Chapter 100: Chapter 100: Going Alone with a Sword_1
Seeing Xue Xiaochan’s face like frost, Qin Feng shivered in fright.
"Honey, what are you going to do?"
"Don’t call me honey! ’Brother Feng’ sounds so much nicer, doesn’t it? Hearing it over and over makes my bones soften!"
"How about you call me that too?"
Qin Feng’s unexpected reply made Xue Xiaochan laugh in annoyance.
She cursed irritably, "Get lost! Disgusting!"
"If not ’Brother Feng’, calling me ’husband’ is also fine, you know!"
"Get lost! Dream on!"
"If not here, then how about we do it tonight in bed."
"I’ll beat you to death!"
Xue Xiaochan’s fists, like raindrops, started to pummel Qin Feng’s body.
Suddenly, her cell phone rang.
Glancing at the caller ID, Xue Xiaochan’s beautiful face immediately darkened.
The call was from Xue Yuhang.
After hesitating for a moment, Xue Xiaochan answered it.
"What is it?"
"Jian Shichao has reserved a private room at the Star Moon Club. He wants you to meet him there tonight at eight and suggested you bring Qin Feng too."
After finishing, Xue Yuhang hung up the phone.
Xue Xiaochan was stunned and also a bit uneasy, her pretty face involuntarily filled with several shades of anxiety.
Qin Feng had ears sharper than a dog’s and naturally heard Xue Yuhang’s voice on the phone.
However, he still pretended to be ignorant and asked, "What does cousin-in-law want with you?"
"Nothing important, it’s none of your business."
Xue Xiaochan knew that Jian Shichao’s invitation tonight was most likely a trap, so she decided to go alone, unwilling to risk bringing Qin Feng.
No matter what, she was still the daughter of the Xue Family, and even if they had a falling out, Jian Shichao wouldn’t dare to do anything to her, right?
Qin Feng was different, though—he lacked status.
If Jian Shichao killed him, it would be no different from killing a stray dog.
This was the power of the eight noble families!
"How can it be none of my business? Even though I am a fake husband, I am still your husband! You plan to sneak off to the club at night to have a secret meeting with another man and not take me along? What exactly are you up to? How it is none of my business? I think you, you wretched woman, plan to make me a cuckold, don’t you?"
"What do you mean?"
"Cousin-in-law said on the phone that Jian Shichao wants to meet you at the Star Moon Club at eight tonight. He specifically instructed you could take me along! And now you’re saying you won’t?"
"Not taking you is for your own good!"
"For my good? Putting a green hat on me is for my good?"
"You bastard, spouting nonsense again! I have a sense of decency; I would never make you a cuckold! As long as you’re my husband, even if it’s just pretend, I will never let another man touch even a finger on me! Otherwise, may lightning strike me down!"
"You’re going alone to meet Jian Shichao, and once you enter the Star Moon Club, do you think you’ll still be in charge? By then, you’ll be like a lamb to the slaughter, completely at Jian Shichao’s mercy!"
"Impossible! He wouldn’t dare! No matter what, I am the daughter of the Xue Family; would he dare to dishonor us like that? Even if the Jian Family is one of the eight noble families, they wouldn’t directly confront the Xue Family!"
"Confrontation? Your Xue Family would be overjoyed if you married Jian Shichao! If Jian Shichao slept with you, your family would be setting off firecrackers in celebration! This situation tonight, maybe even cousin-in-law deliberately arranged it. Why else would Jian Shichao ask to bring me along? The rival has declared war already, and if I don’t go, wouldn’t I look like a coward, less of a man? That’s why I must go tonight!"
"You..."
Xue Xiaochan still wanted to refuse, but she simply couldn’t find the words to do so.
At eight that evening, Qin Feng followed Xue Xiaochan to the Star Moon Club.
In the private room.
Jian Shichao was dressed in custom Armani, sporting a slicked-back hairstyle, looking every bit the noble gentleman.
Qin Feng, in his market stall clothing, looked like a laborer from the countryside.
Such a stark contrast, it could be said one was in the heavens, the other on earth.
Xue Xiaochan wore a light blue dress, with little white shoes on her feet, elegant yet retaining a sense of tranquility.
Her hair was tied back into a ponytail, youthful and charming.
The last time he saw Xue Xiaochan, that was three years ago.
Back then, she was still in the Capital.
Since coming to Zhonghai, Jian Shichao had not seen her again.
This first encounter completely dazzled Jian Shichao.
Xue Xiaochan was too beautiful!
She was like a fairy descending to earth, refreshing and unsullied.
She was a million times more beautiful than those vulgar women he was used to playing with.
Initially, when proposing a marriage to the Xue Family, Jian Shichao was only playing around, aiming at the Haiyun Group.
Now, he had changed his mind.
He must take Xue Xiaochan home as his bride.
Beauty and wealth, he wanted it all!
"Long time no see, Xiaochan, you have become even more beautiful."
"Don’t call me Xiaochan, we are not that close. You can call me Mr. Xue, Xue Xiaochan, or Miss Xue."
"Fine!"
Jian Shichao nodded and asked, "And who is this gentleman beside you?"
Xue Xiaochan hooked her arm affectionately around Qin Feng’s, replying, "My husband, Qin Feng."
"Miss Xue, you’re actually married? That truly breaks my heart! But as for your husband, which family’s noble gentleman is he? Could he be from the Capital’s Qin Family?"
"No. He’s just an ordinary person with no remarkable background."
"I thought he might have been a lost pearl of the Qin Family, a wild grandson forgotten out there, but it turns out he is not?"
Jian Shichao scrutinized Qin Feng from head to toe, asking with a playful tone, "If you’re not the Qin Family’s wild grandson, where did you get the guts to marry Xue Xiaochan?"
"Love."
"Hahahahaha..."
Jian Shichao’s laughter boomed in response to Qin Feng’s reply.
After laughing, he haughtily said, "Now I’ll give you two options: the first is to leave Xue Xiaochan, and the second is to die!"
"On what basis should I leave Xue Xiaochan?"
Jian Shichao pulled out a check and slapped it on the table.
"Judging by your outfit, your family must be quite poor, right? I know you and Xue Xiaochan have a sham marriage. Here’s a million, just leave her and the money is yours."
"You think a million can buy me off?"
Clap! Clap!
Jian Shichao clapped his hands twice, and instantly, several scantily clad women from the demi-monde walked in.
These women had decent looks, scoring about six or seven points, especially with makeup.
In the nightlife scene, they absolutely qualified as great beauties.
All of them were from the Star Moon Club, ranked as Class A.
Their fee for appearing each hour was ten thousand yuan.
"Do as I say, and not only will you get a million, but you can also pick one of these beauties here to spend the night with you. I believe a loser like you will absolutely never have the chance to touch such high-class women. Today you lucked out, consider it a bargain."
Jian Shichao lit a cigar, placing it between his lips.
He puffed away while sardonically sizing up Qin Feng.
He believed that a loser wouldn’t have the willpower to refuse a million in cash and these easily obtained beauties.
