"Don't come near me!"
Just as Situ Yan's hand was about to reach the blanket, Jiang Feng suddenly stopped her and grabbed her hand!
Situ Yan was momentarily stunned by his words and looked at him in confusion.
"Ahem, I'm not wearing anything below, it's inconvenient," Jiang Feng said awkwardly.
Ah, that's the reason!
No wonder this bastard was being so evasive and behaving strangely; it turns out he wasn't wearing anything under the covers, so he covered himself up to prevent her from seeing.
If it were in the past, Situ Yan would never have believed Jiang Feng to be someone who upholds boundaries, but what happened in the morning already made her understand that Jiang Feng currently has no intention of having any relationship that goes beyond friendship with her. So, it's not surprising that he behaves with such caution.
"As if I'm going to eat you!" Situ Yan indeed fell for it, stepping back angrily.
Her heart was filled with anger. Jiang Feng, being a man, even felt it was a loss to be looked at a few times by her, a woman. Really, there's no one like him!
Seeing that Situ Yan finally backed off, Jiang Feng breathed a sigh of relief.
"Alright, no need to be so tense. I know you're worried about me staying too long here, not wanting Nangong Qingcheng and the others to see me. I'll leave in a while, okay?"
Situ Yan misunderstood Jiang Feng's meaning and glared at him, "Let me tell you, you better be careful in the future. Don't risk your life so easily. Have you ever thought that if something really happened to you today, what would we do? You haven't fulfilled your promise to me yet!"
A promise to her?
Under the covers, Murong Qian, having heard these words, felt a bit indignant despite her initial fear and nervousness—so, Jiang Feng also had something going on with this woman?
She thought she was guilty of wanting to ruin Jiang Feng's relationship with Nangong Qingcheng, but it seems she wasn't the only one with designs on Jiang Feng. Isn't this woman outside the same?
Thinking about how Jiang Feng hid his flirtations from her, Murong Qian couldn't help but pinch Jiang Feng hard under the covers, almost making him grimace in pain.
However, after the pinch, Murong Qian felt better—having someone share the guilt with her made her feel less burdened!
Besides, she might not have an advantage over Nangong Qingcheng, but does she not have an advantage over Situ Yan?!
A stubborn thought started brewing in her mind.
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing, and I will never go back on my word," Jiang Feng reaffirmed.
"Hmph, as long as you understand!" Situ Yan felt a bit relieved hearing this, "After reviewing surveillance footage, our action department now knows you're the one who turned the tide. But Mu SIR personally ordered everyone to respect your wish to stay low-key and not to disturb you."
Jiang Feng nodded. Mu Jianmin had handled that part properly.
"However, he still wants me to represent the entire city's action department and the citizens of Binhai City to thank you..." Situ Yan continued.
"Thank me for what? I didn't do it for anything, just happened to be there. As long as you guys don't cause me trouble, that's all I ask," Jiang Feng replied nonchalantly.
"You!" Situ Yan was furious! Every time she talked to Jiang Feng, he left her speechless!
But Jiang Feng was her nemesis; even if he always made her the butt of jokes, she could only accept it!
"Don't worry! No one will bother you. Although the whole of Binhai is talking about this, the higher-ups have ordered all videos deleted to quickly cool things down, so there will be no more news spreading online," Situ Yan teased.
"Hmm, that suits me just fine," Jiang Feng nodded again.
"Alright, seeing how you're handling everything, I've said what I needed to say, I'm leaving, get up and dress," Situ Yan remarked, noticing Jiang Feng's unchanged demeanor and losing the interest to stay longer.
"Take care, I won't see you out," Jiang Feng sighed.
Situ Yan gave him another fierce glare before turning away without saying anything else.
Only after hearing Situ Yan's footsteps gradually fade away and eventually leave the house did Jiang Feng lift the blanket, shaking his leg slightly with relief, "Alright, Sister Qian, you can come out now!"
That leg was nearly numbed by Murong Qian clinging to it.
Murong Qian had never done anything so embarrassing in her life; annoyed, she pinched Jiang Feng once more before crawling out.
Having been suffocated for too long below, she relished the fresh air and lay back on Jiang Feng's pillow, gulping deep breaths, her face flushed.
Her perfect figure was quite eye-catching as it moved with her breaths.
"Who was she?" Murong Qian asked irritably after a while. If it was really Nangong Qingcheng who returned, it would have been fine to hide, but having to hide for an unrelated woman made Murong Qian feel it was beneath her.
"Just a friend," Jiang Feng explained simply.
"Hmph, not just an ordinary friend, I bet?" Murong Qian gave Jiang Feng a sharp look.
"Ahem, Sister Qian, Qingcheng and the others will be back soon, maybe you should go back too?" Jiang Feng said helplessly to Murong Qian.
Murong Qian was furious, galled that Jiang Feng not only refused to explain but was also eager to send her away, leaving her feeling sour.
"Fine, I'll leave and won't trouble you!" Murong Qian grumbled after regaining her strength, angrily sitting up, slipping her sandals on from under the bed, and taking the medical kit to leave.
"Sister Qian, I won't see you off. I'll treat you to a meal another day," Jiang Feng felt a bit guilty seeing Murong Qian's aggrieved look and said softly.
Murong Qian snorted without a word, leaving in a huff.
Jiang Feng gave a wry smile, watching Murong Qian leave safely before letting out a long breath.
They say three women make a play; with just two, he was almost overwhelmed. Life was about to become a mess!
At that moment, he felt deep regret and guilt towards Nangong Qingcheng.
A debt of beauty, a debt of controversy, a volume of peach blossoms deep as the sea, yet he had no way out, but to take it step by step.
