Top-class Bodyguard

Chapter 1040 - 1017: All Men Are Unfaithful

Liang Keqing was a bit nervous, and Ren Feng said from the side, "Her name is Liang Keqing. Her background is a bit complicated; I'll explain it to you slowly after we go inside."

"Alright, alright." Xia Yunlong said with a smile, "No matter who it is, every guest is welcome. I've been talking so much and kept you all standing. Come, come, come, let's go inside. The food is already prepared, waiting for your return."

The group went inside, and Mr. Yun also followed.

Inside the house, sure enough, the table was filled with a large spread of dishes, obviously prepared by the staff well in advance, but it seemed to still be steaming fresh, evidently finished not long ago.

"Come, come, everyone sit down." Mr. Xia warmly invited everyone to sit, taking the seat at the head of the table with a cheerful demeanor.

Ren Feng, Liang Keqing, and the others sat down, looking toward Xia Yunlong.

"Why are you all staring at me? Eat, eat! Ren Feng, don't be shy. This is your home. Eat whatever you want; Wenxue, you've gotten so skinny, how can you not eat more?"

Ren Feng twitched his mouth, Mr. Xia, didn't you just say I've gotten fatter?

Nevertheless, he didn't hold back. The old man and Mr. Xia were best friends, and his marriage to Xia Wenxue had long been arranged, so there was nothing to be cautious about, and quite frankly, he was a bit hungry from the journey.

Ren Feng picked up his chopsticks directly, and Xia Yunlong chuckled, saying, "That's the way, no worries, you won't eat me out of house and home; even that young lady, please eat."

"Thank you, grandpa." Liang Keqing obediently called out.

Everyone started eating, and the atmosphere was lively and bustling.

"By the way, Ren Feng, didn't you say earlier that you would tell me about Miss Keqing's background? Tell me now."

Ren Feng put down his chopsticks and shared his experience of going to Miaojiang with Mr. Xia, which instantly left Xia Yunlong quite moved.

"Miss Liang, don't worry. From now on, you are my granddaughter too, just like Wenxue; do you agree?"

"I agree." Liang Keqing was somewhat touched, feeling the old man's sincere warmth.

The meal concluded in a harmonious atmosphere among the few people, and Ren Feng remembered previous matters.

"Mr. Xia, what new families have emerged in Suhang recently?"

"Mostly some medium-sized families. After the Song Family fell, they began expanding quickly, but most of the profits from that time were swallowed up by our Xia, Cheng, and Yang families." Mr. Xia said with a smile, "Now, the more notable families are the Luo Family, the Yu Family, and the Zhao Family, and there are two others I've forgotten."

"But those aren't important; the important thing is that several Beijing families have also expressed an interest in reaching into Suhang."

"Oh? Why are they interested in Suhang?"

"It's the 'cunning rabbit has multiple burrows' strategy, plus Hangzhou is soon to be developed; property prices are skyrocketing. Even for major families, profits exceeding ten billion are enticing."

"Someone's come?" Ren Feng asked.

"A few have, but it's okay; with our three families here, the situation won't change, and both Cheng and Yang families have learned from us, the Xia Family, to be much more discreet."

The last incident where Ren Feng wiped out the Song Family in anger nearly scared them to death, and along with Han Buyan's intimidation, they don't dare to act recklessly anymore.

After talking for a while, Ren Feng didn't pay much attention; those families indeed couldn't compete with the Xia Family.

Then, Ren Feng and Xia Wenxue went for a walk in the courtyard to digest their food.

"How many days until the New Year?" Ren Feng asked.

"Five days left." Xia Wenxue smiled.

"Indeed, time flies; I still remember when I first returned to Jiangnan City." Ren Feng chuckled.

"Back then, you were quite a rogue." Xia Wenxue playfully rebuked.

"Was I? I don't remember it." Ren Feng looked puzzled.

"You were." Xia Wenxue also laughed, covering her mouth, "I clearly remember you spying on me in the bathroom."

Ren Feng felt a bit awkward but brazenly moved closer to Xia Wenxue, "Then tonight, let's go to bed and take a look."

"You never act properly." Xia Wenxue softly pinched Ren Feng's arm.

Liang Keqing chatted with Mr. Xia inside, and Xia Yunlong happily asked her to play chess with him.

"This year should be a good one." Ren Feng said with a smile, "I just don't know how many things will happen after the New Year."

Currently, his mind was still occupied with organizational matters; if this issue wasn't resolved, it would surely become a constraint to the Wind God Hall.

He planned to visit Western Europe after the New Year to settle everything.

"What are you thinking about so intently?" Xia Wenxue said beside Ren Feng, both gazing at the dark night sky.

"Nothing, just thinking how fortunate I am to marry you; it's a blessing earned over several lifetimes." Ren Feng chuckled.

"Really just me?" Xia Wenxue, holding Ren Feng's hand, smiled knowingly and said, "Feng, if you marry me, what about Liou Rumei?"

Ren Feng was startled internally and gazed at Xia Wenxue.

"Uh, Xue'xue, it's getting late, shall we go to bed?"

"Feng, I've already noticed." Xia Wenxue said softly.

"You, what have you noticed?" Ren Feng didn't know why he felt a bit nervous inside.

"Men are all fickle." Xia Wenxue didn't say anything else, just lightly pinched Ren Feng's hand with an aggrieved look in her eyes.

Ren Feng smiled wryly, seemingly Xia Wenxue indeed already knew.

"What about me?" Ren Feng probed.

"Let it be." Xia Wenxue said softly.

Let it be?

Ren Feng nodded slightly.

After chatting for a while, they also returned to the bedroom to sleep, although Liang Keqing was staying next door.

The two lay in bed, Ren Feng feeling a bit restless, his hand gently reaching toward Xia Wenxue.

"Keqing is probably still awake." Xia Wenxue turned to look at Ren Feng.

"It's fine, as long as you don't cry out loud later." Ren Feng said playfully, making Xia Wenxue's face lightly blush.

Soon, faint playful sounds echoed in the room.

...

Waking up the next day, the two got up for breakfast.

Ren Feng glanced at the weather outside, and indeed, it seemed to be snowing soon.

After breakfast, around nine o'clock, Jiang Xiangwen arrived with Jiang Moshu.

"Good morning, Ren Feng." Jiang Xiangwen said with a smile.

Ren Feng also smiled and said, "Good morning."

After speaking, he looked toward Jiang Moshu behind him, seeing her in a delicate and loving frame.

"Xiangwen is here. You young folks have a chat; I, the old man, won't join the fun." Xia Yunlong said with a laugh.

"What are you saying, uncle?" Jiang Xiangwen said with a smile.
