Chapter 45: Old Fox Xiao Wenyuan

Chapter 45: Chapter 45: Old Fox Xiao Wenyuan

Damn it!

Ye Feng was at his wit’s end.

’My hands are tied. How am I supposed to get out of this?’

In the end, Lan Yazhi pushed the two of them directly into the room. Xiao Yuanshan followed them in, sat down in a chair, and said, "I’m sitting right here to watch today. I’m not leaving until you two share this room."

But after a moment’s thought, he realized it was indeed a bit inappropriate for an old man like him to stay in his granddaughter and grandson-in-law’s room.

He stood up abruptly and said to Lan Yazhi, who was standing beside him:

"Daughter-in-law, I’m leaving this task to you. If you don’t make sure these two share the room tonight, I’ll start a hunger strike tomorrow morning. I’ll starve myself to death for you all to see!"

With that, he clasped his hands behind his back and strode out. His smug voice drifted back, "Trying to pull a fast one on me? You two are still too green."

Xiao Yufei and Ye Feng just stood there, completely dumbfounded.

Lan Yazhi looked at the two of them, a wide grin on her face. "What are you standing around for? Get ready for bed."

"Mom!" Xiao Yufei looked at Lan Yazhi, her eyes pleading.

Lan Yazhi spread her hands and said helplessly, "My dear, I can’t help you with this one. If you don’t want your grandfather to go on a hunger strike, you’d better just do as you’re told."

Seeing no way out, Xiao Yufei had no choice but to lie down on the bed and turn off the lights.

Lan Yazhi turned to Ye Feng, her smile widening.

"My boy, if you want to get your Jade Pendant back, you’d better behave as well!"

Ye Feng, also forced into a corner, could only lift the covers and lie down beside Xiao Yufei.

The moment he touched her, he clearly felt Xiao Yufei’s body tense up instantly.

Ye Feng shook his head helplessly. ’It’s not like I want to do this either!’

Just then, Lan Yazhi added, "Take off your clothes. I’ll take them to be washed."

"We... still... have... to... take... off... our... clothes?" Xiao Yufei’s eyes looked like they were about to pop out of her head.

Lan Yazhi smiled sweetly. "Or should I have your grandfather come and persuade you?"

In the end, Lan Yazhi made off with all of Xiao Yufei’s and Ye Feng’s clothes, leaving them in nothing but their underwear.

Seeing Lan Yazhi still standing by the bed, Xiao Yufei was dying of shame and anger. "Mom, are you just going to stand there and watch? Give us a break!"

Lan Yazhi just chuckled and finally left.

Xiao Yufei and Ye Feng could clearly hear Xiao Wenyuan’s triumphant laughter from outside:

"Young people are like a raging fire. In a situation like this, I refuse to believe you can still hold back. My grandson is on the way, heh heh..."

The next moment, the laughter faded into the distance until it was gone.

Inside the room, Xiao Yufei recoiled as if she had touched a hot coal. She shoved Ye Feng away, scrambling to the edge of the bed. Shielding her chest with her arms, she stared at Ye Feng and shouted in a trembling voice:

"Y-You, don’t come any closer!"

Ye Feng rolled over to face away from her and said lazily, "Tch, even if you wanted me to, I wouldn’t. This is all just an act for them. You and I have nothing to do with each other."

"You... After what’s happened between us, you still say we have nothing to do with each other? You bastard! You scumbag!"

Hearing Ye Feng’s words, Xiao Yufei felt like she was about to explode with rage.

Ye Feng looked at Xiao Yufei, perplexed. "What is wrong with you, Xiao Yufei? What do you want? Do you want us to have a relationship, or not?"

"I..." Xiao Yufei was suddenly at a loss for words.

’Say we have nothing to do with each other? He’s seen me practically naked, and we just had that intimate contact without any barriers. For a young woman to go through that with a man... it’s impossible to say there’s nothing between us!’

’But to say we do have a relationship... I already have someone in my heart. I really don’t want to be involved with him.’

In the end, Xiao Yufei didn’t know what to say. She changed the subject, glaring at Ye Feng.

"In front of everyone else, we’re still husband and wife. So when you’re out, you should think about our reputation. Don’t flirt with those vixens on the street. If word gets back to me, I, Xiao Yufei, can’t afford that kind of embarrassment."

Ye Feng simply ignored her, turned over, and went to sleep.

"You..." Seeing Ye Feng give her the cold shoulder, Xiao Yufei felt a sudden wave of disappointment. ’Am I really that unattractive to him?’

But she quickly shook her head with a wry smile. ’What am I thinking? Do I actually want him to be so captivated by me that he does something beastly?’

So, she stopped trying to talk to Ye Feng and picked up her phone to make a call. "Hello, Chairman Li? This is Xiao Yufei from Qingya Cosmetics. I’m planning a Phase Two expansion and was hoping to secure a loan from you. What? You don’t have any available credit lines right now? Alright then, I’ll try someone else."

Xiao Yufei hung up with a sigh and immediately dialed another number. "Chairman Sun, this is Xiao Yufei. I’m preparing for a Phase Two expansion and would like to borrow some funds from you. What? You don’t have any available lines of credit either? Okay, I’ll see who else I can find."

Xiao Yufei put down the phone, her face clouded with worry.

Just then, Ye Feng rolled over and looked at her, saying impatiently:

"Why are you making phone calls in the middle of the night? Are you trying to keep me from sleeping?"

"Who would want to work overtime if they had a choice? I’m supporting an entire company by myself! Do you think it’s easy for me? I don’t even have anyone to help me! You think this is easy? And now you’re complaining about me making a phone call? Do you have a heart?"

Xiao Yufei glared at Ye Feng, her eyes turning red as she spoke of her grievances.

Seeing Xiao Yufei on the verge of tears, Ye Feng’s heart softened. He asked in confusion, "Last time at Qingya Cosmetics, didn’t those bank chairmen already give you a bunch of loans? Why are you short on money again?"

Xiao Yufei shot Ye Feng a look. "Didn’t you hear me say I’m expanding for Phase Two? The money I borrowed before isn’t nearly enough!"

She sighed. "Unfortunately, it seems no one has any credit available. Oh well, I’ll have to go and beg someone tomorrow to see if I can get a loan."

"Beg? Why beg? It’s just a little money. Is it that serious?" With that, he got up, grabbed the Supreme Dragon Card from the table, and tossed it to Xiao Yufei. "If you need money, take it from my card."

Xiao Yufei looked at Ye Feng, a sudden warmth spreading through her heart. She couldn’t help but say gratefully:

"Thank you."

But Ye Feng’s next words nearly made her explode with rage again. He just curled his lip and said, "I don’t need your thanks. The best way you can thank me is by convincing the old man to return my Jade Pendant as soon as possible."

"You... you..." Xiao Yufei was furious. After a long moment, she finally managed to choke out two words: "You bastard."

Ye Feng didn’t argue with her. He simply turned his back to her, yawned, and said:

"Time for sleep. I’m tired!"

Xiao Yufei glared at Ye Feng, absolutely livid. She snatched up the bank card, ready to throw it at him, but in the next moment, her eyes darted, and she pulled the card back.

’Men turn bad when they have money. Tomorrow, I’ll withdraw all of his money. Let’s see how he plans on seducing women then.’

Xiao Yufei placed the bank card on the table and lay down. Turning on her side, she thought of that other boy and murmured to herself, ’Where in the world are you?’

Just then, Ye Feng rolled over and wrapped his arms around her from behind.

Xiao Yufei’s body went rigid in an instant, her heart leaping into her throat. ’Is he... is he really going to...?’
