Chapter 71: Make Him Apologize

After dealing with Ye Hu, Xu Feng slowly walked towards the Xiao family compound under the stunned gazes of the crowd.

As soon as Xu Feng returned to the Xiao family courtyard, a servant rushed over and grabbed him, saying, "Brother Xu! Where have you been? Young Master has been looking for you like crazy. Second Miss was bullied and is now in her room, refusing to talk to anyone."

"Second Miss was bullied?" Xu Feng frowned, "By whom?"

"Isn't it that beast, the young master of the Ling family? When Second Miss was looking for you, she happened to run into that beast on the street. He teased her and even touched her. If Young Master hadn't arrived in time, he might have succeeded. Second Miss... Hey, Brother Xu, why are you walking so fast? Wait for me!"

Before the servant could finish, Xu Feng had already sprinted towards Second Miss's residence, leaving the servant far behind.

As soon as Xu Feng walked through the gate, he heard Xiao Lin's excited voice, "Xu Feng! You came just in time, go and comfort Yilin!"

Xu Feng nodded and, without wasting words with Xiao Lin, went directly to Xiao Yilin's room. Entering the room, he saw Xiao Yilin huddled in the corner of the bed, her arms wrapped around her legs, her head buried between her knees.

Seeing Xiao Yilin curled up, Xu Feng walked over and sat on the edge of the bed, softly calling, "Second Miss..."

Xiao Yilin's body trembled, and Xu Feng could faintly hear her sobbing. Her weak voice reached his ears, and seeing her usually vibrant and lively demeanor now so fragile, his heart filled with uncontrollable tenderness.

"Second Miss! What happened?" Xu Feng patted her back and gently pulled her trembling body into his arms, forgetting that Xiao Lin and the others might burst in and see this scene.

"Xu Feng! Sob... Sob..." Xiao Yilin, embraced by Xu Feng, couldn't hold back and clung to him, her sobs growing louder. Xu Feng's chest quickly became wet.

"Ling Yong, that... that... scoundrel! He bullied me!" Xiao Yilin sobbed, her voice filled with endless委屈 (grievance).

Xu Feng looked at Xiao Yilin's torn clothes and gently patted her body, "Second Miss, it's okay! You're back at the Xiao family, he won't dare to bully you again!"

Xiao Yilin's expression didn't improve with Xu Feng's comfort, "Mother once said that only my future husband can see my body, but... but... he bullied me and tore my clothes, I... I..."

Tears streamed down Xiao Yilin's face, her delicate and adorable appearance evoking a deep sense of pity.

Xu Feng glanced at Xiao Yilin's torn clothes, catching a glimpse of her red undergarment, the prominent curves hinting at her exquisite figure.

"Second Miss, don't worry! You're still wearing clothes underneath. He can't see anything," Xu Feng comforted her.

"But that scoundrel saw my undergarment and touched my face with his dirty hands!" Xiao Yilin wiped her face vigorously, as if something extremely disgusting had happened.

Xu Feng could easily imagine how Ling Yong had teased Xiao Yilin, and even thinking about it made him feel nauseous. Seeing Xiao Yilin's red, swollen eyes and the lingering fear in them, he could imagine how much harm Ling Yong's actions had caused her. Although there was no physical harm, for a young girl of sixteen, such actions by a man she despised would leave a deep psychological scar.

Looking at Xiao Yilin's fearful eyes, thinking about how the once lively and charming girl might become gloomy, Xu Feng felt a sharp pain in his heart.

"She is my Second Miss!"

Xu Feng took a deep breath, wiped away the tears from Xiao Yilin's eyes with his finger, and smiled at her, "Second Miss! It's okay! If he saw you, I'll blind his eyes. If he touched your face, I'll cut off his hands."

Hearing Xu Feng's words, Xiao Yilin's mood didn't improve. Xu Feng pulled her up and smiled, "Second Miss! Let's go and make Ling Yong apologize to you."

"Xu Feng..." Xiao Yilin was about to say something but was interrupted by Xu Feng's wave of his hand.

"Second Miss! Just follow me. Whatever he did to you, we'll make him pay," Xu Feng said with a smile.

"I won't make him pay! That would be too good for him!" Xiao Yilin glared at Xu Feng angrily.

Xu Feng was embarrassed, realizing the ambiguity in his words. Did he mean for Xiao Yilin to tease him back?

"Right! I won't make him pay! You can bully me instead!" Xu Feng said, "I don't mind if you take advantage of me!"

"You wish!" Xiao Yilin, comforted by Xu Feng, finally regained some of her composure, giving him a shy glare. However, when she saw Xu Feng's gaze through her torn clothes to her undergarment, she gasped and quickly wrapped herself in a blanket, extending her hand to block Xu Feng's eyes, "No peeking!"

Although Xu Feng wanted to tease her a bit, considering Xiao Yilin's condition, he quickly shrugged and turned his head away.

Xiao Yilin, seeing Xu Feng turn away, couldn't help but say in a low voice, "Xu Feng! He saw me too!"

"Second Miss! It's okay! I said I'll make him apologize to you," Xu Feng looked at Xiao Yilin, "Let's go! Come with me!"

Xiao Yilin stared into Xu Feng's eyes, then suddenly hugged him, whispering in his ear, "Xu Feng! It's okay! Don't worry about me!"

Seeing Xiao Yilin like this, Xu Feng's tenderness deepened, and he felt a stronger urge to deal with Ling Yong.

"Second Miss! Listen to me, change your clothes first, then we'll go find him," Xu Feng smiled at Xiao Yilin.

Xiao Yilin stared into Xu Feng's eyes for a long time before nodding vigorously and whispering, "Then turn around, I'll change my clothes!"

Xiao Yilin's words made Xu Feng's heart skip a beat. Although he was reluctant, under her gaze, he turned his head away.

"I'll count to three, and then I'll start changing. You're not allowed to look back!" Xiao Yilin's words made Xu Feng nod vigorously.

Xu Feng held his breath, waiting for Xiao Yilin to count. However, after a while, she still hadn't started, making Xu Feng a bit anxious. What was wrong with this Second Miss? Why wasn't she changing her clothes quickly?

Just as Xu Feng was getting anxious, he heard Xiao Yilin say, "One... two..."

When Xiao Yilin said "three," Xu Feng secretly turned his head, but when he did, he was stunned. Xiao Yilin had already changed her clothes and was staring at him with wide, round eyes.

Damn! I was tricked! This girl was waiting for me to fall for it! She started changing before she even counted, and I foolishly waited for her to count, missing the opportunity.

"Xu Feng..." Xiao Yilin's voice was loud, and she glared at Xu Feng with her hands on her hips.

Xu Feng weakly缩了缩脑袋, looking at Xiao Yilin and said in a low voice, "Second Miss! If I tell you my neck hurts and I couldn't help but turn, would you believe me?"

"Would I believe you?" Xiao Yilin glared at Xu Feng and said.

Xu Feng tilted his head, thinking for a moment, and then weakly said, "Probably not!"

Seeing Xu Feng's pitiful expression, Xiao Yilin almost burst out laughing. She glared at Xu Feng and huffed, raising her hand high. This made Xu Feng quickly close his eyes, bracing for her wrath.

However, after a moment, he felt a light tap on his face. In his surprise, Xiao Yilin's voice rang in his ear, "Xu Feng! If that scoundrel's eyes were blind, then only you would have seen my body."

This made Xu Feng's heart flutter. What did she mean? Her mother said only her future husband could see her body? Then...

But, how could seeing her in undergarments count? In his previous life, even a bikini didn't count! Second Miss was thinking too much. If she wanted him to take responsibility, at least the undergarments should be off.

Looking at Xiao Yilin's direct gaze, Xu Feng said, "Let's go! I'll make him apologize to you!"

"Okay!" Xiao Yilin nodded vigorously and left the room with Xu Feng.

"Yilin! Are you okay?" Xiao Lin exclaimed in relief when he saw Xiao Yilin finally willing to see people.

"Young Master! Do you know where Ling Yong is?" Xu Feng asked.

"At the Ling family? What for?" Xiao Lin asked, puzzled.

"Nothing! Just to make him apologize to Second Miss!" Xu Feng didn't explain further and pulled Xiao Yilin towards the door.

Xiao Lin was stunned and then reacted, his eyes wide with fear, "Xu Feng! You're not thinking of..."

But Xu Feng didn't slow down because of Xiao Lin's words, making Xiao Lin shout in alarm, "Xu Feng! Don't be impulsive. The Ling family is a den of tigers and dragons. Going there is suicide. I'll make Yilin's grievances right, but you mustn't be impulsive."

Xu Feng seemed not to hear Xiao Lin, his steps quick and steady. Xiao Lin and the servants stared in shock. Was Xu Feng crazy? Was he planning to go to the Ling family alone? That would be suicide.

Of course, the news of Xu Feng defeating Ye Hu hadn't reached here, but even if it had, they would still think Xu Feng was crazy. That was the Ling family's stronghold.

"Damn! Is this guy really crazy?"

Xiao Lin cursed, but he was also deeply moved that Xu Feng would do this for Xiao Yilin. A man doing this for his woman was commendable, but a servant doing this for his mistress was truly remarkable.
