The Magnificent Son-in-law

Xiao Feng turned around, and unexpectedly, Du Linlang stepped forward, pushing Xiao Feng against the door. One hand rested on the door frame, while the other traced circles on his chest with her index finger, her breath fragrant like orchids as she said, "Kiss me."

As she spoke, she leaned in suddenly, without waiting for Xiao Feng to react.

However, just as their lips were about to touch, Xiao Feng tilted his head, avoiding Du Linlang's red lips, and chuckled lightly, "So eager, no foreplay or anything?"

"If that's what you like, of course." Du Linlang chuckled sweetly, yet she firmly refused to take a step back, remaining in close proximity to Xiao Feng.

"Give me a reason," Xiao Feng said lightly. "While I don't mind something happening between us, your impatience right off the bat is something I can't quite understand."

Du Linlang laughed slightly, "It seems you're not very confident in your charm. Haven't you heard of love at first sight?"

Xiao Feng did not reply, merely gazing into Du Linlang's eyes, with a piercing look sharp as a sword, as if capable of seeing through all falsehoods and disguises.

Du Linlang's heart skipped a beat, and for a moment, she felt an inexplicable sense of guilt that made her dare not continue meeting his gaze!

Fortunately, Du Linlang wasn't an ordinary person, she quickly adjusted her mentality, her eyes lowered as she said, "Since childhood, Du Qingyue was adored by the family elders, and no matter what achievements I made, they were never acknowledged."

"Even now, she's ahead of me in marriage, why?!"

After saying this, she abruptly raised her head, her gaze fixed on Xiao Feng's eyes, as if demanding an answer.

Of course, these words were fabricated, for Du Linlang was like a dazzling star in the Du Family.

Moreover, she had always been proud, if it weren't for Du Qingyue taking over as the president of the Lanyue Group, she probably wouldn't have given her a second thought.

However, this questioning at the moment seemed almost plausible.

Xiao Feng thought for a moment and replied, "Maybe she's just lucky, meeting such a handsome partner like me ahead of everyone else."

Du Linlang was taken aback by his words, a hint of disgust flashed in her eyes, his narcissism really made one want to slap him.

But Du Linlang managed to conceal her distaste well, playing along she said, "So, I no longer want to endure this unfairness. If you're willing, I can always be your secret lover. I don't want any status, just half of Du Qingyue's man's heart."

Du Linlang looked imploringly at Xiao Feng, her eyes even carried a hint of sincerity, yet inwardly she was determined: I refuse to believe I can't win you over!

"Hearing you say that makes it harder for me to comprehend," Xiao Feng said with some amusement, "You're willing to be my secret lover just to compete with Du Qingyue?"

Du Linlang was getting anxious, she undid a few buttons of her collar and said coyly, "Do these things really matter between us?"

Xiao Feng silently cursed her as a seductress in his heart, feeling a bit regretful at the same time.

If he hadn't married Du Qingyue yet and encountered Du Linlang's open temptation, Xiao Feng might have accepted it, but now clearly it's not possible.

It's known that making Shen Tianze uncomfortable was Xiao Feng's true goal. To really do something with Du Linlang, never mind what Du Qingyue might do, he'd certainly be caught in the turbulent waters of the Du Family.

If that happens and Du Linlang uses it as leverage to stage a media assault with Shen Tianze, Xiao Feng and Du Qingyue's reputations would be completely tarnished.

Upon realizing this, Xiao Feng dodged Du Linlang's advances, sat behind the desk and said, "I'm relatively reserved, let me think this over."

Du Linlang was furious, having gone this far and you're still pretending to be Liu Xiahui?

Reserved? Why didn't you say reserved earlier when you were being so narcissistic?!

However, since Xiao Feng didn't completely reject her, Du Linlang didn't want to burn bridges entirely. She suppressed her anger with all her might, then forced a smile, saying, "Alright, I'll wait for you, as long as it takes!"

With that, she opened the door, only to find Du Qingyue and Jiang Yixin standing outside.

Du Linlang's eyes shifted, she feigned panic and began fastening her collar buttons, "Qingyue, don't misunderstand, the air-conditioning was blowing too hard, blowing them open, I'm leaving now."

Xiao Feng was instantly baffled, how strong would the wind have to be to blow open the buttons?

Wait!

Something's not right, this woman is deliberately making Du Qingyue misunderstand.

Sure enough, Du Qingyue's face turned frosty, she glanced coldly at Xiao Feng and left without uttering a word.

Although Du Qingyue left, Jiang Yixin clearly was furious, she stormed in, slamming down the file she held onto the desk, "Xiao Feng, I never thought you could do such a thing. I misjudged you!"

After shouting, Jiang Yixin left angrily, leaving Xiao Feng speechless in the office.

Thinking carefully, it wasn't surprising that Du Qingyue and Jiang Yixin misunderstood.

After all, when the door was opened, Du Linlang's face was blushed and her clothes were disheveled, making it easy to imagine something, along with her parting words which sounded like an attempt to cover up her panicked state, reinforcing Du Qingyue and Jiang Yixin's suspicions.

But Du Qingyue and Jiang Yixin had no way of knowing that Du Linlang's flushed face was due to being angered by Xiao Feng, not as some aftermath of something intimate.

At this moment, Xiao Feng felt a little speechless, having unexpectedly been played by that woman, it was indeed a great humiliation.

Just then, within a manor situated halfway up a mountain, covering hundreds of acres, an elderly man, with hair and beard all white, stood on the balcony conversing with a middle-aged man in a suit.

The elderly man named Du Qingyun was the current Patriarch of the Du Family, while the middle-aged man was his eldest son, Du Feixiang.

Du Linlang was precisely Du Feixiang's daughter, and this expansive manor naturally belonged to the Du Family.

"What reaction from Qingyue over there?" Du Qingyun asked, looking ahead, from here, he could overlook the entire Jiangcheng.

"Linlang just sent word saying that after hearing your statement, Qingyue didn't have a particularly intense reaction." Despite the surge of joy in his heart, Du Feixiang spoke with a hint of sadness, "That girl Qingyue has sacrificed so much for the Lanyue Group, doing this to her is indeed somewhat cruel."

"There's nothing cruel or uncruel about it," Du Qingyun said loudly, "Those who achieve greatness shouldn't care about such trivialities. Qingyue's stubborn and tough nature never admits defeat, which is both good and not good."

Pausing for a moment, Du Qingyun continued, "However, Linlang is different. She can be strong like a tiger, but also soft like a lamb. Having her in charge of the Lanyue Group, I believe will further enhance the existing foundation."

Du Feixiang's brows revealed a hint of joy, his tone remained as calm as possible saying, "Father's appraisal of Linlang is too high, she's still a child, she needs some tempering."
