Chapter 57

“Little nemesis, for a moment I thought you’d grown tired of the old and fallen for the new. Only smiling for the newcomers, never hearing the old ones weep, huh.”

Qin Yanan plopped down on the sofa without a care for her image, grabbing from the half-eaten bag of chips Tang Feng had left from the day before and shoveling them into her mouth nonstop.

Her feet, perched on the coffee table, swung back and forth.

Tang Feng walked over and took her feet off the table, “You’re at least considered a true goddess-level beauty, can’t you care a little about your image?”

Qin Yanan shoved a chip into her mouth and glanced askance at him, “In front of you, there’s no need.”

Tang Feng was immediately puzzled, “Why is there no need in front of me?”

Qin Yanan slipped off her pair of red high heels and sat cross-legged on the sofa, “In your presence, no matter how much I maintain my image or try to tempt you, you still dare not do anything. So why bother casting amorous glances at a blind man?”

Stung by her words, Tang Feng revealed a ferocious smile, “Are you so sure I wouldn’t dare to do anything? If I can’t control myself today, you better not cry for your daddy or mommy.”

“Come on, if you’ve got the guts, then be impulsive!”

Seemingly certain he was a coward, Qin Yanan showed no fear; instead, she slipped one of her straps down a little.

She was wearing a red slip dress, and with that one move, she exposed a large expanse of her fair skin.

Tang Feng couldn’t hold back anymore and quickly advanced two steps, cornering her on the sofa.

“Ah… Tang Feng, you actually dare to lay your hands on me?” Qin Yanan realized she was playing with fire, and immediately let out a shriek.

“Today should serve as a lesson for you not to casually flirt with a man, because the consequences could be very serious.” Tang Feng’s hand had already reached beneath her dress, ready to explore further at any moment.

“Bastard, I’m your boss.”

“When you put it like that, it seems even more thrilling.”

“Ah… Tang Feng, stop it, I won’t dare again,” Qin Yanan, seeing that playing tough was useless, immediately caved in, her eyes pleading and tears welling up.

“Just now you were quite arrogant, right? Now that I’m getting serious, you chicken out?” Tang Feng couldn’t help but scold as he got up and stood.

He had just received the system and hadn’t even had the chance to really enjoy life yet.

If at this point he let a woman derail his prospects and ended up behind bars for a decade or two, it would be a total loss.

Of course, it was possible that after the deed, Qin Yanan might be so overwhelmed by his formidable prowess that she’d become completely submissive to him.

But he didn’t dare to bet on it.

Because if he bet wrong, his future would be completely ruined.

Anyway, now that he had the system’s assistance, his strength would grow by leaps and bounds each day.

Eventually, he wouldn’t need to force anyone, plenty of women would throw themselves at him.

He knew the difference between a rare indulgence and a steady diet of luxury.

Qin Yanan, this woman, did seem to have a bit of a masochistic streak.

Just now, she was begging for mercy repeatedly, but as soon as Tang Feng spared her, she got up, straightened her clothes, and continued to provoke him.

“I knew it, you’re just a coward, only good for bluffing.”

Seeing Tang Feng’s unfriendly gaze, she quickly got up to flee, “It’s getting late, I need to go back to sleep.”

But Tang Feng had already stepped forward and leaned against the door.

Qin Yanan immediately retreated in fright, her pretty face turning pale, “What… what do you want? I warn you, if you dare to mess around, I… I…”

“What will you do?” Tang Feng asked with a hint of a wicked smile.

“I… I’ll jump down from here.” Qin Yanan, realizing she couldn’t escape through the front door, hurriedly ran to the window and threatened.

Tang Feng shook his head, “This is the second floor; you probably won’t die from a jump, but you might break a leg, bruise your face, or break your back. For the rest of your life, you might have to use a wheelchair or wear a mask when going out.”

Qin Yanan’s face instantly changed.

For a beauty like her, becoming disabled would be a fate worse than death.

Tang Feng shook his head with a smile, choosing not to tease her further, “I was just kidding with you; actually, I have something serious to discuss.”

“You have something serious?” Qin Yanan started to get snarky again but she was at least relieved.

As long as he didn’t make any excessive demands on her, she could just temporarily play along. She could still renege after getting away.

Tang Feng didn’t bother with her thoughts and simply sat down on the sofa, “Do you know anything about that Wang Xiaodao who lives on the fourth floor?”

“Wang Xiaodao? Isn’t that a guy? Don’t tell me you don’t even spare the men?” Qin Yanan was somewhat surprised when he inquired about the tenant on the fourth floor.

Tang Feng rolled his eyes, “Can’t you put aside your fujoshi thoughts for a moment and just answer my question?”

Qin Yanan nodded, “Of course, I know. That tenant is from Gan Province, came to South Yue Province for work.”

“What work?” Tang Feng pressed on.

“How should I know? I’m just a landlord, not the Public Affairs Hall. Why should I check so thoroughly? As long as he’s not engaging in criminal activities, he can do whatever he likes,” Qin Yanan said dismissively.

“What if I told you he is engaged in criminal activities?” Tang Feng’s expression turned grave.

“Oh, please, stop joking around. You’re the one who looks like you’re about to commit a crime,” she said, wrapping her clothes around her, paying no heed to his statement. “Alright, enough chit-chat, I’m going back to sleep.”

“Hold it!” Tang Feng saw her trying to leave and got up to stop her again.

“Tang Feng, what on earth do you want?” Qin Yanan was genuinely a bit angry now, losing her previous frivolity and instead carrying a hint of authority.

If it had been the Tang Feng of the past, he would certainly have been intimidated by her at this point.

But he’d seen a bit of the world over the past couple of days, and his courage had grown considerably. Not only did he not back down, but he also took two steps forward.

“You listen to me now. I’m not joking with you, I’m trying to save you, do you understand?”

“That tenant called Wang Xiaodao, indeed he’s problematic—and he has a big problem!”

Qin Yanan was stunned by his demeanor, speechless for a moment.

At that moment, he was so handsome!
