The woman's face flushed with a mix of shame and anger. Bending her knees, she suddenly delivered a vicious upward kick.
Lin Feng reacted swiftly, reaching out to catch her ankle. Her small, fair foot was adorned with pink nail polish, looking playful and cute.
"Not a pervert! That's murder!"
Lin Feng's eyes widened as he instinctively protected his most precious asset.
Zhao Qingling's face turned livid, fire practically shooting from her eyes. Hearing Lin Feng's words, she snapped, "Who's a pervert? Who's trying to murder you? What are you doing in my house? I should be calling you a thief and a burglar!"
Lin Feng frowned and said, "I should be asking you that! How did you even get in here? This house belongs to me now. Aren't you trespassing?"
Zhao Qingling had never seen such a shameless person. He breaks into her house and then tries to act like the owner. It made her tremble with rage.
"You're lying!"
"My grandfather bought this house to be my dowry and bridal chamber. How could there be a man here? And how could it possibly be yours?"
Zhao Qingling stared at Lin Feng with a murderous glare, gritting her teeth.
"Your grandfather? Who is he?" Lin Feng asked, frowning.
"You don't even know who my grandfather is?"
Zhao Qingling was stunned for a moment before realizing the truth. This petty thief must have noticed that this luxury villa was usually empty, so he sneaked over the wall and moved in. He just never expected her to make a sudden return today and catch him red-handed.
With that thought, Zhao Qingling lifted her proud chin. "Hearing this will scare you shitless! My grandfather is the head of the Nancheng Zhao Family, and my father is the richest man, Zhao Tianlong! I am the eldest miss of the Zhao Family. Knowing who I am, are your legs turning to jelly from fear?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Zhao Qingling's expression turned icy again. "Not that being scared helps you now. You bold thief, daring to steal from me—I'll make sure you learn a lesson you'll never forget!"
Lin Feng understood immediately and said calmly, "Then there's no mistake. Your grandfather and your father gave this villa to me, so this villa is mine now!"
"Impossible!"
Zhao Qingling shrieked, "If you're going to make up lies, at least come up with a better one! My grandfather personally promised this house as my dowry. How could he give it to someone else?"
"Unless..."
Zhao Qingling looked Lin Feng up and down with suspicious eyes. "Are you my dad's illegitimate son?"
"Pfft!"
Lin Feng almost spat out a mouthful of water. "Young lady, you have a very active imagination, but that's going too far!"
"As for the truth, why don't you just make a call to your father and find out?"
Zhao Qingling had a sudden epiphany. She had been so furious with the man in front of her that she hadn't even thought of such a simple method.
"Well, are you going to let go of my foot or not? How long are you planning to grope me?"
Zhao Qingling said through gritted teeth.
It had just dawned on her that her foot was still being held by this man.
No man had ever touched such a private part of her before. The strange sensation at her ankle made Zhao Qingling's pretty face flush red. She looked like a fully boiled prawn, a faint pink tint spreading across her fair skin.
"Oh! My bad!"
Lin Feng casually let go of her hand, then disdainfully wiped it on the blanket.
Zhao Qingling saw this and ground her teeth. This guy was actually acting disgusted by her!
"Are you disgusted by me? My feet aren't dirty!"
Lin Feng inched slightly to the side. "If I'm not mistaken, you didn't wash your feet when you got back, and you didn't even take a shower."
As soon as those words fell, Zhao Qingling lowered her head in shame.
She wasn't usually like this, but she had gotten home too late today and wanted to be lazy for once, never expecting to get caught red-handed.
And by a man, no less!
"None of your business!"
"My feet don't stink!"As if to verify her own words, Zhao Qingling sat ungracefully on the bed, hugged one of her feet with both hands, and desperately tried to pull it up to the tip of her nose.
She gave it a sniff.
It really didn't smell! There wasn't even the slightest hint of sourness.
Only then did Zhao Qingling put her foot down with a look of satisfaction.
She raised her head and happened to lock eyes with Lin Feng.
Lin Feng's eyes widened. He hadn't expected this girl to be so thick-headed.
Didn't she realize she wasn't wearing any clothes?
Even though the room lights were off and the visibility was somewhat dim, Lin Feng could still see everything clearly.
The curves of her graceful figure flowed as naturally as water, and her slender waist formed a perfect proportion with her full hips.
"Pfft!"
Two streams of bloody nose suddenly spurted out.
Zhao Qingling also snapped back to reality at that moment and hurriedly pulled the quilt over to cover herself.
As a result, she pulled too hard and snatched the quilt away from Lin Feng as well, exposing his eight-pack abs and marble-sculpted physique to her view.
"Ahhh!!!"
Zhao Qingling screamed and covered her eyes.
Yet through the gaps between her fingers, a pair of dark, rolling eyes seemed to be staring fixedly in stealthy observation.
"Y-Y-Y-You... why don't you wear clothes when you sleep?"
Pinching his nose, Lin Feng replied, "I'm sleeping in my own house, shouldn't I dress however is most comfortable?"
"I saw yours just now, and now you've seen mine. We're even!"
You call this being even?
Zhao Qingling was going crazy inside, wishing she could pounce on Lin Feng right now and choke him to death. But she wasn't wearing a single stitch of clothing; wouldn't pouncing on him like this be walking right into the trap?
"Could it be that my internal heat has been too strong from martial arts training lately, causing me to have a nosebleed?"
Lin Feng pulled a tissue from the bedside table and wiped it away, and the nosebleed promptly stopped.
Only then did Zhao Qingling's voice come through: "Y-Y-Y-You... turn around, I need to get dressed!"
"Fine!"
Lin Feng agreed and decisively turned around.
Then, the rustling sound of getting dressed came from behind him.
The moment she finished dressing, Zhao Qingling pulled out her phone and called her father.
Beep, beep, beep...
The call connected.
"Dad! Hurry and bring some people over. A strange man broke into my villa at Yulongwan, and he keeps insisting this is his house. Hurry up and bring someone to chase him out!" Zhao Qingling said anxiously into the phone.
Hearing that a man had broken into his precious daughter's house, Zhao Tianlong flew into a rage and was ready to lead men over to hack that bastard into pieces.
Yet upon hearing Zhao Qingling mention that the man claimed the villa was his, Zhao Tianlong immediately realized it was Lin Feng.
Thus, Zhao Tianlong slowly sat back down in his chair: "Daughter, I know who you're talking about. What he said is correct; that villa does indeed belong to him now."
Hearing this, Zhao Qingling froze: "Dad, Grandfather promised this to me as my dowry!"
"Yes, that's right! It was a gift from your grandfather!"
Zhao Tianlong said unhurriedly: "And Lin Feng is your fiancé. Your grandfather arranged this engagement for the two of you long ago."
This news hit Zhao Qingling like a heavy hammer, making her head spin.
Gritting her teeth, Zhao Qingling said, "Even so, you should have notified me before letting him move in! Do you have any idea that your daughter's entire body was seen by him? How are you going to resolve this?"
"Besides, if you gave the villa away, where am I supposed to live?"
Instead of getting angry, Zhao Tianlong's voice carried a faint trace of joy.
"Well, daughter! Don't young people nowadays have a term called co-renting?"
"Why don't you just co-rent with Lin Feng?"
"I've got things to handle here, so I'm hanging up! Bye-bye!"
