Feng Jiuxiao flipped the page, but he still didn’t raise his head. “What’s the matter?”
Jin Cheng saw that Feng Jiuxiao’s attention was on the draft in his hand, and he didn’t want to listen to him carefully at all.
He thought about it and felt that it might not be the appropriate time to talk about this matter.
He simply brought up another matter. “Brother Jiu, haven’t you been in the country all these years? Why did you go to Nan Yue’s Qi Mountain?”
Feng Jiuxiao looked up at Jin Cheng. “Why are you asking this?”
Jin Cheng laughed. “I’m just curious. The distance between the two countries is so far, and it takes more than a day to travel by plane. How did you manage to accompany Sister-in-law and handle official business?”
Feng Jiuxiao replied, “I have my ways.”
In the past few years of accompanying Ling’er at the Qi Mountain, he had indeed traveled both ways. Even if there was a shortcut, it would still take more than half a day.
In order to save time, he had asked his trusted aides to disguise themselves as him and remain in the country of Feng Yi.
He would be the one to handle all the matters, and he would have to return to the country to handle the major matters personally.
…
Jin Cheng was originally curious, but hearing Feng Jiuxiao say this, he became even more curious. “What method?”
Feng Jiuxiao put down the draft in his hand, picked up the cup on his right hand and brought it to his mouth to take a sip. “Can’t you tell that there’s something wrong with me in the past few days?”
Jin Cheng thought about it carefully, and after a long while, he finally said, “You did seem a little strange. You often stay alone in the study to draw, so no one dare to disturb you.”
Feng Jiuxiao said, “That’s not me.”
“Oh.” Jin Cheng answered subconsciously, and then he came back to his senses, looking at Feng Jiuxiao in disbelief. “You said that the person who often stays alone in the study to draw is not you?”
Feng Jiuxiao nodded.
Deputy Jin really had to admire Feng Jiuxiao. For the sake of a beauty, he didn’t even care about the country?
“You even fooled me. If you didn’t tell me, I wouldn’t even know. The one I saw is actually fake?”
Feng Jiuxiao asked back, “If you can see through it, then my plan would be long exposed”
Jin Cheng nodded subconsciously, and then he realized that he seemed to have been tricked. He said unhappily, “Brother Jiu, what do you mean by that? Aren’t you slandering my intelligence?”
Feng Jiuxiao replied indifferently, “If you want to think that way, I can’t help you.”
If it was anyone else who heard Feng Jiuxiao’s words and his tone, it would be hard to realize that he was just being perfunctory.
But Jin Cheng felt that Feng Jiuxiao was just being perfunctory.
He looked at Feng Jiuxiao gloomily and felt that he did not treat himself as a brother. He did not even tell him that he had asked someone to replace him.
Feng Jiuxiao ignored the depressed Jin Cheng who was sitting across from him. He picked up the draft and continued to read it. In the end, he said, “The remaining two vacant positions will be decided by election.”
Jin Cheng nodded in agreement. “It is best to decide by election. Otherwise, there will definitely be criticism.”
“Then I will leave this matter to you.” Feng Jiuxiao pulled open the drawer and took out the seal from inside. Once the seal was stamped, it would be effective.
Jin Cheng had almost been led astray by Feng Jiuxiao. He had come here today to talk about something important, not to look for something to do.
He quickly opened his mouth to say, “Wait a moment, Brother Jiu. I did not come here for this matter.”
Feng Jiuxiao thought that he had already finished talking about his matter and he asked unhurriedly, “What other matters do you have?”
Jin Cheng was stared at by Feng Jiuxiao’s pair of clear and cold eyes and he could not help but hesitate a little, “Brother Jiu, let me ask you something.”
Feng Jiuxiao replied, “Go ahead.”
Jin Cheng felt that he had to tell Brother Jiu sooner or later. It might be able to make Brother Jiu let go of his doubts.
He said, “Brother Jiu, have you ever suspected that Qin Shu is actually your daughter?”
Feng Jiuxiao’s hand movements paused, and he was obviously stunned for a moment. Thinking back to the time when he found Ling’er, she had an adorable daughter by her side, and he subconsciously thought that she was secretly born by Ling’er.
After all, before Ling’er left him, they had been together several times and the chances of them getting pregnant were still very high.
But when he saw the man beside her, he realized that after she left, she had married someone else. So, he thought that man was the father of that child.
If he had not seen it with his own eyes, he would not have believed that the girl who stood at the bow of the ship and confessed to him that rainy night, crying and saying that she wanted him to take her away, would marry someone else.
Very soon, she had a daughter.
Jin Cheng noticed that something was not right with Feng Jiuxiao. The fingers of Feng Jiuxiao that was holding the seal were a little pale. A trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, and he asked worriedly, “Brother Jiu, what happened to you?”
“If she was my daughter, Ling’er would not have married anyone else.” Feng Jiuxiao put away the seal, closed the drawer, stood up and prepared to leave.
Jin Cheng had not finished his sentence when he saw Feng Jiuxiao stand up and leave. He hurriedly stood up and chased after him. As he walked, he shouted, “Brother Jiu, where are you going?”
“To see Ling’er.” Feng Jiuxiao did not turn his head and answered. He did not want to continue this topic.
He had been busy dealing with business all morning. He did not even have breakfast with Ling’er. It was almost time for lunch.
Jin Cheng caught up to him and asked, “Brother Jiu, have you really never thought about it?”
“Why do you have to dwell on this problem?” Feng Jiuxiao’s voice was clear and cold.
Jin Cheng was really a little angry. No one would be willing to bring it up, but he had to say it.
“What do you mean by me dwelling on this problem? I just want to say that Qin Shu might be your daughter.”
Feng Jiuxiao stopped in his tracks when he heard that. He turned back to look at Jin Cheng and replied very calmly, “Ling’er said that she’s not my daughter.”
After saying that, he retracted his gaze and walked away.
Jin Cheng was stunned, and his footsteps also stopped. Ling’er had said that to Brother Jiu?
Qin Shu was not Brother Jiu’s daughter?
She was also not Qin Hai’s daughter.
Then who could Qin Shu’s biological father be?
When Jin Cheng raised his head again, he found that Feng Jiuxiao had disappeared, and he hurriedly chased after him.
The study room where he was handling official business was still quite a distance away from the courtyard where Ling’er lived.
Feng Jiuxiao walked with even steps. Perhaps he was affected by his emotions just now and it reminded him of something.
What made his heart ache the most was what Ling’er said.
“I do not regret the decision I made when I was young and ignorant because everyone has to pay for their own mistakes. But I still hate you, hate you for lying to me, hate you for everything that you have made me suffer. The person I do not want to see the most in my life is you, Feng Jiuxiao!”
Up until now, the way Ling’er had shouted those words was still deep in his memory and he did not want to touch it.
Now that he suddenly remembered it, it made his heart hurt so much that he could not breathe. His originally fair face was now frighteningly pale.
He covered his heart with one hand and held onto the tree beside him with the other hand. He panted rapidly and wanted to relieve the pain in his heart. However, he realized that the more he suppressed the pain, the more severe it became.
That kind of piercing pain was like the pain in his internal organs all the way to his heart. It was more like there was a sharp blade cutting through his heart one after another.
