My CEO Husband Can Hear My Inner Thoughts

Chapter 44

Early on Saturday morning, Yi Qingju went out already.

She went to try on her ordered gown and decided on tomorrow night's hairstyle at the same time.

As it was a masquerade theme, MS thoughtfully sent over a mask specially made for her.

The only trouble was that when ordering the custom gown, the shop was not very easy to find, so she still had to go herself. After all, she couldn’t trouble An De with this kind of thing.

Because of this accident, Yi Qingju intended to find a secretary.

【Host, if you go to that banquet, won't Qi Weiran go too?】

Seeing that it was a red light, Yi Qingju stepped on the brake and immediately hooked her lips with confidence and smiled, "Let alone anything else, MS is Qi's archenemy. How could they possibly invite Qi Weiran?"

"Moreover, I looked at the guest list. Qi Weiran’s name was not on it. He would not take initiative to go to his rival’s turf either."

Xiao Jiji nodded, 【I see】

"But the only trouble is, if I go to attend that banquet tomorrow night, how should I explain to Qi Weiran where I went? He has been like a changed man recently, not slacking off work at all."

Xiao Jiji said, 【It's because Host’s social circle is too empty. If you had a few friends, would you lack an excuse?】

Rarely, Yi Qingju did not refute.

The system was right, although she was a social butterfly, she did not have a single close friend.

...

In fact, Qi Weiran did not even step out of Qi's Mountain Villa at all.

He was on the 18th floor, accepting all kinds of experimental drugs that Xie Zhiyu tested on him.

The feeling was like a hundred bugs fighting in his body. Each part had its own unique pain, very disharmonious.

"Will you come again next time?"

Looking at the man who was clearly extremely weak but still refused his support, a fleeting smile flashed across Xie Zhiyu's light colored eyes.

Qi Weiran glanced at him lightly, the meaning self-evident.

Until he left here straight-backed and steady-footed, Xie Zhiyu retracted his gaze, and even doubted himself, "Could it be that the potency was not enough, so it didn't hurt that much?"

"I should add another strong drug next time," he murmured.

When Qi Weiran returned and found out Yi Qingju had gone out, his eyes instantly became sharp.

It frightened the servant who thought he was angry and hurriedly found an excuse to leave.

The man who was fine just now frowned.

It really hurt.

If he had known she was not at home, he would have asked Zhang Wei to drive back and pick him up.

Just as he was about to sigh, he suddenly caught a glimpse of the dumpling who was secretly looking over.

Qi Weiran immediately swallowed that sigh back.

"What's wrong?" He walked over.

Qi Xinian walked over with an Ultraman school bag on his back. Looking up with his tender voice, he asked, "Uncle, can you take me to my classmate's house to play?"

Qi Weiran reached out and rubbed his head, "Did you make an appointment with your classmate?"

The dumpling nodded, "An Zuoran moved. He invited me to play at his new house."

Qi Weiran had Auntie Zhang prepare gifts and carried the dumpling into the car.

"I was going to ask Yi Qingju to take me, but she went out before I got up." Qi Xinian obediently climbed down from Qi Weiran and took the initiative to sit in the child seat.

Qi Weiran asked if he knew where she went. After getting a negative answer, he stopped talking.

When they arrived at the address Qi Xinian specified, Qi Weiran habitually surveyed the area.

Coincidentally, this housing estate was built by Qi Group.

The price was absolutely not cheap. The feng shui and location were also extremely good. Living in such a residential area, at least indicated that Qi Xinian's friend had a decent family background.

He had neglected to investigate the background of Qi Xinian's best friend before. It was indeed his oversight.

Pinching the bridge of his nose, he held Qi Xinian's hand and walked in.

"Welcome..."

Can you imagine?

On a Saturday that was supposed to be relaxing and pleasant, your boss's archenemy suddenly appeared at your door.

An De was dumbfounded.

Qi Weiran did not care about his loss of composure. After all, he was the CEO in charge of the lifeline of the entire world. It would be weird if normal people did not react on seeing him.

"Hello, I'm Qi Xinian's parent."

A slender and powerful hand, with faintly visible sturdy green veins on the back, reached out to An De.

He slowly shook hands and stiffly said, "Chairman Qi... this insignificant one's name is De."

Qi Weiran's amber eyes narrowed, "Sorry, it was my oversight. I didn't know you were Second Eldest Brother's deputy factory head. I heard you are going to set up a company recently. I have not sent anyone to congratulate you yet."

An De's mind went blank.

Boss Yi, how should I handle this situation? You didn't tell me!

He could only laugh it off and casually brushed it aside, inviting him in to sit for a while.

Qi Weiran shook his head, "I'm busy with something else, won't disturb you all. The grievances between our elders surely won't involve the children."

An De immediately said, "Rest assured, Xinian and our Xiao Ran are old friends." The key was he was his boss's son!

Qi Weiran nodded politely, then briskly turned and left.

It was as if he didn't notice anything.

After closing the door, An De and Sun Wenjuan stared at each other. Still, it was Sun Wenjuan who reacted first, "He is the dumpling's dad... so Boss Yi is..."

An De: "Shh, let's not meddle with other people's marital affairs."

Pushing his wife back into the house, An De immediately called Yi Qingju but did not get through. So he sent a text message.

Sigh, I didn't expect it. A prominent family was right beside me.

But why did Boss Yi conceal this matter after all?

...

Leaning his head against the car seat, Qi Weiran's face was expressionless as he took out his phone.

"Check whether Yi Qingju has had any contact with Second Eldest Brother's deputy factory head... No, directly investigate the relationship between them."

He never knew that Yi Qingju actually knew An De, and it seemed from Qi Xinian's manner that the two families had been in contact for a long time.

The clues were messy, but Qi Weiran's intuition told him there must be some connection between them.

"Yi Qingju..." For the first time, he uttered this name with a complex tone.

Just what else do you have that I don't know about?
