Chapter 158: Just a shield

Not long after Feng Jingxin called Rong Ci, the car Feng Tingshen sent to pick up Feng Jingxin had already arrived.

In the end, Feng Jingxin didn't wait for Rong Ci to return before getting in the car and leaving.

Arriving at the private room, Feng Jingxin threw herself into the arms of Feng Tingshen and Lin Wu: "Dad, Aunt Wuwu!"

Feng Tingshen smiled and rubbed her head, while Lin Wu helped her put her backpack to the side.

In the private room, He Zhangbai, Qi Yuming, and Sun Liyao were all there.

Seeing Feng Jingxin missing Feng Tingshen and Lin Wu so much, Qi Yuming smiled: "Tingshen, I said you should have taken Xin Xin abroad with you; look, it's only been a few days, and she misses you two so much. If you had come back a few days later, Xin Xin would probably have cried."

Qi Yuming said this as if Feng Jingxin had been wronged by following Rong Ci.

He Zhangbai paused, and before Feng Tingshen and the others could speak, he shifted the topic, asking: "Did Xin Xin go out to play these few days?"

Feng Jingxin sat down and said: "Yes, Mom took me to watch a movie, play VR games, and eat."

Qi Yuming: "That's it?"

"That's it." Feng Jingxin said nonchalantly: "Mom was too busy and didn't have much time to accompany me."

Qi Yuming thought Feng Jingxin saying Rong Ci was busy meant she was busy dealing with relatives and human relationships during the Spring Festival.

After all, he and He Zhangbai had spent it like this.

They hadn't been free since the end of last year; these few days, they finally managed to deal with all the relatives and had to start working again, being busy for several days in a row, before finally finding some time today to have a meal and gather with Feng Tingshen and He Zhangbai to relax.

Lin Wu was reading.

Feng Jingxin was bored, flipped through it, and took a look at the cover; after seeing it, she felt it looked familiar and couldn't help but take two extra looks.

He Zhangbai asked: "Is Xin Xin also interested in this kind of book?"

Feng Jingxin shook her head: "No, just discovered that my mom also has a copy of this book."

Hearing this, Lin Wu paused slightly and curled her lips.

This book had the same cover for the beginner version and the advanced version.

Hers was the advanced version; let alone an undergraduate, even when she was studying for her doctorate, she couldn't come into contact with such in-depth content.

Lin Wu had been reading diligently recently; Sun Liyao ran to the Lin family every day, so she really knew that this book had a beginner version and an advanced version.

Hearing Feng Jingxin say this, she also subconsciously felt that what Rong Ci was reading must be the beginner version.

She almost laughed out loud.

But because Feng Tingshen and He Zhangbai were there, she held back and didn't make a sound.

He Zhangbai guessed it.

Hearing Feng Jingxin say this, he lowered his head and smiled, not speaking.

At this moment, Qi Yuming seemed to have remembered something, raised an eyebrow, looked at He Zhangbai, and smiled: "Zhangbai, heard that Auntie has been dragging you to blind dates these few days? How is it? Are there any suitable ones?"

This sentence successfully attracted everyone's attention.

Sun Liyao had also heard about this.

And precisely because of this, she was even more anxious.

Hearing this, she stared nervously at He Zhangbai.

He Zhangbai acted as if Sun Liyao didn't exist, only glancing faintly at Qi Yuming: "Would you die if you didn't gossip for a day?"

Qi Yuming said with a grin: "I'm just curious."

He Zhangbai didn't speak.

Everyone could see that He Zhangbai was not willing to go on blind dates.

What he meant by not speaking, everyone naturally understood.

Qi Yuming couldn't help but say: "Speaking of which, how are you and that 'aunt' of Seeing Dan Dan's doing now? Since you like her, why don't you just tell Auntie directly? Or is it that that 'aunt' of Seeing Dan Dan's has a background too disparate from your family, and you're worried Auntie won't agree, so..."

He Zhangbai didn't look at Feng Tingshen, interrupting Qi Yuming's words: "Can't all this food block your mouth?"

The more He Zhangbai didn't speak, the more curious Qi Yuming became.

He said: "You're worried you can't pass Auntie's hurdle, so you can't bring her back, but it's been so long, bringing her over for me and Tingshen to see should be fine, right?"

After these words, without waiting for He Zhangbai to speak, he said to Feng Tingshen: "Don't you think so, Tingshen?"

Feng Tingshen smiled, looked at He Zhangbai, and then opened his mouth: "When the timing is mature, I estimate you don't even need to urge him, Zhangbai will bring her over for us to see; let's not interfere."

Qi Yuming: "..."

Who doesn't know this principle?

He was just curious, okay?

Sun Liyao tugged at Lin Wu's sleeve: "Sister..."

Previously, in order to persuade her to give up, Qi Yuming had told her that He Zhangbai already had someone he liked.

She didn't believe it at the time.

Now it seemed it was true.

Lin Wu, however, smiled faintly, her expression relaxed, and she didn't speak.

Seeing Dan Dan having an aunt they hadn't met was definitely true.

It was just...

Did He Zhangbai really care about the other party that much? Or, that aunt of Seeing Dan Dan's was just a shield, and He Zhangbai doing this might just be to keep people from knowing who he really liked.
