Chapter 70: 【70】Don’t you guys like women who are a bit wild? _1

“So tell me, why have you stopped talking? I want to hear it, come on, speak up…” With each phrase Qin Yanan uttered, she kicked his shin with her petite foot.
The shoes she wore were a pair of pointed high heels, which really hurt when they hit the leg.
Tang Feng couldn’t take it anymore and immediately spread his legs apart.
When she aimed another kick his way, he swiftly clamped his legs together, trapping her slender leg between them.
“Ah…”
Qin Yanan let out a startled cry, struggling to pull away.
But his legs were as tight as a crocodile’s jaw, her leg was caught, and she couldn’t pull it free.
Her sudden scream had already drawn the attention of several other customers in the restaurant who were eating their noodles.
When these customers turned around to see what was happening, they all wore bemused expressions on their faces.
“You… let go,” Qin Yanan pleaded, red-faced and whispering urgently.
“Heh, you still dare to speak to me with that tone?” Tang Feng scoffed, and continued eating his noodles without looking up.
Qin Yanan was so infuriated she grit her teeth, and noticing everyone’s strange looks, she reluctantly softened her stance, “Fine, fine, I’m wrong, okay? Just let me go quickly, everyone’s laughing at us.”
Tang Feng chewed his noodles smugly, “Say something nice first.”
“Say… say something nice?” Qin Yanan became even more indignant.
“That depends on your sincerity,” Tang Feng said, the corner of his mouth curling into an impish smile.
Clenching her small fists and holding back her temper, Qin Yanan finally decided to bite the bullet. “Good little brother, I was wrong, can you let your sister go, please?”
Tang Feng glared at her with annoyance, “Calling who little brother? You’re the little brother; everyone in your family is a little brother.”
Qin Yanan’s fists clenched so tight her veins popped, “You’re younger than me, what should I call you if not little brother? Surely not big brother, right?”
Tang Feng nodded, “Alright, let’s hear you say ‘big brother’ then.”
“Tang Feng, don’t push it too far,” Qin Yanan’s voice suddenly pitched two octaves higher.
“So are you gonna say it or not? If not, let’s keep this position. If you don’t mind the embarrassment, why should I be afraid?” Tang Feng taunted with a punch-deserving look.
Qin Yanan glared at him without concealing the threat in her eyes, her chest heaving with anger.
But Tang Feng was unaffected and carried on eating his noodles.
In the end, Qin Yanan was the one to back down, grinding her teeth as she forced the words “big brother” out.
Her voice was as faint as a mosquito’s, barely audible unless one listened closely.
“What was that? I didn’t hear you clearly. Can you say it louder?” he teased.
“Tang Feng, you’re going too far.”
“This is too much for you? If you’re not happy, bite me.”
“I am your boss, you believe I’ll fire you?”
“Sure, then fire me. Believe it or not, if I leave Ya Garden and go to the Shengdingxuan Antique Shop across the street, I’ll compete with you every day?”
Tang Feng was oozing confidence now, with the backbone to stand up to his boss.
Instantly, Qin Yanan’s aura deflated a bit.
She had finally found a suitable replacement for the position of chief appraiser, approved by Mr. Zhang.
Now, she was actually worried about pushing Tang Feng too far and forcing him to defect.
After thinking through this practical problem, she had no choice but to lower her stance and obediently call out “big brother” again.
Only then did Tang Feng feel satisfied and release her leg.
When Qin Yanan saw his smug look, she was seething with anger.
But soon she had an idea, her lips curling into a mischievous smile, and she gave him a seductive glance.
“Good big brother, are you satisfied with how I behaved?” Her tone was full of seduction, every word dripping with flirtation.
All of the male customers in the restaurant shuddered, overwhelmed by her charm.
Tang Feng nearly choked on his noodle soup and hastily set his bowl down, “Mrs. Nan, in such a public place, can we… not be so… frivolous?”
What he really wanted to say was “flirty,” but considering his standing, he felt he couldn’t be so crude and quickly changed his word choice.
Biting her lower lip, Qin Yanan threw him a sultry look, “Flirty? Don’t all you men like it a bit flirty? Right, big brother~”
Her “big brother” carried a teasing lilt that almost swept Tang Feng off his feet; he felt like his bones were about to melt.
“Cough cough, Mrs. Nan, let’s talk about saving… saving Mr. Shen instead,” he suggested.
He thought if she kept this up, he might not be able to resist dragging her into the washroom for some immediate justice.
To avoid heading down a road of no return, it was best to change the subject sooner rather than later.
Sure enough, when Qin Yanan heard the name “Mr. Shen,” she immediately turned serious, “Do you have a way to help Mr. Shen?”
Seeing her so concerned about another man, Tang Feng felt a twinge of jealousy and asked discontentedly, “Is that Mr. Shen handsome?”
Qin Yanan was taken aback, “Why would you ask that?”
“Just answer my question, it’s related to helping him,” Tang Feng claimed with feigned earnestness.
Sure, it was.
If he was handsome, then he could very well fend for himself.
Seeing him so solemnly dedicated to the rescue plan, Qin Yanan felt compelled to answer truthfully, “Although I haven’t met him, I heard Mr. Shen is quite fat, probably over two hundred pounds.”
Tang Feng immediately felt a little relieved; it seemed this was a task he could take on.
But still not entirely at ease, he inquired further, “Does he have a wife or a girlfriend?”
Qin Yanan nodded, “Of course, Mr. Shen is over forty and has been married for more than a decade.”
“Are they happily married?” Tang Feng pressed on.
“Mr. Shen and his wife are known to be a very loving couple in the antiques circle,” Qin Yanan confirmed yet again.
“Then I am relieved,” Tang Feng finally relaxed completely.
Qin Yanan looked at him suspiciously, “Relieved about what?”
Tang Feng winked at her, “I was worried about having another rival in love.”
Qin Yanan was initially perplexed but soon caught on to the implication of his words, her eyes turning sultry once again, “So you’re jealous of your sister? Naughty little brother, you’re not being good~”
Tang Feng’s expression changed instantly, “Cough cough, let’s get back to discussing how to help Mr. Shen…”
