Fifth update!
“That’s true, leaving a beauty like my sister is indeed a very regrettable thing.
But now that you’re single, you have even more choices, right?” As she spoke, Chu Qingfei puffed out her chest, seemingly trying to tempt Ye Chenfeng.
“Is that so?
I think I’ll never meet another girl like your sister!” Ye Chenfeng said.
Chu Qingfei’s face showed shock as she looked at Ye Chenfeng and asked incredulously, “Brother, you can’t possibly like my sister’s type, can you?
A social butterfly like you, how could you like an ice queen like her?”
“Haha!” Ye Chenfeng was truly amused by Chu Qingfei and laughed, “What do you think?”
“I guess a man like you definitely wouldn’t like an ice queen beauty.
You like the kind of girl who’s gentle as water, the one who silently supports you from behind.
My sister’s type is more suited for one-night stands or as a lover!” Chu Qingfei said bluntly.
Ye Chenfeng felt stunned because what Chu Qingfei described was almost exactly his ideal partner.
“Brother, you’re leaving, and I’m feeling down.
Would you spend the day with me, please?” Chu Qingfei had already quietly planned it all in her heart.
“Well then, I’ll spend today with you, and I’ll leave tomorrow!” Ye Chenfeng said.
“Yay, yay!”
Chu Qingfei cheered and jumped up, hugging Ye Chenfeng with a look of joy.
Today was unquestionably one of the happiest days for Chu Qingfei, as Ye Chenfeng accompanied her to the aquarium, the cinema, a Western restaurant, and other usual dating spots for couples.
In her heart, Chu Qingfei already treated Ye Chenfeng as her boyfriend.
“Qingfei, should you head back?” Ye Chenfeng took Chu Qingfei to the Jiangnan Film and Television Base for the last stop.
Chu Qingfei looked down, shyly saying, “Brother, since you have nowhere to stay tonight, why don’t you come to my…
my place?” After finishing this sentence, Chu Qingfei’s cheeks flushed with a touch of red.
“No worries, I can just find a hotel to sleep in!” Ye Chenfeng said with a smile.
At this moment, Chu Qingfei really had the urge to throw herself at him and confess, but she was smart enough to know that Ye Chenfeng wasn’t in a good mood, and confessing would undoubtedly be hitting a wall.
“Okay…
okay then!
But I won’t leave until I see you check into a hotel,” Chu Qingfei said, fiddling with the hem of her clothes, sounding a little sad, although a hint of slyness flashed in her eyes.
“I’ll just pick this hotel here!” Ye Chenfeng pointed to a hotel not far away.
“Okay, let me walk you inside, brother!”
Unable to persuade Chu Qingfei, Ye Chenfeng had no choice but to let her follow him into the hotel.
Only then did Chu Qingfei leave, and Ye Chenfeng smiled helplessly, resigning himself to staying in the hotel.
That night, Ye Chenfeng suffered from insomnia, and so did another person—Chu Qingxue.
She sat alone on the expansive open-air balcony, quietly gazing at the star-filled night sky.
A cold breeze blew by, and Chu Qingxue couldn’t help but shiver, instinctively hugging her arms tightly.
Her gaze shifted to the swimming pool, recalling every scene from that night in her mind, remembering Ye Chenfeng’s rascally behavior, a smile naturally appeared on Chu Qingxue’s lips.
But after staring for a while, she felt the sense of impermanence, an empty feeling coursing through her, leaving Chu Qingxue with an indescribable taste…
The next day.
Ye Chenfeng got up with dark circles under his eyes, had a quick breakfast, and then drove out of the parking lot.
After driving a few hundred meters, Ye Chenfeng stopped the car and said without looking back, “Come on out.
I want to see how long you can hide.”
“Oh!” A soft voice replied, and the person who slowly sat up in the back seat was none other than Chu Qingfei.
That’s why she let Ye Chenfeng go into the hotel first the previous night.
Hair in disarray, her eyes resembling those of a giant panda, a petite face hung with an expression of grievance.
Pouting her lips, she looked pitifully at Ye Chenfeng.
“You didn’t sleep in the car all night, did you?” Ye Chenfeng couldn’t help but ask.
Chu Qingfei didn’t speak but just nodded her head in grievance.
Ye Chenfeng: “…”.
His face was a picture of frustration as he couldn’t help saying, “Why would you put yourself through this?”
Chu Qingfei’s eyes shimmered with tears: “Brother, I…
I want to go with you, to visit your hometown!”
Seeing Chu Qingfei’s pitiful look, Ye Chenfeng felt sorry for her.
“Why do you need to go with me?
Aren’t you going to take care of your company?”
“I’ve already arranged everything.
Brother, just let me come with you for three days, okay?
Just three days, and then I’ll come back!” Chu Qingfei held up her fingers, looking at Ye Chenfeng with a face full of anticipation.
Ye Chenfeng’s heart was melting.
Anyway, his trip to Changsheng Tomb wouldn’t take that long to return from, so taking Chu Qingfei along wouldn’t be an issue—it’d be like a vacation.
“Alright then!” Ye Chenfeng agreed.
“Oh yeah!” Chu Qingfei made a scissors gesture with her hand.
The gloomy look on her face changed, and the pitiful appearance was replaced by excitement.
Ye Chenfeng then realized he had fallen for Chu Qingfei’s ruse.
The aggrieved look she had shown earlier was all an act.
Ye Chenfeng shook his head helplessly and started the car.
He thought about calling Qingxue but then decided against it.
…
In an apartment somewhere in Jiangnan.
A line of people stood, it was actually Kurokawa, Hirata Kazuki, and others, including the black-clothed man Wilson Smith.
“I heard that Ye Chenfeng is leaving Jiangnan City today.
You all are to take him out on the road!
Anyone who messes with my plan dies!” A cold voice sounded.
The speaker sat in a high-backed leather chair, facing away from the crowd, so his face was not visible.
Just one hand lightly held a cigar, and the swirling smoke added a touch of mystery.
Wilson Smith disdainfully glanced at Kurokawa and the others: “Killing Ye Chenfeng is a job I can do alone, without a bunch of shorties meddling!”
Kurokawa and another were about to lose their temper when the mysterious person spoke again: “Mr.
Wilson Smith, if I recall correctly, last time there were two of you, and what happened then?”
A trace of embarrassment appeared on Wilson Smith’s face: “Last time we were careless!”
“So the formidable man in black also makes mistakes?
Mr.
Wilson Smith, do you know the consequences of failing a mission?” the mysterious person asked again.
Wilson Smith bowed his head: “I’ll listen to you!”
“How about this, Mr.
Kurokawa, as long as you cooperate with Wilson Smith to kill Ye Chenfeng, I will take care of the matter I promised you!” the mysterious person spoke once more.
Kurokawa chuckled: “Then I’ll leave it to your excellency.
Ye Chenfeng must die, and Ouyang Qingcheng—I must have her!”
…
Ye Chenfeng drove like a madman, quickly leaving Jiangnan District and getting onto the highway headed for the Northwest.
Chu Qingfei sat in the passenger seat, chattering non-stop, as cheerful as a little sparrow.
But Ye Chenfeng’s brow gradually furrowed, an uneasy feeling growing within him.
