Chapter 114: Chapter 114: Public Display of Affection

"Sh-She’s your kin..." Hearing Ye Feng’s words, Sun Lei’s eyes nearly popped out of his head. In the next instant, his face turned deathly pale.

He finally understood. Even though Ye Feng and Wang Luyao were engaged, he and Xiao Yufei were still connected by lingering threads. At the end of the day, Xiao Yufei was still his woman.

The thought that Sun Shikang had actually clamored about wanting to sleep with Xiao Yufei—wanting to sleep with Ye Feng’s woman—made Sun Lei’s heart seize with terror. This feud with Ye Feng was now irreconcilable!

He was finally afraid. He looked at Ye Feng, forcing a smile as he cried out, "Mr. Ye, I was wrong. I shouldn’t have provoked the Xiao family. I’ll immediately have all of the Xiao family’s assets returned. At the same time, I’m willing to offer one hundred million to make up for our mistake."

Ye Feng looked at Sun Lei, shook his head, and sighed. "If you had only targeted me, I honestly wouldn’t have minded. But you shouldn’t have touched my kin. You touched my reverse scale. You think you can just use money to smooth this over? Is that even possible?"

After speaking, he looked at Sun Lei and said calmly, "By the way, what was that you said earlier? That you were going to execute my nine generations? Well, let me tell you now—annihilating a family is something I can do, too!"

As his voice fell, a terrifying killing intent instantly filled the air. The temperature in the entire room seemed to drop several degrees. Everyone felt as if ice-cold water had been poured over their heads, and the hair on their bodies stood on end.

Seeing the undisguised killing intent in Ye Feng’s eyes, Sun Lei felt his bones turn to jelly. His legs gave out, and with a THUD, he knelt before Ye Feng, crying out in a shrill voice:

"Mr. Ye, please spare my family! I’m willing to give up half of the Sun family’s assets—no, no, I’m willing to donate all of the Sun family’s assets to the Xiao family! I only beg you to spare my family, please spare them, WAHHH..."

As Sun Lei spoke, he was so terrified that he broke down and began to sob uncontrollably.

But as Ye Feng looked at him, the killing intent in his eyes only grew stronger.

Sun Lei then turned his head and began kowtowing to Xiao Yufei, wailing with tears streaming down his face:

"President Xiao, we were wrong! We are willing to unconditionally donate all of the Sun family’s assets to the Xiao family. We just hope you’ll ask Mr. Ye to be merciful and spare our family’s lives!"

Xiao Yufei was, after all, kind-hearted. She looked at Ye Feng, shook her head, and said:

"Ye Feng, it’s better to resolve a grudge than to create one. Spare their family."

Only then did Ye Feng speak. "Yufei is kind and is willing to spare you, so I will give the Sun family a chance to live. But you... you failed to raise your son properly, you are arrogant and domineering, and you’ve bullied others far too much. You cannot live!

Go back and transfer the Sun family’s assets to the Xiao family. This is the price you must pay for bullying them. After it is done, present me with your head. Only then can the rest of your Sun family leave safely. Otherwise, it’s annihilation!"

Sun Lei felt as if he’d been struck by lightning and nearly fainted from fear. But he still had to force himself to stay conscious, kowtow in thanks to Ye Feng, and then stumble away.

He had to hurry back and transfer the Sun family’s assets to the Xiao family as quickly as possible. If he was too slow and made Ye Feng change his mind, the Sun family could just wait to be wiped out.

Outside the Xiao family home, Sun Lei broke down in loud sobs. "My son, you were so stupid! There are so many good women in this world, why did you have to provoke Xiao Yufei? Why did you have to provoke Ye Feng? Do you regret it now? Well, your dad regrets it! I regret it so much! WAHHH..."

But no one answered him, only the whistling of the wind.

...

「At the Xiao family home.」

Xiao Yufei looked at Ye Feng and said gratefully, "Ye Feng, thank you for this!"

Ye Feng looked at Xiao Yufei and casually asked, "How will you thank me?"

Xiao Yufei heard this phrase, one that Ye Feng used to tease her with, a phrase laden with meaning. She froze on the spot, and in the next moment, her pretty face turned red as a beet.

Ye Feng also realized his mistake in an instant. ’Their relationship isn’t the same as it used to be.’ He gave an awkward laugh and quickly changed the subject:

"Yufei, from now on, no matter what happens, you have to call me. Don’t just suffer in silence like this again, you hear?"

Hearing Ye Feng’s heartwarming words, a happy smile immediately appeared on Xiao Yufei’s face, and she nodded quickly.

But Ye Feng’s next sentence instantly brought her back to reality.

He was heard saying seriously, "You are my little sister, after all!"

A bitter laugh echoed in Xiao Yufei’s heart. ’That’s right. From today on, I can only be his little sister.’

Nearby, Xiao Wenyuan looked at Ye Feng and exclaimed anxiously, "Ye Feng, you two can’t do this! I’m telling you, just let Yufei and that other girl both be with you! I don’t mind..."

Ye Feng staggered a few steps, nearly falling to the floor.

Xiao Yufei, standing nearby, also blushed bright red from embarrassment. She shot Xiao Wenyuan a glare and said, "Grandpa, you might not mind, but I do!"

Ye Feng looked at Xiao Wenyuan with a wry smile. "Old Master, even if Yufei and I can’t be husband and wife, I will still treat her as a sister. You are all my kin. If the Xiao family is in trouble, I, Ye Feng, will not shirk my duty. Don’t worry!"

Seeing that Ye Feng and Xiao Yufei truly had no intention of being together, Xiao Wenyuan sighed and said:

"It seems my granddaughter just isn’t fated for such a blessing."

After speaking, he turned and went back to his room. A short time later, he came out with a box and handed it to Ye Feng:

"Ye Feng, this is the token your master left for your engagement back then. I’m returning it to you now."

Ye Feng excitedly took the box and quickly opened it.

Inside the box was a Jade Pendant, crystal clear and exquisitely crafted.

Ye Feng reached out and grasped the Jade Pendant, his heart pounding with excitement. ’I’ve finally gotten one of the jade pendants! I’m one step closer to finding a clue about my parents!’

He murmured in his heart, ’Mom, Dad, just you wait. Your son will find you as soon as possible.’

Just then, Lan Yazhi came over and took Ye Feng’s hand. Before she could even speak, her eyes had already turned red.

"Child, I truly thought of you as my son-in-law. But look at things now..."

Seeing Lan Yazhi’s mournful, tearful expression, Ye Feng’s heart softened. He quickly said with a smile:

"From now on, I can be your son! Your godson."

Lan Yazhi’s eyes lit up at once. She exclaimed excitedly, "Good child! Then from now on, I’m your godmother!"

She then turned to look at Xiao Yufei. "From now on, you two are brother and sister. Truly brother and sister, do you hear?"

Xiao Yufei nodded with a smile. ’Perhaps this was how it was meant to end.’

Ye Feng bid his farewells and left, with Xiao Yufei seeing him out.

Ye Feng looked at Xiao Yufei and asked, "Yufei, is there any news about your sweetheart?"

Xiao Yufei shook her head with a bitter smile, a hint of melancholy in her eyes.

Ye Feng looked at Xiao Yufei. "Yufei, what clues do you have about your sweetheart? Tell me, maybe I can help you!"

Xiao Yufei shook her head and said, "Forget it. Let’s leave it to fate."

Ye Feng looked at Xiao Yufei with an encouraging smile. "Yufei, I believe you will definitely find your sweetheart and make your dream come true!"

"Thank you for the kind words," Xiao Yufei said, smiling at Ye Feng.

The two of them chatted, but they could both clearly feel that the playful teasing and easy-going manner they once shared was gone. All they felt was a cold sense of distance.

Just as they reached the entrance, Wang Luyao came up to them, took Ye Feng’s hand, and called out:

"Darling, is everything taken care of?"

Ye Feng nodded with a smile.

Wang Luyao stood on her tiptoes, gave Ye Feng a kiss on his cheek, and said with a smile:

"My husband is so capable."

Then, she leaned close to Ye Feng’s ear, blew a puff of hot air, and giggled, "Darling, let’s go home. I’m... I’m in the mood again!"
