Chapter 391: Chapter 392: Steel Straight Man Su Changfeng
"If you want to continue staying on Heaven Island, I won’t stop you. The longer you stay, the more days I can spend cuddling with you." The lady boss smiled as she wrapped her arms around Li Chen’s neck.
The room instantly became filled with ambiguity, but the room with Su Changfeng and Tang Qiulu was somewhat quiet.
Su Changfeng and Tang Qiulu lay on the bed, as if separated by a big river, neither invading the other’s space. In Su Changfeng’s eyes, this barrier seemed like a mountain, while for Tang Qiulu, it was just a veil.
Whenever night fell, Tang Qiulu would inexplicably become agitated and angry because she could not understand why Su Changfeng, such a passionate man, didn’t know how to do the things a man should do.
Now, Tang Qiulu already regarded Su Changfeng as her true husband, the one she would rely on for the rest of her life, therefore she was quite looking forward to taking the final step.
Currently, there had only been the process of marriage, without doing the things that married couples should do, and this last step was one Su Changfeng had not initiated. No matter how much she said, she was still a woman. How could she possibly be the one to take the initiative!
From Su Changfeng’s perspective, it was particularly simple. He didn’t want to do anything that would make Tang Qiulu uncomfortable, and in his view, Tang Qiulu wasn’t ready, so even if he found it unbearable, he had to suppress his impulses.
Caring too much was why Su Changfeng was particularly cautious.
"Are you asleep?" Tang Qiulu couldn’t help but ask Su Changfeng.
"Not yet." Su Changfeng replied.
Tang Qiulu knew that during morning runs and commutes, Su Changfeng had always been guarding her. However, there was something she didn’t understand: without hearing her snore, Su Changfeng couldn’t fall asleep. This had been the case every night for the past three years.
"Then I’ll go to sleep."
"Sleep now."
The conversation was incredibly awkward, so much so that Tang Qiulu wished she could kick Su Changfeng off the bed. Why in this world was there someone as clueless as Su Changfeng?
"I can’t sleep now." Tang Qiulu continued.
"Uh... should I talk to you?" Su Changfeng asked, somewhat perplexed.
"..."
The next morning, the auction group welcomed Heaven Island’s heavyweight figure, Jia Chenwen.
When Li Wenchen informed Cheng Siwen of this, Cheng Siwen, who was originally resting at the hotel, had to get up and freshen up, though he didn’t take the matter seriously. Previously, he didn’t have the courage to confront Jia Chenwen, but he didn’t care anymore this time.
Jia Chenwen waited in the group for nearly two hours before meeting Cheng Siwen, which made him particularly angry.
"Cheng Siwen, you seem to have grown quite a big ego these days, making me wait for you for two hours," Jia Chenwen said somewhat displeased.
"You came so suddenly and didn’t inform me in advance so I could prepare. I apologize for that," Cheng Siwen said.
From Cheng Siwen’s words, Jia Chenwen did not detect any apology, but rather a hint of disdain.
"Cheng Siwen, you seem to have forgotten how you sought my help when you planned to open a branch group on Heaven Island." Jia Chenwen said coldly.
"Over the years, I’ve never forgotten to thank you. Every year, I’ve given the Jia family a significant gift. Is there anything inappropriate in what I’ve done?" Cheng Siwen countered.
"My grandson was humiliated at your auction yesterday," Jia Chenwen scoffed coldly. "You need to give me an explanation, right?"
"Old Master Jia, he didn’t win anything at the auction. You’re coming demanding an explanation today, which seems a bit overbearing. You know the rules of the auction, don’t you? Whoever offers the most money wins the item. It’s supposed to be like that. Isn’t demanding an explanation from me unreasonable?" Cheng Siwen said somewhat unpleasantly.
"If you hadn’t aided that young man, would my grandson have lost the bid?" Jia Chenwen said with a cold expression.
Cheng Siwen helplessly shook his head and said, "They offered 3 billion. How could I have helped him? I didn’t help him pay. Even if I had given him money to attend the auction, the item was auctioned from my hand. Old Master Jia, doing it that way doesn’t mean I’m overstepping my bounds."
"Cheng Siwen, don’t assume I don’t know what you’re planning to do. Now that you have the ability, you’re trying to compete with our Jia family, aren’t you? Your group exists because we Jia family supported it. If I, Jia Chenwen, tell you to shut it down, what can you do?" Jia Chenwen said.
"Jia Chenwen, let me give you a piece of advice. Let this matter go. It’s beneficial for your Jia family as well. If you insist on taking it seriously, you’ll regret it in the future." Cheng Siwen said.
This made Jia Chenwen angry to the point of shaking. On Heaven Island, it was the first time someone dared to speak to him in such a tone, not to mention that it was a threat to him.
"Cheng Siwen, we shall see. If Jia Chenwen can’t ruin you, then I won’t be surnamed Jia." Jia Chenwen said fiercely, then stood up and left the group.
Cheng Siwen stood up, watching as Jia Chenwen’s car drove away, then murmured, "The Jia family has dominated Heaven Island for too long. It’s time for them to restrain themselves. The young master from the Ye family isn’t someone you can afford to offend."
Cheng Siwen valued Su Changfeng because he sensed an incredible strength in him, especially when he mentioned Shangguan Feihong hanging herself in front of him, the coldness on his face even made him a bit fearful.
It’s been quite a long time now; in Beijing, almost no one remembers Su Changfeng. Yet now, he was like a sleeping tiger, and perhaps only heaven knew how formidable he would be once awakened.
Just then, Cheng Siwen’s phone rang, and it was from an unmarked number, which left Cheng Siwen puzzled. His information was highly confidential, usually free from nuisance calls or spam messages, and an unmarked number like this would generally not get through to him.
"Who is it?" Cheng Siwen picked up the phone and asked.
"Don’t interfere in Su Changfeng’s affairs. I can give you what you want." The person on the other end said.
Cheng Siwen frowned and asked, "Who exactly are you?"
"You don’t need to know who I am. Just understand that with my influence in Beijing, I could destroy your auction group overnight."
Cheng Siwen’s heart sank instantly. If this person wasn’t joking, then he must have tremendous power in Beijing.
"You think I would believe you just because you say so?" Cheng Siwen said.
"Are you willing to try it, or do you want me to show you with concrete action? If you’re not afraid, let me show you just what it feels like." The voice on the line was filled with contempt.
Try?
