When Fu Shiyi arrived at the Qi family home, Qi Tongsheng was naturally delighted.

After they sat down together, he learned that it was Fu Shiyi who picked up Qi Ning from the airport, which made him very happy.

"You two are both busy with work on weekdays, but don't just focus on work. Young people should spend more time together. You can come over to our house to play together."

Fu Shiyi replied, "Uncle Qi is right, I will."

At this point, the servants had served all the dishes, and Shen Yunhui invited everyone to go to the dining room for lunch.

At the dinner table, Qi Tongsheng asked Qi Ning about the fire.

Qi Ning briefly described the general situation to him.

After listening, Qi Tongsheng asked her, "I heard that Shi Yi's uncle was also there at the time?"

“Yes.” Qi Ning glanced at Fu Shiyi and said, “Actually, I didn’t get involved much in the fire. My uncle handled it. Thanks to his timely action, it didn’t affect our project.”

Upon hearing this, Qi Tongsheng exclaimed, "Jin Nan is indeed a reliable person. Even though he was in a coma in the hospital for three years due to a car accident, he has now recovered and been discharged, and can once again put his skills to good use."

"The Fu family has Jin Nan and Shi Yi, truly a family of outstanding talents. No wonder the Fu Group has been developing better and better in recent years."

Fu Shiyi looked at Qi Tongsheng's extremely appreciative expression towards Fu Jinnan, and the smile on his face became somewhat faint.

Of course, nothing seemed outwardly unusual.

He simply said, "Uncle Qi, you flatter me."

The two clinked their glasses, and Qi Tongsheng said to Fu Shiyi, "Besides Ningning and your uncle's collaboration, I remember that the project Shiyi is currently working on is also related to the project that our Ruoruo is involved in, right?"

Qi Tongsheng meant that his family had a close relationship with the Fu family and cooperated extensively, so he didn't feel that anything was wrong.

Upon hearing this, Qi Ning turned to Fu Shiyi and asked, "Didn't you just say that you hadn't seen Qi Ruo for a long time? Since we've been working together recently, how come it's been so long?"

Fu Shiyi's words just now were just casual remarks, an unconscious attempt to cover up his relationship with Qi Ruo and to make it seem like they weren't close. He didn't think too much about it at all.

Unexpectedly, the Qi Tong Sheng Hui suddenly brought it up, making his previous words seem somewhat like an attempt to cover up something.

"I……"

“Sister,” Qi Ruo quickly chimed in, “I’m just a small employee. Even if the project I’m working on is related to my brother-in-law, he won’t have much interaction with me. He probably didn’t see me, which is why he said he hadn’t seen me in a long time.”

Her palms were slightly sweaty, afraid that Qi Ning would become suspicious.

Fu Shiyi felt somewhat displeased seeing Qi Ruo's eagerness to distance herself from him.

Qi Ruo gave him a subtle look, signaling him not to say anything out of line.

Fu Shiyi then chimed in, "That's right, maybe I just didn't see it."

The subtle tension between them might go unnoticed by those who weren't paying attention, but Qi Ning could see it clearly.

"So this is ah."

Qi Ning looked at Fu Shiyi, her tone carrying a hint of dissatisfaction: "That's where you're wrong. Since you know Qi Ruo is in that project, you should at least take care of her a little. How can you pretend you didn't see her? She's a member of the Qi family, after all."

Qi Ruo tightened her grip on the chopsticks; she hadn't expected Qi Ning to say that.

Even Shen Yunhui was somewhat surprised.

Qi Tongsheng was very happy, feeling that Qi Ning was becoming more and more sensible.

Her speaking up for Qi Ruo shows that she has gradually accepted Qi Ruo and her daughter and considers them family; she's just being soft-hearted but stubborn.

Fu Shiyi nodded and replied, "You're right. Since Qi Ruo is your sister, I will naturally take care of her in the future for your sake."

Qi Tongsheng laughed heartily upon hearing this: "Ruoruo, aren't you going to thank your sister and Shi Yi?"

Qi Ruo quickly thanked him as instructed.

Qi Tongsheng then pointed at Qi Ruo: "Ruo Ruo, you're too timid. Shi Yi is your future brother-in-law. Next time you meet, you should take the initiative to greet him. If you have any questions, ask him. Do you think he won't help you?"

"I know, Dad."

Qi Ruo dared not refute, fearing that something was amiss, and agreed to everything.

Fu Shiyi's gaze lingered on Qi Ruo, intentionally or unintentionally.

Looking at the "harmonious" scene before him, Qi Ning found it quite amusing.

Qi Tongsheng probably thought that Qi Ruo and Fu Shiyi were not familiar with each other.

Before long, Qi Tongsheng will find out just how close Qi Ruo and her so-called good brother-in-law really are in private.

They're so familiar with each other that they've ended up in the same bed.

After lunch, Fu Shiyi did not stay long, saying that he still had some work to do in the afternoon, and left the Qi family first.

Qi Tongsheng also went out.

Qi Ning then got up and prepared to go upstairs.

"elder sister."

Qi Ruo suddenly called her name.

"how?"

Qi Ning turned around.

Qi Ruo picked up the bouquet of flowers that Qi Ning had just brought back and handed it to her: "Sister, these are the flowers your brother-in-law gave you. You forgot to take them."

Qi Ning watched as Qi Ruo carefully held the bouquet of flowers.

She smiled faintly and said nonchalantly, "It's just a bouquet of flowers. If you like it, you can keep it."
