Chapter 88 - Various Thoughts Seeking Recommendations and Favorites

Bai Xueling struck Ye Chenfeng with a slap before he could react.Zhou Ting watched in disbelief, her hand covering the crimson imprint of five fingers on her cheek, and asked resentfully, “Xueling, why, why would you…”

After the incident, Bai Xueling began to feel some regret.

She had treated Zhao Wanting like a sister.

Zhou Ting had just insulted Zhao Wanting, which caused her to lose control of her emotions and impulsively slapped her.

“We’re no longer friends, nor are we sisters anymore,” Bai Xueling said, her teeth slightly biting her lip, making it clear that between Zhou Ting and Zhao Wanting, she had chosen to stand by the latter.

The slap from Bai Xueling actually changed Ye Chenfeng’s opinion of her; he hadn’t expected this young lady to have such an endearing quality!

Zhou Ting felt the scorching gazes of those present, which were even more distressing than the pain on her cheek.

She turned and ran downstairs, not stopping until she was out of the Elegant Pavilion Hotel.

Then, she threw her handbag violently to the ground and stomped on it with the heel of her high heel, smashing the leather bag to bits.

Pulling out a compact mirror from her pocket, Zhou Ting looked at the bright red handprint on her cheek in the mirror, her eyes filling with bitter resentment.

She thought to herself, “Bai Xueling, I, Zhou Ting, will one day get even with you for everything tonight.

I will make you kneel before me and apologize.”

The departure of Zhou Ting allowed the second-floor hall of the Elegant Pavilion Hotel to return to normalcy.

Apart from Fang Nan Xiang, who had a rough idea of what had happened because he was closer to the incident, everyone else was clueless.

However, the charity event had to continue, and soon the guests’ attention was diverted elsewhere, except for some young heirs greedily eyeing Bai Xueling and Zhao Wanting.

“Young Master Ye, I’ll go accompany the chairman to greet the guests now,” Fang Nan Xiang said, knowing that it wasn’t appropriate for him to intervene in the affairs of the younger generation.

Moreover, now that he was following Ye Chenfeng, it was even less appropriate for him to stay.

After Fang Nan Xiang left, Ye Chenfeng, Zhao Wanting, and Bai Xueling exchanged glances, creating an extremely awkward atmosphere.

Zhao Wanting, with her head lowered and speaking in a tiny voice, said, “I’m going to the restroom.”

Ye Chenfeng was aware that this matter had hurt Zhao Wanting, but now was not the time for explanations.

He took a glass of red wine from a passing waiter and found a quiet corner to sit down in.

Seeing Ye Chenfeng leave without a word, Bai Xueling felt infuriated.

Had she ever experienced such cold treatment from a man before?

Didn’t men in Capital City greet her with smiling faces?

Then she remembered what had happened in the medical equipment store in Capital City and how Ye Chenfeng had kissed Wu Xiaofei in front of her, and she felt even worse.

After much hesitation, she approached Ye Chenfeng and sat down next to him, asking, “Are you doing this to get my attention?

Well, you’ve succeeded.

But Wanting is my good sister, so please, leave her alone.”

Ye Chenfeng sipped his red wine casually, glancing indifferently at the woman in front of him, shook his head and said, “Beauty without brains, truly beauty without brains.

Your imagination sure is rich.

But I’m not as idle as you are, don’t think every man in the world has to revolve around you.”

“You, you—” Bai Xueling was momentarily at a loss for words.

The man in front of her, Ye Chenfeng, didn’t seem to be a panic attack patient at all.

Could everything Wanting said be true?

Was Ye Chenfeng not only a Divine Doctor but also a skilled master?

Even Bai Xueling found the idea laughable.

If Ye Chenfeng was really so powerful, where did his reputation as the fool of Capital City come from?

Maybe Ye Chenfeng in front of her had simply recovered from his panic disorder.

Gently shaking the wine glass in his hand, Ye Chenfeng spoke with a touch of apology, “I misspoke earlier, the worst you could be is brainless, but having a big chest is entirely unrelated to you.”

Ye Chenfeng carefully stared at Bai Xueling’s chest and continued, “Flat as an airport, a flat airport indeed!”

Now Bai Xueling was truly angered.

The last time they had met in Capital City, Ye Chenfeng had called her a “washing board,” and now she had become an “airport.” Which woman liked to hear such words?

Watching Ye Chenfeng’s nonchalant demeanor and thinking back to his frivolous past, Bai Xueling instead calmed down.

She was certain that all of these actions were designed to catch her attention, so she wasn’t going to fall for it!

She steadied her emotions and said, “Ye Chenfeng, our marriage contract…”

Before she could finish, Ye Chenfeng interrupted her, “Rest assured, there is no affection between us.

I’ll find some time to ask my grandfather to call off this engagement, so soon nobody will mock you for having an idiot fiancé, nor will they say a fine flower is stuck on cow dung.”

Ye Chenfeng now felt a headache whenever it came to women’s issues—Zhao Wanting and Tang Xin’s situations were still unresolved!

As for his engagement with Bai Xueling, he had never taken it seriously from the start to finish.

“What are you saying?

You’re willing to actively call off the engagement?” Bai Xueling asked in confusion, her beautiful eyes not leaving Ye Chenfeng’s face for even a second, as if trying to detect some flaw in the expression changes on his face.

However, all she saw was indifference and nonchalance.

At that moment, Bai Xueling truly couldn’t understand what this man in front of her was thinking.

Hadn’t she always been considering how to cancel the engagement?

So why couldn’t she feel happy about it now?

“What?

Are you so happy that you’re at a loss for words? ɪꜰ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀɴᴛ ᴛᴏ ʀᴇᴀᴅ ᴍᴏʀᴇ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs, ᴘʟᴇᴀsᴇ ᴠɪsɪᴛ novᴇl(ꜰ)ire.ɴet

The greatest virtue of Ye Chenfeng is self-awareness; I’m certainly not a match for the number one beauty of Capital City!” Ye Chenfeng said with ease, his tone not reflecting the slightest bit of inferiority!

In the restroom.

Zhao Wanting looked at herself in the mirror, tears continuously falling down her cheeks as she stuttered, “Why?

Why?

Why is he Xueling’s fiancé?

Does fate really love to play with people this much?”

Her mind replayed her brief time spent with Ye Chenfeng and how his appearance had averted many disasters for the Zhaos.

It was then she realized that at some point, Ye Chenfeng had left an indelible mark in her heart.

She still remembered that day, when she was in utter despair and believed she was going to be defiled by Wan Kai.

Like a knight in shining armor, Ye Chenfeng appeared just in time, and in that situation, she willingly gave her virginity to Ye Chenfeng.

She had not planned to hold him responsible, and Ye Chenfeng was a man who took responsibility.

But now, just when she was full of expectancy for the future, all her hopes were shattered by this sudden news—Ye Chenfeng was Bai Xueling’s fiancé.
