâs expression was subtle. It was rare for him to speak late. âIâ¦â
Li Xiwu interrupted Pei Jingzhou. âGrandma, you didnât hear everything. I was discussing with Fourth Brother when it was suitable to have a child. Now, Iâm already at the most suitable age to have a child. In a few years, there might be a risk of being at an advanced age and wasting the best childbearing age.â
Guan Suling said, âNonsense!â
Li Xiwu:
Guan Suling walked up to Li Xiwu. âYouâre only 25 years old. Itâll take at least ten years for an advanced mother to give birth. In the next seven or eight years, you can be yourself happily and enjoy life.â
At this point, Guan Suling smiled and said meaningfully, âBesides, feelings canât withstand the grinding of time the most. Just because your relationship is good now doesnât mean that your relationship will be stable in the future. Itâs not that Grandma has to say these unpleasant words. Grandma is just saying something more realistic. After the seven-year itch, and your relationship will still be like this, then it wonât be too late to have a child..â
