Chapter 1581: Chapter 1582: The Sound from the Kitchen
Feng Jinglei was also somewhat puzzled by the appearance of Qin Feimo.
"Hey, Jinglei, do you think... he might be out buying a gift?"
Hearing this, Feng Jinglei paused for a moment and turned to look at her friend, "Buying a gift?"
"Yeah, isn’t tomorrow Valentine’s Day?"
Feng Jinglei was confused. Who would Qin Feimo buy a gift for? It couldn’t possibly be for her.
But the place he appeared was indeed the women’s jewelry section. If he wasn’t there to buy something, he had no reason to be there.
"Hey, do you think he might be giving it to you?" Luo Xiaoqian smiled mysteriously, guessing that if Qin Feimo did buy a gift, it had to be for Feng Jinglei!
"You’re overthinking it." Feng Jinglei glanced at her and then turned her head to look out the car window.
"By the way, the scarf you’re wearing today is quite pretty, where did you buy it?"
After ending that topic, Luo Xiaoqian glanced at the silk scarf Feng Jinglei was wearing today, something she had been wanting to ask about but hadn’t until now.
When her friend asked, Feng Jinglei looked down and glanced at the scarf on her chest.
It was the one Qin Feimo gave her that time in the Western Suburbs.
"Bought it in the Western Suburbs." She casually replied.
At noon, the two casually found a restaurant to grab a bite to eat and then went to a few jewelry stores, but still couldn’t find the same black cord, so Feng Jinglei had to give up.
By the time they returned to the Commander Residence, it was already three-thirty in the afternoon.
As soon as she arrived, Qin Feimo returned right after her.
Just as she was about to go upstairs, she paused slightly at the sound of footsteps from the entrance, and soon saw Qin Feimo return.
Thinking about the ivory-shaped pendant still in her bag, her hand gripping the bag couldn’t help but tighten a little.
He probably didn’t see it, right?
Seeing her standing at the staircase, Qin Feimo’s gaze also paused for a moment.
After a few seconds of eye contact, Feng Jinglei didn’t say anything and turned around to head directly to the third floor.
...
This Valentine’s Day happened to fall on a Sunday, making many young couples excited, even Qin Guozhong and Zhuang Yanyan went to the park for a stroll.
With nothing to do, Feng Jinglei stayed in the room, reading some parenting books.
After reading all morning, she felt a bit thirsty and came downstairs planning to pour herself a glass of water.
On the second floor, Qin Feimo opened a black box with gold trims inside, revealing a pair of star-shaped earrings called "Starlight."
Fiddling with the exquisite box in his hand, he opened and closed it repeatedly several times before standing up and stuffing the box into the pocket of his suit pants before leaving the room.
Coming downstairs, the luxurious living room was empty, with only maids waiting dutifully at the side.
"Is everyone out?"
A deep, magnetic voice, like a celestial sound, echoed in the quiet living room.
The maid respectfully nodded, "The Commander and the old lady have gone out."
Qin Feimo knew that his grandparents went out, but the main reason for his question was to find out if Feng Jinglei had also left.
Just as he was thinking, a sudden ’thump’ came from the kitchen, prompting both the maid and Qin Feimo to look over.
At that hour, there should be no one in the kitchen. Hearing the noise, Qin Feimo couldn’t help but frown slightly.
The maid standing next to him was first stunned for a moment, then seemed to remember something, suddenly widened her eyes, and rushed to the kitchen.
"Miss Feng!"
Qin Feimo was still in place, unclear about what had happened, until the maid’s alarmed shout made his pupils contract as he followed to the kitchen.
