Falling in Love Online with an Ancient General-Chapter 207: Dinner 02

Feng Qingyi smiled and said, "Ming Qi, eat slowly. If you can't finish, just take the plate with you!"

"Miss Feng, thank you so much! Goodbye!" Ming Qi carried the plate downstairs.

Xuanyuan Yan walked out of the teahouse and waited for a while before he saw Ming Qi coming out with the plate.

"...What's this?"

Ming Qi replied, "Miss Qingyi's pastries are really good. I brought out what you didn't finish earlier. Would you like to try some more?"

Xuanyuan Yan distanced himself from Ming Qi with some disdain, "Let's return to the palace."

The first day of business at Peng Lai Residence went better than expected, partly due to the free cookies.

Xu Linghe asked, "Qingyi, many customers wanted to buy these cookies today, but we didn't sell any. Now we're almost out. What should we do tomorrow?"

"I'll prepare more for tomorrow," Feng Qingyi said. "Later, I'll find time to teach the cooks how to make them. Then we won't have to worry about it anymore."

Xu Linghe looked at the sky outside, "It's getting late. I should head back now. See you tomorrow."

"Alright, see you tomorrow. I'm about to leave too."

After returning to the villa, Feng Qingyi checked the time. It was already 5:30 PM.

[Qingyi: Are you done with work?]

[Yuchuan: Almost.]

[Qingyi: Then hurry up, I'm waiting for you.]

[Yuchuan: Okay.]

Feng Qingyi changed her clothes and sat in the bedroom playing with her phone.

Qin Yuchuan arrived quickly. Feng Qingyi handed him the clothes she had chosen for him.

"Go take a shower and change into these. Don't wear your own clothes today."

Qin Yuchuan put down the large box he was carrying and took the clothes from Feng Qingyi.

Feng Qingyi looked at his box, "What's inside this?"

Qin Yuchuan replied, "Gifts for your parents."

"Gifts? Can I take a look?" Feng Qingyi asked.

"Of course." Qin Yuchuan said as he walked into the bathroom.

Feng Qingyi slowly opened the box and found a pair of jade bracelets and a tea set inside. It seemed he was taking this meeting very seriously.

Qin Yuchuan soon finished his shower and came out, "Qingqing, could you help me dry my hair?"

"Sure, give me a moment." Feng Qingyi found the hair dryer and had Qin Yuchuan sit on the dressing stool.

Qin Yuchuan looked at himself in the mirror, smiling at the corners of his eyes.

As she was drying his hair, Feng Qingyi said, "Your hair is so long. Have you thought about cutting it?"

"Maybe later," Qin Yuchuan said softly.

Feng Qingyi stroked his hair, "Actually, it's quite nice long. I really like it."

"Then, will Qingqing help me dry my hair in the future?" Qin Yuchuan asked.

Feng Qingyi smiled, "Of course!"

After drying his hair, Feng Qingyi took a comb to brush it, "I don't know how to tie up your hair."

Qin Yuchuan took the comb from Feng Qingyi's hand, "I'll do it myself. Thank you for your help earlier."

"Hurry up then. After you're done, put on your shoes and socks. We should leave soon. They're probably almost there," Feng Qingyi urged.

Qin Yuchuan quickly got ready, picked up the box, and followed Feng Qingyi.

In the taxi, Feng Qingyi noticed Qin Yuchuan sitting upright with a serious expression and asked, "Are you nervous?"

Qin Yuchuan shook his head, "Not at all."

Feng Qingyi: "Really? Why do I feel like you're not quite yourself today? And why are you sitting so far from me?"

Qin Yuchuan moved closer to Feng Qingyi, "Am I?"

"It's fine. You've met them before, no need to be nervous."

Remembering the not-so-friendly previous meeting, Qin Yuchuan still felt a bit worried. After all, they were her family.

Soon, Feng Qingyi and Qin Yuchuan arrived at the pre-arranged restaurant.

When they entered, Lou Xi and Feng Qingci were already there.

"Did Mom and Dad say when they'd arrive?" Feng Qingyi asked Feng Qingci.

Feng Qingci shook his head, "I don't know. They should be here soon, right? Mr. Qin, what's in that box you're carrying?"

Qin Yuchuan: "Just some gifts."

"May I take a look?" Feng Qingci showed interest in the box Qin Yuchuan was holding.

Feng Qingyi interjected, "It's not for you. Why do you want to see it?"

"Qingqing, don't be like that. There's something for Qingci too," Qin Yuchuan said.

Feng Qingyi: "I didn't see anything for him."

Qin Yuchuan opened the box, and Lou Xi and Feng Qingci looked over.

Qin Yuchuan took out an inconspicuous brush pen from the corner of the box and handed it to Feng Qingci, "A small token of appreciation."

Feng Qingci accepted the brush pen in confusion, "What do you mean by this?"

"What else could it mean? It means you should practice your calligraphy," Feng Qingyi said.

Just then, Nan Yin and Feng Zhixing walked in together.

Nan Yin: "What are you all discussing?"

Feng Zhixing noticed the brush pen in Feng Qingci's hand, "Where did this brush come from? It looks nice!"

"Mr. Qin gave it to me," Feng Qingci said through gritted teeth, suspecting he was being mocked.

Nan Yin: "Your messy handwriting indeed needs more practice. The gift suits you well. Since it's Yuchuan's thoughtful gesture, you should appreciate it."

Qin Yuchuan stood up, "Uncle, Aunt, good evening!"

Nan Yin smiled and said, "Yuchuan, Xi, don't be so formal. We're all family now. Everyone, please sit down."

Once everyone was seated, the waiter began serving food and wine.

Nan Yin poured red wine for everyone, "Don't be shy, everyone. Help yourselves to whatever you'd like. Make yourselves at home."

Feng Qingyi looked at the red wine in front of her, took a small sip, then poured all of her wine into Qin Yuchuan's glass.

"It doesn't taste good at all!"

Qin Yuchuan said indulgently, "If you don't like it, don't drink it in the future. Don't get drunk again."

"I'm just tasting it. I won't get drunk," she replied.

Sitting nearby, Nan Yin and Feng Zhixing were talking quietly.

Nan Yin looked at Feng Qingci across the table with some disapproval.

"Look at your son, eating like he hasn't had a meal in ages. Wolfing down his food with no regard for manners. Now look at Yuchuan."

Feng Zhixing said, "Without comparison, there's no harm. He's settled now, so let him be."

Nan Yin turned her gaze to Qin Yuchuan, "This Yuchuan is much more handsome than you were when you were young. He's a pleasure to look at. Qingyi certainly has good taste. Their future children will definitely have good genes."

Feng Zhixing was unhappy, "Stop going on about Yuchuan. I'm right here!"

Nan Yin chuckled, "Are you jealous?"

Sitting across from Nan Yin and Feng Zhixing, Feng Qingci kept serving food to Lou Xi.

Lou Xi looked at her bowl full of food with some distress, "Stop, I can serve myself."

"Xi, I'm worried you can't reach. I've picked all your favorites. Eat more. I've peeled this shrimp for you too. Try it, how is it?"

The dinner was extremely lavish. Although the atmosphere at the table wasn't particularly lively, it was harmonious.ƒrēenovelkiss.com
