Chapter 1566: Chapter 1567: Just Returned Yesterday?

"What do you mean?" She asked blankly, looking at her friend.

Luo Xiaoqian glanced at Qin Feimo inside the car, whose face was obscured by the darkness.

"I think, he must like you."

Feng Jinglei was a little stunned, but she felt her friend was overthinking. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

"You’re thinking too much."

"No way, don’t doubt my judgment, I’m very accurate at reading people!" Luo Xiaoqian said confidently.

"All right, I really have to go, see you another day."

Knowing that Qin Feimo’s mood was unpredictable and worried he would get impatient waiting in the car, Feng Jinglei said her goodbyes and left.

"Bye-bye!"

Watching her get into the car, Luo Xiaoqian waved her hand.

Throughout the drive, Qin Feimo just drove without speaking, but his mood was much better than when he came.

Feng Jinglei kept looking out the car window, occasionally turning to glance at the man’s exquisite profile.

"You haven’t slept yet, this late."

The road back to the Commander Residence was still long, and Feng Jinglei felt that finding something to chat about would help her relax, otherwise, the atmosphere was too oppressive.

"Hmm."

Qin Feimo just responded faintly, without saying anything else.

It seemed to fall silent again, so Feng Jinglei continued to search for a topic, "Actually, you didn’t have to come pick me up, Xiaoqi lives alone, she wouldn’t mind the disturbance."

After her words fell, Qin Feimo remained silent for about a minute, and Feng Jinglei hesitated whether to say something else.

If she didn’t speak, the atmosphere would be stiff; if she spoke, it was like she was talking to herself.

Just as her heart was filled with mixed emotions, Qin Feimo spoke, continuing the topic she started, "I’ve never heard you mention this friend before."

The sudden statement surprised Feng Jinglei a little.

She indeed rarely mentioned Xiaoqi before, but she had occasionally talked about her with Grandma Qin, and he was there too—only someone who doesn’t care wouldn’t pay attention to what she said, right?

Of course, she wouldn’t openly say these words to Qin Feimo, she just lowered her head and spoke softly, "Xiaoqi had been studying after graduation, she got her designer certificate just recently, and she only returned from abroad yesterday. I didn’t want to bother her, so we hadn’t been in touch much these two years, hence... I didn’t mention it."

Upon hearing this, Qin Feimo frowned slightly and turned his head to look at her.

"Returned just yesterday?"

"Yes."

"Was she abroad all this time, never returned?"

She didn’t understand the reason behind his questioning, "Yes... she went to study just a few days before I planned to leave the Commander Residence."

What exactly did he want to ask?

"Do you have any other female friends?"

"No, just Xiaoqi."

Qin Feimo’s dark eyes narrowed, then he turned his head after two seconds, his deep eyes emitting a dangerous glint, pressing her, "So, you were lying to me back then?"

She was stunned, not understanding, "What?"

"At the beginning of the year, you said you went to the hospital with a friend, and she was female, hmm?"

"..." How did he bring up something from the beginning of the year? She didn’t even remember.

That time she went to the hospital for a prenatal checkup and just came up with a random excuse, how could he remember?

"I..." She hesitated, which made Qin Feimo more convinced she was lying.

And what he hated most in his life was deception.

Qin Feimo’s face fell, if the friend she went to the hospital with that day wasn’t Xiaoqi, then who could it be? Xiang Jinnan?

The more he thought, the gloomier his face became, stepping harder on the gas pedal, making the luxurious sports car race through the night like a whirlwind.
