Chapter 36

Xi Melian thought what his mistress said was right. Li Luxian was known to hate women. He couldn’t tolerate their presence and Wang Huailing had been keeping an eye on him for a long time. If he had any lover, she would have known.

"And what did elder Li Guang say on this matter?", Wang Huailing asked.

"He didn’t give any formal statement. Ms. Wang’s father had gone to him yesterday to discuss the matter. And elder Li Guang said that he would resolve this matter in a week time"

"By resolving what did he mean? Annulling the engagement with Wang family or getting rid of that girl in scandal?"

"That is not clear. Li Guang intentionally kept his words equivocal. However, he declared that he would take action, in favor of us or against us, in a week time"

"Then we have just a week time to act"

What hurt Wang Huailing the most was that the girl was kissing her Li Luxian. How dare she! He was hers! Countless times, she had dreamed about kissing him, touching him to get a slight indication of affection. But she had never dared to approach him because of his bad temper when it came to women. Li Luxian wouldn’t even let her hold hands with her.

And yet that woman dared to kiss her Li Luxian!

"Ms. Wang then what to do next?"

Wang Huailing smirked.

"You know what to do next"

Xi Melian understood. They were to do the same thing they were doing with past suitors of Mr. Li. They bribed them to back off and if they still didn’t back off, violence was used. They used their connections to harass the person until she gave up. And if she was still stubborn, they simply made the person disappear.

But now the threat seemed severe.

"And this time no need to bribe her first. Get her identity and I’ll deal with her personally"

"Yes, Ms. Wang. I’ll get the identity of that girl as soon as possible"

- Then Ill have to discipline my wife.

- Then Ill have to discipline my wife.

- Then I'll have to discipline my wife.

Chen Feng was having a beautiful and lovely dream where she had her cousin, Chen Mian along with her ex Fu Jianguo, tied to a chair as she was slowly cutting their fingers and electrocuting them. She was getting at the best part where Chen Feng was driving a hot, red in rod through Mian’s heart. The red hot iron burnt their flesh as they screamed in agony when suddenly, exactly at : pm, her phone rang loudly jolting her out of her deep relishing dream.

She groaned as she moved her hands randomly over the bed searching for the cell while still having her eyes closed.

Forcing her eyes to open, Chen Feng looked at the caller’s ID.

Private number.

And she couldn’t think twice who could it be.

"Mr. Li?", Chen Feng picked up the call and said his name with an unsure voice.

Why did he call her at such an hour?

Was he planning to terminate the contract?

"My wife is awake", Li Luxian cheerful voice came.

Chen Feng was silenced. He was still calling her his wife. That meant that he was not planning to terminate the contract.

"Mr. Li called me for...?"

"To tell you to get ready for the dinner"

Chen Feng was stunned for a moment. She glanced at the wall clock.

"But it’s only : pm yet"

"Yes"

"Didn’t you say that we would be getting out at pm?"

"Yes, I did"

"Then there are at least hours to get ready"

"I like to do things at their scheduled time. So I called you to remind you so you don’t get late"

Chen Feng was not happy. She so badly wanted to scream ’It is a dinner! Not a f**king business meeting!’

But she altered her curses to politer words keeping in mind the identity of the person she was addressed with.

"I was sleeping. You called me and woke me up three hours early. Mr. Li, don’t you think it was unnecessary?"

"I don’t think so at all"

Chen Feng: "..."

"Wife. Wife....", Li Luxian said playfully, "Sleeping during daytime is not a good habit. From now on consider me your personal trainer who will bring you under a nicer routine and end our all bad habits"

Chen Feng, who loved to sleep whenever she wanted and wherever she wanted, wailed silently.

There was no such thing in the contract! If there was, she wouldn’t ever sign!

She loves her bad habits!

She attempted to persuade him with a little hope in her heart.

"Mr. Li I would rather like it if you could let me sleep more. I’m a little sluggish person"

"But that’s not a good habit"

"I insist"

"No. As your husband, it is my duty to teach my wife good from bad"

Chen Feng wanted to remind him that they were not married yet for him to call him her husband. But she abandoned the idea considering that he was not going to listen to her anyway so she used an alternative approach.

"What if your wife wishes to be a little bad?"

"Then I’ll have to discipline her.", Li Luxian said in a deep, hoarse voice.

Chen Feng shuddered. Her heart pounded. Suddenly all her sleepiness vanished and she was wide awake.

Why did it sound so wrong to her?

She should stop reading those R-rated novels.

As if realizing why did Chen Feng quieten suddenly, Li Luxian laughed and said.

"Be ready at pm. I’ll be picking you up from the backside of the building"

And the call was cut.

Chen Feng contemplated if Li Luxian was acting so teasing when they were not married, how would he t*****e her once they got married? She sighed and got out to get ready. After all, he was successful in terminating her desire to sleep anymore.

If she was to lay down now, she wouldn’t be able to stop herself from thinking about him.

Time passed quickly as Chen Feng lazily got herself ready for the dinner. She couldn’t believe it. Was she really going out on a date with the heir of Li corporation? That man who was the dream of so many girls! Everything seemed so unreal to her. The bell rang loudly jolting Chen Feng out of her thoughts. She frowned as she looked at the clock.

: pm.

It couldn’t be Mr. Li. She knew that he was someone who wouldn’t be a minute late or early.

- Barking of clueless dogs

- Barking of clueless dogs

- Barking of clueless dogs

Chen Feng opened the door. With a frown she said.

"Mr. Xhi what are you doing here at this hour?", Chen Feng could smell trouble. There was a huge crowd outside. Liu Chao was among the crowd with her minions. A lot of aunties were also standing to treasure the drama. Mr. Xhi was also there with a grim face with his two other assistants. He was the building manager of the residential area where Chen Feng stayed.

"You dare to ask that!’, Lui Chao barked, "You seduced a man like Li Luxian and tarnished our society good name. Do you think we will let you off with that?"

And it didn’t take another minute for Chen Feng to conclude that it was all Lui Chao doing.

"Oh, did I? How did I do that exactly?", Chen Feng asked in a calm, tranquil voice that didn’t show any hint of anger as that one could not expect from someone who was being affronted.

"Don’t play dumb games!", Lui Chao said contemptuously as she was further infuriated on her inability to enrage Chen Feng, "We all know that the girl in the scandal is you. Mr. Li had a fiance. The whole world is cursing the girl who took advantage of Mr. Li and resulted in him breaking his engagement with a fairy-like lady Wang Hualing. The whole world is aware of your shameless actions so don’t dare to deny it!"

Chen Feng thought it was expected. The way the whole media was slandering the girl in the scandal. It was backed and urged by the Wang family to do so to pressurize the Li family. So the general public held bitterness towards that mysterious girl. And Lui Chao didn’t waste a second to get an advantage of it assuming that the girl in the scandal was Chen Feng.

As for now, Li Luxian was keeping the media from disclosing her identity. If her identity was disclosed before she got married to Li Luxian, it would result in nasty consequences for Chen Feng.

At that moment the crowd held a lot of bitterness towards the girl in scandal as a consequence of media efficacious slandering.

"How are you so sure that the girl in the scandal is me?", she stated calmly.

That took everyone off guard because previously they had been totally persuaded by Lui Chao that it was her. The thought never occurred to them that it could be someone other than Chen Feng.

At this time, it was the right moment for the minions that Lui Chao brought in, to bark.

"It is you. We all know it", one of girl siding Lui Chao said bitterly.

"She’s being shameless.", another one tsked, "Now that her shameless actions are revealed she is trying to blatantly deny them"

"No wonder she was abandoned by her family", another minion said.

"But alas it was our misfortune that she found our neighborhood to live. Now our good reputation will be tarnished by her"

Chen Feng’s expressions were cold as if she was unaffected by their slandering. She was a strong woman and the predicaments of the past had imprinted self-control and assiduity in her temperament. So she didn’t lose her cool and laughed belittling their accusations and carefully selected her next words.

"Do you think the whole media is i***t? Could they not tell that the girl in the scandal was me?", she said in her strong, calm and tranquil voice that was a melody to the ears as it could melt anyone’s heart through its gentleness and firmness it held, "They are following Mr. Li hours. If they suspected me in the slightest, they would have put my face in headlines"

What Chen Feng said made sense and was irrefutable. Lui Chao had notified her cousin Lui Xun, that was a generalist, about Chen Feng and Mr. Li in hopes of getting Chen Feng face upfront in media and getting her in trouble but there was no response from her cousin side.

At that time the thought occurred to her that the girl in the scandal might not be Chen Feng.

But that didn’t deny the fact that Mr. Li kissed Chen Feng and she had his attention and favor.

That point was enough to flare the flames of jealousy in Lui Chao’s heart.

"So what are you denying that you have anything to do with Mr. Li?", Lui Chao said bitterly
