Chapter 505: Chapter 463: The Contrast Between Beifeng and Qin Jingchen

It was just a meal, not like it was anything new; Fen Ye really didn’t understand the joy of a man in love.

He said, "Well, that’s great then. But Jingchen, do you think sister-in-law will get used to staying at the Jiang family home? Have you asked her about it?"

"I haven’t asked," Qin Jingchen said with decided certainty, "but she should be quite accustomed to it."

"Are you communicating with her through brainwaves? I suspect you two have brainwave resonance! Honestly, you often know what the other is thinking without communicating. How do you do it? Teach me!"

"It’s not brainwaves, it’s deduction," Qin Jingchen replied patiently, "Before, wherever Jiang Zhe was, she always woke up early in the morning. She preferred napping at noon rather than sleeping in. She’s not a girl who’s fond of sleeping late. But being able to sleep until ten at the Jiang family’s place is enough to prove that she feels at ease there, and the people there don’t make her feel oppressed."

Fen Ye shook his head: "How does that not simply mean she went to bed late last night and stayed up?"

"Last night, during our video call, I watched her fall asleep. It was at ten o’clock," Qin Jingchen waved his cellphone.

Fen Ye: "No more, that’s enough, I’m full, I’m full!"

Jiang Zhe went downstairs for breakfast, bringing up the matter of dinner that evening.

The elder Mrs. Jiang didn’t have much of a fondness for Qin Jingchen, but she didn’t object either: "I’ll have the butler personally take you there."

After thinking it over, Jiang Zhe nodded, "That works."

"Is he treating you well?" the elder Mrs. Jiang asked.

Mainly, the problem was the marriage agreement. At the time, Jiang Zhe wasn’t even eighteen and had been forcibly persuaded by Qin Jingchen to agree, which still caused her resentment.

"Which aspect are you referring to?"

The elder Mrs. Jiang said, "How does he compare to Beifeng?"

Jiang Zhe: "..."

The elder Mrs. Jiang smiled and said, "As long as he’s better than Beifeng, I’ll be relieved. Just tell me without sugarcoating it."

"About the same as Beifeng, I guess," Jiang Zhe said.

The elder Mrs. Jiang knew she was speaking favorably for Qin Jingchen.

Everyone knew how proud and privileged Qin Jingchen was; how could he be as caring as Beifeng?

The elder Mrs. Jiang didn’t say anything more. It would be better to plan for this in the long term.

In the evening, Jiang Zhe left the house.

Since the butler was taking her there, Qin Jingchen did not come to pick her up by car.

Upon reaching the dinner venue, Xiaobao and Fatty had also arrived.

"Idol!" Xiaobao ran over, "Thank you for treating us to dinner."

"Let’s talk inside," Jiang Zhe said.

The group of three walked in.

Qin Jingchen had just arrived at the entrance, especially to greet her.

Seeing Xiaobao and Fatty, he nodded in acknowledgment.

Xiaobao and Fatty had no idea he was Beifeng; they had only heard from Jiang Zhe that he was a friend. Seeing Qin Jingchen in his suit and with an impressive bearing, they both felt slightly intimidated.

Once inside the private room, Fen Ye was watching a video.

It was a live stream of military training.

He hadn’t watched much of it at Zhuo Jinman’s place and was now voraciously glued to his phone as if starved.

Qin Jingchen tapped a few times on the table in front of Fen Ye, who finally looked up, "Jingchen, you’ve got to admit sister-in-law is amazing! That dagger, it just sliced over the wolf’s belly! That takes some serious waist strength."

Fatty quickly caught the words "sister-in-law," "Are you talking about my idol Jiang Zhe?"

"Of course," Fen Ye replied, having seen the live stream and recognizing who Fatty was, "Who else could it be?"

"Then who’s your brother?"

Fen Ye pointed at Qin Jingchen.

Fatty and Xiaobao suddenly felt a bit resentful; where was Beifeng then?

They both looked at Jiang Zhe with questioning eyes.

Caught in their gaze, Jiang Zhe almost thought she’d been caught red-handed cheating.

She looked at Xiaobao, "I thought you didn’t approve of Beifeng pursuing me?"

"But after all, he’s my master, and even though I feel my master isn’t good enough for you, he’s still better than a stranger, right?" Xiaobao said with conviction.

Qin Jingchen: "..."

So in their eyes, that’s all he was—a master like that.

Jiang Zhe spread her hands, "Well, there’s nothing I can do, we’re already engaged."

Xiaobao and Fatty fell silent, feeling deeply apologetic to their master.

Fen Ye noticed their objections to Qin Jingchen and realized that they still didn’t know Jingchen was Beifeng.

He grinned and said, "Sister-in-law, isn’t it too bright bringing so many friends along, like extra light bulbs?"

Jiang Zhe glanced at him, "Is there anyone brighter than you?"

Fen Ye: "..."

Qin Jingchen laughed, "Alright, let’s all take a seat. The dishes will be served soon."

Jiang Zhe chose a spot to sit, and Xiaobao immediately said, "I want to sit with my idol!"

Fatty immediately moved toward the seat on Jiang Zhe’s other side.

But he couldn’t be faster than Qin Jingchen.

Qin Jingchen appeared unhurried, but he was several steps ahead and sat down beside Jiang Zhe.

Xiaobao glared at Fatty with disdain.

Fatty: He’s too agile, how can you blame me?

"Alright, just sit down," Xiaobao said.

After Qin Jingchen sat down next to Jiang Zhe, he naturally took her left hand and offered her fresh cherries, pouring her tea.

Xiaobao was a step too late, all the attentiveness had been monopolized by Qin Jingchen.

Jiang Zhe briefly introduced them to each other.

Xiaobao and Fatty always felt slightly awkward.

But Fen Ye was in high spirits, effortlessly playing the role of mood-maker among the group.

As the dishes were served, he enthusiastically invited everyone to eat.

Xiaobao glanced at Qin Jingchen and said, "Speaking of eating, our master Beifeng is excellent at roasting dishes. We should have him treat us to a meal some time to really enjoy his culinary skills."

"Is that so?" Qin Jingchen looked up and asked.

"Absolutely. Don’t believe me, ask my idol! The key point is, not only does my master cook well, he’s also smart. He can do anything, everywhere; you’re aware of the military training livestream, right? That was an incredibly impressive outing, and throughout it all, my master played a huge role, taking perfect care of my idol," Xiaobao boasted.

Fen Ye tried to hold back a laugh as he said, "In that case, your master really is amazing. But as far as I know, your sister-in-law was also outstanding during the whole thing."

"That’s exactly right, both my idol and my master are excellent. They truly complement each other, a match made in heaven, equally matched, a perfect pair!" Xiaobao finished and turned to Fatty, "I used the idioms correctly, right?"

"All correct," Fatty gave a thumbs up.

"Oh, so then, is it that your master has feelings for your idol, or is it your idol who has feelings for your master?" Fen Ye asked.

Qin Jingchen held his chopsticks, but his gaze rested solely on Jiang Zhe’s lips.

Recalling the time they touched in the dense forest when no one was around, he found the aftertaste lingering, and he couldn’t help but relish it repeatedly.

Jiang Zhe chewed her food leisurely.

Xiaobao originally wanted to say that they were mutually attracted, but considering Jiang Zhe and Qin Jingchen were engaged, he thought it wouldn’t be nice to say that, so he instead said, "It should be my master who pursued my idol! But to any discerning person, it’s clear they are very well-matched!"
