"Qingyi..." Lin Feng stared at Xue Qingyi with a sowhat hazy gaze and laughed self-deprecatingly. "Did you co to gloat?"
Deep down, Lin Feng always regarded Xue Qingyi as one of his closest companions, so he had no intention of blaming her.
Xue Qingyi looked at Lin Feng and the twenty-odd liquor bottles before him, a complicated expression in her beautiful eyes. "I only said that deliberately earlier to test your reaction," she said. "Just as I thought, when you're feeling down, you resort to drowning your sorrows in alcohol..."
Lin Feng was stunned. Does this girl an she believes I am the forr White Wolf King, and she provoked intentionally earlier to further confirm my identity?
Damn! How did Qingyi learn to be so roundabout and subtle...
Lin Feng silently congratulated himself on his luck. It's a good thing Xue Qingyi arrived quickly. Although he was drinking to drown his sorrows, he was different from the Lin Feng of the past... This ti, he had been planning to find a woman to spend the night with to vent... While Lin Feng had no intention of being with Xue Qingyi, it wouldn't have been pleasant for her to witness such a scene!
In fact, Xue Qingyi wasn't feeling great at that mont, because an incredibly beautiful woman, Wu i, was sitting right beside Lin Feng.
"Lin Feng, aren't you going to introduce this beauty?" Wu i's expression wasn't pleasant either. A very insincere smile touched her lips as her sharp gaze swept over Xue Qingyi, who had just appeared and challenged her. Her voice was cold as she spoke.
Wu i's attitude didn't suggest a desire to get to know Xue Qingyi in depth; rather, it seed she wanted to gather more information about an enemy. Yes, although it was only their second eting, Wu i and Xue Qingyi had already identified each other as enemies.
This was a battle between won.
Hearing Wu i's tone and seeing the look in her eyes, Lin Feng imdiately felt a headache coming on. Why did Wu i have to clash with Qingyi...
"Ahem, allow to introduce you. This is Wu i, and this is Xue Qingyi. You are both my... good friends..." Lin Feng stamred slightly as he introduced the two beauties to each other. However, he quickly realized that information about both Wu i's and Xue Qingyi's identities was sensitive... so he didn't elaborate.
"Xue Qingyi... What a cliché na..." Wu i glanced at Xue Qingyi with a smile. "You just said you're the reason Lin Feng is upset. Do you still have the audacity to show your face in front of him? You certainly have thick skin..."
"Your na isn't exactly elegant either..." Xue Qingyi eyed Wu i coldly, her expression indifferent. "What happens between Lin Feng and is none of your concern. If you don't like the sight of , feel free to try and strike !"
"Don't... don't fight..." Startled by Xue Qingyi's words, Lin Feng hurriedly intervened.
He knew Xue Qingyi's Martial Arts techniques were lethal, designed to grievously injure or kill. If she truly fought Wu i, Wu i would likely be hurt.
However, Wu i was unaware of Xue Qingyi's formidable martial arts skills. Glancing at Xue Qingyi, who appeared slimr and less 'busty' than herself, Wu i scoffed, "I wouldn't stoop to hitting you; I'd hate to hurt you..."
Lin Feng listened, utterly speechless. Wu i really is confident in her abilities. Ah, ignorance is bliss...
Upon hearing Wu i's words, Xue Qingyi extended her right hand, raising a single, jade-like index finger towards Wu i, and said flatly, "One move!"
"What do you an?" Wu i asked instinctively, then understanding dawned. A trace of scorn crossed her face. "You're saying you can defeat in one move? Are you kidding? If anything, I could defeat you in one move!"
Hearing Wu i's reply, Xue Qingyi's expression suddenly turned serious. She glanced at Lin Feng and silently mouthed, "Cop?"
Lin Feng nodded discreetly at Xue Qingyi. So Wu i has already given herself away... The term 'defeat' or 'subdue' is commonly used by the police, whereas Xue Qingyi's 'one move' ant 'one move to kill'... That's terminology from the underworld rcenary community.
Xue Qingyi had guessed Wu i was an undercover cop and was confirming it with Lin Feng by mouthing the word.
Seeing Xue Qingyi mouth the question, Lin Feng had responded instinctively.
Seeing that Lin Feng could understand her mouthed words, Xue Qingyi's mood improved. Once she confird Wu i was an undercover cop, Xue Qingyi lost all interest in arguing further with her; after all, she was accustod to taking action, not bandying words.
Seeing Xue Qingyi no longer retort, Wu i smiled smugly. She must be scared... In the police force, I'm a combat champion in my unit. Why would I be afraid of a little slip of a girl like Xue Qingyi?
Xue Qingyi looked to be about eighteen or nineteen, and quite delicate. Wu i simply didn't believe she could be a combat expert.
"Lin Feng, shall we dance?" Wu i noticed the strange dynamic between Lin Feng and Xue Qingyi. But since she had already clashed with Xue Qingyi over Lin Feng, she naturally decided to press her advantage and pull Lin Feng away from Xue Qingyi.
The dance floor in the center of the small bar wasn't large. The earlier exotic dance performance had just concluded. Under the dim lights, several couples were dancing closely, a very intimate scene...
If Xue Qingyi hadn't been there, Lin Feng would have eagerly accepted Wu i's invitation to dance. What a perfect opportunity to get close to her!
However... with Xue Qingyi present, Lin Feng couldn't possibly ignore her. I neglected her for too long in the past. I feel rather guilty towards Qingyi!
"Wu i... I've had too much to drink, I'm not feeling very well... Let's not dance today," Lin Feng said, steeling himself. Refusing an invitation from such a stunner indeed required imnse courage.
Wu i's face suddenly turned deathly pale. She couldn't believe Lin Feng would reject her for this Xue Qingyi. Wu i never danced in small bars like this, especially not while wearing such a revealing club dress. Inviting Lin Feng to dance was practically an open invitation for sothing more intimate... Yet, she had been rejected...
A wave of sadness washed over Wu i. Perhaps Lin Feng only sees as a diversion during his mission, not taking seriously at all, let alone having any feelings for . All he feels for is carnal desire...
Is being with Lin Feng just a transaction? He helps complete my mission, and I satisfy his desires? If that's the case, why should I keep sticking around Lin Feng? Shouldn't I just let go, directly charm Long Shaotian, and complete my mission more quickly?
Her thoughts in a turmoil, Wu i's eyes filled with disappointnt. She said nothing more to Lin Feng, turned, and walked towards the bar's exit.
"Wu i..." Lin Feng called after her.
"Humph! Choose her or choose . Think about it yourself!" Wu i said coolly without turning back, then walked away gracefully.
Lin Feng was exasperated. He knew Wu i was upset, but he found it very difficult to abandon Xue Qingyi...
