Chapter 92 - The Mayor
Feng Wu was crying “no” in her head and secretly begging them to leave. She really needed to start on that Nine Transformation Spirit Restoration Pill now…
Hence, the look on her face was rather conflicted.
Feng Xun took it as evidence that he had seen through Feng Wu and he gloated. “I was right. You do have a crush on our Boss Jun. You dishonest woman. Try to cover that up now!”
Feng Wu took a deep breath, clenched her fists, and tried her best to restrain herself.
Wiping his mouth clean, Feng Xun rose to his feet, went up to Feng Wu, and patted her on the shoulder. “Gosh, why are you so shy about it? Girls have crushes on Boss Jun all the time. You’d be an oddball if you didn’t. Moreover, you two are eng…”
” Ahem !” Jun Linyuan raise a fist to his mouth and cleared his throat.
Feng Xun took the hint right away. He turned and darted a glance at Jun Linyuan.
Very clever, Boss Jun! By not telling Feng Wu about the engagement, he had the option to marry her, but could still sign the annulment papers if he decided not to. He had the upper hand – it was brilliant!
Feng Wu had no choice but to plead with Feng Xun. “So… when are you guys leaving?”
Feng Xun glanced at the empty plates and realized that if they left now, he might never have another chance to have something this delicious again… No, he wouldn’t have it. He had to think of an excuse to stay!
Darting a contemptuous glance at Feng Wu, Feng Xun said, “Since you’re begging for us to stay, we’ll…”
Just then, footsteps came from outside.
The old steward of the Feng clan arrived. After looking at Feng Wu and Feng Yiran in turn… he went up to Feng Wu in the end and whispered something in her ear.
Before Feng Wu could say anything, Feng Xiaoqi cried out and jumped to his feet. “What? The mayor’s here?! He’s not making trouble for us again, is he?!”
Feng Xun frowned. “Isn’t Bi Yunfei the mayor of Northern Border City? Isn’t Old Bi a good-tempered chap? Why would he make things difficult for you?”
Feng Xiaoqi rolled his eyes. “Of course he’s nice to you. You’re a young lord! To us, he’s anything but nice. He’s been trying to marry my sister to that retarded son of his!”
“Xiaoqi!” Feng Wu chided.
“What?!” That displeased Feng Xun right away! Who would cook for him if little Feng Wu here was married off to some guy? Would he have to come all the way to the mayor’s manor if he wanted to enjoy Feng Wu’s cooking? That would be bestowing too big a favor on Bi Yunfei!
Feng Wu sighed inwardly.
She had thought that she could happily move on to her Nine Transformation Spirit Restoration Pill after the meal, but things just kept coming up and she couldn’t do anything to stop them… Had she known that things would turn out this way, Feng Wu would never have cooked in the first place.
Feng Wu waved at the steward. “Let the mayor know that we’re entertaining some respected guests here and this isn’t a good time for him to visit. Tell him to go back —”
Feng Yiran frowned and cut her off. “Feng Wu, you can’t just send the mayor away without consulting me!”
Feng Wu frowned at Feng Yiran.
Feng Yiran snorted. “I invited the honorable mayor of Northern Border City here myself. He’s paying this special visit because the crown prince is here. You can’t see the man even if you wanted to on any other day. How dare you refuse him!”
