"What kind of bad news?" Lu Yi Feng asked. He didn"t dare to push too hard and made this little turtle hide inside her sh.e.l.l once more."It seems like my past is haunting me once again," Feng Xiao Qing said meekly. Her eyes started to redden once more and she laughed mirthlessly.
Her past? His jealousy started to spark up once again. His mind trailed off to one person that he hated the most. Lu Yi Feng wanted to ask whether it was that d.a.m.n Lu Ming Cheng or not, but he couldn"t. She would know that he had found out that the woman who sat beside him was Feng Xiao Qing. His effort to make her open up would be wasted, so he could only be patient and abide his time. He didn"t talk, merely listening to her patiently.
Feng Xiao Qing glanced at him and when she saw that Lu Yi Feng only quietly looked at the moon, she sighed in relief. It seemed like he really wanted to become her listener. She was afraid that he would feel annoyed but his tranquil expression made her think otherwise...
"Have you ever had a past that you really want to forget?" Feng Xiao Qing asked curiously. She had a hunch that they were the same type of people --- both were affected by their past and weren"t able to forget it. Maybe... he would open up a little bit to a mere stranger?
"I have..." Lu Yi Feng answered softly. However, he didn"t say anything more. He wanted to listen to her problem, not the other way around.
Feng Xiao Qing sighed and she finally knew that there was something in his past that made him try to protect himself by becoming a cold person. At least, he had started to warm up to her and Xiao Xi Xi.
"I also have one..." Feng Xiao Qing said hesitantly. She talked in a roundabout way because she didn"t know whether she should tell him the truth or not. She still felt a bit hesitant, not only because it was an ugly past, but also because the other party was Lu Yi Feng... After all, he was still her boss.
"And...?" Lu Yi Feng asked, trying to encourage her.
Feng Xiao Qing asked, "Do you really want to listen to my problem? It might take a while though..."
Lu Yi Feng answered, "Sure... I have nothing to do. I have all night to listen to your problem. Or do you want to talk while eating ramen?"
Feng Xiao Qing slightly blushed. She knew why he suddenly offered to bring her to eat ramen. Her stomach just made a loud growl and she closed her eyes in embarra.s.sment. She berated her own stomach, "You stupid stomach! Why did you make such a loud sound at this quiet night?!" She was so ashamed and didn"t dare to look at Lu Yi Feng!
Feng Xiao Qing realized that she didn"t eat dinner because she was too nervous about Du Fu"s result of investigation... However, why did the hunger hit her at this moment ah~?! She had stayed at the edge of the river for a long time and her stomach didn"t growl for once.
She took a peek at Lu Yi Feng and she saw that his lips were slightly curling up. Did he mock her? She glared at him, but her stomach started to growl once again. She changed her gaze and glared at her own stomach... trying to cover up her embarra.s.sment.
If it was another woman, Lu Yi Feng probably thought that the woman was so d.a.m.n crazy. However, because it was Feng Xiao Qing, she looked so cute in his eyes. Men were that petty ah~! If it was the women that they liked, they would look so cute or perfect in their eyes no matter what the women did.
Her glare looked a bit like flirting to him...
Lu Yi Feng asked, "Should we eat now? I really pity your stomach..."
Feng Xiao Qing glared at him once more... However, she couldn"t refuse his offer. Talking over ramen and a gla.s.s of beer was a good idea. She finally nodded and shamelessly said, "Sure! But... it"s on you, Mister! I"m broke!" She didn"t bother to pretend... after all, she hadn"t received her first salary yet.
Feng Xiao Qing didn"t know... as a trainee, she only had a basic minimum salary and sometimes, she still needed to pay for something that the company arranged --- for example, when the company needed the trainee to have a plastic surgery. However, Feng Xiao Qing was exempted from all of that. Lu Yi Feng had given her the best contract, after all, at that time... he was quite desperate.
Lu Yi Feng nodded, but he still teased her to lighten up the mood. "Sure! You can pay me back later."
Feng Xiao Qing gaped at him. Thia stingy man! He had a lot of money and he still demanded her to pay him back. Not only that, he was the one who wanted to eat ramen first.
"Argh!" She yelled inwardly. Her sadness changed into frustration.
