Chapter 272


    Chu Feng merely smiled in resignation. Sometimes he really did not know if Fenn had eyes or


    not; likewise, he did not understand how she could be so utterly blind to the obvious.


    Muqing was so exasperated her face turned red. Stamping her feet, she snapped, "Mom, you…


    you’re so unreasonable…"


    "Alright, we’d better head home now. Duo Duo is waiting for you, you know." Chu Feng was


    nonchnt about the entire matter. Tugging gently at Muqing’s hand, he turned to go. After all, it


    was pointless trying to exin anything to a woman like Fenn.


    Fenn merely rolled her eyes. When the pair went out the door, she abruptly shouted, "Chu Feng,


    let me tell you, my daughter is going to marry into thep of luxury, so the sooner you get yourself


    away from her, the better.


    "If that other Mr. Chu takes offense, I certainly can’t help you. He’s a famous personality and a well-


    known big shot, you know!"


    It was already evening by the time they left Muqing’s family home.


    Chu Feng made no mention of Fenn’s disdain and taunts or how he had been wronged today.


    Instead, heughed and talked as usual; he did not disy any signs of dissatisfaction or negative


    emotions.


    This also caused Muqing to feel even more conscience-stricken, and her self-recrimination


    increased. Her promotion to the position of Director in thepany, as well as her eldest uncle''s


    family withdrawing their purchase order and apologizing, were all thanks to Chu Feng building


    momentum for her in the background. All this had happened because of him.


    He was indeed her greatest hero, but he never received so much as a word of thanks or any


    respect from her own mother. In fact, Fenn was making things so difficult and ridiculous that even


    Muqing, her very own flesh and blood, could not tolerate it.


    Chu Feng has truly given so much and sacrificed such a great deal for me. How can I ever repay


    him?


    Muqing’s lovely eyes glistened; inwardly she was experiencing immense inner turmoil, and her


    thoughts weighed heavily on her mind.

    If she really were to think it over carefully, it seemed to her that ever since she had met Chu Feng,


    he was always quietly in the background, lending support whenever she or Duo Duo encountered


    problems in life. Gradually, without her realizing it, Chu Feng had be an indispensable part of


    her life.


    Furthermore, Zhou Lie and his wife Minn had showered her with so much love and care that she


    truly experienced what it was like to have a warm, loving home.


    Don’t tell me the only way to repay Chu Feng is to devote my life to him and be his wife?


    Muqing kept turning the jade bracelet round and round on her fair wrist, her thoughts whirling


    around in her head without stopping. Her pretty face was scarlet and burning hot; she felt both shy


    and anxious.


    "Muqing, why is your face so red?" Chu Feng was startled. Quickly, he rested his hand against


    Muqing’s smooth face, then touched her forehead.


    "You don’t have a fever either, so why is your face as red as a baboon’s butt?"


    "You’re the baboon’s butt, you rascal! You and your entire family!"


    Muqing huffily pushed Chu Feng’s intrusive hand away and red at him in irritation, before


    flouncing off.


    "Ignorant wretch, no wonder you’re still single."


    Chu Feng was left wondering as he stared after the angry woman who had just stalked off. Not only


    was he at a loss, but he was also bereft of speech.


    Why on earth did she get angry all of a sudden? He wondered, perplexed. It’s impossible to


    understand a woman’s mind.


    Half an hourter, Chu Feng and Muqing finally arrived back at Haitang Garden Mansion. Now


    that they were in their own home, they were able to fully rx.


    "Daddy!"


    Barefooted, Duo Duo dashed straight into Chu Feng’s arms. Assuming an air of grievance, she


    pouted, "Daddy, you’re finally home! I’ve really missed you…


    "Thest few days we’ve been either eating instant noodles or ordering take-out. I’m so hungry I’ve


    gone thin."


    Chu Feng’s expression was one of absolute adoration toward the little girl. Judging by her weight in


    his arms right now, he could not tell at all where she might possibly have lost any weight.


    Muqing eyed Duo Duo’s round little stomach and saw right through the young drama queen’s y-


    acting. In some irritation, she asked, "Aunt Muyu was taking care of you, wasn’t she? Why


    didn’t you ask her to cook something for you?"


    Duo Duo shook her head vigorously. "I… I''d rather eat what you cook, Mummy. Even if it''s hard to


    eat, at least no one''s died from eating your cooking yet."


    Chu Feng burst outughing.


    Muyu’s cooking could not even bepared with the unsanitary street food found in dubious areas


    of the city. Rather, it was an outright disaster.


    "Hmph. At least you acknowledge that your Mummy tries very hard…"


    Muqing quirked an eyebrow in a self-satisfied manner, then abruptly realized something. In a huff,


    she demanded, "You little rascal, is my cooking so difficult to stomach?"


    "It’s not difficult to stomach, Mummy. It’s extremely difficult to stomach." Duo Duo’s expression was


    one of pure innocence.


    As Muqing’s expression darkened and she snatched up a nearby feather duster, Duo Duo hastily


    burrowed her head into Chu Feng’s embraced and urged hurriedly, "Uh oh, Mummy’s on


    the warpath now. We’d better escape now, Daddy…"
