Chapter 38 Almost Suffocated

The second son of the Fengs, Feng Qianwu, hid away from his home every day recently. However, Nianxin would never spare him easily. Now, the old couple of the Fengs didn't want to see Nianxin, so she got a lot of spare time. On an afternoon of a breezy, sunny day, Nianxin appeared in the restaurant of the second son of the Fengs. She only wore an embroidered white dress and a simple hairpin with a pearl. Feng Qianwu was discussing business in a private room upstairs. He had not noticed Nianxin, who was in the main hall. Nianxin was a rare beauty. Now she deliberately showed her stunningly beautiful face and was only followed by an ordinary servant girl. Soon there was a buzz in the main hall. Even people in the private room upstairs could hear the noise and started to feel curious. Feng Qianwu looked out from the private room. He saw the white figure he had been hiding from on purpose. He felt so complex for a moment. Feng Qianwu had no idea why she was here. He turned back and no longer watched her, continuing to discuss business with others. Nianxin noticed that the second son of the Fengs took a short glance at her, but she was not in a hurry. She found a place to sit down in the main hall and ordered a few specialty dishes from the restaurant. Before the food was served, a bunch of thugs appeared. They surrounded Nianxin next to the table, and the only servant girl was pushed out. These people flirted with Nianxin, talking dirty words. They even reached out their hands, trying to touch her. Nianxin screamed in her soft voice, which forced Feng Qianwu to show up and save the beauty like a hero—after all, she was his sister-in-law. The second son of the Fengs took a look at the main hall. He left his business partners and went downstairs in a hurry. Feng Qianwu pushed the thugs away and stood right in front of Nianxin to protect her. "What are you doing? Are you ignorant of the law? How dare you come on to a lady here?" "Brat, be a clever man. Get out of here and mind your own business." "Boss, this chick is so cute. She looks much better than the women in the brothels." "I have never seen such a beautiful woman in my life." Obviously, these thugs didn't take Feng Qianwu seriously. Nianxin looked frightened, and she pulled the clothes on Feng Qianwu's back, "Second Brother, what should we do?" "Boss, this chick and this pretty boy are acquaintances." "Then neither of them can leave." "Chick, let's have a good time. I guarantee that you will remember it forever. You will miss us in the future." "Yes, we will be nice to you. You will enjoy it so much that you can never forget that feeling." ...the thugs spoke dirty words and looked obscene. They were almost drooling while looking at Nianxin as if they were undressing her with their eyes. "What do you want?" Nianxin felt really disgusted as a cold shiver ran down her spine. These actors were beyond her expectation! Feng Qianwu noticed Nianxin's shiver, and he thought she was scared. Therefore, he hid her behind his tall body, like a cool hero. "You monsters! I will never allow you to bully Nianxin. Fight against me first!" These thugs stopped talking and stroke at Feng Qianwu, targeting his face on purpose. Everything happened too fast. When the restaurant manager realized it, Feng Qianwu's handsome face was already bruised and swollen. The manager hurriedly asked the restaurant servants to take up arms to protect their boss. If something bad happened to him, no one would pay their salary. Two hunky men came out from the kitchen. There were still bloodstains on the knives they were holding since they just chopped meat. The two knives looked heavy and sharp, glaring under the sunlight at noon. These thugs were frightened, but it was too late. They were beaten up and sent to the officials. Nianxin was so shocked. How could people arranged by Xuan Zhi be so weak? When she raised her head, she saw some people in worn-out clothes who were obviously killers at the door. When these men were about to walk into the restaurant, they saw the thugs being sent away. She shook her head at them immediately. Fortunately, they were not stupid and turned around to leave at once. Nianxin kept sighing inwardly. It seemed that the people she met were real thugs! But luckily, the people arranged by Xuan Zhi did not carry out their original plan. It's so obvious that these men were killers. If they impersonated thugs, they might still look like killers. Nianxin thought about the scene, doubting they would do the job well. She turned around and put on her pitiful face, looking at Feng Qianwu's swollen face. The way she acted almost made people who didn't know the situation thought she was the one beaten up. Nianxin touched his face as if she felt very sorry for him, but actually, she was trying so hard not to laugh out loud. She had to take a handkerchief to cover her face from time to time, pretending she was crying. People who saw her all thought she was very upset about what happened to Feng Qianwu. The restaurant manager called a doctor to check on his boss and arranged the best private room in the restaurant for them. Those thugs were apparently jealous of Feng Qianwu's handsome appearance. Most of his wounds were on his face, and his body was not seriously injured. Nianxin insisted on staying here and helping him apply ointment by herself, despite Feng Qianwu's objection. The restaurant manager and others understood the situation immediately. They closed the door and left, leaving the two alone inside. These people did not know Nianxin was just their boss's sister-in-law. Seeing their intimate behavior, they thought their boss was finally enlightened by love and would marry this woman soon. "Nianxin, I can apply ointment myself. This is inappropriate." "Second Brother, do not refuse me. If you weren't there for me today, who knows what would happen?" Nianxin cried after she finished her words. She hugged him and trembled in his arms—well… she had to do it because she really wanted to laugh when she looked at his face. "Nianxin, don't do this. I will save any woman in trouble. Not to mention, you are…" It's still difficult for him to call her sister-in-law. "Second Brother, you are the best. You can't see your wounds. Just let me help you." Nianxin had laughed for a long time. After making sure her expression was normal, she sat up and continued to apply ointment to his wounds. "Nianxin, don't tell our family about it. I don't want my parents to be worried." Feng Qianwu no longer resisted, letting Nianxin help him. "Okay." Nianxin was not silly. She never intended to tell them, "But Second Brother, your parents can know it from your appearance at a glance." "I will send a man to tell them that I'm going on a trip to make a purchase. I won't go home until I recover." "Okay. I'll come and check on you every day." "That's not appropriate." "Second Brother, you got hurt because of me. Please allow me to visit you. At least, it can make me feel better!" Nianxin's tone was apologetic but charming and pettish at the same time. She did it so well that people would naturally be intoxicated by her character without feeling anything strange. Feng Qianwu was an experienced businessman. He always felt suspicious because there were too many coincidences. However, it was also his first time to get along with a woman in this way. He was not sure if he's being paranoid or not. After Nianxin left the restaurant, she dropped her disguise for the first time and laughed out loud on the street. People passing by looked at her with curious eyes. Was this beautiful woman mad? The servant girl also felt confused. Was the eldest young master's wife driven crazy by the shock? Well, no one knew Nianxin had almost suffocated for holding back her laughter earlier. When she stopped laughing, she asked the servant girl not to tell others about it after they went home. She was not worried about this servant girl divulging the secret. If she really did, Xuan Zhi would help Nianxin get rid of her, and others would be told that this servant girl eloped with someone. Of course, Nianxin would not kill her. She was not a maniac. She would just arrange a job in a different family for the servant girl. After the incident of Yuer, now Nianxin would not leave any potential trouble to herself. Every day, after Feng Qianchu went to the camp, Nianxin visited Feng Qianmu in the morning and accompanied Feng Qianwu in the afternoon. She had kept all the three brothers in mind. However, Feng Qianwu went back home after he recovered. In this case, Nianxin didn't have any excuse to visit him. But not having an excuse was not a big deal because she could create opportunities herself! However, the old couple of the Fengs felt flustered whenever they saw Nianxin or even heard her voice. It was a good and cloudless day. At this moment, the pure and charming beauty held two suits of clothes in her hand. She walked toward the old couple's room slowly and knocked on their door. "Mother and Father, I have made two suits of clothes especially for you. I hope you can try them on." "There's no one in the room. The lord and the lady both went out." Mrs. Feng was in the room, but she changed her voice to talk like a pageboy. Mr. Feng even trembled. He had been a military hero all his life, and he had never been afraid of anyone. However, now he had no way to deal with this weak woman who always cried out pitifully. Outside the door, Nianxin sneered secretly, but she's still wearing an enchanting smile, looking as pure as a flower. "Then I will wait for them at the door." "You can take them back first, Madam. No one knows when the lord and the lady will come back. When they return, I will inform you immediately." "Then I am leaving. Please inform me when Mother and Father come back. I will come to visit them again. I have worked for a long time to make these clothes to show my respect and appreciation to them!" As soon as Nianxin left, the old couple packed their luggage and called a carriage to go on a trip. If they wanted to live longer, they had to hide from Nianxin! After they left, Xuan Zhi soon told this news to Nianxin, who was back in her room. The smile on her face turned bigger. Recently, Feng Qianchu was not home to suppress bandits. Since the old couple was not home either, it's more convenient for her to get closer to Feng Qianwu. She had to get uncertain factors out of her plan. It was a pity that the two special suits were wasted—they could make the old couple stay itchy for many days. That night, moonlight shone on the rockery gently. It was dim, but the scene showed a kind of unspoken beauty as if a romantic encounter was coming. In the back garden of the mansion of the Fengs, a woman was sitting in the pavilion quietly. She only wore a white embroidered dress and a simple hairpin with a pearl, but they did not affect how beautiful she looked. She was like the goddess of the moon. This scene was like a poetic painting, and no one could bear to destroy it. Nianxin heard footsteps behind her and then turned around. She saw the man coming and smiled at him gently. She greeted him first, "Second Brother, what a coincidence! What brings you here?"
