Chapter 380: If we can't talk it out, then forget it

The situation Lin Feng wanted to see did not appear.

Zhu Li had already fallen asleep.

Wen Keke was holding a childcare book and reading it.

Seeing Lin Feng come in, Wen Keke covered her mouth and smiled.

Lin Feng ran up and took a look at Zhu Li.

She was sleeping soundly.

Lin Feng shook his head, turned around, and left quietly.

Just as he was about to go out, someone put their arms around his neck.

In that instant, Lin Feng understood.

He was betrayed by Wen Keke, or Zhu Li discovered it on her own.

What a pity!

"Chivalrous Zhu, spare my life!"

Lin Feng shouted.

Zhu Li laughed and said, "As soon as I entered the room today, I smelled your scent."

"May I ask, what scent is it?"

Lin Feng asked curiously.

"Guess."

9 a. m. on the 26th.

Zhu Li went to work early in the morning.

Wen Keke went out for a walk.

Lin Feng, looking exhausted, arrived at the balcony and took a few breaths of fresh air.

Then he went downstairs to have breakfast.

At ten o'clock, Zhao Xiaoyang drove over, bringing Wang Yu to the villa.

"Hello, Sister-in-law Wen!"

Seeing Wen Keke, Wang Yu smiled and greeted her.

"Hello!"

Wen Keke, with her big belly, was very enthusiastic toward Wang Yu.

The four of them sat down in the living room.

Lin Feng asked Wang Yu: "Has school let out for vacation?"

Wang Yu nodded, "Vacation started yesterday; I came over by plane yesterday afternoon."

Lin Feng nodded.

Wang Yu is on vacation, so Jiang Xiaofei must be on vacation too.

At that moment, Lin Feng's phone rang.

It was Jiang Xiaofei calling.

Lin Feng got up and went outside to answer the call.

"Hello~"

"I'm on summer break here; I want to go home for a trip to see my mom and return together with Aunt Qiu."

The Aunt Qiu that Jiang Xiaofei mentioned is Chen Yingqiu.

"When?"

Lin Feng asked.

"I've booked the flight for the first of next month."

Jiang Xiaofei replied.

"I'm not at ease letting the three of you go back like that; I'll arrange two people to accompany you later."

"Okay!"

"You can stay a few more days at home; if your mother is willing to come to Yanjing, let her live there!"

"Mm! Where are you? I miss you."

Jiang Xiaofei asked.

"I'm currently in Xiangjiang; it might take a while before I can go back. Enjoy your summer break and rest well—don't bury yourself in books all day…"

Lin Feng gave a series of instructions.

After hanging up, he immediately called the female bodyguard captain and arranged for two people to go over.

Zhao Xiaoyang and Wang Yu couldn't sit still.

The two of them also hadn't seen each other in a long time.

After chatting for a while, the two went out shopping.

Lin Feng, of course, stayed behind to keep Wen Keke company.

Wen Keke is the one who needs companionship the most.

No matter how capable Zhu Li is, she's still just a woman.

Without Lin Feng saying sweet nothings, just staying at home makes Wen Keke feel the house is warm and cozy, and also gives her a strong sense of security.

After her emotions calmed down, the baby in her belly became much more obedient.

Wang Yu and Zhao Xiaoyang happily went in and out of the various shopping malls in Xiangjiang,

At the same time, Wang Yu's cousin Wang Si, as well as Qi Yao's younger brother Qi Lei, were also in Xiangjiang.

Qi Lei is on a business trip to Xiangjiang this time, and will stay for more than half a month.

Wang Si quit her job and went with Qi Lei to Xiangjiang.

Wang Si's education isn't high; the jobs she finds are either as a company receptionist or a mall cashier.

Even so, the Qi family didn't look down on her.

Wang Si's temperament is completely different from her older cousin's; she is a calm girl.

Qi Lei likes girls like that.

The two have already confirmed their relationship, live together, and plan to marry by the end of the year.

"Um… okay, aunt! I understand…"

While shopping with Qi Lei, Wang Si was on the phone for quite a while.

It was Qi Lei's mother, Shu Xiaohui, calling.

After the call ended, Qi Lei asked curiously, "What did my mom say to you?"

Wang Si felt a bit embarrassed.

"Quick, tell me, quick!"

Seeing Wang Si's expression, Qi Lei became even more curious.

Wang Si whispered, "Your mother said that once you have a child, you should marry early."

Qi Lei scratched his head, "What's your opinion?"

Wang Si hesitated, "I think we're still young; let's marry first and have children a few years later!"

Qi Lei nodded, "I think the same. My sister still hasn't had a child! As the younger brother, I can't jump ahead, right?"

Wang Si nodded.

At that moment, the two were standing at the entrance of a café.

They had been shopping all morning; their feet were sore and they were sweating.

Summers in Xiangjiang are also very hot.

Then the two walked into the café, found a window seat, and sat down.

They ordered two cups of coffee.

Wang Si watched the bustling pedestrians outside and felt very content.

She understood that the Qi family wasn't short of money.

Qi Lei is now working not for money but to have something to do.

People would get bored staying idle at home every day.

Qi Lei mentioned his sister Qi Yao, "The two of us can get married, but my sister can't."

Wang Si naturally understood what Qi Lei meant, frowned, and said, "You don't mean you want to be like your brother‑in‑law, do you?"

Qi Lei quickly raised his hand and swore, "Wang Si, rest assured, I'll only be good to you in this life. I'm not like that brother‑in‑law… that kind of fickle man."

Qi Lei originally intended to say the words "scumbag".

But thinking of Lin Feng, who isn't that kind of person, he quickly changed his wording.

At that moment, two men in their thirties walked in.

Both wore blue suits, their hair neatly combed, exuding an aura that made one instantly think of successful businessmen.

Upon entering, one of the men glanced around the café.

Then he immediately recognized Qi Lei.

Qi Lei's trip to Xiangjiang this time was to represent a company in a business deal with him.

The initiative was in his own hands.

So when he saw Qi Lei, the man's mouth twitched upward, and he instantly felt a surge of superiority.

"Mr. Qi, I didn't expect you to be here!"

The man stepped forward and greeted Qi Lei.

"Hello, Manager Zhao!"

Qi Lei stood up and said with a smile.

The man's surname is Zhao, given name Zhao Jiawei, and he is a native of Xiangjiang.

Zhao Jiawei and his assistant sat opposite Qi Lei and Wang Si.

Then they introduced themselves to each other.

Zhao Jiawei's assistant is named Yang Kuan.

"Hello, Miss Wang!"

Zhao Jiawei extended his hand to Wang Si.

Wang Si only smiled and nodded.

Zhao Jiawei awkwardly withdrew his hand.

Looking at Wang Si, Zhao Jiawei harbored a lewd thought.

He thought, Qi Lei is asking me to sign a contract; this girlfriend… haha!

That's a contract worth tens of millions.

If Qi Lei succeeds, according to the circle's rules, he could earn a bonus of at least a hundred‑plus thousand to two hundred thousand.

That amount of money for a girlfriend is an unbeatable bargain.

Zhao Jiawei thought so because he had done this kind of thing more than once or twice.

Of course, the 'girlfriends' he kept around were only nominal; in reality, they were bought with money.

Seeing Zhao Jiawei's strange look, Qi Lei felt a bit displeased.

Then, with a smile, he stood up and said, "Manager Zhao, I still have something to attend to; let's discuss it another day."

Saying that, he reached for Wang Si's hand and prepared to leave.

Zhao Jiawei frowned, lifted his coffee cup, and slammed the cup heavily onto the table.

Bang~

The sudden sound startled all the nearby customers.

Then Zhao Jiawei laughed and said, "Mr. Qi, now that you're leaving, the cooperation between our two companies can't be discussed any more!"

Qi Lei laughed and replied, "It's fine; if it can't be done, that's that!"
