Chapter 28 Coco, I used to hold you when you were little.

As evening approached, Fang Ke and Zhao Qi enjoyed the stunning sunset side by side before the yacht headed back.

"Junior, how about I treat you to a meal tonight? If you don't want hot pot, what would you like to eat?"

Fang Ke felt that she had indeed bothered Zhao Qi all day, and with the free cruise and the free appearance of a high-quality handsome guy, she thought she had made a huge profit.

She also took a whole phone full of stunning photos, enough to fill an 18-grid Weibo post, a 9-grid WeChat Moments post, and a week's worth of Douyin posts.

Zhao Qi held his phone, which displayed one of the photos of the two of them that Fang Ke had sent him not long ago.

It was at the very end that Fang Ke complained he was too far away, so she pulled him over, and Zhao Qi helped her up in the candid shot.

Well, the atmosphere in this photo is really peculiar.

Anyone unaware of the situation would be immediately captivated by the two's stunning good looks.

Their expressions were a mix of fierceness and domineering on one side, and helplessness and indulgence on the other.

The two didn't look like a couple, but their posture was very intimate.

If I had to describe it, they're a bit like siblings from a wealthy family who're used to bickering and have a love-hate relationship.

Zhao Qi's attention, however, was drawn to the five fingers that were wrapped around the other person's slender waist. He couldn't help but rub his fingers together for a moment in his pocket.

In the situation just now, Fang Ke's clothes shifted slightly, and although Zhao Qi tried his best to avoid touching any exposed areas, he was careful not to.

But my little finger still touched it.

It's very subtle; the touch on the little finger is soft and very delicate, and if you press it deeper, you can feel a rebound force.

Zhao Qi turned off his phone screen. His heart, which had been pounding all day, gradually calmed down, but each beat became stronger than the last.

He felt he had found the people and things that had interested him most in recent years.

His eyes, as bright as stars, were fixed on Fang Ke, a smile he himself was unaware of. Just as he was about to answer her, the yacht suddenly stopped.

They hadn't reached the shore yet, so they shouldn't have stopped the boat so casually. Zhao Qi frowned, and someone immediately came up to report.

"Young master, it seems we've run into the master's ship."

Zhao Qi: "..."

You can see his face change from surprise and speechlessness to impatience.

"What's that old man doing here? Wasn't he in South America?"

The subordinate clearly didn't know anything about the chairman's whereabouts, and Zhao Qi, finding him a nuisance, dismissed him.

Zhao Qi quickly calmed down and gave Fang Ke a cryptic look.

Fang Ke immediately understood: "Did we run into your family? Um, should I hide you?"

But if we're talking about hiding her, where can she hide her? The yacht is only so big; are we suggesting she jump into the sea now and swim back to Jingzhou?

Zhao Qi looked troubled. "Why don't you swim back?"

Fang Ke: ? ? ?

Fang Ke grabbed his collar in anger and roared, "Are you even human?"

"Who was it yesterday who said they would never abandon their female companion halfway through the journey!?"

"What, do I have something to hide? If your dad saw me, he'd probably praise you for your good taste, for getting such a beautiful woman."

Zhao Qi's earlobes turned pink instantly. "Can you tone down your words a little? You're a woman."

What are you doing?

He failed to get his hands on it again.

"You still know I'm a woman? Who was it that told me, a weak woman, to swim back to Jingzhou?"

"You... a weak woman?" Zhao Qi almost burst out laughing. He had only intended to tease Fang Ke, but he hadn't expected her reaction to be so amusing.

As the two pushed and shoved each other, a group of people came up from the stairwell.

Then one could hear the newcomer's voice, which was full of energy and extremely unrestrained.

"Xiao Qi, Dad has come to see you."

Zhao Qi: "..."

Zhao Qi stopped moving, suddenly grabbed Fang Ke, and turned to face the group of people.

Fang Ke was forcibly put her arm around his shoulder, and could only look up to see Zhao Qi's clean and handsome profile.

She even tried to signal with her eyes and eyebrows. What did that mean?

Is she going to be dating her junior again?

Zhao Qi held her tightly and asked Zhao Xingheng, who had come up to him, "Dad, when did you get back?"

Fang Ke was astonished. The handsome middle-aged man in front of her, wearing beach shorts and a floral shirt, sunglasses and a gold chain around his neck, a Rolex on his wrist, and a gold Pixiu bracelet, was Zhao Qi's father?

With that demeanor, that figure, and that appearance, he looks like someone in his thirties.

He looks just like Zhao Qi's older brother.

Zhao Xingheng: "I came back yesterday. I had an appointment with a friend to discuss business today. We were just about to have dinner on our island when we ran into your boat. That saves us a lot of trouble. Shall we go together?"

As he spoke, his smiling eyes fell on Fang Ke, paused slightly, and then turned sharp.

"This is……"

Zhao Qi looked down and exchanged a glance with Fang Ke. Fang Ke could tell from his expression that he wanted her to pretend to be his girlfriend.

Fang Ke sighed softly, wondering what kind of work she was taking on every day.

Fang Ke could only force a smile, "Hello, Uncle, I am..."

But she was interrupted by another voice as soon as she opened her mouth.

"Fang Ke, what are you doing here?"

Fang Ke was slightly taken aback. The voice was magnetic, deep, and cold, and she felt a little familiar with it.

Sure enough, a man wearing a white shirt and black trousers, with a beaded bracelet on his wrist and a distinctive ponytail, walked up from behind.

Bathed in the sea breeze and the glow of the setting sun, Yes's features were so handsome that words could hardly describe them.

Fang Ke was almost stunned for a moment, especially when she saw the man's ponytail being blown down to his broad shoulders by the wind. Fang Ke felt that this man was a man who had stepped out of a comic book, and came from another dimension.

He didn't fit in with his surroundings.

Zhao Qi pinched her cheek in annoyance.

"Is it pretty? Look away."

Fang Ke, feeling a little embarrassed, elbowed Zhao Qi.

She's not even his real girlfriend, yet she's being so nosy.

Looks great! I love watching it! She'd give a thumbs up to all the handsome men in the world!

"Fang Ke? You're that deadbeat Fang Zhen's daughter?"

Zhao Xingheng's face showed surprise, and the sharp light in his eyes softened.

"No wonder she looked so familiar. She really is Fang Zhen's daughter, Keke. I even held you when you were little."

Fang Ke & Zhao Qi: "..."

Fang Ke: Huh??

What direction is this heading?

Little B's science popularizer is online in real time: "Host, this should be the original owner's adoptive father's close friend. He is not mentioned much in the original work, and I don't have complete information on him either, but it seems that he is full of goodwill towards you."

Fang Ke could see that Zhao Xingheng was full of goodwill, and he even excitedly came up and hugged her.

Fang Ke glanced at the top of his head, and unsurprisingly, it also read "A. Zhao Xingheng".

Fang Ke was just wondering, didn't this Uncle Zhao know that she had been kicked out of the Fang family's house?

She hadn't seen Fang Zhen for over two years and didn't know if the man who had been her father for 20 years still recognized her as his daughter.

Zhao Xingheng was visibly pleased: "They're all family now, Coco, let's go to the island for dinner together."

He then pulled his son in front of Fang Ke: "Xiao Qi, do you remember when you two used to play house together when you were little? You were the groom, and Xiao Qi was dressed up as the bride. You even said that you would marry him when you grew up and give him a proper status..."

"dad!"

Zhao Qi's face is absolutely stunning.

Zhao Qi glared at Fang Ke one last time, while Fang Ke looked shocked and innocent, "...I don't remember."

Help! What kind of emotional debt did the original owner owe?!

Zhao Qi chuckled: "I don't remember either. I just remember someone forcing me to wear women's clothes."

Fang Ke: "..."

Zhao Xingheng was still laughing heartily, "Xiao Qi looks so good in women's clothes."

Faced with Zhao Qi's "kind" smile, Fang Ke slowly moved backward, accidentally bumping into another person.

Yes reached out and helped her up. His cold eyes were lowered, his long hair was dancing wildly in the air, and his expression was unreadable.

Surprisingly, the man spoke a second time, "Aren't you going to explain this to people?"
