After learning a bit more about Miss Xue from Yu Xiaowei, Lin Xinyuan felt relieved, certain that there was no entanglement between her and her boyfriend.
It was just that Miss Xue had a one-sided crush on that yellow-haired brat and almost got engaged to him…
If anything had actually happened, Lin Xinyuan decided she would ignore that guy for a whole month!
Just as the two were still chatting, the door opened again, and a tall figure walked in.
Following the sound, who else could it be but Qin Nanfeng?
“Oh, your man’s here… Well then, Classmate Lin, I’ll be off~” Yu Xiaowei teased, standing up and tactfully preparing to leave.
Lin Xinyuan’s face reddened slightly. “Mm, okay… Goodbye, Club President…”
Although Yu Xiaowei had already graduated and was no longer the club president, Lin Xinyuan still habitually called her that.
As she passed by the young man, Yu Xiaowei gave him a playful wink, but Qin Nanfeng merely glanced at her expressionlessly and said nothing.
Click—
When the lounge door closed again, only the two remained in the room.
Qin Nanfeng walked straight toward the girl, his gaze constantly sweeping over Lin Xinyuan, deeply captivated.
“Xiaoyuan, you look beautiful today…” He sat down beside her, unable to resist reaching out to touch her fair, delicate collarbone.
His Adam’s apple rolled almost imperceptibly, and his voice was low.
“Feng Ge… you… you look great too…”
Looking at the young man in his well-fitted suit, breathing in his scent, Lin Xinyuan felt her heartbeat quicken.
Her skin prickled as he touched it, and the end of her sentence trembled. His hand felt scorching hot, as if it could melt her.
It made her heart flutter but also uneasy, as if he might pounce on her without thinking…
This wasn’t an exaggeration. She had zero trust in Qin Nanfeng in this regard — the man was practically a pervert…
“Mm.” Qin Nanfeng chuckled softly, but suddenly, his hand moved downward.
“Ah! What are you doing?!” Lin Xinyuan was startled, letting out an involuntary gasp, thinking he was going to do that kind of thing here.
Her body jerked, and she instinctively tried to stand, but caught off guard, she was no match for his speed.
He immediately pressed her back down, and she couldn’t move.
Panicked, Lin Xinyuan closed her eyes, but after a moment, she realized… nothing seemed to be happening?
Cautiously opening her eyes, she was surprised to find Qin Nanfeng gently touching her calf beneath her skirt.
“You… mm…” Lin Xinyuan was puzzled.
Just as she was about to say something, her feet were gently lifted and placed on his thighs.
That incredibly hot hand lifted the light skirt, revealing the girl’s bruised and swollen ankle.
“Does it hurt?”
Qin Nanfeng’s gaze was focused, and when he turned to look at her, his eyes were filled with tenderness.
“It’s… it’s okay…”
Being looked at so gently by the person she loved made Lin Xinyuan’s face flush with embarrassment, but she still stubbornly said that.
But as soon as she spoke, Qin Nanfeng pressed his index finger against the edge of the swelling, immediately making Lin Xinyuan hiss several times in pain.
“Okay? Such a hard mouth,” Qin Nanfeng chuckled softly, then, as if remembering something, his tone carried a hint of meaning. “Mm… sometimes it’s also very soft…”
“Soft your head!”
Lin Xinyuan was both embarrassed and angry, wanting to slap that yellow-haired brat.
She thought to herself, this guy really was a pervert who couldn’t go a moment without getting horny…
But in the end, she didn’t curse him anymore. She just turned her cat-like face away in shame and stubbornness.
Seeing this, Qin Nanfeng didn’t mind. He simply took a small bottle from his suit pants pocket and opened it.
The smell of herbal liniment made the girl want to look over, but she felt her shoe being taken off, and then a burning pain shot through her ankle.
She gritted her teeth to hold back a cry of pain.
“Gently… mm… gently… it hurts a bit…”
Qin Nanfeng raised an eyebrow. “Hurts, huh? Then bear with it. Don’t be so stubborn.”
If Qin Mother hadn’t whispered to him that this girl was probably going to tough it out until the banquet ended, she might have had trouble even getting on stage…
But even as he said that, his movements on her delicate skin gradually softened.
The atmosphere in the lounge grew quiet, broken only by the occasional soft whimper from the girl, making the mood in the room somewhat ambiguous…
Actually, Lin Xinyuan didn’t want to be like this.
If she were still Lin Xinyuan from before, she wouldn’t have reacted so… so girlishly over such a minor injury…
But somehow, ever since she became a girl, her nerves felt way more sensitive than before.
What used to seem like a small injury to her now caused pain beyond her expectations.
And also… maybe it was because he was by her side, but she couldn’t help wanting to act a little weaker…
So hot… so comfortable…
Lin Xinyuan’s body hurt, but her heart was happy.
She felt her whole body tingling from the warmth of that big hand, her body heating up so much that she unconsciously parted her pink lips slightly and took shallow breaths.
Noticing her own unusual behavior, she quickly restrained herself, afraid he might notice.
She didn’t want that yellow-haired brat to think she was a little pervert and laugh at her.
But little did she know, he had already noticed from the corner of his eye.
He just chose not to call her out, quietly watching, looking for more of her weaknesses…
“All done.”
After spending some time rubbing her ankle, Qin Nanfeng spoke up in time to let her know.
Although a little reluctant, Lin Xinyuan obediently moved her foot away and carefully put her shoe back on.
Whether it was psychological or not, it did feel a bit better.
She thought she could at least make it through until the banquet ended.
After Qin Nanfeng went to the washroom to wash off the medicinal oil from his hands, he came back and extended his big hand to the girl. “Come on, it’s time for us to go on stage.”
The young man’s smile was gentle and relaxed, his eyes full of affection as he stared intently at the girl, making Lin Xinyuan’s already restless heart beat even more erratically.
“Okay…” The gloom in Lin Xinyuan’s heart instantly faded, replaced by a sweet, light smile. Her adorable dimples seemed capable of melting ice and snow, and they melted the young man’s heart as well.
She placed her small hand in Qin Nanfeng’s. His big hand closed, completely enveloping her slender fingers.
The pressure of facing the crowd below the stage seemed to vanish in that moment.
As long as she was with Feng Ge, she feared nothing in the world…
“Don’t be afraid. I’ve got everything.”
“Mm… I… trust Feng Ge…”
In the hall, the venue was already set up, and the seats below were filled with people.
Most were influential figures in Tianbei City’s business circle.
They had brought their families and were waiting for the two main protagonists of this banquet to appear.
Whispers never stopped, all of them discussions. Everyone had their own thoughts…
They didn’t have to wait long.
When a tall, handsome young man in a black suit led a breathtakingly beautiful girl onto the stage, rhythmic applause immediately erupted from below.
The process was not complicated. First, the two protagonists each delivered prepared speeches.
Lin Xinyuan steadied her mind and managed to force a sweet yet dignified smile, thanking the guests together with the young man.
Then came the blessing from Qin’s parents on stage. Qin Mother even specially took on the role of Lin Mother, offering blessings to the two of them…
Under everyone’s witness, the shy girl extended her left hand, while the young man gazed at her tenderly.
He gently slipped the simple yet elegant engagement ring onto her slender, fair finger.
Finally, the audience offered their congratulations again, officially concluding the ceremony.
The subsequent banquet was essentially a business dinner…
After stepping off the stage, Lin Xinyuan kept staring at the ring on her left middle finger, grinning foolishly.
From today onward, she was Feng Ge’s fiancée. And since the two of them had already been intimate, they were practically half-married…
Ah… how wonderful…
Seeing this, Qin Nanfeng couldn’t help but shake his head. “Little fool…”
“You’re the fool!” Lin Xinyuan grumbled in dissatisfaction.
“Does your foot still hurt?”
“Ah… it hurts…”
“Tsk… silly Xiaoyuan… I’ll rub it for you again later…”
“Mm…”
“……”
