Chapter 172 - Back Home
"Yes, Young Master Qin is a good man." Shi Feiye nodded affirmatively, his eyes sincere.
"What are you guys talking about here?" Zhou Qixiao's sister came over with a smile and sat next to Zhou Qixiao.
"I saw Miss Shi eating here with great relish, so I came over to try the food. I barely ate anything all afternoon, and I'm a little hungry now." Zhou Qixiao used the excuse he had discussed with his sister before coming here.
"You, you are such a grown-up, but you are still like a child." Zhou Qixiao's sister nodded Zhou Qixiao's head in amusement and said to Shi Feiye:
"Miss Shi, I'm the eldest daughter of the Zhou family. My name is Zhou Wen. I've always heard of you, but never had the chance to meet you. Seeing you today, you're even more beautiful than the rumors said. My brother is just like that. He loses his moral integrity when it comes to food. Don't be surprised."
"It's okay, it's okay. I like eating too. It's a trait of our country of foodies." Shi Feiye picked up a biscuit and handed it to Zhou Wen, "Miss Zhou, try this."
"Okay, I just saw you two eating here, and I'm a little greedy."
"I think the cookies here are really good, especially the matcha ones. But I don't dare eat so many at night. Girls are just miserable." Shi Feiye looked at the cookies on the table reluctantly. She had already eaten quite a few and couldn't eat any more, otherwise others would think she was uncultured.
"Ms. Shi, why should you be careful about what you eat? You've got such a great figure. Mr. Qin is so lucky to have a wife like Miss Shi. Not only is she beautiful, but she also sticks with her husband in times of trouble. My mother once told Ah Xiao that when she's looking for a wife in the future, she has to choose someone like Miss Shi. The two of you standing together look like a golden boy and a beautiful girl. I'm sure you must have a very good relationship, right?"
"Haha, it's just so-so. Aren't all couples like that?" Shi Feiye didn't dare to say that she and Qin Bulu had a good relationship, otherwise it would be embarrassing if they divorced in the future. It was better to just be so-so, so that it would be easier to explain what happened in the future.
"Hmm? Could it be that Miss Shi and Master Qin have encountered some problems?" Zhou Wen asked in a surprised tone.
"Who can predict what will happen in the future? It's hard to say about feelings, it's hard to say." Shi Feiye chuckled, not going into details. Zhou Wen laughed along, and some thoughts came to her mind.
Zhou Wen changed the subject, chatting about clothes and cosmetics, but she realized Shi Feiye knew very little about these things, so she turned the conversation back to work. It was then that she learned that Shi Feiye actually wrote novels. The two of them chatted about this for a long time until Qin Buzhu returned.
"Mr. Qin..." Zhou Wen greeted Qin Buzhu with a smile. Qin Buzhu nodded, but did not say anything to her. He only asked Shi Feiye, "Do you want to go back now?"
"Now? Okay..." Shi Feiye had long since stopped wanting to stay here. Not only was her ankle aching, but her entire body temperature was low. Although she had just had some snacks, she now wanted to drink some porridge or something to warm her stomach.
"Mr. Qin, our family's banquet hasn't even started yet. My parents have prepared a lot of delicious food for this banquet. Would you and Miss Shi want to try some before you leave?" Zhou Wen said with a smile.
"That's true. What good things in this world have my second brother not tasted?" Qian Bowen followed Qin Buzhu and came over, continuing Zhou Wen's words.
Zhou Wen's expression changed for a moment, but she quickly adjusted herself: "No, there's no way Young Master Qin hasn't tasted anything delicious in this world. I just came here out of kindness. If we leave without eating, it would seem like we're being inhospitable."
"Miss Zhou, your hospitality is very thoughtful. However, we still want to go back early, so we won't stay any longer."
Although Shi Feiye wanted to stay and enjoy the food, seeing how many people were there, she felt that even if she did, she wouldn't be able to enjoy the food, so she gave up the idea of joining in the fun. If she accidentally made a fool of herself, it wouldn't be worth it.
In front of everyone, Qin Buzhu pulled Shi Feiye up and nodded to the others: "Let's go."
Sun Quanzhang, Qian Bowen, and Zou Lianxun followed behind.
As they left, the others in the hall looked askance. Some even ran over to ask why they were leaving so early. Some even tried to stop them from leaving, but Qian Bowen and Zou Lianxun veiled their attacks without a word, and only then did they quiet down.
Arriving at the parking lot, Zou Lianxun stretched lazily. "I knew they wouldn't stop when the banquet started. Why don't I leave now? Am I waiting to get into trouble with them later? These people are really clueless. No wonder business is so bad."
Sun Quanzhang slapped him on the back:
"Calm down for a minute! You think everyone is born into a wealthy family like you and can receive guidance from Big Brother? Look around the country and you'll see how many people are eager to send their children to Big Brother. Stop looking down on others."
Qian Bowen was very surprised: "Don't you despise me, Fourth Brother?"
Sun Quanzhang said seriously, "Of course I despise you, but as a sincere and kind person, I keep my disdain to myself and at least give others some face."
Zou Lianxun: “…Puff——”
Qian Bowen took two steps back and looked for Qin Buzhu: "Second brother, seriously, if you don't take care of Fourth Brother, he's going to die."
Qin Buzhu and Shi Feiye walked side by side: "That's great, shoulder to shoulder with the sun."
Shi Feiye forced herself to suppress her laughter. When Boss Qin was with his funny brothers, he was always different from usual, his words were sharper than usual.
Sun Quanzhang and his companions boarded the car, while Shi Feiye also boarded Qin Buzhu's car. Shi Leng had just arrived after receiving the news from Qin Buzhu. As soon as the two of them boarded the car, they left without asking any questions.
"Let's go to Guangyuan Porridge Shop and turn on the heater in the car." Qin Buzhu suddenly said while sitting in the back seat.
Shi Leng didn't ask any questions, just turned the steering wheel and headed in another direction. Shi Feiye internally complained that the boss was also hungry and cold. Seeing him so calmly chatting with people in the hall, she had thought he was very comfortable.
When they arrived at the restaurant, lean meat congee was served, along with a bunch of side dishes. Shi Feiye didn't hesitate, pulling out her chopsticks and beginning to devour the food. After eating a lot of side dishes and drinking a few spoonfuls of congee, she glanced up and saw that Qin Buzhu was devouring the side dishes like delicacies. She ate two chopsticks of food, while he was lucky enough to swallow one.
This is the difference between a big shot and an ordinary person. Even at this time, he did not forget to show off his temperament. But she is the only one here. Is it necessary for her to try so hard to show off her temperament?
Shi Feiye shook his head inwardly and continued eating his own food.
After eating and drinking her fill, Qin Buzhu, who was sitting opposite her, only finished half of her porridge and most of the side dishes on the table. Shi Feiye only then felt that something was amiss:
"Did I eat too much?"
"not much.."
Shi Feiye looked at the other person's bowl obscurely. A big man who was nearly 1.9 meters tall only ate half a bowl of porridge for dinner, and only a few side dishes. She ate at least twice as much as him.
“You’re very active.”
Shi Feiye felt a little pain in her teeth as she looked at the other person's calm face. Very good, he is indeed a big boss. He said such shameless words without any guilt. Then she suddenly thought of a question:
"You're not hungry at all, are you bringing me here to eat on purpose?"
"Let's go, go back and rest early." Qin Bulu didn't answer her question, but stood up and motioned her to go with him.
Shi Feiye pursed her lips, stood up obediently with her bag, and followed him. She thought to herself, if this is really the case, then the boss's character is better than she thought.
When they got back, Qin Bulu asked Shi Feiye to wash up first. Shi Feiye didn't refuse. She had to take a bath and then soak her feet in hot water. If she didn't take care of her body after catching a cold when she was young, she would suffer when she got old.
Watching Shi Feiye take a change of clothes and go into the bathroom, the sound of running water soon filled the air, and a layer of fog gradually covered the frosted glass. Qin Bulu, holding a teacup, stood in front of the glass window connecting to the balcony of the living room.
Outside the window were thousands of lights, and the cool autumn breeze blew through the screens, blowing away the restlessness in one's heart. Qin Buzhu just sat there with his teacup, watching the lights flicker outside, listening to the occasional car horn in the distance.
His life can be divided into four periods. The first was when he was a child, raised by his parents, and his days were happy and simple. The second was after his parents left, when he studied hard with his grandfather, and his most common memory is catching up on classes. The third was after he joined Qin's, when he was busy all day for the company, his days seemed exciting but were actually monotonous. The fourth period was after he pretended to be bankrupt, when he truly experienced the true nature of life for the first time.
The food Shi Feiye cooked wasn't top-notch; honestly, for someone like him, who had always enjoyed fine food, it was just edible. She was pretty, but he wasn't one to particularly chase women; he looked at women based on their inner qualities and potential benefits.
Broadening the scope, the money she earns from her hard work writing barely covers her teeth. She doesn't wear makeup and doesn't bother to take good care of herself. Her biggest hobbies are playing games and eating snacks. Her only good habits are reading and exercising. Not to mention compared to his former partners or the women of his family acquaintances, even compared to his college classmates, Shi Feiye can't be considered outstanding.
If we raise the standard to that of a young lady of the Qin family, no matter how we look at it, Shi Feiye is not qualified.
But if we don't force these standards on her, then the trivial advantages she possesses are like the stars in the sky, seemingly insignificant, but so beautiful that no one can help but admire her.
She is not greedy for wealth and fame, has a positive outlook on life, has a sound moral code, has a bottom line and principles, and her conduct is impeccable. She is also kind and hardworking, and has an optimistic and positive attitude towards life. Most importantly, she truly lives her life seriously.
