Chapter 52 - Hypnosis

“If you’re willing, I’ll take responsibility for you,” Ye Chenfeng finally spoke what was in his heart.With her cheeks flushed and her head lowered, Zhao Wanting’s heart contracted sharply, filled with an uncontrollable joy.

At heart, she was a very traditional woman.

She had given her first time to Ye Chenfeng, and even though it happened under such circumstances, deep down she yearned to be his woman.

Her beautiful eyes misted over, and Zhao Wanting’s cheeks grew even redder as she asked softly, “Are you being sincere?

I don’t need anyone’s pity.

Besides, just now I was the one who asked you to…”

Having already been the most intimate with each other, Ye Chenfeng no longer cared about the details and showed her his intentions with actions, pulling her into his embrace.

When Ye Chenfeng suddenly pulled her into his arms, Zhao Wanting felt her heart fluttering like a frightened deer.

As she leaned her face against Ye Chenfeng’s sturdy chest, listening to his strong and powerful heartbeat, she felt very secure and wished she could sleep there forever against his chest.

“Chenfeng, do you really like me?” Zhao Wanting lifted her head to ask Ye Chenfeng.

Women are indeed a strange creature; no matter what, men can never truly guess what they are thinking.

It’s like the joke where in the middle of “exercising,” the woman unexpectedly asks to stop and inquires if the man likes her.

Doesn’t that just put us men in an awkward position?

In his past life, Ye Chenfeng often assumed many different roles while carrying out missions for his country, playacting with various types of women and even “exercising” was part of the routine.

According to Ye Chenfeng, it was all to complete the mission.

Therefore, through his interactions with all kinds of women, he had gained some understanding of them—not that he considered himself a Casanova, but it was certainly better than those men with no experience at all.

“What do you think?” Ye Chenfeng chose not to answer directly, instead whispering a few words in Zhao Wanting’s ear.

At his response, Zhao Wanting huffed indignantly, “I knew it.

No man is good.

All you ever think about is that sort of thing.”

“Wanting, aren’t you wronging me?

I was answering your question.

You should know the answer by now, right?

If it’s still not clear, we can explore it further,” Ye Chenfeng said with a mischievous smile.

Honestly, he couldn’t say he loved or didn’t love Zhao Wanting; he just felt a liking for her.

Now that he had unexpectedly received her first time under such circumstances, it truly was a surprise within a surprise.

“I don’t want to anymore!” Zhao Wanting quickly struggled out of Ye Chenfeng’s embrace.

They say that a woman in love has an IQ of zero, and this seemed particularly true for Zhao Wanting, whom Ye Chenfeng had casually mollified!

After tidying up their disheveled clothes in the room, Ye Chenfeng and Zhao Wanting went downstairs together.

All the people who had laid ambush in the Zhaos’ villa were dead, except for Wan Kai, who was left with half a life.

Ye Chenfeng, holding Wan Kai by the collar like a dead dog, threw him into the villa’s hall.

Zhao Qihua and Ding Yufen still had panicked expressions.

It seemed they hadn’t yet recovered from the incident.

Seeing Ye Chenfeng and Zhao Wanting come downstairs one after another, Ding Yufen quickly went to her daughter’s side, checked her over, and asked, “Wanting, are you okay?

Did that beast Wan Kai do anything to you?”

Zhao Wanting’s blush had not completely faded.

Upon hearing Ding Yufen’s question, she couldn’t help but recall the passionate moments she had shared with Ye Chenfeng in the bedroom, biting her lip shyly, she said, “Mom, I’m fine, thankfully Chenfeng arrived in time.” As she spoke, she cast a meaningful glance at Ye Chenfeng.

Caught up in their panic, Zhao Qihua and his wife completely missed the oddity in their daughter’s behavior, and profusely thanked Ye Chenfeng, “Mr.

Ye, you truly are our Zhao family’s benefactor!

From now on, if there is anything that Mr.

Ye needs, you just have to say the word, and I will never hesitate.”

“Mr.

Zhao, you don’t have to be so polite with me.

From now on, I will call you uncle!

And you don’t have to call me Mr.

Ye anymore either, just calling me Chenfeng is fine.

The title Mr.

Ye always felt awkward to me.” Ye Chenfeng said.

After all, he had taken advantage of their daughter, and in name, he was already Zhao Qihua’s son-in-law.

It just didn’t seem right to have his father-in-law address him so respectfully as Mr.

Ye. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ ɴovᴇl(ꜰ)ir(e).nᴇt

“Alright, Chenfeng, then I, Zhao uncle, won’t stand on ceremony with you either.” Zhao Qihua also felt that calling Ye Chenfeng as ‘Mr.’ aged him unnecessarily.

Standing to the side, Fang Nanxiang had already learned of the affair between Ye Chenfeng and Zhao Wanting.

He could tell that Zhao Wanting was not displeased in the slightest.

Instead, her demeanor showed the shyness of a young woman, and he was certain that the affection between Ye Chenfeng and Zhao Wanting was mutual.

But before this, when Fang Nanxiang had visited Ye Chenfeng’s villa, he had seen with his own eyes that Ye Chenfeng already had another woman.

He didn’t blow the cover off the secret, planning to have a private talk with Ye Chenfeng later, considering he always thought of Zhao Wanting as his own sister.

“Nan Xiang, call the police immediately, I must get to the bottom of this matter,” said Zhao Qihua.

“Uncle, wait a moment, let’s first understand the situation before proceeding,” said Ye Chenfeng.

In Huaxia Country, where the use of firearms was strictly prohibited, the fact that the opposition could deploy several snipers meant that their background must not be simple.

Even if they reported to the police now, it might not be of any use.

Ye Chenfeng, holding a cup of cold tea, poured it directly on Wan Kai’s face.

Wan Kai, still unconscious, suddenly opened his eyes, the pain in his lower body causing him to howl like a ghost.

Zhao Qihua and his wife, as well as Zhao Wanting, looked at the now conscious Wan Kai with blazing anger in their eyes, as if they couldn’t wait to flay his flesh and drink his blood.

“Wan Kai, you truly are a beast.

I trusted you so much, even planned to marry off my daughter to you.

I, Zhao Qihua, must have been blind,” Zhao Qihua seethed, his chest heaving with anger.

“If you want to suffer less, you’d better tell us everything about what happened today,” said Ye Chenfeng impatiently.

Wan Kai was the kind of person who feared death to the bone, but he would never reveal the secrets behind the scenes — he knew he couldn’t afford to offend the power backing him.

And out of fear of death, he knew that if he told the whole truth, his end would be especially gruesome, and anyone with even a slight connection to him would disappear from the world in short order.

So, no matter what, he couldn’t tell the truth!

Ye Chenfeng had expected this outcome and squatted down, concentrating his Soul Force in his right hand and gently waving it in front of Wan Kai’s eyes.

Wan Kai’s eyes instantly became dazed.

Ye Chenfeng was using a type of hypnosis, which could only be employed on people with weak willpower or those who had sustained serious injuries.

Anyone with slightly stronger willpower could not be hypnotized.

Given that Wan Kai was severely injured and had originally weak willpower which had crumbled, Ye Chenfeng effortlessly hypnotized him.
