Chapter 31

Feng Chengze saw that it was still early, so he stayed home and had breakfast with Ji Qingyu. The two housekeepers were carefully selected by Zheng Mingyue and Wang Yuelian. At that time, Wang Yuelian even called her sister-in-law to help. The three women, with their sharp eyes and years of experience as mothers, were very accurate in judging people. Sister Sun and Sister Liu did not disappoint; they worked well together and were very capable. Ji Qingyu even secretly thought that this household could still function normally without Feng Chengze, but without Sister Sun and Sister Liu, she wouldn’t be able to survive. Half a day would be a huge ordeal—of course, she couldn’t say this to him.

A few days ago, Sister Sun might have noticed that she didn’t drink the coffee, so today, besides a glass of fresh milk, there was also orange juice on the table. However, Ji Qingyu was still very tired. She looked up at Feng Chengze, who was sitting opposite her, calmly drinking coffee. She was baffled and jealous. Could there really be such a big difference between people? He had gotten up early for work yesterday, met with friends after work, and then they did the same things. Even in bed, he exerted much more physical effort than she did. So, how could he be so energetic after only about five hours of sleep? It was simply unscientific!
However, on second thought, successful people always seemed to have extraordinary energy.

She was an ordinary person; he was not.
That made sense and was normal.

“Is something wrong?” he asked, looking up at her. He put down his cup, which made a sound as it touched the saucer. He picked up a wet wipe from the side, wiped his hands, peeled an egg, and handed it to her.

Ji Qingyu didn’t like plain boiled eggs. She didn’t take it and shook her head. “I don’t like this. I like fried eggs.”

“…Hmm.”

“So, are you going out today?” Feng Chengze asked casually, seeing her sunglasses placed aside.

“Chu Ning…” She paused and lowered her voice to explain, “The one with curly hair in a red dress at the bar yesterday, she’s my senior from university. I’m going to partner with her to create a mother-and-baby brand. She’ll pick me up later, and we’ll look at office buildings.”

“Can you handle it?” Feng Chengze’s question had no hint of disdain. It was just that the soul in this body was only in her early twenties, a recent graduate. She didn’t understand many things about business.

Ji Qingyu wasn’t annoyed. She looked at him with a smile. “If I can’t handle it, isn’t there still Mr. Feng?”

She wasn’t being irrational. Why not use the existing network of contacts? Besides, they were now legally married. As a husband, could he just watch his wife fall into trouble? Would such a man still be called a man? Would he still be human?

So, even if she had no experience, she dared to push forward with all her might because she had a solid backing.

“…” Feng Chengze almost choked on his egg. He raised his hand, forming a loose fist against his lips, and coughed lightly a few times. “Alright, keep an eye out. If you’re unsure, you can ask me.”

“So tired.” Ji Qingyu stared at the coffee cup in his hand. To be honest, drinking a few more sips of this bitter stuff could send someone away, but it was indeed quite refreshing.

Heaven knew how hard she endured. Sister Sun’s homemade fresh meat and bamboo shoot shumai were very tempting, but she didn’t dare to eat high-carb foods at this moment, fearing a carb crash and a foggy mind when handling important matters.

“Want some?” As he asked, he reached out and pushed the cup towards her.

The phrase “indirect kiss” usually only appeared in the youthful student days. Ji Qingyu didn’t hesitate or feel shy. She picked up his cup, not caring which side he had just drunk from and took a light sip. It was a shock and a harm to her taste buds, but she didn’t frown this time.

After swallowing, she took a few more gulps. She looked as if she was drinking bitter medicine.

Feng Chengze chuckled and used a fork to poke a piece of melon, then extended his hand to offer it to her. She glanced at him and still took a bite.

Sister Sun came out to clean up the kitchen’s leftover trash and wasn’t surprised by this at all. She and her good partner often marveled in private that even though the child was already in kindergarten, the couple was still so sweet, like newlyweds.

After a simple breakfast, Feng Chengze left.

Meijing Tiancheng is not far from the Yisheng Group. Without traffic, it takes only about ten minutes to drive there. Ji Qingyu returned to the master bedroom and sat at the dressing table to put on makeup. By the time she finished, Chu Ning’s call came in; she was waiting in the basement.

Their relationship seems quite good; otherwise, she wouldn’t have specifically notified the property management to register Chu Ning’s license plate.

Ji Qingyu went downstairs with her bag, occasionally glancing at the ring on her ring finger. She wasn’t used to it. Wearing jewelry is like this; it takes some time to get used to its presence. When she came out of the elevator, she looked around, and Chu Ning had already seen her and honked the horn. It was a white Mercedes.

She walked quickly over, opened the car door, and sat in the passenger seat.

Chu Ning pouted, “Under the seat, I bought you a cup of coffee.”

It turns out that dark circles and radiance can coexist.

She reminded, “President Ji, take it easy. Men can be misleading.”

Ji Qingyu lowered her head and picked up the takeaway bag. Sure enough, there was a cup of iced coffee inside. “…”

Alright, since she loves it now, she might as well get used to it.

“Shall we go to Tianchong District first?”

“Anything is fine.”

Chu Ning navigated, “Let me tell you first, didn’t I mention it before? That brand PR seems to want to change jobs. I want to poach her. Originally, I had an appointment with her for tomorrow, but she’s been swamped lately and can only spare two hours in the afternoon to talk to me, so I can only look at a few buildings with you and then leave.”

Ji Qingyu had looked up Chu Ning online. She had an excellent reputation, especially in the self-media, particularly in the mother and baby sector. The reason she wanted to create her own brand with her was purely because of her strong career ambition. Chu Ning had made as much money as a celebrity in recent years and could have easily retired, but now she seemed to be doing the same thing. However, switching tracks and starting over when she was already successful showed her determination.

“Alright, business is important.” Ji Qingyu knew how busy she was.

Yesterday, she spent more than two hours in the bar, and Chu Ning was handling business for two of those hours.

They didn’t waste a single moment. Chu Ning was reliable and serious in her work, and Ji Qingyu wasn’t as lazy as she made herself out to be. They looked at two buildings in a row but weren’t very satisfied. However, this wasn’t something that could be decided in a short time. Maybe it was because of Feng Chengze’s coffee, but Ji Qingyu felt energized, not tired or sleepy at all.

She didn’t stay idle either. She seriously used her phone to shoot videos, clearly introducing the reception, office, meeting room, and pantry. Anyone who didn’t know would think she was a professional agent.

Chu Ning gently nudged her with her elbow and joked, “What? Going back to let your husband help you check?”

For Ji Qingyu, looking at office buildings was similar to buying a house. Unfortunately, although she woke up as a rich woman, she didn’t have the experience of spending a fortune on buying a house. She was very interested in everything she hadn’t experienced.

Chu Ning might not understand her current self very well. She didn’t just want to show the video to Feng Chengze; she also wanted to send it to the family group for her parents, uncles, and aunts to see. When her business cards were printed, even the dogs in her community would get one.

After a busy morning, she and Chu Ning had a casual lunch at a nearby mall and then said goodbye. When they left the restaurant, it was not even two o’clock. It didn’t seem appropriate to go anywhere now. It was too early to go home, and it wasn’t time to pick up the kids from kindergarten. Yundan Shuiqing was not close…

After thinking it over, she took the escalator to the eighth floor of the mall. Besides the indoor ski resort, there was also a cinema on this floor. On weekdays, there are hardly any people in the cinema. She bought a ticket online, chose her seat, and excitedly bought cola and popcorn. This is the ritual of watching a movie.

While waiting in the lounge, she received a message from Feng Chengze: “How’s it going?”

She replied: “I looked at two buildings. One has a high floor, but Chu Ning said it’s not good. You can vaguely see Fujiang Mountain. The other has a low floor, and the lighting is a bit dim.”

People in Jing City all know Fujiang Mountain. If a building is built nearby, no matter which real estate group comes, the house prices won’t increase.

Feng Chengze: “Are you going to look at more?”

Ji Qingyu had a sudden idea. She found a well-lit place, took a photo of the movie ticket stub, and sent it to him: “Watching a movie.”

Feng Chengze: “Alone?”

Ji Qingyu: “Yes.”

After chatting casually for a few more sentences, the broadcast announced that her movie session was ready for ticket inspection. She carried her large bucket of popcorn into the screening room. It was almost like having a private screening. When she bought the ticket, she glanced around. If she wasn’t mistaken, there were only three or four people in total, including herself.

Ten minutes later, the lights in the screening room went out, and only the giant screen was illuminated.

Ji Qingyu wanted to complain. She didn’t understand why movies nowadays insist on being in 3D when it’s unnecessary. Before the movie started, she slowly scanned the entire room again. Besides her, there were two other people. They were at a distance, and she was wearing glasses, so she couldn’t see clearly. One was sitting in the last row, and from the silhouette, it seemed to be a man adjusting his seat. Another was sitting in the middle of the third row, a woman with a bun.

She withdrew her gaze, took a sip of cola, and focused on the big screen. The movie had good reviews online; otherwise, she wouldn’t have bought a ticket. However, she underestimated her patience. Watching such an art film requires endurance because, unlike commercial films, it doesn’t quickly throw out hooks or jokes in the first ten minutes.

If it were any other day, she could have kept up with the director’s pace.
But today, she couldn’t hold on. She felt all her energy was spent in the morning, and the coffee had worn off. Not to mention, the seats were spacious and comfortable, neither too cold nor too hot. The narration and dialogue in the movie were very gentle, with occasional atmospheric music. Gradually, her expression became dazed, her eyelids grew heavier, and she leaned back and fell asleep.

The hall was carpeted thickly, so there was no sound when stepping on it. The woman in the third row also found the movie boring. She took out her phone to reply to a message but worried that this action might annoy others. She looked around and saw two people sitting in the fifth row- A man and a woman. The woman seemed asleep, her head tilted, leaning against the seatback. The man next to her wasn’t focused on the movie either. He occasionally glanced at her, wanting to reach out and let her rest comfortably on his shoulder, but hesitated and pulled back several times. He wanted to touch but didn’t dare. Cherishing yet fearful.

‘He must be pursuing her,’ the woman with the bun thought. Out of curiosity, she couldn’t help but look a few more times. In the dim light, she unexpectedly made eye contact with the man. Under the screen’s glow, she saw him smile, seemingly unbothered and good-natured.

Ji Qingyu slept well. When she woke up groggily, the movie was nearing its end. Embarrassingly, she was the only one left in the theater. She tidied her messy hair, grabbed her bag, and left the theater, feeling refreshed. She didn’t feel it was a loss; although she didn’t watch much of the movie, she had a good nap.

At 4:20 PM, outside the kindergarten, there were many people and cars, accompanied by the chattering voices of children, making it very lively.

After picking up Feng Jiayuan, Sister Liu held his hand and walked towards the parking lot, only to see the driver not in the car but standing beside it, talking to someone. As she got closer, she saw it was a slender and handsome man. Wondering who he was, the man bypassed the driver and walked towards them, stopping in front of Feng Jiayuan. He bent down, hands on his knees, and smiled, “You must be Jiayuan? You were still in your mom’s belly the last time I saw you.”

Sister Liu, holding Feng Jiayuan’s hand protectively, looked at the driver with confusion in her eyes.

The Feng family was very protective of Yuan Bao. The driver was also a bodyguard, and it was generally impossible for strangers, especially strange men, to approach Yuan Bao. What was going on now?

The driver silently shook his head at Sister Liu and mouthed, “Second Young Master.”

He was a biological uncle.

Sister Liu was stunned. She had started working when Yuan Bao was a month old and had heard that the family had a younger brother who worked abroad and hadn’t returned for several years. She had never met him.

Feng Jiayuan tilted her head curiously and asked, “Uncle, who are you? Do you know my mom?”

She also found him somewhat familiar but couldn’t remember where she had seen him.

“My name is Feng Yu.”

Feng Yu said in a clear and gentle tone, “Isn’t it interesting? My surname is Feng, and so is yours.”
