Quenching

"Xing Songfeng, I'm warning you, the young master and Jin Xixing are plotting to bring about your marriage with Qi Wanyun. Don't get any funny ideas."

"You're overthinking it. I just want to marry Kong Yanfei, I really, really want to marry her."

Wu Haofeng glanced around warily and warned in a low voice.

"Keep that thought to yourself forever. Never dream of even a single hair on Kong Yanfei's head."

******

Second Young Mistress, please come with me.

"The rooms on the first floor house bodyguards, a cook, a driver, a nail technician..."

"Wait, why do nail technicians live at home all the time?"

"Madam likes manicures, so it would be more convenient to have her come up and get her nails done."

Following the servant's directions, Qi Wanyun arrived at the second floor and observed that there were four room doors on both the left and right sides. Facing each other were two filing cabinets, two desks, and two computers. Two servants stood up and smiled at Qi Wanyun.

Why are there people sitting outside these eight rooms?

"The room on the right, where people come and go, is your and the second young master's bedroom. Next to the bedroom is the second young master's study, which is connected to Wu Haofeng's study. Next to Wu Haofeng's study is his bedroom. There are two servants assigned to each of these four rooms."

"What are you assigning servants to do?"

"I don't know about that. Second Young Madam, is there anything else you don't understand?"

"Where's the room on the right? You haven't taken me to the third floor yet."

"The eldest son and his assistant live on the right. The third floor is the master and mistress's room. If you want to go there or they call you, the servants at the door of their bedroom or study will take you there."

Qi Wanyun noticed out of the corner of her eye that the servant had straightened up slightly, so she quickly changed her expression, smiled gently, and said with concern.

"We've been talking for so long, and I still don't know your name!"

The servant walked to the window, opened it, pointed to the villa outside, and began to speak.

"Second Young Mistress, I usually live outside."

Qi Wanyun reached out and took the servant's arm, speaking softly.

"Little sister, I'm new here and there's still a lot I don't know. How about we exchange contact information? If there's anything I don't understand, please teach me. I'll remember you."

"Second Young Mistress, I like you very much and would like to exchange contact information with you. However, unless it is an emergency, we servants need Mr. Wu Haofeng's permission to exchange contact information with you first."

The servant smiled, withdrew his hand, nodded politely to Qi Wanyun, and turned to leave.

Qi Wanyun gripped her phone, her smile fading. She really wanted to drag Xing Songfeng over right now and give him a good beating. But for now, she had to hold back.

Qi Wanyun avoided the people coming and going in her new house, wanting to go in and take a look, when a gentle voice called out to her.

"Second Young Madam, if you want to see what the new house will look like after it's been decorated, you can come to Mr. Wu Haofeng's room. There are pictures on the coffee table in his room."

Qi Wanyun muttered to herself, but smiled gently.

"That's not a good idea! I'll go to Wu Haofeng's bedroom."

"Please don't mind. Mr. Wu Haofeng instructed that your new house with the second young master is being decorated. If you are a little tired from walking around, you can go to his room to rest first."

Qi Wanyun silently uttered the two words "Give the order" to herself, but still wore a smile on her face, speaking with understanding.

"it is good."

Qi Wanyun turned around, intending to leave casually, and pushed open a door. A servant immediately stopped her and reminded her.

"Second Young Madam, we cannot open Mr. Wu Haofeng's study without permission."

"Was Wu Haofeng's study locked? That's why I can't open it."

The servant answered calmly.

"Mr. Wu Haofeng doesn't usually lock his door. However, there are people on duty 24 hours a day. The corridors on both sides of his house are 40 meters long. When it's not busy, there are two people. When it's busy, there can be more than a dozen people sitting at the door."

"Heh, why don't you go into the study to work?"

"The servants in the study have their own tasks, which we do not know."

Qi Wanyun raised an eyebrow and walked towards Wu Haofeng's bedroom with a smile. As soon as she stepped into the bedroom, the strong aroma of black tea wafted towards her, and the retro gramophone was much better than the one she had bought herself.

Qi Wanyun's expression changed drastically. She angrily pulled out her phone, but before she could dial, she was already on the phone.

The servant's voice drifted from behind.

"Second Young Madam, would you like to take a look at your dressing room, dressing room, jewelry room, sachets..."

"Come on."

Before the servant could finish speaking, Qi Wanyun grabbed him and hurriedly left Wu Haofeng's bedroom.

******

As the sun set, Qi Wanyun, with her ear pressed against the wall, forcefully tugged at Xing Songfeng's arm, to which Xing Songfeng responded with an impatient taunt.

"Why don't you just push the door open and go in to take a look?"

Qi Wanyun's face turned cold as she pushed Xing Songfeng away, giving him a harsh scolding.

"I'm crazy, I pushed open Wu Haofeng's room door in the middle of the night."

"Then why were you eavesdropping? Besides, what could you possibly hear from just a study room away?"

“I didn’t hear anything, but I want to know…”

Qi Wanyun pouted and gestured for the servants in Xing Songfeng's study to return to their work. She then followed behind Xing Songfeng, dragging her feet as she walked towards the bedroom.

Closing the door, Xing Songfeng casually tossed out a remark without a care in the world.

"What could a man and a woman possibly do in a bedroom? If you want to confirm, I can go in and check to see how far things go."

Qi Wanyun frowned, pushed Xing Songfeng away hard, and complained angrily.

"You're talking nonsense all day long. How could you possibly go in and see something like this?"

Xing Songfeng thought to himself, "Outside, I can look however I want; it's no fun being so cautious at home."

Why doesn't Wu Haofeng date? Wouldn't it be better for him to find a proper girlfriend?

"He likes it, so what? Go to sleep."

Xing Songfeng lay down with Qi Wanyun in his arms, but Qi Wanyun pushed him away with one hand and said sternly.

"You've kept it from me again. You didn't tell me about your family situation before. Now I'm on my guard every day, afraid of saying or doing the wrong thing. You don't like me at all."

"I don't even like you. I've been doing everything I can to please you, just for a few photos. Last night I held up the roof for you under the stars all night, and it still wasn't enough. I...I..."

As Xing Songfeng spoke, he reached out and tugged at Qi Wanyun's pajamas.

Qi Wanyun pushed Xing Songfeng away and complained.

"This isn't an expression of love for me; it's just a sense of responsibility towards me."

"Okay, okay, okay, it's my responsibility. Come here, I love you now."

Xing Songfeng grabbed Qi Wanyun's wrist, and just as his lips were about to touch hers, Qi Wanyun kicked him off the bed. Xing Songfeng rolled back onto the bed, and Qi Wanyun turned around and kicked him, her piercing gaze shooting over him. Xing Songfeng obediently hugged his pillow and pulled the blanket over his head.

Qi Wanyun woke up comfortably in the soft sunlight, tidied her makeup, and excitedly approached Wu Haofeng.

"Wu Haofeng, Xing Songfeng and I would like to invite you to dinner tonight. Do you have time?"

Wu Haofeng glanced at Xing Songfeng, who subtly gave him a look in return.
