Chapter Fifteen: My Man is Very Possessive
For two days in a row, Feng Ye did not appear in front of Qiao Xi again.
Relying on his name, she acted like a bully, and despite her striking appearance, no one dared to provoke her.
The shelter they were in was converted from an abandoned warehouse.
The open space was divided into different areas, where crops were planted and even livestock were kept.
Josie never expected that in just three months, the small shelter would already be taking shape.
Even in a dark, sunless basement, wood-type ability users can still grow vegetables and fruits.
"Sister Xixi, isn't that amazing? I thought it was amazing too when I first saw it!"
Zhao Wenjing looked on with envy, "Superpowered people are really powerful. Not only can they kill zombies, but they can also grow food. I wish I could become a superpowered person too!"
Josie patted her on the shoulder, "There's still a chance. Maybe you'll awaken your superpowers someday."
"Really? Sister Xixi, I can do it too?"
A glimmer of hope appeared on Zhao Wenjing's shy face, making her otherwise ordinary face shine.
Not wanting to see the light in her eyes dim, Josie smiled and said, "Yes, there's a chance."
Zhao Wenjing was overjoyed. If she awakened her superpower, she could take care of her grandmother and wouldn't be a burden to Feng Ye.
"Sister, I've arrived. Wait for me a moment, I'll go get my clothes."
Inside the shelter, everyone has to work. Those with superpowers and strong men have to go out every day to fight zombies and search for supplies.
The rest of the people had to work in the shelter in exchange for supplies.
"Okay, go ahead. I'll wander around here and wait for you."
In two days, only one-third of her supernatural abilities had recovered.
Compared to the recovery speed of other superhumans, it's incredibly slow.
If we go out like this, we probably won't last two hours.
Without Lu Yuyang to recharge her, she could only keep enduring.
Xing Wu and his men had just returned from outside when they spotted Qiao Xi, the most dazzling person in the crowd.
Even after meeting countless people, this girl still made him gasp for breath.
All the so-called beauties he had gathered seemed ordinary and unremarkable in her presence.
One glance was enough to make his heart flutter and every cell in his body leap with excitement.
"You wait."
He licked his lips, told his men to stay put, and approached Josie step by step.
By the time Josie realized it, the man's hot breath was already on the back of her neck. She turned around abruptly, almost bumping into him.
"Newcomer?" Xing Wu's gaze was blatant and dismissive, as if he were examining a piece of merchandise about to be acquired.
Josie took a half step back, her back pressed against the cold wall.
Xing Wu took the opportunity to reach out, his rough fingers about to touch her slender waist.
"Smack!"
A loud slap echoed through the empty warehouse.
A flash of violence crossed Xing Wu's eyes as his hand was slapped, but his anger subsided when he saw her delicate, fair face.
"You've got quite a temper," he said, touching the back of his hand where she had hit him, and then laughed. "Do you know who I am?"
Josh initially thought it was some pervert, but after hearing what he said, he immediately guessed the likely culprit.
"The boss of the shelter?"
"clever."
Xing Wu paced around her, becoming more and more satisfied with what he saw. He immediately turned around and waved to his underlings behind him.
Soon after, someone brought over a pile of luxury goods—chocolate, cookies, drinks, and even a few pretty dresses.
“Come with me, and all of this is yours.” He said, his hand reaching towards her waist again.
“I’m afraid I can’t keep up.” Josie smiled, her eyebrows like a rose with thorns. “My man… is very possessive.”
Xing Wu was aroused by her appearance and immediately sneered, "In this shelter, there's no woman I, Xing Wu, can't have. Tell me, who is it? I'll go 'discuss' with him."
"Feng Ye," she uttered softly, "Why don't you go and 'discuss' it with him now?"
Xing Wu's expression froze instantly.
Throughout the entire shelter, he could exchange any woman with superpowers for benefits, except for Feng Ye.
Feng Ye had never had anyone by his side, so now that he had acknowledged her identity, he must value her highly.
He was trying to win over Feng Ye, but interfering now would only backfire.
But looking at Josie's stunningly beautiful face, he couldn't resist the urge to seduce her.
Ultimately, his desire for power overwhelmed his longing for the beautiful woman before him.
In the blink of an eye, he put on a friendly smile.
"It turns out she's your sister-in-law. It's all a misunderstanding."
He waved his hand dismissively, "Consider these things a small gift. My sister-in-law can forgive my mistake, right?"
Josie smiled. "Of course, it's just a misunderstanding."
Anyway, she's not Feng Ye's real woman, and she'll be leaving in a couple of days.
Seeing that he agreed, Xing Wu immediately waved his hand generously, "I apologize for my rudeness earlier, sister-in-law. Consider these things a small gift for you."
Why not take it if it's free? Even if she can't take a lot of things with her, she can share them with Zhao Wenjing and Granny Chen.
Seeing that she accepted it, Xing Wu was relieved.
Before leaving, he told her to let him know if she needed anything, and he would have someone deliver it to her.
Josie saw the person off with a smile.
Xing Wu couldn't have her, but he missed her even more. He walked a long way before turning back to stare at her.
No rush. Fengye is new right now, but everyone gets tired of it eventually.
Then, he can also taste the flavor of this stunning beauty.
Zhao Wenjing saw Qiao Xi talking to Xing Wu from a distance.
After Xing Wu left, she quickly approached him.
"Sister Xixi, he...he didn't do anything to you, did he?"
"No, I am Feng Ye's woman, he won't do anything to me for the time being."
Zhao Wenjing breathed a sigh of relief. She had been here for several months and knew Xing Wu's character very well. With Sister Xixi being so beautiful, Xing Wu was bound to have his eye on her.
When the two carried their belongings back to their residence.
Chen Qiurong looked at the two of them in surprise, "Where did all this stuff come from?"
"The head of the shelter is kind-hearted; he specially sent them to us."
Zhao Wenjing stuck out her tongue. Sister Xixi really dares to speak her mind.
Chen Qiurong, of course, did not believe it. When Qiao Xi sat down, she grabbed her hand and said with concern, "Xi Xi, you've just arrived here and there are many things you don't understand. Wenjing, you have to remind Xi Xi that Xing Wu is not a good person."
Chen Qiurong's face was scrunched up with worry. "No, Xixi, Xiaoye can't protect you all the time. From now on, if you go out, you'll have to put some soot on your face."
The old man, unaware of the truth, genuinely believed her to be Feng Ye's girlfriend and treated her with exceptional care.
Josie hadn't felt the warmth of her elders for a long time.
Her mother died early, and her father soon married his mistress, favoring the daughter born to his unfaithful mother.
Her mother had a falling out with her family because she married someone from a lower social class, and in her memory, her maternal grandparents never appeared.
“Okay, Mother-in-law, I’ll do whatever you say.” Josie’s face showed a rare obedient expression.
Chen Qiurong affectionately rubbed her head, and she smiled at her with her eyes crinkling.
This was the scene that Feng Ye saw when he pushed the door open and came in.
"What are you talking about?" His voice carried a warmth he himself was unaware of.
