Chapter 674: Chapter 704: The Dream Is Over, Face Reality
Whenever he faced setbacks in real life, or after fighting with Lin Nian, Shen Feng relied on these dreams to find the will to face the next day.
He had even imagined that once he became successful and Shen Yi fell into ruin, he could appear before Qin Jiao as her savior.
He wouldn’t even mind that Qin Jiao had Shen Yi’s child; he would still treat her well.
After all, hadn’t Shen Zhengfeng always had his mother in his heart? Wasn’t that why he had treated her so well for all those years?
Shen Feng considered himself magnanimous, but reality slapped him hard in the face.
Shen Yi’s business was becoming more and more successful.
Qin Jiao and Shen Yi’s relationship was also getting better and better.
’But he, Shen Feng... was becoming more and more of a failure!’
Qin Jiao looked at him with the same unflustered gaze. "Shen Feng, the dream is over. It’s time to face reality."
After she spoke, she put down the receiver and turned to leave.
Shen Feng froze, holding the receiver, not moving for a long time. Watching Qin Jiao’s departing figure, his heart ached as if it had been sliced open.
Seeing that Qin Jiao was about to turn a corner and disappear, Shen Feng slammed his hands against the window and shouted, "Qin Jiao, I love you! I love you!"
They couldn’t hear him through the glass, but by reading his lips, Shen Yi knew what he was shouting.
Shen Yi’s brow furrowed deeply.
Once the two had left the detention center and were back in the car, Shen Yi sat with a dark expression, his fists clenched tightly.
Qin Jiao looked at him. "What’s wrong?"
Shen Yi said with a cold, handsome face, "My fists are itching."
Qin Jiao paused for a moment, then smiled in understanding. She leaned over and kissed his hand. "How about now?"
The hard lines on Shen Yi’s face visibly softened.
He pointed to the corner of his mouth. "This needs a kiss too, to be completely better."
Qin Jiao laughed and gave him a light push. "Alright, just drive. Do you know where we are? If you don’t get going, an officer might come over and say something!"
This certainly wasn’t a place to linger. Shen Yi gave her a deep, meaningful look. "Just you wait until we get home!"
Qin Jiao said with a smile, "When we get home, I have to spend time with Zijin and Xiao You."
The twin brother was named Qin Zijin, and the sister was named Qin Ziyou. Both had taken Qin Jiao’s surname.
In Shen Yi’s words, if it weren’t for the custom that people with the same surname couldn’t marry, he would have wanted to change his surname to Qin as well.
That was why Shen Yi had been so insistent on registering both children with the surname Qin. Qin Jiao was fine with it; she understood his determination.
Shen Yi wanted to draw a clear line between himself and the Shen Family.
He had previously severed ties with Shen Zhengfeng for the sake of his mother, Du Liya. Now, he also had to consider his wife and children.
However, Qin Zhonghui and Su Yun were a little uneasy.
They never expected this outcome. The Shen Family’s circumstances were better than theirs, and the Du family’s were also excellent. For many years, the Du family had helped them a great deal.
Now, even their relatives and friends were benefiting, and their lives were getting better and better.
So how did it turn out that the boy, Xiao Yi... had become a live-in son-in-law?
In the end, it was Du Liya who persuaded the couple. She said casually, "What’s wrong with the surname Qin? It sounds so impressive! Look, even my Little Gu Duo has the surname Qin. It’s perfectly normal for Xiao Jiao and Xiao Yi’s children to be named Qin."
Su Yun and Qin Zhonghui: "..."
The two honest people were left speechless.
’So you could do it like that!’
The car started, slowly driving away from the detention center as a single leaf gently drifted down.
In the end, Shen Feng had to pay the price for the bitter consequences of his own choices.
