Chapter 84
“They care more about their appearance because they can establish themselves in society and enjoy material benefits beyond ordinary people, relying solely on their face and figure.”
“If their beauty fades, their fate might be even worse than that of a neglected wife.”
“In fact, most mistresses and lovers don’t end well, and even fewer rise to a significant status.”
Wang Tie had a moment of realization, “Brother Feng makes sense, I understand now.”
“Let’s do it tomorrow. I’ll bring the list in the afternoon when I go to see Feng Ze, and you can secretly deliver the gift to Secretary Lan,” Yi Feng said with a smile.
Wang Tie scratched his head, grinning, “Okay, Brother Feng, I’ll handle it!”
Yi Feng checked the time on his phone; it was almost 1 AM, “It’s already 1 AM, let’s go back and rest.”
He extinguished his cigarette in the ashtray and left the teahouse with Wang Tie.
Returning home, Yi Feng, drunk, went straight to bed without washing up.
He didn’t know how long he had slept when he was woken up by noise from outside.
Groggily, he opened his eyes to see sunlight streaming through the window, indicating it was no longer early morning.
Checking his phone, he was shocked to find it was already 11 AM.
“Ah, my head hurts!”
A throbbing pain hit him, a common aftermath of drinking too much.
He patted his forehead and massaged his temples.
Waking up after drinking was always the worst.
Who was making noise outside?
Could it be his dad was back?
“Are you awake yet, stinky Feng?” Gu Maxi’s crisp voice came from outside.
Yi Feng’s eyes darted around, and he continued to lie in bed, pretending to be asleep.
After a while, footsteps approached.
The door creaked open, and Gu Muxi entered with a broom.
“Huh? Still not awake?”
“I thought you were up!”
“Really, all you do is smoke and drink!” Gu Muxi complained, hands on her hips, pouting at Yi Feng on the bed.
“Why does mom always make me clean up?”
“Does stinky Yi Feng have no hands or feet?”
“Forget it, he’s always drunk and useless!”
As Gu Muxi grumbled, she began cleaning Yi Feng’s room.
The room was filled with the smell of cigarettes and alcohol, disgusting!
“Maybe I should just throw him out on the street!”
After some thought, she decided against it, deeming it too dangerous, and planned to wipe his face later.
Meanwhile, Yi Feng secretly opened his eyes a bit to watch Gu Muxi sweeping the floor.
From behind, her perfect figure was accentuated by tight jeans and a white shirt, her long black hair cascading down.
Gu Muxi doing chores? How kind of her.
Yi Feng was puzzled.
Suddenly, Gu Muxi turned around, and Yi Feng quickly shut his eyes again.
“So much noise and still asleep? Must be really drunk,” Gu Muxi mumbled, disposing of the trash before returning with a towel.
Yi Feng, half-awake, recognized his towel.
Gu Muxi sat beside him.
A unique scent immediately enveloped him.
Yi Feng secretly rejoiced, “Little Xixi smells so good!”
Then, Gu Muxi began wiping his face with the towel.
The cold towel on his face made Yi Feng shiver.
“Gu Muxi, are you trying to freeze me to death?”
But… he was fully awake now.
“Huh? Still not awake? Sleeping like the dead?”
“Wake up, lazy Yi!” Gu Muxi shouted at him.
Yi Feng kept his eyes closed, unresponsive.
Gu Muxi, scheming, thought, “He’s still pretending? I don’t believe it.”
She then devised a plan.
“Oh, I’ll check the computer.” Gu Muxi stood up, casually tossing the towel over Yi Feng’s face, covering his nose and mouth.
Yi Feng suddenly couldn’t breathe.
“Damn, is this girl trying to murder her husband?”
He couldn’t help but pull the towel away.
But then, his eyes met Gu Muxi”s.
She stood by the bed, arms crossed, staring coldly at him.
“Hehe, well, well, Yi Feng, so you were pretending to sleep!”
Yi Feng awkwardly smiled, “Morning, Gu Muxi!”
Gu Muxi glared, hands on hips, “Morning? It’s way past morning, Yi Feng!”
“Huh? Who’s past morning?”
Gu Muxi: “…”
“Get up already!”
“Gu Muxi, can’t you let me wake up slowly? I don’t have that much energy!”
“No way, what slow wake-up? Can’t you be a bit more energetic?”
“I’d love to, but my body won’t allow it!”
“Ha, who told you to drink so much? Serves you right now!”
“I can’t help it, it’s the way of the world. Understand me a little.”
“No excuses, hurry up.”
“Gu Muxi, can’t I take it slow?”
Gu Muxi cracked her knuckles menacingly, “If you don’t want to get up, I can help.”
“No, no, I’m up, okay?”
“I warn you, a gentleman uses his words, not his hands!” Yi Feng quickly got out of bed.
Gu Muxi proudly lifted her chin, “Use my words? You think you deserve that?”
Yi Feng grinned, “Of course, talking is always better than fighting.”
“Ha, if I start talking, you’d be close to breaking down.”
Yi Feng eyed her lips, nodding seriously, “Indeed, I’d surely be defeated.”
Gu Muxi rolled her eyes, “Get up, go take a shower, you reek of smoke and alcohol!”
“Hehe, okay, wait for me.”
Yi Feng got up, grabbed clothes from the closet, and dashed to the bathroom.
Inside, he whistled cheerfully while showering.
Just as he finished washing his hair and reached for a towel, he realized it was missing.
Then he remembered, Gu Muxi had taken it to his room.
Yi Feng cracked the bathroom door open slightly and called out.
“Gu Muxi, can you bring me my towel?”
“Stinky Yi Feng, you shower without a towel?”
“Uh… I forgot, okay? Help me out.”
“Such a hassle.”
Despite her complaints, Gu Muxi fetched his towel.
Approaching the bathroom door, she saw Yi Feng had only left a tiny crack, too small to pass the towel through.
“Hey, hey, stinky Feng, what are you doing? How am I supposed to give this to you with such a small opening?” Gu Muxi glared at him.
Yi Feng chuckled, “I was just worried about accidentally exposing myself and scaring you.”
He reached out through the crack for the towel.
Gu Muxi scoffed, “Scare me? There’s not much in this world that can do that.”
“Besides, we’ve seen each other naked as kids. I know every mole on your body!”
