Chapter 109: The more beautiful the woman, the more deceptive she is_1
Before Tang Feng could make a move, his phone rang again.
This time, it was a WeChat voice call.
He felt immediately annoyed, thinking, Does this woman have a problem?
He picked up the phone, declined the video call directly, and was about to block her on WeChat as well.
That’s when he saw a message from Qin Yanan, “If you don’t reply to my message within three seconds, I’ll throw everything in your house out.”
Meanwhile, Jiang Zi had already panickedly fled into the bathroom.
He hit the sofa angrily a couple of times and then called back using the voice call.
The ring lasted for less than a second before it was answered.
“Tang Feng, where are you? It’s so late and you’re still not home? Do you think you’re above it all because you have a little money now? Let me tell you, if you’re not back within ten minutes, I will throw all your stuff out…”
As soon as the call connected, Qin Yanan rattled off a litany, giving Tang Feng a headache.
“Wait a moment, why are you not sleeping in the middle of the night and running to my place?” Tang Feng urgently interrupted her.
“Checking in on you. If I hadn’t gone to your house, I wouldn’t know that you weren’t home this late,” Qin Yanan said self-righteously.
“You’re not my girlfriend, why would you be checking in on me?” Tang Feng felt that this woman was being unreasonable. Since when did landlords start checking in?
“I… I have something very important to look for you about, hurry back,” Qin Yanan, seemingly acknowledging her fault, made up another excuse.
“What’s the matter? Can’t it wait until tomorrow? I’m really far from the apartment right now and can’t rush back.” Tang Feng glanced toward the direction of the bathroom, not willing to let go of the prize within his grasp.
“It’s a matter of life or death, I must tell you today. If you don’t come back quickly, you might never see me again.” Qin Yanan sounded very urgent, as if her life really hung in the balance.
Hearing her say it was so serious, Tang Feng immediately became anxious. Could it be that Wang Xiaodao was causing trouble?
“Alright, wait for me, I’ll be right back.”
After hanging up, he put on his coat and headed out.
At that moment, Jiang Zi also came out of the bathroom. “Are… you going back now?”
Tang Feng reluctantly glanced over her, “I have an emergency and must go back now. Let’s… continue tomorrow night.”
Jiang Zi’s pretty face flushed instantly, “Since you have an emergency, you should hurry.”
With that, she pushed him out as if ridding herself of a pest.
“Bang!”
As the door closed, she could still feel her heart pounding.
Just thinking about how he had roughly pushed her onto the sofa made her feel an indescribable sense of shame.
It seemed that her studies over the past few days had been effective.
She hurried back to the sofa, picked up the book “How to Capture a Man’s Heart,” and continued to study.
…
It was now half past one in the morning, and there were no cabs outside.
Fortunately, the apartment wasn’t too far away, so Tang Feng ran all the way back.
Even though he was fit, running nearly 3 kilometers still left him huffing and puffing.
Qin Yanan was waiting for him at his doorstep. Seeing him appear sweating profusely, she was somewhat surprised, “Did you run back?”
Seeing her safe and standing there, Tang Feng finally relaxed, “Of course, you made it sound so serious on the phone. I was afraid something bad happened to you.”
“Couldn’t you have taken a cab?” Qin Yanan took out a tissue to help him wipe the sweat while reproaching him.
“Sister, I wanted to take a cab, but look what time it is. Where could I find one at this hour?” Tang Feng opened the door, turned on the light, and walked in.
Qin Yanan followed him, “How about this, I’ll give you the keys to my Cayenne tomorrow, and you can drive it for the time being.”
Tang Feng slumped onto the sofa, poured himself a glass of cool boiled water, and took a few big gulps, “If you give me your car, what will you do?”
Qin Yanan sat next to him, “I have several cars. Besides, we’re on the same route to and from work. You can just be my free driver.”
Tang Feng put down the glass and turned to look at her, “Come on, what was so urgent that you had to call me back?”
Qin Yanan’s eyes darted away, her words evasive, “Actually, there’s nothing too urgent…”
“What?” Tang Feng was immediately anxious, “Didn’t you say it was a matter of life and death? Do you know what I sacrificed to get back here? And now you’re telling me there’s nothing urgent? I…”
“Why are you angry? I was just worried something might happen to you,” Qin Yanan, knowing she was in the wrong, softened her tone, “But there is actually one thing I need your help with.”
“What is it?” Tang Feng held back his anger, speaking irritably.
“Tomorrow, someone is coming to collect the old air conditioner. I definitely can’t handle it alone as a woman, and I’ll need your help…” Qin Yanan noticed that his expression was growing increasingly unfavorable, and her voice grew quieter.
“You called me back in the middle of the night for such a trivial thing?” Tang Feng felt his rage was about to erupt at any moment.
“Why are you being so fierce? I was worried about you being out so late, afraid you might be in danger. Unappreciative is one thing, but you even lash out at me…” Qin Yanan grew more aggrieved as she spoke, and tears began to fall.
Tang Feng immediately felt a headache coming on, “I didn’t say anything, why are you crying? Besides, what danger could a grown man be in? Alright, alright, stop crying.”
As he talked, he handed her a couple of tissues.
Qin Yanan wiped her tears while sneakily observing him, “So, you’re not angry anymore?”
Tang Feng grunted with annoyance.
“Well, that’s good.”
Qin Yanan, who had just been in tears, seemed to recover instantly as soon as she heard he was no longer angry.
She achieved the supreme level of turning her tears on and off at will.
Tang Feng shook his head silently, suddenly reminded of what Zhang Wuji’s mother once told him.
The prettier the woman, the more deceitful they are.
