He was so absorbed in his career that he seemed indifferent to the child.
So, this child is not what he expected?
Qi Siliao knew clearly what Hu Luanfei was thinking. His eyes were very penetrating and he could see through the other person's heart.
But after a short moment, he sighed softly and knelt on one knee in front of Hu Luanfei. Hu Luanfei had his head down, so it was easy for him to meet his gaze.
She was just about to look away and cover up her uneasiness, but before she could make any move, he who was kneeling in front of her suddenly reached out and held her belly and said, "When I realized you were pregnant, I was so excited that I couldn't sleep all night. But I don't know how to be a good father, so I was very scared and chose to ignore it out of uneasiness."
Qi Siliao's situation is different from hers. Born in the royal family, he has been accustomed to intrigues and deceptions since childhood. He has been calculating and being calculated during his growth. In order to gain his father's favor, he has been constantly becoming better, but he has also pushed himself into a dangerous position and become the target of public criticism. His father's favor makes the concubines with sons regard him as a thorn in the eyes, and his brothers regard him as a thorn in the flesh. His excellence has become a sharp sword stabbing at himself. Only by pretending to be indifferent can he avoid being hurt badly.
Hu Luanfei touched the back of his head, her eyes full of heartache, "This is my first time being a mother, and I don't know anything, but I know this child is not a weakling, he will be as capable as you, and as wise as me."
"Last night, I kept caressing your belly to feel the power of the baby, wondering what it would look like, like you or like me."
"Silly, of course your child looks like you."
He didn't argue and gently rubbed his cheek against her belly.
After the misunderstanding was resolved, the two of them became closer and the subsequent conversation went as smoothly as before.
Qi Siliao cared about her and made a long story short, pointing out the suspicious points on the map. "This area is close to Beiqiu, which is suitable for building an ecological park. I plan to build buildings around it and create a commercial street."
Hu Luanfei had this idea long ago, "Funds are scarce, and the dam work cannot stop."
"Beiqiu is in turmoil now, and the business community has been reshuffled. We can open a few more escort agencies and restaurants."
Qi Siliao took out another plan and said, "I couldn't sleep last night. I kept thinking about this."
Hu Luanfei looked at the plan and pondered it carefully. "Although the business community in Beiqiu has been reshuffled, there are many bosses who have risen up."
"We can't wait. We'll go shopping tomorrow and buy a suitable shop if we find one."
"it is good."
It was a rare occasion for the couple to be reunited, so the couple prepared to take a carriage to Beiqiu the next day.
Aunt Wang, who had made a fuss about the fields before, came again today to beg for money.
As soon as Hu Luanfei left, Qi Siriao became the target of Aunt Wang's ridicule.
"Hey, where are you going, Mr. Qi, so early in the morning?"
Qi Si Liao loaded baskets of green vegetables into the carriage. When he heard someone asking him questions, he glanced and saw that it was the gossipy woman in the village. He didn't want to pay attention to her, but he was polite and said, "Go to the city to sell vegetables."
Aunt Wang poked her head in, her eyes sparkling, "Such fresh green vegetables, they must taste delicious."
Qi Siliao did not hide his greedy eyes at all. After moving a few baskets of vegetables, he closed and locked the door of the carriage, "Aunt Wang, watch your hands. Don't get them caught."
Aunt Wang took a step back, not being able to take advantage, and felt very unhappy, so she sarcastically said, "Your vegetables are so green, don't you suspect it?"
"What do you doubt?" Qi Siliao listened to Aunt Wang's nonsense with a stern face while waiting for Hu Luanfei.
Aunt Wang seemed to be blind and completely unaware of Qi Siliao's dark expression. She spoke excitedly, "I suspect Hu Luanfei is having a relationship with the boy next door. People in the village are saying that the child she is carrying is the boy's."
"How did you know?"
Aunt Wang didn't feel guilty at all, "Everyone in the village is talking about it."
“How did the villagers know?”
Aunt Wang was speechless for a moment, unable to explain what happened. She couldn't say that she caught Hu Luanfei having an affair with the boy next door one day and then spread the story everywhere.
No matter how she provoked him, Qi Si Liao remained cold and indifferent, remaining unmoved, looking at her as if he were looking at dirt.
But she was thick-skinned and shameless, and even though she didn't get a favorable response, it didn't stop her from continuing to talk nonsense.
"You haven't been home for a long time, so you don't know that your wife is really unfaithful." Aunt Wang suddenly looked around, and then whispered to Qi Siliao, "She is not only close to the boy next door, but also to Wen Ruoxue's man, the waiter at Zuihualou, and the doctor at Baishantang."
Qi Siriao's face completely darkened. Aunt Wang thought she had succeeded in instigating the incident, and said happily with a smug look on her face, "Some time ago, a noble man from Beiqiu came to see her, and the two of them were flirting in the greenhouse..."
"Shut up!" If Qi Siliao hadn't taken into consideration that she was from Taohua Village and was an elderly woman, he would have twisted her neck long ago.
Aunt Wang shrank back as the sharp eyes swept across her. But when she thought that someone disagreed with her, she felt wronged and lay on the carriage sobbing and crying: "It's a pity that I have good intentions, but someone doesn't take it seriously."
When Qi Siliao learned that he was being blamed, his eyes were filled with anger. But Aunt Wang was not very perceptive and could not understand what he meant. She only knew why she was crying so hard and why he still didn't believe her.
[If you can't win, then throw a tantrum.]
The words my mother-in-law once said are still ringing in my ears.
Just as she was about to lie down on the ground, she caught a glimpse of a beautiful figure standing in front of the door, laughing softly, as if she had been watching a play for a long time, or as if she was mocking her, she was laughing and eating a cucumber.
"I haven't seen Aunt Wang for a few days. Your acting skills have been perfected." Hu Luanfei walked over with a smile, stood in front of Qi Siriao, and said, "A few days ago you said you wanted the land in the east that we had prepared. I told you clearly that it is impossible. I have reported to the authorities as you wished. I estimate that the county magistrate will come tomorrow when he is free. You just wait."
Aunt Wang's face turned pale and she felt an unspeakable fear rising in her heart.
Without waiting for her to say anything, Hu Luanfei took Qi Siriao's hand and got into the carriage, and the two drove away.
During the journey, Qi Siriao's face looked very bad and dark.
Suddenly, a big hand appeared at the waist. He held the reins, looked straight at the road ahead, and gently pulled her into his arms.
He didn't say a word, but Hu Luanfei could guess that he was upset because of Aunt Wang's words.
She raised her hand and stroked his frowning brows with her slender fingers, "You already look old, and if you keep a stern and unhappy face, you look older than your actual age, and you look even older."
"I'm sorry for making you feel wronged." Qi Siliaole stopped the carriage and prepared to turn around.
"Did you forget to take something?"
Qi Si Liao said coldly: "I feel aggrieved, go back and seek justice."
When Hu Luanfei heard this, he laughed out loud.
Qi Siliao lowered his gaze and stared at her with dissatisfaction, "What are you laughing at?"
"When did you become so stingy?"
Qi Si Liao's eyes were deep, "I was upset that I didn't slap her on the spot just now."
