Chapter 546 Another Plan
"Two skewers." Lin Feng handed over the money and directly drew two skewers of ice-sugar gourds, handing one to Leng Mei.
"I haven’t had this for many years." Leng Mei was very touched by the ice-sugar gourd in her hand; although it was just a skewer, it was Lin Feng’s thoughtfulness, and she truly hadn’t expected Lin Feng to buy her ice-sugar gourds. Now, her heart was filled with happiness. Taking a bite, the sour and sweet taste was delicious, and her mood lifted significantly!
"If you want to eat in the future, I can make them for you anytime," Lin Feng said with a touch of emotion upon seeing how happy Leng Mei was, feeling a bit uncomfortable inside. It hadn’t been easy for Leng Mei over the years. In the future, he would find more opportunities to make it up to her.
"Good, I want to eat lamb skewers now!" Hearing Lin Feng’s words and seeing the look in his eyes, Leng Mei’s cheeks reddened once more. She felt Lin Feng’s love and was even happier inside. This is what being in love felt like; it was truly wonderful!
Suddenly, catching the scent of lamb skewers, she whimsically decided she wanted some. She hadn’t tasted this flavor in a long while either. Since Lin Feng was out with her today, she thought she might as well fully enjoy herself. Besides, she had already agreed to be Lin Feng’s woman, so there was no need to be as cold as she used to be. She felt tired of living like that.
Reflecting on her past life, she couldn’t figure out why she had become the way she was today. Initially, as a child, she felt a strong aversion to some people around her. Over time, this transformed her into the cold character she became, distancing herself from others. Actually, Leng Mei wished to be like other ordinary girls, cheerful and full of smiles, able to laugh without hesitation whenever she wanted, but she had grown so accustomed to living this way that she found it difficult to change suddenly.
However, today, Leng Mei genuinely felt Lin Feng’s love, and the ice mountain in her heart that had already been melting because of him wasn’t so cold anymore. She really wanted to taste what it was like to be a woman in love. Hence, she resolved to integrate into Lin Feng’s life no matter what. Especially with Lin Feng trying so hard, she really didn’t want to be cold anymore; she longed to live happily with her loved one like any other ordinary woman.
"Then let’s go eat!" Lin Feng replied with a light smile upon hearing Leng Mei’s words, and once again took hold of her hand, walking towards the lamb skewer stall while eating their ice-sugar gourds.
Passersby who saw Lin Feng and Leng Mei couldn’t help but turn their heads for another look, feeling that the pair was as perfectly matched as a golden boy and a jade girl. However, after a moment of envy, they went about their business.
"Ten lamb skewers."
Lin Feng took the ten skewers, but didn’t divide them between him and Leng Mei. Watching her so happy that evening, an idea suddenly struck him.
"Open your mouth," Lin Feng suddenly said.
"Huh?" Leng Mei was quite surprised. Why was Lin Feng asking her to open her mouth? But before she could wonder further, she felt the hot lamb skewer being placed in her mouth and instantly understood his intentions. Seeing Lin Feng smile at her, she felt extremely moved. She hadn’t expected him to do something like this, and although doing it in front of so many people made her a bit uncomfortable, she didn’t hesitate and bit down.
"Is it tasty?"
"Tasty!"
"Are you happy?"
"Happy!"
And so, Lin Feng and Leng Mei slowly strolled the streets, taking turns with the skewers and eventually finishing them off, then moved on to other snacks...
Seeing Leng Mei become more and more joyful, Lin Feng also felt very happy. As long as she was happy, he was willing to do anything.
But Leng Mei’s heart was filled with a multitude of emotions—happiness, joy, bliss, and being touched, among others, had completely overwhelmed her. In the past, when she saw other couples strolling through the streets, she didn’t understand why they seemed so happy. Today, Leng Mei finally realized happiness was actually that simple. It didn’t require fancy clothes or sweet talk—simply having Lin Feng accompany her, walking through the streets, eating her favorite foods, and doing things together that she wanted but never had the courage to do...
Now, Leng Mei truly understood what a wonderful sensation being in love was!
......
Zeng Xiaolong returned home with his subordinates and immediately flew into a rage, heaping a torrent of abuse on the seriously injured Feng Qi!
"What the hell happened to you today? What is the point of keeping you around if this is how you perform? You, an AA-ranked martial arts master, got beaten up by Leng Hao to this extent? You’re less useful than a ******* pig! You’ve thrown away all my face! If word of this incident spreads, how am I supposed to maintain my standing in Capital City? You’re worthless. Get out of my sight!"
Zeng Xiaolong, pointing at Feng Qi’s face, was seething with anger inside. To him, Feng Qi getting beaten was a minor issue; the major issue was the slap on his own face. He had thought that bringing Feng Qi along would make dealing with Leng Hao an easy job, but instead of overpowering Leng Hao, Feng Qi ended up severely injured, forcing him to leave in disgrace. The thought made Zeng Xiaolong so angry that he couldn’t help but curse Feng Qi fiercely!
"Young master..." Feng Qi was also feeling very frustrated; he hadn’t anticipated such an outcome. Logically, it should have been effortless for him to deal with Leng Hao, but for some reason, Leng Hao seemed to have transformed into a completely different person in an instant. Every one of his moves seemed to predict Feng Qi’s actions, striking at his vulnerabilities, leaving him unable to defend effectively, which led to today’s events.
Feng Qi found it very strange. At the start of the fight, he had already felt that Leng Hao was obviously no match for him, and Leng Hao’s strength was indeed at the level of an A-ranked master. However, he couldn’t comprehend how Leng Hao suddenly exhibited such an explosive burst of power without any warning. There was no one at the scene offering advice or instructions, yet Leng Hao suddenly became so relentless. Feng Qi couldn’t figure out, even if he wracked his brain, how Leng Hao managed to...
"Young master? Go and tend to your injuries!" Zeng Xiaolong’s face was ashen with fury, clearly mad about the recent events. In fact, he understood that not everything that happened tonight was Feng Qi’s fault. He too had seen how Leng Hao had suddenly become extraordinarily powerful with his own eyes, and found it just as baffling. But at this point, excuses were useless. His face had been lost, and after all the harsh words he had said earlier, he had wanted to beat up Sister Leng Mei and her brother Leng Hao to vent the anger of the past, yet he had never imagined that it would result in such a debacle.
Remembering how he had to flee the scene in humiliation, Zeng Xiaolong could no longer contain his rage. He grabbed a cup from the table and hurled it violently at Feng Qi, wishing he could smash Feng Qi to death for botching the whole situation and causing him such embarrassment.
Feng Qi didn’t dodge and let the cup hit him, then slowly turned and left the room. He knew that there was no point in trying to explain anything to Zeng Xiaolong while he was so infuriated. It was better not to say anything and just go recover from his injuries as ordered. Once he healed, he would certainly seek out Leng Hao again. No matter what, he had to beat Leng Hao down to avenge today’s humiliation.
"It’s killing me! Leng Mei, Leng Hao, I must avenge the grudge of that broken leg from years ago! You two just wait!" As Zeng Xiaolong watched Feng Qi leave, there was only one thought in his mind: to avenge the grudge of that kick from Leng Mei and the broken leg from Leng Hao, no matter the cost...
......
After making a phone call and leaving Qingyun Villa, Yuan Kun went back to a place called Bigang Hot Springs in the Northern Suburbs, where he intended to meet someone. This person was one of Zeng Xiaolong’s underlings named Xiao Hou. Xiao Hou was one of the closest people to Zeng Xiaolong, responsible for handling many affairs, but unbeknownst to everyone, Xiao Hou was actually Yuan Kun’s man, having been bought over by Yuan Kun a long time ago.
"Xiao Hou, do me a favor, this is very important, and it must be done well," Yuan Kun walked into a lounge and spotted Xiao Hou drinking tea, heading straight towards him.
"Young Master Kun, anything you instruct, as long as it’s within my power, I will do my utmost to accomplish." Xiao Hou, tall and skinny in casual yellow clothing, looking like a slim monkey, stood up immediately when he saw Yuan Kun. Yuan Kun had given him far more money over the years than Zeng Xiaolong, so Xiao Hou was especially polite to him. Whatever task the god of wealth Yuan Kun arranged, as long as Xiao Hou was capable, he would certainly do it well!
"How was Zeng Xiaolong last night?" Yuan Kun took a sip of the tea Xiao Hou had poured before starting the conversation, eager to know Zeng Xiaolong’s reaction.
"After he returned to Beishan Villa, he just raged and cursed at people, nothing else," Xiao Hou responded without hesitation to Yuan Kun’s query, not understanding why Yuan Kun was asking about Zeng Xiaolong, but nonetheless he reported everything in detail. He also didn’t understand why Zeng Xiaolong was so infuriated.
"Oh, is that so? When you go back, look for an opportunity. If you get the chance, stir up Zeng Xiaolong a bit more, try to make him do something else to Leng Mei and Leng Hao. If you can get Zeng Xiaolong to do something to Lin Feng, that would be even better. Got it?"
Yuan Kun straightforwardly stated his request. The best scenario now was to use Zeng Xiaolong as a pawn. Only if the conflict between Zeng Xiaolong and the Leng siblings intensified could he find an opportunity to intervene and continue playing the hero in a damsel-in-distress scenario. That way, he could completely kick Lin Feng out. Right now, Yuan Kun absolutely loathed the suddenly-emerged Lin Feng; if possible, he wished Lin Feng would drop dead right now!
"Understood! I’m heading back to the villa right now. If there’s a chance, I’ll surely do as Young Master Kun said! Rest assured, I will handle it beautifully," Xiao Hou eagerly affirmed Yuan Kun’s instructions, rising to leave for a chance to execute Yuan Kun’s orders, believing that if he succeeded, Yuan Kun would definitely not skimp on rewards.
"Don’t worry; if you do this well for me, I won’t let you down!" Yuan Kun watched Xiao Hou stand up, remarking indifferently. Although Xiao Hou was somewhat greedy, he was reliable when it came to getting things done. As long as he was offered a handsome reward, his effectiveness was undeniable, which was why Yuan Kun added that comment.
"Great, wait for the good news. I’ll head back now and will inform you immediately once the deed is done." With everything made clear, Xiao Hou stood up to leave, his mind already plotting how to execute Yuan Kun’s order and how to instigate the conflict between Zeng Xiaolong and the Lengs.
After Xiao Hou had left, Yuan Kun too turned to leave, but inwardly he was filled with anticipation. If Lin Feng knew all about this, what sort of expression would he have? An out-of-season young master, what capability could he possibly have? This was the price for crossing Leng Mei!
Lin Feng, just you wait, I’ll make you pay in these next few days!
