Chapter 142 Initiative
Feng Jue said coldly, "Making an orphan girl apologize and kneel all night, is that the best solution you can think of? Aren't you afraid of being ridiculed?"
He then said to the bodyguards, "Tell Qiao Li that this great nation is not a barbarian land, not a place where she can act with impunity. Use whatever tricks you have up your sleeve, I'm waiting."
Seeing the bodyguard leave with a dark expression, Liu Yufeng and the others felt as if a dark cloud had descended upon them, their faces turning deathly pale. They felt that the Feng family was doomed, and they would be doomed as well.
"Don't worry, I have a better solution. You don't need to know what it is."
"You make it sound so easy. Do you know that this could bankrupt us?"
Feng Jue glanced at Feng Jinchen and said, "Are you stupid? I'll say it again, I can handle Qiao Li's matter."
Feng Jinchen didn't believe it, but dared not say anything more.
Only the old man and woman breathed a sigh of relief. Their youngest son was true to his word, but they were very curious about how he would do it.
“Mom, everyone here is cunning and wants to kill Su Xi. I know you care about her. I’ll take her away.”
The old lady nodded repeatedly, "Okay."
Feng Jue looked at Su Xi, "Let's go."
Su Xi couldn't believe she had left unscathed, and stood up in a daze.
The old lady added, "A-Jue, take her home."
"Watch her go in before you leave."
Thinking for a moment, she raised her voice and added, "Don't look stern, don't scare them."
Feng Jueren had already reached the door and waved his hand, "Understood."
Everyone stared at the old lady speechlessly.
Feng Jue wouldn't scare people with a dark face; he would only eat them up with a red face.
The old man glanced at the old woman and thought to himself, "A wise old woman who's made a fool of herself this time."
They're laughing now, but when they find out their granddaughter-in-law has become their daughter-in-law, they'll be so angry they'll die of grief.
The old man returned to his study and immediately made a phone call. "Investigate this matter for me as soon as possible, immediately..."
After hanging up the phone, a dark glint flashed in the old man's eyes. He wouldn't reveal the car accident unless absolutely necessary, as it would damage their father-son relationship.
As long as his suspicions are confirmed, he still has a way to separate the two. They're too inexperienced to fight him.
Even after sitting in the passenger seat, Su Xi's mind was still somewhat hazy and confused.
Feng Jue looked at her and bent down to get closer.
His handsome face magnified in her pupils, and Su Xi's back instantly straightened.
Seeing that the man was buckling her seatbelt and then immediately pulling away, Su Xi breathed a sigh of relief. Looking at the man's profile, which was so cold and aloof that it was almost icy, she couldn't help but feel a sense of emptiness.
The man drove very steadily and soon stopped in front of the apartment building, with trees full of flowers overhead.
In the brief moment the engine was turned off, scattered petals drifted down onto the windshield like shattered jade, and a faint fragrance seemed to fill the air.
Neither the man nor the woman intended to get off the bus immediately.
Su Xi bit her lip, lowered her eyes, and said softly, "Uncle, I'm sorry. I apologize for getting angry at you at the hospital. Luo Chen is just my brother, not your brother. I was too harsh on you."
The man was clearly surprised; a rare look of astonishment appeared on his large face, and his usually cold and aloof expression instantly softened, his voice becoming gentler.
“You’re being harsh on me because you consider me one of your own, and I’m glad. Also, to correct you, Luo Chen is also my younger brother, and I care about him a lot. I’m just a bit reserved.”
Listening to the man's unusually long explanation, each word striking her heart, Su Xi felt a surge of emotions.
Before her emotions of being moved could reach their peak, the man's thin lips suddenly pressed against hers, his deep, husky voice carrying a hint of seduction as it rang in Su Xi's ear.
"Xiaoxi, an apology can't just be words."
Su Xi's emotions were like a rollercoaster, and she decisively withdrew a touching sentiment.
Clearly noticing the changes in the woman's expression, Feng Jue seemed to have expected it, his emotions remaining completely unmoved. His voice, carrying a wave of heat, was deep, mellow, and pleasant.
"I know you don't like me now, or even hate me, but I won't allow you to leave me. You can't distance yourself from me, reject me, or draw a line between us."
Su Xi's heart suddenly started pounding.
Although the man didn't say he liked her, it was the first time he had so delicately expressed his feelings for her.
Such an outstanding man, in such a beautiful setting—any woman would be captivated. But…
The heat spraying into her ears interrupted her thoughts.
“Without me now, you will be in a very difficult situation. They will not let you get the property easily, and Feng Jinchen will not let you get a divorce easily. In that man’s heart, there is no divorce, only widowhood.”
Su Xi's pupils suddenly contracted. Feng Jinchen had indeed said those words.
The man pinched her chin, looked into the woman's eyes, and said, "So, you're not allowed to be hot and cold towards me anymore, and you're not allowed to reject me."
The man waited for her answer.
The distance was too close for Su Xi to see the man's face clearly, but the cool and pleasant sandalwood scent emanating from him enveloped her almost completely, making her feel intoxicated and captivated.
Does the man mean for her to be his mistress, at his beck and call? A mistress who won't sleep with him, but whom he can kiss whenever he wants?
Finding a match for her brother and protecting her under his wing is indeed a profitable business.
Yet, Su Xi couldn't help but feel a surge of bitterness and self-mockery. But she had no choice.
It's just a kiss. Kissing scenes are practically a required skill for every actor; it's no big deal. She'll just play along with this man and act it out properly.
It will only be half a month; everything will be settled in half a month.
"Okay." The woman's voice was barely audible, yet it reached the man's ears clearly, stirring up a storm of emotions within him.
The man turned off the car headlights, and the car suddenly became dark, filled with an ambiguous atmosphere, and even the air became humid and hot.
The man gripped the woman's chin, about to steady her, but stopped abruptly as he leaned down.
A woman might find him disgusting; she might verbally agree, but she might not truly mean it. He doesn't like being forced, unless...
Pull out the seat, and the space instantly becomes spacious.
The man pointed to his leg.
A surge of blood rushed to her head, and Su Xi felt humiliated.
The instant their eyes met, sparks flew. One was consumed by hatred, the other by coldness.
The man's voice, however, was gentle and tender, instantly calming her agitation. He spoke softly...
"To prove that I am not forcing people to do things, I don't like to force people."
The carriage was dark, and only the man's general outline and obsidian-like peach blossom eyes could be seen.
Even just the outline is absolutely stunning.
Su Xi clenched her fingers.
Sit down there.
The man looked at her, his throat felt incredibly dry, and his eyes began to dart away.
With her eyes closed, Su Xi saw thick, long, and curled eyelashes, and for a moment she felt that this man was more beautiful than she was.
It was just slightly cool, without any particular pattern.
Men are helpless, trapped in their own webs; this is probably the case.
