Chapter 1452

Chapter 591 - Flames

Ji Feng couldn't help but be curious. Qin Shujie was in trouble again?

Ji Feng was aware of Qin Shujie's love for Yao Yao. Now that she had left Yao Yao alone at home, why would she attend a banquet? If it wasn't for something especially important, Qin Shujie definitely wouldn't have done this.

Maybe there really was a problem.

But now, Ji Feng didn't want to ask any questions, especially when he saw Yao Yao's small, fan-like eyelashes slightly trembling. Ji Feng couldn't help but secretly laugh. This little girl hadn't fallen asleep yet, she was just pretending to be asleep.

It seemed that Yao Yao was secretly enjoying this rare time.

Ji Feng sighed in his heart. With his parents by his side, he could hear his mother humming to herself as she slept. For many children, this was an extremely common occurrence. But for some children, this was simply an impossible dream, and Yao Yao was one of it.

This poor little guy!

Hence, Ji Feng didn't want to break this rare feeling of warmth. Perhaps, to Yao Yao, this was a happiness that she had been dreaming about for a very long time.

Gradually, Ji Feng discovered that Yao Yao's breathing steadied. Not only that, her countenance also gradually calmed down. In this warm atmosphere, Yao Yao fell asleep.

Qin Shujie also saw it and could not help but smile. She then lightly kissed Yao Yao's forehead.

Ji Feng couldn't help but frown. Qin Shujie reeked of alcohol. It was impossible for her mouth to be devoid of wine. Fortunately, she didn't have Yao Yao's mouth. Otherwise, Yao Yao might have been forcefully intoxicated by her.

Qin Shujie carefully stood up from the bed. Perhaps it was because she had been sitting for too long, or perhaps it was because of the alcohol, but when she stood up, she suddenly felt her vision go black.

Ji Feng abruptly took a step forward and silently embraced her in his embrace, stopping her from falling down.

A delicate fragrance mixed with the smell of alcohol a.s.saulted his nose. That smell made Ji Feng's nose twitch subconsciously. However, he did not notice that Qin Shujie, who was in his embrace, had turned red instantly.

What was this perfume?

Ji Feng slightly froze as this thought flashed through his mind. He had come into contact with many women, whether they were close or not. Normally, when he attended banquets, he would pa.s.s by other women and come into contact with them in his daily life.

However, Ji Feng had never smelled such a fragrance before. It was very light, yet very sweet.

However, this thought only flashed through his mind for a moment. Right now, it was not suitable for studying perfume. Furthermore, from the moment Qin Shujie's body swayed until now, it was only a blink of an eye. Ji Feng raised his index finger and made a silencing gesture.

Qin Shujie immediately swallowed the words that were about to reach her mouth. However, her face became even redder, and her originally soft body also became stiff.

Ji Feng did not care about these things as he helped Qin Shujie quietly out of the bedroom.

Closing the door to Yao Yao's bedroom, Ji Feng helped Qin Shujie into the living room, letting her sit on the sofa.

"Are you okay?" Ji Feng asked in a low voice.

"No, nothing." Qin Shujie quickly shook her head and rubbed her temples. "Maybe it's because I'm too tired."

"So what if I'm drunk? What do you mean by 'I'm too tired' …" Ji Feng shook his head. He stood up and walked over, leaving Qin Shujie no chance to explain.

At this time, Ji Feng went to the bathroom and turned off the lights. There were also the lights in the dining room and the lights in the other bedrooms. Then, he went to the kitchen.

Previously, the little girl was scared while she was at home, so she turned on all the lights in the house. Ji Feng was only interested in playing with the little girl, so he turned them on.

Qin Shujie could not help but look at him a few more times, not really understanding what Ji Feng was trying to do.

After a while, Ji Feng brought two cups of water from the kitchen and placed it on the tea table in front of Qin Shujie. He said, "I don't know where you put the honey from your house. I only found a packet of sugar.

"Huh?"

Qin Shujie was slightly startled, her red lips slightly parted. She looked at Ji Feng in astonishment, unable to react for a moment.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Ji Feng snappily replied, "From the way you're drinking, aren't you afraid of getting drunk or something? Don't tell me that you're also worried that you're smoking Yao Yao?"

"Thank, thank you!" Qin Shujie reacted and quickly said.

Afterwards, she picked up the teacup, took a sip, and then quickly put it down.

"Didn't you notice how hot it was when you held the cup?" Ji Feng frowned as he looked at her, "I really don't know how you took care of Yao Yao like this. Fortunately, Yao Yao was able to grow so healthy, this is really a miracle!"

Ji Feng originally had some complaints about Qin Shujie leaving Yao Yao alone at home. Now that he saw her at a loss for words, he felt a bit angry. Her tone of voice was very bad, even to the point of being very aggressive.

Qin Shujie's face turned red at his words, and for a moment, she didn't know what to say.

Thinking about how she had left Yao Yao at home, if she wasn't really that scared, she probably wouldn't have called Ji Feng, because she had previously told Yao Yao that Ji Feng's job was very busy, moreover, he had to work during the day and rest at night, otherwise she would be scolded by her boss and told not to call Ji Feng casually.

Originally, Qin Shujie had said this to prevent Yao Yao from disturbing Ji Feng. Although Ji Feng had taken Yao Yao as his G.o.ddaughter, Ji Feng's ident.i.ty was still there, so he would not worry so much about Yao Yao being his daughter day and night. After all, Ji Feng had a girlfriend …

Unexpectedly, Yao Yao actually called Ji Feng.

Thus, it was very clear that Yao Yao was frightened to death tonight.

Thinking of this, Qin Shujie felt incomparably guilty. She felt her nose sour, as if something had blocked her chest, making her feel extremely uncomfortable.

Qin Shujie's eyes turned red. Her originally charming and charming eyes were now filled with sparkling and translucent things.

"Holy sh * t!"

Ji Feng could not help but pat his forehead. This woman, why did she start crying after just saying a few words?

"Alright then …" Ji Feng helplessly shook his head and sighed. He sat down next to Qin Shujie and said, "Don't cry anymore. What happened just now, my tone might not be too good. I was wrong. Don't take it to heart. Just pretend you didn't hear anything."

Qin Shujie did not say anything, but the tears in her eyes flowed down.

Ji Feng sighed and said, "I didn't say anything unpleasant, did I? Well, I was the one who said it so harshly. But you were the one who did the wrong thing. Think about it, Yao Yao is only four years old, right? Such a young child and being alone in the house at night, you actually went to drink, and yet you didn't even arrange for a nanny to take care of her at home. Do you know how she opened the door when I came here? "

Ji Feng pointed to the door, "Do you see that stool? She stepped on it to open the door, tell me... Sigh! "Forget it, it really isn't easy for you …"

"Wuuuu ~ ~"

Qin Shujie suddenly leaned into Ji Feng's arms, buried her head in his chest, and started crying in a low voice.

Although Qin Shujie was deliberately suppressing her voice because she was afraid of disturbing Yao Yao, her crying was still so desolate and sorrowful. It was as if the pain in her heart was about to burst out.

"Be quiet, do you want to disturb Yaoyao!?" Ji Feng was fl.u.s.tered by Qin Shujie's crying. He awkwardly raised his hand and his entire body froze. He couldn't place his hand anywhere. He felt too uncomfortable putting it on the sofa, but if it was on Qin Shujie's back …

Helpless, Ji Feng could only use Yao Yao as an example. He hoped that he could make Qin Shujie stop crying, but it was clear that his method had no effect.

"Sigh …"

Thinking about Qin Shujie's past, Ji Feng couldn't help but sigh. He placed his hand on her back and patted her lightly. Of course, he put it on the place where his evening gown covered.

"Don't cry anymore. I believe you didn't do it on purpose. I can see how much you love Yao Yao." Ji Feng sighed in his heart and started to explain to Qin Shujie.

"However, the next time you go out, remember to make arrangements for a nanny. If you don't come back, she definitely can't leave. Otherwise, a child is really dangerous at home, do you understand?" Ji Feng said.

"Ji Feng ~ ~ Wu ~ Ji Feng ~" Qin Shujie just laid in Ji Feng's arms and cried in a low voice.

Ji Feng could only shake his head and smile. Despite such a charming young woman lying in his embrace, especially Qin Shujie, who was only wearing her evening dress and seemed to be made of silk.

However, he did not have any romantic thoughts in his heart. However, he thought that Qin Shujie might have found a boyfriend, and in the future, she might even have a pair of arms to hug the delicate body in her arms …

Ji Feng felt uncomfortable in his heart.

This thought made Ji Feng feel helpless, but he had no choice but to admit that he was indeed thinking this way.

It was at this moment that he suddenly realized why he had been so angry earlier. It wasn't only because of Qin Shujie's negligence towards Yao Yao, it was also because … He guessed that it was because Qin Shujie had a boyfriend that she didn't really care about Yao Yao.

In the end, Yaoyao and Qin Shujie's search for a boyfriend played a heavy role in both of these factors.

Ji Feng's heart skipped a beat.

After a moment of silence, Ji Feng asked hesitantly, "Shujie, I, um, I have a question to ask you …"
