Zhao Anqi's face flushed, and she proudly turned her head away, as if she couldn't even bear to look at Qin Feng!
Seeing her coy and prickly expression, Qin Feng felt an itch in his heart!
Goodness gracious, with a wife like this, who would ever need a bicycle?
But on second thought, this pampered young lady wasn't easy to handle either!
Qin Feng shook his head inwardly: Although she could be rated S-class, her personality was still far too inferior to his little Mei!
After scolding her daughter, Shen Xinrou turned to Qin Feng and said, "Xiaofeng, Anqi is just a bit childish, don't mind her!"
"I just came to check on the old man's condition and see if you need anything."
"Don't worry, Auntie, the old man will wake up soon, it's nothing!"
Hearing this, Shen Xinrou's expression lit up with joy, and she nodded repeatedly, "Good, then your uncle and I will wait outside!"
With that, she closed the door and left.
Now, apart from Elder Zhao, the only people left in the room were Qin Feng and Zhao Anqi.
"Why were you lying just now?" Qin Feng asked, somewhat bewildered.
"Who was lying?"
"Clearly, you were the one who insisted on calling me a nurse just now!"
Zhao Anqi gave Qin Feng a tyrannical side-eye.
Come to think of it, Qin Feng supposed that was indeed what had happened!
He had no choice but to fake a few coughs to mask his awkwardness.
Then he looked her up and down carefully, shaking his head and proclaiming, "Well! Your figure and looks are both top-notch!"
"If you really were to become my woman, you'd certainly be qualified!"
"What a pity, though—this young master's heart is already taken!"
"How about this? If you don't mind, you can be my concubine!"
Qin Feng wore an expression that screamed, "I'm doing you a favor."
Hearing this, Zhao Anqi was so furious her nose was practically crooked!
"Huh? Be your concubine?"
"Go to hell!"
In her anger, she grabbed a throw pillow and hurled it right at Qin Feng!
Naturally, Qin Feng caught it with ease, laughing playfully, "You shrew, you're utterly unreasonable!"
"This lord letting you be a concubine is already doing you a massive favor!"
"To tell you the truth, you've got six other sisters lined up behind you!"
"Hmph, take it or leave it!"
Seeing Qin Feng's arrogant demeanor, Zhao Anqi was so angry her teeth itched!
"You poor ghost! You goblin!"
"I'm going to fight you to the death!"
Beside herself with rage, she lunged at Qin Feng!
She was utterly furious!
This was the first time a man had completely shattered her defenses!
She was, after all, the proud young lady of the Zhao Family and the campus belle of Tianhai University, yet she had been humiliated by some country bumpkin straight off the mountain!
A concubine?
In her dreams!
Seeing that she was genuinely angry, Qin Feng turned and fled in a panic!
Zhao Anqi gave chase relentlessly, and the two of them began circling the room...
Adhering to the principle that a gentleman doesn't fight with women, Qin Feng could only dodge left and right, trying his best to keep his distance from her!
Fortunately, the room was big enough; the two of them circled the hospital bed—she chased, he ran, and there was no escape for him...
After chasing him for quite a while, Zhao Anqi finally stopped, gasping for breath as she reached the limit of her stamina!
"Enough, enough! I'm begging you, stop chasing!"
"I was just joking with you, is all this really necessary?"
Qin Feng put his hands on his hips and took a few deep breaths.
He wasn't tired at all; he had just been playing around with this woman.
In contrast, Zhao Anqi was already utterly exhausted, panting heavily with sweat glistening all over her!
With a wail, she collapsed heavily to her knees, draped the upper half of her body over the edge of the bed, and gasped for breath...
From the look of her, her energy was completely depleted, and she was dead tired!
Lying prone across the bed and panting, her ample curves heaved and trembled constantly.
Seeing her like this, Qin Feng immediately mocked her.
"My, my, you're done for already?"
"Your husband here has been chased by you for ages, and I'm totally fine, still looking radiant! Yet you've already had enough and collapsed from exhaustion?"
"Tsk! Tell me, with stamina like this, am I wronging you by letting you be a concubine?"
"If you can't cut it, you might as well step aside and make room for the sisters coming after you!"
"You—" Hearing Qin Feng's mockery, Zhao Anqi felt as though her chest were about to explode from rage!
She never expected this man to still be mocking her at a time like this!
Utterly lacking in class and manners!
A man like this was completely off-limits!
"Call off the engagement! The engagement must be called off!"
She screamed at the top of her lungs.
"Hmph, call it off then! I came here today precisely to call off the engagement in the first place!"
Zhao Anqi wanting to actively call off the engagement played right into Qin Feng's hands!
"Fine, fine, fine!"
"In that case, get the hell out of here right now, this instant!"
"Don't you dare linger here!"
Qin Feng said dismissively, "Who wants to linger here?"
"I'm just waiting for the old man to wake up so I can ask him for the engagement document!"
"Once I get it, I'm out of here!"
Zhao Anqi was so furious she was losing her mind!
She hurried to ransack the room, cursing in blind rage, "Bastard! You want the engagement document, is that it? I'll give it to you, I'll give it to you right now!"
As she spoke, she turned practically every box in the room upside down!
She was even on the verge of prying open the safe!
"Enough, enough!"
"Anqi, stop making a scene!"
Just as Zhao Anqi was about to pry open the safe, an aged voice came from the hospital bed!
Both of them froze at almost the exact same time!
"Eh? Grandpa, you're awake!"
Zhao Anqi ran over in pleasant surprise and slowly helped the old man sit up...
Recovering his wits, Qin Feng also walked over briskly.
Once he confirmed the old man was all right, he withdrew all his silver needles.
Zhao Quanlin let out a weak sigh first, then gave a bitter smile, "If I hadn't woken up, I reckon this house of mine would have been completely demolished by you two!"
Zhao Anqi protested indignantly, "Grandpa, it was all this jerk..."
Before she could finish, Zhao Quanlin waved a hand to cut her off. "Shut your mouth! No more nonsense!"
"Qin Feng is your man, why do you keep calling him a jerk at every turn? It's simply improper!"
Zhao Anqi felt utterly aggrieved: "Grandpa! You didn't hear the way he was humiliating me just now!"
Zhao Quanlin said earnestly, "I heard it all!"
"And I think Xiaofeng was right!"
"For an ordinary girl like you to be able to marry Xiaofeng, even if it's as his concubine, is still your good fortune!"
"You, oh you... why are you never content!"
He looked at his granddaughter with a disappointed expression, looking like he wished iron could turn into steel.
Hearing this, Zhao Anqi was completely dumbfounded!
Her eyes widened in disbelief as she stared at her own grandfather, her mind entirely blank!
Was this still her own biological grandfather?
Let alone Zhao Anqi, even Qin Feng was dumbstruck!
He had just been making a casual joke!
Never in his wildest dreams did he expect the old man to actually take it seriously!
Could it be that he genuinely wanted his granddaughter to marry him as a concubine?
After a long pause, Qin Feng awkwardly changed the subject, "Old man, you shouldn't just go touching Hundred Snake Herb like that! You need to be more careful next time!"
Hearing this, Zhao Quanlin gave an embarrassed, sheepish chuckle. "An old man like me has lived this long, how could I not know my limits?"
"It's just that the company has been developing a new medicine recently without any progress, and I simply couldn't help myself, so I ran a small experiment with the Hundred Snake Herb, and well... sigh!"
He sighed and didn't elaborate further.
But Qin Feng already understood the cause and effect of the whole ordeal, and could only smile helplessly and shake his head...
"Forget it, let's get back to the two of you and your marriage!"
As soon as those words fell, Zhao Anqi leaped to her feet in a fury. "Hmph! I don't care! Anyway, I am simply not marrying him!"
"Besides, I'm still studying!"
"Then you can get married and study at the same time! The two don't conflict!"
"As long as you're of legal age!"
"Besides, this match was decided a long time ago! You can just say you won't marry and that settles it?!"
"Nonsense!"
Zhao Quanlin's tone left no room for argument!
