Jiang Ningyue was finally about to see the child she hadn’t seen for years, and she was both excited and anxious.
She stared intently at the private room door, listening meticulously for any sound outside, wishing only for it to be knocked on at any moment.
Her heartbeat also followed the footsteps passing by outside, each thud so heavy…
“Mom, he’s not here yet. Have some tea first, don’t rush.”
The young, beautiful woman sitting beside Jiang Ningyue said with a smile, but earned a glare from her.
“You wretch, you have the nerve to say that. If it weren’t for your aunt, were you just not going to tell me?”
“Uh… I was just trying to give you a surprise…”
Miss Qin, usually seen as elegant and aloof by outsiders, was incredibly well-behaved in front of her own family.
As she spoke, she even hugged Jiang Ningyue’s arm, acting spoiled.
“Surprise? It’s more like a shock!” Jiang Ningyue poked her daughter’s forehead in displeasure.
“Let go. You’re this old and still so childish, like a little kid. If Young Master Xiaoyuan finds out, he might not marry you.”
“Tch…” Qin Qingge let go of Jiang Ningyue’s arm and sat up straight, curling her lip dismissively. “If he doesn’t, he doesn’t. I’m not the one in a hurry…”
“You, honestly…”
Seeing this, Jiang Ningyue shook her head without saying more. She unconsciously glanced at her husband beside her, fell silent, and simply waited quietly.
Qin Changkong remained silent as well, but suddenly reached out from under the table to hold his wife’s small hand.
The middle-aged beauty froze for a moment, but ultimately said nothing, her eyes downcast as she let him hold it.
The air conditioner was on in the private room, making the warmth from his palm especially noticeable, even hotter…
Qin Qingge seemed to notice, and couldn’t help but curl her lips into a smile, a hint of satisfaction appearing in her beautiful eyes.
She knew that Qin Nanfeng’s return would surely bring this family, which had been riddled with arguments, back to the way it was supposed to be.
After all, ever since learning the youth was coming back, even her most serious father had delegated many company matters to subordinates and directly turned down quite a few collaborations.
Seeing her once listless mother and gaunt father both looking so refreshed, she silently thanked the girl in her heart for appearing…
Meanwhile, the person Qin Qingge was thanking had just gotten out of the car. Looking at the Fujilou in front of her, Lin Xinyuan’s feelings were completely different.
The last time she was here was for that bastard Chen Ze’s birthday party, but this time she was truly going to face Qin Nanfeng’s parents face-to-face.
It was impossible for her not to be nervous.
This feeling only grew stronger with time, causing her delicate body to tremble involuntarily.
Sensing his little girlfriend’s fear, Qin Nanfeng held her hand tighter, wanting to give her strength.
Lin Xinyuan felt the youth’s action, and a mix of emotion and shyness appeared in her beautiful eyes.
But when she turned her head, she saw the comfort and smile in Qin Nanfeng’s gaze.
It was only then she suddenly realized that her intentions had been found out long ago…
“Feng Ge… I…” Her pink lips parted slightly, unsure what to say.
But seeing the youth only shake his head slightly, the corners of his mouth still turned up without any sign of anger, she gradually felt relieved.
Entering the restaurant, they explained the situation to the waiter and were led upstairs until they could see the door of the private room the Qin family had booked.
The waiter asked again if they needed anything else, and only left after confirming they didn’t.
Staring at the carved wooden door before her, even with her boyfriend by her side, she was still panicked and at a loss.
Her mind was filled with various scenes of meeting the two elders—warm, contemptuous, disgusted…
Her thoughts surged, too many possibilities flooding her mind like a tide, disturbing her peace of mind.
But just then, a deep yet gentle voice suddenly echoed by her ear, carrying a softness like a spring breeze, calming her still-trembling heartstrings.
“Don’t be afraid. I’m here for everything.”
The corners of Qin Nanfeng’s mouth turned up, and in his eyes was unwavering certainty. “If they don’t accept it, that’s fine. At worst, we’ll elope. They have no right to interfere.”
These words were like a blazing sun, reaching Lin Xinyuan’s heart as if completely dispelling the darkness of her spirit, leaving only warm radiance…
The girl’s heart warmed, her moist eyes filled with thick, inseparable love.
“Feng Ge… Thank you…”
But just as Lin Xinyuan was incredibly moved, Qin Nanfeng’s expression suddenly changed, his smile gradually turning frivolous.
“No need to thank me, Xiaoyuan…” He leaned close to her ear, murmuring softly. “As long as you work hard tonight… and switch to that position… I’ll be satisfied…”
Hearing this, Lin Xinyuan’s originally moved little face immediately fell.
She glared at this yellow-haired brat, but soon her face flushed bright red.
She turned her head away in embarrassment, as if steam was about to rise from her head.
This guy… He really was a sex demon!
Ever since that time in the office… Ugh… recently, whenever he got the chance, he’d want to do that with her…
Although it was kind of… comfortable…
But doing it every day like this, she really couldn’t take it, and it seemed like this guy was even holding back…
Like now, even though it was just the night before last, she still felt her legs were a bit weak…
It was just ridiculous…
Even if it wasn’t the first time anymore, whenever they did that kind of thing… Lin Xinyuan would involuntarily think of her past, and then think of the present. An unspeakable sadness would well up.
Not only had her little brother been lost, but she now had to experience someone else’s little brother.
Ugh… and it was so big…
No matter how she thought about it, she couldn’t get over it, yet she had done it anyway… and the person was someone she had always wanted to get revenge on before…
No matter how she thought about it, it was weird, okay!
A feeling of humiliation surged up, disturbing her heart and making her miserable.
She grew more ashamed and angry, but her mind shifted, thinking that compared to this, what she had to face now was a much bigger challenge.
She could only barely suppress those unspeakable feelings for now.
“Hmph… hmph…” Lin Xinyuan blushed and muttered, “I never said that…”
With that, she patted her little face, barely smoothing out her messy thoughts, trying to look normal.
Seeing his little girlfriend’s adorable kitten-like appearance, Qin Nanfeng suppressed the urge to fiercely “tease” that fair and cute little face, and instead gently pinched her soft cheek.
After standing in front of the door for a while, the girl finally calmed down, feeling the heat on her face subside a lot.
“Go… go in… You go first!” she said, her eyelashes trembling.
“Alright.”
Qin Nanfeng just shrugged. Although his mood was actually quite complicated at the moment, compared to his former self, he could control his emotions well now, showing no sign of losing composure.
Inside the door, Jiang Ningyue was also nervous. She had clearly heard the movement outside, but seeing the door still not knocked on, her emotions fluctuated, and she couldn’t help but worry.
Qin Changkong was no different, but he believed that as a father, no matter how turbulent his emotions, he should stay calm.
So he just silently drank his tea, seemingly not in a hurry, though his peripheral vision was always fixed on the door.
Among the three, Qin Qingge was the most relaxed. Watching her parents’ strikingly different reactions, she was simply happy.
Her mom would no longer be sad, the family was getting better, and she could finally focus on her own career and live her own life…
Inside and outside the door, after so long without seeing each other, they all harbored varying degrees of nervousness, staring fixedly at the door that separated their two worlds.
When the knock came, Jiang Ningyue was the first to eagerly respond: “Come in!”
The private room door was slowly pushed open, and the two figures outside the door came into view of the three.
At that moment, the beautiful woman’s expression, which she had barely managed to keep composed, instantly began to crumble.
Her body trembled slightly, and she slowly stood up, walking over to meet them…
