“Alright, the Royal Clubhouse it is. Let’s go!” Zhao Ling Xian suddenly became much happier and she skipped out of the villa.
She had used Qin Feng as a meat shield partially so she could punish him. She wanted him to pay the price for rescinding the marriage and forcing that kiss on her.
The capital’s Liang family was no ordinary family. Zhao Ling Xian became excited just from thinking of the possibility of these 2 men fighting.
Women were indeed very dangerous animals!
“Kid, you can go now. I’m going to have a candlelit dinner with Miss Zhao Ling Xian, so you can go off and do your own thing.” As soon as they left the villa, Liang Sheng discarded his gentlemanly act and looked at Qin Feng like a ruffian.
Liang Sheng was only 21-years-old; he was the youngest in the grandchildren’s generation of the capital’s Liang family. He was about the same age as Qin Feng. In the capital, he had 2 elder brothers looking after him, so he acted fearlessly and lawlessly, and there was nothing he didn’t dare to do.
Before, he had showed restraint in front of Zhao Da Hai. After all, he needed to act decently in front of his potential father-in-law. However, he was raring to give Qin Feng a good beating.
You dare to show me up, young master Liang? There’s no one alive who dares to do such a thing.
“What a pity. I’ve already asked Ling Xian on a date for tonight, so it looks like the person who will have to leave is you.” Qin Feng didn’t get angry, and instead calmly smiled at Liang Sheng.
Anger flashed in Liang Sheng’s eyes. If they were in the capital and if anyone dared to talk to him like this, he would have slapped them long ago.
However, this was the Acropolis City, and Zhao Ling Xian was standing right there. As such, he couldn’t use violence against Qin Feng, and darkly said, “Brat, there are some people you can’t afford to offend. Otherwise, you won’t even know how you died.”
“Haha, is that so? I want to try it.” Qin Feng didn’t feel scared at all, and instead gave a dazzling smile.
Within the Acropolis City, there really wasn’t anyone who he couldn’t afford to offend.
Liang Sheng couldn’t help but re-evaluate Qin Feng. What sort of background did he have to be able to remain so calm and collected? After falling silent for a few moments, he asked, “Brat, what is your relationship to Zhao Ling Xian?”
“Liang Sheng, he’s my boyfriend. You’ve seen him today, so give up already!” Before Qin Feng could even speak, Zhao Ling Xian hugged his arm as she coldly looked at Liang Sheng.
This person relied on the Liang family’s background, and was incredibly arrogant and self-important. Zhao Ling Xian didn’t like him at all.
On the other hand, while Qin Feng was the Acropolis City’s richest man’s only son, he didn’t have the attitude of a high and mighty young master at all.
Unknowingly, Zhao Ling Xian had started to compare every man she met to Qin Feng.
The smile on Liang Sheng’s face disappeared, and his face darkened. “Haha, Miss Zhao, if I’m right, he should just be a normal friend. If you really think of him as a friend, don’t try to use him to trick me. You know my methods - anyone who dares to steal my woman won’t have a happy ending.”
“You can believe what you want. Let’s go, don’t pay any attention to him anymore.” Zhao Ling Xian felt extremely irritated by such a bare threat, and she pulled Qin Feng as she walked away.
Liang Sheng suddenly started to laugh coldly, “Miss Zhao, if you’re determined to stick to this brat, I’ll have to ask Uncle Zhao if he really is your boyfriend or not.”
Zhao Ling Xian suddenly stopped walking. She definitely couldn’t allow him to go ask her father. If he did, he would definitely scare her father and Uncle Huang to death.
“What do you want?” Zhao Ling Xian said as she angrily glared at Liang Sheng.
“Nothing much, didn’t Miss Zhao say that she would go with me to the Royal Clubhouse? You can’t have forgotten already, right?”
A gentlemanly smile reappeared on Liang Sheng’s face and he opened the car’s door as he said, “If you would please, Miss Zhao. My Porsche 911 can only seat 2 people. As for your friend, if he wants to come, he can take a taxi. However, it’s best that he arrives before me. You need to be a VIP to enter the Royal Clubhouse, so if he’s late, he’ll only be able to squat outside and have the wind for dinner.”
Qin Feng might not be able to enter the Royal Clubhouse? Zhao Ling Xian almost wanted to laugh.
“Haha, don’t worry, Mr Liang, I’ve got a private ride.” Qin Feng once again calmly smiled. He stretched his hand out to Zhao Ling Xian beside him, saying, “Ling Xian, if you’re not used to riding in sports cars, you can come with me in my private ride.”
“Alright.” Without even having to think about it, Zhao Ling Xian agreed to go with Qin Feng.
However, when she came to Qin Feng’s ‘private ride’, Zhao Ling Xian was dumbfounded.
This was an old and shabby Retro 28” Bicycle. It could already be considered an antique, and it was entirely possible someone had thrown it away.
“Qin Feng, can you give yourself some face. You’re always trying to look cool with your Batmobile at the university; are you trying to make me look like an idiot?” Zhao Ling Xian secretly gave Qin Feng a savage pinch on his waist and almost stamped her feet in anger.
Before, Liang Sheng had been full of anger, but when he saw Qin Feng’s ‘private ride’, he couldn’t help but laugh loudly, “Aiyo, holy crap, Miss Zhao, your friend is the most amusing person I’ve ever met. I’m sure you’ll be coming in my Porsche, right? If you go on that bicycle, you’ll be having a midnight snack instead, haha!”
Liang Sheng looked at Qin Feng like he was an idiot. Only a mentally deranged person would want to race against his Porsche with a an old 28” bicycle.
He felt incredibly pleased, and could almost see Zhao Ling Xian slapping Qin Feng in anger, then coming over to his Porsche.
“You can go first. I quite like riding bicycles at night. You can feel the evening breeze against your skin, and it’s eco-friendly too.” While Liang Sheng was still fantasising, Zhao Ling Xian coldly spoke, completely shocking him.
“That’s right, bicycles are incredibly convenient. You don’t need to refuel, and you can go wherever you want. Come on, Ling Xian, big brother’s going to take you for a good ride.” Qin Feng said as he laughed and looked at Liang Sheng.
Zhao Ling Xian had probably never ridden on a bicycle before. After she got on, she couldn’t help swaying. In the end, Qin Feng wrapped an arm around her and hugged her from behind, thus stabilising the bicycle.
Feeling Qin Feng so close to her, Zhao Ling Xian couldn’t help but think of the passionate kiss they had shared. Her face couldn’t help but become red. Luckily, it was quite dark, so it wasn’t quite visible.
“Mr Liang, we’ll be leaving first. You should drive quickly, or we won’t wait for you and will go in and play if you’re too slow.” Qin Feng started to pedal the bicycle as he felt Zhao Ling Xian’s slim waist, happily leaving.
This was the first time he had ridden on a bike as well, and at first, he couldn’t control it quite well. They swayed quite violently, causing Zhao Ling Xian to yell and pinch him many times. However, Qin Feng was able to learn quite quickly, and steadily rode along with Zhao Ling Xian amidst the evening breeze.
Seeing the two people slowly disappearing, Liang Sheng was so furious that he almost wanted to crash into Qin Feng and kill him.
He continuously cursed inwardly. You want to arrive first on a crappy and old bicycle? Your head must have been kicked by a donkey. And so what if you arrive first? Without a VIP card, you’ll still have to goddamn wait for your elder to take you in…
“Ahhhh Qin Feng, what’s that under you? It’s all hard and it’s sticking into my butt.” After exiting the district, Zhao Ling Xian found that there was something odd. She felt quite uncomfortable with something hard poking her butt.
She reached out to move it away, but when her hand came into contact with it, it was as if she had lost her soul and her body froze.
Mmm! Qin Feng let out a moan in pleasure.
“Ahhhhh… Qin Feng, stop the bicycle. I want to get off right now! I’m going to kill you, you beast, you pervert! Ahhhh!!” Zhao Ling Xian started to go crazy, and furiously struggled in protest. The bicycle violently swayed, and they almost crashed multiple times.
Qin Feng also felt a bit awkward. He quickly tried to calm her down, “Little sister Ling Xian, stop making a ruckus. The more you do this, the longer it’s going to take for it to settle down.”
Zhao Ling Xian suddenly stopped moving, and peacefully sat on the bicycle for 2 minutes, which felt like 2 centuries. However, that thing indeed settled down.
A bustling night view greeted their eyes, and a cool breeze from the river blew over. Zhao Ling Xian felt as if she had returned to her younger days, when her mother had stolen all of their money and left their family almost penniless.
During that period of time, her father had ridden this sort of 28” bicycle to take her to school. Although they would often be laughed at by richer students, Zhao Ling Xian remembered and treasured those moments dearly. This was because only when she went to school or came back from school could she spend time with her father. She felt incredibly blissful and safe while riding with her father.
“Little sister Ling Xian, you can’t have fallen asleep, right?” Qin Feng felt a bit weird after seeing that Zhao Ling Xian had fallen silent after making a ruckus the entire trip.
“Qin Feng, in future, can you take me riding on your bicycle as well?” Zhao Ling Xian was in a bit of a daze, and a rare look of bliss appeared on her face. After saying this, even she felt a bit shocked.
She found that she was slowly starting to rely on Qin Feng.
“Sure, as long as you’re not afraid of hard things poking your butt, I’m fine with it,” Qin Feng teased.
Zhao Ling Xian once against started to yell and pinched his leg many times, before suddenly saying, “Qin Feng, can you ride faster?”
“No problem.”
After speaking, he started to accelerate. After breaking through to Stage 1 and drinking 2 Strength Potions, Qin Feng’s body was incredibly strong.
He continuously accelerated and his legs actually started to leave behind afterimages. After breaking through to Stage 1, he hadn’t truly trained his body, so this was decent training for him.
The gentle evening breeze became quite intense. If it wasn’t because Qin Feng was holding down Zhao Ling Xian’s skirt, she would have felt like she was going to fly off.
The trees on the side blurred and quickly disappeared, and they even left cars behind them. They were moving so fast and it seemed that the air was moving so fast that Zhao Ling Xian found it difficult to breathe.
She slowly closed her eyes and let a smile bloom on her face. Just like a blossoming flower, she looked so beautiful that she could cause someone to become intoxicated just from looking at her. However, it only lasted for a moment before it disappeared.
She suddenly remembered many things from her childhood. She had been a lonely child who had been abandoned by her mother. She was a young girl who lacked joy and happiness in her childhood. She was a cold and arrogant princess, a poor bug whose marriage had been rescinded.
She recalled memories from primary school until now, and her tears slid down her face. It was quiet all around them, and all they could hear was the wind.
However, she quite enjoyed this feeling. She even thought that just riding like this, with Qin Feng pedalling and her sitting in front of him, it wouldn’t be too bad to ride until the end of time.
At least, at this moment, she didn’t feel lonely, and didn’t feel like she was the only person in the world.
