"Miss Tang, what's going on? I said the painting was genuine, why aren't you happy?"
Lin Feng felt strange. Xia Weiguo and Tang Wan's reactions were too abnormal.
"Come in!"
Tang Wan called Lin Feng into Xia Xue's boudoir.
Upon entering the room, Tang Wan pulled over a chair and sat down. She fiddled with her hair and gazed at Lin Feng, saying, "I came to find Uncle Xia this time because I want him to teach me some knowledge of Oriental ancient architecture, so I can gather some design inspiration!"
"As you know, we Orientals never like to receive favors for free. So I lied and said I was giving Uncle Xia a high-quality imitation painting by Tang Yin, so he could accept it with peace of mind."
"But I still underestimated Uncle Xia's meticulousness. He called you to appraise it, and you, unaware of the situation, declared the painting to be genuine. Naturally, he was unhappy."
After speaking, Tang Wan took the initiative to extend her fair hand and held Lin Feng's, like a devoted wife confiding her troubles to her husband.
Lin Feng smiled with understanding. So Tang Wan needed Xia Weiguo for work matters.
It was evident that Tang Wan cared a great deal about this collaboration with Phil; otherwise, she wouldn't have put in so much effort.
Understanding the situation, Lin Feng gave an awkward smile and said, "So that's how it is. If I had known, I would have said the painting was a fake!"
"It's not your fault. I'm just overthinking things, I don't want to owe anyone. In fact, money isn't everything to some people; it can even be off-putting."
Tang Wan smiled charmingly, caressing Lin Feng's large hand. At this moment, she felt an unusual sense of comfort and stability.
With his hand held by Tang Wan's soft and delicate one, Lin Feng's mind immediately drifted back to the intimate scene earlier. If Xia Xue hadn't suddenly interrupted, he might have already been intimate with the stunning beauty Tang Wan.
Especially in Xia Xue's boudoir, and behind the backs of Xia Weiguo and Xue Jingru, the feeling was incredibly exhilarating.
Thinking about it, Lin Feng felt a surge of heat within him.
Tang Wan seemed to sense the warmth from Lin Feng's palm. She stood up, leaned forward, and kissed Lin Feng on the lips with her ruby-red lips.
Faced with the beautiful woman's embrace, Lin Feng naturally wouldn't refuse. He decisively hugged Tang Wan's slender waist and kissed her passionately.
The kiss ignited their passion, and Lin Feng pushed Tang Wan onto Xia Xue's bed, then pinned her down. As they kissed, his hands began to explore her body.
It had to be said, Tang Wan's figure was truly sexy, with a voluptuous physique and a sweet, delectable mouth.
A potent aura of hormones quickly filled the entire room.
Like dry tinder meeting fierce flames, their reactions began to intensify.
However, just as Lin Feng was about to unbutton Tang Wan's bra, hurried footsteps were heard from outside the door.
The next second, the door was pushed open, and a panting Xia Xue appeared at the entrance.
Originally, Xia Xue was excited to hear from Xia Weiguo that Lin Feng had come over, at least knowing Lin Feng was safe.
But when she saw Lin Feng and Tang Wan rolling around and kissing on her bed, Xia Xue was completely stunned.
"You, what are you doing?"
Xia Xue's pretty face flushed red, and she exclaimed in disbelief.
Lin Feng hurriedly stood up, straightened his disheveled clothes, and said with a smile, "Nothing much, I was just chatting with Miss Tang about some things."
"Chatting about things? Chatting until you're on the bed, kissing and touching?"
It was the first time Xia Xue had heard such a bizarre excuse. Lin Feng was treating her like an idiot, wasn't he?
Tang Wan, on the other hand, seemed unfazed. She calmly explained, "Miss Xia, I came specifically to talk to Uncle Xia about some matters. I happened to run into little brother Lin Feng, so we got a bit affectionate."
"You say it so easily. Get affectionate at home! What's with you two getting affectionate in my house?"
Xia Xue was very angry, an inexplicable rage.
She had been worried about Lin Feng's safety, but here he was, getting involved with Tang Wan in her home, in her boudoir. Wasn't this guy a bit too indiscriminate?
The more Xia Xue thought about it, the angrier she became. She pointed angrily at Lin Feng and said, "You're not welcome in our house. Get out!"
Seeing that Xia Xue was really upset, Lin Feng saw no point in lingering. He turned to leave.
Seeing Lin Feng leaving as soon as she told him to, Xia Xue angrily followed him.
"Lin, what do you mean by this? I asked you to pretend to be my boyfriend, but you're messing around with Tang Wan in my house behind my parents' backs while I'm away? Are you trying to make my parents so angry they die?"
Xia Xue's beautiful eyes blazed with anger. She caught up to Lin Feng and grabbed his shoulder.
"Captain Xia, can you go a little lighter? It hurts!"
Lin Feng frowned and quickly broke free from Xia Xue's grasp.
He reached out to touch his aching shoulder. Opening his hand, his palm was covered in blood.
"You, are you okay?"
Seeing Lin Feng like this, Xia Xue's angry little face instantly showed a trace of nervousness and concern.
She had forgotten that Lin Feng's shoulder had taken a hit for her.
"As long as you're gentle with me, I'll be fine! How can you be so rough with an injured person!"
Lin Feng helplessly unbuttoned his shirt, revealing the bloody wound on his shoulder.
The more Xia Xue looked, the more guilty she felt. Like a child who had done something wrong, she lowered her head and murmured, "I, I just forgot you were injured! Besides, you're this badly hurt and you still have the energy to fool around with Tang Wan. It can't be that serious!"
"What did you say!?"
Lin Feng was amused by Xia Xue's words and teased, "Captain Xia, what business is it of yours whether Miss Tang and I are fooling around? I'm just pretending to be your boyfriend, not your real boyfriend. Don't get carried away by the act!"
"Me getting carried away? What are you dreaming about? You scumbag, any woman who falls for you must be blind!"
Xia Xue pouted dismissively.
"It's best if you think that way. It's getting late, I'm heading back. You can have fun on your own."
Lin Feng put on his clothes and turned to leave.
"Hey, you really don't need to go to the hospital? Can you make it?"
Xia Xue still asked with some concern.
"It's just a minor injury, I won't die! I'm going back!"
Lin Feng waved his hand, feeling a tiny bit touched.
At least this violent girl Xia Xue wasn't as cold and heartless as he imagined. She still cared about his life and death, so it wasn't a complete waste of that hit.
After leaving Xia Xue's house, Lin Feng headed to a pharmacy. He needed to buy some poison to refine into true qi to heal the injury on his arm.
Speaking of buying medicine, Lin Feng suddenly remembered something he had been neglecting: the clue about his senior sister's hairpin.
According to Su Qingya, the hairpin was found at the entrance of a pharmacy called Shenyi Tang. How could he forget about looking for Shenyi Tang!
At this thought, Lin Feng immediately hailed a taxi.
"Buddy, where to?"
The taxi driver showed a knowing smile when he saw Lin Feng going out so late.
"Master, do you know Shenyi Tang?"
Lin Feng said.
"Shenyi Tang?"
The driver paused for a moment, then smiled casually, "Yes, get in."
About ten minutes later, the taxi stopped by the roadside.
After Lin Feng got out of the car, he looked at the brightly lit neon sign and was a bit bewildered.
He was supposed to be going to Shenyi Tang, but this taxi driver had brought him to a place called 'Gengyi Tang'.
Could Shenyi Tang have changed its name to Gengyi Tang?
Lin Feng was a bit confused but still walked over.
