The Road to Becoming a Son-in-Law

Chapter 283 It Won't Happen Next Time

As early as the first time He Fei was harassed by that playboy and the second time she saw him harassing others on the street, she could tell that he was no good person and that it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he had committed many evils.

However, she was overconfident in her own abilities. She believed that the playboy posed no threat to her and that even if he did bring people to beat her, she could handle it herself.

It was precisely because of this overconfidence that she never expected the playboy to drug her.

If Chen Feng hadn't arrived in time, and if Xu Xuan hadn't happened to have the antidote, she wouldn't be sitting here being lectured by Chen Qin right now.

"Sister Qin'er, I really know I was wrong." He Fei was sincere this time, and said, "I will never be so careless again next time."

"That's right." Seeing He Fei's pitiful appearance, Chen Qin couldn't bear to say anything more. She poked He Fei's forehead again and said, "Then you must remember this: no matter what you do next time, make sure you are safe first."

“Okay!” He Fei nodded earnestly to her colleague and said, “Thank you, Sister Qin’er.”

Chen Qin smiled and said, "If you ask me, you should thank Chen Feng, not me."

He Fei caught the teasing in Chen Qin's words, blushed, and said, "Sister Qin'er, you've become naughty too."

Chen Qin laughed and said, "Who flirted with me first?"

He Fei glanced around, coughed lightly, and said, "Oh dear, Sister Qin'er, I didn't tease you at all."

"Everything I said before was the truth. Although you're not my sister-in-law yet, you will be one sooner or later..."

Chen Qin's face grew increasingly red from He Fei's teasing. "Fei'er, if you keep doing this, I'll... I'll stop talking to you!"

Chen Qin's soft, weak voice had no intimidating power. Just then, He Yi arrived and asked, "What have you two been talking about for so long?"

For some reason, whenever He Yi thought of Chen Qin being here, he couldn't help but think of Chen Qin. So he pretended to come looking for He Fei, but actually wanted to come looking for Chen Qin.

Chen Qin couldn't tell, but He Fei and He Yi had been siblings for over ten years. They could tell what the other was thinking with just a glance. From the way He Yi would look at Chen Qin from time to time, He Fei knew who He Yi's real "purpose" was.

He Fei clicked her tongue inwardly, wondering when her sister-in-law would see through her brother's "wolf-like ambitions".

Moreover... He Fei saw the look in He Yi's eyes and wondered if her brother had realized his own feelings.

He Yi didn't know what He Fei was thinking. Seeing that He Fei didn't answer him, he asked again, "What were you and Chen Qin talking about just now?"

"We were just talking..."

"Fei'er!"

Before He Fei could finish speaking, Chen Qin quickly covered He Fei's mouth and said shyly, "You're not allowed to say it."

"Okay, okay." He Fei chuckled. She knew that telling Chen Qin would make her very shy. She was just teasing Chen Qin and hadn't planned to say anything. So she shrugged and said to He Yi, "Brother, you saw it too. Sister Qin'er told me not to say it."

"Besides, this is a private conversation between us little girls. You're a man, so you shouldn't know."

He Yi glared at He Fei resentfully, feeling that all the love she had given this younger sister for so long had been for nothing.

He Fei made a face at He Yi. Seeing that He Fei hadn't told He Yi, Chen Qin secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Although she and He Fei hadn't talked much just now, Chen Qin felt very embarrassed just thinking about telling He Yi about those teasing remarks. She made up her mind that she absolutely couldn't let He Yi know, otherwise she would be so ashamed that she would die.

After chatting for a while, He Yijian realized it was almost noon, so he asked Chen Qin, "Do you want to stay here for lunch or go home?"

To be honest, Chen Qin didn't really want to go home. Before Chen Qin could answer, He Fei interrupted, "Sister Qin'er, you've come all this way to see me, so don't go back so early."

"It seems that Sister Qin'er hasn't tried the food at Xinyuelou yet. If it's convenient for you, Sister Qin'er, how about we go to Xinyuelou for lunch together?"

He Fei had a good plan. He Yi wouldn't let her go out, but it would be different if she went to Xinyuelou for dinner with Chen Qin and him.

Knowing his own feelings for Chen Qin, He Yi was certain that once Chen Qin agreed, he wouldn't object. Sure enough, He Yi frowned and asked Chen Qin, "Do you want to go?"

Chen Qin and He Fei are both girls. Although He Fei's thoughts were not obvious, Chen Qin naturally guessed them. So she pretended to be curious and asked, "I'm curious, Fei'er, did you go to Xinyue Tower for a meal or... for someone?"

He Fei blushed and said seriously, "Of course it's for dinner."

"Really not for any one person?" Chen Qin's smile deepened.

He Yi also realized what was going on and said, "Oh, so it was for someone."

"No, it's not for him," He Fei retorted stubbornly. "It's for Sister Qin'er. The food at Xinyuelou is incredibly delicious, and Sister Qin'er has been staying at home all this time. Now that she's finally out, of course I have to take her to try the food at Xinyuelou."

To prevent the two from asking any more questions, He Fei said, "Alright, let's hurry up and go to Xinyuelou for dinner. If we wait any longer, Sister Qin'er will get hungry."

He Yi, however, calmly inquired about Chen Qin's opinion.

Chen Qin said, "Since Fei'er is so considerate of me, I certainly can't let her kindness go to waste, don't you think?"

He Yi chimed in, "You're right. Fei'er is being so kind all the time, so of course we should go."

He Fei also caught the two teasing each other: "Are you two ganging up on me?"

He Yi said innocently, "We didn't bully you at all. It was clearly you who wanted to take us to the Crescent Moon Restaurant for dinner..."

Before He Fei's face turned completely red, He Yi changed the subject, saying, "You were the one who wanted to take us to Xinyuelou for dinner, and now that we've agreed, how did it become your fault?"

He Fei: "..."

Knowing she couldn't win an argument with He Yi, He Fei glared at him and stopped talking.

"Alright, alright, stop teasing Fei'er. Let's go. If we delay any longer, Fei'er will get impatient."

He Fei: "...Sister Qin'er!"

"Alright, alright, let's go!"

After hearing the waiter's report that He Fei had arrived, Chen Feng immediately came out from behind and looked at He Fei: "Fei'er."

Upon seeing Chen Feng, He Fei remembered that he hadn't come to see her for the past few days. She snorted and said, "Have you forgotten something?"

"Is Fei'er referring to the fact that I didn't come to see you?"

“So you did know,” He Fei said. “I’ve been so bored at home these past few days, and I can’t go out, and you haven’t come to see me.”

"I was planning to cook some food for you today before visiting you, but I didn't have time to prepare before you came to see me."
