Chapter 69

Qin Feng responded with a sound of acknowledgment,

but then he took out his phone and sent a WeChat message to Xu Qin,

"Dr. Xu, are you busy? Want to grab dinner together?"

Half a minute later,

Xu Qin replied: "Very busy. I've seen over twenty patients and assisted in two surgeries. No time today. I'm on a full shift. Miss you, Qin Feng..."

Alright then,

emergency doctors are naturally very busy,

so Qin Feng smiled and replied: "That's fine. Remember to eat on time and get some good rest."

Then,

Qin Feng sent a message to Yu Zhouzhou,

"Yu Zhouzhou, did you eat well today? Did you have your meat, eggs, and milk?"

"Mm, I ate it all. Bread and milk for breakfast, stir-fried eggs with green peppers for lunch, and I bought white-cut chicken for dinner to eat with my roommate. How about you, Qin Feng? What are you having for dinner?"

"I'm not sure yet, I'll see when I get home."

Qin Feng replied casually,

and then asked: "What are you going to do later?"

"Read, practice the piano, and... miss you!"

"Hmm?"

Qin Feng frowned slightly and replied: "Yu Zhouzhou, missing me is the first thing you should do every day, understand?!"

"Got it..."

Yu Zhouzhou replied with those three simple words,

but Qin Feng could imagine her cute appearance on the other end of the phone, with her cheeks slightly flushed and her nose wrinkled.

So he asked again: "Then what are you going to do later?"

"Miss you..."

Yu Zhouzhou first replied with two words and an ellipsis,

and after a while,

she sent a string of: "Miss you, miss you, miss you, miss you, Qin Feng, I miss you..."

"Hahahaha."

Teasing Yu Zhouzhou always made Qin Feng burst into laughter,

so,

Qin Feng smiled and replied: "That's right, that's a good girl. Alright, I'll allow you to read and practice the piano while you miss me."

"Oh, got it."

Yu Zhouzhou replied obediently with a few words,

and only then did Qin Feng hail a taxi and head toward the Scholar's Garden.

Scholar's Garden,

at Song Qian's home,

Lin Miaomiao, Qian Sanyi, Fang Yifan, Sang Zhi, and the others, along with several of the mothers,

had gathered at Song Qian's place once again.

As soon as Lin Miaomiao and the others met, they began chatting happily about everything.

Only Sang Zhi sat in the corner, pouting and looking unhappy.

Although the mothers were also chatting,

they would always glance at Song Qian intentionally or unintentionally.

And at this moment, Song Qian,

still wearing her everyday loungewear, chatted idly with the other mothers while checking her phone from time to time.

After a while,

her phone finally chimed with a notification.

Song Qian immediately opened WeChat, and couldn't help but beam with joy.

Turning her head to glance at Tong Wenjie,

Song Qian smiled and said: "Alright, Qin Feng said he's on his way home and will be over for dinner in a bit."

"Yay! Yay!"

Hearing that Qin Feng was coming, Sang Zhi jumped up happily and took the initiative to run over to the dining table.

Meanwhile, Song Qian walked into her room without a sound.

When she came back out,

Song Qian had changed into the "stepmother dress" she had bought that afternoon.

Then,

everyone present was stunned.

At this moment, Song Qian,

with her narrow shoulders and slender waist,

and her tall, graceful figure,

the well-tailored tight dress

showcased the best features of her upper body to perfection.

A bit more would have looked chubby,

a bit less would have felt too thin,

and below the waistline,

it was even more rounded and shapely,

perfectly displaying the outstanding results of Song Qian's years of practicing yoga.

Looking at Song Qian, who had suddenly become even more beautiful,

Tong Wenjie's eyes grew hazy, and she whispered in amazement: "Qianqian, you look so beautiful right now!"

Liu Jing and Pei Yin

also looked completely awestruck,

chiming in: "Song Qian, so you've been hiding a treasure all this time?"

"Yeah, Qianqian, you're so beautiful, why have you always chosen to wear those plain clothes? They don't do you justice..."

Even Li Ping, who had always considered herself the most beautiful mother,

sighed sincerely at this moment: "Qianqian, you look like a completely different person in this dress. It's truly too beautiful..."

The surprise and praise from everyone

finally gave Song Qian a bit more confidence,

and a confident smile finally bloomed on her face.

After blushing and joking with the mothers for a few moments,

Song Qian couldn't help but ask herself in her heart: "Qin Feng should like me looking like this, right?"

Returning to the living room,

Song Qian had just tidied up some snacks and fruit on the coffee table and dining table

when the doorbell rang.

Hearing the doorbell,

Song Qian trembled slightly,

hurriedly stood up, and looked toward the door with anticipation.

But at this moment, Tong Wenjie, who opened the door,

took two bags of takeout from the delivery person outside and walked over to the dining table.

Seeing that it was just the delivery person,

Song Qian's back, which had just straightened, relaxed.

However, at this moment,

there was even more anticipation in Song Qian's eyes.

She was looking forward to Qin Feng arriving sooner,

and even more curious about what his reaction would be when he saw her current appearance.

With the help of the other mothers,

Song Qian and the others quickly laid out the takeout,

and a few drops of cooking oil spilled onto the table.

Just as Song Qian turned to go into the kitchen to get a rag,

the doorbell rang once again.

Opening the door again,

the sunny and handsome Qin Feng stood outside.

Sang Zhi shrieked: "Brother Qin Feng!"

Then she ran forward a few steps

and threw herself directly into Qin Feng's arms.

Seeing this, Qiao Yingzi looked at Sang Zhi with envy,

while Lin Miaomiao couldn't help but roll her eyes.

The mothers also had varied expressions at this moment,

greeting Qin Feng with smiles.

Only Li Ping stepped forward quickly,

smiled at Qin Feng, and then helplessly patted Sang Zhi: "Sang Zhi, get down quickly. You're so big now, how are you still as naughty as when you were a child?"

"I won't."

Sang Zhi cried out, looking up at Qin Feng,

"I haven't seen Brother Qin Feng for several days. Can't I even give him a hug?"

After saying this,

Sang Zhi deliberately hung onto Qin Feng's neck, burying herself entirely in his embrace.

Seeing that Sang Zhi refused to let go after hugging him,

Qin Feng also gave a helpless smile,

and had no choice but to dotingly carry Sang Zhi into the living room

before putting her down.

At this moment,

Li Ping, Tong Wenjie, and Pei Yin

[Hidden text/placeholder]

all had a flash of envy in their eyes.

"Alright, alright, let's eat. Everyone, let's eat. Qianqian, it's time to eat!"

[Hidden text/placeholder]

Tong Wenjie said,

pushing everyone toward the dining table,

but Qin Feng turned his steps and headed toward the kitchen.

Hearing Qin Feng's voice,

Song Qian's heart in the kitchen began to race.

Putting down the rag in her hand,

Song Qian took a deep breath and was just about to push the door open to leave the kitchen

when she almost bumped into Qin Feng head-on.

"Qin Feng..."

Looking at Qin Feng, who was suddenly standing right in front of her,

Song Qian murmured those two words.

Qin Feng was slightly surprised, looking at Song Qian, who was suddenly wearing the "stepmother dress."

It had to be said,

although in terms of age,

Song Qian was a few years, or even over a decade, older than Xu Qin and Yu Zhouzhou,

in terms of both looks and figure,

Song Qian was actually not inferior at all.

Especially after putting on this "stepmother dress,"

Song Qian naturally gained a bit more mature charm.

Coupled with her slightly flushed cheeks and shy expression at this moment,

she was even more heart-stirring.

With a slight smile,

Qin Feng closed the kitchen door behind him,

and then carefully looked Song Qian over,

couldn't help but praise: "Auntie Song Qian, you look very beautiful in this outfit."

"Really?"

Song Qian's face flushed slightly,

she tidied the hair by her ear,

and then said: "They all said it looked good earlier, but I didn't quite believe it. Only when you say it looks good is it truly beautiful..."

"Mm, it's beautiful."

Qin Feng nodded,

praising Song Qian once more,

before turning on the faucet to wash his hands.

Meanwhile, Song Qian squatted down,

opened the cabinet under the sink,

took out a new bottle of hand soap, and handed it to Qin Feng...

A few minutes later,

seeing that Qin Feng and Song Qian were still in the kitchen

while Fang Yifan and the others had almost finished eating,

Qiao Yingzi hurriedly shouted: "Brother Qin Feng, Mom, come out and eat quickly. If you wait any longer, the food will get cold."

"Mm—"

Song Qian responded,

and then said: "Got it, I'll just wash some fruit and be right there."

Reluctantly rising,

Song Qian opened the refrigerator,

hastily rinsed a few apples,

and then opened the door, walking out one after the other with Qin Feng.

The mothers had already reserved seats for Qin Feng and Song Qian,

and Li Ping had even thoughtfully peeled shrimp for both of them,

though it was quite obvious

that the shrimp tails in Qin Feng's bowl were at least twice as many as those in Song Qian's.

With Sang Zhi's playful banter,
