Chapter 137 Who are You, Chu Feng?
Zhou Ying shook her head and they looked at each other. There were plenty of comforting words that Chu Feng wanted to say. However, he felt like there was a wall between them and there was no way they could communicate intimately anymore.
After five years of being apart, they were now practically strangers. In the end, Chu Feng could only tap Zhou Ying on the shoulder, then turned around to leave.
There was a layer of tears over Zhou Ying’s eyes. At that moment, she suddenly thought of something that happened when they were kids.
When they were young, everytime she got bullied, that skinny boy would fiercely wave a wooden stick around and beat up the kids till they ran away.
Of course, he himself would end up with wounds all over his body and a swollen face.
“Brother, there are so many of them and yet you still fought with them. You can always run, you know?”
“Hmph, they dared to bully my sister. Therefore, I would beat those as*holes up even if it cost me my life. I will avenge you.”
“Eh, brother, you are so silly. Hey brother, when I grow up in the future, will you marry me?”
“Huh? Then you better eat more and develop well. I like girls with more curves.”
“Y-You hooligan! Go and die! Hmph!”
Zhou Ying cried, but in between her tears, she suddenly broke out into a chuckle.
He always thought of her as a sister, from the beginning till the end.
But what about me? What has gotten into me these days?
He was the brother that always loved and protected her.
Zhou Ying watched as Chu Feng’s figure got smaller and smaller as he left. The image of his burly and thick body whirled through the tears in her eyes. Her heart ached and she felt guilty.
She parted her red lips. She wanted to call out to him, but her words were stuck in her throat and she could not bring herself to speak.
Am I still worthy enough to call you my brother?
Zhou Ying felt conflicted and guilty as she watched Chu Feng’s back. As he walked away, his outline grew smaller and smaller.
After tending to Zhou Ying and Sun Mingxuan’s business, Chu Feng took Yun Muqing with him and left Golden Sands Night Club.
Along the way, Yun Muqing glanced at Chu Feng who was next to her, looking calm and peaceful; there was a conflicted and doubtful look in her beautiful eyes.
All this while, Chu Feng had a sort of mysterious air to him. After what happened on this day, she grew even more puzzled about him.
Although she wasn’t well informed of the underworld, as the previous daughter of the Yun family, she knew of the Chamber’s power.
No matter if one was the wealthy kid in that private room, who was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, or Sun Jianye, a municipal leader, as long as they came face to face with Ma Sanyuan of the Chamber, they had to bow their heads and submit to him.
However, those people from the Chamber, who were very powerful, would actually kiss Chu Feng’s ring, and even kowtow and admit their sins in front of him, as if they were worshiping a god?
“Chu Feng, who are you, really? How many more secrets are you keeping from me?” Yun Muqing asked as she looked at Chu Feng and she bit her red lips.
The queen of Happy Valley, Heather’s respect for him could be explained away with him being her ‘savior’.
But Ma Sanyuan of the Chamber had been ruling Jiangling for twenty years. How would one explain that?
Chu Feng replied calmly, “Muqing, don’t you worry yourself with my identity. All you need to know is that as long as I’m around, I will not let harm befall upon Duo Duo and you. I will protect both of you, so that you will be safe forever.”
At that moment, Yun Muqing felt a warmth in her heart. She was touched and knew better than to ask any more questions. So, she nodded slightly. “Alright.”
Both of them strolled along the path under the starry sky. The breeze was cool.
“Zhou Ying is your sister?” Yun Muqing asked.
“Yes.” Chu Feng nodded. “She is the daughter of my adopted father. We grew up together.”
However, now… things have changed. Likewise, the human heart could change too.
Yun Muqing pouted her little mouth and said with palpable jealousy, “So you’ve known each other since childhood. You two were innocent playmates.”
Chu Feng laughed but did not reply. Instead, he slowly reached for Yun Muqing’s soft little hand.
They locked fingers and it was like a shot of electricity had traveled from Yun Muqing’s palm throughout her body through all her bones and limbs. She couldn’t help but shiver and her cheeks blushed. Soon, her whole pretty face was red.
However, this time, she didn’t reject him. Instead, she bowed her head and let Chu Feng’s large hand grip her fair hands tightly.
The stars were shining in the sky, whereas lights were turned on in the houses along the road, lighting up the night.
The autumn breeze blew over, bringing with it a cool sensation. Both of them walked along silently as they held hands, enjoying the warmth of each other’s palms and feeling each other’s heartbeats.
As they walked, they got further and further away.
Then, at this moment, a Maybach car stopped there—it was Ma Sanyuan and his men, waiting there for Chu Feng. When they caught sight of him, they shouted respectfully, “Mr. Chu!”
