Chapter 125 Who's Jealous of You!
Back at Wanfu Building.
Qin Feng holed up in the office, laid out the map of Lake City, and began to mark the divination hexagrams, five elements, and their orientations. He then used those markings to design the layout for the neighborhood construction on that piece of land.
He was busy until the next morning when he finally finished the map. Yawning, he called Wei Yunxiang over and said, "I'm handing this project over to you."
"Yes!"
Wei Yunxiang nodded.
There were two reasons for choosing her. First, since the land was provided by Feng Guoqiang, it was inappropriate to involve him again.
Second, Wei Yunxiang's accumulated relationships and networks over the years were second to none. Although she was not familiar with real estate projects, since they were contracted out anyway, she could mobilize her connections to complete it better and faster.
Having settled these matters.
Su Ruolan called to say she had arrived at the train station. Only then did Qin Feng realize it was already 7:30 in the morning. He hurriedly said, "Sorry, I was delayed by some matters, I'll be right at the train station."
The two met at the station.
Su Ruolan wore a white t-shirt and light blue jeans, looking youthful and pretty. Different from the usual air of an immortal genius in medicine, she resembled a striking university student.
Of course, she was indeed a university student, except her medical skills were already beyond the need to attend classes. She even often lectured as an expert.
"I brought you breakfast."
Su Ruolan handed Qin Feng a hot, freshly ground soy milk.
Qin Feng had indeed not eaten anything, so he graciously drank it up.
"Also, I still want to apologize for how my grandfather treated you before. He did that because he was afraid my love life would cause a mental disturbance and trigger my condition, intending to deliberately provoke you..." Su Ruolan said with embarrassment.
"It's alright, I've already forgotten about that incident. I'm just grateful that you could help me gather medicinal herbs," Qin Feng said while drinking the soy milk.
Su Ruolan felt better hearing this. She had been worried all this time that Qin Feng would have a poor opinion of her because of the harsh words her grandfather had spoken. Fortunately, his generosity of heart was much greater than that of most people.
"Let's go! Let's head into the station!"
Qin Feng said.
"Oh."
Su Ruolan replied. Thinking about going out with him made her heart thump uncontrollably, filled with inexplicable joy.
At this moment.
Qin Feng's phone rang. It was a call from Xu Yunxiao.
Su Ruolan tensed up, as if feeling guilty like a thief, and stood up to go to the restroom, letting Qin Feng answer the call.
"Hello, wife, what's up?" Qin Feng said.
"Why didn't you call me last night?" The voice on the other end, Xu Yunxiao, seemed somewhat unhappy.
Qin Feng quickly showed his concern, "What happened?"
"…Nothing."
Xu Yunxiao pouted.
Ever since the last celebration banquet when Qin Feng was kicked out of the house, he hadn't been living at home. However, he would call Xu Yunxiao every night to say goodnight. Because he was busy with the divination chart until morning yesterday, he missed calling her.
This left Xu Yunxiao tossing and turning all night.
She had unconsciously gotten used to Qin Feng's calls. Suddenly not receiving his call that night made her feel uncomfortable. She wanted to call him, but couldn't bring herself to lower her pride, so she ended up with a sleepless night.
Until dawn.
She realized she was starting to miss Qin Feng.
Moreover.
She suspected that Qin Feng had not mentioned moving back home recently because he might find sleeping in a bed outside more comfortable than sleeping on the floor at home, which might be why he seemed less and less eager to return.
The more she thought about it, the worse she felt inside, and so she called him.
"I think my mom has cooled off enough these past few days. Come home tonight!" Xu Yunxiao hesitated, then pressed her lips tightly together before saying, "When you come back, as long as you behave, I'll let you sleep in the bed."
"What?!"
Qin Feng shivered with excitement, overjoyed.
This great news came so suddenly that he felt like he was dreaming.
"Just tell me if you're willing or not!"
"Of course, I'm willing, haha…"
Qin Feng became excited.
On the other end of the phone, Xu Yunxiao could tell from his joy, and her heart felt sweet too.
In fact, she had attempted several times to let him sleep on the bed.
But each time she suggested it, seeing his "hungry wolf" like eyes, she decisively refused.
"However, I am on a business trip outside... and it'll be a few days before I can return."
Qin Feng said after his excitement.
"Business trip? With whom? A female colleague?" Xu Yunxiao asked with a subconscious vigilance.
"Are you jealous?"
"Get lost! Who, who's jealous of you? That's all for now! Hurry back after you finish your work!"
Xu Yunxiao hung up the phone in embarrassed fury.
She muttered to herself, only a ghost would be jealous of him; although he is super lucky, he lacks ambition, and she hasn't fully accepted him yet, how could she possibly be jealous? He's such a self-conceited guy!
But then... why the panic just now?
Could it be that she really felt jealous?
Upon this thought.
Xu Yunxiao felt her heart flutter...
At the station entrance.
Su Ruolan came back, and seeing that Qin Feng had finished the call, said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Sister Yunxiao will surely be angry if she finds out!"
"It's okay, we don't have anything going on."
Qin Feng said indifferently.
A hint of a bitter smile flashed across Su Ruolan's face.
Indeed!
She was just going to handle business with him, and there was truly nothing between them…
Upon boarding the train.
The two were immediately stunned by the scene before them.
The train carriage was packed with people, even the narrow aisles were jammed, leaving no space for their feet.
"I'm so sorry, I didn't know there would be so many people, there were no other tickets available, only hard seats."
Su Ruolan said apologetically.
They were heading to the Dragon Mountain Black Market, located in a remote area of the Southwest. Departing from Lake City, there were no planes or high-speed trains available, only a daily regular express train, and it was considered lucky to even get a ticket.
"It's no problem for me, but I feel a bit sorry for you."
Qin Feng stated.
Su Ruolan was not just as beautiful as the moon, she also possessed a tranquil and graceful demeanor, with a fairy-like aura, making her appear utterly out of place in the bustling hard-seat carriage.
It was like a beautiful princess arriving in the countryside.
Her presence immediately drew the gaze of countless men in the carriage, all staring at her with widened eyes like hungry wolves, some even taking advantage of the crowd to pretend to be pushed helplessly so they could intentionally rub against her.
But for some reason, there seemed to be a protective barrier around her. As soon as they got close, they were bounced back and squeezed away, unable to take the slightest advantage.
Su Ruolan could also feel this powerful aura protecting her.
Looking up.
She could clearly sense that this powerful aura was emanating from Qin Feng.
At this moment, Qin Feng, though still lean, felt towering and majestic, like a colossal giant standing tall between heaven and earth…
After a while.
The two finally squeezed to their own seats.
Su Ruolan turned her head and glanced around at the surrounding people, then asked Qin Feng with a suspicion, "Do you know them? They seem to... look at you with some resentment."
"They are envious."
Qin Feng said jokingly with a smile, "Envious that I have a peerless beauty sitting next to me."
"..."
Su Ruolan's seemingly expressionless cheeks were as beautiful as the fiery clouds at dusk.
Her heart also "thumped" with beats…
