Chapter 572 Next Door
Qiao Xiyan blocked Song Fengwan against the wall…
She leaned back against the wall with her phone still in her hand. At this moment, her mind was in a daze. She really didn’t expect it to be so awkward to bump into people making out.
She looked up at her cousin opposite her. Her expression was:
Weak, pitiful, and helpless.
She wanted to bang her head against the wall in embarrassment.
“How long have you been watching?” Qiao Xiyan stared at her. “Probably… ” Song Fengwan bit her lip. “I saw most of it, like when you were acting like a hooligan.”
After all, he was her cousin, and they had a good relationship. Song Fengwan was also a little bolder and tried her best not to appear so timid.
“That’s pretty much seeing everything.” Qiao Xiyan raised his eyebrows.
“What? You want to silence me?” She clearly saw her cousin rubbing his fingers, which was a sign of his irritability and itchy hands.
“Wanwan, you’re my sister…”
“Cousin! I’m your cousin!” Song Fengwan had been a little dumbfounded when he grabbed her backpack and pulled it back. Now that she calmed down, what was she afraid of? He didn’t dare to hit her. Besides…
If these two don’t want the elders to know about it, they’ll have to beg me no matter what.
After thinking about it, she felt confident and spoke self-righteously.
Cousin? Tang Jingci lowered her head and let out a muffled laugh. They’re indeed siblings. She stabbed him with the same knife he stabbed her with.
Indeed, when you come out to mingle, you have to pay sooner or later.
“Song Fengwan?” Qiao Xiyan used to be a tyrant in Suzhou. But after he became an adult, he became mild-mannered and reserved. Even if he deliberately threatened her, it would only be a bluff.
“What?” Song Fengwan gripped her phone tightly. “You don’t want Uncle-Master and Uncle to know? At your age, you still want to have an underground relationship?”
Her relationship with Fu Chen was special. What were they afraid of? “Aren’t you being too nosy?” Qiao Xiyan raised his eyebrows.
“Cousin, are you afraid of being skinned alive by Uncle-Master?” Song Fengwan asked tentatively. After all, Tang Wangjin doted on his daughter a lot. It would definitely be difficult to accept that his daughter had been stolen from under his nose for no reason…
Moreover, this man…
He had even lost his daughter time and time again. But in the end, his daughter had actually been taken away by him. Anyone would find this difficult to accept.
“Song Fengwan, I’ve realized that you’re really brave…”
“Cousin, you’re asking me for a favor now. You have to correct your attitude. Don’t scare me like this. I’m timid. If you scare me too much, I might not be able to keep my mouth shut and might accidentally tell people some things…” Song Fengwan said casually with her head lowered while fiddling with her phone.
Qiao Xiyan originally wanted to scare this girl, but he didn’t expect her to turn the tables on him. She’s indeed grown up and learned bad things.
“Wanwan…” Tang Jingci said. “We’ve just established our relationship…”
“Just established your relationship?” Song Fengwan was speechless. “I don’t think the way you two kissed was just established.”
Sparks had been shooting everywhere!
No matter how straightforward and bold Tang Jingci was, she couldn’t help feeling embarrassed. Besides, they had just confessed their feelings to each other, so she was still a little shy.
She coughed twice. “Our relationship is still unstable…”
“Unstable?” Qiao Xiyan was unhappy when he heard this. “We’ve just established our relationship, but you’re thinking about breaking up?”
“That’s not what I meant!” Tang Jingci was shocked. What nonsense is he spouting?
Song Fengwan lowered her head and let out a muffled laugh. Tang Jingci might not know how possessive, paranoid, and stubborn her cousin was. If such a person really fell in love, she wouldn’t be able to run away for the rest of her life.
Break up?
What was that?! It didn’t exist at all.
“I don’t like hearing it,” Qiao Xiyan said bluntly.
Tang Jingci was speechless. “Wanwan, it’s mainly because we just started. We want to take our time to tell the elders, so we need your help. Can you hide it first?”.
“Of course!” Song Fengwan’s tough attitude was only toward certain people.
Qiao Xiyan frowned. This little girl’s face sure changes fast.
“Cousin, if you speak as gently as Cousin-in-Law and talk to me earnestly, I won’t reject you. You’re begging me, but you look like you want to kill someone. Who would be willing to agree?
“You have to learn more from Cousin-in-Law.”
Hearing her call her cousin-in-law, Tang Jingci instantly blushed, and her heart felt as though honey was covering it.
Qiao Xiyan frowned. This girl really knows how to cozy up to powerful people.
Song Fengwan wasn’t stupid. Qiao Xiyan was a stubborn old man with a terrible temper. If she needed anything in the future, she would look for Tang Jingci.
At this moment, Tang Jingci’s phone vibrated. It was Tang Wangjin calling. He must have been unable to find her.
“Let’s go.” Tang Jingci walked out.
“Wait!” Qiao Xiyan grabbed her wrist. Due to inertia, she fell into his arms, and her face was held…
The man’s rough fingers gently brushed past the corner of her mouth and wiped away the lipstick stains. His fingers were covered in thick calluses. When they brushed past the corner of her lips, there was a tingling numb feeling.
1 were
The two of them were very close to each other. Coupled with the fact that Song Fengwan was still at the side with her eyes open and looking at them unblinkingly, Tang Jingci felt a little embarrassed.
“Wiped clean?” Her voice was timid and soft, making Qiao Xiyan’s heart itch.
“Do my lips have anything?”
“What?!
Tang Jingci looked up and noticed that there were still some lipstick stains on the corner of his mouth. The lipstick was a long-lasting type. She raised her hand to wipe them a few times, but there were still marks…
“I don’t think I can wipe it off.”
“It’s fine.” Qiao Xiyan lowered his head and bit her lips.
Song Fengwan took a deep breath. My god, I can’t bear to watch anymore. I’m going crazy.
Song Fengwan was rarely fed dog food. To be honest…
It was hard to swallow!
***
When the three of them returned, Tang Wangjin was still puzzled. “Where did the three of you go?”
“I saw that you were busy and felt that the hospital smell wasn’t very comfortable, so I went to the window to take a breather.” Although Tang Jingci felt guilty, she still appeared calm and collected.
Tang Wangjin was a sharp-eyed person. His gaze swept across Qiao Xiyan’s mouth…
Why is a man’s mouth so red?
His lip color is so bright?
But he thought that nothing could happen since the three of them were together, so he naturally didn’t think much about it.
“Uncle-Master, what are you treating us to for lunch?” Song Fengwan asked, interrupting his train of thought.
“You can eat whatever you want. Linbai, you should join us too. You’ve been treating us recently, so let me be the host.”
Duan Linbai naturally agreed with a smile.
The people he hung out with were Fu Chen and Jing Hanchuan, and Duan Linbai’s sixth sense was stronger than most people’s. He could tell at a glance that there was something fishy between the two of them.
When they sat down to eat, Duan Linbai leaned against Song Fengwan and asked in a low voice, “Little Sister-in-Law, does your cousin have something going on with Miss Tang?”
“It’s not just one thing but several things!” Song Fengwan lowered her head and sent a message to Fu Chen, telling him that they were about to eat.
“F*ck, I knew it. My sixth sense is the most accurate!
“It makes sense now. When there was something wrong with her eyes, your cousin slapped me so hard that it seemed like he wanted to break my arm. He must have been jealous.
“Unexpectedly, Miss Tang actually likes a boring man like your cousin. Tsk… Her taste is terrible.”
Song Fengwan raised her eyebrows unhappily. “What’s wrong with my cousin? He’s mature and steady. He has a car, good looks, and a good figure. How is he bad?”
Duan Linbai smiled bitterly. Previously, you complained to me that your cousin has a bad temper. Now, you’re protecting him. Women are indeed fickle and troublesome creatures.
“But if you knew earlier, why didn’t you say so earlier? You just thought of it after the fact.” Song Fengwan washed the tableware with hot water.
“Mr. Tang doesn’t know, but I do. The thing on your cousin’s mouth is clearly lipstick, and it’s the same color number as Miss Tang’s.” Duan Linbai’s tone was smug.
“You even know about lipstick color numbers?” Song Fengwan was surprised.
“If you have a mother who loves lipstick like her life and often asks you to help her buy them overseas, you would know too.”
Duan Linbai’s tone was a little lifeless. Who knew that every time he went overseas, he would run to lipstick counters the most? His lips had even tried on lipsticks for his mother before. If he wasn’t her biological son, he would have cut ties with her long ago.
During the meal, Duan Linbai livened up the atmosphere, so it wasn’t boring at all.
***
Song Fengwan had class in the afternoon and left after eating at one. Meanwhile, Tang Wangjin clinked glasses with Duan Linbai and drank a lot.
Duan Linbai was also someone who liked to drink. Tang Wangjin was usually at home, and his wife refused to give him any alcohol. After going out, he became more unrestrained. The meal only ended at almost three o’clock. Tang Wangjin was already drunk…
Qiao Xiyan didn’t drink any alcohol, so he drove the Tang father and daughter back to the hotel and helped Tang Wangjin back to his room. He was drunk, but he wasn’t so drunk that he lost consciousness. He even dragged Qiao Xiyan to recount his bumpy experience overseas back then.
While speaking, he even looked like he was crying.
When he finally fell asleep on the bed, it was already dark.
Tang Jingci had taken an afternoon nap. Because she was going home tomorrow, she had to pack her luggage for most of the day. After dark, she heard a knock on the door.
She opened the door. Qiao Xiyan was standing at the door.
“Is my dad asleep?”
“Yes.”
“It’s been hard on you to take care of him for so long.” Tang Wangjin had gotten some alcohol on his clothes. Although they were father and daughter, there were differences between men and women after all. It was Qiao Xiyan who had helped him change his clothes.
“Do you want to have dinner?”
“I’m not hungry yet.”
“Me neither…” Qiao Xiyan rubbed his fingers. “Your dad has completely occupied my bed. I have nowhere to sleep tonight.”
Tang Jingci was dumbfounded. You don’t have anywhere to sleep. Why are you looking for me? Could it be…
Her face instantly flushed red.
This development is too fast! Moreover…
My dad is still next door!
