Despite the smug look on Qin Feng's face, he was actually feeling very guilty and subconsciously protected his important parts. After all, when he first met Li Xiaolan in Beixi County, Li Xiaolan almost killed him. But this time, Qin Feng went even further. If he angered Li Xiaolan, he might become a useless person for the rest of his life.
Fortunately...
Qin Feng's worries were unnecessary. Although Li Xiaolan's eyes were very angry and he kept threatening Qin Feng with his eyes, Li Xiaolan did not make any actual resistance.
This undoubtedly fueled Qin Feng's arrogance and directly hugged Li Xiaolan tightly, expressing his "love" for his sister with the most practical actions.
Li Xiaolan's whole body felt hot, and her breathing became extremely rapid. She had never been so chaotic in her life, and she felt like the world was spinning in front of her eyes, but... she didn't know why, but she didn't hate this feeling.
Because of what she had experienced, Li Xiaolan had closed off her heart layer by layer, and few people could truly touch her heart. But at this time, facing Qin Feng's bold offensive, the impregnable defense line in her heart was crumbling layer by layer.
Even Li Xiaolan didn't realize that she actually started... to respond to Qin Feng.
This kind of response undoubtedly sounded the clarion call for attack for Qin Feng. With Qin Feng's current strength and status, he had no worries.
The lips separated, and just when Li Xiaolan could finally take a breath, she was surprised to find that one of Qin Feng's hands had reached to the crook of her leg. Before she could react, she was hugged by Qin Feng.
Li Xiaolan subconsciously hugged Qin Feng's neck. Her cheeks, as white as snow, were already flushed with nervousness. She looked at Qin Feng's resolute eyes and realized that Qin Feng was no longer the same person she remembered. He was no longer a bastard, but turned into a real man.
Looking at each other, feeling the blazing flames in Qin Feng's eyes, Li Xiaolan felt a strange feeling of "obedience" in her heart, as if...a wife subconsciously followed her husband when she faced her husband.
Li Xiaolan bit her thin lips lightly, her aloof and cold eyes that despised everything had become soft and blurry.
Being able to become the most important person in Qin Feng's heart made Li Xiaolan both gratified and happy. Only in front of Qin Feng in this world did Li Xiaolan feel that she had become a real woman.
Even though there is no engagement, even though Qin Feng has never promised anything, Li Xiaolan still has no regrets because she firmly believes that Qin Feng will be responsible for herself.
"Feng'er..."
"For the first twenty years, I have been living for myself. For the rest of my life, I am willing to live for you..."
These words directly penetrated Qin Feng's heart. With warmth, Qin Feng took a deep breath and secretly swore in his heart that he would never betray Li Xiaolan's trust and would not let her suffer any injustice for the rest of his life.
Qin Feng hugged Li Xiaolan and turned towards the bedroom...
Little did he know that in a room not far away, Shen Qingci and two girls were lying on the crack of the door, witnessing the entire incident.
Seeing Qin Feng hugging Li Xiaolan and leaving, Xiao Xiangxiang and Shufeng naturally understood what was going to happen next. Their faces turned red and they looked at each other without saying a word.
Shen Qingci was also happy for Lao San from the bottom of his heart. After all, people like Li Xiaolan longed for a solid support, but... Shen Qingci's eyes looked a little lonely.
envy? Tasty? disappointment? Maybe it's none, or maybe it's all of them. Even Shen Qingci can't tell clearly.
Recalling the laughter and laughter with Qin Feng in Qingyage Pavilion in Kyoto, and the memory of scolding him with disgust but secretly rejoicing in his heart, Shen Qingci's eyes became even more lonely.
Shen Qingci's arrogance is just for self-protection. To be honest, among the four sisters, Shen Qingci is the one with the lowest self-esteem.
If she is good at essays, Shen Qingci is indeed the most talented among the four sisters, but what use is her literary talent to Qin Feng?
Moreover, Qin Feng himself was extremely talented. His songs "Out of the Fortress" and "About to Enter the Wine" have already become popular all over the country and have become must-read classics for literati all over the world. On the other hand, Shen Qingci cannot be said to have made any achievements in literary talent. , that is, he just opened an innocuous Qingyage in the royal capital.
Shen Qingci's literary talent was of no use to Qin Feng.
In contrast, Liu Hongyan, the second eldest child, has already become the mainstay and indispensable to Qin Feng in terms of business acumen, finance and internal affairs.
The reason why Qin Feng was away from Kyoto for so long without worrying at all was because Liu Hongyan was in charge at the rear?
Now, Liu Hongyan and Xie Yun'er have already become Qin Feng's most reliable arms in Kyoto. As long as Qin Feng says a word, Kyoto can handle it flawlessly.
The third child, Li Xiaolan, holds an important position. She is not only the Princess of Mingyue of Daliang, the bridge between Qin Feng and Daliang, but also the chief of the Jin Yiwei. She controls the largest intelligence agency in Qin Feng's hands. Li Xiaolan is Qin Feng's eyes and ears.
As for the fourth Jing Qianying, she is the late princess of Beidi. Although she has been active in Sangzhou, she will return to the Beidi royal family sooner or later. By then, at least in Beidi, Jing Qianying will be more helpful to Qin Feng than anyone else. .
Looking back at herself, Shen Qingci couldn't help but sigh. Although she assisted Lin Quqi in Beixi County to deal with financial and taxation issues, and carried out "publicity work" externally, these two positions seemed to be basically useless with or without Shen Qingci. It doesn't matter, as long as you are talented and knowledgeable, you can easily do it.
Even if Shen Qingci doesn't want to admit it, it still can't change the fact that she seems to be of no use to Qin Feng.
Precisely because he was deeply aware of this, Shen Qingci's mood became heavier and heavier, and he couldn't help but sigh.
Seeing this, Xiao Xiangxiang and Shufeng on the side quickly comforted him softly.
"Miss, what's wrong with you? You were fine just now, but why did you become sulky in the blink of an eye? Could it be because of the matter between the young master and the third young lady?" Xiao Xiangxiang hurriedly sat next to Shen Qingci, expressing soft concern.
Shen Qingci's mouth showed a touch of bitterness: "Xiangxiang, do you think I am useless?"
Hearing this, Xiao Xiangxiang couldn't help being surprised: "Miss, why did you say this? You are both the young master's eldest sister and the eldest lady of the Qin family. In the young master's words, you are the Dinghai Shenzhen of Beixi County."
Dinghaishenzhen? Hearing this word, Shen Qingci laughed even more self-deprecatingly: "Mother, you are the Dinghai Shenzhen of Beixi County. When will it be my turn to take charge of the overall situation?"
Shufeng on the side quickly agreed: "This is indeed what the young master said. As long as the eldest lady is in Beixi County, there will be no chaos in Beixi County."
