Chapter 264 - Coming Up With A Plan To Return To The Household (1/2)

“Don’t say anymore!” Su Qing’er gently covered his mouth. Her eyes blinked slightly, and her voice was as gentle as a feather when she spoke, “You will always stand by me, right?”

“I will,” Shi Fengming held her hand and kissed it. He looked at the woman in front of him as if she was the most precious treasure in the world. “But I’m afraid that I won’t be able to protect you and instead cause you to suffer…”

Su Qing’er knitted her brows slightly and chuckled. “No parent would hurt their child. If you force them by threatening them with your death, they will definitely accept me for the sake of our love! If… If they look down on my family background, wouldn’t it be fine if they simply changed my identity. As long as they can accept me, anything is fine!”

“This…” Shi Fengming froze slightly.

Shi Fengju could not help but tighten his fists. That woman was shallow indeed! She even thought to instigate that fool to challenge his parents by threatening them with his own death? How could she say that!

“Second Young Master!” Upon seeing him hesitate, Su Qing’er started to act coquettishly and shook him constantly. “In the end, you don’t love me anymore! You think that I’m not worthy to be married into the Shi household! You said that you would love and care only for me in your lifetime! I bet all those are just lies! When you grow tired of me, you’ll secretly pack up and run away! Even if I go blind from crying at that time, there’s nothing I can do but to accept it!”

The more Su Qing’er thought about it, the more aggrieved she became, and she couldn’t help but start to weep.

As soon as she started weeping, Shi Fengming felt sorry for her and coaxed her incessantly, but Su Qing’er refused to listen and was unwilling to forgive him.

Shi Fengju was on his last straw, so he walked loudly to the door and knocked on it hard.

The sound of weeping and persuasion in the house ended right away.

“Who’s that?” Shi Fengming was startled.

Since Shi Fengming had eloped with Su Qing’er, he naturally wouldn’t visit his relatives or friends. The two of them had been staying in the small courtyard for more than ten days, and nobody had visited them before. Moreover, it was already night and the knock on the door was impolite.

Shi Fengming subconsciously felt that it was anything but reassuring. He stopped Xiao Lian and instead opened the door himself. When he saw Shi Fengju standing at the door, he was dumbfounded.

Shi Fengju smiled slightly. “Why? You aren’t going to invite me in?”

“Big… Big Brother!” Shi Fengming’s heart was a mess. He smiled stiffly and stepped aside.

Shi Fengju looked at him and walked in.

“Isn’t this… Eldest Young Master! Qing’er greets you!” Su Qing’er and Xiao Lian also went up. When Su Qing’er saw Shi Fengu, she was overjoyed at the turn of events. She quickly paid respects to him and said with a smile, “I was unaware that you would visit our humble home, so I didn’t prepare anything. Our place is simple, so please be magnanimous and bear with this place!”

Once Su Qing’er spoke, she had already regarded herself as the mistress of the house.

Shi Fengju moved to the side and avoided her greeting. He cast her a cold glance. “Your humble home being honored by my presence? I’m here to see my brother. It doesn’t seem to have anything to do with you, does it? And is this courtyard rented or bought by you? Listen to the way you speak!”

Su Qing’er’s expression turned somewhat ugly, but she forcefully maintained a smile before looking at Shi Fengming in grievance.

How could he bear to see her aggrieved? He was displeased and said, “Big Brother…”

Shi Fengju answered him coldly, “Make her leave. I have something to talk to you about!”

“Big Brother, Qing’er is someone I like! You can just say it in front of her!”

Su Qing’er was about to put a few good words for herself, but when she saw that the two brothers were about to be at loggerheads, she quickly said with a smile, “You two chat, you two chat! I’ll go brew the tea!”

After she said that, she bowed and took her leave with Xiao Lian.

The two brothers sat down and there was a cold silence for a moment.

“Big Brother, how did you manage to find this place?” Shi Fengming asked with a forced smile as he unconsciously brushed his own clothes.

Shi Fengju said nonchalantly, “Didn’t you want me to find you? You clearly know that I would be in Hangzhou this time of the year. Our family has a lot of businesses here, yet you’re here now. And here I thought that you were waiting for me to visit you!”
