A while later, Shen Su said, "I don't find it interesting to hang out with Gu Song every day anymore. I'm actually quite envious of Xing Zheng and Yu Feng. Wife, kids, and a warm hearth every day, their lives are truly blissful."
Shen Su observed Feng Feng's expression, "Do you like children?"
Feng Feng didn't give Shen Su an answer. She changed her clothes and glanced at the time, "I'm hungry, let's go downstairs to eat."
With that, she turned and went to the restroom first. Shen Su didn't get an answer but wasn't angry. He smiled and went downstairs to prepare breakfast.
When Feng Feng came downstairs after washing up, Shen Su had already prepared breakfast for two. The croissants bought last night, paired with asparagus, sausage, and a fried egg, along with a latte, simple yet not lacking in refinement.
Feng Feng was accustomed to Shen Su cooking. She pulled out a chair and sat opposite Shen Su, picking up her coffee and taking a sip.
Shen Su asked her, "How does it taste? These are beans I bought in the Bay Area last time."
Feng Feng pursed her lips and tasted it. The beans had a rich cinnamon aroma, perfect for drinking in winter. Today, Shen Su made a hot latte, which brought out the fragrance to its fullest. She didn't hesitate to praise, "It's very good. It would sell for at least three digits outside."
Shen Su was very satisfied with this answer, a hint of pride in his smile. Feng Feng looked at him like this and secretly thought, "Immature."
They ate breakfast past eleven in the morning, so lunch could be skipped. With nothing much to do today, Shen Su took Feng Feng to the audio-visual room to watch a movie. Since Feng Feng didn't like plot-driven films, he chose a travel documentary, which Feng Feng watched engrossed.
However, less than half an hour into the movie, Feng Feng's phone rang. It was a video call from Zhou Xuan. Hearing the sound, Shen Su pressed the pause button, letting Feng Feng answer the video call, but Feng Feng hesitated.
Just as Shen Su was about to ask, Feng Feng had already gotten up and walked out. He was curious, "Whose video call?"
Feng Feng said, "It's my mom. I'll take it outside." As she said this, she had already hurried out of the audio-visual room.
Shen Su rested one arm on the back of the sofa, pondering Feng Feng's reaction. Did Feng Feng think he was someone not to be seen? The first thing that came to Shen Su's mind was the time she brought Li Yue to meet her parents. Even before they met, she had talked a lot about Li Yue with her parents, very generously.
Why was she so secretive about him? Although Shen Su kept telling himself not to mind too much, it was hard to maintain his composure when reality was right in front of him.
Feng Feng went to the sofa on the first floor to answer Zhou Xuan's video call. As soon as the call connected, Zhou Xuan noticed Feng Feng wasn't at the apartment, "You're not home?"
Feng Feng replied, "Mhm," "I'm at a friend's place. It'll be more convenient when I catch my flight tomorrow."
Zhou Xuan never pried too much into Feng Feng's affairs. After she said she was at a friend's, the topic ended there.
Zhou Xuan said, "Are you going to Spain or Italy first?"
Feng Feng said, "Milan first. Do you want me to bring anything back for you?" As soon as Zhou Xuan asked this, Feng Feng knew what she was thinking.
Zhou Xuan laughed heartily after hearing Feng Feng's words, "My daughter really understands me. I've been eyeing a particular bag recently, and it's hard to get domestically. See if you can find it when you get there. I'll send you the model and color code later."
Feng Feng: "Okay. What about my dad? I'll ask him what gift he wants, otherwise, he'll be jealous later."
As soon as Feng Feng finished speaking, Feng Zhang's voice came from off-screen, "I want a granddaughter! You give me one!"
Feng Feng: "..." When did these two learn this trick? They skipped the nagging about marriage and went straight to urging her to have children.
Feng Feng was sure that Zhou Xuan and Feng Zhang must have discussed it, "What's gotten into you? Why do you suddenly want a granddaughter?"
Zhou Xuan smiled and said, "We had dinner with your aunt's family yesterday. Your cousin brought her child along. Your dad held the little girl from someone else's family and wouldn't let go."
Feng Feng retorted, "Why don't you two adopt one from a welfare institute?"
Feng Zhang's voice sounded again, "Adoption is adoption, it doesn't stop you from having another one."
Zhou Xuan: "Your dad has gone crazy, ignore him. Oh, right, have you been dating anyone recently? Did you have dinner with Li Yue when you went on your business trip to New York last time?"
Zhou Xuan's main purpose wasn't to urge her to have children, but to inquire about Feng Feng's emotional status. She had always liked Li Yue and felt their breakup was a pity. If they could reconcile, Li Yue would be a good choice, but she also knew that with Feng Feng's personality, the possibility of getting back together was too low.
Feng Feng answered truthfully, "We had dinner together. He's doing quite well there now."
Zhou Xuan: "What about the previous question?"
Before Feng Feng could say anything, she heard footsteps. She subconsciously looked up. It was Shen Su coming out of the audio-visual room. Before Feng Feng could remind Shen Su to be quiet, she saw him smile and speak, "Are you hungry? Let's have sweet and sour pork for lunch. I'll make it."
Feng Feng: "..."
Shen Su didn't try to hide anything. Every word was spoken with conviction, reaching Zhou Xuan's ears without omission.
Zhou Xuan immediately asked, "Feng Feng, is that your friend?"
Feng Feng's expression turned a little unpleasant. Shen Su was clearly doing this on purpose, yet he was still pretending to be innocent, "Are you on video? Then I'll go make dinner first."
After "causing trouble" here, Shen Su turned and went to the kitchen. Because she was on a video call with Zhou Xuan, Feng Feng couldn't settle the score with Shen Su – at this moment, Zhou Xuan had the right to settle the score with her.
After more than ten seconds, Zhou Xuan began to ask, "Who was that just now? You're staying at a friend's place, is it a guy?"
Zhou Xuan had a keen sense of smell and a very accurate intuition, "Have you found a new boyfriend? How old is he? Is he from your company? Are you traveling with him this time?"
Feng Feng rubbed her temples. She hadn't intended to hide Shen Su's matters, but she felt that Zhou Xuan and Feng Zhang wouldn't appreciate someone with Shen Su's extensive relationship experience. Moreover, their relationship wasn't settled yet, so she hadn't explained.
Since Shen Su deliberately sought attention this time, she couldn't hide it anymore and confessed everything, "He's not my boyfriend yet, we're developing. He's good friends with Plum Husband and has known him for many years. He also has collaborations with our firm."
Hearing Feng Feng introduce him like this, Zhou Xuan found it quite reliable, "Is he pursuing you, or are you pursuing him?"
Feng Feng said, "I guess I'm pursuing him."
This answer piqued all of Zhou Xuan's curiosity, "Then he must be quite something. Do you have a photo? Send me one, I want to see who could make you actively pursue them."
Feng Feng: "..."
Later, the conversation revolved around Shen Su. By the time the video call ended, Feng Feng was already thirsty from talking.
She took her phone and went to the kitchen to get some water. Shen Su looked back at her while cooking and asked with a smile, "Finished the video call?"
Feng Feng opened a bottle of water and took a sip, looking at Shen Su, who seemed oblivious, "Were you doing that on purpose just now?"
Shen Su: "If I said no, would you believe me?"
