Chapter 1248: Feng Qiu Huang Part 2
Li Sheng Xuan’s body jolted in fear slightly when she sensed Xu Feng’s hostile gaze directed at her.
’What’s with the sudden hostility?’ She was confused by the change in behavior until a voice echoed, which made her realize the reason behind it.
"Sheng Xuan Mei Mei, we met again." Bu Lai fanned himself with a folding fan and greeted Li Sheng Xuan in a warm tone.
"I didn’t expect to see you here in the Phoenix Brothel." He continued, clearly disregarding Xu Feng’s presence as he approached the table with a prideful grin.
And maybe it was because her Lady’s temperament had changed, but Qiao’er’s expression was cold when looking at Bu Lai.
’What kind of nonsense is he talking about?’ Qiao’er was exasperated. She had clearly known how Bu Lai was following them all along.
So how in the world could Bu Lai declare so shamelessly in pretending that they encountered by chance?
Qiao’er had awakened from her so-called fantasy perception of Bu Lai and now found him very hypocritical and disgusting.
’This bastard is here to sabotage my relationship with Feng.’ Li Sheng Xuan clenched her fist secretly.
She wanted to keep her composure, but the colder and more hostile Xu Feng directed at her, the more she felt her heart being pierced by multiple arrows.
"Since your white moonlight is here, do find your own table and stop disturbing us." Xu Feng grabbed his wine cup and drank a mouthful.
His eyes then shifted to Du Cheng and warned sternly, "Also, Young Master Cheng should mind his behavior. Xiao Ying is my maid, and any further harassment coming from you, then I don’t mind executing you on the spot."
Shortly after his warning, Xu Feng wrapped his arm around Ding Xiao Ying’s waist and pulled her closer to him.
Ding Xiao Ying gladly assisted with the motion and leaned her head on Xu Feng’s chest, feeling his body warmth. Her expression revealed a blissful look, clearly emphasizing that she loved to be embraced by him.
Upon seeing this scene, both Li Sheng Xuan and Du Cheng’s faces twisted into an ugly expression.
Li Sheng Xuan was fuming because she realized her relationship with Xu Feng seemed to have widened.
As for Du Cheng, he was livid upon seeing the woman he loved being embraced by another man. What was more infuriating was that he couldn’t even do anything against it.
By Daxia Dynasty law, Ding Xiao Ying was legally the maid of Xu Feng, which meant she was forever his woman unless the contract was unbound.
However, Du Cheng also knew that even without the existence of the contract, he might not be able to obtain Ding Xiao Ying’s heart away from Xu Feng.
This kind of painful and bittersweet one-sided love was really excruciating!
"Young Master Feng’s temperament is really terrible." Bu Lai suddenly said and shook his head. "We’re just here for a greeting, so what’s with the hostility and unwelcoming behavior?"
"This is my table, purchased with my money." Xu Feng snorted and pointed his finger at another empty table. "If you’re poor and can’t afford a table, then I don’t mind you kneeling down like a dead dog to stick around."
"You—" Bu Lai’s eyes narrowed coldly.
Who was he?
He was the Young Master of the Lethal Clan. His father was the vice-minister of revenue in the Daxia Dynasty.
In terms of wealth, he did not lack any!
How dare this Xu Feng openly accuse him of being poor and needing to hug someone else’s thigh to get a free table!
"ENOUGH!" Before Bu Lai could escalate the matter further, Li Sheng Xuan’s emotions finally broke out. She raised her voice and slammed her palm heavily on the table.
"Young Master Cheng and Young Master Lai, the two of you should find another table and stop disturbing us." She declared solemnly and turned her attention to Tao Weng, seemingly implying to her to remove these two people from their table.
When Tao Weng repeatedly got interrupted by these people, she was initially displeased. But upon seeing how the usually mild and calm temperament of Li Sheng Xuan exploded in fury, she realized the situation was extremely serious.
’Just what did these two do to provoke Miss Xuan to such a degree?’ Tao Weng was dumbfounded. The Sheng Clan was extremely influential in both the court and the merchant circle.
To summarize, the Sheng Clan was the easiest choice to side with because even with the combination of the Du Clan and Lethal Clan, they were still nothing but an ant in front of the Sheng Clan.
"Men, escort these two gentlemen to another empty table." Tao Weng gestured her fingers for the nearby guards to make a move.
"Sheng Xuan Mei Mei?!!" Bu Lai raised an eyebrow in disbelief. He wondered if his ears had heard wrong.
She actually wanted him and Du Cheng removed??!
Wasn’t it supposed to be Xu Feng?
"Stop calling me Sheng Xuan Mei Mei!" Li Sheng Xuan hissed coldly. She could sense Xu Feng’s impression of her had turned completely negative with every word Bu Lai had spouted.
With her outburst, the Phoenix Brothel’s guards didn’t dare to hesitate anymore and promptly removed the two of them to a faraway table.
They didn’t get kicked out because Tao Weng didn’t wish to offend any parties. As the Madam of a Qinglou, relationships and connections were extremely important. Although she sided with the Sheng Clan this time, she also wouldn’t completely offend the Du Clan and Lethal Clan.
Shortly after their removal, Xu Feng also waved his finger to gesture for Li Sheng Xuan to leave.
"Get out. I don’t want more of your white moonlight to interrupt us." He said coldly.
"I’m not leaving." Li Sheng Xuan refused. She then stood up and sat next to him. As if wanting to prove a point, she wrapped her arms around his.
"I know you’re mad at me, but can’t you see my attitude?"
"Roll!" Xu Feng pulled his arm away and stood up.
"Xiao Ying, this poem is for you." He smiled warmly at her as he went to the center platform to present his poem for the bidding.
"I believe in you, Young Master." Like a love brain, Ding Xiao Ying cheered excitedly for him, even if he was actually going up to bid for the courtesan.
