If words can't convince her, then silence will do. Anyway, Yan Feng believed that Chen Xi was just too starved for love, and her affection for him was merely a fleeting infatuation that led her to do something foolish. As long as he deliberately kept his distance for a while, everything would return to normal.

At least, that's what he thought.

Until they appeared in the noodle shop...

Yan Feng sat down, furrowing his brows as he looked at the young girl clinging to his arm, refusing to leave. He pointed with his chopsticks to the seat opposite, speaking in a calm tone:

"Sit over there."

"No way!" Chen Xi's big, bright eyes sparkled as she leaned in with a playful smile, rubbing against his arm like a kitten, and said coquettishly, "I want to sit next to Uncle and eat..."

Yan Feng said nothing, just looked at her.

Chen Xi, however, seemed to play dumb, looking back at him with a cheerful smile, charming and alluring.

And then...

Yan Feng dared not look any longer.

He feared he would soften because of that face.

He knew he absolutely couldn't compromise at this moment, even the slightest change in attitude could lead to unpredictable consequences.

So he stood up directly, ignoring the young girl's stiff expression, and found another seat to sit down.

Left behind, Chen Xi wasn't angry. Instead, she stood up with a smile and obediently sat across from him.

In silence, Yan Feng lowered his head, checking the messages on his phone.

After all, he was the actual controller of the entire company, managing all affairs. Without him, even Gu Qing and some managers couldn't handle many issues.

After reviewing the reports sent by employees, he quickly replied, his expression indifferent, showing no sign of looking up.

After a long silence, he sighed and ordered:

"Turn around, stop staring at me."

The young girl sitting opposite, resting her face on her hand and admiring his looks, smiled and asked:

"What's wrong? Is Uncle shy? Can't I even look at you?"

Yan Feng was speechless, standing up to leave, but was repeatedly stopped by her.

"Hey, hey, hey, don't go... Sigh, I really can't with you, can't even let me look..."

Chen Xi said, rolling her eyes at him, turning her face away, only glancing at him from the corner of her eye, helplessly saying:

"See, is this okay now? So stingy! So handsome yet won't let others look!"

Yan Feng squinted his eyes, hesitated for a second, and finally sat back down, just constantly checking the time on his phone, wondering why the beef noodles he ordered weren't ready yet...

Suddenly, his slightly relaxed brows furrowed again as he noticed her gaze once more. This time, however, she wasn't looking openly but was tilting her head, sneaking glances sideways.

"Be careful, or your neck might break," Yan Feng said.

"Hehe, it won't," Chen Xi smiled across from him, then turned her body again, continuing to sneak glances from the other side.

In the end, he sighed, not demanding more.

Thinking about Chen Xi made his head throb, and he couldn't help but rub his temples. Just as he raised his hand, he heard her say:

"Hmm? What's up, Uncle, thinking about me?"

The young girl smiled, cupping her beautiful face in her hands, her usually cold and glamorous face now tinged with a bit of playfulness, a different kind of charm.

"Don't worry so much, when the boat reaches the bridge, it will straighten itself. If Uncle doesn't want to go public, then we won't. I'm just happy to be by your side, isn't that good? Am I not well-behaved?"

Yan Feng shook his head, "I'm just thinking about company matters, nothing to do with you, stop talking nonsense."

"Hmph, liar!" Chen Xi pouted, "Your face is clearly blushing with shyness, yet you still deny it!"

Yan Feng didn't bother to argue, knowing that any further explanation would only complicate things. All he wanted now was for the noodles to be ready so he could eat and leave.

The good news was, Chen Xi indeed didn't provoke him further.

The bad news was... she took action instead...

The man, still looking at his phone, suddenly twitched his eyebrows, swallowed quietly, put down his phone, and with a cold face, looked at the young girl opposite, saying word by word:

"Take your pig's trotters back from under the table! Stop rubbing against my ankle!"

"Giggle..."

Chen Xi covered her face, laughing lightly, pointing at Yan Feng's desperately concealed blushing cheeks, "You're clearly shy, even your ears are red, and you still dare say you weren't thinking about me just now?"

Hearing this, Yan Feng couldn't hold back any longer, standing up to leave, but was stopped by her tugging at his clothes from behind, unable to move.

Turning his head, his face was full of disgust and shame.

Yet Chen Xi showed no guilt or intention to plead, instead, a playful smile appeared on her lips:

"What's the matter, leaving before finishing your noodles? You've already ordered, they should be served soon, right?"

In an instant, the young girl's eyes flashed sharply, staring straight into his eyes, saying word by word:

"You... aren't feeling guilty, are you?"

"Otherwise... if there's nothing to hide, why would you be afraid of me? Giggle..."

Yan Feng's face suddenly darkened, his right eyelid twitching incessantly, warning him that he absolutely couldn't stay here any longer.

Chen Xi, naturally seductive, was self-taught in charming men. Coupled with her suppressed emotions for who knows how many years, all these factors accumulated and erupted into a beauty capable of toppling nations.

Especially since she was Bai Xi's daughter, possessing a face eighty percent similar to her mother's...

Yan Feng couldn't resist...

Chen Xi was like a key coated in poison, each step fitting perfectly into his heart, piercing forcefully yet precisely, spreading poison without leaving an inch of unscathed skin.

Leading him to knowingly walk towards the cliff, even aware it was a trap.

To prove he had nothing to hide, Yan Feng braced himself, ignoring her triumphant laughter, and sat back down.

Fortunately, the young girl seemed to understand the principle of stopping while ahead, ceasing her advances, and did nothing more until the noodles were finished.

Yan Feng breathed a sigh of relief, thinking she was just a young girl, too inexperienced, and calmed down considerably, checking messages on his phone while eating his noodles leisurely.

"Hey, Uncle!"

A familiar voice rang out, and the man looked up at her.

"The noodles are finished," the young girl patted her stomach, smiling, "but I'm not full yet."

Yan Feng glanced at her empty bowl, not thinking much, and reached out to order more noodles from the shop owner.

But as soon as he raised his wrist, Chen Xi pressed it down.

"No need for that," she said, taking the unfinished beef noodles from in front of him, savoring them as if they were the finest delicacy, under his shocked gaze.

Even as she ate, she smacked her lips deliberately, giving a bewitching smile, "It seems your portion is tastier than mine!"
