On the other hand, Chang Jingqiu couldn't hide her admiration for Qi Chenglin anymore. He only had to curl the corners of his mouth slightly to make Chang Jingqiu's heart burst with joy.
While he was exchanging pleasantries with Chang Zhiyuan, Qi Chenglin caught a glimpse of Ruan Danchen sitting in the corner through the restaurant's floor-to-ceiling window.
There were quite a lot of people in the restaurant at this time, but Qi Chenglin saw her at a glance.
So he wasn't in a hurry to leave. After watching Chang Zhiyuan and Chang Jingqiu leave, he returned to the restaurant.
Ruan Danchen called the waiter to pay the bill, but the waiter said, "Your table has already been paid."
Ruan Danchen and the others were stunned. Then, someone appeared beside Ruan Danchen.
Ruan Danchen turned around and saw that it was Qi Chenglin who had just left.
"I saw that you guys are here too, so I paid the bill for you." Qi Chenglin smiled.
Chen Siyu and Sister Du had never seen their general manager be so approachable. They were stuttering.
"Didn't you say you weren't coming here to eat?" Qi Chenglin looked at Ruan Danchen, amused.
The way he spoke to Ruan Danchen gave Chen Siyu and Sister Du an advantage. It was the first time they saw their general manager being so warm. They felt that they wouldn't be able to face the cool and reserved general manager when they returned to the company.
"…" Ruan Danchen said helplessly, "It's a coincidence."
But looking at Qi Chenglin's raised eyebrows, it was obvious that he didn't believe it. It meant that he couldn't bear to leave her, so he secretly came here to eat.
"It really is a coincidence," Ruan Danchen said.
"It really is." Chen Siyu nodded vigorously. Seeing Ruan Danchen's misunderstood look, she couldn't bear to see it. "I was the one who said I wanted to come to this restaurant because I have a voucher."
"Finished eating?" Qi Chenglin asked with a smile.
"Yes, yes, that … we'll be leaving first." Sister Du pulled Chen Siyu up so that she wouldn't be a third wheel.
Then, Qi Chenglin got into the car with Ruan Danchen.
Although it was very close to the company, they couldn't walk because they brought Chang Zhiyuan there to discuss business.
"I was talking to Chang Zhiyuan at noon today. I didn't expect him to bring his niece here." After getting into the car, Qi Chenglin had already explained everything without Ruan Danchen asking.
"Yes, I know. I saw it." Ruan Danchen said, "Chang Jingqiu is my high school classmate. I met her when I went to the bathroom just now. It seems that she admires you very much."
The car didn't go far before they arrived at Qi Lin. Qi Chenglin parked the car in the parking lot and alighted with Ruan Danchen.
"I hate it when business is mixed with personal matters." Qi Chenglin was very dissatisfied with Chang Zhiyuan's behavior at noon, but he really needed to cooperate with the Chang family, so he couldn't go too far.
"What's there to explain? I'm not angry. I can tell from your attitude towards Chang Jingqiu." Ruan Danchen took the initiative to put her hand in his palm. "Anyway, I trust you. Because I trust you, I don't have any worries."
Qi Chenglin looked down at her with a smile on his face.
She didn't say anything cheesy, but why did his ears feel so hot?
"Are you close to Chang Jingqiu?" Qi Chenglin suddenly asked after they entered the elevator.
"Why do you ask?" Ruan Danchen asked curiously.
"I just think that if you are close, I will save her some face. If not, I won't save her face," Qi Chenglin said lightly.
"Are you so confident that she will come to you again?" Ruan Danchen also knew that Chang Jingqiu would come again, but seeing how confident he was, she was a little annoyed.
He knew how charming she was, but he didn't restrain himself!
"That's how confident you are." Qi Chenglin adjusted his tie and squinted at her. "Don't you know who your man is?"
"I'm not that close to her. She never showed up at our high school reunion. I only saw her for the first time during the Chinese New Year, so our relationship can't be said to be good or bad. We're more like strangers. And I always feel that she's not very friendly to me. "Ruan Danchen said what she thought without hiding it.
Although she trusted Qi Chenglin, she naturally didn't hesitate to attack her rival in love.
"Not friendly to you?" Qi Chenglin frowned, as if he wanted to take revenge for Ruan Danchen.
Knowing that he had misunderstood, Ruan Danchen quickly grabbed him and explained, "She didn't do anything directly, nor did she scold me, but that's the feeling. Her attitude towards me is weird, but she didn't show any obvious impoliteness. "
Qi Chenglin nodded. He understood and silently remembered Chang Jingqiu in his heart.
"Then I won't save her face," Qi Chenglin said.
"Of course you don't have to save her face." Ruan Danchen hugged his arm. "Even if we are close, you don't have to save her face if she wants to hit on you."
This made Qi Chenglin extremely happy. He pulled Ruan Danchen into his arms. "You said you weren't jealous."
"That's different." Ruan Danchen puffed up her cheeks and explained, "I know you won't accept others or play with them, so I definitely won't be jealous. But that doesn't mean I won't be angry at those women who approach you, right? I'm not jealous, and I'm not angry at you, but that doesn't stop me from being angry at them. "
Qi Chenglin couldn't help but laugh. He once again experienced Ruan Danchen and Qi Youxuan's miraculous genes.
His Ruan Ruan's thoughts were just that different sometimes.
…
Chang Jingqiu and Chang Zhiyuan sat in the backseat of the car. Chang Zhiyuan looked at his niece with a smile. "How is it? I see that Qi Chenglin is quite satisfied with you. He didn't even reject you when you said you wanted to interview him. "
"Uncle." Chang Jingqiu blushed and lowered her head in embarrassment. "I think he did it because of you."
"How could that be?" Chang Zhiyuan laughed heartily. "Qi Chenglin has always been indifferent to people. I've never seen him treat anyone nicely. I heard that the Qi family arranged many blind dates for him in the past. He didn't say anything when he went, and his face darkened as if the girl owed him something. But this time, it's different. He always has a smile on his face when he looks at you. I think his eyes are quite gentle too. Although we have business dealings with him, if he really doesn't like you, with his status as Second Young Master Qi, he won't give us face. "
Chang Zhiyuan looked at his niece's happy yet shy expression and smiled. "I think his attitude towards you is not bad. It's already much better than others. This means that he really has a good impression of you. Besides, he has such a big son. If the daughter of the Chang family takes a fancy to him and gets together with him, you'll be the one at a disadvantage. If you don't even care about it, what's there for him to be proud of? I introduced him because I think he's a good person. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to bear it. You're the daughter of the Chang family. You're still a baby. When you didn't know anything, your parents were already gone. So our family dotes on you the most. We hope that you can be happy and find you an outstanding and reliable man. "
Chang Zhiyuan smiled. "I think you also have a good impression of him, right?"
Chang Jingqiu didn't hide it anymore. She nodded shyly with a red face. "He's indeed very outstanding. After seeing him, I think it's hard for me to like another man. Even if he has a son, it doesn't matter to me. "
Chang Zhiyuan nodded in agreement. "These brothers of the Qi family, other than the disappointing dead Qi Chengze, the rest are all dragons among men. Few people of the same generation can compare to them. Even if Qi Chenglin has a son, when the time comes, as long as you marry him, it'll be fine. Even if I, your uncle, am also a man, I have to say that all men are like this. If you give him a son, he won't remember his original son. Besides, the origin of his son's mother is unknown. Until now, she's still hiding it from the outside world. I think that his son isn't very well-liked. How can he be compared to the legitimate son you gave birth to? With our Chang family's backing, the son you give birth to can be considered a legitimate grandson of the Qi family. "
"I haven't considered this yet. When the time comes, we'll just take it one step at a time. I don't think a small child is anything to worry about." Chang Jingqiu's mind was filled with Qi Chenglin's handsome face and elegant temperament. She couldn't think of anything else.
Chang Zhiyuan was very satisfied. "Although you're a maternal granddaughter, you followed your mother's surname. We all treat you as a member of the Chang family. You're clear in your thinking and more outstanding than the other children of the same generation in the family. "
The reason why Chang Zhiyuan liked Chang Jingqiu so much was not only because he had a good relationship with his sister, but also because Chang Jingqiu knew her place. She had chosen to major in journalism in university. Although she had relied on her family's connections to enter the news agency after graduation, she had settled down as a reporter. She had never mentioned entering the Chang family's company. Even when her family members had mentioned it, she had shook her head and rejected it, saying that she wasn't interested in business.
But was she really not interested?
If she wasn't interested, why would she choose to be a financial reporter? Actually, the Chang family knew that Chang Jingqiu had taken the initiative to withdraw and not compete with the Chang family. As a financial reporter, she had to be very sensitive to the dynamics of the industry. She had to contact people everywhere, so she would be able to find out some trends in the industry during her work. This had helped the Chang family a lot.
Chang Jingqiu was so sensible that the Chang family naturally wouldn't suppress her. On the contrary, they liked that she took the initiative to give in. And because of this, Chang Jingqiu was even more liked by Old Madam Chang.
As an orphan who had no parents and grew up in her grandmother's house, Chang Jingqiu had always been very careful to protect her position in the Chang family.
"In any case, since you like Qi Chenglin, why don't you take the initiative? After all, a man like him has too many people who like him. He doesn't need to take the initiative to pursue anyone. There will be people who will come knocking on his door. It's impossible for you to wait for him to take the initiative to pursue you. But you have to know your limits. If you're too passionate, he will easily look down on you and get annoyed. " Chang Zhiyuan paused and smiled again. "Look at how much I've said. You're a child who knows your limits. You don't need me to remind you."
Chang Jingqiu nodded, indicating that she knew her limits. Then, Old Madam Chang called and asked her to go home tonight. Old Madam Chang was quite concerned about the situation that afternoon.
"Grandma, I …" Chang Jingqiu said softly, embarrassed. "I like him."
On the other end, Old Madam Chang was very happy when she heard this. She had always felt that she owed this granddaughter of hers. If it wasn't for Old Master Chang being so stubborn, her daughter wouldn't have …
Anyway, whenever she thought of Chang Jingqiu's mother, Old Madam Chang would feel sad. So, she doted on Chang Jingqiu especially, as if she wanted to compensate Chang Jingqiu for what she owed Chang Jingqiu's mother.
So, as long as it was about Chang Jingqiu, Old Madam Chang would always think of ways to satisfy her. As long as Chang Jingqiu liked something, Old Madam Chang would definitely think of ways to satisfy her.
She was practically spoiling Chang Jingqiu.
Old Madam Chang was also very pleased. Her granddaughter was obedient, sensible, and knew her limits. She was so much better than the girls from other families. This made Old Madam Chang like Chang Jingqiu even more.
"Sigh, it's good that you like him. It's good that you like him." Old Madam Chang said. "Don't worry, Grandma will definitely support you."
…
Ruan Danchen still didn't know that Qi Chenglin was so deeply remembered. Because they had agreed to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau the next day, and Qi Youxuan didn't have any classes outside of school, she brought Qi Youxuan along.
When he heard the news in the morning, he was still sleeping in. When he heard that Ruan Danchen was going to bring him to get their marriage certificate, the little boy got up immediately. He didn't even need Ruan Danchen to coax him to brush his teeth and wash his face. He quickly went to the bathroom to clean up.
After breakfast, he left with his parents excitedly.
At the Civil Affairs Bureau, the three of them waited in line outside. Fortunately, today wasn't a special day, and there weren't any hints of 520,1314, so there weren't too many people. They found a chair and sat down to wait.
Afraid that Qi Youxuan would be bored waiting, Ruan Danchen wanted to bring him an iPad. Unexpectedly, Qi Chenglin stuffed an early childhood education device into Ruan Danchen's bag and told him to revise his English when he was bored. At that moment, the little boy's little face immediately turned green.
Seeing Qi Youxuan's pitiful look, Ruan Danchen held back her laughter and put the early childhood education device into her bag.
Seeing Qi Youxuan's bored look as he sat on the chair, his two short legs dangling in the air, unable to touch the ground. Ruan Danchen asked, "Are you bored?"
When Qi Youxuan heard this, his gaze immediately landed on her bag and he shook his head firmly. "I'm not bored. I'm just watching. It's pretty good!"
"…" Ruan Danchen rubbed his little head. Why did this little boy not like to study?
"Did you not like to study when you were young?" Ruan Danchen asked Qi Chenglin softly.
Qi Chenglin was using his phone to turn on the hotspot, and he had a laptop on his lap to work. If there was anything at the company, Jiang Yuan would call him.
He had taken the morning off today, and Qi Chengzhi would usually help him settle anything.
He stopped what he was doing and turned to look at Ruan Danchen. He was not angry that his work was interrupted.
Qi Chenglin had heard the conversation between her and Qi Youxuan just now. He glanced at Qi Youxuan's little face and adjusted his shirt collar proudly. "I was very smart when I was young. No matter what it was, I could remember it after seeing it once, so I didn't need to make up for it."
Qi Youxuan smiled angrily. Wasn't his father saying that he was stupid?
"Hmph, I'm smart!" Qi Youxuan said angrily and ignored him.
Qi Chenglin sneered and continued working.
Seeing the little boy's angry look, Ruan Danchen carried him over and coaxed him for a long time.
After a while, Ruan Danchen received a call from Old Madam. She asked them to go back to the old mansion for lunch after they were done with the marriage certificate.
Old Madam's voice on the phone was also quite anxious. She was anxious to see their little red book.
The little boy woke up early in the morning. At this moment, he was bored and had nothing to do, so he slowly became sleepy and his eyelids were fighting. Ruan Danchen hugged him and let him sleep.
When it was their turn, Qi Chenglin put away the notebook and took Qi Youxuan from Ruan Danchen's arms. He said unhappily, "I don't know if he's here to witness us getting our marriage certificate or to cause trouble."
Hearing Qi Chenglin's words near his ear, the little boy woke up in a daze. He rubbed his eyes with his chubby little hands. "Daddy, Mommy, are we getting married?"
Ruan Danchen couldn't help laughing at his question. The little boy was thinking about getting married, so she replied, "Yes."
The little boy quickly asked Qi Chenglin to put him down. The little boy was very excited. He was not sleepy at all and looked around curiously.
It was also the first time that the staff saw a child coming to get their marriage certificate. While they were processing, the little boy tugged at Qi Chenglin's sleeve. "Daddy, give me your phone."
Qi Chenglin didn't know what he wanted, but he still gave him the phone.
The little boy skillfully switched to the camera mode and began to record Qi Chenglin and Ruan Danchen. He did not forget to dub at the side. "Ahem, hello, unborn brother and sister. Daddy and Mommy are here to get married today. I'm your brother, Qi Youxuan. Unfortunately, you won't be able to see Daddy and Mommy get married, and you won't be able to attend their wedding. It's because you're not born yet. But I, your brother, can attend. Are you envious? "
The little boy switched to the selfie mode, turned around, and captured Qi Chenglin and Ruan Danchen with him.
"Do you admire your brother very much? I'm the only one who can do this kind of thing. Even other brothers can't do it. I'm so envious of you, hahahaha! "
The staff looked at the crazy child, and then at Qi Chenglin and Ruan Danchen. Both of them were a little shy, and Qi Chenglin had already turned his head away in disgust.
The little boy continued, "But your brother still has you in his heart, so I recorded a picture for you today. When you grow up, I'll show it to you. If you can't see it live, you can watch the video."
Then the little boy turned off the selfie mode and pointed the camera at Qi Chenglin and Ruan Danchen. "Say hello to your future son and daughter."
Qi Chenglin: "…"
Ruan Danchen: "…"
Ruan Danchen subconsciously waved at the camera and said, "Hi ~"
When she came back to her senses, she quickly put her hand down. It was too magical.
…
The two of them took out the red booklets, and Ruan Danchen felt like a hot bun that had just been taken out of the pot.
When she opened it, she could smell the scent of ink.
The little boy asked for the two little red booklets, and looked at them for a long time, giggling all the way.
From now on, Ruan Danchen would be his legitimate mother!
The three of them returned to the old mansion. Old Mrs. Han called Qi Zhongliang and the others in the morning, and even Qi Chengji came back. At this moment, it was like a family gathering on Saturday, and everyone was present.
Before Ruan Danchen could sit down, Old Mrs. Han came to ask her for the marriage certificate. Ruan Danchen quickly took out the marriage certificate and handed it to Old Mrs. Han.
Old Mrs. Han cleared a small part of the coffee table in front of her, and placed the two marriage certificates on it. Then, she took a photo with her phone and immediately opened WeChat to send the photo.
Old Mrs. Han wore presbyopic glasses and specially typed one letter at a time on the photo. After ten minutes, she finally typed out a sentence: I have a second granddaughter-in-law. Little Han
After a long time, she didn't see Old Mrs. Han leave a message, not even a like.
Old Mrs. Han couldn't help but call Old Mrs. Han. "Little Han, did you see my WeChat?"

Free little theater:
"NoZuoNoDie ③"
Ruan Danchen had been disconnected from the internet at 10 o 'clock sharp for a few days, even more accurate than the university dormitory. If she still didn't notice that something was wrong, she would be in the wrong.
So when it was almost 10 o 'clock, Ruan Danchen specially told Song Yu and the others to not fight monsters first. From the corner of her eye, she saw Qi Chenglin leave the room quietly, and Ruan Danchen immediately followed him out.
"Qi Chenglin, what are you doing!" Ruan Danchen caught Qi Chenglin in bed. No, she caught him holding an internet cable on the spot.
Qi Chenglin: "…"
