Chapter 23: Bar

Chapter 23: Chapter 23: Bar

Inexplicably having a fiancée? Ling Feng couldn’t help but smile bitterly and shake his head. Although he quite understood Yun Hanrui’s rejection and resistance, still a trace of melancholy lingered in Ling Feng’s heart.

Pushing open the door of his home, Ling Feng turned on the light, only to see Liu Tingyu sitting at the front of the hall with tears all over her face.

Upon seeing Ling Feng, she burst into tears and threw herself into his arms, clinging tightly to him. "You jerk, where were you? Do you have any idea how worried I was? Sob... I went to the police station looking for you, but they said you had left, and you weren’t coming home. I thought... I thought the underworld had..."

Ling Feng’s body trembled slightly; he gently patted Liu Tingyu’s shoulder, his heart filled with emotion: "It’s okay, Tingyu! See, I’m fine, aren’t I? Stop crying, or you won’t look pretty! Come on, don’t cry!"

"Pfft!" Liu Tingyu cried and laughed, "I’m not a child, your skills in soothing women are really terrible!"

Ling Feng felt somewhat embarrassed, he had never really soothed a woman in his life!

Liu Tingyu rested her head on Ling Feng’s shoulder, the unique delicate fragrance of a girl wafting to him, causing his heart to tremble slightly.

"You jerk, I’m really scared when I’m home alone!" Liu Tingyu murmured, "I worry something might happen to you, and I fear those underworld guys would come after you. Sometimes, my mind just races with fear!"

Ling Feng’s body stiffened, his heart struck by a tender feeling for the first time!

This was the first time a girl had worried about his safety. Ling Feng’s eyes moistened slightly.

"It’s all right, no need to worry about me!" Ling Feng gently embraced Liu Tingyu and said, "Everything will pass, don’t worry, with me here, everything will pass!"

Ling Feng’s voice seemed to carry a magical rhythm, soon Liu Tingyu’s rigid body softened, and a faint smile appeared on her tear-stained face.

Ling Feng carried her to bed, tucked her in, hesitated for a moment, then gently kissed her forehead: "Thank you, thank you for your concern. Good night, sweet dreams!"

After putting Liu Tingyu to sleep, Ling Feng lay alone on the sofa.

Ling Feng liked the night, because it could cover many things. Those dirty, sinister things all found their soil to thrive in during the night!

"United Hearts Gang? Ling Xiao?" Ling Feng squinted his eyes, "I hope you don’t cross paths with me again, otherwise..."

Thinking for a moment, Ling Feng quietly got up, put on his jacket, and walked out.

Playing defense was not Ling Feng’s style. At least for now, he needed to find out just how extensive the United Hearts Gang’s influence really was!

Meanwhile, at Chaoyang Biotech Headquarters, Yun Hanrui was wide awake! She kept recalling the events that had occurred that evening.

"How could it be like this!" Yun Hanrui murmured to herself, "Ling Feng... why did you leave my life without any warning, and then suddenly burst back into it?"

In Yun Hanrui’s mind, such a scene emerged again:

"Brother Feng, wait for me!" A little girl in a princess dress, holding a lollipop, followed a group of boys.

One of the boys impatiently said, "Xiao Rui, we’re going to raid bird nests, why are you following us? You should just go home and watch cartoons! This is a boys’ game!"

"Wait for me!" The girl ran hastily, accidentally fell, and her beautiful dress was covered with dirt, the lollipop in her hand also dirtied.

"Waah... you guys are mean, why didn’t you wait for me!" Little Loli cried heartbrokenly, she could only have a lollipop once a week, but now it was too dirty to eat.

The boy scratched his head, then walked over to the girl, extending his hand: "Stop crying, or you won’t look pretty! I’ll walk you home, we’ll change your clothes... As for the lollipop, I’m going abroad with my parents tomorrow, I’ll bring you a foreign lollipop, how about that?"

"Really?" The girl’s face was tear-stained, as she asked while sobbing.

The boy patted his chest, "Of course, I’m a man of my word!"

"So let’s make a pinky promise..."

...

But after that, the girl never saw the boy return, and the promised lollipop gradually faded from her memories! It wasn’t until she grew up that she learned her little brother was no longer of this world!

But why, why does he appear again when she had no expectations whatsoever? Why must I bizarrely become his fiancée? I, Yun Hanrui, absolutely refuse! Sitting in the office, Yun Hanrui’s face was full of stubbornness!

What’s the most chaotic place in a city? Naturally, it’s the bars and cabarets!

Ling Feng arrived at the most thriving bar nearby. As the night deepened, the bar was exceptionally bustling!

The white-collar workers, worn out from the day, completely unleashed their passions under the cover of night.

In the bar, the last thing needed was so-called reserve!

"Brother, how about a drink?" Ling Feng had just taken a seat at the bar when a female bartender leaned in: "You look new here, first time?"

Ling Feng raised his eyebrows: "Yeah, got any signature drinks to recommend?"

"The treasure of our bar, a Bloody Mary!" The female bartender waved her hands flamboyantly, her chest heaving: "Please try one!"

A blood-red cocktail was handed to Ling Feng.

After taking a sip, the drink was spicy at first, but then a fierce heat filled Ling Feng’s chest, and he felt as if he were on fire!

"Not bad!" Ling Feng took a deep breath and said, "It packs a punch!"

At that moment, a scantily clad woman with a pungent perfume scent settled next to Ling Feng, her right hand on his shoulder: "Little handsome, won’t you buy a lady a drink?"

The female bartender gave a suggestive look, clearly, the mature woman had taken a liking to Ling Feng!

Ling Feng shrugged and said, "It would be my honor to buy a beauty like you a drink... but what about after the drink?"

As he spoke, Ling Feng’s hand climbed to the woman’s waist.

The mature woman gave Ling Feng a seductive glance: "That depends on how strong your liquor is, little brother!"

"I have strong liquor!" Ling Feng said as he firmly squeezed her chest: "But coming out with fake breasts to bait guys, your sincerity seems lacking!"

"You..." Hearing Ling Feng’s words, the mature woman felt insulted: "You jerk!"

The mature woman left, and the bartender said with a hint of regret: "Ah, it’s a pity! Such an explosive figure, don’t you really have any thoughts?"

Ling Feng swirled the drink in his hand, a wicked smile crossing his face: "I don’t like the smell on her!"

He took a deep breath: "If it were you, however, I might consider it!"

"Get lost, I’m in the business of performance, not my body!" the female bartender jested back.

Although he bantered with the female bartender, Ling Feng was keenly gathering every sound in the entire bar into his ears!

Among these noisy and chaotic sounds, Ling Feng’s brain was rapidly processing, searching for the information he wanted! Multitasking was a piece of cake for Ling Feng!

"Two Blue Fantasies!" At that moment, a fragrance wafted over, and a heavily made-up woman sat next to Ling Feng: "One for this little brother!"
