Chapter 177: Chapter 177: Senior Brother Didn’t Trick You on Purpose
The two people here are happily taking a bath together, while Zhou Junren is on the phone, driving to the villa to find Qin Xiao.
When he arrived at the villa, he found the whole place dark, uh... seems like they’re not at the villa.
Zhou Junren had no choice but to keep calling until his phone ran out of battery and shut down, then he helplessly went back home.
An hour later, Qin Xiao and Xiao Li finally came out of the bathroom. Qin Xiao blow-dried Xiao Li’s hair first, and when Xiao Li went next door to Aunt Wu’s to get the baby, Qin Xiao picked up his phone, intending to return Zhou Junren’s call.
But when he called, the other party’s phone was off.
Oh well, it wasn’t me trying to trick him on purpose!
Inside the small courtyard, Xiao Wenjing itched several times to turn on her phone, but was stopped by Feng Qing.
"Crazy woman, I’m not turning on my phone for Zhou Junren. I just want to play with it. Don’t you think it’s boring just sitting here?"
Feng Qing shook her head, "Not at all! I didn’t say you’re turning it on for Zhou Junren either!
You’re clearly admitting it yourself!
Wenjing, let’s just empty our minds for a bit, okay!
Is life unlivable without a phone?"
Xiao Wenjing laughed at this, "Crazy woman, that doesn’t quite sound like your style!"
Feng Qing spread her hands, "Style or no style, what’s important is you can’t turn on your phone!"
Xiao Wenjing asked suspiciously, "Why are you so insistent on me not turning on the phone?"
Feng Qing was at a loss for words, "Because... because...
Okay fine! I’ll be honest.
I’m afraid if you turn on yours, I won’t be able to resist turning on mine.
Wenjing, you know how hard it is for me to decide not to call Huo Zhi.
You have to help me, no dragging me down."
Xiao Wenjing nodded upon hearing this, "Alright!
For you, I won’t turn it on."
As the two were chatting, someone knocked on the door, and Feng Qing went to open it. A servant brought in a lot of snacks...
After placing the items on the table, the servant said, "Miss Feng, Miss Xiao, these snacks are made for you by the kitchen under the second Young Madam’s instructions, to help pass the time."
Feng Qing replied with a thank you. After the servant left, she immediately dragged Xiao Wenjing to the table, "Xiao Li is really thoughtful, at least she didn’t forget about us over her love life, knowing our long night is hard to get through, and sent us some treats..."
In the middle of the night, Xiao Li was sleeping soundly when the baby woke up hungry. Qin Xiao got up, took the baby from the crib, and placed him on the bed, just about to lift Xiao Li’s shirt for feeding.
Xiao Li had already been woken by the baby’s cries, groggily sat up, lifted her shirt, and cradled the baby to feed him...
After feeding the baby, Xiao Li was about to go back to sleep when Qin Xiao’s phone lit up. Qin Xiao looked at the caller ID, "It’s Zhou Junren."
Xiao Li mumbled, "Don’t answer, disturbing our sleep in the middle of the night."
Qin Xiao chuckled and agreed, turned off the phone, and went back to bed to cuddle Xiao Li and sleep.
The next day, after feeding the baby, having breakfast, Xiao Li went to the courtyard.
It turned out the two women in the courtyard only went to sleep close to dawn, and were now sleeping soundly.
Seeing them asleep, Xiao Li simply headed back.
Back at the old house, as soon as Qin Xiao turned on his phone, Zhou Junren’s call came in, "Senior brother, I finally got through to you.
Senior brother, do you know how many times I’ve called since yesterday?
Senior brother, is sister-in-law there? I need to ask her something."
Qin Xiao said calmly, "She’s not here. If she were, I probably wouldn’t be answering your call."
Just then, Xiao Li walked in, "Uncle, who are you talking to on the phone?"
On the other end, Zhou Junren quickly called out upon hearing Xiao Li’s voice, "Senior brother, let sister-in-law take the call, I need to ask a favor..."
But before he finished, Qin Xiao said, "It’s a call from Junren."
Then Zhou Junren heard Xiao Li’s voice, "Oh, it’s him! Hang up."
As Xiao Li’s words fell, the call was really hung up, and Zhou Junren stared at his phone’s busy tone for a while, then collapsed onto the bed, feeling desolate...
After closing the call, Xiao Li asked, "You didn’t say anything to him, did you?"
Qin Xiao laughed, "The idea to give him a hard time was mine, why would I ruin my own plan."
Xiao Li nodded, "True!"
Qin Xiao smiled, "Weren’t you at the courtyard? Why are you back so soon?"
Xiao Li laughed, "Those two must have stayed up late last night, they’re sleeping soundly now, so I didn’t wake them, just came back first."
Qin Xiao nodded, "In that case, let’s go to the martial arts field!"
Xiao Li, "Okay, let’s go!"
Xiao Wenjing and Feng Qing didn’t wake up until the sun was high in the sky. Upon waking, without opening their eyes, they habitually reached for their phones to check the time but couldn’t find them...
"Eh, where’s my phone?"
Xiao Wenjing groggily said, "Hmm... my phone is gone too."
They sat up in bed, slightly opening their tired eyes, searching around the bed for their phones.
After a while, they remembered purposely leaving their phones in their bags to resist turning them on last night...
Xiao Wenjing and Feng Qing exchanged glances, "Crazy woman, should we check our phones for the time?"
Feng Qing thought about it and finally decided, "No, we can tell by the bright sun outside it’s not early anymore.
Wenjing, don’t mention phones anymore, I’m afraid I won’t resist the urge to call.
Come on, let’s first wash up, then find Xiao Li."
Though Feng Qing sounded determined, inwardly she was shaking with frustration...
Sob sob... Huo Zhi darling, wait for me two days, I’m not really giving up, I’m doing this to help Wenjing!
That rotten Zhou Junren, you womanizer, making it impossible for me to call my sweetheart Huo Zhi, wait till you see how I’ll torture you when you come for Wenjing!
Hearing this, Xiao Wenjing thought about how difficult it was for Feng to decide to end her one-sided love, she couldn’t drag her down!
No matter how much she wanted to check the phone, to see if Zhou Junren called or texted her, she had to bite her tongue.
Xiao Wenjing took a deep breath, "Crazy woman, let’s brush our teeth."
After brushing their teeth and washing their faces, changing into new clothes, they went to find Xiao Li at the nearby manor.
Xiao Li had just finished practicing martial arts and showered, upon hearing Xiao Wenjing and Feng Qing’s arrival, she rushed to the guest hall.
This time, since Xiao Wenjing and Feng Qing were visiting, they couldn’t just wander around the manor like last time, they had to wait in the guest hall.
The last time, they were here for a wedding as bridesmaids, and that’s why they could enter the manor.
