Chapter 1754: Rational Love

Zihan:...

He was speechless once again.

He was very curious: how could two cold blocks of ice spark the little flame of love?

No, that wasn't right.

The love between them shouldn't be described as a little flame; at most, it was frost flowers!

Identical attitudes.

To be able to remain calm and composed even after not being in contact for months, or even years, is truly not something an ordinary person can do.

If it were an ordinary person, they would have given up after hitting so many walls, letting things be whatever they may.

But Zihan was not an ordinary person; besides being enthusiastic, he had always felt guilty toward Zirui for playing matchmaker recklessly last time, so this time he wanted to set things right and help them once.

"Do you want to see her? I'll help you. Qi Shishi is not who she used to be; she's not someone you can see just because you want to. It will be much easier if I help you..."

Zihan's good intentions were rejected once again.

Zirui said: "You don't need to worry about our affairs. Go busy yourself with whatever you need to, but I still want to thank you, my brother."

"Fine, I won't meddle anymore." Zihan left, and Zirui continued reading.

He actually had a meticulous plan; Zirui knew that Qi Shishi would definitely not have time during the first three days of her arrival in Jiangzhou.

Going to see her at this time would easily lead to being discovered, which would have a bad impact on both of them, especially on Qi Shishi.

But after three days, he could go see her; it would neither delay her time nor attract attention.

On the second day after Qi Shishi arrived in Jiangzhou, she went to visit the Sheng Family.

It was similar to when her father first visited the Sheng Family; she brought many gifts, but most were local specialties, with nothing of great value.

Back then, when the late President Qi visited the Sheng Family, although he was a refugee, he still brought quite a few high-value gifts.

The custom in Country L is that if you are asking for help, you must show sincerity, and the deepest sincerity is measured by the quantity of gifts.

The fact that the gifts Qi Shishi brought were not valuable could also indicate from another perspective that Country L was indeed in great difficulty, to the point where even the President could not produce decent gifts for a visit.

Qi Shishi smiled and said: "I'm sorry, the gifts are too meager. Country L's current national strength doesn't allow for more; please don't laugh at me."

This statement had two meanings.

One was the literal meaning, and the other layer was—Country L currently needs development, and the Sheng Family needs to contribute more money and effort.

Compared to her father back then, she possessed not only wisdom and meticulousness but also an extra layer of open-mindedness.

She didn't suffer just to save face.

Shi Youxuan pretended not to hear the subtext; she let the servants take the gifts away and said to Qi Shishi: "You are too polite. Just coming is enough, there's no need to bring gifts. We have everything at home. Yuan-Yuan, come over and see your aunt."

Shi Yuan did not go to school today because Qi Shishi was coming, so Shi Youxuan specifically asked for a day off for him to wait for his aunt at home.

After not seeing her for years, Yuan-Yuan had grown into a big boy and was in elementary school, but he still had that shy personality. Seeing Qi Shishi, he just smiled at her, which counted as his greeting.

"Yuan-Yuan, come here, let your aunt take a look at you."

Shi Yuan was the only blood relative she had left in this world; Qi Shishi was very happy to see him, and her smile held a bit more sincerity.

He looked very much like his older brother, but his eyes were timid and fearful.

Qi Shishi brought a gift for Shi Yuan: a set of clothes woven from plant fibers, in a style of ethnic clothing that featured the characteristics of Country L.

It was not yet appropriate for Shi Yuan to return to his country; she had to wait for the domestic environment to improve before she could take him away.

Qi Shishi came to the Sheng Family this time to explain this point as well.

Shi Yuan had been with the Sheng Family for many years, and Shi Youxuan had developed feelings for him as well.

Before Qi Shishi arrived, she was worried about what to do if Qi Shishi wanted to take Shi Yuan away.

Taking him away would be the right thing to do; after all, the child was flesh and blood of the Qi Family.

But she really couldn't bear it.

Qi Shishi stated her intention, saying that she could not take Shi Yuan away for the time being and would have to wait until the domestic environment was better before planning for the future.

Shi Youxuan readily agreed, answering very promptly: "No problem, he can stay here as long as he likes, even for a lifetime."

She said it off the cuff, and after finishing, she realized it was reckless.

Qi Shishi was not who she used to be, and a child of the Qi Family could not possibly stay in the Sheng Family for a lifetime!

Qi Shishi didn't mind; she said many words of thanks and then explained that she didn't bring Black Widow this time because she had very important matters to handle in the country and truly couldn't get away.

The reason given was a bit far-fetched; in truth, it was simply that the biological mother didn't miss her son very much.

Black Widow getting pregnant with Shi Yuan was an accident, and giving birth to him was a momentary impulse; later, after not seeing him for a long time, she had long since cast this son to the back of her mind.

On the contrary, it was Qi Shishi, the aunt, who missed her nephew more.

She sat in the Sheng Family for a while, and Shi Youxuan specifically arranged time for Qi Shishi and Shi Yuan to spend time alone together as aunt and nephew.

But what was surprising was that after only ten minutes or so, Shi Yuan found an excuse to come out.

He was a bit afraid of Qi Shishi and had completely lost the natural closeness and fondness he had when he was little. Qi Shishi was a bit disappointed, but felt more relief.

Not being close to her meant that her nephew already regarded the Sheng Family as his own home and the Sheng family members as his own kin.

And being able to be close to people with no blood relation only proved one thing—the Sheng family members were truly very good to him!

Qi Shishi sat in the Sheng Family for a while, chatted about some social pleasantries, and then left.

She had other activities scheduled for the afternoon, and knowing she was busy, Shi Youxuan and her husband did not try to keep her too long.

After Qi Shishi left, Shi Youxuan said to her husband: "My goodness! A girl really changes with every year; this female president is truly not simple. I think she has even deeper hidden motives than her father, and is much stronger than Qi Heng!"

Sheng Hanyu: "Was I wrong? To have such deep hidden motives at such a young age, not letting her joy or anger show on her face—she will definitely have great achievements in the future. Such a person is only suitable as a business partner, not as a wife."

"Zirui is also no ordinary person; what he truly needs is a virtuous helper, a wife who can help him manage the household, not a woman whose status is even higher than his own."

"A large tree cannot grow beside another large tree. He would rather give up being the Heir just to spite me; he is truly ignorant!"

As he spoke, he became angry.

"Hmph! Don't mention that rebellious son; I get a stomach full of anger just thinking about him."

The "rebellious son" in his mouth was currently on the phone with Qi Shishi.

Qi Shishi took the initiative to call Sheng Zirui: "Are you okay?"

"I'm very well, and you?"

"I am too."

"You are now the one barefoot and not afraid of the one wearing Spring Shoes, so, are you going to consider meeting me?" Qi Shishi's laughter came through the phone.

Only in front of Zirui would she laugh like this.

Only in front of Zirui would he laugh like this.

Zirui said: "That's right, I'm the one barefoot and not afraid of the one wearing Spring Shoes, so now that I'm just a commoner, will Madam President look down on me?"

"Hmm, a little bit, so I want to see you tomorrow and give you a lesson in person."

The two agreed on a time and place to meet over the phone, and Sheng Zirui began to spruce himself up.
