Chapter 897: Scheming

Chapter 897: Chapter 897: Scheming

"That guy is the toy Jenny brought? He looks pretty handsome!" murmured a noblewoman with seductive eyes.

"He’s nothing more than Jenny’s plaything. Being able to sneak in here is already an immense privilege for him!" a nobleman sneered dismissively. "Filthy oriental, truly despicable!"

"Hey, are you still hung up on Jenny? Have you forgotten how she humiliated you back then?"

"Precisely because she humiliated me, I have an urgent desire to conquer her. But alas, she’s now fallen for some oriental monkey!"

...

Ling Feng sat for a while, and a young woman in a deep-V evening gown walked up to him, her fragrance enveloping him. "Handsome guy, sitting here alone—isn’t that a bit lonely?"

Ling Feng put down his glass of red wine, squinting as he looked at the beautiful girl. "Thanks for your concern, Miss Tina, I’m just feeling a bit bored!"

"You know my name?" The girl asked, somewhat surprised.

A faint smile appeared at the corner of Ling Feng’s lips. "Of course. Miss Tina is the most beautiful girl here, like the brightest star in the night sky. How could I not know your name?"

Tina covered her lips and chuckled lightly. "Handsome, you’ve got such a sweet tongue, but I’m aware of my own status! In our circle, Sister Jenny is the most stunning. Speaking of her, where is she? Wasn’t she with you earlier?"

Ling Feng drank the red wine from his glass and replied with a bitter smile, "She had something urgent to handle, so she left. I have no idea what she’s doing now."

"That’s truly inappropriate!" Tina sat down beside Ling Feng, pressing close against him, whispering softly, "Handsome, are you really in a romantic relationship with Sister Jenny?"

Ling Feng smiled and said, "What do you think?"

Tina shook her head. "I don’t know, but I saw Sister Jenny earlier—she..."

At this point, Tina cautiously glanced around and said, "Sister Jenny and another beautiful girl entered a room nearby. I think..."

Ling Feng’s expression immediately darkened. "She’s still entangled with those women? Truly infuriating!"

Tina’s eyes gleamed as she suggested, "Handsome, why don’t we go have a look? I think you have a right to know about this."

Ling Feng nodded, thanking her. "Miss Tina, thanks to you. Please lead the way—I need to ask Jenny what this is all about!"

Tina hooked her arm around Ling Feng’s. "Then let’s go. I know where they are!"

With that, Tina led Ling Feng out of the banquet hall, arriving at a secluded garden outside the estate.

"Where’s Jenny? Where is she?" Ling Feng asked curiously.

Tina turned around, took a step forward, and said, "Handsome, is Jenny’s whereabouts really that important now?"

She licked her lips and added, "This environment is so peaceful, and it’s just the two of us—don’t you have any other thoughts?"

Ling Feng felt awkward and a bit flustered. He coughed lightly and said, "Miss Tina, please don’t—Jenny and I are..."

Tina pressed her finger against Ling Feng’s lips. "Handsome, isn’t it a killjoy to bring up Jenny at a time like this? Truth be told, from the moment I laid eyes on you, I fell deeply for you. Why not seize the moment here and now?"

With an alluring voice, Tina added, "Come on, can’t you feel my passion and heartbeat? You should know that among us nobles, such things are quite common. I wouldn’t meddle in your relationship with Sister Jenny. So, what are you waiting for?"

Ling Feng’s breathing grew heavier, and his eyes turned slightly red, as if he were a beast swept along by emotion.

Tina let out a faint hum, feeling smug. She had sprayed herself with Aphrodisiac Perfume, and in this desolate environment, she didn’t believe Ling Feng could resist her charm!

As long as Ling Feng lost control, everything would fall into place...

But the imagined tempest didn’t come. Instead, Ling Feng’s mocking voice rang out. "Not bad acting... but a bit clumsy. I suggest you buy a copy of *An Actor’s Self-Cultivation*."

Tina looked into Ling Feng’s now-clear gaze, her heart trembling slightly with a sense of foreboding. "Handsome, you..."

Ling Feng replied coldly, "With someone of your caliber, you think you can seduce me? You presume my taste is that low?"

Tina stared at Ling Feng in shock. She hadn’t expected him to see through her charade. Moreover, his words felt like a profound insult! She was, after all, a true noble socialite—not someone Ling Feng could humiliate!

"How... how did you figure it out?" Tina struggled briefly but could not break free.

Ling Feng replied playfully, "Oh, I forgot to mention—I have exceptional hearing. Every word you and your lot uttered, I heard loud and clear. So, from the start, I knew all about your little scheme. Did you really think I’d fall for it?"

"Impossible!" Tina couldn’t help but shout. "The banquet hall was noisy—how could you possibly have overheard us? You’re bluffing!"

"Why would I bother?" Ling Feng sneered. "By the way, did I mention my sharp hearing ability? Your accomplices are heading in this direction—about two minutes away. Before they arrive, I’ll show you the consequences of trying to trick a man..."

"What are you planning to do?" Tina asked, fear creeping into her voice. She tried to suppress her unease and said, "Alright, I underestimated you. If you stop now, I might consider letting you off the hook!"

Ling Feng smirked slightly. At this stage, Tina still hadn’t reckoned the reality she faced—how adorably foolish.

With a sharp tearing sound, Ling Feng’s hand brushed against Tina’s body. She let out a startled scream!
