In the living room on the first floor, Raymond finally regained his rationality. He looked at the opened rooms on the second floor and his expression gradually turned cold.
“Why do you not have your own room in such a big house?” Raymond asked. “Didn’t President Feng and Madam Feng say that Qingqing has always lived in the Feng villa?”
Feng Yuanzhou’s expression tightened. He heard very clearly that Raymond had just called him President Feng, and his tone was not as respectful as when he called him Uncle Feng.
Fu Anlan turned sideways and avoided Raymond’s gaze. She blinked at Feng Qing desperately, signaling her to stop talking.
“Oh, I remember now. They didn’t lie to you. I do have a room in the Feng family.” Feng Qing pretended to be enlightened.
Raymond asked quickly, “Where?”
Feng Qing smiled strangely and pointed at the bottom of the staircase. “If I remember correctly, they discussed this matter before and gave me the stairwell below. They even said that I was blind and that it was useless to want such a big space. Am I right, Madam Fu?”
“Hiss…” Raymond gasped and said in disbelief,” They want you to live in the stairwell?! “
Feng Qing’s words were completely beyond his understanding. The education he had received since he was young made him especially value family. He couldn’t imagine that the Feng couple would let their daughter live in the stairwell.
Seeing that Raymond’s expression was not right, Fu Anlan hurriedly came out to smooth things over. “Haha, Duke, Qingqing was joking with you. She has been angry with us for the past few days, so she deliberately took the opportunity while you were here to criticize us.”
Feng Yuanzhou chimed in, “That’s right, Duke. Think about it, we’re Qingqing’s biological parents. How can we treat her like that? Anlan said those in the spur of the moment when she was arguing with Qingqing.”
Raymond raised his eyebrows. “So where the hell is her room?”
“Lord Duke, to be honest, Qingqing grew up in the countryside and is used to being wild. She feels suffocated living in the villa, so she’s living alone outside. In all honesty, we miss her every day. Moreover, we’ve never treated her badly,” Fu Anlan said with a smile.
Raymond seemed to see the problem when he saw the couple sing the same tune. It made them look guilty when they emphasized so much.
“Lord Duke, please believe us. How can there be parents who don’t love their children? Everything we say is true.” Seeing Raymond’s look of disbelief, Fu Anlan emphasized.
Just as she finished speaking, Feng Qing chuckled. However, her laughter was especially desolate and disappointed. After laughing for a while, she retracted her smile and looked at Raymond. “Duke, did you come to the Feng family to propose to me?”
“Dear Miss Feng Qing, you should have seen my sincerity.” Raymond pointed at the cash on the ground.
Feng Qing asked curiously, “If I remember correctly, this should be the second time we’ve met. How did you fall for me?”
At the mention of this, Raymond said as if he knew everything, “Miss Feng Qing, I fell in love with you at first sight. Do you remember the horse ranch in the eastern suburbs? That was the first time I saw you. I was at the periphery of the horse ranch, so you didn’t know that I was there. The second time was at…”
Before he could finish speaking, Fu Anlan couldn’t help but interrupt. “Qingqing, do you know how much this is? It’s a total of one billion yuan. It’s the betrothal gift the Duke gave the Feng family. The sun and moon can judge his feelings for you. If there’s anything you want to say, you can wait till after the two of you register your marriage. This way, the both of you can have more common topics and improve your relationship. We’ve even prepared the household register for you. In the future, you’ll be the Duchess. I can rest in peace when I die.”
Looking at the household register that was handed over, Feng Qing’s lips curled up. “Madam Fu, I’m afraid you’ll be disappointed. I’m already married. According to the laws of Xia country, I’m already married and can’t marry anyone else. Otherwise, it’s against the law.”
Bang!
Feng Qing’s light words were like a meteorite hitting their brains, making everyone dizzy, especially Raymond. He was petrified on the spot, and he felt like the air had frozen.
“Qing, Qingqing, what did you say? Say that again!” Fu Anlan was in disbelief, and her face turned green..
