Chapter 70

everyone enjoyed their dinner happily.

Tong Wenjie, sitting two seats away,

also secretly observed Song Qian from time to time.

From the expression Song Qian had when she walked out of the kitchen earlier,

Tong Wenjie knew

that Song Qian had made the right move, and was very happy for her.

However,

after the joy,

a sense of sourness couldn't help but well up in Tong Wenjie's heart,

and at the same time, she felt very envious of Song Qian.

Looking at Song Qian,

then looking at Qin Feng,

a bold idea suddenly popped into Tong Wenjie's mind:

How about I try that dress too?

Just as Tong Wenjie was simulating Qin Feng's surprise at seeing her in that dress in her mind,

her phone rang at an inopportune moment.

Tong Wenjie picked up her phone and took a look,

her face darkened instantly, and she immediately hung up the call.

But not long after,

the phone rang again.

Just as Tong Wenjie was about to hang up again,

Fang Yifan frowned and asked: "Mom, is that a call from Dad? Why aren't you answering it?"

[Hidden text/placeholder]

"No, it's not."

Tong Wenjie hurriedly shook her head to deny it: "Yifan, it's a colleague of Mom's, asking for help with something. It's so annoying, that's why Mom doesn't want to answer."

After Tong Wenjie finished speaking, she turned off her phone directly,

and her appearance at this moment

was seen by both Song Qian and Qin Feng.

Amidst the children's joyful laughter,

the meal lasted for over an hour before ending.

Then,

the mothers took the initiative to help Song Qian clear away the leftovers and the table,

and Qiao Yingzi took the lead in taking out textbooks and exercise books, looking at Qin Feng with anticipation.

Time for tutoring!

Qin Feng smiled and walked to the far left of the dining table.

Just as he sat down,

Sang Zhi moved her chair over.

Seeing this, Lin Miaomiao, who was sitting opposite,

also dragged her chair directly to Qin Feng's side,

and then started asking Qin Feng various questions while holding her test paper.

Sang Zhi knew

that Lin Miaomiao was squeezing her out,

but she was only in her second year of high school and couldn't compete with those two older sisters,

[Hidden text/placeholder]

so she could only pout and lie on the table, writing her homework in frustration.

Seeing this,

Qin Feng gently patted Sang Zhi's shoulder: "Sang Zhi, straighten your back, watch your posture."

Upon hearing this,

Sang Zhi immediately sat up perfectly straight, then looked at Qin Feng and said sweetly: "I know, Brother Qin Feng, thank you for caring about me so much."

Starting at 7 o'clock,

tutoring lasted until 9 o'clock in the evening,

and today's tutoring was finished.

Before leaving,

Qian Sanyi asked Qin Feng about a difficult problem that had been bothering him for a long time.

Then,

Qin Feng directly pointed out the problem-solving approach and the reason for the error.

Qian Sanyi thanked Qin Feng with a look of admiration on his face,

and then left Song Qian's home with Sang Zhi, Lin Miaomiao, and the others.

As they were leaving,

Sang Zhi specifically turned back to say: "Brother Qin Feng, see you tomorrow!"

Qin Feng waved with a smile, watching them enter the elevator,

and then walked toward his own home.

After returning home,

Qin Feng knew that Song Qian wouldn't come over that quickly,

so

he did some simple cleaning

before going to take a shower.

A few minutes later,

Qin Feng came out wearing only a bathrobe,

and was drying his hair

when the doorbell rang.

Qin Feng opened the door,

and Song Qian walked in quickly with a flushed face.

Just as she was about to bend down to change her shoes,

she was gently pressed by Qin Feng,

and she squatted down accordingly...

But not long after,

the doorbell rang again.

Qin Feng exchanged a surprised look with Song Qian,

and then opened the door.

Outside the door,

it was Tong Wenjie, wearing high heels and a beige trench coat.

Seeing Qin Feng,

Tong Wenjie smiled happily,

and just as she was about to reach out to untie the belt of her trench coat,

she saw Song Qian, who looked surprised and panicked.

"Qianqian?"

Tong Wenjie stood there, stunned and at a loss for what to do.

Qin Feng, however, smiled and reached out,

inviting Tong Wenjie to come inside...

The atmosphere at this moment

was somewhat strange, but mostly awkward.

Although Tong Wenjie had long since seen the earring Song Qian had left in Qin Feng's book,

and had guessed the situation between Song Qian and Qin Feng because of it,

still,

when she saw Song Qian appear in Qin Feng's living room with her own eyes,

Tong Wenjie still felt her face heat up.

Tong Wenjie had originally thought

that Song Qian would be like usual,

waiting until Qiao Yingzi finished her homework and went to bed,

before coming to find Qin Feng to talk about her worries.

That was why

Tong Wenjie had come to find Qin Feng at this time,

to chat about work matters and vent her long-suppressed feelings...

Seeing Tong Wenjie,

Song Qian was actually even more surprised.

Why did Tong Wenjie come at this hour?

Did she have something to discuss with Qin Feng?

And, on such a hot day,

Tong Wenjie was actually wearing high heels with a trench coat.

This combination looked awkward no matter how you looked at it.

The two of them sat at opposite ends of the sofa,

feeling somewhat awkward, not knowing what to say.

Qin Feng, however, smiled slightly,

then walked into the kitchen

and brought out a few bottles of ice-cold beer and some snacks.

Since both Song Qian and Tong Wenjie were here,

they might as well both stay.

Although the atmosphere was a bit awkward,

there was no need to worry,

as alcohol could effectively dissolve this awkwardness.

So,

the three of them sat on the sofa,

eating snacks and drinking beer,

each with their own thoughts,

chatting idly.

As they chatted,

Song Qian brought up Tong Wenjie's phone call.

Although Tong Wenjie had already explained that it was just a colleague from the company,

Song Qian, like Fang Yifan,

still thought it was a call from Fang Yuan that Tong Wenjie had deliberately ignored.

Seeing that she was misunderstood by Song Qian,

and with Qin Feng right there,

Tong Wenjie hesitated for a moment,

and then, emboldened by the alcohol, slowly began to talk about the various things she had been experiencing at the company lately.

First, there was no hope for a promotion, then her salary was inexplicably reduced,

followed by the company starting to lay off employees step by step,

which made Tong Wenjie feel immense pressure.

But just when Tong Wenjie had made up her mind to do her job even better,

her former assistant, Xiao Jin, suddenly rose to power,

and, contrary to her usual behavior, started bossing Tong Wenjie around.

Then there were the various explicit and implicit hints from her superior, Raymond, who even harassed Tong Wenjie in the company conference room.

The pressure from all sides

made the once optimistic and cheerful Tong Wenjie gradually unable to catch her breath.

These days,

Tong Wenjie had been considering resigning,

but because of the pressures of life and the plight of middle-aged professional women, she never dared to take that step.

As they drank and chatted,

Tong Wenjie's eyes gradually turned red.

Song Qian couldn't help but feel a bit more sympathy for Tong Wenjie,

so

Song Qian opened her arms and hugged Tong Wenjie tightly.

When she released her embrace,

she accidentally undid the belt of Tong Wenjie's trench coat...

Then,

Song Qian was stunned,

and Qin Feng was also somewhat surprised.

Tong Wenjie, however, felt a bit shy and didn't dare to look Song Qian in the eye.

Looking at Tong Wenjie,

then looking at Qin Feng,

Song Qian finally understood.

So,

Tong Wenjie had also come to find Qin Feng to talk about things tonight...

Although during this time,

Song Qian had already learned from Tong Wenjie's fragmented words that Tong Wenjie had found a new relationship,

but,

Song Qian truly hadn't expected

that the person Tong Wenjie spoke of, who could make her forget all her troubles and feel incredibly happy and joyful,

was actually Qin Feng as well.

For a moment,

Song Qian was overwhelmed with mixed feelings and felt somewhat at a loss.

Tong Wenjie, in order to ease the awkwardness,

had no choice but to frequently raise her glass and toast with Qin Feng and Song Qian.

Not long after,

the ice-cold beer on the table was finished,

and Qin Feng got up to go to the kitchen to get more beer.
