Mr. Tycoon's Daring Wife Chapter 149 She Should've Said So Sooner

"W-well, my marital relationship is safely sailing, but because work so late into the night, she's usually half-asleep when I get home—" Chen Gaonan rambled, purposely hinting to Yang Feng to lessen the massive workload on him.
"Useless." Yang Feng interjected, his words hurting Chen Gaonan deeply.
"W-wasn't that what you wanted to hear?" Chen Gaonan was confused. His Boss wanted to know about the relationship with his wife, so he said it, but why was the Big Boss unsatisfied?!
"Find me an expert in relationship advice." Yang Feng opened his laptop and tried to get to work, but was struggling to do so. His mind was heavily occupied by Zhao Lifei's words. What did she mean to read between the lines?!
Chen Gaonan realized the issue was about Zhao Lifei. A displeased frown overcame his face. The woman was distracting the Big Boss from his work again?!
Yang Feng saw the expression on his secretary's face, and spoke up, "What? You have a problem?" His delivery was smooth and placid, but the underlying message was dangerous.
Chen Gaonan immediately shook his head. "No, I'd never—" He was cut-off by the distinct ringtone of none other than Yang Ruqin. He looked at his phone, then at his irked Big Boss.
Miss Yang, this is not the right time to piss your brother off any further! But he didn't dare to hang up and leave the affluent woman on voicemail, and reluctantly spoke up again. "Boss, Miss Yang is calling—"
"Ignore it." Yang Feng muttered, completely distracted, until his eyes sharpened and an idea came to mind. "Actually, pick it up." Why consult a relationship expert when he had his younger sister, the ultimate information book?
"Right away, Sir." Chen Gaonan said, picking up the call right as it was about to enter voicemail. He hurriedly handed the phone to Yang Feng and immediately, the pitiful voice of Yang Ruqin ranged out.
"Feng-ge, do you hate me?" She cried, her voice filled with sorrow. "Why must you confine me at home and snitch on me?! How can you forsake me like this?" She sobbed.
For the past five days, she was locked in her room with no connections to the outside world! She had finally managed to convince her parents to give her the phone, for she couldn't stand this lockdown anymore! Her manager was going to release all the wrath of hell upon her, and her reputation and work life were really suffering from her brother's tyrannical ways!
"I've been such a good younger sister! I was the one who convinced Feifei into coming around and stop being so stubborn—"
"I'll let you out of the house."
"Wait, really?!" Yang Ruqin shrieked, her melancholic tone quickly shifting into an overly-excited one. Wow, that was quick! Usually, she would have to scream, throw a tantrum, and threaten to hold her breath until she turned blue to get her older brother to relent.
"On one condition." Yang Feng was impressed to hear his younger sister's accomplishments. If there was anyone he was close to that knew Zhao Lifei the best, it would be his obnoxious sister.
"What is it? Is it the boy toy? Don't worry, I kicked him to the curb a long time ago!" Yang Ruqin wagged her tail, ready to agree to anything her brother asked her to do.
"Have you spoken to Lifei recently?"
His question took her by surprise. She nearly responded with, 'Of course not! You had my phone taken away, how could I contact my precious Feifei?!' But she did not have the guts like her Feifei to say something like this, thus, said, "No. Why?"
"Nevermind. You're useless too." He muttered, ready to hang up the call, but she quickly responded, "It's because you took away my phone!"
She thought about it for a few seconds and hurriedly added on, "I'll speak to her right away after this call. Is there something you want me to discuss with her? Feng-ge, you know I'm very competent when it comes to Feifei right? Have some faith in me!" She rushed to make her point, in fear that he would hang up and she would lose her only means of escaping this prison cell known as her house.
"Convince her to see me as more than a friend."
Yang Ruqin blinked, her mouth opening and closing. B-but, Feifei already sees you more than just a friend! What's going on?!
"What do you mean? Feifei is madly in love with you, she already sees you more than that." She threw in subtle boot-licking in hopes of quelling his frustration.
It worked the slightest bit because Yang Feng's patience for her arose. "That's not what she just said a few minutes ago."
"Oh." Yang Ruqin tilted her head and thought about why her Feifei would say something like that.
"Did you make the relationship very clear with her? Like, did you ask her out and everything? Believe it or not, our Feifei is very old-tradition when it comes to love. She used to read a lot of romance novels in high school."
"Every woman wants to be treated like a Princess, Feng-ge. Though Feifei always shows her strong side to you, the one that always argues back and dares to match your temper, at heart, she wants to be treated properly."
"The pile of poo, known as Zheng Tianyi, never treated her like a woman. He didn't bother sparing her any affection, nor did he acknowledges their relationship, or announced it at school! There were tons of guys that asked her out in high school, but she never liked them back."
Yang Ruqin remembered asking Zhao Lifei why she rejected all of the advances placed on her when Zheng Tianyi never bothered with her. An adolescent, but wise Zhao Lifei responded it was because hearing those words from a stranger was like hearing them chat about the weather — insincere and bland.
"She's waiting for the day that someone who shares the same feelings as her will finally ask her out." Yang Ruqin concluded her long rant. Her brother's silence scared her. Did she say something wrong? Was it not good enough for him? She began to fret over her words.
A minute passed by, then two, until five came along. "Uh, Feng-ge, are you still there?"
"Lifei is not yours. Don't refer her as 'ours.' She's mine and only mine." Yang Feng finally said after a heavy and long silence.
His shameless words infuriated Yang Ruqin who was not used to sharing her beloved best friend.
He's so greedy! She cursed in her head. She believed her brother should be grateful she even said 'ours' instead of 'my' Feifei!
"You're released." Yang Feng hung up the phone, tossed it back to Chen Gaonan and stood up to his full height, a determined look on his face.
She wanted to be wooed the old-fashioned way? She should've said so sooner! He was bad at sappy-romances, but for her, he was willing to try and change his ways. By the time the sun had set in the sky and arise the next day, his plan was put into motion.
