The two then exchanged pleasantries for a long time.

Shen Rao answered him nervously: whether you are used to living here, whether you eat well, how you sleep, whether there is anything missing, who is disrespectful, and so on.

I don’t know if it’s because this sudden concern from an elder is so relaxing, or if Qi Rang’s calm and gentle eyes are too familiar.

"You," Shen Rao couldn't help but ask the question in his heart, "Aren't you dissatisfied with me?"

"dissatisfied?"

He clenched his fingers unconsciously: "Qi Yan was injured and lost his memory because of me, and--"

Shen Rao paused and said with difficulty: "Don't you think we are unworthy?"

"..."

Ever since he came to the Qi family, this feeling of unworthiness has followed him like a shadow. Even though he doesn't care much about the attitudes of the elders and servants, as the proud and complacent young master, he can't help but be affected.

And the person who should be most dissatisfied with his 'ugly son-in-law' is the one with the most good intentions so far.

Shen Rao didn't understand.

Qi Rang looked at him without saying a word, just as Shen Rao regretted whether he had said something wrong.

He suddenly laughed: "Silly child, how can anyone be unworthy of anyone? There are millions of people in the world, and you two like each other, and that makes you the most compatible."

Shen Rao was stunned and looked at him blankly.

Qi Rang added: "I trust my daughter's judgment very much, and similarly—"

He refilled the newly brewed pot of tea and said softly, "Anyone who likes my daughter can't be too discerning. Don't underestimate yourself, eldest grandson of the Shen family, you are excellent."

Qi Rang recalled something and said, "I once heard my mother mention it. She said, 'My younger sister's family has a prodigy grandson. He is as delicate as a jade and very good-looking. I want to bring him home to raise.'"

After finishing the full cup of tea, Qi Rang did not say aloud the remaining tea from his mother, "It goes well with my Yan'er."

After all, the engagement was made before her daughter was born, and the mother was just joking in her spare time. Who would have thought...

Qi Rang raised his eyes and looked at the young man with slightly red eyes.

A prophecy.

"As for Yan'er's injury and amnesia," Qi Rang took this opportunity to make it clear, "It is her duty to protect you, and it is also her choice. You don't have to worry about it. She must think so too. You are hurting her enthusiasm by caring too much."

Shen Rao's nose felt sore and tears were about to flow out of his eyes.

He's going to cry.

I will never curse the Qi family again. Everyone with the surname Qi is obviously a good person.

Qi people are good, others are bad.

"Try it again," Qi Rang pushed the teacup over lovingly, "This is another kind of tea, Yan'er also likes it."

"well……"

At this moment, Shen Rao was so stunned by the coaxing that he would drink it happily even if it was poison.

I thought it would be another taste more bitter than life, but this time it was unexpectedly sweet and refreshing, leaving a lingering fragrance on my lips and teeth.

Qi Rang seemed to see his surprise: "It tastes good, drink more."

Shen Rao nodded and drank his tea obediently. Qi Rang suddenly spoke slowly: "Which one tastes better, my tea or Mu Yuan's wine?"

"..." Shen Rao almost choked to death on a mouthful of tea. He laughed dryly, and inexplicably felt that his father-in-law's smile was a little dangerous. "Your tea is delicious. The tea is delicious."

Sorry, godfather!

Qi Rang smiled with satisfaction: "I heard that you used to love drinking?"

“I’ve quit for a long time.”

"It's better to quit drinking. There are not many benefits to drinking, but Qi Yan's mother likes to drink."

Speaking of Colonel Fu, Qi Rang's eyes became even gentler, very similar to how Qi Yan looked at him...

Shen Rao drank his tea in silence, and the tips of his ears turned red.

Qi Rang didn't notice his abnormality and continued talking.

"Yan'er inherited her mother's drinking capacity, but she doesn't like to drink like me. Wait a few days and let her take you to meet her mother."

Shen Rao's heart skipped a beat and he agreed solemnly.

Before leaving, Qi Rang called him, "Xiao Rao."

"You say."

"Don't blame me for breaking off the engagement."

"..."

Shen Rao, who was standing at the door, pursed his thin lips and said nothing for a while.

Qi Rang leaned on the edge of the desk, looked at him with an obscure and unintelligible gaze, and said bluntly:

"I'm sure you've noticed that Yan'er didn't know about the broken engagement."

"What do you want to say?"

"I want to say..." Qi Rang said in a steady voice, "I didn't tell her and decided to cancel the engagement without her permission. It was my selfish desire as a father."

He glanced at the green mountains outside the window and muttered to himself, "I am a father who dotes on my daughter. I will give her whatever she wants, no matter what it is."

Not only the marriage, but also the end of the family.

"I want her to leave with a clean reputation, so I have no choice but to make concessions on your part."

"But," Qi Rang suddenly turned his head, "you changed her, Mr. Shen, thank you."

At this moment, the tall and majestic figure bowed to him with deep sincerity.

Shen Rao's pupils suddenly shrank, and he quickly stepped forward to help him up: "What are you doing?"

How could he bear such a bow? If anyone told others about it, wouldn't the whole Qi family chop him to pieces??!

Qi Rang shook his head and smiled: "I am very grateful to you, Xiao Rao, she has become less radical."

Perhaps influenced by his experience, Qi Yan never takes the roundabout way. He only takes the path that reaches the result the fastest and most thoroughly, regardless of consequences and at all costs.

"I am a father who dotes on my daughter," Qi Rang said, "I am also a father who loves my daughter..."

Speaking of this, Shen Rao vaguely saw a slight fluctuation in his eyes.

"I don't want her to die," Qi Rang's fingertips gently stroked the family portrait of three people on the table, and his voice seemed to come from far away, "...she is the only relative she has."

The second half of the sentence seemed to be filled with endless helplessness, as if the Qi family members were not long-lived, like a kind of "curse".

By this generation, the Qi family has become a dwindling family, but the Qi family's love is as long as their lives, and they are too proud to compromise for continuation.

This generation even produced an extraordinary genius who rebelled against heaven and earth and wanted to dissolve everything that had lasted until now.

"..."

Shen Rao, his eyes fixed on the photo, suddenly felt sad.

"It was you who changed her and kept her," Qi Rang patted his trembling hands, "Go back and stay with her."

"Mr. Shen?"

Outside the door, before Zhou Wang could see clearly, a person passed by like the wind.

He looked puzzled, and saw the owner of the house looking at the photo again: "What do you think of today's meeting?"

"As expected," Qi Rang said after the photo was safely put down, "He is a good kid."

"Go and pack a portion of the tea prepared today and send it to the north," he ordered.

"It seems that you are very satisfied." Zhou Wang saw the tea leaves on the table that were a thousand times more valuable than gold leaves, and then saw the arc in the corners of the patriarch's eyes, "and... very happy."

The head of the family never shows his emotions, which has not been seen for many years.

Come to think of it, every time his wife came back, he would be happy for a long time in advance.

"We should be happy to have another family member," Qi Rang sat in the main seat, looking extremely serious, "Give orders that Qi Shan take a day off today to celebrate."

Zhou Wang was shocked. This was an unprecedented special holiday except for major events.

When accepting the offer, Zhou thought: Mr. Shen, you have finally made it.
