Qin Feng sat down beside Li Chunfei, gazed into her pretty eyes, and said with a smile, "To make it up to you, I can use immortal magic to grant you one wish."
"Immortal magic?"
Li Chunfei couldn't help recalling how Qin Feng had used magic to cheer her up the previous night, and she felt a stirring of anticipation. "If you can produce a blue enchanting right now, I won't be mad anymore."
Her favorite flower in the world was the blue enchanting.
Qin Feng shook his head gently, and a wave of disappointment instantly washed over Li Chunfei.
To her surprise, Qin Feng went on to say, "Just one flower is far too perfunctory. I am going to gift you an entire sea of blue enchantings!"
Then, he let out a snap!
Whoosh!
Right above them, from the ceiling of the shopping mall, a dense, fluttering shower of blue enchantings suddenly cascaded down, instantly dyeing the midair into a breathtakingly gorgeous sky-blue sea of flowers!
It was even accompanied by a warm and romantic melody playing in the background!
"Whoa!"
Everyone inside the mall couldn't help letting out shrieks of joyful surprise, their eyes filled with shock and delight!
Yet the most surprised and thrilled person of all was naturally Li Chunfei!
She raised her head to admire the dazzling array of flowers, a look of profound disbelief etched across her face!
It was too astonishing, too dreamlike!
She even had the illusion that she was stepping inside a dream!
"How—how on earth did you conjure up all these flowers?"
Her spirits soared, her breathing grew rapid, and her high, full breasts heaved rhythmically with it, looking utterly captivating!
Watching the wonderful sight before him, Qin Feng let out a hearty laugh. "I told you it was immortal magic, just summoned with a wave of my hand."
"Impossible!"
Naturally skeptical, Li Chunfei suddenly added, "I get it now. So the reason you kept stalling and didn't show up was to prepare this gift all along, right?"
*What?*
Qin Feng hadn't expected Li Chunfei to jump to that conclusion.
Do women really let their imaginations run completely wild when their brains are hijacked by surprise?
Qin Feng chuckled inwardly, then went along with it. "Sister-in-law is truly brilliant; you guessed it in one go."
Upon receiving Qin Feng's affirmative reply, Li Chunfei's entire body trembled!
And then she actually burst into tears!
Qin Feng was startled, and quickly asked in a soft voice, "Sister-in-law, why are you suddenly crying?"
Li Chunfei shook her head gently, her eyes glistening with crystal-clear tears, and said, "I don't even understand why myself. Maybe it's because this is the first time I've ever received such a wondrous surprise..."
This seemingly simple remark laid bare her unhappy marriage. Be it the lack of physical intimacy in the bedroom or the utter absence of communication between them, it had pushed her heartache to the absolute limit.
Qin Feng sighed and handed Li Chunfei a tissue.
"Thank you."
Li Chunfei took the tissue and looked at Qin Feng through her shimmering tears. "I meant, thank you for the surprise gift."
"I understand."
Qin Feng smiled faintly. "But this gift wasn't cheap at all. Thank goodness I was spending the old man's money."
*Pfft!*
Li Chunfei was amused, laughing through her tears. "You really are a dutiful son. By the way, how did you guess that my favorite flower is the blue enchanting?"
She gazed at Qin Feng with deep affection in her eyes.
Qin Feng's heart couldn't help fluttering a beat.
For at this very moment, Li Chunfei was simply too gorgeous.
Especially those tender, soulful eyes of hers, which seemed to possess a magic capable of captivating all under heaven.
Qin Feng opened Li Chunfei's WeChat profile and said, "Your WeChat avatar and even your Moments background picture are plastered with blue enchantings. You might as well have tattooed 'The blue enchanting is my favorite' across your forehead."
Understanding dawned on Li Chunfei. Although she felt a bit embarrassed, her heart felt warm and sweet all over.
Could you believe it, everyone? He really knows everything!
Yet she quickly latched onto the crux of the matter. "Since you saw my WeChat profile ages ago, why didn't you add me as a friend proactively? Instead, you made me wait to add you, and even made me submit five requests before finally accepting!"
Qin Feng flashed a mischievous smile. "Wasn't that to prepare this surprise gift for you? Tell me honestly, do you like it or not?"
"You..."
Li Chunfei was left speechless for a moment, then nodded with a flushed face, her eyes flashing with a charming radiance.
In a certain corner of the upper floors far away.
A man was holding a pair of binoculars, silently tracking Li Chunfei's reaction.
"Qin Feng, you bastard, how dare you make a move on my woman?"
"Li Chunfei, have you fallen for Qin Feng?"
A dense wave of anger and hatred burned fiercely in the man's eyes!
Who else could it be if not Qin Yinglong!
Qin Yinglong had tailed Li Chunfei ever since she left the house.
He had already noticed Li Chunfei's abnormal behavior during their conversation in the car that morning.However, Qin Yinglong had not expected that Li Chunfei seemed to have fallen for Qin Feng long ago.
Though the two had been married for two years, Li Chunfei had never once shown him a genuine smile.
Yet at this moment, she was looking at Qin Feng with boundless tenderness!
These two starkly contrasting attitudes filled Qin Yinglong's heart with intense jealousy!
He was just about to continue spying when the binoculars suddenly emitted a sharp crack, followed by a spreading fracture across the lens!
"Damn it!"
Furious, Qin Yinglong hurled the binoculars away. He wanted to chase after them and continue following the pair, but doing so ran the risk of being discovered at any moment—the losses would outweigh any gains.
"Li Chunfei, I truly hope you're just putting on an act."
"Otherwise, I will make sure you fall utterly to ruin, left with nothing in the end!"
Qin Yinglong ground his teeth until they clicked, his hatred for Qin Feng growing even more profound.
Back then you were nothing more than a dissolute good-for-nothing, and after three years apart, you still want to play Ximen Qing now, do you!
...
Inside the café.
"Will you tell me why you decided to prepare such a surprise?"
Resting her delicate chin in the palm of her hand, Li Chunfei blinked her bright eyes at Qin Feng, her red lips pursed in an utterly captivating manner.
Looking at the breathtaking beauty before him, Qin Feng was in high spirits. "Sister-in-law looks gorgeous when she smiles, so I wanted to see your smile."
A ripple went through Li Chunfei's heart, and she quickly asked, "Is that the only reason?"
Qin Feng couldn't help laughing. "When interacting with people sincerely, isn't it better to keep things pure?"
Li Chunfei drew a sharp breath.
Once again, he had spoken with such simple yet profound philosophy.
Qin Feng continued, "Of course, Sister-in-law's smile isn't the only thing that's captivating. Your entire being is full of charm, not to mention your intoxicating fragrance—it's completely swept me off my feet."
As he spoke, his gaze deliberately drifted from Li Chunfei's exquisite face down to her proud, tender, snowy breasts, and finally settled on her sexy, alluring legs clad in black silk.
His eyes were full of appreciation and burning heat.
Deep inside, Li Chunfei felt both shy and immensely pleased.
She had gone to great lengths to meticulously dress up for Qin Feng today.
And Qin Feng truly appreciated how she looked.
This made Li Chunfei secretly thrilled.
Curving her lips, she said, "You prepared a huge surprise for me, so today Sister-in-law is going to pick out a few outfits for you. Not everyone gets the chance to receive a gift from me, you know."
With that, she slipped off her barstool, stood up, and looped her arm through Qin Feng's.
Qin Feng instantly felt the visual impact of Li Chunfei's exaggerated curves.
Glancing downward, the expanse of alluring, snowy white at her chest was clearly visible and breathtakingly attractive.
How wonderful!
How could Qin Feng possibly resist the temptation of such beauty? So, with a cheerful smile, he went along with Li Chunfei to select some clothes.
...
Inside a high-end clothing boutique.
The two of them stood close, whispering to each other just like a couple deeply in love.
Li Chunfei thoroughly relished this interaction.
She even felt as though she had suddenly grown younger and more vibrant.
"Li Chunfei?"
At that moment, a woman's surprised voice rang out from behind them.
"Han Xuefen?"
Recognizing her good friend's voice instantly, Li Chunfei panicked inwardly. She quickly let go of Qin Feng's arm before turning her head.
Qin Feng also looked toward the sound.
He saw a glamorous young matron walking over with a smile. She wore a deep V-neck beige floral maxi dress and flesh-toned silk stockings, her every movement exuding an air of nobility!
She already possessed an extraordinary aura, and as she smiled, shallow dimples appeared beside her lips. Her bright, lively eyes clearly belonged to a vibrant woman—a complete contrast to the aloof Li Chunfei.
This young matron was simply stunning!
Qin Feng couldn't help praising her repeatedly in his heart.
Han Xuefen was the wife of the chairman of Jinyu Group, and she also served as the group's public relations manager.
Having just turned thirty-one this year, she was a year older than Li Chunfei.
Standing at one meter sixty-eight, she was slightly shorter than the one-meter-seventy Li Chunfei.
However, Han Xuefen's skin was fair and translucent, her bright eyes were exceptionally sharp, and her lively personality made her look like a girl in her early twenties, appearing even younger than Li Chunfei!
Han Xuefen immediately noticed Qin Feng. Curling her sexy red lips, she said, "Well, well, Li Chunfei, when did you hook up with such a handsome young man? You really know how to keep a low profile—even hiding it from me, huh?"
As she spoke, she cast an alluring glance at Qin Feng, intentionally or not, radiating pure charm!
Chapter 16: Beautiful Best Friend
Qin Feng was inwardly startled, thinking to himself that this young matron was truly flirtatious and bold.
Still... I like it!Li Chunfei looked visibly embarrassed and forced a smile. "This is Qin Feng. He and Qin Yinglong are cousins, so we are aunt and nephew-in-law."
"Qin Feng, this is my good friend Han Xuefen, and we were also college classmates."
Qin Feng nodded politely and smiled at Han Xuefen like a gentleman.
Han Xuefen nodded in return, then pulled Li Chunfei aside and lowered her voice. "You and your nephew-in-law are out shopping together—does Qin Yinglong even know about this?"
Li Chunfei made no attempt to hide anything. "How could he not know? There's an important signing ceremony for the Qin Group tonight, and Qin Yinglong actually suggested that I accompany Qin Feng out to pick out some clothes."
Han Xuefen couldn't help a look of disappointment. "I thought you'd finally come to your senses. You've been lonely for all these years, and I figured you were finally going out to find a handsome young guy to satisfy your own needs."
As close confidantes, the two beauties always spoke their minds freely with each other.
Li Chunfei had previously mentioned to Han Xuefen that Qin Yinglong's promiscuous lifestyle in the past had left him completely incapable now.
Naturally, as a good friend, Han Xuefen felt she was getting the short end of the stick and often advised her that this was a modern, civilized society where women should actively pursue their own happiness and pleasure.
Yet Li Chunfei had never been able to cross her own psychological bottom line.
"A gorgeous woman like you has no shortage of talented young men pining after you! If I were you, I would've hooked up with some handsome guy ages ago. Why ruin your own happiness just for that useless piece of trash Qin Yinglong?"
Han Xuefen lowered her voice and poured out a stream of advice, filled with indignation at her friend's lack of resolve.
Li Chunfei smiled helplessly. "My dear Han, I'm not as open-minded as you."
Han Xuefen suddenly flashed a cheeky grin. "Look at Qin Feng—not only is he young and dashing, but he's got such a tall, well-built frame. They say charity begins at home; why don't you two hook up privately and let him give you a taste of a handsome young man?"
Li Chunfei instantly flushed crimson. "What nonsense are you talking about? It'll be a disaster if Qin Feng hears you."
In truth, Qin Feng's hearing was astonishing, and the two women's whispered conversation had already reached his ears.
Though these beautiful young matrons all put on a cold and proud front on the surface, the boldness of their private conversations went far beyond anything one could imagine.
Some of them even knew how to play the game exceptionally well!
For now, Qin Feng had no choice but to pretend he hadn't heard a thing.
Han Xuefen gave a sneaky little chuckle and said, "Li Chunfei, as someone with experience, I strongly suggest you give it a try. Once you break through that mental barrier, you'll discover a whole different kind of happiness."
Hearing this, Li Chunfei bit her lip, her gaze drifting inadvertently toward Qin Feng.
Ever since their brief interaction last night, her mind had been filled with his shadow.
Perhaps this was the sweet magic of a new connection, or perhaps she had simply suppressed her desires for too long, desperately yearning for someone's affection and companionship.
Whatever the reason, Li Chunfei's heart couldn't help but stir.
Especially with those cascading blue roses and Qin Feng's tenderness just moments ago, she found him simply irresistible.
Yet her coldness and pride were merely external armor; deep down, she possessed a traditional heart trapped by conventional judgment.
She didn't dare shatter the shackles of morality to chase the life she desired.
"Alright, stop talking about it."
Feeling her mind turn to mush, Li Chunfei hurried to pick out a few clothes for Qin Feng to try on.
Only when Qin Feng moved out of her line of sight did her restless, hammering heart calm down just a fraction.
Yet a few minutes later, when she saw Qin Feng stride out wearing a brand-new black suit, that newly calmed heart instantly went wild again!
Because Qin Feng looked ridiculously handsome!
Even though it was just an off-the-rack suit, on him it looked like a custom-tailored designer piece, accentuating his tall, sleek frame to absolute perfection!
The sharp, crisp collar framed his handsome facial features, making him look all the more extraordinary!
Whether it was his relaxed, effortless posture or his confident gaze and smile, he radiated an irresistible charm and intense masculine pheromones.
This was the body of a top international model!
Even the one-in-a-million male models from ultra-luxury brands would pale in comparison to Qin Feng!
"This..."
Even Han Xuefen couldn't help standing up!
The beautiful sales assistants in the shop couldn't stop gasping either!
The man standing before them... was drop-dead gorgeous!
"I never imagined Qin Feng could look this shockingly handsome in a suit..."
Han Xuefen stared at Qin Feng, her bright eyes flashing with a brilliant light as she instinctively bit her sexy lips.
She had seen plenty of handsome men, but this was the first time she had ever laid eyes on someone this striking.
In particular, the untamable heroic aura on Qin Feng's face was completely unmatched.
All the women in the room found their breath catching in their throats.
The air grew thick with a suffocating wave of feminine hormones!
"Sister-in-law, this outfit isn't bad, is it?" Qin Feng asked with a smile.
Li Chunfei's eyes darted away evasively. "It's good, really good."
Qin Feng nodded, a different set of thoughts swirling in his mind.
Back when they were eating breakfast, he had already noticed that Li Chunfei's proactive friendliness must have had an ulterior motive.
Perhaps it was Qin Yinglong's idea, or perhaps Li Chunfei was harboring her own secret agenda.
Either way, Qin Feng decided to just go with the flow and follow her lead from start to finish.
The truly skilled hunter often disguised himself as the prey.
Naturally, Qin Feng wasn't stupid.
Right now, however, he could genuinely feel the subtle shift in Li Chunfei's inner world.
That calculated, goal-oriented mindset was gone, replaced by a true outpouring of genuine emotion toward him.
Even an undeniable, unmasked adoration and affection.
Qin Feng didn't consider himself a pristine gentleman; if Qin Yinglong had arranged for Li Chunfei to seduce him, he would make sure his enemy ended up empty-handed.
Since you've decided to play dirty with me, don't blame me for being ruthless.
Step one: fitting a green hat onto your head.
Of course, if Li Chunfei treated him sincerely, he would naturally return that sincerity in kind!
Life really wasn't all that complicated!
Han Xuefen quickly pulled Li Chunfei aside and whispered, "I'll ask you seriously one more time—do you really have no other feelings for Qin Feng?"
Li Chunfei desperately wanted to confess the truth, but held back by her cold and conservative nature, she shook her head and replied, "I only have a normal appreciation for him, nothing else."
"Really?"
"Really!"
Receiving Li Chunfei's affirmative answer, Han Xuefen's eyes lit up with delight and coquettish charm as she bit her red lip. "In that case, this big sister won't need to hold back."
Thump!
Li Chunfei's heart skipped a beat, a flash of unease crossing her eyes.
In terms of looks and overall aura, Han Xuefen was not a single bit inferior to Li Chunfei.
On top of that, Han Xuefen had a lively and cheerful personality, and her expressive eyes were practically weapons, making her an absolute master at flirting with men.
"Qin Feng, your collar isn't sitting right."
With those words, Han Xuefen eagerly strode toward Qin Feng on her long legs, reaching out with jade-white fingers to gently adjust his clothes.
Qin Feng could clearly catch the faint, intoxicating fragrance radiating from Han Xuefen's delicate wrists!
Glancing downward, he caught sight of the full, voluptuous curves pressed against the neckline of her dress.
This young matron was far too tempting.
Qin Feng sighed inwardly in amazement.
At the same time, Han Xuefen could feel the powerful, sun-kissed masculine aura radiating from Qin Feng!
It was as if a breath of fresh immortal air had drifted straight into her nostrils, making her feel incomparably invigorated from head to toe!
She wanted to scream out loud in excitement!
Oh my god, how can Qin Feng's scent be this clean and refreshing?!
Looking at him now, her gaze turned as tender as water!
"Thank you."
Qin Feng flashed her a polite, returning smile.
"You're welcome."
Han Xuefen stared deep into Qin Feng's eyes with a charming, seductive smile, her slender fingers lightly tapping against his well-defined chest muscles as she made no attempt to hide her favoritism.
"..."
Seeing this scene, Li Chunfei felt a sharp pang of jealousy twist in her chest!
It turned out Han Xuefen wasn't joking at all!
She really intended to use every trick in the book to win Qin Feng over!
"Qin Feng, can you add me on WeChat? We can chat tonight and have a deeper exchange."
Han Xuefen's eyes sparkled as she breathed her sweet fragrance right in front of Qin Feng, utterly alluring!
Chapter 17: I Have a Problem
Han Xuefen was actually making her move!
With the coquettish charm she had just displayed while breathing near Qin Feng, who in the world could possibly resist?
Li Chunfei felt even more anxious and unsettled!
If Qin Feng and Han Xuefen added each other on WeChat now, they'd end up chatting all night, followed by a face-to-face date, baring their souls to each other, and having a "deep exchange"...
Given Han Xuefen's passion and beauty, could Qin Feng possibly resist that temptation?
Li Chunfei's palms broke out in a sweat; she didn't even dare to imagine any further!
Her captivating eyes filled with lingering resentment and dim despair.
Yet Qin Feng simply shook his head and replied, "There's no need for the two of us to add each other on WeChat. If you need anything, you can reach out to me through my sister-in-law."
