Feng Wanxuan’s delicate brows furrowed slightly. She did detest Xiao Tianlong, true enough, but she detested the man before her even more.
Yet the other party was so utterly shameless now that she didn’t know how to handle it for the moment.
Facing a rogue and a scoundrel, she indeed felt somewhat powerless.
“Wanxuan, if you just agree to have dinner with me tonight, I won’t make things difficult for you.”
“And don’t forget, if I hadn’t invited Elder Wu to treat the Grand Matriarch yesterday, your family’s matriarch might have been in real danger.”
Zhang Li threatened while trying to use a favor to persuade Feng Wanxuan.
Bai Jinghong found it somewhat strange. If following the original plot, it should have been Xiao Tianlong who healed the Grand Matriarch.
The successor of Ghost Gate Thirteen Needles should also have been there, giving his on-the-spot worship and then becoming his disciple, right?
The final outcome would naturally be Xiao Tianlong’s crooked smirk, Feng Wanxuan’s improved impression of him, Zhang Li unable to accept it, and then sending people to target Xiao Tianlong.
That was the original plot, wasn’t it?
How had it diverged so much now? What was going on?
Bai Jinghong truly didn’t understand some of these plot deviations from the original, but they didn’t seem harmful.
Xiao Tianlong was still a loser, and now he’d have trouble getting hard.
“You invited someone to treat my grandmother. I’m very grateful to you. But many things cannot be forced.”
“I already had someone pay you double for the money to hire that person. Why must you insist on making things difficult for me?”
Feng Wanxuan was also a relatively rational person. She spoke calmly and composedly, not overly agitated.
“Money? I have plenty of that stuff. I want you to date me, nothing else!”
“You know I’ve liked you for a long time. That useless live-in son-in-law of yours is worthless. He’s not worthy of you.”
So saying, Zhang Li started tugging at the car door handle.
At that moment, Bai Jinghong had already gotten out of his car. He walked over and patted Zhang Li on the shoulder.
“Who is it?!” Zhang Li roared in anger.
“I’m your daddy!” Without any wasted words, Bai Jinghong grabbed him by the hair and slammed his head directly against the rear window of one of the Mercedes-Benzes.
“Bang!”
“Bang!”
After five or six consecutive slams, the passenger window had shattered.
Zhang Li was already dazed and groggy.
Seeing this, those bodyguards rushed forward to attack Bai Jinghong.
Bai Jinghong swept his gaze over them. The bodyguards felt as if they’d fallen into an icy abyss, momentarily not daring to make a reckless move.
While Zhang Li was still somewhat conscious, Bai Jinghong continued gripping his hair. Using a voice only Zhang Li could hear, he whispered in his ear:
“This is what happens when you provoke my Big Brother Tianlong!”
“Remember this. From now on, when you see my Big Brother Xiao Tianlong in Su Province, kneel when you speak!”
As his words fell, Bai Jinghong dragged him to the rear passenger window and forcefully pressed his head against the glass.
Then he took a step back and suddenly lifted his foot. With a loud boom, he kicked Zhang Li directly in the head.
The heavy kick caused Zhang Li’s head to crash into the car window. It shattered instantly.
Half of Zhang Li’s body shot through the gap, hanging limply over the door by his waist.
Blood pooled on the ground, a terrifying sight.
All the bodyguards were trembling with fear.
The man before them was simply too ruthless.
Beating up Young Master Zhang so casually, and with such brutal methods.
“What are you looking at? Save him! Get him to a hospital!” Bai Jinghong lit a cigarette and gestured.
The bodyguards’ hearts were quivering. Saving the man was now the priority.
If Young Master Zhang died, they were finished.
So they pulled out the dazed Zhang Li, got in their cars, and then all the vehicles sped away, not daring to linger.
After Zhang Li and his men left, Bai Jinghong turned his gaze to the Bentley.
The Bentley’s driver hurriedly got out, pleading, “This Big Brother, we are from the Feng Family. Inside is our Eldest Miss. You… please be merciful!”
The driver was truly terrified by Bai Jinghong’s methods.
That was Zhang Li just now! Beaten up so casually. What if the man before him was a madman?
“Don’t be nervous. I’m just a great philanthropist who helps those in need when I see injustice!”
“I won’t harm you!”
Bai Jinghong revealed a faint smile.
The driver breathed a huge sigh of relief.
As for Feng Wanxuan, she was somewhat nervous.
From the moment Bai Jinghong appeared, her gaze hadn’t left him.
She didn’t know the man before her, but inexplicably, looking at him gave her a very… special feeling.
Although his methods were ruthless, Feng Wanxuan was not afraid.
“You’re Feng Wanxuan, right?”
Bai Jinghong looked at Feng Wanxuan and asked.
Feng Wanxuan, not knowing what was happening, nodded. “Mm…”
“Tsk, tsk, tsk, truly beautiful!”
Feng Wanxuan bit her lip and shrank back shyly.
Seeing her like this, Bai Jinghong didn’t stand on ceremony. He opened the car door directly and got in.
“You… what do you want?”
Feng Wanxuan was starting to get scared now. The other party had gotten into her car and was this close.
“I’m a straightforward person. Too lazy to beat around the bush.”
“You’re very beautiful. I’m very lustful. I’m going to kiss you!”
As his words fell, Bai Jinghong pulled Feng Wanxuan into his arms, caressing her lovely, moving face.
Feng Wanxuan was terrified and began struggling. “Let go of me, let go! Don’t do this!”
Bai Jinghong ignored her struggles, lifting her fair chin with his hand. He brought his lips to hers, pressing them against her captivating, tender red lips.
Feng Wanxuan’s beautiful eyes widened, small noises of protest coming from her mouth.
She beat against Bai Jinghong’s shoulders, trying to push him away.
But it was useless.
Instead, she felt the other’s tongue enter her mouth, stirring up a storm.
It was a sensation she had never experienced—tingling, numbing, making her heart race, making her afraid.
Feng Wanxuan, panicked, was about to bite down.
But she was too late; Bai Jinghong had already pulled away.
Bai Jinghong grinned, licking his lips. “Very sweet, very fragrant!”
Then he held Feng Wanxuan’s face, kissing her forehead, then the tip of her nose, and finally planting a kiss on her lips.
“Baby, until next time!”
With that, Bai Jinghong chuckled a couple of times, got out of the car, and walked towards his Ferrari.
In Feng Wanxuan’s daze, the fiery red silhouette of the Ferrari had already sped away.
Feng Wanxuan’s whole body trembled.
She had just been robbed of her first kiss, even a tongue kiss.
When had she ever experienced such a thing?
“El… Eldest Miss…” The driver, Uncle Wu, had witnessed the entire process, utterly dumbfounded.
“Uncle Wu, that matter just now…”
The driver, Uncle Wu, shook his head rapidly. “Did something happen just now? I don’t know!”
Feng Wanxuan said no more, simply nodding.
Her heart was thrown into chaos, completely thrown into chaos.
That feeling of being invaded had swept through her nerves.
The aura of that man just now, his voice and smile, seemed to have etched deeply into her mind.
His ruthlessness, his dominance, his overbearingness, and finally that gentleness—it was like a sequence one couldn’t help but replay.
Although she felt revulsion, the resistance in her heart hadn’t actually risen that much.
It was almost like: I’m not actually angry, but I must act very angry!
Meanwhile, Bai Jinghong, who had left, received a call on his phone.
It was an unfamiliar number!
Bai Jinghong answered, put it on speakerphone, and tossed it aside. “Who is it?”
“Young Master Bai, it’s me, Qi Tongwei!”
The voice on the phone was full of respect.
“Chief Qi, what’s up? Something you need?”
“It’s just that I heard you’ve arrived in Su Province. I thought I’d invite you out for a meal. Just some old friends, to welcome you with a reception!”
These old political hands in the system—meeting them had no downside.
But not now. He would wait until Xiao Tianlong’s forces started emerging.
“Next time. I just got to Su Province, plenty of matters still to attend to!” Bai Jinghong refused.
Qi Tongwei hurriedly said, “Of course, of course. Then just say the word whenever Young Master Bai has time. I’ll arrange someone to pick you up!”
“Fine!”
Bai Jinghong finished speaking and hung up directly.
