In the café of the Holiday Hotel, a young man stood coldly watching Li Feng and Xu Qing leave. He turned to the bodyguard beside him. “Go and find out exactly what Li Feng was doing in the Holiday Hotel.”
“Yes, young master.”
A quarter of an hour later, the bodyguard returned with Wang Mengying.
“Young master, Li Feng and Xu Qing were here for a class reunion. This is Wang Mengying, the organiser of Xu Qing’s reunion.” The bodyguard explained.
“Mm.” The young man nodded and looked at Wang Mengying. “Tell me everything about Li Feng and Xu Qing attending your reunion.”
“I…” Wang Mengying stared at the young man, hesitating. He did not know who this person was. After Li Feng and Xu Qing left, his classmates had ignored him and walked out, leaving him alone in the private room. Then this bodyguard had appeared and dragged him here without permission. He still had not processed it.
“If you want to live, speak.” The young man fixed him with an icy stare, killing intent flashing in his eyes.
Wang Mengying shivered under the chilling pressure. He felt as if one word from this man could end his life.
Under that murderous gaze, Wang Mengying slowly recounted what happened in the room. When he reached the part where Li Feng humiliated him over Xu Qing, he snorted. “I never expected Li Feng to have Hu Yuanyuan and still fool around with her assistant. He really is the playboy from the rumours.”
The young man glanced at him. “Do you want Xu Qing or not?”
Wang Mengying shook his head vigorously. Li Feng was terrifying. Even Qu Gang of the four great families grovelled before him like a servant. How could he dare compete for a woman? That would be suicide.
“What? You no longer want her? You are just going to watch Li Feng play with the woman you like?” The young man said in a low voice.
“I…”
“Think about it. Right now, Li Feng might be enjoying himself with Xu Qing. That is your woman. Are you really willing to let it go?” The young man pressed.
At those words, fury twisted Wang Mengying’s face. Imagining the stunning Xu Qing beneath Li Feng ignited a raging fire in his chest.
“Wang Mengying, do you want revenge on Li Feng?” The young man was pleased with the reaction.
“Revenge on Li Feng?” Wang Mengying jolted, recalling Li Feng’s display in the room. He shook his head at once.
“Do not worry. If you want revenge, I will help you. I guarantee you will get Xu Qing.” The young man said.
Wang Mengying shook his head again. He did not believe such good fortune existed.
The young man’s gaze turned frigid, killing intent pressing down on Wang Mengying. “Wang Mengying, you have no choice here. If you want to live, do exactly as I say. I might even let you have Xu Qing. Otherwise, I will have you killed right now.”
Terrified, Wang Mengying nodded.
The young man smiled, leaned down, and whispered a few sentences.
Wang Mengying’s eyes lit up.
…
“Li Feng, I caused you so much trouble today.” Back in the car after leaving the Holiday Hotel, Xu Qing looked at him awkwardly. She had only wanted him to act as a shield against Wang Mengying’s pursuit, but she never expected things to escalate. Without Li Feng, she might not have escaped the hotel.
Li Feng gazed at her with a half-smile. “Xu Qing, I helped you out of a huge mess today. How are you going to thank me?” His eyes roamed over her chest and thighs.
“I…” Xu Qing’s cheeks flushed. She knew exactly what that mischievous look meant.
“Xu Qing…” Li Feng looked at her tenderly and reached out, placing a hand on her thigh. Through the sheer black crystal stockings, her skin felt even smoother and more delicate.
“Li Feng, I still have to drive.”
Xu Qing shifted her leg slightly and murmured.
Seeing no real resistance, Li Feng grew bolder, caressing her gently. He had desired Xu Qing for a long time. These past few days of flirting had all been to deepen their connection.
“You still have not told me how you will thank me.” Li Feng’s voice was magnetic. As he spoke, he slipped an arm around her slender waist. Xu Qing went limp, her face glowing redder, her eyes growing hazy. She pouted. “Li Feng, what are you trying to do?”
“Xu Qing, I like you.” Li Feng lowered his head and kissed her flushed lips.
“Mmm…” Xu Qing stared at him in disbelief, but soon melted into the passionate kiss.
Unlike with Hu Yuanyuan, Li Feng had no reservations about Xu Qing. Hu Yuanyuan would be the principal wife of his harem and needed to cultivate the Snow Jade Art, so he had held back from the final step. With Xu Qing, he had no such concerns. Once she became his woman, he could still have her cultivate later. The effect might be slightly weaker, but what did it matter? He could not wait for every woman to finish cultivating before taking her.
These past few days, he had been holding himself back. He had debated whether to make a move on Xu Qing or Liu Ruyan first. Now that Xu Qing had delivered herself, how could he be polite?
Outside, the sun shone warmly. Inside the car, spring filled the air.
“Li Feng, no, not here…” Just as Li Feng was about to claim her fully, Xu Qing snapped awake and grabbed his wandering hand.
“Xu Qing, I really like you.” Li Feng whispered sweet words, clearly unwilling to miss this golden opportunity.
“Li Feng, I like you too, but I do not want my first time in a car. Please.” Xu Qing looked at him pleadingly. She held no aversion to Li Feng. In another place, she might truly give herself to him. But in the car, she felt it would leave her with regrets.
“Fine, all right…” Seeing her pleading eyes, Li Feng softened. He could force her if he wanted; she could not resist. But she would be his woman eventually. He could grant this small request.
“Baby, do not make me wait too long.” Li Feng groped her once more before sitting up.
Xu Qing blushed deeply, lowered her head, and gave a soft hum. She straightened her clothes.
Li Feng watched appreciatively. He had not realised before, but Xu Qing’s figure actually surpassed Hu Yuanyuan’s.
She could feel his burning gaze, making her even shyer. Thankfully, they had already been intimate; otherwise, she could not have borne it.
After more sweet nothings in the car, they finally drove off.
The car stopped not far from Fengyuan Group. Xu Qing glanced at Li Feng. She dared not drive right up to the company; the gossip would be endless if anyone saw.
“Li Feng…” Looking at him, she did not know what to say.
“I should get out too. But before I go…” Li Feng smiled, grabbed her hand, pulled her close, and kissed her deeply.
They kissed passionately until Xu Qing was breathless. Only then did he release her.
“Xu Qing, do not forget what you said.” Li Feng gave her chest one last squeeze before opening the door and stepping out.
Xu Qing collapsed back into the seat, panting, her face scarlet.
All this time, she had avoided Li Feng. But now she knew she could no longer escape. She had fallen.
Falling for her boss, a married man, was something Xu Qing never imagined. In the past, she would have scorned such women as shameless. Yet now it was her turn.
If Li Feng had insisted earlier, she might have given herself completely. Even though he had agreed to her request, she knew that day would not be far off.
She sat in silence for a long time, calming her emotions, before starting the car and heading to the company. Her heart was uneasy, unsure how to face Hu Yuanyuan.
Unlike Xu Qing’s complicated thoughts, Li Feng felt refreshed. Though he had not fully claimed her, he knew it was only a matter of time.
Unknowingly, he arrived at the entrance of Wenjun Pavilion Pharmacy. A thought struck him, and he walked in.
“Old Tu?” Li Feng spotted the old man behind the counter immediately.
“My young friend.” Old Tu’s eyes flashed as he saw Li Feng. He chuckled. “It seems you have gained much lately.”
“Thanks to your blessing.” Li Feng smiled faintly. “Old Tu, do you have any precious herbs right now?”
“Not at the moment, but…”
Old Tu produced an invitation like a magician. “In one week, our Wenjun Pavilion is holding an auction. You might find what you need there.”
“I look forward to it.” Li Feng’s heart stirred. This auction was probably the same one Zhong Shuhui had mentioned. He had not expected Old Tu to be so generous with an invitation.
After Li Feng left, a middle-aged man emerged from the back. “Old Tu is indeed Old Tu. Your eye for people is unmatched. Li Feng has changed so much. He will surely become a dragon in the future.”
“Whether he becomes a dragon remains to be seen. It depends on whether he can survive the current crisis. If he does, we can consider the plan.” A sharp glint passed through Old Tu’s eyes.
“You are not going to help him?” The middle-aged man asked curiously.
“Help?” Old Tu shook his head with a smile, profound meaning in his gaze.
