Xu Nuo was taken aback, suddenly turning her head to look back. She saw a young man standing behind her, who had appeared at some unknown time.
His handsome face, melancholic eyes, and the curve of his lips made Xu Nuo momentarily lose her composure.
Xiao Feng raised the glass of red wine in his hand and offered her a glass, "Hehe, beautiful lady, if there's anything that's bothering you, you can tell me. I think I would be a good listener."
Xiao Feng's sincere smile infected Xu Nuo. Her tear-streaked face managed a weak smile, "Thank you." She reached out to take the red wine, nodding slightly.
Seeing the tears on Xu Nuo's face, Xiao Feng felt a mix of pity and curiosity. What could have happened to make this strong businesswoman cry and become so vulnerable?
At the ball, Xiao Feng had been paying attention to Xu Nuo all along. He noticed when Long Shao invited her, when she left, and the cold look in Long Shao's eyes. All of this was etched in Xiao Feng's mind.
"Hello, let me introduce myself. My name is Xiao Feng." Xiao Feng raised his right hand, the wine glass in it swaying.
As a strong businesswoman, Xu Nuo had excellent control over her emotions. At this moment, she had emerged from her sorrow, and a smile reappeared on her face, "Hello, my name is Xu Nuo."
"Xu Nuo, I saw you crying just now. What's wrong?" Xiao Feng played with his wine glass, asking softly.
Xu Nuo slowly shook her head, "Hehe, nothing, just a touch of sentiment. But what about you, why did you come out here?" As she said this, her eyes were fixed on the wine glass in Xiao Feng's hand.
Xiao Feng's lips curled up, thinking to himself, what a shrewd woman, no wonder she noticed Liu Liu. "Hehe, I came for you, Xu Nuo." Since she had already noticed, there was no point in hiding it, so Xiao Feng admitted it frankly.
"Oh? Did you prepare this glass of wine for me?" Xu Nuo looked at Xiao Feng with a half-smile.
Xiao Feng raised his wine glass, "Of course, Xu Nuo, you shine so brightly and captivate everyone. I'm just one of the many who are attracted to you."
The two glasses of wine gently clinked, the red wine rippling.
Xu Nuo only smiled faintly at Xiao Feng's praise, showing no other reaction. She had heard too much flattery over the years.
Although she knew Xiao Feng had followed her, Xu Nuo felt no annoyance.
For some reason, the two of them did not feel any distance between them, as if they were old friends, everything felt so casual and harmonious.
At the entrance to the balcony, the so-called 'Long Shao' clenched his fists, his eyes blazing with anger as he stared at the two people chatting on the balcony.
Long Shao was very angry and frustrated. Xu Nuo had said she was going to the restroom, but instead, he encountered her here. Not only that, but she was chatting and laughing with a stranger, a young man. Where did this leave him?!
"Damn it!" Long Shao gritted his teeth, cursing in his heart. But on the surface, he wore a smile and walked towards the two, "Sister Nuo, weren't you feeling unwell? Hehe, who is this?" His gaze swept over Xiao Feng, full of threats and warnings.
Hearing Long Shao's voice, Xu Nuo's expression changed slightly, and she quickly smiled, "Hehe, it's Long Shao. It was too stuffy inside, so I came out for some fresh air, maybe it would make me feel better." After saying this, she gave Xiao Feng a look, signaling him to leave quickly and not to offend Long Shao.
Xiao Feng smiled, raised his head, and drank the red wine in his glass, looking at Long Shao, "My name is Xiao Feng. A big shot like Long Shao surely wouldn't know me."
Hearing Xiao Feng's words, Xu Nuo felt a slight relief. She was really afraid that Long Shao would target Xiao Feng, given his status. She knew Long Shao's intentions and his narrow-minded nature.
Seeing Xiao Feng's approach, Long Shao nodded in satisfaction, retracting his gaze, "Hmm, it's an honor to know me."
"Hehe, is that so?" Xiao Feng looked at Long Shao with a hint of amusement, saying lightly, "Actually, that's what I wanted to say too."
As soon as Xiao Feng finished speaking, Long Shao's face turned completely dark! In Jiuquan, few people dared to speak to him like that!
Xu Nuo's face changed dramatically, thinking to herself, it's over, it's over! Although she had known Xiao Feng for a short time, they had gotten along well, and she didn't want to see him hurt.
"Long Shao, hehe, can I ask you for a dance?" Xu Nuo quickly stepped forward, standing between the two, smiling at Long Shao.
Xiao Feng felt a warmth in his heart, wondering if this woman was afraid for his safety?
"Want to dance? Sure. But after I teach this guy a lesson." Long Shao's eyes turned cold, pushing Xu Nuo aside. Growing up, no one had ever dared to offend him like this. Even if they did, they ended up in a sack at the bottom of the river!
Long Shao took a few steps forward, staring at Xiao Feng, "Kid, I'll show you the consequences of offending me."
"Hehe," Xiao Feng laughed with disdain, not even looking at Long Shao, turning his head, "Xu Nuo, go back first. I have something to talk to Long Shao about." He gave her a reassuring look.
Xu Nuo hesitated, "You're going to talk?"
"Yep, hehe. Go, I'll find you at the ball later." Xiao Feng nodded, his tone light but firm.
After much hesitation, Xu Nuo finally nodded, saying softly, "Be careful, he's Feng Er's son. Say something nice and apologize."
Hearing Xu Nuo's words, Xiao Feng's eyes narrowed, then returned to normal, "I know, don't worry, Xu Nuo." He gave her a comforting hug.
Xu Nuo's body trembled slightly, nodded, and turned to leave.
Long Shao watched Xiao Feng hug Xu Nuo, his eyes blazing with anger, growling, "Xiao Feng, I'll kill you tonight."
Seeing Xu Nuo leave, Xiao Feng turned his head, smiling wickedly, staring at Long Shao, "Kid, stop barking, a dog that bites doesn't bark."
Long Shao was taken aback, then furious, "Damn it, I'll knock your teeth out and throw you into the river right now."
"Ha, Feng Er likes to drown people, and I didn't expect his son to like it too. But unfortunately, compared to Feng Er, you lack his resolve. Ah, a tiger father, a dog son. You should be called a worm, not a dragon!" Xiao Feng mocked.
Long Shao's eyes widened, "How do you know about my father...?" How could Xiao Feng know his father's habits? This was impossible!
Xiao Feng shook his head, "I don't know him. A great man like Feng Er, how could I know him? Hey, but I'm confident I can beat you to a pulp today, so even your father Feng Er won't recognize you."
Xiao Feng's smile remained, but he smashed the glass of wine into Long Shao's head.
Long Shao was shocked; he didn't expect this kid to actually attack! But as the son of Feng Er, who controlled both the black and white worlds in Jiuquan, he couldn't be a pushover.
"Looking for death." Long Shao roared, his body suddenly retreating, and he leaped into the air, his right foot kicking viciously at Xiao Feng's head.
The glass shattered on the ground with a crisp sound, fragments flying.
Although the wine glass didn't hit Long Shao, Xiao Feng's smile didn't change. Instead, he nodded, "Hmm, that's more like the son of Feng Er. Come on, let me see how strong the son of Feng Er really is!"
He raised his left hand to block Long Shao's kick, took two diagonal steps, and punched towards Long Shao's chest with his right hand.
Long Shao felt his foot hit Xiao Feng's arm like a steel plate, causing intense pain, making his face twitch. But he had no time to think, feeling the fierce wind from Xiao Feng's punch, he fell to the ground in a very awkward position.
A hint of mockery flashed in Xiao Feng's eyes. He loosened his fist into a claw, grabbed Long Shao's clothes, and threw him towards the railing.
"Ah!" Long Shao screamed, his body crashing into the balcony railing and falling to the ground.
Xiao Feng smirked, "Kid, not bad skills." He paused, turned around, and said lightly, "But not good enough. I'll let you go today for the sake of Feng Er's old face." Then he left the balcony.
Long Shao lay on the ground, his eyes flashing with viciousness, "Xiao Feng, I'll kill you, I'll kill you!" He pounded the ground with his fist.
Growing up, he had never been so humiliated, being thrown around like a dead dog. He grabbed his phone, dialed a number, and said in a sinister tone, "Uncle Xu, help me find someone. His name is Xiao Feng!"
"I won't let you live through tonight, absolutely not!!" Long Shao slowly got up, roaring to the sky.
Xiao Feng, returning to the ball, seemed to hear Long Shao's roar, his steps pausing, a mocking smile on his lips, "Kill me? We'll see if you have the ability." Then he shook his head, "How did Feng Er raise such a bastard son?"
"Xiao Feng, are you okay?" Suddenly, an anxious voice rang out, and Xu Nuo quickly walked over, grabbing Xiao Feng's hand, "Let's go quickly."
Xiao Feng smiled, pulling Xu Nuo, who was about to leave, "What's the rush, I'm fine."
Xu Nuo shook her head, "You don't know Feng Long's character, he's narrow-minded and won't let you go." She finished speaking and pulled Xiao Feng's hand, leading him out.
Xiao Feng pursed his lips, saying nothing more, and let Xu Nuo lead him out of the ball.
Once they reached the ground floor, Xu Nuo's expression improved, "Where are you going? I'll take you home. Leave Jiuquan tomorrow and hide for a while."
"Hide? There won't be any beautiful women holding my hand outside." Xiao Feng felt the softness of Xu Nuo's hand, his nature emerging, teasing her, not caring about being elegant or gentlemanly.
Hearing Xiao Feng's words, Xu
