Chapter 239: Chapter 239: Needle Tip Against Wheat Awn
Yang Fei and Li Xuanyu hadn’t waited long at the gate of Tiancheng Villa when Qin Yanyang drove up.
The moment she got out of the car, Li Xuanyu felt an unprecedented pressure.
She had heard that Yang Fei was married, which caused her a sting in her heart, but she quickly regained her strong confidence.
In her view, Yang Fei’s wife must be beautiful and outstanding, otherwise, Yang Fei wouldn’t have been interested. However, no matter how excellent and beautiful other women might be, they should pale in comparison to her.
Yet, upon seeing Qin Yanyang approaching with a smile, Li Xuanyu had a ridiculous feeling, sensing that Yang Fei was drifting further and further away from her.
She felt a sudden loss of Yang Fei.
Although she had never really possessed him, Li Xuanyu had tremendous confidence. She believed that with a little effort, Yang Fei could not escape her grasp.
But the appearance of this woman put a lot of pressure on Li Xuanyu.
Zhang Long was also very surprised.
He had long heard that Yang Fei was married, but Yang Fei was so young that Zhang Long could hardly believe he would marry so early.
Now that he finally saw Yang Fei’s wife, he was utterly amazed.
Such beauty, such figure, and especially such temperament, were absolutely stunning.
Seeing Yang Fei go up to her, the beautiful lady with an excellent temperament took Yang Fei’s arm in a very intimate manner. Zhang Long swallowed a few times, and his admiration for Yang Fei knew no bounds.
Mr. Yang indeed, everyone around him is high caliber.
Oh no, top caliber, ceiling-level top caliber indeed.
The big boss is truly a big boss.
Yang Fei walked towards Li Xuanyu with Qin Yanyang, introducing, "Yanyang, this is Miss Li Xuanyu, the young lady of Li Family’s Financial Group. I received her help when I was abroad. She’s a very good friend of mine."
Qin Yanyang had noticed Li Xuanyu from the corner of her eye before even getting out of the car. She found the woman looked better than on TV and gave her a sense of threat.
Although there were feelings between her and Yang Fei, they weren’t usually so intimate. However, today, after getting out of the car, she couldn’t help but take the man’s arm instinctively as if declaring her ownership.
Hearing Yang Fei introduce Li Xuanyu, she reached out with a smile and said, "Hello, Sister Li. I saw you in the video yesterday, and Yang Fei mentioned you then, saying you are his friend."
Li Xuanyu smiled as she shook hands with Qin Yanyang, both women’s hands were very soft and delicate. Yang Fei watched those hands, but a cold sweat broke out on his back.
Qin Yanyang’s words had an implied meaning, as if she was deliberately hinting at something to herself.
Mama Mia, if there are no absolute necessities to hide, better not hide from the wife. Women tend to be petty and can hold grudges easily.
"Haha, we indeed were close friends overseas." Li Xuanyu laughed, "Then some things happened, and we suddenly lost contact. I never expected we’d have the fate to meet again in Divine Continent."
Qin Yanyang squinted slightly, smilingly looking at Li Xuanyu and said, "Indeed, it’s fate. Many people who lose contact after separation never meet again in their lifetimes. By the way, if you were such good friends, how come you didn’t keep in touch after you parted?"
Li Xuanyu glanced at Yang Fei with a smile that seemed to hint at an unspeakable secret between them and said, "Some things aren’t convenient to mention."
Qin Yanyang turned her head towards Yang Fei and smilingly said, "I don’t have many secrets with my husband, nothing that’s inconvenient to mention. I’ll just ask my husband later."
The two smiled and shook hands, chatting, while Yang Fei stood to the side, inexplicably nervous and breaking into a cold sweat.
Although he was a novice in romance, he could discern the competitive intent between the two women.
Zhang Long felt even more awkward.
He wished he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
Previously, when Yang Fei was waiting with Li Xuanyu for his wife, he worshipped Yang Fei, thinking that the women around Yang Fei were exceptionally outstanding and Yang Fei was incredible to be able to bring an outsider to meet his family.
He thought Yang Fei was the type of domineering man who could keep things stable at home while still having fun outside.
But unexpectedly, as soon as these two women met, it was like a red star colliding with Earth, fiercely competitive.
From the corner of his eye, Zhang Long caught sight of Yang Fei’s dilemma and couldn’t help feeling a bit of disdain.
Mr. Yang’s skills with women, compared to his martial arts prowess and impressive medical skills, were simply no match!
Seeing Yang Fei in trouble, Zhang Long, of course, wanted to relieve Yang Fei of his worries. He immediately coughed and said, "Mr. Yang, um, are we still waiting for someone else? If not, the food is ready. Shall we go to the private room and continue talking while eating?"
Yang Fei gave him an approving look and immediately said, "Yeah, right, I’m hungry. Let’s eat first and talk while eating."
As he spoke, he looked towards Qin Yanyang and Li Xuanyu and said, "Shall we go in?"
Both women smiled and nodded, very compliant with Yang Fei’s decision.
Once they entered the private room and sat down, Yang Fei cleverly started introducing dishes to Qin Yanyang and Li Xuanyu, trying hard to find topics of conversation to prevent these two women from clashing.
Qin Yanyang and Li Xuanyu both listened to Yang Fei’s various introductions with smiles. Seeing him run out of words after finishing introducing the dishes, they both secretly chuckled but still looked at him without saying a word.
Yang Fei broke into a cold sweat on his forehead.
He would rather face the oppression of a National Guardian Level by himself than eat in this kind of atmosphere.
This is too tough.
Thinking about it, he suddenly awakened.
I’m not two-timing, why do I have to be so nervous?
He gradually calmed down and boldly looked at Li Xuanyu, saying, "Sister Xuanyu, did you come to Binhai specifically to handle your nephew’s mess?"
Li Xuanyu smiled and nodded, "Yeah, that was the plan, but now that I’ve seen you, I’ve changed my mind."
Yang Fei coughed dryly, speechless inside.
Sister Xuanyu, can you let me go, please stop playing with me?
Li Xuanyu smiled and said, "I have decided to take over Li Xiaoji’s position in Divine Continent and develop the company here."
Yang Fei chuckled, "Sister Xuanyu is an all-around genius. With you in charge here, I believe your family’s business will get better and better."
Li Xuanyu said with a smile, "It’s not that easy. To develop the company here and even make a breakthrough, I still need your help."
Yang Fei became a bit uneasy, "That’s not possible, I don’t know anything, I can’t help you."
Li Xuanyu looked at Yang Fei with adoring, fervent eyes and said, "You can do it, and you’re the only one who can help me with this matter. If even you can’t, then no one in this world can."
Saying this, she turned her head to Qin Yanyang and said, "Miss Qin, you don’t know how outstanding your husband is, he..."
"I know."
Qin Yanyang interrupted Li Xuanyu.
Usually, she was very polite no matter who she was talking to, never interrupting others. But now, the other party was clearly challenging her authority, so she had to fight back.
"My husband is talented in both the literary and martial arts, especially his Medical Skill is unequaled in the world. He’s also so young, considered a top contender among his peers. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have fallen for him, wouldn’t have wanted to marry him at our first blind date meeting. Miss Li, I have good taste, right? And I was quick, wasn’t I?"
As Qin Yanyang spoke, she looked towards Yang Fei with eyes full of tenderness.
It was as if her eyes only had Yang Fei, as if Yang Fei was her whole world, that love and admiration completely expressed through her soft, tender eyes.
Yang Fei felt light and slightly numb.
’Tender as water’ must refer to Qin Yanyang’s current expression.
No wonder the old saying goes that a beauty’s tenderness is a hero’s grave, it’s absolutely true.
Li Xuanyu’s face still smiled, but her hand picked up the teacup and brought it to her lips, pretending to sip the tea to hide her inner annoyance.
This is infuriating!
Your judgement is indeed great, and you really were quick.
I’ve been watching this man for years overseas, planning to take it slow, but then the ’International Madman’ caused such a big change, leading to losing contact with Yang Fei for over a year.
If it weren’t for that, I would have had him long ago, what would you, a little girl, have to do with it?
Ugh, it’s killing me!
Back then, when he was seventeen or eighteen, I was too embarrassed to make a move, and now that he’s at his prime at twenty-three or twenty-four, someone else beat me to it.
The more Li Xuanyu thought about it, the more infuriated she became, gritting her teeth in frustration. Why didn’t she act decisively overseas back then—such regret.
