Chapter 22 - What a peasant like you is doing in the VIP section?
3 minutes and 46 seconds?
Chen Feng wanted to think that he was joking but the serious expressions on his face told her otherwise. It took her a few moments to get a hold over her disbelief. She realized that all the rumors that said that this man, Li Luxian, was more punctual than the setting and rising of the sun, were true. She smiled forcefully.
"Mr. Li, I had a little problem in the building", she said politely though she really wanted to curse him. Do these 3 minutes and 46 seconds to your mother! You should better go and marry a clock!
But outwardly, she was all smiles and respect. After all, he was Li Luxian. How could her humble self dare to curse him?
Li Luxian furrowed his brows.
"What problem?"
"Nothing. Just some bunch of sc.u.mbags finding trouble with me for that scandal", Chen Feng said in a dismissive tone. They could’ve caused a bigger problem for her but with Mr. Xu taking her sides, the matter was resolved and didn’t need any further concern from her side.
However, she had no idea that slightest mention of those who bullied her, who were already being kicked out of the building and enduring the wrath of Mr. Xu, to Li Luxian was going to ruin them completely by the hands of Li Luxian men
Li Luxian glanced at his secretary and secretary Zhang understood it at once and walked to a side to make a call. That call marked the end of Xhi Yuhan, Lui Chao and some others who sided her to bully Li Luxian wife.
"So Mr. Li where are we going?", Chen Feng asked.
To her surprise, Mr. Li, who had been coolly leaning against that black Mercedes, straightened and walked closer to her. When the distance between them gradually reduced, she grew hesitant and reluctantly took a step back.
"Mr. Li, what are you..."
He grabbed her hand and looked in her eyes romantically.
"Don’t call me Mr. Li. Call me by my name. We are already engaged. Are you intending to call me Mr. Li even after we got married?"
Chen Feng didn’t know what to do. Her face flushed. Her throat felt so dry. She wanted to gulp down a bucket of ice-cold water.
Why was she always like a hormonal teenager with him?
And what was with that overly-sweet touchy attitude now?
She stupidly stared at that chiseled face that was so close that it could give her a jolt in the heart. She could hear to her heart pounding in her ear.
"We are being watched, wife", Li Luxian cleared; a teasing smile never leaving his lips.
Chen Feng frowned as her mind slowly processed his words.
Inadvertently Chen Feng eyes averted and searched for those who were watching them and she looked around partially to look away from those deep, soul-devouring eyes. Her eyes had barely caught an ephemeral shadow of something when she felt strong fingers firmly grasping her chin and forcing her to look back in those deep brown orbs.
"Don’t look around. They might get suspicious", Li Luxian said looking intently at her gorgeous face as his thumb gently caressed her cheek. Chen Feng could feel his hot thumb against the sensitive skin of her cheek and she involuntarily blushed even more.
She really needed some self-control in with that man! She had to remind herself that he was only acting to stop her heart from somersaulting already.
"Let’s go", Chen Feng said, intending to get rid of that embarrassing situation as soon as possible!
"Alright wife"
If his wife to be was used to getting embarrassed by such a little tease, he could only laugh imagining her reaction once he did more bad things to her once they got married.
The interior of the car was as refreshing and lavish as it could be. It smelt nice and the seats were comfy. She had to admit Li Luxian had nice taste.
On the way, Chen Feng inquired about his family.
Li Luxian brought her in a five-star restaurant that was exclusively reserved for the autocratic society under Li corporations. A commoner couldn’t set a foot in that place. So the people from the wealthiest families could be spotted.
The manager, Cheng Tian, eager to curry favor with the CEO received them with great reverence and flattery visible in his course of action.
"Mr. Li, I’ve arranged the VIP table for you"
Li Luxian nodded. It was when his phone rang. He frowned looking up at the foreign number.
"Is it important call?", Chen Feng noticed conflicted expressions on his face.
"I think so..."
"Go on. Attend the all. I’ll be alright"
"I’ll be quick", Reluctantly Li Luxian walked away.
"Ms. Chen, let me walk you to your table", Cheng Tian said. His voice still held respect. Mr. Li had never brought a lady here before so it was easy for him to speculate that she was the one in the scandal that Mr. Li said he intended to marry.
So he was only wise to treat the future lady boss with respect!
"There is no need", Chen Feng, "I’ll alright on my own"
Cheng Tiab insisted but Chen Feng remained adamant. She didn’t want to be stared at when the owner walked her to their table. In the end, her will prevailed and she finally walked to her table and sat quietly, waiting for Mr. Li.
It was when she heard a voice behind her back.
"What a peasant like you is doing in the VIP table?"
