He smiled softly, unconcernedly revealing a little-known secret.

“That’s how our daughter came to be.”

There were three people in the tea room.

Two people's eyes widened. Yuan Yuan wanted to cover her ears. Is this something she can hear?

Qiao Huaizhou was still talking, maybe he had found someone with similarities. He was giving suggestions and also describing himself.

"At first, I thought she was a big, strong, simple-minded, stupid and foolish person, and I could easily play with her. Later, I realized that she was not stupid at all, but she just didn't care."

Qiao Huaizhou stroked the bird's feathers with his fingers.

"She didn't want Qiao Xi after she gave birth to her. She told me that the elders' families couldn't get together. She wanted to be with the man arranged by the family and asked me to find a stepmother for the child."

"...So cruel." Shen Rao couldn't help it.

"Right!" Qiao Huaizhou finally let out the grievances that he had been holding back for years. "She is so heartless. She almost dumped my daughter and I together."

If Qiao Huaizhou's heart is black, then Feng Yiren's internal organs are hard.

"So in the end you guys..." Shen Rao was curious, why did you get married anyway.

Qiao Huaizhou didn't mind sharing his shameful experience: "If I can't do it to her, then I'll do it to the Feng family. If I give them some benefits, the man the Feng family will arrange for me will be me."

"..." Looking at this 'senior', Shen Rao didn't know what to say for a moment.

"But I'm not telling you this to teach you to do whatever it takes."

He opened the cage, stretched out his sleeves to let the eagle stand on his wrist, and the sound was slow.

"Master Shen, you woke up early and knew that you should exchange sincerity for sincerity. You are much better than me."

Smart is mistaken by smart.

Qiao Huaizhou has been scheming all his life. He is used to it. He schemed against Feng Yiren, schemed to get his daughter out, and successfully ascended to the throne.

But the consequence of his "calculation" was that even now, he still didn't know whether Feng Yiren loved him or was just doing it out of habit.

Qiao Huaizhou didn't dare to explore and wanted to live his life in confusion.

Shen Rao saw him put a roll of paper into the small bamboo tube at the eagle's ankle, touched the eagle's head, and released it by the wooden window.

The eagle spreads its wings and flies freely in the sky.

"I am a negative example. Don't follow our path." He said earnestly.

Shen Rao took it to heart and nodded seriously. After a while, he asked for advice on embroidery at the appropriate time.

When he embarrassedly told the old custom of embroidering wedding dresses in the mountains, and that the wound on his hand was caused by himself when he was groping around, Qiao Huaizhou looked at him with a moment of shock in his eyes.

After a long time, Qiao Huaizhou sighed and murmured, "I worried for nothing. Perhaps you won't follow my path."

Shen Rao is different from him. He is the one who is so "stupid" and he should be the one to be eaten alive without leaving any bones.

Seeing that he chose Yiluo Chuanfang as the first person to learn from, Qiao Huaizhou became more certain of this.

The look in his eyes was filled with the loving care of an elder.

"Child, you must be more careful."

Shen Rao happily asked: "?"

It was evening when he finished his class. Qiao Huaizhou invited him to have dinner, but Shen Rao declined.

Only after Qiao Huaizhou said he had reported to Qi Yan did he agree to stay. Now Qiao Huaizhou loved him even more.

A well-behaved little cake whose mind is filled with only his wife.

Just ask, who can not like it?

Qiao Huaizhou can't.

He has watched Qi Yan grow up since she was a child and treats her like his own daughter, so naturally he likes someone like Shen Rao very much.

To the extent that, when Shen Rao left, he was stuffed with a lot of things, including cakes he had made himself and embroidery he had made in his spare time, so that Shen Rao could go back and study them.

After seeing them off, Yuan Yuan looked at the car that was fully loaded with goods and was filled with admiration.

"I thought Master Qiao was so nice, but I didn't expect he liked you so much that he gave you two pots of his most precious orchids."

Shen Rao didn't have any special reaction.

The reason why Qiao Huaizhou was nice to him was ultimately because of Qi Yan. He was just benefiting from that. He was just thankful that Qi Yan's elders did not all look down on him.

After returning to the Bei Mansion, Shen Rao washed up and threw himself into the quilt, smelling Qi Yan's scent. The cell phone on the side vibrated, so he picked it up and took a look.

——It’s Qi Yan’s video call invitation.

Shen Rao suddenly sat up from the bed. Just as he was about to pay attention to his appearance, he thought of something else.

She lowered her eyes to look at the collar of her pajamas, pulled it down deliberately to ruffle her hair, then leaned back into the soft pillow at the head of the bed, successfully feeling a little sleepy.

catch!

"Qi..."

Before the word "yan" came out of his mouth in a lazy voice, Shen Rao was caught off guard and saw an enlarged bird face.

He grabbed hold of the open collar and his face turned pale.

"Sorry." A pleasant female voice sounded, and the camera seemed to be snatched away, and Qi Yan's soothing face appeared, "Aunt Feng's bird is not very honest."

Only then did Shen Rao see clearly that the falcon that was released by Qiao Huaizhou today was standing on Qi Yan's shoulder.

The eagle's beak rubbed against her, and it pecked at her hair from time to time for fun. It rubbed and stuck to her as if it was sucking her.

Shen Rao stared at the stinky bird.

Get out of the way, that's his wife!

Bullying him because he can't fly, right?

"Where did you go to Uncle Qiao today?" Qi Yan asked, "Are you happy?"

Shen Rao didn't reply, but was still mumbling: "Can you push it down first?"

"What's wrong?" Qi Yan was still unaware. "You can get to know it."

Staring at the two pairs of eyes, one big and one small, that were looking at him, Shen Rao pressed his cheek with the tip of his tongue, trying his best to appear magnanimous.

"Then what's its name?"

"I can't tell you."

"What?" Shen Rao was angry. He was not magnanimous at all. He was just petty!

"Take it off before you talk to me!"

Shen Rao was so angry that he covered his phone.

Things are really different now. She didn't tell him anything before, but now she won't even tell him the name of a bird. The more she thinks about it, the angrier she gets.

The screen went black. Qi Yan felt helpless. He drove Ying to the bookshelf nearby and picked up the phone to coax him.

"It's gone."

Shen Rao felt relieved when he saw that he had really left. He warned him gloomily, "Don't let anything else get so close to you."

“It’s just an animal.”

"Even animals are not allowed!" Shen Rao was furious. "I am also an animal. How could I not know the thoughts of animals? No, I simply cannot allow it!"

Qi Yan: "...Why are you talking nonsense?"

"Did you hear that?" Shen Rao didn't care and would just make trouble unreasonably.

"I heard it." Qi Yan said resignedly, "Don't let it stop from now on, okay?"

"That's good enough," he hummed, satisfied, "You can only stick close to me."

Qi Yan: “…”

She held her slightly red cheek and said, "Did Uncle Qiao embarrass you?"

When asked this, Shen Rao behaved: "No, he was very nice to me, invited me to dinner, and gave me many things..."

Qi Yan listened to him talk about what he saw and heard at the Qiao family and his impression of Qiao Huaizhou. The mature, magnetic, deep male voice was soft and gentle, just like a bedtime story, so vivid that it seemed to be able to clear away a person's fatigue of the day.

"Is that so?" Qi Yan asked again, "Are you happy then?"

"Well, happy."

There was a pause of a few seconds, and then a low voice came: "But it would be even happier if you were here."
