ok

Qi Family

When Qi Zeyan and Ruan Mengxi cback, the old grandfather was sitting on the sofa, watching slegal

affairs program.

"Um..." Ruan Mengxi had just escorted the boss hand was naturally preparing to leave, but as soon as she

started to speak, the old man called her over to sit down for tea, "Xiaoruan, sit. You, a young girl, running around

with this kid must be tiring."

He was well aware of the trouble his grandson could cause.

"Not tired." Not only was this person Qi Zeyan’s grandfather, but he was also the former CEO of the company,

and Ruan Mengxi respected him from the bottom of her heart.

"Don’t be polite, sit."

With the old man’s enthusiasm, Ruan Mengxi sat down, but as soon as Qi Zeyan's rear touched the sofa, he was

met with a stern shout, "Did | say you could sit?"

"Grandfather." Qi Zeyan frowned, thinking it ridiculous that the assistant might sit while he, the boss, had to

stand.

"Go make Xiaoruan a cup of tea."

Ruan Mengxi felt a sudden jolt in her heart, "Old Chairman, there's no need, I..."

How could she dare to have Qi Zeyan wait on her?

"I should pour tea for her? She's my assistant, and you're askingto serve her?" Qi Zeyan knew his

grandfather was doing it on purpose just to make things difficult for him, using Ruan Mengxi as an excuse.

"It’s off-work hours now, and she’s a guest in our house. Is pouring a cup of tea for a guest too beneath you?

Have you gotten so above yourself that | can’t ask this of you anymore?"

"Fine, I'll pour the tea!" Qi Zeyan said as he entered the kitchen, poured a glass of water, and handed it to Ruan

Mengxi. She quickly stood up, slightly bowing, and accepted with both hands, "Thank you, boss."

"When has the Qi Family ever sunken so low as to serve guests plain water?" the old man scoffed.

"Old Chairman, | like drinking plain water." Ruan Mengxi was already flattered that he had poured her water; she

rarely received such treatment at the company and quickly tried to defuse the situation for Qi Zeyan.

"Really?" The old man knew well that Ruan Mengxi was this scoundrel’s assistant and it was normal for her to be

fearful, "Look at how you've scared Xiaoruan, Zeyan."

Qi Zeyan was caught between laughter and tears, thinking it wasn’t him who frightened her; it was all the old

man’s doing...

"Go on, peel an orange for Xiaoruan to calm her nerves."

"There's no need, really," Ruan Mengxi hastily waved her hands.

"If grandfather says it'll calm your nerves, then eat," Qi Zeyan said as he peeled a small orange and passed it to

her, "Here, take it."

"Thank you, boss."

Ruan Mengxi’s heart was racing; if these two men were looking to stir trouble, why drag her into the middle of it?

"By the way, what did you see today at the Jiang Family’s? | heard that Jiang Zhaolin’s family had completely

broken ties with them this time."

"Is Jiang Shuyan'’s leg truly beyond recovery?"

"Especially the daughter-in-law from Xiaowu’s family, she wasn’t harmed, was she? | heard she even scolded

Jiang Zhaolin. She’s quite formidable, isn’t she? What exactly happened?"

Ruan Mengxi’s mouth twitched!

On their way back, the old man had made several phone calls, constantly berating Qi Zeyan for joining the

commotion at the Jiang Family’s at such a time, being too nosy, and now...

It seemed that the old man... was quite nosy himself!

Apparently, that trait could be inherited.

Qi Zeyan shrugged, "I probably know as much as you do; | arrived too late and didn’t witness the specifics."

The old man frowned, "You scoundrel, skipped work all day to watch the spectacle, and ended up seeing nothing.

What good are you?"

"Looking for a wife amidst the chaos, yet you're still a step behind everyone else!"

Qi Zeyan seemed to suddenly understand something, and smiled at him, "Grandfather, was the reason you were

so eager forto return because you also wanted to know sinsider information not known to outsiders?"

"Get lost, am | that kind of gossip?" The old man’s face remained unchanged, but his tone betrayed a hint of

anger touched with embarrassment.

Qi Zeyan nodded quite earnestly. The old man beside him picked up a cushion and tossed it at him, while Ruan

Mengxi sat nearby, watching. In fact, their grandfather-grandson relationship was excellent; it was just that her

gaze, fluttering and fleeting, had landed on Qi Zeyan.

Usually in the company, she definitely kept things close to the chest, not daring to reveal a hint of emotion.

Only blit on the Qi Family having such a good atmosphere at the time, and it was also her first tseeing

another side of Qi Zeyan at home. Compared to his seriousness and solemnity at work, if not for his side-parted

slick hairstyle, he seemed like a sunny big boy...

When you like someone, you can’t hide it in your eyes.

The Qi Family's old man was originally bickering with Qi Zeyan, but suddenly turned his head toward her,

"Xiaoruan, today..."

He had intended to say to her that keeping up with Qi Zeyan running all over the place today, and being a girl,

was quite hard, suggesting she go back early to rest. However, upon seeing her gaze, his eyes lit up...

"Mr. President, do you need something?" Ruan Mengxi suddenly returned to reality.

"His parents are not at htonight; stay and have dinner with me."

"| still have things to handle at the company..." Ruan Mengxi had run out after answering a phone call, indeed

leaving behind a pile of urgent office work to be dealt with.

"Work is never done. After dinner, I'll have Qigi send you home. Rest well, and everything else can be done when

you're at work tomorrow. The boss is already playing hooky; you should also take a lazy day. After all, if the sky

falls, it’s the boss who'll hold it up."

Qi Zeyan was choked up; what an overstatement...

With the old man being excessively hospitable, Ruan Mengxi found it hard to refuse. It was her first teating

at the Qi Family’s home, and she felt awkward just sitting and waiting for the meal to be served, so she offered

to cook a couple of dishes herself.

"You can cook?" The old man laughed.

"A little."

Qi Zeyan knew that Tang Wan was a great cook, having eaten her cooking himself in Pingjiang, and it was quite

good. So he thought to himself, since the two women were friends, Ruan Mengxi’s cooking skills should not be

too bad.

Was this woman cooking, or putting on a juggling act? What a ruckus!

That scene, he would probably never forget for the rest of his life.

Ruan Mengxi held a spatula, staring at the sink, lost in thought.

Qi Zeyan leaned against the doorframe, raised an eyebrow at her, "Ruan Mengxi—"

"Huh?" She suddenly turned around, looking perplexed.

"What are you doing? Do | have a grudge against you? Did | make things difficult for you at work that you're

coming to my house to take revenge?"

"I'm cooking!"

"Are you sure you're not about to demolish my kitchen? You have such a clever look, yet so clumsy." Indeed,

Ruan Mengxi had a naturally smart appearance.

Was he complimenting her?

Ruan Mengxi pursed her lips and suddenly let out a laugh.

Qi Zeyan was tongue-tied; is this person a fool! She’s smiling through the scolding?

"If you don’t have the diamond, don’t take on porcelain work. If you can’t cook, what's the fuss about?" Qi Zeyan

walked over and in no tat all, had tidied up the mess of pots and pans in the sink.

"I've seen Wanwan do it, it seemed quite simple." Ruan Mengxi didn’t expect to mess up, and it turned out to be

Qi Zeyan who cto clean up her mess, "Can you cook?"

"When | was a kid, everyone in my family was very busy, | would make something to eat myself."

Qi Zeyan wasn’t adept at cooking elaborate dishes, but he could manage a few home-cooked meals.

And he, hearing her praise, was quite pleased, tidying up the kitchen and then frying up the dishes...
