Falling in Love Online with an Ancient General

Feng Zhixing: "We happened to have some free time today, so we came to see you."

Feng Qingyi didn't believe a word of this. If these two had nothing to do, they wouldn't come to find her. Usually, they wouldn't even bother to make a phone call. The fact that they were here in person today clearly meant there must be something important.

"If you have something to say, just say it."

Feng Zhixing hesitated for a moment, "Now that you've finished your classes, let's go have a meal together. We'll call your brother too."

"Alright, I'll give my brother a call." Feng Qingyi took out her phone.

Feng Qingci arrived quickly, holding a bottle of cola.

"Why are you here?"

Nan Yin: "Your dad said he had nothing to do today, so he came to take you out for a meal."

"Should we invite Nan Yue too?" Feng Zhixing suggested.

Feng Qingci: "If you invite her, I won't go. You two just happened to come today, later you can take her away. How can you push her onto us when you're the ones who should be hosting her?"

"Alright, after we finish eating, we'll go pick her up," Nan Yin said.

Hearing that they would take Nan Yue away, Feng Qingyi's mood improved considerably. Although she only saw Nan Yue when she returned to the villa these days, having an annoying person at home still affected her mood to some extent.

The four of them went to a Chinese restaurant together. Due to Nan Yin's status, they specifically requested a private room.

Feng Qingyi kept feeling her father's gaze wandering over her, several times even towards her stomach. Unable to hold back, she spoke up, "Dad, why are you looking at me like that today?"

"...It's nothing, I just noticed you seem to have gained some weight recently," Feng Zhixing said.

Feng Qingyi looked at herself, "That's impossible! I just weighed myself this morning. I'm 95 pounds now, three pounds lighter than last month."

"Oh, then maybe I saw wrong," Feng Zhixing said.

Nan Yin went straight to the point: "Your dad thought you might be pregnant, so he came to check."

"Me, pregnant? Dad, where did you get the idea I'm pregnant? I'm only 20, how could I be pregnant? Please don't joke about this."

Feng Qingyi was very puzzled. Why had so many people been asking if she was pregnant lately? After Nan Yue's mother called a few days ago, her grandparents also called, even asking if she had been deceived. Did she really look that unreliable?

Nan Yin: "I told you it was just a rumor, but your dad insisted on coming to see for himself."

Feng Qingyi immediately realized this must have been spread by Nan Yue. She really was sparing no effort to ruin her reputation. Her mother was a gossip, and once she knew, it wouldn't take long for the whole town to know. But she hardly ever went back to that small town, so what was the point of them doing this?

Feng Qingyi asked, "Where did you hear this news from?"

"We got a call from the hometown," Nan Yin replied.

Feng Qingci: "No need to ask, it must have been spread by Nan Yue. You should take her away quickly, out of sight, out of mind."

Feng Zhixing: "I know you don't like her, but we still need to keep up appearances. After all, we're relatives."

Feng Qingci: "That's for you. Our generation is more straightforward. If we like someone, we like them. If we dislike someone, we dislike them. No need for pretenses, it's too hypocritical."

Feng Zhixing sighed, "You kids!"

Nan Yin: "Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. If they don't like her, they don't like her. As long as they're happy, that's what matters. Let's eat quickly!"

After the meal, Feng Zhixing and Nan Yin went back to the villa with Feng Qingyi.

Nan Yin curled up on the sofa watching TV, with a pile of snacks on the table.

Although Nan Yue was very reluctant, she still packed her things and left with Feng Zhixing and Nan Yin.

Nan Yue was the type who feared nothing and no one, and even at home she walked around like she owned the place. But there was one person she was afraid of, and that was Feng Zhixing.

When she saw him, she became as meek as a quail, not daring to say a word.

When Feng Qingyi was young, Nan Yue had pushed her down a snow-covered hillside. She rolled for hundreds of meters and hit her head on a rock, resulting in a week-long fever.

When Feng Zhixing found out, he ignored everyone's protests and picked up Nan Yue, throwing her onto that same hillside.

Although her family quickly retrieved her, it scared her so much that from then on, she was like a mouse seeing a cat whenever she encountered Feng Zhixing.

After Nan Yue left, Feng Qingyi felt like the air had become fresher. Feng Qingci also moved back into the villa, and the two resumed their normal life.

The next time Feng Qingyi went to Shengjing, she encountered someone she didn't want to see at the Peng Lai Residence - Shangguan Yi.

Shangguan Yi hadn't been doing well lately. Princess Xuan He had sent a letter to his father, who was furious and locked him up again.

Taking advantage of this situation, his father had arranged a marriage for him. The bride-to-be was a plain-looking daughter from a noble family, and they were set to have a grand wedding next month.

Shangguan Yi blamed all of this on Feng Qingyi and wanted to get back at her. So he snuck out to find her.

However, he couldn't find her anywhere in Shengjing. He even went to ask Xu Linghe, but Xu Linghe knew his intentions weren't good and didn't reveal any information about Feng Qingyi.

He could only wait at the Peng Lai Residence, but after waiting for ten days to half a month, he still hadn't seen her.

He was about to give up when she suddenly appeared.

The teahouse wasn't very crowded in the morning. When Feng Qingyi walked in, she ignored Shangguan Yi sitting in the main hall.

Shangguan Yi quickly stood up, "Feng Qingyi, are you blind?"

Feng Qingyi walked towards the kitchen as if she hadn't seen him, and Shangguan Yi followed.

In the small courtyard between the kitchen and the main hall, Shangguan Yi reached out to grab Feng Qingyi, but she dodged him.

"What do you want?"

Shangguan Yi moved closer to Feng Qingyi, "Xu Linghe isn't here today. Don't you think I can handle you alone?"

Feng Qingyi turned and kicked Shangguan Yi in the groin, causing him to cry out in pain.

"You bitch, I won't let you off!"

As soon as Shangguan Yi finished speaking, several men appeared out of nowhere.

"Miss Feng, we're sorry you were frightened. We'll take care of this person. Please don't worry, Miss Feng, he won't bother you again in the future."

Feng Qingyi looked at the man speaking. She didn't seem to have met him before.

"Who are you?"

Qin Yi: "This subordinate was sent by the General to protect Miss Feng."

"Oh." She had indeed heard Qin Yuchuan mention that he had some of his own forces in Shengjing.

"If Miss Feng has any problems she can't solve, you can go to the Xizhao Tower. We'll take care of this Young Master Shangguan!"

Shangguan Yi: "Qin Yi, where are you taking me? Put me down now!"

"Our apologies, Young Master Shangguan, we're just following orders."

Qin Yi made a gesture, and the men quickly leapt over the wall, soon disappearing without a trace.
