Nangong Qingcheng?
What Jiang Feng never expected was that Nangong Qingcheng actually came to his room door!
He even thought of calling her, was this some kind of telepathic connection?
"Why are you blocking the doorway? Not letting me in?"
Nangong Qingcheng cast Jiang Feng a sidelong glance as he stood in the doorway and said.
At this moment, Nangong Qingcheng had clearly just finished her shower. She wore a nightgown, her wet hair draped over her fragrant shoulders, and her feet in a pair of women's slippers provided by the room, emanating a rich scent of body wash. She was as fresh and elegant as a lotus out of water.
"Why did you come over here?" Jiang Feng asked in surprise.
"Am I not welcome?"
"How could that be, it's just unexpected."
Jiang Feng quickly stepped aside to let Nangong Qingcheng in.
Nangong Qingcheng glanced around at the relatively simple living conditions and frowned slightly.
There was only one bed, a small TV, and an individual bathroom here, totaling no more than 20 square meters.
Compared to her stay in the "presidential suite" upstairs, she felt a bit guilty towards Jiang Feng.
To protect his reputation, Jiang Feng has really made too many sacrifices, and every critical moment when he stood up to protect her, to uphold her dignity, it was always him!
This is a man who genuinely cares for her, a man worthy of her lifetime commitment!
Nangong Qingcheng took a deep breath and walked over to sit by Jiang Feng's bed.
She then gazed at Jiang Feng and said, "Jiang Feng, I want to talk to you alone for a while."
"Sure," Jiang Feng sat across from Nangong Qingcheng and curiously asked, "What do you want to talk about?"
"Do you think it was a mistake for me to be good-looking?"
Nangong Qingcheng was full of bitterness: "Why does everyone only focus on my appearance and not my inner self?"
Right now, she was really troubled, feeling that her efforts, hard work, and dedication went unnoticed.
In the end, it was her beauty that caught people's attention, which really hit her self-esteem hard.
It seemed as if her greatest asset was this outer shell, and without it, she would be nothing.
"How can you say that?"
Jiang Feng found it funny: "In this era where looks are everything, people envy you so much, how can you have such thoughts?"
"Others coveting your looks, that's their issue; it has nothing to do with you, and you shouldn't question yourself because of it."
"You also said that looks come first, so is it because I'm pretty that you want to protect and care for me?" Nangong Qingcheng tilted her head and asked.
"You're being unfair!"
Jiang Feng shook his head in disappointment: "Our relationship just started warming recently, and back when the Old Man arranged our engagement, you showed me sour faces every day. Back then, you weren't pretty at all, but didn't I still silently endure and protect you?"
"I didn't understand you back then, but now that I do, I know you're not as bad as I imagined. Aren't I treating you much better now?"
Hearing this, Nangong Qingcheng felt a bit wronged, but her tone came off as coquettish.
"Haha, yes, you are nicer to me now, at least you're willing to come over in the middle of the night to chat,"
Jiang Feng joked, intentionally using this approach to lighten Nangong Qingcheng's mood.
At this moment, Nangong Qingcheng indeed seemed much more normal.
Hmph!
Nangong Qingcheng took her white, jade-like feet out of her slippers and placed them on the bed, holding the hem of her dress while hugging her knees, looking very upset.
"I'm seriously asking you, if I intentionally dressed ugly, would it be better? This way, others wouldn't focus on my appearance and would avoid a lot of trouble…"
"There's no need," Jiang Feng shook his head: "You don't need to overthink because of someone like Dongfang Hui; that beast in human form is in the minority. Just be yourself."
Nangong Qingcheng didn't respond. After all, this issue had really hit her hard, and she needed to process it.
Nangong Qingcheng looked at Jiang Feng without blinking.
With anyone else saying such boasting in front of her, she would naturally think they're bluffing to win her favor.
But hearing Jiang Feng say it made her believe it wholeheartedly, as if he was sure to do what he said!
"Alright, stop overthinking, was this what you came for?" Jiang Feng laughed and patted Nangong Qingcheng's hair.
"How can you still laugh!"
Nangong Qingcheng adorably pouted her lips: "You beat Pan Sheng and Dongfang Hui so badly tonight, did you think about how they might retaliate afterward?"
"Pan Sheng certainly doesn't have the guts; the Dongfang father and son might, but as for their methods, I'm really looking forward to it." Jiang Feng said meaningfully.
"As long as you know what you're doing," Nangong Qingcheng sighed softly, seeing Jiang Feng's calm demeanor made her feel much better, not as miserable as before.
"Alright, stop overthinking. Now that Dongfang Hui has been disabled by me, and Dongfang Yu intimidated by me, you're absolutely safe on this ship, go back and rest."
Jiang Feng smiled at Nangong Qingcheng: "Remember what I said, don't let anything weigh on your mind; if the sky falls, I'll hold it up for you!"
What is a straight man of steel?
A straight man of steel is someone who tells you to leave while you haven't mentioned wanting to stay.
Nangong Qingcheng was so annoyed. Could this guy be any more clueless?
"I don't want to sleep upstairs tonight, I want to sleep here!"
Nangong Qingcheng glared at Jiang Feng and spoke with a pout.
Her cheeks had long turned red, as she turned and slid her long, snow-white legs into Jiang Feng's bed, tugging the blanket over herself.
Jiang Feng was stunned, a bit dumbfounded!
She said what? She wants to sleep here tonight?!
But there's only one bed, and it's a single bed. If she sleeps here, where should he go?
