Chapter 168: Feng Siruo’s Private Domain, Let See

The young lady’s walk-in closet was truly magnificent. Inside, there were all sorts of dresses, a large portion of which still had the tags on. And what Feng Yiyi said was true: Feng Siruo really did have many cute little panties — with bows, white lace, and little raccoons.

They ca in all colors and varieties.

However, Jiang Zhou didn’t get a chance to admire them, as their owner blocked his view.

“No… no looking!” Feng Siruo’s cheeks were flushed, and she stood with her arms outstretched, blocking Jiang Zhou.

A walk-in closet was a very private domain. No boy had ever entered here before. Let alone a girl with social anxiety like Feng Siruo. Even an ordinary girl would be shy, wouldn’t she?

“Just one look.”

“No!”

“Such a stingy girl.”

Jiang Zhou had no choice but to ruffle her hair and walk out of the closet.

Feng Siruo’s bedroom wasn’t large, but it was decorated very warmly.

The faint, pleasant scent of a young girl lingered on her bed, which was covered with Rilakkuma and Pink Panther plushies.

Jiang Zhou sat on her bed for a mont, then was attracted by a notebook on her desk. There were many types of notebooks, but one type was specifically for diaries.

This kind was easy to spot because it ca with a combination lock.

In this era, password diaries were still very popular.

“Are you keeping a diary?”

Feng Siruo nodded.

Jiang Zhou felt a little curious. “Can I take a look?”

“No!”

Feng Siruo was almost in tears.

Why does he want to look at everything? He wanted to see the walk-in closet, the sock drawer, her childhood photo album, and now her diary.

These are the most precious, private items a girl owned!

“If you won’t let see anything, then this trip was a waste.”

Feng Siruo fumbled in her pocket and pulled out a piece of candy for him.

Jiang Zhou looked at it.

Hmm, this ti it wasn’t a milk candy. It was a fruit hard candy. How does she always have candy in her pocket?

Thinking of this, Jiang Zhou was suddenly thoughtful. He recalled what he’d learned in the cafeteria before.

Feng Siruo stubbornly believed that you should eat candy when you’re unhappy, because sugar affects dopamine secretion, forcing a person to be happy for a short ti.

So why does she have so much candy in her pocket? Is she very unhappy?

“How have you been these past couple of days?”

“It’s been okay…”

Jiang Zhou took her small hand. “You didn’t really miss so much that you were sad, did you?”

Feng Siruo puffed out her cheeks and shook her head. “I was just thinking about whether you would co.”

“Well, I’m here now. Are you happy?”

“Mhm.”

“You’re so clingy. You’ll scare people away being so clingy.”

Feng Siruo’s face fell, feeling a little wronged. Her world had always been just her and her loneliness.

Once she got used to it, she didn’t feel so lonely anymore. But he was the one who had to rip open a hole and rush in, and then that beca a habit too.

Now, he was complaining that she was too clingy. Dating was really too difficult.

Just then, the wall clock began to chi. Jiang Zhou looked up. It was already past four in the afternoon.

“It’s ti. I have to go back.”

Feng Siruo looked up. “Now?”

Jiang Zhou nodded. “You co with . I’ll bring you back tonight.”

“Is that allowed?”

“Of course.”

Jiang Zhou held her hand and walked to the living room. Feng Yiyun had already left, and downstairs were only the two girls playing gas.

“Jiang Yuqi, we have to go.”

“Huh? I haven’t played enough yet.”

“Hurry up. We still need to go share a room with your dad.”

Jiang Yuqi reluctantly put down the controller and obediently stood up.

Feng Yiyi saw Feng Siruo. “Sister, are you going too?”

Feng Siruo nodded. “Mhm.”

“Then I’m going too! Brother-in-law, take !”

“No, you don’t want to go.”

Feng Yiyi showed her canines. “You still owe a wish!”

Jiang Zhou was a little helpless. “Your lightbulb wattage is too high. You’ll interrupt trying to flirt with your sister.”

“You used and now you’re abandoning !”

“Be a good girl. Stay ho and watch the house. I’ll take you out next ti.”

Feng Yiyi looked at Feng Siruo. “Sister, it’s so boring at ho. I want to go out too.”

Feng Siruo thought for a mont. “I’ll take you out next ti.”

“…”

Feng Yiyi gave up. She reached into her pocket and tossed Jiang Zhou a car key.

Jiang Zhou caught it and looked at it, confused.

“Auntie left you a car. She said just return it before you leave.”

Jiang Zhou felt a little guilty. “I wish I had brought Auntie a gift.”

Feng Siruo looked at him. “Give it to her when you return the car.”

“Hmm, good point.”

The three of them left the small building and stood by the road. Jiang Zhou pressed the car key, and the lights of a Maybach across the way flashed.

At five o’clock in the afternoon, the sky was already darkening. The traffic in Beihai wasn’t much better than in Shangjing.

They moved inch by inch, and it took a long ti to finally get into the city.

Jiang Zhou followed the location sent by his uncle and found the Camry Hotel. The hotel’s star rating was quite high, and it was located by the sea.

If it weren’t for a business trip paid for by the company, his uncle would never have allowed his aunt and cousin to stay in such a nice hotel.

When a black Maybach pulled up, the bellhop at the hotel entrance imdiately ca over. Jiang Zhou got out of the car, handed him the keys, and walked inside with Feng Siruo and Jiang Yuqi.

Inside, Jiang Honghe was waiting in the lobby. As soon as he saw them, he rushed over.

“What took you so long? It’s already five o’clock.”

Jiang Zhou was slightly confused. “Didn’t you say we just needed to be here before six?”

Jiang Honghe lowered his voice. “Our boss ordered a five-thousand-yuan-per-table banquet. I’m taking you to mooch so of it.”

“He’s inviting guests, right? You can just mooch that?”

“You’re just kids. Just eat and don’t talk, and it’ll be fine, won’t it? Five thousand a table!”

“Well… alright then.”

Jiang Honghe nodded, then suddenly noticed Feng Siruo. “What a beautiful girl! A classmate?”

Jiang Zhou rubbed Feng Siruo’s head. “Prospective girlfriend, her na is Feng Siruo.”

“Way to go, kid! Your charm is as potent as your uncle’s back in the day!”

Feng Siruo was a little shy. “Hello, Uncle.”

Jiang Honghe chuckled. “Hello to you too. Let’s go eat.”

Jiang Yuqi spoke up. “Dad, where’s Mom?”

“She’s been here for a while, waiting inside.”

“Oh, good. You scared . I thought Mom got lost!”

“Lost her? She can find her way here just by sniffing out the free food.”

As he spoke, the group of four headed to the Jade Water Pavilion private room on the third floor.

It must be said, a five-thousand-yuan-per-table banquet certainly made an impression.

The entire private room was magnificent, covering over thirty square ters. It even had a piano inside, though it was unclear if it was real.

Since the guests hadn’t arrived yet, the food hadn’t been served. Sitting alone in the room were one man and three won.

The man was portly, clearly the boss his uncle had ntioned. Next to him sat a woman wearing a mink shawl, presumably the boss’s wife.

Next to the boss’s wife was a girl about the sa age as Jiang Yuqi, with small freckles on her face, engrossed in her phone.

Across from them sat his aunt, Wei Hongxia. She looked very reserved, and her expression seed a little strained.

“Won, you know, you really have to take care of yourselves, or you age quickly after forty.

“Look at you. Your skin is already sagging. You need to get your husband to buy you a card right away.

“My husband, he got a thirty-thousand-dollar value diamond card.

“I don’t go often, mainly because the clerks there are too botherso.

“What’s so special about a diamond card? They just think my family is so rich.

“They wait on hand and foot, treating like a grand-aunt.

“But seriously, Hongxia, you really need to clean yourself up.

“I think I’m a year older than you, right? But you look a decade older than .

“Is your husband not giving you money for maintenance?

“Ah, what can I say? A woman’s life depends on her vision. Find a good husband, and you’ll have everything in this life. Don’t you agree?”

The woman in the mink shawl kept chattering away, her mouth never stopping.

Wei Hongxia didn’t dare to say anything, just kept nodding. But those words were incredibly grating.

Even an experienced debater like his aunt was turning green in the face. She couldn’t help it. This was her husband’s boss.

Even if she wanted to talk back, she didn’t have the courage.

This was the downside of freeloading with your boss. You had to endure whatever was said, even if you couldn’t stand to hear it.

But while she endured it, the resentnt in her heart was gradually building up.

Jiang Zhou had just walked in and saw that his aunt was about to be driven to tears.
