Chapter 698: She Has An Appointment
"I take care of it just like everyone else, with meticulous attention every day," Su Li said somewhat gloomily.Could it be because the temperature here is too low?
Feng Ciye reached out a finger to touch the water in the glass bottle, then placed it under his delicate nose to sniff gently. He instantly smiled brightly, "This water is tap water, isn’t it?"
Su Li nodded.
"For these cut flower branches, if you want to keep them well, it’s best to use a special nutrient solution. That solution is transparent just like tap water, no wonder you mistook it. And you also need to pay attention to..."
Feng Ciye spoke leisurely, then suddenly changed his tone and asked sharply, "But peach blossoms should bloom in two more months. How did you get this?"
Su Li felt embarrassed being asked. Where did this come from? It was a gift from Tuanzi. They have a time difference!
Feng Ciye wasn’t annoyed when Su Li didn’t answer. His pale fingers lightly brushed over the wilting petals, making them shiver gently.
Just as Su Li was considering finding an excuse to leave, Feng Ciye casually said, "Su Li, I remember when we were kidnapped and held together as kids, you said you wanted to see a lantern exhibition after we got out. The Lantern Festival in An City is grander than elsewhere, want to take a look?"
If she hadn’t known in advance that the Lantern Festival and Valentine’s Day were on the same day, she might’ve agreed impulsively.
Feng Ciye didn’t mention Valentine’s Day, who knows if he’s like her previous self, thinking it was just a simple Lantern Festival?
Su Li looked up at Feng Ciye’s flawlessly jade-white, gentle profile, wondering if he really doesn’t know or if he’s just pretending.
As Su Li pondered how to refuse, a cold voice, sharp as frost and snow, came from afar, "She’s already committed."
Su Li and Feng Ciye immediately looked towards the voice, and Feng Huaijin stood several meters away, looking at them with a solemn expression.
Su Li instinctively took a step in the opposite direction to Feng Ciye.
It’s not like she approached Feng Ciye on purpose, it just so happened that Fourth Young Master was passing by.
She and Feng Ciye shared a bond that went through life and death. After all, it was she who saved the two Feng Family young masters back then, she couldn’t just not talk to Feng Ciye, right?
As Feng Huaijin walked towards them, Feng Ciye chuckled lightly, "Having plans so early? What a pity."
Though Feng Ciye said "pity", his face didn’t reveal any disappointment.
Feng Huaijin’s facial features bore a cold indifference as he glanced at Su Li and said to Feng Ciye, "Father wants you to babysit."
Feng Ciye sighed; though he had a mild and easygoing temperament, it didn’t mean he liked taking care of kids!
Being asked to take care of that little girl, Nannan, even Feng Ciye found it unusually headache-inducing.
Feng Ciye glanced at Su Li and smiled, "Remember what I said, see you next time."
With that, Feng Ciye walked toward the main house of the Feng Family’s old residence, soon disappearing from sight.
Feng Huaijin smirked intriguingly, "It’s as if we’re letting Old Fourth experience what it’s like to take care of kids in advance."
Who in the whole family likes to take care of kids? Women like Fifth just took the whole family abroad for a vacation.
The Feng Family Master wasn’t comfortable leaving Nannan with a rascal like Old Six, and the other daughters were still in school. Fifth went traveling, so after considering everything, he entrusted her temporarily to the good-tempered Feng Ciye.
Su Li silently looked at Feng Huaijin, thinking... shouldn’t the one who needs to experience taking care of kids the most be Feng Huaijin himself??
