Chapter 41 - I
Xie Qi watched as Qin Yizhi started eating the food, he had given him, breathing a sigh of relief. He probably wouldn’t refuse the food now.
The people at the table also started to move their chopsticks, but no one said anything.
Suddenly, Xie Qi remembered something and asked Qin Yizhi, “Will there be any bridal chamber ritual* at night?”
[Groomsmen would cause ruckus to prevent the groom reaching the bridal chamber, then they would try to peek or just outside listening.]
Qin Yizhi replied, “No.”
Xie Qi breathed a sigh of relief, “That’s good.”
Yao Wenzhu began, “I…”
Before she could say anything, Qin Yizhi raised his eyes and glanced at her. Yao Wenzhu paused and closed her mouth silently.
Xie Qi looked at Yao Wenzhu and then at Qin Yizhi, thinking that it was really strange for a mother to always follow her son’s wishes.
Xie Qi knew there was definitely something going on between mother and son, even if he didn’t have to feel it carefully. Yao Wenzhu’s flattery toward Qin Yizhi was often too obvious.
After eating, Qin Yizhi said to him, “You and your friends go back first, I will go back later.”
Xie Qi responded in a sensible manner. Obviously, Qin Yizhi still had to do some work on such a day. His brothers or subordinates, were all waiting for him behind him.
Xie Qi didn’t show it on his face, but he was excited in his heart. ‘Just get busy, get busy, it’s best not to come back at night.’

Xie Qi finally reunited with Fan Qingyue and Li Siwen.
Li Siwen looked at him and couldn’t help but say, “You look really good today. I think you can try makeup on a regular basis.”
Xie Qi refused, “No.”
Fan Qingyue said, “Don’t teach Qizi bad things. It’s okay to put on makeup at this time. How weird it is to put on makeup every day. Boys still have to be masculine and can’t wear makeup like girls.”
Li Siwen said, “I think you are like what is said on the Internet. Men who scared of femininity.”
Fan Qingyue retorted, “Nonsense, my sister thinks the same too. I support girls wearing makeup. You can do whatever you want but not for man. Man have to be masculine and strong.”
There was a lot of noise here, and Xie Qi couldn’t help but looking back, he saw Qin Yizhi walked toward the elevator with several handsome men and beauties.
Li Siwen followed him and looked back and said, “There are many handsome guys coming to the wedding today. Are those your husband’s friends?”
Xie Qi replied, “…As far as I know, they should all be his brothers and sisters.”
Li Siwen was envious, “Are their genes so strong? They are all tall and good-looking, and they all have good figures, right? Even the beautiful sister wearing a suspender skirt has obvious biceps.”
Xie Qi replied, “I didn’t even notice that much.”
However, he added, “Wealthy families like this will learn some Taekwondo, Muay Thai, Judo, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, etc. Didn’t I also learn Judo for two years before? They are all part of elite education.”
Fan Qingyue lowered his voice and said, “I always feel that they are a bit like the Mafia and Taoist families in the movies. They all have a bit of murderous intent. There is an eldest brother sitting at the table between us. He is not that handsome, but he is like the dragon and the phoenix among the people, so powerful that I don’t even dare to pick up more food.”
As they were chatting, a man in black clothes at the door said to them respectfully: “Young master, I am here to take care of you and keep you safe all the way.”
The three looked at each other, and Fan Qingyue couldn’t help but say, “Why do we need you to protect us? No one will assassinate us, right?”
The eldest brother in black hesitated and said, “Not necessarily, but we should be prepared.”
“It’s over,” Fan Qingyue turned to Xie Qi and said, “Your husband still has enemies. Did you enter the wolf’s den as soon as you got out of the fire pit?”
Li Siwen covered her face, “You can talk about it after we go back, the bodyguard is all still here.”
The eldest brother in black: “…”
He then said very professionally, “Don’t worry, young master, this is a very small probability, but once it happened, it couldn’t be undone, so arrangements needed to be made early, not only for now, but also for in the future. There would be others protecting the young master in the dark.”
Xie Qi: “…”
Wasn’t this an all-round surveillance with no blind spots?
Seeing Xie Qi’s expression turn ugly, the eldest brother in black immediately tried to reassure him: “Don’t worry, young master, it’s definitely not surveillance, it’s just for safety reasons, and it shouldn’t take long, maybe… maybe it only took one year? Or two years? In short, it wouldn’t be permanent, because during this critical period, Mr. Qin wanted to prevent bad people from targeting the young master, so…”
He kept talking, but Xie Qi’s expression still didn’t improve.
Li Siwen lowered her voice and said to Xie Qi, “Why don’t we see if you can get a divorce? How can you bear this?”
Xie Qi nodded with deep sympathy.
The eldest brother in black immediately shut up, realizing he had messed up his work.
Xie Qi said slowly: “Let’s go back.”
