My Nightclub Landlady

"Girlfriend?"

Qin Feng smiled, "Well, very beautiful, especially beautiful. Like a fairy."

"Haha, I knew it. You"re just messing with me."

Zhu Fei laughed, but behind her smile there was a strange feeling of loss.

She was wearing a blue and white dress which revealed her long, white legs when she sat down. She swung her legs back and forth and tried to relax, but found it hard to control her racing thoughts.

"Well, enough about that."

Qin Feng crossed his legs and folded his arms. "What about you? What"s your plan? The old man has finally recognized you, so all you have left to do now is make up for all the lost time. I know nothing can replace a connection to your biological father and I believe that you both have a special spot reserved for each other in your hearts. Blood is thicker than water, after all. I envy you the courage and determination to return to Tianhe. I"m sure you will succeed.

"Hey hey, I very much look forward to it as well. The old guy has finally changed his mind! Speaking of which, I still have to thank Jia Dapeng. If not for the fight with him, my father would still be stubbornly sweeping the streets."

Zhu Fei straightened her face and swore, "Jia Dapeng won"t die well. Sooner or later, he will be punished."

She looked at Qin Feng and her mouth opened a few times like she had something more to say, but no sound came out.

Qin Feng chuckled at her outburst, "What was that? Do you have something else to say? You can say it. I"m your boyfriend, right? We live together."

"Oh, h.e.l.l no!"

Zhu Fei bashfully pinched Qin Feng"s arm and said, "I will move out tomorrow to live with my father. He will beg you to come with us, but you have to refuse him. He"s a very stubborn man, but I"ll just have to find a way to get his mind off it."

Qin Feng"s strong eyes looked to the forest in front, where the fragrance of the wanton peach blossoms hung in the air. "I think... Once he"s fully recovered, let"s confess. We can"t pretend forever. This all my fault; I just wanted to ease his pain when he was hurting by pretending to be your boyfriend. Now that he is well and the knot in his heart holding you two apart is gone, it is time for me to get out of your way. Regardless, as for Zhou Liang and Jia Dapeng, I will be there to help you if you need me. As long as I"m here, people you don"t like won"t get close to you."

This was what he was like. He would never do anything with a brave beginning and a weak ending, let alone give up half-way. He would help people to the end. Although he did not like to get involved with this kind of nastiness, he just couldn"t ignore it. Moreover, Jia Dapeng and Jia Quan were father and son. He had just asked the commanding officer of his Special Forces unit to coordinate with the leadership of the provincial public security system to suppress Jia Quan and adopt a laissez-faire att.i.tude toward Zhao Jun. This was the plan that Qin Feng had worked out in order for Sister Flower to be able to survive and prosper in Tianhe for a long time to come. This plan was already basically on track, but now that Jia Dapeng was mixed up in it, considering Jia Quan had only the one precious son...

Zhu Fei was particularly moved by Qin Feng"s words. She thought about the nature of the man she always imagined falling in love with one day. He would have a sense of responsibility, love, patience, dignity, thoughtfulness… Qin Feng wasn"t like that, right? He was really a man close to perfection. When she first met him, he looked like he was just hanging around and learning nothing, but when it came to dealing with difficulties, he never wavered, never flinched. Most other men who faced strong opponents such as Jia Dapeng and Zhou Liang would have long been frightened away, but Qing Feng was…

However, when she heard that he wanted to confess to being her "fake" boyfriend, her heart became heavy. She clearly knew that what was fake was fake; it could not be true, and it would run its course sooner or later. But for the moment, it was difficult for her to accept it. He was like a pet that she"d already grown attached to. Although she knew from the start that she was only fostering a stray and she"d have to let him go eventually, who could remain unfazed when the time really came to separate?

Zhu Fei plucked up her courage and asked with a straight face: "Are you in such a hurry to go?"

Qin Feng was a bit confused. "What? Do you enjoy me taking advantage of you? I"m a fake, haha! I"ll help you achieve what you want, but that"s it. Me occupying this s.p.a.ce would only influence others to pursue you, and in time, will hurt your reputation. I am an insignificant loser in a nightclub and you are a proud little princess. How can we be together?"

"Well... I just think it"s going to be hard for dad to accept it. After all, he"s got high blood pressure and he"s so fond of you… If you suddenly leave with no warning he may find it hard to calm down..."

Zhu Fei bowed her head, feeling her cheeks hot. She never really cared about boys. Too many people had pursued her. If not 100, at least 80. Her habitual thinking was to run away or ignore them, but this time she practically took him by the hand and led him home. What is this?

Was she really afraid her dad wouldn"t accept it?

Qin Feng thought and said, "I think it"s much better to just rip off the Band-Aid all at once. I would have to leave sooner or later, anyway. Well… since the old man likes it, I"ll spend some more time with him. Also, I would advise you to think about Zhou Liang. He might seem a little shallow, but at least there is no doubt about his feelings for you; otherwise, he wouldn"t have gone to such great lengths to find you."

"Oh," Zhu Fei responded feebly. She put her toes on the ground, deep in thought.

"I have to go. I"ll pick you up when you leave the hospital tomorrow. Pack your things. By the way, has the house been rented? When will you move your stuff to the new place?" Qin Feng asked.

"There"s no rush. I will set my father up first. I"m not in a hurry."

"Call me when you"re ready to move your things. I"m pretty strong, if nothing else," Qin Feng said, raising his arm and flexing his biceps. "Look at this thing. Looks pretty strong, huh?"

"Showoff," Zhu Fei muttered. "Are you actually a bouncer? I remember the waiters were all skinny little boys with their hair dyed blond."

"Hha, I do odd jobs."

Qin Feng patted the dust off his trousers and got up to leave.

"Tomorrow I would like to go shopping for some furniture and building materials," Zhu Fei suddenly said. "I really don"t know anything about that kind of stuff and I am afraid of being cheated. Can you come with me?"

"Hmm, no problem."

Qin Feng made a "call me" gesture and left.
