Chapter 84

“High-end cosmetics? Brother Feng, why are we giving this kind of gift? Don’t all girls like jewelry and such?” Wang Tie asked, puzzled.

Yi Feng chuckled lightly, “You said it yourself, that’s for girls, but Secretary Lan is not just any girl, she’s more of a young matron.”

“They care more about their appearance because they can establish themselves in society and enjoy material benefits beyond ordinary people, relying solely on their face and figure.”

“If their beauty fades, their fate might be even worse than that of a neglected wife.”

“In fact, most mistresses and lovers don’t end well, and even fewer rise to a significant status.”

Wang Tie had a moment of realization, “Brother Feng makes sense, I understand now.”

“Let’s do it tomorrow. I’ll bring the list in the afternoon when I go to see Feng Ze, and you can secretly deliver the gift to Secretary Lan,” Yi Feng said with a smile.

Wang Tie scratched his head, grinning, “Okay, Brother Feng, I’ll handle it!”

Yi Feng checked the time on his phone; it was almost 1 AM, “It’s already 1 AM, let’s go back and rest.”

He extinguished his cigarette in the ashtray and left the teahouse with Wang Tie.

Returning home, Yi Feng, drunk, went straight to bed without washing up.

He didn’t know how long he had slept when he was woken up by noise from outside.

Groggily, he opened his eyes to see sunlight streaming through the window, indicating it was no longer early morning.

Checking his phone, he was shocked to find it was already 11 AM.

“Ah, my head hurts!”

A throbbing pain hit him, a common aftermath of drinking too much.

He patted his forehead and massaged his temples.

Waking up after drinking was always the worst.

Who was making noise outside?

Could it be his dad was back?

“Are you awake yet, stinky Feng?” Gu Maxi’s crisp voice came from outside.

Yi Feng’s eyes darted around, and he continued to lie in bed, pretending to be asleep.

After a while, footsteps approached.

The door creaked open, and Gu Muxi entered with a broom.

“Huh? Still not awake?”

“I thought you were up!”

“Really, all you do is smoke and drink!” Gu Muxi complained, hands on her hips, pouting at Yi Feng on the bed.

“Why does mom always make me clean up?”

“Does stinky Yi Feng have no hands or feet?”

“Forget it, he’s always drunk and useless!”

As Gu Muxi grumbled, she began cleaning Yi Feng’s room.

The room was filled with the smell of cigarettes and alcohol, disgusting!

“Maybe I should just throw him out on the street!”

“I’d love to, but my body won’t allow it!”

“Ha, who told you to drink so much? Serves you right now!”

“I can’t help it, it’s the way of the world. Understand me a little.”

“No excuses, hurry up.”

“Gu Muxi, can’t I take it slow?”

Gu Muxi cracked her knuckles menacingly, “If you don’t want to get up, I can help.”

“No, no, I’m up, okay?”

“I warn you, a gentleman uses his words, not his hands!” Yi Feng quickly got out of bed.

Gu Muxi proudly lifted her chin, “Use my words? You think you deserve that?”

Yi Feng grinned, “Of course, talking is always better than fighting.”

“Ha, if I start talking, you’d be close to breaking down.”

Yi Feng eyed her lips, nodding seriously, “Indeed, I’d surely be defeated.”

Gu Muxi rolled her eyes, “Get up, go take a shower, you reek of smoke and alcohol!”

“Hehe, okay, wait for me.”

Yi Feng got up, grabbed clothes from the closet, and dashed to the bathroom.

Inside, he whistled cheerfully while showering.

Just as he finished washing his hair and reached for a towel, he realized it was missing.

Then he remembered, Gu Muxi had taken it to his room.

Yi Feng cracked the bathroom door open slightly and called out.

“Gu Muxi, can you bring me my towel?”

“Stinky Yi Feng, you shower without a towel?”

“Uh... I forgot, okay? Help me out.”

“Such a hassle.”

Despite her complaints, Gu Muxi fetched his towel.

Approaching the bathroom door, she saw Yi Feng had only left a tiny crack, too small to pass the towel through.

“Hey, hey, stinky Feng, what are you doing? How am I supposed to give this to you with such a small opening?” Gu Muxi glared at him.

Yi Feng chuckled, “I was just worried about accidentally exposing myself and scaring you.”

He reached out through the crack for the towel.

Gu Muxi scoffed, “Scare me? There’s not much in this world that can do that.”

“Besides, we’ve seen each other naked as kids. I know every mole on your body!”
