Chapter 632 Who to Confess To?
Hou Kai continued, "Not only that, the boss also issued a lot of shopping cards, requiring everyone in the sect to buy things from your shop."
Fearing that Zhou Qiao wouldn't believe them, the group even showed her the orders and chat history on their phones.
Zhou Qiao was completely stunned after reading it.
She felt that the world was very different from what she had imagined.
So... the reason her Taobao store suddenly became so successful was all because of Qin Feng?
She recalled the night her traffic surged. She had always thought it was because the platform had given her good promotion, but in reality, all that traffic was generated by Qin Feng.
There was also the "clever husband" who bought several hundred of her handmade items in one go. At the time, she thought he was a primary school student and returned the money.
But now that I think about it, that person was also Qin Feng.
The ID hadn't given her much thought before, but now that she'd met the person, her face instantly turned bright red.
This person... could they come up with any ID they want?
They insisted on using this name!
However, this thought only flashed through her mind for a moment before she realized that when her shop received a surge in orders, she thought it was due to the influx of customers, but it was actually Qin Feng's doing.
She said, "Why were all those customers so easy to talk to back then?"
She hesitated for a moment, then pointed at Hou Kai: "So, 'KAIKAI is your brother,' it's you?"
Hou Kai coughed lightly: "Yes, it's me."
"Is 'There are houses of gold in books' an old saying?"
Old Qi chuckled: "Yes, sister-in-law."
"So the remaining 'cute kid' is Ayan, and the 'cold-faced blade' is Han Xu, right?"
Ayan and Han Xu both nodded.
Zhou Qiao: "..."
Her life suddenly became magical.
She said that these IDs seemed so strange at the time.
Now that they were face to face, she finally understood what was strange.
Because these people were right next to her!
She let out a long breath, her thoughts a complex mix of emotions.
For a moment, she was annoyed that she had been so stupid as to not notice the clues, and on the other hand, she was disheartened that her shop was actually quite deserted.
But when she thought about how Qin Feng had done all of this for her, she felt a strange, indescribable feeling welling up inside her.
Why would he do these things for himself?
Could it be that, as these boys are saying, he... likes her?
Seeing that Zhou Qiao was softening, Hou Kai quickly continued, "Sister-in-law, actually, the eldest brother is just not one to show off or express himself well, but he has really done a lot for you in private."
"Besides these, the late-night snacks you eat every night are specially arranged by him. Also, you should have noticed that the boss doesn't like pets, but do you know why he doesn't like them?"
Zhou Qiao didn't understand: "Why?"
Old Qi sighed and continued, "The eldest brother is allergic to pet fur. Sneezing and runny nose are the least of his problems. If you touch it, he will break out in rashes all over his body."
Zhou Qiao was completely stunned.
Her thoughts immediately drifted back to this morning, and she remembered how he resisted when she held the duck and the puppy and let him pet them.
She thought it was because he disliked pets, and she was secretly pleased at the time.
But now that I think about it, it was all because he was enduring physical discomfort.
A wave of regret and self-reproach washed over her, and she gritted her teeth, saying, "Is he an idiot? How could he endure something like this?!"
Ayan spoke up, "Sister-in-law, don't you like it?"
Zhou Qiao fell silent.
So, just because "she likes it," he can allow her to let ducks and dogs fly and run all over the house, he can tolerate the house full of fur, he can tolerate allergies, and he can casually say, "If you like it, that's fine."
Zhou Qiao felt as if a piece of her heart had suddenly collapsed, and an indescribable bitterness welled up in her heart, causing her eyes to involuntarily redden.
Seeing this, the boys sighed. Hou Kai further said, "Sister-in-law, the reason why the eldest brother doesn't want you to leave is because he can't bear to part with you and is afraid that you won't live well on your own outside. It's not that he really wants to restrict your freedom."
Old Qi chimed in, "Sister-in-law, we know you've always been afraid of the eldest brother and unwilling to get close to him, but in all the time you've been in the sect, have you actually seen him do anything truly heinous?"
"He single-handedly supports the entire Shadow Gate. In addition, in our line of work, we inevitably encounter people with ulterior motives, ruthless natures, and those who deliberately cause trouble. Therefore, our boss must remain unpredictable and intimidating to outsiders. But in reality, he has always treated his own people very well."
Ayan nodded: "Every year, the eldest brother personally takes me to offer incense to my parents."
Hou Kai lowered his eyes: "My parents passed away early in the family. The reason I can be so carefree is because my eldest brother treats me like his own family."
"Yeah, if it weren't for the boss, I don't know where I'd be sleeping under some bridge." Old Qi sighed.
Han Xu said in a deep voice, "If it weren't for the boss, I would be dead by now."
Zhou Qiao knew about this. Han Xu's family situation was complicated. They had previously encountered an assassination attempt, and Qin Feng was there at the time. It was Qin Feng who protected him.
Zhou Qiao stood there, stunned, unable to utter a single word.
What the teenagers said stirred up a storm in her heart, completely overturning her perception of Qin Feng.
She had previously believed that he was cold-blooded, ruthless, and a devil who would stop at nothing to achieve his goals.
But in the end, isn't this just a stubborn prejudice?
As the saying goes, seeing is believing.
During her time at the Shadow Gate, witnessing Qin Feng's actions, her deeply held beliefs began to waver.
But the words of these boys completely ripped away the curtain that was obscuring her view.
She saw the complete Qin Feng and came to know him in a new light.
Seeing Zhou Qiao's demeanor, the boys felt that there was a chance of persuading her to stay.
After beating around the bush for a while, Hou Kai finally got to the point: "Sister-in-law, the eldest brother is like an egg. His shell looks incredibly hard on the outside, but he's actually soft-hearted and loyal inside. Although his emotional intelligence might be a bit off sometimes, that's just because he lacks experience. You can train him slowly in the future. If you don't have a man you like yet, could you take a look at him and give him a chance?"
Zhou Qiao pursed her lips, then sniffed after a while and asked, "Where is Qin Feng?"
Hou Kai was waiting to hear those words!
Upon hearing her question, he immediately rubbed his hands together and said, "Well, didn't our boss fail to confess to you? He's currently drinking alone in the pavilion!"
"His confession failed?" Zhou Qiao was stunned. "Who did he confess to?"
Zhou Qiao's question left Hou Kai and the others completely bewildered.
"Of course it's you, sister-in-law! Everyone in this Shadow Gate, even the moths that catch their paws are male. Who else could our boss have confessed to but you?!" Hou Kai asked inexplicably, "Didn't he come looking for you last night?"
