My Cold and Elegant CEO Wife - Chapter 234

Chapter 234: A Dance with Xue Lin

 

Inside the Golden Bay Club.

At the moment, the entire hall was bustling with activity. Many people gathered around Bernard and Smith and tried to please them.

Of course, there were even more people who were trying to please Qingfeng. Many brave rich girls even walked to Qingfeng’s side and asked for his phone number.

But Qingfeng turned down all the requests from these girls. Xue Lin was right by his side. He dared not accept the phone numbers of these girls or give them his phone number.

“You are quite popular,” Xue Lin said as she smiled charmingly. Her smile attracted the attention of everyone.

As the number one beauty of Eastern Sea City, Xue Lin had a flock of admirers. Many people knew of her. Some men came up to flirt with her but Xue Lin ignored them completely. Thus, the men could walk away.

Some rich men refused to give up and still wanted to talk with Xue Lin. They invited her to dance with them but Qingfeng stepped up at this crucial moment and scared them away with a single glare. The multimillionaires dared not view Qingfeng as a salesperson any longer. Have you ever met a salesperson who could make Bernard bow in respect? Qingfeng was the first salesperson who accomplished that feat.

“Can I have the honor of having a dance with the beautiful Xue Lin?” Qingfeng bowed forward lightly and held out his palm.

His form was perfect and greatly impressed Xue Lin… It was a standard form of Western aristocrats.

“Okay, I will give you a chance, ” Xue Lin said with a smile as she walked towards the dancing area amidst the jealous looks of the onlookers.

“It is difficult to dance. There is no way this fellow knows how to dance.”

“You are right. It is impossible for one to dance without 8 or 10 years of practice. I don’t think they will dance well.”

“I’m so mad. How can my goddess, Xue Lin, dance with a man?” The people of in the hall were all jealous and upset.

Even though Qingfeng came from a strong background and could make Bernard bow towards him in respect, Xue Lin was more charming. Xue Lin was the goddess of the men of Eastern Sea City.

But now, Xue Lin was about to dance with Qingfeng. Everyone was jealous of Qingfeng.

Testosterone could blind the eyes of men. They were unable to see the leaps and bounds between themselves and Qingfeng.

“Which dance do you know?” Xue Lin wore a pair of black heels and a dress with a slight cut. She was gorgeous with a trace of seductiveness.

Xue Lin knew that ordinary people did not know how to dance. A dancer needed to have undergone training under professional instructors since they were young.

If you had no talent, you should not learn dance. This was the standard for the dancing community. The exception was if you were a genius.

Of course, disco and pole dancing were not true forms of dance. Aristocrats typically danced the Waltz, Latin or Royal dance.

Without instruction and practice, it was impossible for one to know how to dance. Xue Lin did not think that Qingfeng knew how to dance.

“I know every kind of dance. Let us dance the waltz first.”

Qingfeng smiled slightly as he took a step forward. His right hand was around Xue Lin’s waist and his left hand held her pale palm. He stepped forward with his right leg and started dancing with Xue Lin.

Xue Lin’s waist was small and soft. Her skin was silky smooth like high-quality silk.

“You really know how to dance?” A flash of surprise appeared in Xue Lin’s beautiful eyes.

From Qingfeng’s movements, it was apparent that he was highly skilled in dancing. His movements were very proficient. It was as if he had years of dancing experience. Even Xue Lin who had started dance lessons when she was three did not dance as well as him.

“What an interesting person. He danced even better than me.” A look of delight appeared in Xue Lin’s eyes.

“F*ck. This fellow really knows how to dance?”

“Look, his steps are agile and fluent. It is as if he has danced for dozens of years.”

“You’re right. Even my dance teacher does not dance as well as him.”

The people in the hall were all stunned.

They had just mocked Qingfeng and said that he could not dance but in the blink of an eye, Qingfeng had slapped the faces of those that looked down on him. He not only knew how to dance but was highly skilled.

Where did this fellow come from? How could he be so skilled in dancing? Even the number one beauty of Eastern Sea City, Xue Lin, was attracted to him. The surrounding people were all jealous of Qingfeng. They wished that they were in Qingfeng’s position and had their arms around Xue Lin.

“She is indeed the number one beauty of Eastern Sea City. What a beauty.”

She was at least 1.75m and was as tall as Qingfeng because of her heels. She had great proportions; her body was gorgeous and seductive.

Her chest was really big as well. Her breasts were about to spill out from her clothes. The flash of white was very seductive and her cleavage attracted one’s glance.

Qingfeng looked heatedly towards Xue Lin’s chest. He wanted to rub them with his hands.

“Don’t look.” Xue Lin became flustered as a flash of uneasiness appeared in her eyes.

This was the first time that Xue Lin danced with a man. She was not used to it. Qingfeng’s invasive gaze made her flush. Qingfeng smiled slightly when he heard Xue Lins words. He looked away and started to lean towards Xue Lin.

“Don’t come so close.” Xue Lin was slightly nervous when she saw Qingfeng who was a few inches away.

Even though this fellow danced well, but he kept moving towards her. It was clear that he did not have good intentions. Xue Lin was shy and bashful. Of course, this time, Qingfeng did not listen to Xue Lin’s words. He lips quickly moved towards Xue Lin’s lips and he quickly kissed her. Xue Lin’s face became red and she stared blankly forward. She was dazed. She did not expect Qingfeng to be so brave as to kiss her in front of everyone.

Of course, the reason Qingfeng kissed Xue Lin to announce to everyone that Xue Lin was his woman. No one should have their sights on her.

“F*ck, someone kissed my goddess.”

“Bastard, you shameless bastard.”

“On behalf of all the men of Eastern Sea City, I despise you!”

At the banquet, some were cursing that Qingfeng is shameless, and some were jealous that Qingfeng got to dance with their goddess.

Chapter 235: Ruyan Liu’s Jealousy

 

“I just marked you to show them that you are my lady.” Qingfeng Li smiled and said.

Although Xue Lin seemed like she was a little bit hurt, she felt really happy inside, especially when she heard Qingfeng say ‘you are my lady’. This cheered her up a bit.

Someone’s happiness will cause others to become unhappy. In this case, Ruyan Liu was really unhappy. She slightly frowned, with a trace of anger appearing on her face.

He…really had something with Xue Lin. Ruyan Liu had always suspected that Qingfeng Li and Xue Lin had an immoral relationship, and now that theory had been confirmed. The reason why she invited Xue Lin before was that she wanted to investigate the relationship between them. Unfortunately, they really had a special relationship. Qingfeng Li even danced with Xue Lin and kissed her! It was really annoying.

Ruyan Liu knew a lot about Xue Lin. She was the number one glamorous beauty in Eastern Sea City, was known as the Ice goddess and also that she was arrogant at heart and haughty in manner. She always treated others like nothing. It was impossible for her to kiss someone. She was never even seen holding hands with another person.

But now, she kissed with Qingfeng, and didn’t become angry! Which meant she was into Qingfeng. If she didn’t like him, she would never let him kiss her.

At this time, Ruyan knew that Qingfeng and Xue Lin had a different relationship, but she didn’t know the exact relationship between them. As she thought, they were supposed to be a couple, at least she never heard any information about Xue Lin being married.

After Qingfeng Li and Xue Lin finished their first dance, they stopped since they felt a little tired, and sat in the chairs nearby to take a rest.

They enjoyed some wine while they resting. They talked and laughed, looking like they were really close. This made the others around them envious.

“Well, if Xue Lin can dance with you, I will dance with you too.”

Ruyan Liu walked to Qingfeng Li, wanting to dance with him. She didn’t want to be the one that lost the game.

“Want to come dance with me?” Ruyan Liu walked in front of Qingfeng Li, held his arm directly, and asked delightfully.

Hearing the question from Ruyan Liu, Qingfeng Li’s face slightly changed. Xue Lin was right by his side, yet Ruyan Liu asked him for a dance. This would push him straight into hell.

They all said the pretty girls were tigers, mainly because it is a real truth. Qingfeng Li finally understood that Ruyan Liu was a pretty tigress. Every time she met Xue Lin, his world would just become a mess.

Ruyan Liu noticed Qingfeng Li didn’t answer but looked at Xue Lin. She felt jealousy! You bastard! I am inviting you for a dance, why do you need to look at Xue Lin?

“President Xue Lin, you won’t mind me inviting Qingfeng Li for a dance, right?” Ruyan Liu stared at Xue Lin and asked.

Xue Lin frowned. She did not know how to answer Ruyan Liu. If she didn’t allow them to dance, how could she explain her decision? It wouldn’t be a good idea if she told Ruyan Qingfeng was her husband. She still didn’t want to let others know about the relationship between Qingfeng Li and her.

Xue Lin didn’t know how to answer Ruyan. She also couldn’t find a good excuse to refuse Ruyan’s invitation, so she chose to say nothing.

“President Xue Lin, keeping quiet means that you agree.” Ruyan Liu showed a charming smile. She didn’t care about whether Xue Lin was happy or not. She took Qingfeng Li’s hand and walked towards the dance area.

“What? You don’t want to dance with me?” Finding the reluctant look on Qingfeng’s, Ruyan Liu felt a little bit uncomfortable.

Noticing Ruyan’s dissatisfaction, Qingfeng Liu said immediately, “How could I? It’s my honor to dance with you. I’m really cheerful.”

How could he say he was unhappy? He had sex with this girl before, so he could not let her down.

“Which style do you want to dance?” Qingfeng asked.

Ruyan blinked and answered, “How about the Waltz?”

She saw Xue Lin and Qingfeng Li chose to dance the waltz, so she would like to have the same dance now, of course.

With the red high heels that Ruyan Liu was wearing, it created a sharp contrast to Xue Lin’s black high heels.

Qingfeng stepped forward step by step, his right hand holding Liu Ruyan slender waist and his left hand holding her little hand.

“Holy crap! This guy just finished the dance with Xue Lin and is already dancing with Ruyan Liu again, I hate him!!”

“Me too! Both of the prettiest girls in Eastern Sea City chose to dance with him. He just took all of the rest of our hope!”

“It would be perfect if I could be him. If I can dance with my goddess, I rather lose ten years of my life.”

“Don’t even think about that! With your face, Ruyan Liu would never give any attention to you.”

Everyone that was in the hall felt jealousy with this. All of them wished they could be Qingfeng and dance with Ruyan Liu.

“She really is a glamorous goddess, so charming.” Qingfeng found that Ruyan was very pretty. It was a totally different kind of beauty than Xue Li.

Her face looked glamorous, her little pretty nose, her beautiful eyes were like two perfect black pearls that kept releasing a charming temptation, and her lips were like a fresh cherry. With her remarkably soft chest, her whole body was trying to draw in Qingfeng Li.

Ruyan Liu was very charming, such a reversal of all living creatures. While she was dancing, her body kept touching Qingfeng intentionally.

This little slut is seducing me again. Qingfeng Li’s face was turning reddish. His whole body was turned on. He just wished to put her down on the floor right away. However, this was the banquet hall. He could not do the thing he wanted.

Watching the look of trying to suppress urges that Qingfeng was showing, Ruyan Liu smiled. She finally felt complacent. She was seducing Qingfeng Li on purpose. She wanted to let him know what would happen if he danced with Xue Lin first but not her next time.

“Hey, Xue Lin is watching us.” Ruyan Liu noticed that Xue Lin was staring at them.

Ruyan Liu’s eyes turned and she kissed Qingfeng’s face directly with her red lips.

“Why did you kiss me?” Qingfeng Li touched his face, confused, and suddenly, he felt a murderous aura.

Xue Lin walked to the place that Ruyan Liu and Qingfeng Li were dancing with her murderous gaze. She was really unhappy. She knew that this was provocation from Ruyan Liu.

“President Xue Lin, we are dancing right now. Why are you here?” Ruyan Liu smiled, and asked.

“You bitch, how can you kiss him!” Xue Lin became angry and said with anger.

“What the hell, who you are calling the bitch?!”

“You, of course.”

“President Xue Lin, you are a beautiful lady, but how come your words are so ugly? How could I just become a bitch?”

By hearing Xue Lin call her a bitch, Ruyan Liu became unhappy. She only kissed Qingfeng. How could she become a bitch like this? She thought Xue Lin was being unreasonable. Qingfeng did not get married yet, how come she could not kiss him.

“Bitch, I am warning you. Do not seduce Qingfeng Li or kiss him again.” Xue Lin frowned and warned Ruyan Liu.

Chapter 236: He is My Husband!

 

Ruyan Liu frowned slightly when she heard Xue Lin’s warning. She was very upset. How am I a vixen? What do you mean that I seduced Qingfeng?

Why was Xue Lin even saying anything? She was only the CEO of the Ice Snow Corporation and Qingfeng’s superior. Who was she to warn him? Ruyan Liu was upset. It was her business that she kissed Qingfeng and liked him. Who was Xue Lin to warn her?

“President Xue Lin, you are a respectable person as well. Please watch your words. How am I a vixen? If you do not explain yourself, I can sue you for slander,” Ruyan Liu said unhappily. She had also become angry.

“You are a vixen because you kissed Qingfeng,” Xue Lin said with a cold smile. She directly labeled Ruyan Liu as a vixen.

Ruyan Liu was so angry that she broke into a smile. She has never met anyone who was so overbearing.

She coldly said, “Qingfeng is my boyfriend. Why can’t I kiss him?”

Boyfriend, how could you say he is your boyfriend? Xue Lin was angered by Ruyan Liu’s words.

“He is my husband,” Xue Lin said as she pointed to Qingfeng.

She was truly angered by Ruyan Liu so she chose to reveal their relationship. Truthfully, she did not want to reveal their husband and wife relationship but it seemed like she had no choice. To make Ruyan Liu give up, Xue Lin decided to reveal that Qingfeng was her husband. This would stop Ruyan Liu from seducing her husband.

What? Qingfeng is your husband? Ruyan Liu was stunned. Her body trembled and her eyes were wide with disbelief.

“You said that Qingfeng is your…husband?” Ruyan Liu fluttered her eyelashes in disbelief.

Xue Lin could tell that Ruyan Liu did not believe her words. It was too unbelievable. The number one beauty of Eastern Sea City was married to a salesperson. No one would believe it.

Xue Lin smiled coldly and said, “If you don’t believe me. You can ask Qingfeng.”

Ruyan Liu furrowed her brows and gazed questioningly at Qingfeng. Her gaze was complex with feelings.

“What Xue Lin said is true. We are already married,” Qingfeng said in a low voice.

He did not want to lie to Ruyan Liu. Furthermore, Xue Lin was right next to him so he could not lie. Qingfeng’s voice was very small. Other than Xue Lin, Ruyan Liu and him, no one else heard his words.

The people in the hall were all far away. They only saw the three of them speaking but could not make out what they were saying.

Married. Qingfeng said that he was married with Xue Lin. He was Xue Lin’s husband. Ruyan Liu’s expression became ghastly pale. This news was a huge blow for her. She was unable to accept it.

“My heart hurts, hurts. It hurts so much,” thought Ruyan Liu as she held onto her chest.

Sweat dripped from her body and she felt that her entire world had darkened.

Slam!

Ruyan Liu’s body swayed and she fell to the ground. She fainted. She was so shocked that she had fainted.

“Ruyan.” A flash of panic appeared on Qingfeng’s face. He quickly helped Ruyan Liu up.

At the moment, Ruyan Liu had fainted. Her face was ghastly pale without a trace of blood. She looked very different from her usual seductive self. Qingfeng knew that the news was a huge blow for Ruyan Liu. She could not cope with the news.

Xue Lin was the CEO of the Liu Corporation in Eastern Sea City. She was the number one beauty of Eastern Sea City and the young mistress of the Liu Family. She was beautiful and respectable. How could she have a relationship with a married man?

She was sad and upset which caused her to faint.

“Oh no, the young mistress has fainted.” Fu Liu’s expression changed when she saw that Ruyan Liu had fainted.

As the housekeeper of the Liu Corporation, Fu Liu knew that Ruyan Liu had a weak body since she was a kid. She had a weak heart. Whenever she was mad, she would faint.

The words of Qingfeng and Xue Lin had angered Ruyan Liu and caused her to faint.

“Step away. How dare you touch young mistress,” Fu Liu said furiously as he walked to Qingfeng’s side.

Qingfeng naturally recognized the elder in front of him. He was the housekeeper of the Liu Corporation. He had watched Xue Lin grew up and cared deeply about her.

“Butler Liu, I can heal people. I can wake her up,” Qingfeng said with a frown.

“Hmph, I do not believe your words. Young mistress fainted because of your words. I will not let you treat young mistress.” Fu Liu had developed deep discontent towards Qingfeng and refused to let him treat Ruyan Liu.

Fu Liu treated Ruyan Liu like her own grand-daughter. From what he could see, young mistress had fainted because of Qingfeng. He wanted to beat this fellow up. There was no way he would let him treat her. Furthermore, he did not believe that Qingfeng had medical skills.

This fellow was in his twenties. How could he have any medical skills?

“Young mistress has fainted. Who is a doctor here? Come and have a look,” Fu Liu asked the crowd anxiously.

Everyone’s gaze became heated when they heard Fu Liu’s words. If they could treat her, they would be able to come into close contact with her. If they could cure here, perhaps she would even have a favorable impression of them. This was the dream of all men.

“Bro, do you have any medical skills?”

“I don’t know how to treat people. I know how to smoke, drink and play with girls. Do you know how to treat people?”

“No, I didn’t go to medical school. How can I know how to treat people?”

The surrounding people all wanted to treat Ruyan Liu but they were not trained in medicine. They were filled with regret. If they knew this would happen, they would have gone to medical school.

“I know how to treat people.” Suddenly, a crisp voice was heard.

Fu Liu turned his head and discovered that it was a pretty girl in a green dress.

“Who are you? Do you really know how to treat people?” Fu Liu was skeptical when he saw how young the girl was.

“My name is Yanran Zhao. My father is Xu Zhao of the People’s Hospital. I have learned some medical skills from him. I can have a look at Ruyan Liu,” The pretty girl said.

“Director Xu Zhao is a famous specialist in Eastern Sea City.”

“Yes, he is reputed to have really skilled medical skills. He has even won the title of ‘outstanding doctor’.”

“Yanran Zhao is the daughter of Director Xu Zhao. She should be able to cure Ruyan Liu.”

Xu Zhao was famous in Eastern Sea City. Everyone looked at Yanran Zhao with admiration when they heard that she was Xu Zhao’s daughter.

“Alright. Have a look at young mistress and wake her up,” Fu Liu said anxiously as he quickly pulled Yanran Zhao to Ruyan Liu’s side.

At the moment, Ruyan Liu was ghastly pale. She had a deep frown and looked to be in great pain.

Yanran dared not be careless. She quickly placed her right hand on Ruyan Liu’s wrist. After a moment, her expression changed. The matter was quite difficult.

Chapter 237: The Heartbroken Ruyan Liu

 

“Congenital heart disease. It is congenital heart disease?” Yanran Zhao’s expression changed slightly. It was quite a difficult situation.

She was born in a family renowned for their medical skills. She naturally knew how difficult it was to treat congenital heart disease.

“Do you have a solution?” Fu Liu asked nervously when he saw that Yanran Zhao’s brows had furrowed.

He had placed all of his hopes on Yanran Zhao. If she could not treat the young mistress, Ruyan Liu would be in danger. Treatment for congenital heart disease must not be delayed. The longer the delay, the bigger the damage to the body.

The Young mistress was the favored daughter of the Liu Family of the Jing Captital. If anything happened to her, Fu Liu could only take his life and to ask for forgiveness.

“I am sorry. If it was an ordinary fainting, I would be able to treat her. But I cannot treat fainting secondary to congenital heart disease,” Yanran Zhao said while shaking her head.

She studied Western medicine. In western medicine, congenital heart disease required an operation to cure. But they were in a Banquet hall, not an operating room. There was nothing she could do.

Qingfeng’s heart ached when he saw Ruyan Liu’s pale face and painful expression. This woman had given him her virginity but he made her so angry that she fainted.

It was all his fault. He had wronged this woman. At this moment, Qingfeng strongly despised himself.

“Move away. I will treat her,” Qingfeng said to Fu Liu and Yanran Zhao. His voice was filled with anxiousness. He has decided to utilize his medical skills to wake Ruyan Liu up.

“She has congenital heart disease. Do you know how to treat her?” Yanran Zhao furrowed her brows in displeasure.

Fu Liu also blocked Qingfeng’s way and refused to let him treat Ruyan Liu. Clearly, he did not believe that he could cure Ruyan Liu. He also had an unfavorable impression of Qingfeng.

Qingfeng knew that the two of them did not believe him. To obtain their trust, he had to show his skills.

At that thought, Qingfeng said, “Congenital heart disease is due to a blockage of the heart and aorta during fetal development or an abnormal structure in the heart. Those with congenital heart disease must not be angered or stimulated or they will pass out.”

“Huh? You know the pathophysiology and symptoms of congenital heart disease?” Yanran Zhao blinked in surprise.

She knew that this was specialized medical knowledge that only those who studied medicine would know. Ordinary people would not have this knowledge. This meant that Qingfeng had knowledge of medicine so he was not sprouting nonsense.

“Housekeeper Liu, you saw that I really know medicine. Do you really want to see Ms. Liu die?” Qingfeng said coldly with a frown.

Fu Liu’s expression changed. Naturally, he did not want Ruyan Liu to die. He has also heard Qingfeng’s words. This fellow seemed to have medical knowledge.

For the benefit of young mistress, Fu Liu said, “Ok, I will let you treat her. But if anything happens to young mistress. I can guarantee that you will be kicked out of Eastern Sea City.”

Qingfeng disregarded Fu Liu’s threats. At the moment, he only cared about waking up Ruyan Liu. He did not take Fu Liu’s threats seriously. Furthermore, Fu threatened him only because he wanted to rescue Ruyan Liu too.

Qingfeng took a deep breath and brought out his nine silver needles. He speedily inserted the nine silver needles into pressure points on Ruyan Liu’s heart.

Yanran Zhao’s expression changed when she saw Qingfeng inserting the needles through Ruyan Liu’s clothes. Her eyes were filled with shock. Even though she was studying western medicine, she had some understanding of Chinese medicine as well. In Chinese Acupuncture, most acupuncture would require one to remove their clothes. Only highly skilled doctors could perform acupuncture on a patient who had clothes on. She had once met a doctor in his eighties who could perform acupuncture through the clothes. An ordinary doctor would not be able to do it.

“This Qingfeng Li is quite skilled,” Yanran Zhao praised in her heart.

The nine silver needles were inserted into the pressure points of Ruyan Liu’s heart and trembled slightly. This was the result of Qingfeng’s controlled actions. He had inserted the needles into special pressure points.

A thread of warmth entered into Ruyan Liu’s body via the silver needles and opened her blood vessels. The narrow vessels were dilated.

Ruyan Liu was in a lot of pain initially. But she suddenly felt warmth in her heart. Her blood flow quickened and her eyes slowly opened.

“Where am I?” Ruyan Liu asked confusedly. She has awakened after only two minutes.

Qingfeng quickly removed the nine silver needles on her heart when he saw that she was awake.

“Ruyan, you are awake,” Qingfeng said emotionally when he saw that Ruyan Liu had awaken.

Qingfeng only realized how much Ruyan Liu mattered to him when he saw her faint. This woman has taken an important position in his heart.

“I wish that I never woke up,” Ruyan Liu smiled bitterly. Her eyes were filled with pain.

She was very, very sad…

She was very sad that the man he liked was married. His wife was Xue Lin. How could she not be upset?

“I am sorry,” Qingfeng apologized as he bowed his head.

He did not know what to say and could only apologize.

“You do not need to apologize. From now on, we are strangers. Let us forget everything that has happened,” Ruyan Liu smiled bitterly as she walked away.

Her face was ghastly pale and she looked lonely. She seemed heartbroken and helpless. Ruyan Liu’s words were light. She wanted to be strangers with Qingfeng and forget everything that has happened. But could she forget everything?

How could a woman who was in love with a man forget about him easily? Especially when she was willing to give her body to him. It would be very difficult to forget him.

Qingfeng wanted to chase after Ruyan Liu when he saw her helpless figure. He even wanted to pull her into a hug to comfort her but Xue Lin pulled onto his arm.

“Husband, are you going to abandon me?” Xue Lin pleaded. Her face was pale.

She was very scared that her husband would chase Ruyan Liu. If Qingfeng went after Ruyan Liu, it meant that in his heart, Ruyan Liu was more important than her. Therefore, she stopped Qingfeng.

Qingfeng was stopped in his tracks when he saw Xue Lin’s pale face and pleading expression. He has already hurt one woman. Was he going to hurt the heart of another woman now? Of course not.

“Ok, I will not go.” Qingfeng stood at his original spot and did not chase after Ruyan Liu. But his heart was filled with pain.

He could only be by the side of one woman. He was destined to break the other woman’s heart.

“Haha, in his heart, Xue Lin is more important. He did not even chase after me. It seems like I should really forget about him.” Ruyan Liu’s face became paler and the bitterness on her face deepened.

Chapter 238: Danger Arrived as Banquet Ended

 

Ruyan Liu walked towards the center of the hall and spoke into the microphone. “The gathering has come to an end, it is time to leave everybody.”

After speaking, she left the hall with a face of loneliness, she did not even give Bernard and Baron Smith a wave.

She sat in her Maserati and laid her charming face onto the wheel and started bawling. Tear after tear, she cried uncontrollably. She was very depressed.

She knew that from that moment on, they could no longer be together. He got married and she did not want to be the third person in their relationship.

Once lovers, now strangers. She and Qingfeng Li could no longer be together.

She decided to forget about him. She was going to leave the city and go back to the Jing Capital. She did not want to stay in this place that made her so sad.

She originally wanted to date Qingfeng Li for a month before going back home and marrying that despicable Shaoyang Wang but from the looks of it, she would have to leave earlier. Eastern Sea City no longer held anything special for her.

At the moment, in the Banquet.

At this moment, in the hall, with Ruyan Liu’s announcement, people started leaving. Since Ruyan Liu was the first to leave, the task of bidding goodbyes to everybody fell on Fu Liu.

Bernard and Smith walked towards Qingfeng Li, with the intent of talking business.

“Wolf King, I have already booked tomorrow’s 7 am flight. We can leave for France.” Bernard spoke carefully as Qingfeng Li looked displeased at the moment.

Qingfeng Li nodded and agreed. “Okay, tomorrow morning. I’ll see you at the airport.”

Even though it was a sorrowful day for him, he knew that the business with Bernard is very urgent. Bernard’s father was still unconscious, waiting for his help.

With a wave, he left the hall with Xue Lin.

Both Qingfeng Li and Xue Lin had thoughts on their mind, both not feeling the happiest, thus they walked in silence. The entire ride home, they did not speak a single word.

Villa #13, inside the living room.

In their the living room of their mansion, they sat on the sofa and looked at each other, both pondering on what to say.

“You like… Ruyan Liu?” Xue Lin suddenly asked, startling Qingfeng Li. He wasn’t sure how to answer that question.

“I can tell that you like her.” Xue Lin continued when she noticed that Qingfeng Li remained silent.

Xue Lin was smart, it was easy for her to tell that he liked her. And the fact that Ruyan Liu also liked him back made Xue Lin very uncomfortable.

Qingfeng Li was her dear, her man, and for him to like another woman would make any woman unhappy.

And since Xue Lin was very much a conservative person, the type that believed in monogamy, she naturally despised any man that had feelings for multiple people at the same time.

“My wife, of course I love you.” When he saw her face ice cold, he hurriedly explained.

In his heart, he not only liked Xue Lin, but also Ruyan Liu. But he knew better to not say he liked Ruyan Liu in front of Xue Lin.

He knew that she was a frigid person and was used to hate dealing with men. Ever since they got together, it had gotten better. She would now let him hug her and kiss her.

He was scared that once Xue Lin got angry, she would revert back to the ice queen that she was before. The entire time that they had spent together would all be gone to waste then once she reverts back to her original self.

As for Ruyan Liu, he had not think of how to deal with it yet. After all, it was his first time dealing with this kind of situation as well.

“You liar, always saying such sweet words to make me happy.” Xue Lin shyly replied, clearly happy with his response.

“My wife, in my heart, you will always be the most beautiful.” Qingfeng Li commenced his sweet-talking ways, and in no time made Xue Lin quite happy.

“Dear, you should rest soon, you have to get up tomorrow morning to go the France.” Xue Lin smiled at him and turned towards the bedroom on the second floor.

The whole Ruyan Liu ordeal made her a little displeased inside despite forgiving Qingfeng Li already so instead of letting him carry her upstairs, she walked up herself.

Qingfeng Li smiled bitterly, also with a feeling of uneasiness. He walked towards his own bedroom. He knew that what he did what he did tonight to Ruyan Liu completely hurt her heart. But can he really be blamed? It wasn’t completely his fault. He was, after all, Xue Lin’s husband. If he ditched Xue Lin to chase after Ruyan Liu, it would hurt Xue Lin’s hurt. One of the two women was bound to be hurt.

He laid in bed and soon entered dreamland. In his dream, he saw the two women in front of her, their facial expressions were constantly changing in front of him.

When he grabbed Xue Lin, Ruyan Liu would become unhappy and vice versa. In his dream, he was constantly conflicted between the two women.

At that moment, in Chen family’s hot spring resort, sat 3 people. The one on the left had average height, slightly pale face and eyes flashing with strength. Wearing a coat of leopard skin, he was the Leopard King from the Leopard Continent.

The one on the right was short, had squinty eyes and was darker in skin-color. Playing with a glistening dagger in his hand, he was Rat King from Rat Continent.

The one sitting in the middle was the tallest. He had a tall nose and golden hair that slightly curled at the end. His body was very well-toned, lines well defined and screaming of power. He was the Tiger King from the Tiger Continent.

“Tiger King, are you sure you want to kidnap Xue Lin?” The Leopard King frowned as he asked.

“Yes, I did my research. Xue Lin is the Wolf King’s wife. The Wolf King here really is in love with this moment.” Tiger King toyed with two steel balls in his hand as he coldly replied.

The Rat King on the right and pondered out “We are the kings of our continents. To kidnap a woman, isn’t that a little beneath us?”.

In all honesty, Rat King was not happy with the idea of kidnapping Xue Lin. Even though he hated Wolf King, he did not want to take revenge via kidnapping a woman.

“Rat King, your courage is as small as before I see. No wonder in the 7 kings, you rank last.” Leopard King looked down on the Rat King with a touch of distain.

His words angered Rat King as he retorted, “Leopard King, you think you’re so much better? Why don’t you go kill Wolf King then? Having stayed in Eastern Sea City for so long, other than hiding in the dark, what else have you achieved?”

The two bickering angered Tiger King too and he spoke “Leopard King, Rat King, why don’t you both shut up? Let me ask you, if I ask you to take down wolf king, are you guys his opponents?”

His words stopped the two. They knew that Wolf King was ranked number one amongst them all. On one-on-one fights, based on pure skill, none of them were his opponent. They would be looking for death if they were to seek for it.

“Humph, none of us can beat him. So the only way is for us to kidnap Xue Lin and set up a trap. We could tie a bomb onto her, lure him into the mountains that way, and then kill him there.” Tiger Wolf smiled coldly as he laid out his plans.

“But Tiger King, the Wolf King is still in Eastern Sea City. For sure he will protect Xue Lin. How are we even to kidnap her and have time to set up for a trap?” Rat King thought through it and voiced out his concerns.

Tiger King smiled in return and answered “Don’t worry, he will be leaving tomorrow morning at 7 in order to go to France to save Bernard’s father. That’s when we go and kidnap Xue Lin and set up everything.”

Tiger King had been underground in Eastern Sea City for quite awhile. In the time that he was there, he was able to both gather information on Qingfeng Li and also get his underlings to cause havoc for Qingfeng Li’s friends abroad in Frnace.

He knew that the Wolf King was very close to Bernard so he had people poison Bernard’s father. Once Bernard’s father got poisoned, Bernard would have to seek help from Wolf King. The moment Wolf King left for France was the moment of opportunity for the Tiger King.

He knew that with his abilities, he was no match for the Wolf King. The only way for him to win was to get Qingfeng Li to leave the place, kidnap Xue Lin, and lure the Wolf King into his trap.

Chapter 239: Wife Cooking Breakfast

 

The next day, Qingfeng woke up at six in the morning. The winter morning before dawn seemed especially cold with some hazy mist floating in the air.

He had promised Bernard that today he would go to France to treat Bernard’s father at seven o’clock in the morning. That’s why he got up at six o’clock, an hour prior, so that he could have some breakfast.

Qingfeng walked to the kitchen and was ready to look for some food, but found someone cooking in the kitchen.

Xue Lin woke up very early today, around five o’clock in the morning. It was her first time waking up that early. Xue’s face was white as snow, crystal as jade, and was wearing a white pajama, which showed off her stunning figure to perfection.

Xue boiled the water and was ready to make a poached egg. It was her first time making poached eggs, as well as the first time she was cooking for a man.

Oh, no, this was her second time cooking for a man. The last time when Qingfeng got injured, Xue made stewed ginseng soup for him, but that ginseng was overcooked.

This time around, Xue learned the lessons from that stewed ginseng and poured a lot of water in the pot before adding the eggs. However, now that she put too much water, the eggs scattered directly into the egg flowers.

Looking at a pot of egg flowers, Xue almost shed tears and her contained glamorous face turned into a crestfallen one. She knew that Qingfeng had to go to France at seven. Therefore, she got up early, prepared to make a special meal for her husband. She never thought that she would fail again.

Last time, too little water turned the stewed ginseng into a charred one. This time, too much water turned the poached eggs into egg flowers. Xue felt like a failure and was a little frustrated.

“Honey, what are you making?” Qingfeng Li walked up to Xue, asked with a smile on his face.

Hearing the words from Qingfeng, Xue blushed and was a bit embarrassed, “I was going to make poached eggs for you.”

Poached egg! Emm, good stuff! He loved eating poached eggs! Qingfeng thought with a smile appeared on his face. He looked towards the pot with the expectation of seeing one of his favorite food, but only saw half a pot of boiled water and the egg flowers in the stainless steel pot. He was a bit speechless.

This was poached eggs? No, these were egg flowers…. Qingfeng didn’t know how to describe Xue.

To be honest, Xue Lin was beautiful, smart and was the CEO of Ice Snow Corporation. She was charming and talented, had both appearance and intelligence. However, her cooking skills were, at best, mediocre.

It was safe for Qingfeng to say that, in terms of cooking, any woman could do better than Xue.

No wonder there’s an ancient saying, “Every bean has its black”.

Nobody was perfect. God gave Xue the beauty and brains but took her cooking skills away.

“Dear, am I stupid?” Seeing Qingfeng being silent, Xue asked carefully and felt very embarrassed.

She felt so clumsy, being Qingfeng Li’s wife and didn’t even know how to cook. Even something as simple as poached eggs could be turned to egg flowers in her hands.

“I am loser…” she sighed.

“Xue, you are so dumb. You can’t even conquer poached egg…” she criticized herself.

“Actually you’re not that dumb. At least you know that you need to boil the water first before adding the eggs, and not using cold water directly.” Qingfeng smiled and placated her.

Xue Lin was alright before he tried to comfort her. And after he tried comforting her, she blushed even more. “What? How can someone add eggs to cold water? Even kindergarten kids know that…”

But then Xue admitted that she truly has no talent for cooking and hardly had any cooking skills.

Xue was born into a rich family and was treated as a little princess. Her nanny took care of all the meals and her mom never let her prepare any food, that’s why she never learned how to cook.

Cooking a meal was even harder than managing a company for her, but she still got up early and tried to make breakfast just for Qingfeng.

“Sorry, I wanted to make breakfast for you, but ruined it instead. Please don’t get mad.” Xue lowered her tiny head, like an elementary school student who made mistake.

“No, not at all, honey. You got up at five and cooked for me. I feel so touched. How could I be mad at you?” Qingfeng went up to her, laughed and hugged her.

Qingfeng was telling the truth. He was indeed very touched by Xue getting up this early at five o’clock in the cold winter morning just to cook for him.

A woman that could bear with the cold and cook for a man in the early morning showed that she liked the man so much that it wasn’t important anymore to care about whether she could make a decent meal.

Xue felt warm and cozy in Qingfeng’s arms. She raised her head and asked, “Dear, how long would you be gone to France? I really don’t want to let you go.”

Seeing the attachment and tenderness in Xue’s eyes, Qingfeng felt the warmth of her love. It felt good to be cared for such a woman.

“Two days, I’ll be back after two days,” Qingfeng said softly.

It takes twelve hours from Eastern Sea City International Airport to Paris, France, and twenty-four hours for the round trip. That would be exactly one day. He also needed to treat Bernard’s father in France for another day and that amounted to two days in total.

“Two days? That will be a long time… I will miss you!” Xue didn’t want Qingfeng to leave. Xue couldn’t bear to part with Qingfeng now and she couldn’t endure a day without seeing Qingfeng.

Xue didn’t know that she had already fallen in love with Qingfeng and this feeling was called love. Only when a woman fell in love with a man would she be thinking about him day and night and want to spend every single day together.

“Dear, let me start doing this poached egg all over again.”

“It’s okay, we are already running out of time. I’m fine with these egg flowers.”

“But these egg flowers were all scattered. It wouldn’t taste good with so much water in it…”

“It’s okay. I’ll enjoy it as long as you made it.” Qingfeng smiled, filled a bowl of egg flowers and finished it.

The egg flower soup actually didn’t taste so well. But Xue made it with all her heart and attention, therefore, Qingfeng still finished it. He didn’t want to waste her affection and effort.

“Honey, I will leave soon. Let’s have a French kiss.” Qingfeng smiled slightly, grabbed Xue’s tiny waist and put her in his arms. That slim waist was supple and smooth, like soft cotton.

“Bad boy, this is the kitchen…” Xue’s gorgeous face blushed like a ripe red apple. Her watery eyes were just like the stars shining in the sky.

“I love the kitchen.” Qingfeng stretched his mouth over to taste her cherry-red lips — soft, sweet and savory, just like Dove chocolate, very delicious.

Boohoo…such a bad boy, taking advantage of me in the kitchen. Xue Lin made whining sounds with her little mouth and could do nothing but let Qingfeng kiss her.

Qingfeng kissed her for a long time, and only let her go when he realized that she was almost out of breath.

Woo!!

Xue Lin had to immediately breathe after she was let out from his arms. She felt suffocated for a moment.

Xue Lin felt her lips became swollen after being kissed by Qingfeng. She looked in a mirror and saw that her delicate cherry lips were indeed swollen up. She became chapfallen and glared at Qingfeng.

Chapter 240: Kidnapping Xue Lin

 

“Oh, crap, it’s half past six now! I was busy kissing you, and now there’s only half an hour before the plane takes off.” Qingfeng Li caught a glimpse of the clock on the wall, and immediately uttered a cry.

“Dear, let’s go! I’ll drive you.” Xue Lin also knew the time was urgent and urged Qingfeng to leave.

Xue went back to the bedroom, put on a white business outfit, and then drove Qingfeng to the Eastern Sea City International Airport with a BMW. When Qingfeng arrived at the Eastern Sea City International Airport, Bernard and Smith had been there waiting for him.

“Your Highness the Wolf King, you have finally arrived! It’s time to board. The plane will take off soon.” Bernard said, looking worried.

After all, his father was still in the coma and was waiting for Qingfeng to save his life.

Qingfeng nodded and walked towards the plane with Bernard and Baron Smith.

“Dear, I love you, please come back early.” Xue stuck her white and tender hands out and said, waving Qingfeng goodbye. Her eyes were moist with tears.

It was her first time separating with Qingfeng, which made her feel extremely sad and wistful. Seeing Qingfeng’s back while boarding made her heart feel miserable.

“Don’t worry! I’ll come back early!” Looking at the tears on Xue’s face, Qingfeng was moved so he turned back and shouted out. Afterward, Qingfeng went on the plane together with Bernard and Baron Smith. Ten minutes later, the plane took off and headed towards Paris, France.

“My dear, I’ll definitely learn to cook well these two days. So when you come back, I can make you a nice meal.” Xue looked at the aircraft that was gradually disappearing into the sky and whispered to herself.

She decided to take advantage of these two days and master how to cook so that she can prepare delicious food for Qingfeng. Xue didn’t turn and walked towards her BMW until she saw the plane had completely disappeared in the sky and she could not see any trace of it anymore.

Xue Lin drove to the company. When she was passing by a bookstore, she stopped her car and entered the bookstore.

The owner of the bookstore was around 40 years old, a middle-aged woman.

Seeing Xue walked in, the lady smiled and asked, “Hi beauty, what kind of books do you want to buy?”

“Hello, I want to buy some books for cooking. Could you give me some recommendations?” It was Xue’s first time here and she didn’t know what kind of books is good for cooking, so she could only rely on recommendations from the owner.

“We have the most comprehensive cooking books here. We have the ‘Food Encyclopedia’, ‘100 ways of noodles’, ‘100 rice recipes’, ‘100 hot dishes and cold dishes recipes’ and the like.” The owner was recommending books enthusiastically to Xue.

“Hi, it was my first time here. Can you just recommend me a general book for cooking?”

“Beauty, are you cooking for your husband?”

“Hmm, yes.”

“Awe, you are such a virtuous wife. I’ve rarely seen a woman buying cooking books just to cook for her husband. Here, I recommend the ‘Food Encyclopedia’. This book is the most comprehensive one, including not only the recipes for main dishes but also hot dishes and cold dishes.”

The owner praised Xue Lin with smiles on her face. She thought the girl in front of her was so beautiful. She has never seen anyone prettier than this girl, not even the celebrities on TV. Her husband must be so lucky having her.

“Alright, I will buy this ‘Food Encyclopedia’ then.” Xue smiled, paid a hundred Yuan and bought the ‘Food Encyclopedia’.

She would like to learn how to cook so that she could prepare delicious meals for Qingfeng. She was now caring for Qingfeng full-heartedly and wanted to be his virtuous wife.

Xue came to the company and directly went to the CEO’s office. For a whole day, besides eating, she had been concentrating on studying this ‘Food Encyclopedia’. She hadn’t even dealt with the work-related documents.

‘Food Encyclopedia’ introduced about the main dishes, noodles, rice, as well as fried dishes and cold dishes recipes in great details.

Xue learned about many dishes today, such as Scrambled Eggs with Tomatoes, Spicy and Sour Shredded Potatoes, Black Fungus in Vinegar Sauce and Marinated Cucumbers. She decided to go to the supermarket to buy those vegetables after work, and apply what she had learned into practice. In this way, when Qingfeng came back, he would be able to taste the dishes that she learned today.

Thinking about her husband tasting the food she prepared, her heart was filled with happiness.

Meanwhile, in the parking lot of the Ice Snow Corporation, there was a black Mercedes with four people in the car: The Tiger King, the Panther King, the Rat King and the “Young Master Chen”, Haiyang Chen.

“Tiger King, the Wolf King has left Eastern Sea city, right?” The Rat King frowned as he asked.

Hearing what the Rat King just said, the Tiger King smiled slightly, “You are such a coward! I’ve got the news that the Wolf King had flown out of Eastern Sea city at seven o’clock in the morning today. He should be arriving France soon.”

“That’s good! As long as he’s not in the Eastern Sea city, we can kidnap Xue Lin, set up the trap, and then wait for him to take the bait. ” The Rat King said viciously with a murderous glint in his eyes.

The Tiger King did not pay any attention to what the Rat King just said. Instead, he talked to Haiyang Chen who was driving, “You know Xue Lin right?”

“Of course, Tiger King Highness, I know Xue Lin.” Haiyang said with a respectful look on his flattering face.

Haiyang Chen’s family businesses were all supported by the Tiger King. Their company was also invested by the Tiger King. It could be said that the Tiger King had control of all the businesses under Chen’s name. Therefore, the man in front of him was his own master.

“Oh, that would be nice. You let us know when Xue Lin comes to the parking lot. “The Tiger King took a glance at Haiyang Chen and said.

“Yes, Tiger King Highness.” Haiyang ingratiated himself to the Tiger King with a highly respectful face.

Time flew and it was the evening rush hour in just a blink of an eye.

Xue Lin put the ‘Food Encyclopedia’ in the bag, and walked out. She was going to do some grocery shopping, practice cooking, and then wait for her husband to come back and eat.

Xue Lin felt something wrong was soon as she walked out into the parking lot. A black Mercedes-Benz drove straight towards her.

“Tiger King Highness, that pretty woman in a white business outfit is Xue Lin.” Haiyang Chen pointed at Xue Lin and said to the Tiger King behind him.

What a beautiful woman! Looking at Xue Lin’s glamorous face, fair skin, and stunning figure, Tiger King’s eyes flashed with surprise. He never thought that Wolf King’s wife would be so gorgeous.

Joy beamed from Tiger King’s eyes and he said, “Stop the car beside her.”

Hearing the command of Tiger King, Haiyang quickly drove the Mercedes, stopped by Xue Lin, and said, “Xue, long time no see.”

Xue Lin lost countenance when she saw Haiyang Chen in the car. She said drily, “Don’t call me Xue. I was not familiar with you. Why are you here?”

Hearing Xue Lin said they were not familiar, Haiyang’s eyes flashed with a touch of anger. This little bitch dared to look down on him, not letting him call her Xue. Huh! You shall see what I’ll do to you once I caught you!

Bang!

Tiger King directly opened the door and walked quickly toward Xue Lin.

“Who are you? What do you want to do?” Seeing the vicious Tiger King, Xue Lin felt something was wrong and asked drily.

The man in front of her was strapping, about 1.9-meter tall, with white skin, blonde curly hair, and blue eyes. It took her just a glance to know that he is a foreigner whom Xue Lin didn’t know.

“To kidnap you, of course.” The Tiger King said coldly.

Hearing him say he was going to kidnap her, Xue Lin’s contained face turned pale. She quickly turned back and was ready to run away.

However, as Xue Lin turned around, her head was suddenly smacked by the Tiger King. She lost consciousness immediately.

Xue Lin felt despair the moment before she was knocked out. “Oh, crap! I was kidnapped.”

“Huh, do you think you can still get away? “Tiger King smiled grimly, throwing the unconscious Xue Lin into the car.

Boom!

Haiyang Chen turned the car key. The car’s engine roared as he drove out of the underground parking lot and sped off with Xue Lin.
