She sat down on thewn and ced her fair wrists under her chin. She sighed quietly. “I should
have left Duo Duo there with them so she can help me by spying on them.” Then, Yun Muqing
snorted angrily. “Duo Duo, that silly girl! How can she be so insensitive? She called Heather so
dearly by ‘Miss Heather’ when she’s not even that close to me, her own mother! Heather is just a
few years younger than me, but Duo Duo called her ‘Miss’! And Chu Feng, that moron, actually
looked at Heather 26 times, whereas he just looked at me and Duo Duo for a total of 17 times only!”
Out of jealousy, Yun Muqing mumbled endlessly on her own. While touching her fair and soft face,
suddenly, she was startled by an idea. For the first time in her life, she felt threatened by a young
lady like Heather. Perhaps, I’ve grown old and lost my charm?
At the same time, in the president’s office at the top of a businessmercial center in Happy
Valley, Chu Feng and Heather were sitting on an authentic leather couch which was air-freighted
from Italy. They looked out through the windows; outside the windows, there were tall and
magnificent buildings and beyond the buildings, mountain ranges surrounded the city. Almost the
entire scenery of Jiangling could be seen from the office.
An old gentleman, who was dressed like a butler serving a Western noble family, was standing
straight and obediently at a corner in the office. He wore a tuxedo and his silver hair wasbed
meticulously. The elderly man looked at Chu Feng in arrogance and disdain—he disliked Chu Feng.
The man was Old Henry, Heather’s family butler. He was the Senior Vice President of Happy Valley
Group, a powerful man indeed. He usually acquainted himself with prominent billionaires, but now,
he was ordered to serve tea to Chu Feng, a youngd in his twenties. He wondered what his
mistress, Heather, was thinking about when she told him to serve Chu Feng.
“There’s an old saying that goes, ‘Try to ascend the mountain’s crest; it dwarfs all peaks under our
feet’. [1] It means the higher you stand, the wider your horizon will be,” Chu Feng said while looking
at the view outside. “Almost the entire Jiangling can be seen from your office here. If you stay here
all day with a view like this, I’m not surprised that you can build the Happy Valley business empire
worth a market price of two hundred billion USD within such a short period of time.”
Arrogance crossed Old Henry’s face when he heard Chu Feng’s words. He was very proud of his
mistress. Miss Heather was the most talenteddy, who has achieved an extraordinary sess
iparable in the whole Western world.
On the other hand, Heather waved her hand and said politely, “My Lord, you’re too much. No matter
how high we stand and how far we look, we’re still in Jiangling. But you are different, my Lord, you
are a great man, much like a mighty dragon which glides through the sky and watches us from
above, as though the whole world is under your feet.”
Chu Feng picked up his tea cup and sighed. “Well, it’s not always fun to be high above the sky
alone. It’s better to stay on earth where you feel livelier being surrounded by people. It’s less lonely
too.”
“That’s why you decided to retire and settle down with a quiet married life?” Heather nced at Chu
Feng and said quietly, “Besides, I think your wife has a prejudice against me. She doesn’t seem to
like me very much.” She sighed.
A woman’s instinct was funny sometimes. Heather could distinctly feel Yun Muqing’s hostility and
resentment toward her, even though thetter kept smiling at her. This had made Heather feel
rather awkward and nervous whenever Yun Muqing was around.
“That’s because you are too beautiful. Besides, you are a perfect girlfriend which every guy dreamt
of having, of course she’ll feel threatened by your existence! She’s afraid that you might steal my
heart.” Chu Feng smiled. He knew Yun Muqing very well and knew that she was jealous of him and
Heather. But still, Chu Feng was happy; he was d that Yun Muqing would be jealous of him and
another girl. This showed that their rtionship had improved and they started to be more like
a real couple.
Chu Feng was just joking around with Heather when he said those words. But Heather’s expression
changed abruptly when she heard him. She quickly straightened her posture and rified seriously,
“My Lord, I’ve always admired you as a great man. I do not have any inappropriate thoughts about
you and I certainly do not have any intentions to ruin your family. I hope you’ll understand my
loyalty, my Lord.” Heather’s blue eyes flickered with tenderness. “I just want to look at you from afar.
That’s all I’ve wished to do.”
Old Henry, who stood at the corner, stared at Heather in disbelief with his bulging eyes and his jaws
almost dropped to the ground. Oh my god, is she still the cold, proud and demanding Miss Heather
that I know? Miss Heather is such an exceptionaldy. With just a simple wave of her hand, she can
have anyone she likes—anyone ranging from nobles, millionaires or even young and talented men
will fall head over heels for her. Yet, the young and demanding mistress was unimpressed by any of
those pursuers. But now, she is willing to degrade herself and be a ‘backup’ for this young
man—a ‘backup’ that will just look at him from a distance and support him in silence? Suddenly, Old
Henry felt his head was spinning with confusion and that his mistress had gonepletely mad.
What has the young man done to my mistress?
