Chapter 07 Shen Kuozhi knew that this person was capable; he was truly cunning!
Qi Yue and Shen Kuozhi sat side by side, with a person’s distance between them.
The play they performed today was quite successful. After Qi Yue and Shen Kuozhi reached a consensus and decided to cooperate yesterday, Qi Yue had already planned out today’s performance.
With the cooperation of Shen Kuozhi from the Shen family, Qi Weixiong’s threat to him was almost nonexistent. Naturally, he no longer needed to stay at the Shen family all day watching monkey shows.
He didn’t have any strange quirks about torturing his own eyes.
“Shall we go back and see Grandma first?”
“Sure.”
Following yesterday’s agreed plan, they encountered traffic jams and frequent stops along the way, spending over two hours in the car before finally arriving at the Shen family’s residence.
The main residence of the Shen family was a traditional quadrangle courtyard. The location here was prime, and the courtyard of the Shen family was quite large. From the outside, it was evident that it was well-maintained, showing grandeur, worthy of being an old prestigious family.
However, Qi Yue couldn’t help but sigh inwardly. After all, no matter how wealthy the Shen family was, it belonged to someone else and had nothing to do with him.
“Let’s leave the luggage in the car for now. I’ll have the driver take you back later.”
“Okay.”
Qi Yue followed Shen Kuozhi inside, and gradually, he noticed that Shen Kuozhi’s pace was getting slower and slower.
If Qi Yue didn’t control his own pace, he would have overtaken Shen Kuozhi.
He also noticed that although there was no expression on Shen Kuozhi’s face, the moisture on his forehead revealed his current condition.
He had underestimated Shen Kuozhi’s physical condition.
Yesterday, Shen Kuozhi could still conceal it while sitting, but now that he was moving, it was evident that he couldn’t cope.
Shen Kuozhi was quite cunning to be able to handle this situation.
As they approached the courtyard, they saw a woman sunbathing on a lounge chair. She looked to be in her fifties, with a lively spirit.
“Grandma.”
Was this the elderly grandmother Shen Kuozhi mentioned?
If it weren’t for Shen Kuozhi’s genuine weakness and the fact that the Shen family was indeed wealthy and powerful, Qi Yue would have thought he was being deceived.
“Zhi’er is back. Is this the child from the Qi family, Yue Yue?”
Mrs. Shen turned her head to look at them upon hearing the voice. After seeing the visitors clearly, she got up from the lounge chair and warmly arranged for refreshments to be served.
“Just call me Grandma when you’re with me, Yue Yue.”
Shen Kuozhi whispered softly in Qi Yue’s ear as they approached.
Qi Yue nodded slightly and took a small step forward, meeting Mrs. Shen.
“Hello, Grandma. I’m Qi Yue.”
“Oh, Yue Yue, come over here and sit with Grandma. Zhi’er, your health isn’t good, you should sit down and rest soon.”
Mrs. Shen approached Qi Yue warmly, inviting him to sit down.
When Qi Yue interacted with Shen Kuozhi, he felt like he was dealing with two adults who understood boundaries, but Mrs. Shen was different. She was even warmer than Shen Kuozhi, making Qi Yue somewhat overwhelmed.
Qi Yue and Shen Kuozhi were seated closely by Mrs. Shen. “The sun is warm. Young people should also pay attention to sunbathing. Why don’t you two stay with Grandma and enjoy the sun?”
Although she was from a wealthy family, in Qi Yue’s eyes, she didn’t have any airs. This might also be credited to Shen Kuozhi.
In the eyes of the Shen family, their relationship with Qi Yue and Shen Kuozhi seemed to be at the stage of considering potential marriage partners. Naturally, she was affectionate.
“It’s almost lunchtime. Yue Yue, is there any dish you like? I’ll have it prepared.”
“Grandma, anything is fine for me. I’m not picky.”
Qi Yue waved his hand. He indeed didn’t have any particular preferences. He had always eaten whatever was available in the Qi family. No one cared about what he liked or disliked anymore.
Unexpectedly, Shen Kuozhi, who was on his right, spoke up, “Grandma, are the dishes I mentioned yesterday prepared?”
“The dishes you want are naturally prepared.”
“That’s fine.”
“What are you saying? I just asked Yue Yue about it, and you’re already bullying him in front of me? Not competent, huh?”
“No, no, Grandma. My taste is similar to Kuozhi’s. What he likes, I like too.”
“Ah, indeed a perfect match. So, do you two want to stay with Grandma tonight?”
The topic shifted so quickly that Qi Yue almost didn’t catch up.
But this question was difficult for Qi Yue to answer. He glanced at Shen Kuozhi, waiting for him to speak up.
“No, Grandma. I still need to help Yue Yue move some things.”
“Oh, cohabitating, huh? Then Grandma won’t keep you two today. Come visit Grandma after your honeymoon.”
The old lady smiled kindly. Although the reality was not as she imagined, it still made Qi Yue feel a bit embarrassed.
Why did it feel like they were publicly shipping them as a couple?
The two of them chatted with the old lady in the courtyard, discussing many things about Shen Kuozhi’s childhood, and time passed quickly.
When they went to the restaurant for lunch, Qi Yue was surprised to find that all the dishes served were to his taste.
According to what the old lady had said, these dishes should have been informed to her by Shen Kuozhi in advance.
Just like yesterday’s blind date, he didn’t expect that he and Shen Kuozhi had similar tastes.
“Zhi’er, your health isn’t good. The dishes you told me about yesterday were all spicy. It’s better to eat something light. Grandma had some dishes prepared that you often eat.”
Who was the old lady? How could she not understand her grandson?
Seeing that Shen Kuozhi obviously couldn’t eat spicy food but was pretending, it was clear that he was trying to cater to his future daughter-in-law’s taste.
Fortunately, she had the kitchen prepare some dishes that Shen Kuozhi often ate.
Qi Yue, sitting on Shen Kuozhi’s left, naturally heard the old lady’s words. A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he quickly concealed it.
Was it really because he and Shen Kuozhi had similar tastes, or was someone deliberately catering to him?
But how did Shen Kuozhi know what he liked to eat?
Could it be that Shen Kuozhi specifically investigated him?
Well, as a prospective marriage partner, it was necessary to thoroughly understand each other’s details.
Shen Kuozhi’s cautiousness was not wrong, but it made Qi Yue feel more at ease.
The more cautious Shen Kuozhi was, the less likely he was to have ill intentions towards him. They both had their own needs, which was exactly what Qi Yue needed.
“Grandma, I’ve always liked it, but you usually don’t let me eat it…”
“Alright, then today you’re not allowed to eat it either.”
The old lady didn’t expose Shen Kuozhi’s careful thoughts directly but followed his lead.
“Oh, since Grandma says so, then I won’t eat it.”
Shen Kuozhi said so, but he didn’t seem too reluctant. Perhaps he really couldn’t handle spicy food.
Looking at Shen Kuozhi’s contrasting behavior, Qi Yue felt a bit amused and puzzled.
If he remembered correctly, Shen Kuozhi was 26 this year. Men are boys until they die, right?
How could he not handle spicy food but still eat it? Wasn’t that silly?
