Chapter 305: A Surprise for the Family of Three

It was the evening of the 8th.

The air conditioner was on in the living room.

The two of them rarely sat together to watch TV.

The TV was airing the news.

Tomorrow night is the Spring Festival Gala, and the news reported on its preparations.

Lin Feng also saw Han Xiang and Song Jiaren rehearsing.

Aside from this news item, Lin Feng's attention wasn't on the news.

Qi Yao had been watching TV seriously, but Lin Feng soon made her lose the mood to watch.

"Yao Yao…"

Lin Feng held Qi Yao on his lap and said softly.

"Hmm?"

Qi Yao responded.

"It's still early; how about I tell you a story?"

Lin Feng said with a smile.

"Sure!"

Qi Yao nodded.

"It's a myth about a mountain sprite and a clam sprite joining forces to fight a divine dragon…"

Lin Feng had just begun.

Qi Yao stood up, saying, "Wait a moment!"

She said and went into the room.

She took a rectangular box from the room and handed it to Lin Feng.

Lin Feng looked at Qi Yao, surprised.

Qi Yao said, "I've thought about it; let's use this!"

Lin Feng tossed the box into the trash, put his arms around Qi Yao, and said, "No need; let's keep it as before."

Qi Yao felt a bit strange.

Lin Feng gave a wry smile and said, "When you bought it, you should have checked the number!"

Qi Yao suddenly understood.

But at the time she felt embarrassed, and while checking out at the supermarket, she just grabbed a box at random.

"Next… next time I'll look more carefully."

Qi Yao's face flushed, and she said somewhat embarrassedly.

"Let's continue the story!"

Lin Feng held her in his arms again.

A few minutes later!

"Ding-dong~"

Just as Lin Feng was halfway through his story, the doorbell rang.

"Who is it?"

Lin Feng furrowed his brows.

Interrupted while he and Yao Yao were telling a story, a surge of anger rose in Lin Feng's chest.

Qi Yao immediately got up, went to the door, and looked outside through the peephole.

What appeared before her eyes was a smiling face.

It was her younger brother, Qi Lei.

Behind Qi Lei stood their father and mother.

Qi Yao hurried back, a little flustered, and said, "It's my parents and younger brother who've come."

Lin Feng was startled and quickly got up.

Qi Yao went back to her room to change clothes.

Lin Feng ran to the bathroom.

"Ding-dong~"

"Ding-dong~"

Qi Lei pressed it every few seconds.

If he couldn't hear the voices from behind the door, he would have thought the doorbell was broken.

"Don't press it; call instead!"

Qi Zhengwei said.

Shu Xiaohui looked at Qi Lei and said, "It's all your fault for driving so slow; we didn't get here until eight at night."

Qi Lei said with a bitter face, "I'm not familiar with the roads in Yanjing, and you won't let me call Sister and Brother-in-law."

"Would calling still be a surprise?"

"Call now! They might not be home." Qi Zhengwei added.

Qi Lei took out his phone and dialed his sister Qi Yao's number.

But after a minute, no one answered.

Next, he called Lin Feng.

Lin Feng's phone was on the coffee table in the living room.

The bell rang loudly; even those standing outside the door could hear it.

Then, the three of them stared at each other.

I understand!

This isn't the right time to come!

Qi Lei got flicked on the forehead a few more times by Shu Xiaohui.

"How about we leave?"

Qi Zhengwei said.

Just then……

"Click~"

The door opened.

Qi Yao, wearing a white down jacket, appeared behind the door.

"Dad, Mom, little brother, how did you guys come?"

Qi Yao widened her eyes.

Shu Xiaohui smiled and said, "We came to Yanjing to spend the New Year with you!"

"Yeah, sis!"

Qi Lei laughed and said, "After the New Year, we'll head back on the afternoon of the first day."

"It's cold outside; hurry in!"

Qi Yao stepped aside.

Just then Lin Feng came out, fully dressed.

"Uncle, Aunt, Xiao Lei!" Lin Feng greeted with a smile.

The three of them laughed.

They laughed, a little awkwardly.

"Please have a seat; I'll go make you a cup of tea."

Lin Feng said as he went into the kitchen.

Qi Yao hurried over and closed the door to the workroom.

Inside were many specimens; if Mom and Dad saw them, they'd be frightened.

Shu Xiaohui sat down.

With lightning speed, she tucked back the lace-edged thing that had peeked out from behind the sofa cushion.

She lifted her foot and kicked the trash bag holding a blue box under the coffee table.

These two are so careless!

Shu Xiaohui silently shook her head.

Qi Yao is busy all day and has no leisure to brew tea.

So she doesn't have any tea utensils here.

Lin Feng brewed three cups of tea in glass glasses and placed them before the three of them.

"Don't bother; we won't drink tea tonight."

Shu Xiaohui said.

Qi Zhengwei gave a hehe laugh, "Let's drink!"

Saying that, he took out a bottle of unlabeled liquor from the bag he was carrying and said, "This is aged brew I got from a friend's winery; it won't get you drunk."

Then he also produced a bag of peanuts he had roasted himself.

"Good!"

Lin Feng nodded.

Qi Yao walked over and asked, "Dad, Mom, you haven't eaten yet, right?"

Qi Lei said, "We've been driving for two days, and all we've eaten on the road is instant noodles."

Qi Yao went into the kitchen to cook steak.

Lin Feng washed two red-wine glasses and poured the bulk aged brew that Qi Zhengwei had brought.

The red-wine glasses were big enough; they held exactly two glasses.

The two sat beside the coffee table, drinking and shelling peanuts.

Qi Yao finished the steak and brought it to the coffee table.

Then she sat beside Lin Feng.

"You drove here, so why do you have to leave the day after tomorrow afternoon?"

Lin Feng asked.

Qi Lei said, "My dad bought a car for my older sister and asked me to bring it over. Sis, it's an automatic; you'll pick it up right away. Learn to drive, and commuting will be easier and safer."

"I haven't even gotten my driver's license yet!"

Qi Yao shook her head.

Lin Feng smiled and said, "No problem, I'll get you one."

Qi Yao didn't object.

Lin Feng asked again, "Have you bought the plane tickets?"

Qi Lei shook his head, "I've checked; tickets for the first day are easy to get."

"Don't buy tickets; I'll have a plane fly you back!"

He said, Lin Feng picked up his phone, called the captain, canceled tomorrow morning's flight, changed the itinerary to fly to Hangzhou in the afternoon of the 10th, leaving the rest of the schedule unchanged.

After eating and drinking, Qi Zhengwei, Shu Xiaohui, and Qi Lei got up to leave.

When they came, the hotel had already been booked.

No need for Lin Feng to worry about lodging.

Lin Feng laughed and said, "Let's cancel the hotel! I just finished fixing up a residence—let's all move there!"

Lin Feng was talking about the Sihe Courtyard he bought for ten billion.

Everything that needed to be demolished has been demolished, and everything that needed to be cleared out and renovated has been renovated.

All of it uses high-end eco-friendly materials.

Now the only thing left is that some layouts in the courtyard are still being renovated.

Lin Feng arrived at the underground parking lot first, then called Liu Cangyun to ask about the situation in the Sihe Courtyard.

Such a large residence had long since hired several servants to maintain it.

Liu Cangyun wasn't in Yanjing at the time; after receiving Lin Feng's call, she immediately contacted the servants.

The drunken Qi Zhengwei was helped out the door by Qi Lei.

Shu Xiaohui closed the door, took out that black item from behind the sofa cushion, and put it in the bathroom.

Then she also took out a trash bag from under the coffee table, took out the box, and handed it to Qi Yao, saying, "Keep it safe—how could you just throw it away!"

Qi Yao waved her hand and said, "It's too small; I have no use for it."

Only after saying that did she realize…

It was mainly embarrassment; when embarrassed, she didn't know what to do and ended up saying things unnaturally.

Now it was even more embarrassing.
