Chapter 453: Chapter 483: Is It Done?
The two of them walked on, but after searching the entire bookstore, they still hadn’t seen any sign of Shen Feng or Lin Nian. Sun Lili was starting to feel deflated, her enthusiasm for shopping completely gone.
Even Qin Jiao was starting to think they would be going home empty-handed today.
But just as they left the bookstore, planning to make a trip to the restroom, they rounded a corner and saw two people hugging!
A slow smile spread across Qin Jiao’s lips.
’It worked.’
When Sun Lili saw a woman hugging her boyfriend, her eyes went wide, and she looked ready to charge forward.
Her gentle, virtuous demeanor was all an act she put on for Shen Feng.
Women can be amazing sometimes. In front of their children, they can become superwomen.
And in front of the person they love, a bold girl from the North can transform into a gentle, demure Southern belle.
And now, Sun Lili couldn’t take it anymore, but Qin Jiao managed to stop her just in time.
"Lili, don’t be rash. What if they’re relatives?" Qin Jiao pulled her back around the corner so the others couldn’t see them.
Sun Lili took a deep breath. She had a point. When she looked back, the two of them were no longer hugging.
She breathed another sigh of relief.
’I almost acted rashly.’
Just then, Lin Nian sniffled and said pitifully, "Ah Feng, you have no idea how much I’ve missed you. Every night when I close my eyes, all I can think about is you!"
Sun Lili was speechless. ’Is that really how relatives talk to each other?’
She turned to look at Qin Jiao, who looked completely unfazed.
Meanwhile, Shen Feng reached out and stroked Lin Nian’s hair. "I’m sorry, Xiao Nian," he said. "You know that once school started, I really couldn’t come see you."
"I know, I know. I don’t blame you. I... I just miss you."
Sun Lili was about to charge out again but was once more held back by Qin Jiao. She glared, and Qin Jiao whispered, "Do you really not know who that woman is?"
"You know?"
"Yeah. When they were hugging earlier, I couldn’t get a good look. But I can see her clearly now. That woman... she’s Shen Feng’s high school girlfriend."
Sun Lili was stunned speechless.
Just then, they heard Shen Feng comforting Lin Nian for a little longer. Lin Nian looked up and said earnestly, "Ah Feng, about the baby... I don’t blame you. It was my own body’s fault. I couldn’t keep our child. He just wasn’t fated to be ours. I was so worried it would affect your college entrance exams. I’m just glad it didn’t, or I would have regretted it for the rest of my life."
This was exactly what Shen Feng wanted to hear from Lin Nian.
After all, he shared so many wonderful memories with Lin Nian. Seeing that she wasn’t angry about the baby and was only thinking of him, Shen Feng’s gaze grew even more tender.
He said, "Okay, just focus on getting better and don’t overthink things. The bookstore clerk job should be fine for now. You can start there, and later I’ll help you find something better."
"Okay! Oh, Ah Feng, you’re the best!"
The two of them embraced again.
Sun Lili couldn’t hold back any longer. She broke free from Qin Jiao’s grip and charged forward.
This time, Qin Jiao didn’t try to stop her. Instead, she dusted off her hands, glanced at the chaotic scene the three of them were creating, and turned to leave.
Qin Jiao found Shen Yi at the KFC across from the bookstore. The guy had ordered a mountain of food but had barely touched it, looking completely out of it.
But the moment he saw Qin Jiao, his dark eyes instantly lit up.
"Jiao Jiao! Did it work?"
"Mhm." Qin Jiao walked over and sat down next to Shen Yi. "We got lucky," she said in a low voice. "We happened to catch Shen Feng arranging that bookstore job for Lin Nian. Sun Lili just charged in, so a fight is probably breaking out right now. Whatever happens, Lin Nian can forget about earning Li Xiaomei’s trust anytime soon."
After all, Li Xiaomei was very fond of Sun Lili as her future daughter-in-law.
