"Pingting, I..."
"No need to explain, Brother Zenian. Actually, if you can give me a little bit of the attention you put on your work, it won't be too much, just a little bit... I will be very satisfied."
"Really..." Her voice trembled a little, but the look in her eyes when she looked at Chen Zenian was extremely serious.
Feng Pingting took a deep breath through her nose with a faint smile on her face. Her eyes were still a little moist, sparkling under the light, very clear and moving. No one could remain unmoved under such a gaze.
Chen Zenian is no exception.
When she was little, Pingting also had such big watery eyes. She always called him brother and asked him if he wanted candy...
He sighed slightly, and his tone became softer: "I know, I won't do it again next time."
"I was wrong."
Actually, if you think about it carefully, Pingting did nothing.
What Ling Qingyue did had nothing to do with her.
He shouldn't have taken his anger out on her because of Ling Qingyue.
Feng Pingting finally burst into laughter, and her cheeks turned red.
"Brother Zenian, you don't know how sad I was when I went back last time. You must compensate me!"
Her relationship with Chen Zenian returned to normal, and Feng Pingting regained her previous charming and willful young lady's personality.
Chen Zenian did not comment on this, and slightly opened his lips: "Is this meal not enough?"
"Not enough!" Feng Pingting said angrily.
"Then what do you want? I'll ask Chen San to buy it for you." Chen Zenian had a smile in his eyes.
"Well... let me think about it first! Anyway, you have to remember that you owe me a gift." Feng Pingting was a little stuck, but she didn't want to give up this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
She didn't want Brother Zenian to still treat her like a child, always perfunctorily giving her some dolls and fancy princess dresses.
She has grown up and become a mature woman.
"Okay, I'll remember that first."
It was just a gift, Chen Zenian didn't care.
Chen San will prepare these.
After chatting and joking for a while, Chen Zenian spoke casually.
"Didn't you say Uncle Feng no longer restricted you from going out? Why have you been staying at home all this time? Aren't you bored at home?"
The water in the glass swirled slowly, and the man's knuckles pressed against the bottom of the glass with a casual laziness.
Feng Pingting couldn't help but look towards the shaking wine glass. The constantly spinning vortex in the glass gripped her heart tightly, and her mind was completely immersed in it.
The man's face was somewhat blurry on the reflective wall of the glass. Although his facial features could not be seen clearly, the sense of oppression he gave was still strong.
Feng Pingting was speechless.
How should she answer?
She definitely couldn’t tell Brother Zenian what her mother had told her to do…
But she didn't want to lie to him.
The little girl was shallow-minded and couldn't hide anything. Her rosy lower lip had been bitten leaving a pale mark, and her pretty face was full of confusion.
Is this question so difficult to answer?
Chen Zenian had an idea in her mind. It seemed that Ling Qingyue didn't allow her to go out.
The logic is that he wanted to deal with Ling Feng and was afraid that his beloved daughter would be in danger, so he didn't let her run around.
"I... I'm reading at home. It's hot now. I'll sweat a lot if I play outside. It's better to stay at home."
Feng Pingting finally stammered and gave a reason.
This answer sounded like nonsense, Chen Zenian sneered and didn't delve into it too much.
"I see."
"By the way, your mother came to see me a few days ago."
While speaking, he slowly added juice to Feng Pingting's cup.
"Really? What does my mother want to see you for?" Feng Pingting's heart tightened and she asked nervously.
Didn’t mom say she wanted to deal with Ling Feng? Why is she looking for Brother Zenian?
Although the two of them didn't say it explicitly, she was not a fool. How could she not see that Brother Zenian and his mother had a bad relationship?
She was nervous inside, but she pretended to be calm on the surface.
"Oh, it's nothing actually."
"She asked me about Ling Feng."
Chen Zenian threw out a big bomb without making any noise.
"Ah? Why does she...she...ask you about Ling Feng?" Feng Pingting was shocked.
Didn’t mom say she was going to deal with Ling Feng? Why did she go to Brother Zenian to ask about Ling Feng?
What is going on?
Chen Zenian shook his head and said meaningfully, "I don't know about that. I was also surprised when she asked me. Ling Feng and I are just partners, so I don't know much about her identity. However, I think your mother seems to be very familiar with Ling Feng."
"Ling Feng and your mother both have the last name Ling. I thought they were relatives."
As soon as these words came out, it was like a thunderbolt hitting Feng Pingting's heart.
She suddenly remembered that her mother had asked her about Ling Feng several times, which was contrary to her usual practice. Whenever Ling Feng was mentioned, her mother's expression was unfriendly and full of disgust.
Before, she thought her mother hated Ling Feng so much because she was close to Chen Zenian.
Now that I think about it, my mother is a person who never shows her emotions. Even if she hates someone, she will keep it in her heart and not show it. How could she be so disgusted with Ling Feng just because she might have a relationship with Brother Zenian?
No, it would be more accurate to say hatred rather than disgust!
Feng Pingting still remembers that when she was a child, there was a woman who showed kindness to her father and tried to please her in order to win his favor. Even so, her mother never expressed her disgust for that woman directly.
Mom always solves problems calmly.
Why did mom lose control of her emotions when she met Ling Feng?
Could it be that Ling Feng is really someone my mother knows...
There is a connection between them that I don't know about...
Feng Pingting's mind was in turmoil, with countless thoughts flying around and tangled together, making it impossible to make sense of them.
"Why do you look so bad? Are you not feeling well?" Chen Zenian looked at her with concern when he noticed that something was wrong with the girl's face.
"Yes, a little bit..." Feng Pingting smiled reluctantly.
"Brother Zenian, let's stop eating here. I want to go home."
"Okay, I'll take you there."
"No need!" Feng Pingting hurriedly stopped him. Without waiting for Chen Zenian to speak, she explained, "I'd better go back by myself. If my dad sees you sending me home, then..."
"Are you okay alone?" Although Chen Zenian had other purposes today, he couldn't just ignore her when he saw that she was uncomfortable.
"I can do this!"
