In the morning, sunlight pierces through the curtains and streams into the room.
On the spacious bed, Liu Qingrou curls up like a kitten in Xiao Feng's arms, revealing a smooth, fair arm, looking tempting enough to commit a crime.
Xiao Feng smiles as he strokes Liu Qingrou's hair, noticing that she is blinking, clearly awake but pretending to be asleep.
Realizing this, Xiao Feng becomes playful, his smile turning mischievous, and his hands start to become restless.
Liu Qingrou shudders, unable to pretend to be asleep any longer, blushing as she pleads, "No more, it was so many times last night…"
Her voice becomes barely audible towards the end.
But Xiao Feng doesn't stop, laughing, "Just one more time, just once."
"You've said that several times already!" Liu Qingrou warns, but her voice sounds more like she's pouting, the blush on her face all the more eye-catching.
Just as Liu Qingrou's eyes begin to glaze over, Xiao Feng's phone on the bedside table rings.
"Damn!" Xiao Feng curses, thinking if it's not something serious, the caller should brace for his wrath.
After answering, a pleasant female voice comes through the receiver: "Mr. Xiao, are you up? Someone will pick you up soon."
Though the voice is pleasant, the tone is cold.
"Who are you?" Xiao Feng frowns and asks.
The caller is Han Wangfu's daughter, Han Lengyue.
At this moment, she is standing before the floor-to-ceiling windows, watching the sunrise with a serene expression.
"When you arrive, you'll know who I am," Han Lengyue laughs softly.
"What if I don't go?" Xiao Feng retorts, feeling annoyed at being led by the nose.
Liu Qingrou notices Xiao Feng's change in tone, worry creeping into her heart as she becomes curious about who it could be on the phone.
"You will come," Han Lengyue says confidently, "There's no one you dare not meet, nor any place you dare not go."
After a pause, Han Lengyue continues, "Am I right, Mr. Xiao?"
"Is this a provocation?" Xiao Feng suddenly laughs, "You are a smart woman, and I happen to enjoy dealing with smart people."
With that, he hangs up the phone.
Han Lengyue smiles, this outcome fully within her expectations; however, this doesn't mean she thinks she can always lead Xiao Feng by the nose.
This is why Xiao Feng said she is smart; at the very least, Han Lengyue has a clear understanding of her own abilities.
Before long, the butler knocks and enters the room: "Miss, breakfast is ready."
Han Lengyue does not turn around, asking while facing away from the butler, "Breakfast is ready, what about the arena?"
The butler replies seriously, "Rest assured, Miss; everything is in place, and you know Black Tiger's strength better than I do."
Speaking of which, the butler can't help but admire his Miss. In five years, she transformed a failing boxing ring into Jiangcheng's top arena, expanding from the size of a basement to an underground parking lot. Such ability fills him with pride by association.
As for Black Tiger, he is the one who ended Liao Qianying subordinate's three-year championship streak, surpassing that opponent in strength, and is a master cultivated by Han Lengyue herself.
Han Lengyue nods, contemplating: Are you Yan Huang? The answer is about to be revealed.
...
"Ah Feng, you don't even know who it is, and the other party is most likely hostile towards you…" Liu Qingrou sighs, "I know you won't listen to my advice, but if you must go, then take me with you."
Xiao Feng smiles warmly, tucking a strand of hair behind Liu Qingrou's ear, speaking casually, "Precisely because I don't know who it is, I have even greater reason to go."
Seeing Liu Qingrou remain unmoved, Xiao Feng adds, "Besides, think about it; if they really wanted to harm me, wouldn't it be easier to just send someone over?"
Liu Qingrou's expression changes; Xiao Feng's words do bear some truth.
It's just like war; the enemy won't notify you in advance when they're going to attack.
In other words, if their goal was to target Xiao Feng, there would be no need for this phone call.
Of course, it's all speculation. No matter how many reasons there might be to prove Xiao Feng will be safe this time, Liu Qingrou can't help but worry.
"Beep!"
The sound of a car horn reaches them, and Xiao Feng knows his ride has arrived. He pats Liu Qingrou on the shoulder, smiling, "Wait for me to come back."
Liu Qingrou remains silent, but as Xiao Feng reaches for the doorknob, she can no longer contain herself. She rushes over, hugging Xiao Feng's waist tightly, her pretty face pressed against his broad back.
"Ah Feng, you must come back safely." Liu Qingrou says nervously.
Xiao Feng turns and plants a deep kiss on her forehead: "Don't worry, I won't keep you waiting long."
...
Sitting in the speeding luxury car, Xiao Feng appears at ease, touching this and examining that, even inquiring about the car's price, completely ignoring the people in the car.
"How much is this car?" Xiao Feng asks the driver next to him.
The driver replies blankly, "A hundred and twenty thousand landed."
The voice is laced with disdain, as if thinking Xiao Feng could never afford such a luxury car in his lifetime.
"Too expensive." Xiao Feng smacks his lips, exclaiming after a moment before continuing to ask, "How much do you make a month?"
The driver can't help but glance sideways, wondering if this guy intends to steal his job.
After some thought, he deliberately lowers the amount: "Only about two or three thousand."
"Two or three thousand..." Xiao Feng nods, "Let me calculate for you. Based on a 3000 monthly salary, without spending a penny, it would take you 400 months to buy such a car."
"400 months, that's 12,000 days, 33 years and three months, am I right?"
The driver is bewildered. When did I ever say I wanted to buy such a luxury car?
Yet Xiao Feng keeps on, calculating so meticulously that it's accurate to the hours, leaving the driver feeling tortured, wishing to take him down together.
"Something's wrong with this guy?" The butler, his teeth aching a bit, listens through the earpiece where Xiao Feng's voice is clear.
Seeing the butler's constipated expression, Han Lengyue shakes her head with a laugh: "Uncle Liu, don't bother. Everything you're hearing now is what he's deliberately letting you hear."
Having said this, Han Lengyue's enchanting eyes shine, acknowledging that the bug installed in the car couldn't escape Xiao Feng's notice, which makes her all the more convinced that Xiao Feng could indeed be Yan Huang.
But what catches Han Lengyue off guard is that through the bug, Xiao Feng's playful voice soon follows, "The woman who called me earlier, is she your boss? Only pays you this much a month, she's really stingy."
The driver can't be bothered to respond to Xiao Feng anymore.
Yet Xiao Feng continues, "Uh... I have a question. Is your boss beautiful? Is she... well-endowed?"
Han Lengyue bites her lips in anger, almost drawing blood, "Uncle Liu, turn off the bug!"
All in all, disgusting her seems to have been his ultimate aim!
