Chapter 140 - Seductive Fengling
After Feng Yuan ran out of "Summer Time" in a panic and went straight for his car.
He opened the car door and started the car in a panic under Xu Gui's surprised gaze. However, he failed to start the car four times in a row.
Xu Gui finally could not take it anymore, "Yuan, what are you doing? Is there a dog chasing you?"
"It's scarier than being chased by a dog! Go, go, go!"
Xu Gui was a little frightened when he said three "go" in a hurry. He even looked so flustered. He quickly put his phone back into his pocket. "Get out of the car and change seats. I'll drive!"
Feng Yuan didn't answer him, perhaps because he was too panicked and was in no mood to care or hear him.
Xu Gui patted him, "Yuan, let's change seats. I'll drive! It's not safe for you to drive like this!"
"Oh, oh."
They changed seats and the car drove away.
After they got to a place that Xu Gui thought was safe, which was a block with relatively high human traffic. He found a parking spot and stopped.
Only then did he realize that there was something wrong with Feng Yuan.
It seemed like he was flustered, but not entirely. It seemed like he was scared silly because his lips looked like they were about to curl upwards. He looked a little stupid.
Anyway, something was very wrong.
"Yuan, we're safe here now. Tell me, what exactly happened just now?"
Then, Xu Gui saw Feng Yuan turning his head stiffly to him. He really turned his head very stiffly and that frightened Xu Gui.
"Yuan, Yuan, are you possessed?"
"I think so."
"…" Xu Gui shuddered.
Why did he have to speak with a stiff face? It did seem like it! Did he hear what he asked? It really seemed like it!
It was scary!
"Y-you have to talk properly. It's broad daylight. Don't make it so eerie." Xu Gui was actually exaggerating. It was just that Feng Yuan was really very strange now. Xu Gui had never seen him so flustered in all his years of knowing him. He was just a little agitated for a moment.
"Gui, what should I do?"
Xu Gui felt goosebumps all over his body.
"Please call me by my full name as usual. Thank you!"
"But Yuan, what… happened to you? You were actually forced to this extent. By the way, didn't you go to deliver the cake to the two young ladies of the Yan Family? Why… Could it be that Second Miss Yan is tired of arguing with you and can't help but give you a fatal blow?"
Hearing the words "Yan Jinyun", Feng Yuan trembled violently.
It was Xu Gui's turn to be shocked, "Am I right?"
"It's more serious than giving me a fatal blow!"
"More serious than giving you the fatal blow? She confessed to you?" Xu Gui really said it casually, but he saw Feng Yuan's expression change drastically.
Xu Gui instantly knew that he had guessed correctly, "Damn! It's true!" He had indeed seen correctly that day. There was really something wrong with Yan Jinyun's glance at him!
"What did Second Miss Yan say?"
"S-she… just say that she likes me."
"Then? Then how did you reply to her?" Although he had already guessed it, after confirming that Yan Jinyun really had feelings for Feng Yuan, he was still extremely excited.
The Second Missy of the Yan Family, the top socialite in North City, the cold goddess, the belle of Boyu High School, the person who could steadily rank in the top three in every test in Boyu High School, a school full of favored children.
She seemed to have a good temper and was easy to get along with, but she was, in fact, not easy to get close to.
To describe it in eight words, it was: A Flower At The Top Of A Mountain!
The key was that she had taken over the Yan Corporation, which was worth tens of billions, at the age of 18 and became the head of the number one family in North City.
Such a person actually took a fancy to Yuan. What earth-shattering good did Yuan do in his previous life!
"T-then, I ran away."
"What?!"
"I ran away. I'll return everything to her." Feng Yuan suddenly felt ashamed. He had never been so embarrassed in his life. That was Yan Jinyun, who had always been at odds with him. When had he ever weakened his aura in front of her?
"Yuan, are you stupid? That's the top socialite in North City, the head of the Yan Family in North City! In such a short period of time since she took over the Yan Corporation, the Yan Corporation has been well managed by her. Even my parents kept praising her when they were eating. They even said that the Yan Corporation would definitely flourish in her hands! She has both looks and figure, so what's wrong with that? You actually ran away just like that. Where are your bearings?"
"What top socialite? She's just a black-hearted person who likes to put on an act."
"Yuan, ask yourself honestly. Is that really what you think?"
"The public's eyes are clear. Other than you, I've never seen anyone say that about her. Besides, do you think that the person whom Eldest Miss Yan is biased towards is really as bad as you say? That day at the underground racing arena, you saw Eldest Miss Yan's ability with your own eyes. Do you think Eldest Miss Yan looks like someone without any judgment?"
"Putting everything else aside, just take Second Miss Yan for example. She took over the Yan Corporation at 18 years old and even completely controlled the Yan Corporation in such a short time. She made all the businesses in the Yan Corporation proceed in an orderly manner. If it were you and me, we might not be able to do better than her."
"Yuan, just admit it. Second Miss Yan is really outstanding."
Feng Yuan was crushed.
Yes, she was very outstanding.
Even his parents had been praising Yan Jinyun to him recently. It was fine with his mother. She was usually very talkative, but his father…
He didn't look like someone who would always praise the younger generation, but he would hear him praise Yan Jinyun every day.
Wasn't that proof that Yan Jinyun was outstanding?
He could not compare to her excellence.
Xu Gui had long seen through Feng Yuan's thoughts, but he didn't expose him. After all, he felt that it was impossible between Feng Yuan and Yan Jinyun in the past.
Seeing that Feng Yuan had unconsciously revealed such a dejected look, Xu Gui sighed softly and said, "Yuan, don't think too much about it for the time being. Just tell me, do you hate her?"
Feng Yuan shook his head decisively.
Although he wanted to diss her the moment they met, he really didn't hate Yan Jinyun.
If he really hated someone, he wouldn't even bother to speak to her. He wouldn't go up to her and diss her the moment they met. He would even choose a birthday present for her every year. He would hate to see her sad and bullied.
"Then, do you like her?"
"I don't know." After saying that, Feng Yuan himself was stunned.
It wasn't that "I don't like her", but "I don't know".
This…
"Yuan, you don't hate her but you don't know if you like her or not. Since she likes you, why don't you consider it? Anyway, you're single now and she's single too. I think someone like Second Miss Yan probably won't easily like someone. If she's rejected, I don't know how sad she will be."
After saying that, Xu Gui sighed.
Brother, this is all I can help you with. Everything else will depend on your destiny.
This time, he finally spoke to Yuan to make up for the fact that he caused Yuan to have such an indescribable girlfriend because he couldn't stand Xu Xiaoxiao's pestering.
Indeed, after hearing Xu Gui's words, Feng Yuan fell silent.
He knew Yan Jinyun the best. He could tell if she was happy or angry with just one look from her. Of course, he knew very well when Yan Jinyun was the most serious.
She was extremely serious when she said that she liked him earlier.
She wasn't joking.
She really liked him!
Yan Jinyun was such a proud person. She definitely wouldn't like anyone easily. Once she liked someone, perhaps… it would be forever.
But why did it have to be him?
What did he have that she liked?
It wasn't that he looked down on himself. He couldn't even stay by her side and protect her when he met Luo Yilin that day.
As Feng Yuan was deep in thought, Xu Gui's phone vibrated. It was a message.
Xu Gui's lips twitched when he took it out and read the message.
It was a message from Yan Jinyun. She actually wanted him to leave quickly and not be a third wheel for them!
A third wheel?
He had put in so much effort to put in a good word for them!
She actually despised him so much!
Of course, Xu Gui was only complaining in his heart. He still didn't dare to provoke Yan Jinyun.
It was not that he was afraid, but…
Uh, he was the greatest contributor to Xu Xiaoxiao and Yuan being together. Yan Jinyun must have had feelings for Feng Yuan for a long time. Perhaps, he had already offended her!
He quickly replied: "Alright, I'll leave now."
"Yuan, I suddenly have something urgent to attend to. I have to leave first. Don't think too much. Calm down first before driving away."
Feng Yuan was feeling complicated, so he didn't think too much about it and nodded, "Alright."
Xu Gui was initially a little worried about leaving Feng Yuan alone, who was in a daze. However, when he thought about Yan Jinyun, he suddenly wasn't so worried anymore.
Ten minutes after he left, Feng Yuan's phone rang. At that moment, he was deep in thought and it shocked him.
He almost dropped her phone when he saw the caller ID.
He had never felt the phone as hot as he did now.
It rang a few times before he picked it up. He quickly put it on speaker and then stretched his hand far away. It was as if it wasn't a phone but Yan Jinyun whom he didn't dare to look at or approach.
"Feng Yuan."
"…Yes, I'm here." He was a little afraid.
Feng Yuan also realized that he was a little afraid. He cleared his throat and tried to make himself as imposing as possible, "W-What's the matter?"
However, the truth was that he was still very afraid.
"I just met with Sister. Master Nine had picked her up and the driver who sent me here has already returned to the Yan Family. Come and pick me up."
"…"
"Why? Is it inconvenient?"
"…No, no. I'll do it now."
After saying this, Feng Yuan's expression was very complicated.
Why did he agree?
Shouldn't he be used to saying things like "Can't you get a taxi or ask the driver to return to pick you up? It's not like I owe you anything "?
"Alright, I'll wait for you."
I'll wait for you…
Feng Yuan fell silent again.
He was silent for two minutes before he forced himself to calm down and get into the driver's seat. He then drove towards "Summer Time".
***
At the same time, in a high-end restaurant.
In the private room.
Seeing the two people walking in, Min Ting stood up. "Second Brother."
Then, he looked at Yan Jinyu, "Eldest Miss Yan, we meet again."
Seeing Yin Jiujin frown, Min Ting was about to explain why there were others around when he heard a scream, "What are you doing?! Do you want to burn me to death!"
There were three people in the private room. Other than Min Ting, there were two other girls.
It was one of the girls who screamed.
She was screaming because the other girl… perhaps they should call her a woman instead.
The girl was almost burnt by the cigarette butt that the woman threw out.
The woman was wearing a red cheongsam that outlined her perfect figure. Her chestnut-colored hair was slightly curled up to her back, and she had thick makeup on her face. Her lipstick was bright red, but the makeup was not the kind of richness that was vulgar, but enchanting.
She had a very seductive face.
She sat at the dining table with her legs crossed. The fingernails on her slender fingers were dyed in a very seductive color. She held a lit cigarette between her fingers and blew out a smoke roll with practiced ease.
She looked extremely seductive.
Until the door of the private room was pushed open and someone walked in.
Her first reaction was to throw the cigarette away. She didn't care if it landed on someone.
She sighed inwardly. Damn it. Beauty Yu saw me smoking!
Beauty Yu was very difficult to deal with. If Beauty Yu went back to complain, Min Rufeng that hypocrite would make her unable to get out of bed!
However, even though she was nervous, not everyone could bully the second-ranked killer on the Assassin Ranking, especially when the other party was the daughter of a wealthy family who clearly did not have any ability and always acted high and mighty and looked down on others.
She looked over with her seductive eyes. "Why are you so agitated? You didn't get burned, right? Also, don't speak so loudly to me. I, Xi Fengling, am not a good-tempered person. If you make me unhappy, I'll slap you twice. I'm afraid your little face won't be able to take it."
"You. How dare you!" Qin Bailu's expression was as ugly as it could be when she was disrespected in front of the person she loved.
Xi Fengling smiled charmingly. "Do you want to try?"
Qin Bailu instinctively trembled.
For some reason, she felt a chill down her spine when she saw Xi Fengling's smile.
"Don't speak if you don't want to try."
"…You're the one who almost scalded me. Can't you let me complain?" As she spoke, she was about to cry.
Xi Fengling's smile became even more charming. "I'll advise you not to cry. I hate it when people cry. If you want to leave this room dead, just cry."
Qin Bailu's tears froze.
She had heard of Xi Fengling.
A woman who was actually doing so well that no one dared to provoke her. Even very few people in the capital dared to bully the Second Young Master of the Min Family because he had her backing.
Such a person was a true ruthless character!
She did not dare to provoke her!
Just she waits! One day, she would return all the humiliation she had suffered today!
Seeing that she had finally settled down, Xi Fengling leaned back in her chair and looked seductively at the two people who had entered the private room. She blinked at Yan Jinyu, and then when she saw the smile on Yan Jinyu's lips, Xi Fengling's body froze.
Oh no! Beauty Yu didn't seem to intend to pretend that she didn't see her smoking!
How would she dare to look again? Beauty Yu's angry look was frightening.
She pretended to look away naturally and looked at Yin Jiujin with a charming smile. "You must be the famous Master Nine, right? Seeing is really better than hearing. You're indeed handsome and noble-looking."
Qin Bailu looked at her in surprise.
How dare Xi Fengling?! That was Master Nine! How dare she use such a teasing tone to speak to Master Nine!
Min Ting's expression froze too.
He was afraid that he would be implicated if Xi Fengling angered Yin Jiujin.
After all, Xi Fengling only appeared here because of him.
