Startled by her cry, Ru Feng jumped up from the bed and ran out barefoot. “What happened? What’s wrong?”
Then seeing the person standing at the door, her eyes widened. “Second Brother?”
Si Tu Qi Feng smiled widely, “Wind!” His gaze dropped to her bare feet, and he squeezed past Qiu’s mother, picking her up. “Cold.”
Ru Feng realized she wasn’t dreaming, looking outside in surprise. “Second Brother, you’re here so early?”
“Mm, you said we’d meet today, and now it is today,” Si Tu Qi Feng carried her to the bed.
“Xiao Feng, who is this?” Qiu’s mother followed nervously.
Ru Feng opened her mouth, unsure how to explain, and looked at Si Tu Qi Feng. “You explain.”
“I’m her fiancé!” Qi Feng said.
Her face was filled with sorrow. “Mom is the best example. When she was young, she chased enjoyment and wealth and made mistakes. Now, it’s too late to regret. Xiaofeng, promise me you will never choose the wrong person because of money.”
Ru Feng nodded solemnly. “I promise you.”
“It’s okay if we live in such a house and live such a life,” Qiu’s mother said, tears glistening in her eyes.
“Okay, Mom, I promise to work hard for a good life.”
With Ru Feng’s promise, Qiu’s mother visibly relaxed, and when she came out again, her attitude toward Si Tu Qi Feng had clearly improved.
After all, Situ Qifeng was handsome and could withstand scrutiny.
“Sir, may I ask your name, where you live, and who else is in your family?” She poured a cup of tea.
Qifeng took the water, uncomfortable with the conversation. Thinking about Ru Feng’s attitude towards this woman, he reluctantly replied, “I’m Situ Qifeng, from Z City. My family includes my father and an older brother.”
“What do you do for work?”
Qifeng was stunned. He typically worked behind the scenes and didn’t like jobs involving much interaction, so he hesitated.
Qiu’s mother’s expression turned cold, “No matter how good-looking a man is, it’s useless if he doesn’t work. How will you support a family?”
Qifeng stiffened, “I can support Ru Feng.”
Qiu’s mother moved further away, “Is your family wealthy?”
Qifeng nodded, “Yes!”
