Feng Qing let out a soft scoff and quickly started teasing him. "So you were jealous. No wonder you're being so childish."
"I..." Although Sheng Yan didn't want to admit it, he seemed to have no evidence to deny it. So he simply started acting like a rascal. "I don't care. You must tell me today why he sent you home."
"Otherwise, I'll get angry, the kind that can't be coaxed." To show his anger, he deliberately folded his arms and looked displeased.
Feng Qing felt embarrassed seeing his behavior. She turned around and quickly walked towards the residential area, afraid that someone would find out she knew Sheng Yan.
The two entered the elevator one after another. There were already other people in the elevator. Feng Qing was worried that Sheng Yan would still do something extremely embarrassing in front of others, so she glared at him several times, hoping he would shut up.
But instead of shutting up, Sheng Yan became even more excessive.
He looked at the two boxes of candied strawberries in Feng Qing's hand pitifully and started his act. "Sister, can't you give me one candied strawberry? I really want to eat it."
Feng Qing was annoyed by him. If it weren't for the other people in the elevator, she might have punched him first.
When Sheng Yan said that, everyone in the elevator looked at Feng Qing and the candied strawberries in her hand.
Under their gazes, the two boxes of candied strawberries in her hand were exposed, and soon the looks in their eyes changed.
Feng Qing wished she could find a hole to crawl into.
Finally reaching their floor, Feng Qing quickly walked out of the elevator. As soon as the elevator door closed, she turned around and grabbed Sheng Yan's ear, making him yell in pain.
"Got some nerve, huh?"
"Ahh, I'm wrong, I'm wrong. Please let go, let go." Sheng Yan pleaded with a distorted expression, in extreme pain.
Only then did Feng Qing let go of his ear. She turned around and walked to her doorstep to unlock the door. Sheng Yan also came closer, but was pushed away by her.
"Come to my place only when you know where you were wrong."
She closed the door and went in. Sheng Yan still stubbornly said against the door, "Why are you still distinguishing between your place and my place at this time? Isn't it all our home?"
The only response he got was the cold door and the empty corridor.
It was really eerie and cold. Sheng Yan didn't stay at Feng Qing's doorstep for long before he went back to his own place.
Feng Qing didn't answer his calls, so he could only keep sending her messages, apologizing and flattering her.
Feng Qing remained unmoved. It wasn't until he admitted that his behavior towards Xie Chongguan at the community entrance today was inappropriate that Feng Qing finally replied to his message.
[Your attitude of admitting faults is good. I'll convey it to him.]
Sheng Yan almost rolled his eyes so hard that they popped out. He could only try to remedy the situation. [I'm apologizing to you, not to him. You can't convey it to him.]
[Wait! When did you two even get each other's contact information? WeChat or phone?]
Feng Qing didn't reply to him. He was so anxious that he paced around the house like an ant on a hot pan. He quickly called Feng Qing.
As soon as Feng Qing answered the call, Sheng Yan bombarded her with questions like an interrogator. She couldn't help but hold the phone farther away and frowned.
"Sheng Yan, I'm not a criminal. What are you doing? Interrogating me?"
Sheng Yan paused, and his voice quickly weakened. "I just want to know."
"I'm not a criminal nor your accessory. For normal interpersonal interactions, I don't need to tell you every detail, and you can't interfere with my freedom to make friends."
"I know, I know. I know I was wrong just now." As soon as Sheng Yan heard Feng Qing's tone was wrong, he immediately started apologizing, afraid that his apology wouldn't come fast enough. "I just saw that he had designs on you and was worried about you."
Feng Qing was so angry that she laughed. "Sheng Yan, I'm not money. How could everyone who sees me like me? Can you stop being so sensitive?"
"Do you know men better or do I? I think he has some motives for you."
"I've eaten more salt than you have, so I should be the one who knows better. I can tell whether a man likes me or not."
You can tell? Sheng Yan didn't dare to say this out loud. He only dared to think it in his heart. If Feng Qing heard this, he would probably have to apologize for a long time.
"Then it's best if he doesn't like you. Don't be angry with me, okay? Try the candied strawberries I bought. If they're sweet, don't be angry with me."
"I'll see." After saying that, Feng Qing hung up the phone. Sheng Yan didn't know whether she ate the candied strawberries or not.
But he didn't dare to urge her again, afraid that he would accidentally make her unhappy again.
After a while, when he had completely calmed down and his rationality returned, he remembered some important things.
His elder brother said that Jian Jiaojiao couldn't forgive her father because her father had signed the papers to abort her child without her consent. What about Feng Qing? Her child was also aborted because of her father, and her father's death was also related to his father. Could she really forgive his father?
Actually, he didn't care whether she forgave his father or not. He was just worried that Feng Qing would hate him because of this.
In the hospital before, she was so determined and crazy. He thought she would break up with him again.
Fortunately, she didn't break up with him. But even if they didn't break up, didn't she have any grudges in her heart?
He didn't know whether she had accepted his statement of withdrawing from Shengshi. This matter was like a time bomb hidden in his heart all the time, and he didn't know when this bomb would explode.
Everything seemed to be in turmoil. He also thought that as long as Feng Qing didn't leave him, he was willing to do anything.
There was also the matter of Zheng Qian. He didn't want to hide it from Feng Qing, but he was afraid that once Feng Qing knew about it, she would direct her anger at his father again, and their relationship might be affected again.
So what if... he proposed to her before that?
He had been talking about proposing before, but because of Feng Qing's miscarriage, he didn't have the energy to think about other things at all.
Now that many things seemed to have passed, it seemed to be a good opportunity?
Sheng Yan really wanted to propose as soon as possible. Of course, it would be even better if they could get married faster. Only after getting married would he not be so scared all the time, afraid that one day when he woke up, Feng Qing would be gone again.
To avoid any complications, he quickly started making preparations.
Feng Qing had no idea about this. Since Jian Jiaojiao was not in the country, she didn't know who else to go shopping with. She just commuted between the company and home every day, being a diligent worker.
She never expected that the seemingly normal Sheng Yan would give her such a big "surprise".
She went to work as usual. Not long after the lunch break ended, the company suddenly became very noisy. She frowned and was about to go and see what was going on when she suddenly received a message from Sheng Yan.
Sheng Yan: [Open the blinds.]
Feng Qing didn't have the habit of opening the blinds when she was working, so she was suspicious about what was outside the window before opening them.
After she opened the blinds, her expression instantly froze, and she immediately called Sheng Yan.
"Sheng Yan, are you crazy!"
