Hearing this, Sun Shaohong was clearly stunned for a moment and instinctively looked at Zhao Qingling.
Zhao Qingling seemed a little hesitant at first, but after thinking for a moment, she stepped forward and wrapped her arm around Lin Feng’s.
“Sun Shaohong, Lin Feng is right. He is indeed my fiancé!” Zhao Qingling said coldly. “So from now on, please stop pestering me. I’ve said it before, I don’t like you!”
Seeing her admit it, Sun Shaohong’s already gloomy expression turned even uglier.
The Sun Family and the Zhao Family had always been old family friends. They had many business collaborations as well. Because of this, in Sun Shaohong’s heart, he had long regarded Zhao Qingling as his woman.
Yet now, Zhao Qingling was holding the arm of some man who had appeared out of nowhere and calling him her fiancé.
What difference was there between this and slapping him in the face?
A vicious glint flashed through Sun Shaohong’s eyes.
He stared at Lin Feng and said through clenched teeth, “Lin Feng? I don’t recall ever hearing of someone like you in Nancheng.”
If looks could kill, Lin Feng would already have been riddled with holes by now.
But Lin Feng did not care about his glare at all. He spread his hands with a smile and said, “It’s normal you haven’t heard of me. I only arrived in Nancheng yesterday. But I’m sure it won’t be long before my name echoes throughout the entire city.”
After a pause, Lin Feng’s tone shifted. “I can see you have feelings for Zhao Qingling. That’s not strange. A graceful lady naturally attracts gentlemen. But that was before. Now Zhao Qingling is taken.”
As he spoke, Lin Feng reached out and pulled Zhao Qingling into his arms.
Being treated so intimately, Zhao Qingling’s cheeks instantly flushed red.
But perhaps to stop Sun Shaohong from continuing to pester her, she did not resist.
This scene nearly made flames burst from Sun Shaohong’s eyes.
How dare this kid!
He had known Zhao Qingling for so many years and had never been this close to her!
“Even if you are Qingling’s fiancé, so what?” Sun Shaohong gritted his teeth, wishing he could tear Lin Feng apart. “Even married people can divorce, let alone two people who haven’t even gotten married yet!”
“Oh? From what you’re saying, you still plan to keep pestering her?” Lin Feng’s smile faded.
Lin Feng’s voice turned cold. “And as for me, I don’t have a very good temper. Anyone who dares to lay a hand on what belongs to me, I don’t mind breaking his bones as a lesson. If you don’t believe me, you can try.”
Sun Shaohong opened his mouth to say something.
But at that moment, he caught a glimpse of the cold glint in Lin Feng’s eyes.
A chill ran through his heart.
For an instant, he felt as if Lin Feng had transformed into a ferocious beast ready to devour its prey.
And that prey was him.
If he dared to say another word, it felt as though that beast would pounce the next second and tear him to pieces without mercy.
“You… kid, we’ll see about this! Qingling, I truly like you. I won’t give up!”
After throwing out those words, and afraid Lin Feng might actually act, Sun Shaohong turned and left in a hurry.
Watching his retreating figure, almost as if fleeing in defeat, Lin Feng curled his lips slightly. He then lowered his head to look at Zhao Qingling in his arms, whose face was still flushed, and smiled. “I didn’t expect you to have so many admirers.”
Lin Feng had not forgotten that aside from Sun Shaohong, Huang Qiming had also once tried to deal with him because of Zhao Qingling.
“No matter what, I’m still the eldest daughter of the Zhao Family. Isn’t it normal to have a few admirers? It’s just that Sun Shaohong is far more disgusting than the others,” Zhao Qingling snorted. “He’s not a good person. Relying on the Sun Family’s influence, he flirts around outside all the time, yet he keeps claiming he likes me. Does he really think I’m some naïve little girl?”
Only after saying that did Zhao Qingling realize she was still in Lin Feng’s arms.
Her face turned even redder, and she quickly pushed him away. “Just now, I only cooperated with you so that Sun Shaohong would stop pestering me. Don’t misunderstand anything! I don’t like Sun Shaohong, and I don’t like you either!”
“Yes, yes. I’m just a country bumpkin. How could I possibly deserve the Zhao Family’s eldest daughter’s affection? I still have that much self-awareness,” Lin Feng said with a smile, touching his nose.
As they were talking, the sales assistant from earlier walked over quickly.
“Mr. Lin, your measurements have been sent to the tailor. You can come and pick up the clothes tomorrow morning.”
She smiled politely. “Including material and labor costs, the total comes to 188,000 yuan. However, since you are Miss Zhao’s friend, we’ve waived the extra 8,000 yuan. The final total is 180,000 yuan.” New chapters come out on novelping dot com first.
Hearing this, Zhao Qingling immediately raised her head and pretended not to hear anything.
But her eyes secretly glanced at Lin Feng, filled with teasing.
Seeing her waiting to watch him make a fool of himself, Lin Feng could not help but laugh softly and shake his head.
It was true he had just come down from the mountains, but did she really think he was so poor that he could not even take out 180,000 yuan?
“Alright, then let’s pay by card.”
Lin Feng smiled slightly and took out the black card his master had given him before leaving the mountains, handing it to the sales assistant.
“Mr. Lin, please wait a moment.”
The sales assistant took the black card and walked toward the counter.
A short while later, she returned.
But this time, her expression was clearly filled with surprise and respect.
“Mr. Lin, here is your card. Please keep it safe.”
She returned the black card with both hands and bowed slightly. “Since this is your first time in our store, we have specially arranged a VIP membership for you. From now on, all your purchases here will receive a 20 percent discount.”
“What? A discount? Why have I never received this kind of treatment before?” Zhao Qingling exclaimed, clearly surprised.
She was also a regular customer of this shop, spending over 1 million yuan each year.
Yet she had never once received a discount.
Although she did not particularly care about a discount, the difference in treatment was far too obvious.
Could it be that the store treated customers differently?
But no matter how she looked at Lin Feng, she could not see anything special that would justify special treatment.
At most, he was a bit handsome.
For the first time, Zhao Qingling found herself completely puzzled.
