Chapter 143: Is She a Princess or the Queen Mother That I Can’t Touch?

Chapter 143: Chapter 143: Is She a Princess or the Queen Mother That I Can’t Touch?

Ye Feng quickly explained how Wang Luyao had deceived him, then looked at Xiao Yufei and said:

"But at the end of the day, she gave me everything. If I just abandoned her like this, I’d be a real scumbag. Don’t worry, though. They say there are three thousand beauties in this world, but I only have eyes for the two of you!"

Xiao Yufei looked at Ye Feng with an unreadable smile and asked,

"What about Nangong Xue?"

Ye Feng sighed again. "Nangong Xue... she also has a marriage agreement with me."

He then looked at Xiao Yufei and said awkwardly,

"Um, Yufei... at the end of the day, Xue’Er also gave me everything. If I abandoned her, I’d be a real scumbag. But don’t worry! They say there are three thousand beauties in this world, but I only have eyes for the *three* of you!"

Xiao Yufei didn’t know whether to laugh or cry at Ye Feng’s scoundrel logic. "So next it’ll be ’I only have eyes for four of you,’ then five, then six?"

Ye Feng: "..."

Just then, Ye Feng’s phone rang urgently.

Ye Feng picked up the phone and saw it was his Sixth Master, Liu Hanyan.

He quickly got up and walked out onto the balcony. As soon as he answered, Liu Hanyan’s cheerful voice came through:

"Xiaofeng, you’ve slept with Xiao Yufei by now, haven’t you?"

Ye Feng’s hand trembled, and he nearly dropped his phone. He frantically looked around, but there was no sign of his Sixth Master.

Liu Hanyan’s light chuckle came from the phone. "What, did you think I was spying on you? You’re overthinking it. I’m in the Kunlun Sect’s sacred grounds!"

"Then... then how do you know everything so clearly?" Ye Feng asked, astonished.

Liu Hanyan giggled. "You little rascal, is there anything I want to know that I can’t find out? Alright, let’s get to business. Your third marriage agreement is with the young mistress of Hundred Herbs Hall, Su Youning. She’s in Nanjun right now.

"Let me tell you, this third wife of yours has the best personality I’ve ever seen, and she’s also the most beautiful. I won’t send you a picture this time. I’ll leave you in suspense."

Ye Feng almost laughed. ’The most beautiful? Sixth Master has learned how to exaggerate!’

’How beautiful could she possibly be? Could she be more beautiful than Xiao Yufei, Wang Luyao, and Nangong Xue?’

Just then, Liu Hanyan’s voice turned incredibly serious. "Xiaofeng, you’d better fulfill all five marriage agreements as soon as possible and find clues about your parents. The longer you delay, the more variables will come into play. Do you understand what I mean?"

Ye Feng nodded heavily. "Master, I know. I’ll be as quick as I can."

Liu Hanyan grunted in acknowledgment and hung up.

「 ... 」

Ye Feng returned to the bedroom and looked at Xiao Yufei. "That was my master on the phone. She told me my third marriage agreement is in Nanjun. I have to go there tomorrow. I need to find clues about my parents as soon as possible." Xiao Yufei felt a pang of awkwardness. ’He’s telling his own fiancée that he’s going to find another woman, and I can’t even refuse. What kind of situation is this?!’

But since it involved Ye Feng’s parents, Xiao Yufei would never stand in his way. She quickly nodded. "Okay. I hope you find the clues you need soon and can bring your parents back."

Seeing how understanding Xiao Yufei was, Ye Feng suddenly pulled her into his arms.

The two held each other tightly, sharing endless heartfelt words until dawn, when Lan Yazhi called them for breakfast.

They went to the dining room. Lan Yazhi brought over the hot food and, looking at Ye Feng sipping his tea, said with a smile,

"My boy, this is the soft-shelled turtle soup I made for you. Have some, it’s very nourishing!"

"PFFT..." Ye Feng spat out a mouthful of tea.

Nearby, Xiao Gang looked at Ye Feng with a grin and said,

"Ye Feng, as long as you’re living with the Xiao family from now on, I can rest easy!"

At that moment, Xiao Yufei came out, blushing, and said, "Dad, Ye Feng has other things to do. How could he possibly live with us long-term?"

Hearing this, Xiao Gang grew anxious. "But if Ye Feng leaves, what will we do if those people from the Lin family come for revenge?"

Lan Yazhi shot Xiao Gang a glare. "Didn’t you see for yourself? Ye Feng already had all the people from the Meng, Lin, and Sun families taken away. How could they possibly come for revenge?"

"No, no, Ye Feng can’t leave. I only feel safe when he’s here."

Just then, Xiao Wenyuan came over and shot Xiao Gang a glare. "Are you treating Ye Feng like some kind of household guardian beast?!"

He then looked at Ye Feng. "Kid, don’t pay him any mind. You go handle your own business."

Ye Feng wiped his mouth and looked at Xiao Gang.

"If anyone dares to bully the Xiao family in the slightest from now on, I, Ye Feng, will make them pay a thousand times over. You can rest assured."

Xiao Gang nodded, but then quickly said with renewed worry,

"Ye Feng, I’m not worried about anything else, but what if the Martial Arts Association sends more experts over? How would we defend ourselves?"

Ye Feng replied in a cold voice, "I will handle matters with the Martial Arts Association. Also, I’m going to find Squad Leader Cui right now and have him dispatch experts from Nanjun to ensure your safety. Don’t worry."

Only then did Xiao Gang let out a long sigh of relief.

After speaking, Ye Feng got up to leave. Xiao Yufei walked him to the door, her eyes full of reluctance. She really wanted to ask him to stay, but thinking about the important things he had to do, she held back. She looked at him, thought for a moment, and said,

"Go say goodbye to Luyao and Xue’Er."

Ye Feng’s eyes lit up. He hugged Xiao Yufei, kissed her on the forehead, and said with emotion, "Yufei, thank you for your generosity. I’ll never forget how good you are to me!"

With that, he turned, got in his car, and sped away.

Watching the car leave, Xiao Yufei’s eyes reddened, and tears streamed down her face. She murmured,

"Ye Feng, no matter how far you go, I’ll be here waiting for you. Waiting for your return."

She wiped the corner of her eye, turned, and walked toward her own car, murmuring, "I need to work hard and make money, too. If I can’t help you in other ways, I must at least be able to help you financially!"

「 ... 」

In the car, Ye Feng picked up his phone and made a call. "Squad Leader Cui, this is Ye Feng. Contact Dragon King Pavilion in the provincial capital and have them send experts over. I need to ensure my family’s safety."

After hearing Cui Biao agree, Ye Feng hung up and sped toward Angel Apparel.

「 ... 」

Angel Apparel,

In the general manager’s office, two people were sitting opposite each other.

One was a stunningly beautiful woman—the general manager of Angel Apparel, Wang Luyao.

Across from her sat a pot-bellied, middle-aged man.

He was Hu Jun, the newly transferred Director of the Jiangcheng Planning Bureau.

Wang Luyao looked at Hu Jun and said with a smile, "Director Hu, Angel Apparel is expanding its production scale and needs to start the second phase of our project. So, I was hoping to ask you to approve a plot of land for construction."

Hu Jun leaned back on the sofa, crossed his legs, and spoke in bureaucratic tones.

"Well, ah, President Wang, Jiangcheng is currently undergoing rapid development. There are many, many people who want land. Demand far outstrips supply. This, ah, this makes things very difficult for me!"

Wang Luyao directly took out a bank card, pushed it toward Hu Jun, and said with a smile,

"Director Hu, this must be difficult for you. Here’s one million. Please, buy yourself some nice tea."

But Hu Jun didn’t even glance at the bank card. He shook his head and chuckled. "President Wang, at my level, do you really think I’m short on a little cash like this?"

Wang Luyao’s brow furrowed, but her expression quickly smoothed over. She took out another bank card and passed it to him.

"Director Hu, there’s another million in this one..."

Hu Jun shook his head. "President Wang, let’s be direct. No matter how much money you give me, I won’t approve the land for you. Unless... you agree to one condition!"

Wang Luyao looked at Hu Jun and asked quizzically, "Go on. What condition? As long as it’s something I can do, I’ll definitely agree!"

Hu Jun no longer bothered to hide his intentions. He sat up straight, looked at Wang Luyao, and said with a lecherous grin,

"President Wang, my condition is very simple, and it’s something you can easily do. Come on, let’s go discuss it in your private suite!"

The moment Hu Jun finished speaking, the expression of the secretary standing behind him changed drastically. He looked at Hu Jun and shouted urgently, "Director Hu, you mustn’t! You can’t touch President Wang!"

Hu Jun turned to his secretary and said arrogantly, "I’m the esteemed Director of the Planning Bureau, and you’re telling me I can’t touch a mere businesswoman? Are you kidding me? Go on, tell me, is she a princess or the Queen Mother herself that I can’t touch her?"

"Director Hu, she’s not a princess or the Queen Mother, but she is..." the secretary shouted desperately.

But before he could finish, Hu Jun arrogantly cut him off. "Not a princess, and not the Queen Mother. Then that settles it,"

After speaking, Hu Jun turned to the grim-faced Wang Luyao and said with a slimy smile,

"President Wang, hurry up and come with me. I’m already getting in the mood, you know... HAHA..."
