"Mr. Shen."

Jiang Yuexin wiped away her tears, sounding worried, "I promised my boss I would give myself to him after the Qixi Festival in order to sing at the 'Qixi Love' banquet. Now he doesn't seem to want me anymore. Does he hate me?"

"I think it's because the boss is a good man, and his wife is as beautiful as a Heavenly Immortal."

Shen Lu said.

"Right!"

Jiang Yuexin suddenly remembered something else and continued, "Right! Last time I met him at Wanfu Building, he said he wanted to buy whips, candles, and such. Could it be because I didn't bring those items, that's why he's not interested in me?"

"Definitely not…"

Shen Lu replied.

But in her heart, she was muttering to herself. Did her godfather like "candle play"?

No wonder she felt he was tempted last time, but in the end, nothing happened...

...

Ever since the night of the Qixi Festival, the rumors about Luo Hongyan's throat issues were completely put to rest.

Xu Yunxiao's work also became much smoother.

Weekend.

She finally had some time to rest, sitting on the sofa enjoying a foot massage from Qin Feng while calling her best friend Li Jie, saying, "How about we go shopping? I've been exhausted these past few days and feel like relaxing with some shopping."

Pfft!

Qin Feng almost fainted.

Women are indeed strange creatures, considering shopping as relaxation.

"Is your husband coming?"

Li Jie hesitated before asking.

"Relax, this time it's just for shopping, no need for any drudgery, just the two of us."

Xu Yunxiao responded.

"I, I..."

Li Jie stammered for a while before saying, "Why don't we invite him too?"

"Why? I thought you didn't like him!"

Xu Yunxiao said.

"I, I just want to buy more stuff, and need someone to carry it."

Li Jie said.

"Okay!"

Xu Yunxiao, who was getting her feet massaged by Qin Feng, asked if he wanted to go shopping, and naturally, Qin Feng was willing.

On the other hand.

After hanging up the phone, Li Jie felt very conflicted.

Since the "Qixi Love" banquet, she hadn't contacted Xu Yunxiao again, because Qin Feng had made such a strong impression on her that night.

The prince on a white horse she had secretly adored was actually Qin Feng, who she had never taken seriously before.

And Qin Feng was her best friend's husband.

This left her at a loss.

Shortly after.

The three of them met at the entrance of a mall.

Seeing Qin Feng, Li Jie's face flushed, and she became inexplicably nervous, her heart rate increasing. She could even hear her own heartbeat speeding up.

Sourced directly from *.

These past few days, her mind was filled with images of Qin Feng.

Especially that night, when he showed up dressed in a suit at the outdoor lovers' banquet, he truly looked like the world's most handsome man.

"What's wrong? You don't look very well."

Xu Yunxiao expressed her concern.

"Oh, it's nothing…"

Li Jie uttered awkwardly, sneaking a glance at Qin Feng while walking towards the mall.

As they walked and talked.

Xu Yunxiao, arm in arm with her, whispered, "Li Jie, can we discuss something?"

"Hm?"

"I know you don't like Qin Feng, but can you stop ridiculing him? I know he's not very accomplished, but he is still my husband, and he genuinely loves me."

Xu Yunxiao said.

"Um…"

Hearing this, Li Jie felt even more uncomfortable.

Especially when she heard Xu Yunxiao refer to Qin Feng as her husband, her heart felt as if it was being forcefully squeezed tight, a mix of sourness and pain.

After a moment.

Xu Yunxiao spotted a piece of clothing she liked and went to the fitting room.

Qin Feng and Li Jie waited outside.

With just the two of them left, Li Jie's heart pounded uncontrollably, and she couldn't help but turn her head to ask Qin Feng, "You, you... are you really the person who defeated Coach Fang Wudi that day and took the Heart of the Blue Sea?"

"Not me." Qin Feng smiled.

"No, it's you!" Li Jie insisted, "That night at the 'Qixi Love' open-air restaurant, I fainted, but I was still conscious. I could feel your silver needle treating me with the legendary Inner Strength. You are him, right?"

Qin Feng, afraid that she was speaking too loudly and that Xu Yunxiao might hear, whispered, "Shh, keep it down, low profile..."

"It really is you!"

Li Jie's eyes widened, her heart pounding like a bell.

This time, she could finally confirm that he was that man!

Thinking back on how she had always mocked and derided him, calling him a worthless good-for-nothing, and had even always urged Yunxiao to divorce him, she felt an infinite sense of guilt.

And him, a Big Shot who could make Coach Fang Wudi kneel, had never sought revenge on her!

What a great and noble magnanimity!

For a moment,

Li Jie's admiration for him grew more and more profound.

"Qin Feng, you, you're so amazing, why have you always hidden it from Yunxiao?"

Li Jie asked again, curious.

"You don't understand, I'm protecting her."

Qin Feng said.

"..."

Li Jie indeed didn't quite understand.

But a man who, to protect a woman, would allow himself to be scorned and ridiculed by the whole world as a worthless wimp; such a man was too great, too rare!

Seeing Xu Yunxiao was about to come out, Qin Feng quickly spoke to Li Jie again, "This way, you've always wanted to become a disciple of Fang Wudi, right? I'll arrange it for you later, but first, keep my secret for me. I can't let Yunxiao know too much just yet, it's for her own good."

"Really? That's great!"

Li Jie exclaimed excitedly.

Just then,

Xu Yunxiao came out wearing the new clothes, and seeing the two of them whispering, asked curiously, "What are you two doing? What's so funny?"

"Oh, nothing, nothing."

Li Jie hastily said with a blushing face.

Somehow, even though she had done nothing wrong, she felt like she was having an affair.

Afterward,

Li Jie, who initially didn't plan to buy any clothes, ended up buying several pieces.

Mainly to try on different styles of dresses for Qin Feng to see.

It's a pity,

It seemed that Qin Feng's eyes were only on Xu Yunxiao.

This left her feeling a bit dejected.

The three of them walked down the street, and Xu Yunxiao seeing Li Jie carrying five or six pieces of clothing, then said, "Why are you carrying them yourself? Give them to Qin Feng to carry! Isn't that what he's here for?"

"No need, no need..."

Li Jie hastily said.

She was worried about Qin Feng carrying so many things and was thinking of an excuse to carry them for him; how could she let him carry her things?

"Hey, you're acting really strange today."

Xu Yunxiao said suspiciously.

Li Jie's face instantly flushed red, unable to lift her eyes to meet hers, and quickly changed the subject, "Let's check out that shop."

Only after entering did they realize, we've come to a lingerie store.

"Just in time, I need to buy some lingerie too."

Xu Yunxiao also said.

At this moment, Li Jie had an idea and purposefully asked the store manager loudly, "Hello, do you have a size 36, D-cup?"

While saying this,

She sneaked a peek at Qin Feng.

She was very satisfied with her own size, but Qin Feng seemed indifferent, his eyes still focused on Xu Yunxiao.

Xu Yunxiao, seeing Qin Feng also entering the store, suddenly blushed and pushed him saying, "What are you looking at as a big man? Go somewhere else and wait for us."

"..."

Qin Feng felt embarrassed.

The plan to overhear his wife's measurements had failed, and he reluctantly left the store.

Looking around the street,

He saw Feng Guoqiang's "Cloud Peak" property sales office on the street corner and said goodbye to Xu Yunxiao and the others, mentioning he'd find a place to rest...
