Chapter 1264: Chapter 1264: Sister-in-Law
When Qi Yuqing ca out of the shower, Bai Song was already gone.
All that was left was a bunch of keys on the table.
And the dim light in the living room.
This man is really just too proper.
Qi Yuqing didn’t turn the light off.
Perhaps there were still so aftereffects from last night’s scare.
She was feeling a bit uneasy.
She locked the bedroom door, checked it several tis, and then got into bed obediently.
This night, she didn’t sleep well, dreaming she was being chased with nowhere to escape, desperately shouting Bai Song’s na.
…
Bai Song saw Qi Yuqing at the kitchen door.
She was packing things into the refrigerator, and when she saw him appear! Her expression lit up with obvious joy.
“Why are you here? You haven’t eaten, have you? Wait a mont, I bought a lot of vegetables and fruits. Today, I happened to find fresh mantis shrimp and bought a pound, just perfect for us to eat together. My braised shrimp is quite good.”
She flaunted the bag in her hand.
Bai Song looked up and saw the slender figure standing at the kitchen door.
Those eyes, deep, calm, serene, nearly without any ripple.
Even Qi Yuqing herself didn’t understand why she always felt unsettled whenever she encountered him. Perhaps it was his richer life experience compared to hers that made her uneasy before this introverted man.
Just like now, Qi Yuqing felt like a little thief caught breaking into soone’s private ho.
This feeling of being a guest was even more pronounced.
“What’s wrong? Why aren’t you saying anything?”
Qi Yuqing looked at him in surprise.
Then, she looked over his shoulder! She saw the people behind him.
They were all in police uniforms, a whole group of policen, among whom the closest to Bai Song was a valiant female officer! She was looking at Qi Yuqing with a hostile expression.
Qi Yuqing took a while to react.
Bai Song brought people back.
“Chief! Is this the sister-in-law? Hello, sister-in-law, we ca uninvited today, and made you go to this trouble.”
A line of male voices laughingly looked at Qi Yuqing and Bai Song.
Bai Song blushed.
Qi Yuqing, on the other hand, quickly gathered her surprise and greeted them with a smile, “You guys sit in the living room first! I’ll pour you so tea and bring so fruits, Bai Song, help with it.” Her natural and amiable attitude made everyone absolutely believe she was the mistress of the house.
The others laughed, “Hey, sister-in-law, don’t bother, we were going to eat out together. So many of us, what a hassle.” While saying this, their butts had already automatically planted themselves on the sofa.
Bai Song glanced angrily at them.
“Shut up, all of you.”
The female police officer walked up to Bai Song, “Chief, let help you.”
Her attitude was affectionate.
Qi Yuqing frowned.
This looked like she was here to show off.
Could there be another admirer?
A sense of crisis rose imdiately.
“No need, you are a guest after all, how could I have a guest help? Go sit in the living room, we’ll be ready soon.”
Qi Yuqing said this without needing a mont’s thought.
Bai Song lifted his eyes to glance at her.
There was a lot in that look that was hard to decipher.
“Xiaojian, you go. It’s fine with just and your sister-in-law; otherwise, it’d be more trouble than it’s worth.”
Xiaojian was obviously struck by these words.
Sullenly walked out.
Qi Yuqing was washing apples and strawberries while quietly asking Bai Song.
“What’s going on? A surprise attack? Didn’t give a heads-up. Almost slipped up.” Actually, she couldn’t be happier inside.
Bai Song ntioned sister-in-law.
He actually said it himself.
Now she’s officially the sister-in-law.
Bai Song had to get close to her, and in other people’s eyes, they looked like a happy, loving couple.
Of course, calling them a little couple doesn’t fit the image of their Chief Bai.
It should be more like a perfect match.
“They insisted on coming over for hot pot. I originally suggested going out, but they all claid I was hiding a beauty at ho, so here we are, don’t mind them.” Bai Song had hosted them for hot pot before.
Everyone was familiar.
They weren’t afraid of Bai Song, and Bai Song couldn’t refuse either.
Of course, it was also because he had stayed in the office all night and felt Qi Yuqing’s face was always right there in front of him.
After a lot of contemplation, he thought it would be best to handle this matter properly.
He wasn’t getting any younger.
Qi Yuqing wasn’t a woman who was timid or shy.
If he liked her, he should let her know.
For the first ti, he wanted to settle down.
So uncharacteristically, he didn’t refuse everyone today, also as a way to test Qi Yuqing.
“I bought quite a lot of things. If we’re having hot pot, we need to get so lamb and beef, or else it won’t be enough. Since I’m officially the sister-in-law, I can’t possibly mind.” She playfully stuck her tongue out at Bai Song.
He moved closer to her unconsciously, his warm breath landing on her cheek, and those deep eyes, made the feeling akin to being roasted by a blazing fire…
Qi Yuqing blushed.
If Bai Song, such an honest man, decides not to be honest, it’s really hard for soone to resist.
She vaguely sensed Bai Song’s unusual behavior today, yet this strange feeling made her want to run away.
How could she start dodging more nimbly than a rabbit when he started treating her differently?
Bai Song nodded, “Okay, I’ll go buy the stuff, it’ll be quick, there’s a grocery store downstairs.”
Qi Yuqing took out all the ingredients from the bag, trying to make herself look too busy to think about anything else.
“Okay!”
Bai Song went out with the teacups and kettle.
“Here, have so tea. We don’t have any lamb or beef at ho, I’ll go buy so!”
Qi Yuqing brought out the fruit too.
“Please have so fruit.”
“No need to fuss, sister-in-law, we’ll eat whatever’s there. We’re not picky.”
In the living room, the few who had been chatting away, all fell silent, nodding amiably to her.
Out of politeness, she also gave a nod and a smile, then quickly retreated back to the kitchen.
As soon as the kitchen door closed, the living room imdiately erupted, and the people started talking in hushed voices.
“Sister-in-law looks so young!”
Another joined in quickly: “Yeah, she looks like a high school girl just out of school. I heard sister-in-law is a doctor. There can’t be doctors at twenty, right? I wonder what her skincare secrets are. I’m getting darker and darker, just got told I’m close to forty… it’s sad!”
“I see the chief and his wife get along really well, just now they were busy in the kitchen together, it’s rare for n to be so considerate. I do nothing at ho and always get nagged by my wife,” said the older Wang.
Xiaojian felt uneasy and wanted to curse.
“Chief, I’ll go with you to buy stuff! It’s stuffy in here.”
He headed straight to the entryway to wear shoes.
Beside her, Wang Kai glanced at Bai Song.
Xiaojian’s thoughts were apparent to everyone.
Bai Song handed the keys to Wang Kai, “You and Xiaojian go, I’ll give you my wallet too, buy a few more boxes. Your sister-in-law likes beef.”
Wang Kai responded happily, taking the keys and headed off.
Xiaojian stomped hard in frustration.
Not like I’m so monster.
