Chapter 49

When Hao Jian, Wu Xinghua's nominal husband, and Zhao Chunnan, the current president of Hongli Group, arrived, Wu Xinghua had already drunk at least a dozen and a half bottles of beer and more than half a bottle of red wine. Even though she had a high tolerance for alcohol, her cheeks were already flushed, and she was slightly tipsy.

As Hao Jian and Zhao Chunnan entered the private room, Wu Xinghua sat next to Ye Feng, pressing close to him. The mixture of alcohol and her natural fragrance assaulted Ye Feng's senses, especially when her flushed cheeks and her slender, white arm casually rested on her waist, causing a sudden heat to rise in his lower abdomen.

This situation, occurring at such an inappropriate time, made Ye Feng both embarrassed and excited. He could have easily moved to the side to avoid Wu Xinghua, but for some inexplicable reason, he remained seated.

Hao Jian, who had rushed over to the private room based on the address provided by Wu Xinghua, was initially filled with excitement and joy, believing that his nominal wife might soon become his real wife. After all, he had meticulously planned for a long time to win over this woman, who had transformed from a pure young girl into a stunningly alluring woman.

In Hao Jian's mind, he could have countless lovers, but the only one truly worthy of being his wife was Wu Xinghua.

However, as soon as he entered the private room, he saw Wu Xinghua intimately leaning against a young, handsome guy, her face flushed with alcohol, almost entirely in the arms of the young man.

This scene ignited Hao Jian's jealousy, making him furious, and Zhao Chunnan, who accompanied him, felt a surge of jealousy as well.

Especially Zhao Chunnan, who had been tricked by Wu Xinghua last time, realized that the so-called boyfriend Wu Xinghua mentioned was just a fake when Hao Jian, who had decided to cooperate with him, revealed that Wu Xinghua was his wife.

Now, the man who had pretended to be Wu Xinghua's boyfriend was also in the private room.

Could it be? Did he and Wu Xinghua have a special relationship?

The four of them sat facing each other, each with their own thoughts.

Hao Jian was the first to speak, "Xinghua, what do you think of my proposal?" As he said this, he glanced at Ye Feng out of the corner of his eye, trying to figure out his identity.

Wu Xinghua burped and laughed, "Of course, I've thought about it. Why else would I call you here? Do you want to hear my answer now?"

Hao Jian was overjoyed. It was finally time for this thorny rose to submit. He leaned forward, closer to Wu Xinghua, and said, "Of course, I want to hear it. Xinghua, we've been through a lot together. We don't have to go this far. I'll still say it: as long as you agree to and fulfill my conditions, I'll give you all the shares I have. I mean it."

Zhao Chunnan, sitting beside him, felt even more jealous. She thought, "Such a beautiful flower, and it ends up on Hao Jian's pile of dog shit."

Wu Xinghua's smile grew wider, her eyebrows curved like a crescent moon, her eyes half-closed. She leaned forward, close to Hao Jian's face, and said, "Hao Jian, you really live up to your name. You're a despicable man." Suddenly, her expression changed, she sniffed hard, and spat right in the middle of Hao Jian's face.

The sudden turn of events left Hao Jian both ashamed and furious. Just as he was about to speak, Wu Xinghua interrupted him, "Damn you, Hao Jian. Do you think I don't understand your intentions? I'll tell you the truth now. Go ahead and dream your dreams. I've decided to sell my 49% of the shares outright. I'm done playing with you. Do whatever you want. With your condition, you're half-dead already. Do you really think you can seduce me? Do you think you can threaten me into submission? I spit on you. Here's my answer, and you better listen. Yes, you heard me right, both of you, including you, Zhao Chunnan, you fat pig with swine fever. My answer is: damn your mother."

Wu Xinghua finished her tirade and took another sip of beer before continuing, "Cursing you two bastards really wastes my saliva and energy. I've said my piece, so you can stay here and blow in the wind. I'm not staying."

Ye Feng, listening from the side, couldn't help but admire her. He doubted he could have delivered such a passionate speech in one breath.

Wu Xinghua took Ye Feng's hand and said, "I've had my fun. There's no point in staying here. Let's go."

Ye Feng, who hadn't even had a chance to act, didn't want to leave just yet. Just as he was about to say, "Wait a bit," Hao Jian suddenly picked up a beer and splashed it at Wu Xinghua, shouting, "You bitch."

Clearly, Hao Jian had completely lost his composure.

Ye Feng, not about to let him get away with it, leaned forward, and with a burst of inner energy, deflected all the beer back onto Hao Jian.

Hao Jian was stunned, wondering if he had splashed the beer in the wrong direction.

The moment he realized his shirt was wet, his anger shifted entirely to Ye Feng. "What the hell are you? Do you know who I am? Do you know that one word from me can make your life in Mingzhu City unbearable?"

Zhao Chunnan, seeing an opportunity, added fuel to the fire, "Brother, this guy is Wu Xinghua's young lover. I saw her hugging him and going home with him that night."

Hao Jian's lungs almost burst with rage. His wife had brought her lover to negotiate with him. How green must this hat be!

Hao Jian, pointing at Ye Feng, gasped, "Damn... damn your mother, damn..."

Ye Feng glared at him and said, "Clean up your language, or I'll shut your mouth for you."

Threatened by Ye Feng, Hao Jian was almost ready to faint. He turned to Wu Xinghua and shouted, "Wu Xinghua, tell me, what does this lover of yours do? How long have you been together?"

Before Wu Xinghua could answer, Zhao Chunnan interjected, "Brother, do you really need to ask her? She's already brought him home and slept with him. It's too late to ask now."

Hao Jian's eyes turned red with anger. He felt that if he let Wu Xinghua and Ye Feng leave tonight, he would have no face to face his ancestors.

He took out his phone and dialed a number, "You guys, come to the 11th private room at the bar."

Zhao Chunnan followed suit, "Brother, since you called your bodyguards, I'll call mine too. Let's give this guy a lesson."

Hao Jian put away his phone and glared at Wu Xinghua, repeating, "What does this lover of yours do? How long have you been together?"

Wu Xinghua, fearing that Hao Jian might harm Ye Feng, grabbed his hand and said, "Ye Feng, let's go. Don't deal with this lunatic."

Hao Jian stepped in front of Wu Xinghua and said, "Wu Xinghua, you won't leave tonight until you explain. Don't forget, you're still my wife by law."

"Hao Jian, stop playing games with me. Who are you threatening? Do you think a few bodyguards make you powerful? I don't buy it. And I'll tell you, Ye Feng is my boyfriend. So what? I'll marry him as soon as we finalize the divorce. I'll tell you one more thing: a hundred Hao Jians can't match a single hair of Ye Feng."

These words drove Hao Jian mad, left Zhao Chunnan stunned, and left Ye Feng in a daze.

He knew Wu Xinghua had said these things in a fit of anger, but having never experienced a declaration of love from a beautiful woman, Ye Feng was indeed flustered and confused.

After a moment, Hao Jian, unable to get an answer from Wu Xinghua, turned to Ye Feng, "Ye Feng, what do you do? How long have you been with Wu Xinghua?"

Ye Feng, not as hesitant as Wu Xinghua, replied, "I work at Xinghua's company, delivering water. As for how long I've been with her, I don't see the need to tell you."

Hao Jian, hearing this, was both amused and furious. So, this guy was just a water delivery man at Miaoyuan Company.

Damn, this made Hao Jian even angrier. How could a water delivery man have the nerve to cuckold him? With his power and influence, he could destroy him in a minute.

Wu Xinghua pulled Ye Feng again, "Ye Feng, let's go. Don't waste time with these idiots."

Wu Xinghua was genuinely worried that Hao Jian might harm Ye Feng. If Ye Feng got hurt because of her, she would never forgive herself.

But to her surprise, Ye Feng not only didn't leave but pulled her back down, looking at her and smiling, "Xinghua, are you scared?"

"I'm not scared, but I don't want you to get hurt."

"If you're not scared, stay a bit longer. You've had a lot to drink tonight, but I haven't. Wait here, I'll go get a dozen more beers. Don't you remember we said we wouldn't leave until we were drunk?"

"Ye Feng, you... you..."

"Xinghua, don't say anything. Trust me. Wait for me, I'll be back soon."

Before Wu Xinghua could say more, Ye Feng quickly left the private room.

Zhao Chunnan, seeing this, sneered, "Ms. Wu, your young lover is clearly scared. He left you alone."

Wu Xinghua glared at him, "Shut up. He won't leave."

Even Hao Jian thought Ye Feng had backed down, which slightly calmed his anger and jealousy. This was why he didn't stop Ye Feng when he said he was going to get more beer. He and Zhao Chunnan both thought Ye Feng was scared, and this felt like a slap in the face to Wu Xinghua, which was satisfying.

In Hao Jian's and Zhao Chunnan's minds, Ye Feng was just a water delivery man. How could he stand up to two influential tycoons?

But what about Ye Feng?

Did he really leave?
