Chapter 128

"Ah—!"

With a scream,

Song Qian, carrying the blanched shrimp, almost collided with Qin Feng.

Seeing the plate in her hand about to spill onto him,

Song Qian hurriedly stepped back two steps,

and then,

most of the shrimp on the plate fell onto the floor.

Glaring at him reproachfully,

Song Qian squatted on the floor, preparing to pick up the shrimp that had fallen,

while Luo Nian also walked over quickly,

helping Song Qian pick up the shrimp and put them into the sink to wash them again.

At this moment,

Song Qian blushed and said in a low voice to Qin Feng: "When did you get back? You didn't make a sound when you walked..."

"Just arrived."

Qin Feng smiled and patted Song Qian on the bottom.

Song Qian’s face turned even redder,

so she grabbed his hand and said: "Wash your hands quickly and help serve the dishes."

"Hmm, okay."

Qin Feng responded and went to the sink to wash his hands.

Song Qian carried two more plates of food out of the kitchen.

At this time,

Luo Nian suddenly leaned close to Qin Feng,

and whispered in his ear: "Qin Feng, I’ve prepared a special gift for you tonight~~"

Seeing him turn his head to look at her with curiosity,

Luo Nian blushed but continued in a low voice: "It’s really very special."

"Hmm, okay."

Qin Feng responded with a smile,

and then carried the dishes out of the kitchen.

Not long after,

all the dishes were ready.

Everyone sat around the dining table.

Song Qian opened two bottles of red wine directly,

and started pouring for everyone.

Li Na, Liang You’an, and the others all took their glasses with a smile.

Only Qin Shi shook her head apologetically: "Sorry, Sister Qian, I have to drive later."

"Hmm, okay."

Song Qian didn't mind and poured Qin Shi a glass of pomegranate juice.

However,

Tong Wenjie was surprised to see this.

After Song Qian returned and poured her a large glass of red wine,

she couldn't help but whisper in Song Qian’s ear: "Qianqian, what are you doing? You can't drink while pregnant."

"It’s okay."

Song Qian shook her head with a smile,

looked at Qin Feng involuntarily,

and whispered: "You got it wrong, Wenjie, I’m not."

"Hmm?"

Tong Wenjie was even more confused: "Are you sure?"

"Hmm."

Song Qian nodded and whispered: "My period has been gone for a few days."

"Then why?"

Tong Wenjie couldn't help but raise her voice.

Seeing that it had attracted the attention of others, she smiled awkwardly and stopped talking.

At this moment,

Luo Nian raised her glass,

looked at everyone with a smile, and said: "Honestly, I really want to thank every friend sitting here."

"If it weren't for you, I might still be stuck in the dispute with Chen Yiyang, and might even have been dragged down by him for the rest of my life."

"So, I want to thank everyone, thank you for your help and support."

After Luo Nian finished speaking,

she drank the wine in her glass in one gulp.

Seeing this, the others also raised their glasses.

Liang You’an originally only wanted to take a small sip,

but she didn't expect that just as she raised her glass,

Luo Nian reached out and held Liang You’an’s glass,

forcing her to drink it all.

After a while,

seeing that Liang You’an’s glass was empty,

Luo Nian let go.

Liang You’an’s face was slightly red,

and she kicked Luo Nian lightly, complaining in a low voice: "Luo Nian, are you stupid? If we all get drunk, who’s going to coax Luo Le to sleep?"

"It’s okay, I’m here."

Luo Nian smiled,

took the red wine from Song Qian, and stood up to refill everyone’s glass.

When it was almost Qin Shi’s turn,

Luo Nian originally intended to skip her,

but Qin Feng looked at Qin Shi and smiled slightly: "Qin Shi, won't you have some? Everyone is so happy today."

"No."

Qin Shi still declined with a smile: "I have to drive later."

"It’s okay."

Qin Feng put down his glass,

and said with a smile: "Drink, I’ll drive you all back later. Luo Nian is hosting this banquet to thank you, it won't be fun if you don't drink."

"Well, alright then."

Persuaded by Qin Feng,

Qin Shi stopped insisting and nodded, signaling Luo Nian to pour her some.

Qin Feng smiled slightly.

Qin Shi was actually good at everything, except that she liked to put on airs.

And what Qin Feng wanted to do was to get rid of that habit, so that even if she couldn't be as enthusiastic and uninhibited as Soda, being a real version of herself would actually be quite good.

Luo Nian smiled and poured wine for Qin Shi.

When she turned back,

she quietly took the glass in front of Qin Feng and moved it to her own side,

and then invited everyone to eat and chat.

At first,

Li Na and Tong Wenjie were a bit reserved,

because they were indeed a bit unfamiliar,

but after a few glasses of wine,

the women became familiar with each other.

Tong Wenjie held Li Na’s hand and told her about her perfect counterattack against Raymond,

while Li Na, with a flushed face, would applaud and cheer for Tong Wenjie from time to time.

Luo Nian and Song Qian, while drinking, discussed the development of the childcare center, their eyes full of longing for the future.

Liang You’an, while coaxing Luo Le to eat,

Occasionally interjecting a few words,

the atmosphere was exceptionally lively for a time.

Liang Youan, slightly tipsy, even arranged for Qin Feng to stand up and pour drinks.

Qin Shi, however, kept a smile on her face and remained quiet, appearing somewhat out of place in such a friendly and boisterous scene.

Qin Feng knew

that changing Qin Shi could not be accomplished in a single day.

Therefore,

Qin Feng did not force the issue.

He went to Qin Shi’s side and, after pouring a small amount of wine for her,

Qin Feng raised his own glass of fruit juice.

Looking at Qin Shi, he smiled and said, "You’ve worked hard these past few days, Qin Shi."

"It’s my duty, Boss."

Qin Shi looked at Qin Feng with a smile and downed the wine in her glass in one gulp.

More than two hours later,

the banquet ended amidst singing that had started for no apparent reason.

Qin Feng supported the slightly tipsy Li Na as they walked toward the elevator.

Qin Shi merely cast a look of slight envy at the backs of Qin Feng and Li Na,

then braced herself, forcing herself to walk in a straight line as she followed Qin Feng into the elevator.

The clever Li Na knew she would be drinking that night,

so she had arrived by taxi.

Qin Feng then took the keys from Qin Shi,

helped Li Na into the back seat,

and only then opened the door to get in.

By this time,

Qin Shi was already sitting in the front passenger seat with her seatbelt fastened.

Even with the slight, wine-induced flush on her fair cheeks,

[Hidden text]

Qin Shi still sat perfectly straight,

which happened to display her best features perfectly.

Seeing this, Qin Feng smiled slightly,

and then drove out of the underground garage...

At this moment,

Tong Wenjie pulled Song Qian away from Luo Nian’s home.

The two walked along, heading toward Song Qian’s house.

Then,

Tong Wenjie continued to voice her question: "Qianqian, what’s going on? Aren’t you pregnant? Why did your period start again?"

Hearing this, Song Qian’s face turned red, and she waved her hand with a smile: "I’m not at all, Wenjie. I wasn’t pregnant."

"Then why were you vomiting like that? Yingzi and Yifan saw it several times!"

"Heh, that was because I ate too much bird’s nest..."

Song Qian smiled, her face flushed: "I wanted to nourish myself during those days, so I stewed bird’s nest for myself every day, and then I made myself sick. I’d feel like vomiting just smelling the stewed bird’s nest..."

"I thought I was pregnant too, which is why I bought a pregnancy test, but later on, as long as I didn’t stew bird’s nest, I was fine. The moment I stewed it, I’d feel like vomiting..."

"Later, when my period came, I understood completely. It must have been from eating too much bird’s nest. So, I hardly touch bird’s nest now!"

"Is that so?!"

Tong Wenjie blinked in surprise,

then grabbed Song Qian: "Qianqian, if you aren’t eating that bird’s nest, can you give it to me? I’m not sick, and I don’t vomit when I eat it..."

"Fine, fine, fine."

Song Qian shook her head helplessly: "Come to my place in a bit, and I’ll give you the remaining boxes of bird’s nest, okay?"

"Mwah!"

Tong Wenjie immediately hugged Song Qian and planted a big, fragrant kiss on her...
