Chapter 1186: Not Fat, Just Right
Su Li didn’t refuse and had the old butler see the interviewers out.The moment they left through the front door, Su Li grabbed her skirt and bolted madly up to the study on the second floor, absolutely thrilled.
"Feng Huaijin, Mr. Qi! Do you know? I’m about to be on the national news!"
Feng Huaijin lifted his eyelids, watching Su Li’s excited flailing with a smile, and asked with a soft chuckle, "So this is your crisis-management plan?"
Su Li was stunned for a moment. A CCTV interview wasn’t enough?
Feng Huaijin shook his head lightly, his long, veined hand picking up the phone beside him as he dialed a number...
This mess, he still had to clean up for her.
Su Li sat to the side and thought it over carefully, but couldn’t figure out any big problem, so she just sat cross-legged nearby to watch the show.
Looking at his broad back, straight and towering like a mountain, as if a thin halo rested on his shoulders, she suddenly said, "Huai Jin, once we’re done with everything we’re busy with, let’s go to the cinema and watch a movie. No Tuanzi, just us."
Feng Huaijin hung up the phone and turned around, looking at Su Li with interest. "You want to see a movie? What’s wrong with watching at home?"
The Feng Family estate was huge, with a dedicated home theater whose sound and picture were in no way inferior to an actual cinema. When Feng Huaijin wasn’t too busy before, he liked to sit in there alone and watch documentaries.
Su Li laid both hands on the desk, her smile blooming like a flower as she gazed at him. "Of course home doesn’t work. Have you ever seen a couple go on a date... at home?"
With one long stride, Feng Huaijin walked over to her, half leaning against the desk in front of her. He lifted his hand and gently ruffled her hair, his brows and eyes tinged with tenderness. "Okay. Once we’re both done with everything, we’ll go to the cinema together. We won’t bring that little brat."
Hearing what he called Tuanzi, Su Li was momentarily speechless. She raised her hand to swat him, and just happened to smack his firm waist. When she heard his muffled grunt, her ears warmed a little and she muttered, "I didn’t even hit you that hard. He’s about to start school over there, and you’re still holding grudges against a kid?"
Their world and Tuanzi’s world had a time difference of almost two months.
Tuanzi’s school had delayed the start of the term because of a summer camp. Tuanzi hadn’t signed up for it, so school had already been pushed back; it was probably starting soon.
Su Li had only just gone on break herself, and he was already going back to school.
Most likely, from now on he’d only be able to come over and play on weekends at most.
When Feng Huaijin heard this, his gaze slid down from Su Li’s lovely face, all the way to her belly.
He hated things he couldn’t control. Tuanzi’s comings and goings were beyond his control, but if Su Li got pregnant, that would be something within his control.
But she just couldn’t get pregnant.
Feng Huaijin slanted a look at Su Li’s flat little stomach, and suddenly a string in his mind went taut. Could it really be like the old butler said?
Was it really that he was the one who couldn’t, so... Su Li’s belly had stayed silent all this time?
Sitting cross-legged on his swivel chair, Su Li noticed his gaze fixed on her lower abdomen, as if his eyes were about to burn two holes into it, and the expression on his face was becoming harder and harder to read.
Su Li gave a small cough and instinctively reached out to cover her stomach.
These past few days, her appetite had increased, and she’d been eating a lot. She didn’t know if everything she ate had gone straight to her belly.
Su Li snuck a look at her stomach and felt like she’d gotten fatter.
Just as she was wondering if she should start dieting to lose weight, his low chuckle sounded above her head. "You’re not fat. Just right."
