Su Zi pouted, dragging the equally disgruntled Ning Aoxue out of the Fenghuo Bar. They went to Ning Aoxue's car parked across the street, then stopped and turned to look at the bar's entrance, waiting for Lin Feng to appear…

However, dashing Su Zi's eager anticipation, it was a sheepishly grinning Lu Pengju who scratched his head as he walked out of the Fenghuo Bar. He awkwardly greeted the two, "Miss Ning, Miss Su, ahem, Master is... temporarily tied up with something…"

"Hmph!" Su Zi's pout deepened in dissatisfaction. Glaring at Lu Pengju, redirecting some of her anger, she complained petulantly, "Why did you come out? Who asked you to meddle, Dapeng!"

"I... I was ordered to protect you two..." Lu Pengju said helplessly, shrinking his head and lowering his voice… Master, oh Master, I'm taking the blame for you on this one... If you have any ultimate secret techniques hidden away, you better not keep them from me in the future!

"Who asked you to protect us?!" Su Zi glared fiercely at Lu Pengju, demanding angrily, "Can you take your master's place? Hmph!"

"That, of course, I can't replace him..." Lu Pengju said helplessly. "But it's Master's order, so I can't do anything about it…"

"You..." Su Zi was rendered speechless by this big oaf. How could someone as cunning as Lin Feng have such an honest, simple-minded apprentice...

"Forget it, A'zi, let's head back first…" Hearing Lu Pengju say Lin Feng was still busy, a flicker of disappointment also crossed Ning Aoxue's face. She suggested somewhat dejectedly.

"Hmph… Lin Feng, that big scoundrel, I'll make you regret this sooner or later…" Su Zi shot a glare toward the Fenghuo Bar and said furiously.

Hearing Su Zi's words, Lu Pengju could only manage a bitter smile; there was nothing else he could say or do.

Once Ning Aoxue and Su Zi got into the white BMW and started the car, Lu Pengju quickly followed, hopping into the back seat. The two women had just been harassed not long ago, so Lu Pengju didn't dare let Ning Aoxue and Su Zi leave alone.

Ning Aoxue shot Lu Pengju a fierce glare in the rearview mirror but said nothing more, merely letting out a soft, cold hmph before quickly driving back to the Jincheng residential area.

After Su Zi and Ning Aoxue returned to the villa, they went straight to their rooms without a word, leaving a solitary Lu Pengju in the living room, watching TV. Fortunately, Lu Pengju was accustomed to the disciplined life of the barracks; watching TV wasn't actually boring for him.

「About half an hour later」

Headlights lit up the entrance of the villa; Lin Feng had finally returned.

Lu Pengju eagerly went out to greet him, only to be stunned by the sight before him. Xue Qingyi was clinging to Lin Feng's arm as he stepped out of the car. She was acting like a delicate, dependent lover, swaying with each step as they walked towards the villa…

"Ah…" Seeing Lin Feng and Xue Qingyi acting so affectionately, Lu Pengju gasped in alarm. Master actually brought Mistress Xue back with him! This is going to be a huge mess!

As Lu Pengju thought this, he distinctly felt a murderous aura envelop him from behind. Turning, he indeed saw Su Zi on the second-floor balcony, her soul-devouring gaze fixed on the scene below. The chilling killing intent was enough to make one's heart pound in panic…

Damn, I can't get involved in this kind of thing. Better just sneak back to my room and sleep... Having made up his mind, Lu Pengju ducked his head and, without even greeting Lin Feng, scurried back to his room…

"Qingyi, you've walked me this far, that should be enough, right…" Lin Feng, of course, saw Lu Pengju's subtle retreat. Spotting Su Zi on the second-floor balcony as well, how could he not know what that fellow Lu Pengju was thinking? He felt a mix of resentment and envy: resentment that the kid was so disloyal, abandoning him at such a moment, and envy that Lu Pengju could just slip away whenever he wanted. As for himself, no matter how difficult things got, he had to grit his teeth and bear it…

"Hmm? You don't want me to enter this house?" Xue Qingyi leaned close to Lin Feng's ear, her beautiful eyes carrying an enchanting smile as she asked softly, "Are you afraid they'll bully me, or are you afraid I'll beat them up?"

"Not at all, I wasn't thinking about any of that…" Facing Xue Qingyi's aggressive questioning, Lin Feng could only brace himself and force a smile, feigning nonchalance. However, his current smile was probably uglier than a grimace…

"Or is it that you have a guilty conscience, don't dare to admit I'm your woman, and don't dare to take me inside?" Xue Qingyi asked again with a playful smile.

"No such thing!" Lin Feng flatly denied, then could only say helplessly, "Go wherever you like. I don't mind…"

It turned out that Xue Qingyi and Zhou Yang had already purchased Villas No. 1 and No. 3 in the Jincheng residential area. The two houses flanked the Ning Family Villa, each no more than five or six meters away. In other words, whether Xue Qingyi lived in Villa No. 1 or No. 3, she was Lin Feng's neighbor…

Her returning with Lin Feng this time was merely along the way… The problem was, that girl Su Zi didn't know about this. Lin Feng knew that if Su Zi saw him walking towards the villa with Xue Qingyi on his arm, she would definitely jump to the wrong conclusions…

However, this was precisely Xue Qingyi's goal. Although Lin Feng felt it was a difficult situation, he couldn't very well refuse Xue Qingyi's request with righteous indignation…

"Then that's settled. Take me to see your room first…" A triumphant smile appeared on Xue Qingyi's face as she said sweetly.

Lin Feng sighed silently. He could only grit his teeth and lead Xue Qingyi into Villa No. 3 of the Jincheng residential area…

"What a pair of shameless adulterers!" Su Zi, who had been watching Lin Feng's every move from the second-floor window, gritted her teeth and spat fiercely…

"Su Zi, what are you saying?" Ning Aoxue, having just finished her shower and emerged from the bathroom wrapped in a bath towel, vaguely heard Su Zi speaking. She couldn't quite make out the words and asked curiously.

"Lin Feng… Lin Feng, he brought that woman back to the villa!" Su Zi spoke to Ning Aoxue, almost hysterically. Compared to Ning Aoxue's composure, Su Zi's animosity towards Xue Qingyi was completely undisguised…

Hearing Su Zi's words, Ning Aoxue visibly froze. Her hand slackened, and the towel she was using to dry her hair slipped and fell to the floor…

Although Ning Aoxue had been constantly suppressing her feelings for Lin Feng, she knew that the woman named Xue Qingyi had clearly seen through her. That was why Xue Qingyi had deliberately bragged about her sweet past with Lin Feng in front of her and Su Zi, intentionally trying to anger her…

From their time in the private room at the Fenghuo Bar, Ning Aoxue had been enduring it, deliberately ignoring Xue Qingyi. But now, at this very moment… that woman, Xue Qingyi, had actually followed Lin Feng back to the villa…

Ning Aoxue felt her bottom line had been challenged!

"A'zi, does she think we're easy to bully?" Ning Aoxue proudly lifted her head, looked at Su Zi with a confident expression, and asked coolly.
