Chapter 13: Chapter 13: Just Two Mere Ants!
"What?!"
Everyone was stunned.
Wei Yunxiang, behaving so respectfully to Qin Feng?
What's going on?
Sun Xudong was also taken aback, and hurriedly said, "Cousin, I'm not with him, you don't need to give me face."
But.
No sooner had he finished speaking than Wei Yunxiang slapped him across the face, saying coldly, "Give you face? Mr. Qin is my honored guest, you will not make a scene!"
Sun Xudong was completely dumbstruck.
At this point, the others also finally understood: the room's bill was waived not because of Sun Xudong but because of Qin Feng!
Xu Yunxiao's eyes widened as she looked at Qin Feng, unable to believe this was real.
Her seemingly worthless husband actually knew a big shot like Wei Yunxiang, it was incredible!
The room fell silent.
Wei Yunxiang then said to Sun Xudong, "Get out!"
"Okay, okay..."
Sun Xudong, at a loss, was about to leave.
But he was stopped by Qin Feng's upraised hand, who leisurely said, "Wait a minute, haven't you forgotten about our bet already?"
Sun Xudong's face turned awkward.
Xiao Man realized things weren't going well and said anxiously and fearfully, "I'll transfer the money to Yunxiao right now."
According to the bet, if she lost, she would have to transfer the cost of the meal to Xu Yunxiao.
Xu Yunxiao was busy waving her hands, saying, "No, no need..."
She dared not take advantage of this.
Seeing this, Qin Feng gave a bitter smile and said, "Well then, you can go ahead and pay the bill. However much it is, just pay it."
After all, Wanfu Building was his own, and he wouldn't lose out.
Manager Gao immediately produced the bill, saying, "The total amount to be paid is 863,000 yuan."
Over 860,000 yuan?!
Xiao Man felt her heart bleeding.
It would take such a long time to earn back the money spent on just one meal...
Xu Yunxiao and Li Jie breathed a sigh of relief to themselves.
If they had to pay this money, they would probably be bankrupt.
After paying.
Xiao Man and the others were about to leave.
But Qin Feng stopped them again, smiling, "Is that everything?"
Xiao Man's face immediately flushed red, wishing she could find a hole to crawl into, to call this worthless husband Master? How could she have the face to stay in Lake City after this...
"Trying to weasel out, huh?"
A cold smile played on Qin Feng's lips.
Xiao Man shivered, and with her eyes closed, she gritted her teeth and said, "Ma-master..."
"That's more like it." Qin Feng smiled, "Remember, every time you see me, you call me that. If I ask you to make the bed or warm the blanket, you'd better obey. Hear me?"
"...heard you."
Xiao Man replied in a voice as quiet as a mosquito.
She had no choice.
With Wei Yunxiang standing by, she didn't dare say half a word of dissent.
"Go on, get out!"
Qin Feng waved his hand, "Oh, and from now on, when you see my wife, you should also call her 'Master'!"
Xiao Man nodded repeatedly, leaving with Sun Xudong and their friends in an embarrassing plight.
Wei Yunxiang then said, "Mr. Qin, may I... have a word in private?"
"Of course."
Qin Feng shrugged.
Wei Yunxiang immediately instructed the manager to arrange for Xu Yunxiao and Li Jie to rest in the teahouse, while she and Qin Feng went to another teahouse.
In the teahouse.
Xu Yunxiao and Li Jie, looking at the antique and extremely high-end tea set, felt surprised and excited.
They only knew that Wanfu Building had a teahouse.
But they had never come to have tea because it was too expensive for them.
"Wow! A pot of Pu'er tea here is 80,000 yuan!" Li Jie saw the price tag next to her, her eyes widened in shock, and she hurriedly put the price tag back down in fear.
At this moment.
A teatress in a classical cheongsam with an elegant demeanor approached to make tea for the two women.
The two hastened to wave their hands in embarrassed refusal.
Too expensive, they couldn't afford it!
The teatress smiled warmly and said, "Ladies, this is the VIP area, and everything is complimentary."
She said this as she skillfully prepared the tea.
After the tea master leaves, Li Jie savors the eighty-thousand-yuan tea feeling as if she's dreaming and asks Xu Yunxiao, "How does your husband know a big shot like President Wei?"
"I have no idea," responds Xu Yunxiao with a wry smile. "We can only wait for him to come out and ask him."
The adjacent tea room.
Wei Yunxiang personally brews a pot of thirty-six-thousand-yuan aged Pu'er tea for Qin Feng and apologetically says, "Boss, I... I want to ask you for a favor."
Just now in the private room, she called him Mr. Qin as he didn't want to reveal his identity, but now that they are alone, she switched to calling him "Boss."
"I know, you want to plead for Sun Xudong, right?" Qin Feng says indifferently.
"Yes..."
Wei Yunxiang's usually noble and cool cheeks flash a hint of embarrassment as she cautiously pleads, "Although I don't interact much with the Sun Family, we are still distant relatives, and I hope you could be lenient..."
"That's fine, I have no interest in such petty characters," Qin Feng dismisses with a wave of his hand as he tastes his tea.
"Thank you for your magnanimity, Boss!" Wei Yunxiang bows gratefully to Qin Feng.
But as she bends forward, the revealing glimpse of whiteness inside her shirt inadvertently gives Qin Feng an eyeful.
"Phew!"
Qin Feng's eyes suddenly widen and, with a start, he spits out the tea he just drank.
And it happens to land right on her white shirt.
"I'm, I'm so sorry; it was not intentional..." Qin Feng says awkwardly, hastily reaching out to help her wipe it off.
After fussing for a while and seeing Wei Yunxiang's slender body trembling nervously and her face turning red, he realizes his overreach and becomes even more embarrassed: "I'm, I'm so sorry..."
"No, it's no trouble..." Wei Yunxiang softly lowers her head, her red face almost seeming to drip with water.
Qin Feng is astonished.
Such a tall, sexy woman with the demeanor of a queen now blushing like this, coupled with the wet white shirt revealing a glimpse inside, is enough to stir one's blood and make it hard to resist...
The atmosphere becomes somewhat tense.
"Maybe you should change your clothes first!" Qin Feng suggests.
"Thank you, Boss," Wei Yunxiang replies in a voice as faint as a mosquito's.
The tea room has garments designed for guests to wear during tea tastings.
Wei Yunxiang hesitates for a moment, not heading to a changing area, but instead changes her clothes right in front of Qin Feng, with "calm self-assurance."
"..."
Qin Feng blinks bewildered.
What does she mean by this?
What surprises him even more is that such an intelligent, sexy woman like Wei Yunxiang could look unexpectedly beautiful and have a distinct charm in the traditional tea ceremony attire!
No, he can't stay here any longer, or he would feel guilty towards his wife...
Qin Feng hurriedly puts down his teacup, tries his best not to look at her, and says, "Oh right, I came here to tell you something. I noticed earlier that 'Qixi Love' open-air restaurant looks really nice. Reserve it for me!"
During the day he had heard some things but hadn't paid much attention.
Earlier, when he saw Xu Yunxiao mesmerized by the promotional video on the big screen in the lobby, he decided he definitely wanted to bring her here.
"But, it is only open to one couple. Wouldn't this offend Young Master Zhou or Young Master Liu from the Liu Family?" Wei Yunxiang expresses concern with knit brows.
She could ignore others, but the Zhou Family, Liu Family, and Li Family were Lake City's three major families.
Now both Young Master Zhou and Young Master Liu were competing for that spot.
"What do we have to do with them?" Qin Feng says dismissively, waving his hand. "They're just ants anyway."
"..."
Wei Yunxiang is momentarily taken aback by his words.
She only knew Qin Feng as someone even Boss Ma treated with great respect but had no idea he possessed such an imposing aura.
Those two young masters were figures the whole of Lake City looked up to.
Yet, in his eyes, they were merely ants!
For a moment.
An inexplicable surge of excitement wells up inside her.
Like an ancient general leading thousands of troops about to embark on a great campaign of conquest and glory.
"Alright, I'm leaving now," announces Qin Feng as he stands up.
Watching his retreating figure, Wei Yunxiang seems to internally make a resolute decision, her eyes becoming firm.
Yet, whenever she thinks of the decision she's made in secret, an uncontrollable blush spreads across her face again.
Another tea room.
Xu Yunxiao and Li Jie, blissfully sipping their eighty-thousand-yuan Pu'er tea, exclaim, "Never in our dreams did we imagine we'd enjoy something like this. This makes our lives worthwhile, hehe..."
Just then, seeing Qin Feng heading their way, Xu Yunxiao hurriedly sits up and asks, "Qin Feng, what exactly happened?"
