Chapter 502: Chapter 501: In Love?

"Hehe, nothing much, just an old acquaintance invited me out, so sorry Junior Sister, let’s leave it at that for today. Let’s talk more tomorrow morning."

Situ Qingfeng explained with a smile, then turned to pull open the car door and got in.

An old acquaintance?

Zeng Xiaomei was startled for a moment, and instantly, Situ Qingfeng’s afternoon scene, hugging Xiao Yi and excitedly shouting "Boss" with wild enthusiasm, flashed through her mind. It wasn’t until she heard the sound of Situ Qingfeng’s car starting that she snapped back to reality, placing a hand on the car door and looking at Situ Qingfeng inside, "Wait a second, Senior Brother, is this old acquaintance the ’Boss’ you mentioned this afternoon?"

"This... is not."

Situ Qingfeng glanced at Zeng Xiaomei, who had an extremely urgent expression in her eyes, hesitated for a moment, and then shook his head.

After speaking, he couldn’t help feeling a twinge of guilt, thinking, sorry, Junior Sister, the Boss’s identity is extraordinary, I don’t want anyone to know, so I can only lie to you.

"Not him?"

Zeng Xiaomei asked again with a somewhat suspicious look on her face.

"Really, it’s not him. This old friend is from Glass City. Okay, Junior Sister, I’ll tell you the details later. I have to go now, my friend is short on time and is waiting for me."

Situ Qingfeng wasn’t very good at lying, and seeing that Zeng Xiaomei seemed suspicious, coupled with his guilt, he didn’t want the conversation to keep going, afraid it would lead to more and more slip-ups. In haste, he quickly made up an excuse and wanted to leave, but seeing that Zeng Xiaomei was still holding onto his car, seemingly wanting to say something more, he had no choice but to say resignedly, "When have you ever seen me lie or deceive you, Junior Sister?"

"This is really important to me."

"Well... Senior Brother, I hope everything goes smoothly for you. By the way, do you know how to get to the place you’re meeting? Do you need me to drive you there?"

Zeng Xiaomei was still somewhat hesitant in her heart. It wasn’t that she was overly suspicious, but today’s events were just too bizarre. Combining Situ Qingfeng’s demeanor and actions with his excitement upon seeing Xiao Yi that afternoon, she couldn’t help but wander down that line of thought.

But after hearing the last two sentences from Situ Qingfeng, her mind was set at ease. She had known Situ Qingfeng for more than a day or two; he was a man of few words with a cold demeanor, but he had never been known to lie.

If he said that, then there probably wasn’t anything to be concerned about.

Subconsciously, she released her hand, while a sense of guilt emerged in her heart. She had just doubted whether Senior Brother Situ had lied to her about something, which was truly improper of her.

However, immediately after, she thought of something and grabbed onto his car door again.

"No need, the place we agreed on isn’t too far. I appreciate your kindness, Junior Sister."

Situ Qingfeng, seeing the expression on Zeng Xiaomei’s face, felt even more guilty and even less inclined to talk further. After speaking, he quickly waved his hand, "Alright, Junior Sister, I need to go now. We’ll talk later."

After speaking, he started the car and sped off towards the main gate.

Could it be that Senior Brother Situ is seeing someone?

Zeng Xiaomei, watching the police car slowly drive out of the Public Security Bureau’s gate, suddenly had a strange thought.

That must be it. Otherwise, who else could make Senior Brother Situ rush out so urgently with just a phone call? Besides, his expression just now, upon hearing her offer to show him the way, his look of awkwardness... It was obviously a man deeply in love... And earlier, when he answered the phone, that look of urgency... It must be that his lover had misunderstood something, which was why he was in such a hurry!

Given his age, he isn’t that young anymore. It’s time for him to get married. Even if he isn’t in a rush, his family certainly won’t let it go.

Plus, didn’t he just say that his old friend is from Glass City? It’s highly likely. Hehe, I just wonder which family in Glass City Senior Brother Situ’s girlfriend or fiancée comes from. The Liu Family? The Zhao Family? Or the Shen Family? Or... could it be that legendary Long Family?

The more Zeng Xiaomei thought about it, the more she felt that her guess made sense. Recalling Situ Qingfeng’s behavior, she couldn’t help but secretly chuckle, while curiosity began to well up inside her, making her speculate further.

But such baseless speculation was ultimately futile. After a while, she realized that it was something she couldn’t guess.

Regardless of which family the girl belongs to, anyone who would match Senior Brother Situ would definitely not be from an ordinary family. It has to be one of those few major families, and surely, any girl matched with Senior Brother Situ is going to be a good girl.

No matter what, Senior Brother Situ’s lifelong matter had finally been resolved, settled, and it was a joyful occasion indeed, truly something for Senior Brother Situ to be happy about!

Thinking of Situ Qingfeng’s emotions finally having a place to call home, Zeng Xiaomei’s heart harbored not a hint of jealousy or any negative emotions, only full-hearted joy and sincere blessings.

Although Situ Qingfeng held an absolutely extraordinary place in her heart, and while he might have been her senior brother, in her eyes, he was more like a mentor to her, constantly cautioning and caring for her!

But this gratitude, after all, had not transformed into romantic feelings between a man and a woman, and the faint thread of affection that had emerged during her girlhood had long been cut by both of them, leaving it to drift away with the wind. As time passed and they both grew up, they felt increasingly grateful for that past decisiveness.

Had it not been for that decisive moment back then, they might not have today’s pure and deep brother-sister bond, which, undoubtedly, is far more precious than those shallow and impulsive feelings of old!

Therefore, at this moment, Zeng Xiaomei’s admiration for Situ Qingfeng could be described as immense, even bordering on worship. Of course, there was also gratitude and dependence, but emotionally, she truly had no intention of developing any sort of relationship with Situ Qingfeng.

Now, she simply treasured even more the sibling-like bond she shared with Situ Qingfeng! Moreover, she was now clearer than ever about what she wanted; Situ Qingfeng was someone she admired but not someone suited to be her lifelong companion.

To be able to make Senior Brother Situ leave his work and rush to see her, it seems she must make it a point to meet this amazing woman warrior someday and ask her how she tolerates Senior Brother Situ’s bad temper and how she’s tamed him so well?

After a long while, Zeng Xiaomei finally snapped out of her reverie, a curious and gossipy look appearing on her face, and a faint smile tugged at the corners of her mouth as she thought.

......

"Boss!"

As soon as Situ Qingfeng got out of the car and saw Xiao Yi standing on the roadside, he couldn’t help but fling himself at him and gave Xiao Yi a fierce bear hug. This time, without any acquaintances around, he didn’t have to worry about anything else.

"You little rascal, can’t you be a bit gentler? Don’t you know my bones are fragile, I can’t take such rough handling!"

This time, Xiao Yi didn’t need to suffer like he had in the afternoon. Feeling Situ Qingfeng’s powerful embrace, his heart swelled with excitement, and a smile graced his face as he patted Situ Qingfeng on the back.

"Tsk, it’s been so long and you still love to play tough!"

Upon hearing Xiao Yi’s words, a look of mock contempt flashed across Situ Qingfeng’s face, but he nevertheless let Xiao Yi go, considering that it wasn’t very seemly for two grown men to be embracing each other in such a public place.

"What act? I am an honest man. My bones really are fragile."

Xiao Yi rolled his eyes in displeasure and said, "You are now a high-ranked practitioner of the Bone Tempering Period. One careless move from you could break my arms or legs."

"Boss, I despise you!"

Situ Qingfeng, unable to bear it any longer, gave Xiao Yi the middle finger.

This boss has everything going for him except for being overly sly, always liking to play the pig to eat the tiger and trick people. Thinking back to the beginning... As past memories flooded his mind, Situ Qingfeng couldn’t help but feel a surge of grudges.

When they had first met, Xiao Yi was just a little brat with a frail appearance, and he thought to look after him. Therefore, he would show off his strength in front of Xiao Yi whenever possible and even got Xiao Yi to acknowledge him as the boss... But Xiao Yi never uttered a word in protest, always smiling amiably and cooperatively playing along... it wasn’t until much later, when the instructor told him that Xiao Yi was a specially invited expert and the leader of the operation team, that he was utterly dumbfounded!

When he found out the truth, thinking about how he had acted in front of Xiao Yi, he almost wanted to die from embarrassment... It could be said that it was the most embarrassing moment of Situ Qingfeng’s life!

"How many people have despised me? Where do you rank among them?"

As Xiao Yi observed Situ Qingfeng’s expression, his mind was drawn back to those early days, recalling how Situ Qingfeng used to swagger before him, claiming to be the boss and vowing to protect him. A spontaneous smile crept onto his lips, and his heart warmed slightly.

It was a while before he regained his focus and remembered a funny internet phrase he had heard during a conversation with Wang Xiaohu. He gave Situ Qingfeng a look and said.

"Alright, let’s not stand here. Let’s go inside, have a couple of drinks, and chat at our leisure."

After joking around for a bit, Xiao Yi, noticing the curious glances of the passersby, smiled and spoke. (To be continued. If you like this work, welcome to Qidian.com to vote for recommendation tickets and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
