Dealing with Tigers

Dinner time came quickly, and at the table, Grandpa Qi became emotional, “Yufeng’s grandmother passed away early, leaving me alone, very lonely. Xia, you should come visit more often, but I know that boy is stingy, might not let you come, let alone if you two get married, I might not be able to play with you anymore, Xia!” Uh … Marriage? -.-||| … Just as I was about to speak, a large chicken leg was stuffed into my mouth, “Eat, don’t talk so much.” Who else could it be but Qi Yufeng himself, with a sour look on his face… But, but I hadn’t said a word … “Hey, how can you be so rude! But Xia, you should eat more, gain some weight, my Yufeng likes plump girls.” Pfft! What kind of old man is this! The culprit was still snickering, and I nearly fainted on the spot … “Old man, do we have guests?” Suddenly, a voice rang out, and I saw Qi Yufeng’s face turn cold. When that person entered the dining room, I screamed, “It’s you!” When that person walked into the dining room, I screamed, “It’s you!”, and Qi Yufeng shot me a cold glare. The handsome doctor looked at Qi Yufeng, then at me, “So, you’re Yufeng’s girlfriend?” “No, I am…” Before I could finish, Qi Yufeng interrupted, “Did you call him back?” He looked at Grandpa Qi, his tone void of any emotion. “Yes,” the room went silent, “I don’t know what happened between you all those years ago, but it’s been so long, it’s time to make amends.” Grandpa Qi sat back in his chair with his hands clasped, exuding a stern and undeniable aura, which made it impossible for me to reconcile the man before me with the one from a minute ago. Qi Yufeng listened quietly, elegantly wiping his mouth, then washed his hands in water with a lemon slice, dried them, stood up, “We’ll take our leave now, we’ll visit again when we have the chance,” and then he pulled me to my feet, walking out. As we passed the doctor, he smirked, and I curiously asked, “What are you smiling about?” Suddenly, my hand was gripped so tightly it felt like it might break, bringing tears to my eyes, it was Grandpa Qi’s doing! His face was expressionless as he drove, inscrutable and terrifying. What was the deal between him and the young doctor? Could it be that the doctor had upset Qi Yufeng? Not surprising, given his petty nature, who wouldn’t occasionally annoy him … But the doctor was also a bit foolish, knowing well that Qi Yufeng was rich, powerful, and petty, it wouldn’t be worth it to hinder his own financial gain. “How do you know him?” “Uh … Actually … It’s like this, Gao Miao knows him, one day he came to the company to give free health checks to all employees, that’s how I met him.” Remembering that day wasn’t exactly honorable, and there was the issue of the salary of the man in black, I had to make up a story. “Don’t see him again, and don’t go to Gao Miao’s place either.” “Oh.” “Liu Yixia.” “Hm?” He looked at me, a slight curve to his lips, “You’d better not let me find out you’re lying to me,” his gentle tone intentionally chilling …
