Chapter 294: All You Can Do Is Reminisce
"Okay, hot water, let me see, sorry Mr. Song, it seems we have a power outage here."
Ren Feng said to Song Ziwen.
Power outage?
Song Ziwen looked up at the lit chandelier above, where's the power outage? Are you lying with your eyes wide open or what?
"Oh, Mr. Song, you don't need to look, that circuit is independent, the kitchen's circuit is a different one. Oh, Mr. Song, you really have no insight, don't you get it?"
Ren Feng shook his head.
Song Ziwen's face twitched a little, "I won't drink anymore."
"Come on, no hot water but there's cold water. Let me check, yeah, there's no water outage, I'll get you a glass of cold water, just make do with it."
Then, Ren Feng poured a glass of cold water and placed it on the table.
"Please, Mr. Song."
Ren Feng said with a smile.
Song Ziwen glanced at the glass of water, smiled and shook his head, "Forget it, I'm not that thirsty, thank you for your kindness, but I won't drink."
"Ah, you really are no fun, and here I was kindly pouring water for you." Ren Feng shook his head.
Song Ziwen took a deep breath, doubting he would be driven mad by this guy.
"Mr. Song, do you want to talk about your experiences abroad? I'm quite curious." Ren Feng asked with a smile again.
Song Ziwen originally wanted to refuse, but a thought crossed his mind, deciding not to miss the opportunity to strike at Ren Feng.
"Actually, there's nothing much to say, a few years ago, I met Wenxue, and we were fond of each other, so we got together. Those days, I truly miss."
"Hmm," Ren Feng nodded, "All you can do is reminisce."
Song Ziwen's face stiffened, "What do you mean by that, Ren Feng? During that time, Wenxue took meticulous care of me. Even when I was bedridden with illness, she never left my side."
Ren Feng laughed, "Yeah, Xue'xue is just too kind-hearted, she'd even wash some of my underwear."
Although that wasn't true, what did it matter if it wasn't, as long as it annoyed Song Ziwen?
Song Ziwen's face visibly twitched, then he smiled and said, "Ren Feng, you really are lazy, even having Wenxue help with that?"
"Wrong, this isn't laziness, it's called love. You wouldn't understand. Every night, Xue'xue snuggles into my arms, like a child." Ren Feng smiled, "Then, in the morning, she helps me dress, like a dutiful wife. Although we're not married yet, we certainly will be."
Song Ziwen realized he had done something foolish by bickering with Ren Feng.
This guy, without realizing it, could make someone furious, and no matter what, the conversation would always turn in his favor.
The conversation couldn't continue, Song Ziwen took a breath and smiled, saying, "I'll just wait for Wenxue to come back."
"Oh, when Wenxue returns, we'll be eating. You know, it's always best not to have outsiders during a family meal." Ren Feng said tactfully.
Song Ziwen's face twitched, but he found himself unable to counter.
Just then, the door opened.
Ren Feng almost immediately ran over, smiling, "Xue'xue, you're back."
He attentively took Xia Wenxue's bag, then helped her in, saying gently, "Xue'xue, are you tired today? Do you want me to give your shoulders a massage tonight?"
Mr. Yun patted his forehead, then turned away, thinking, my goodness, even this old man can't stand such shamelessness.
Xia Wenxue was a bit puzzled, why was Ren Feng suddenly so attentive? Then she saw Song Ziwen standing by the sofa, and her face immediately changed.
"Ren Feng, stop it, there's someone else here."
Xia Wenxue gently pushed Ren Feng away and walked over.
"Why are you here?"
"I have something to discuss with you."
Song Ziwen said with a smile, acting like a gentleman.
"What is it?"
Xia Wenxue sat down.
"Wenxue, there's an event tomorrow night, and I want to invite you." Song Ziwen organized his words, "It's a charity gala, and I'd like you to be my date."
Ren Feng's eyes instantly narrowed.
Xia Wenxue shook her head, "Sorry, I can't agree."
"Wenxue, I know you won't agree, but I still hope you'll consider it." Song Ziwen said sincerely, "I truly hope you'll give me another chance. Although our time together back then wasn't long, it left a deep impression on me. I hope we can return to those days."
"Wenxue, I will treat you well, I love you, sincerely." Song Ziwen said earnestly.
This time, Ren Feng's expression changed; he noticed confusion on Xia Wenxue's face.
At this moment, he couldn't interrupt, as a single mistake might backfire.
"Wenxue, this time, the collaboration with MAC Group didn't succeed, but it's okay. I know other companies, and I've already received an invitation from KQ Group. They'll send someone over."
Song Ziwen spoke with extreme sincerity, "Give me a chance, I'm willing to place the rest of my life in your hands."
Ren Feng was filled with resentment and thought, no wonder cultured and handsome men are beasts in human skin; this damn sweet talk is even better than mine. What woman could resist?
The rest of your life in my hands? Damn it, I'll crush your lower half!
No wonder the old saying goes that you'd rather be with an outright scoundrel than with a deceitful gentleman. These guys are the ones who hide daggers behind smiles and honey in their mouths, skilled at manipulating women.
Just like now, Song Ziwen was a type Ren Feng had seen plenty of; they sweet-talk like a perfect gentleman, but after getting into bed and playing around, they discard women like old shoes.
Xia Wenxue sighed slightly and shook her head, "Ziwen, I'll think about it."
In the depth of Song Ziwen's gaze was a hint of gloom, but he also knew not to push too hard, especially with Ren Feng here.
"I understand. I'll wait for you at the venue then."
Song Ziwen said with a smile, then slowly stood up.
"I'll be leaving then. See you tomorrow."
Ren Feng squinted his eyes and then smiled, "Oh, Mr. Song, let me see you off."
With that, he followed Song Ziwen outside.
Once outside the villa, the smile on Song Ziwen's face vanished, replaced by a look of confidence in manipulating others.
"Sorry, this round, you lost."
Song Ziwen looked at Ren Feng.
"I say, Song Ziwen, are you overconfident?" Ren Feng also wore a smile, "It seems you're not easily put down. Don't worry, I'll let you make a few more moves, but in the end, I'll pin you to the ground."
Song Ziwen's expression turned grim as he looked at Ren Feng.
