"Grandpa, then did you call me here for anything else?"
The old master let out a hearty laugh.
"Girl Feng, to be honest, when you were a kid, I made a deal with an old acquaintance. If you were a girl and his was a boy, then..."
The old master hesitated, stealing glances at Feng Yu to gauge her reaction.
"So you made a baby betrothal for me? Sorry, I don't recognize this betrothal. I'm already with Mr. Qiu."
Hearing Feng Yu's words, the old master let out a sigh. Clearly, he didn't want to force the issue.
"In that case, I respect your decision, girl Feng. Coincidentally, that young man is back today and will be staying at our place for a few months..."
Just as the old master finished speaking, the butler rushed in to announce.
"Sir, the young master of the Yi family has arrived."
Right after the butler's words, a tall and imposing man stepped in.
Feng Yu took a look and was slightly stunned. This man was incredibly handsome. His peach blossom eyes glistened with a hint of tears, and his tousled hair added to his charm. He looked like a playboy, but a rather good - looking one.
"Grandpa Wu, long time no see!" The man walked up to the old master and gave him a hug.
The old master was overjoyed.
"Girl Feng, this is Yi Chen, the one with whom you have a betrothal. Yi Chen, this is my granddaughter, Feng Yu."
The two locked eyes and sized each other up.
Feng Yu got up politely and extended her hand towards Yi Chen.
"Nice to meet you."
Yi Chen frowned slightly at the outstretched hand. The old master suddenly remembered something and was about to speak when Yi Chen firmly grasped Feng Yu's hand.
"This... Yi Chen..."
During the handshake, he was in a daze for a while.
Even the old master was surprised.
"Yi Chen, this time, you didn't have an allergic reaction?"
Hearing the old master's words, Yi Chen was also greatly shocked. He had suffered from a strange condition since childhood: he would always have an allergic reaction when touching girls, which was why he had never touched one before.
"I didn't expect that Little Yu has such a magical ability. She just cured my illness."
The old master beamed with joy and laughed, "Haha, that's why it's a betrothal made in the womb!"
Feng Yu didn't like the old master's words. After pulling back her hand, she said to the old master, "I still have some things to take care of. I'll leave first."
Then, without giving the old master any chance to stop her, she left.
"That girl is just like her mother. I don't know whether I should be happy or sad."
"Grandpa Wu, you should be happy. After all, you have such an outstanding granddaughter." Yi Chen said, smiling as he watched Feng Yu's departing back.
"You two have a baby betrothal. Get along well." The old master patted Yi Chen on the shoulder, clearly hinting at something.
"Kelly, any news recently? Have you found Mr. Qiu Chunlan?"
On the other end of the phone, Kelly sounded obviously disappointed and shook her head.
"No... Boss, that guy is so elusive. It's really hard to find him." Kelly was quite dejected. She had used a lot of resources but still couldn't find any trace of him.
Feng Yu was silent for a few seconds and then slowly said, "Okay, I see."
After hanging up the phone, Feng Yu pinched the bridge of her nose, lost in complex emotions.
"Hey, cutie." Yi Chen suddenly barged into Feng Yu's study. Feng Yu frowned, clearly dissatisfied.
"Didn't anyone ever tell you to knock before entering?" Feng Yu put down her pen.
Yi Chen didn't care about her words. He walked straight up to Feng Yu and reached out his hand. When his palm touched Feng Yu's, he exclaimed,
"I'm really okay!"
Feng Yu pinched the bridge of her nose again and looked at the man in front of her as if he were a fool.
"Can you please leave now?" Feng Yu pointed at the door and said coldly.
Yi Chen showed a hurt look and then looked at the desk. Without hesitation, he picked up the file on it.
Feng Yu gritted her teeth, her face darkening.
"Qiu... Chunlai?"
Hearing Yi Chen murmur the name, Feng Yu snatched the file back.
"Now, I'm asking you to leave right now."
Yi Chen remained unmoved. Instead, he smiled and said, "I didn't expect you were looking for this old guy."
Feng Yu was stunned. From his words, it seemed that they knew each other?
"Do you know each other?" Feng Yu's attitude improved a bit. Yi Chen immediately pinched Feng Yu's soft cheek.
"This attitude is much better."
Feng Yu was slightly taken aback and then slapped his hand away. "You! Are you crazy!"
After his hand left Feng Yu's face, Yi Chen involuntarily pinched the air.
This action infuriated Feng Yu. This man must be doing it on purpose.
"To be honest, I really am sick." Yi Chen suddenly turned serious.
"If you're sick, go get treated. Don't bother me." Feng Yu really couldn't stand this annoying guy.
Yi Chen curled up his lips and took a step closer to Feng Yu. "This illness can only be cured by one person, and that's you."
Feng Yu had nowhere to retreat and was pinned against the wall. Yi Chen gave her a wall - to - wall pin, and the two were extremely close.
Feng Yu gritted her teeth, clearly angry. In contrast, Yi Chen's eyes were full of playfulness as he looked at Feng Yu.
"Don't even think about doing anything to me. I'm so delicate that I can't take the stimulation of your silver needles." Yi Chen grabbed the hand that Feng Yu was holding the silver needle with.
No matter how hard Feng Yu struggled, Yi Chen just wouldn't let go.
This guy was as strong as an ox, yet he dared to say he was delicate!
"Bang - " Without hesitation, Feng Yu lifted her leg and kicked him between the legs.
"Hiss - " Yi Chen gasped in pain. He turned around and covered his crotch tightly, his face instantly turning deathly pale.
"You're really ruthless."
Feng Yu looked down at Yi Chen condescendingly.
"If you dare to do something like this again, I'll cripple you."
"You're really ruthless. You're different from other women. I like it." Yi Chen's voice was clearly trembling, but he still managed to tease.
Just as Feng Yu was about to strike again, she heard him suddenly say, "Don't you want to know where Qiu Chunlai is? I know."
Feng Yu's hand froze. She pulled back her hand and grabbed Yi Chen's collar. Yi Chen was lifted up by Feng Yu.
Yi Chen was stunned for a few seconds.
"You're a girl, but you're so strong."
"Tell me, where is Qiu Chunlai?" Feng Yu said coldly.
Yi Chen immediately reverted to his playboy self.
"Is this how you ask for help? Shouldn't your voice be softer? More docile? If so, I might consider telling you where he is."
Hearing this absurd request, Feng Yu let go without hesitation. As soon as she did, Yi Chen fell to the ground with a scream.
"You! No one has ever dared to treat me like this!"
