Chapter 36

Feng Yan was about to say something, but Sheng Xia’s astonishing words choked him back.

He paused slightly and reassured her in a calm voice, “Xia Xia, rest assured, even if I really go bankrupt in the future, what I gave you before will still be yours.”

Before Sheng Xia could breathe a sigh of relief, the man continued as if nothing had happened, “But by then, I might have to rely on Xia Xia to support me.”

Sheng Xia: ?

This scumbag was still thinking about her property. She had never seen such a shameless person!

She angrily complained to the system, and the system took the opportunity to add fuel to the fire: [Exactly, I’ve always said that Feng Yan is deeply scheming. Look, he’s even planned his escape route for the future! The host must stay vigilant and not be easily deceived by him!]

Sheng Xia didn’t respond to this, and instead asked, “So who came to the house?”

[It’s the Sheng family couple, your father and stepmother.]

So it was them.

Sheng Xia suddenly realized why Feng Yan had said that just now.

He had indeed promised her that he wouldn’t let the Sheng family couple disturb her. And during that time, she didn’t know what he had done, but neither Sheng Lanqiu nor the Sheng family couple had called.

Now that they suddenly showed up, it must be for no good reason, and Feng Yan naturally felt sorry for breaking his promise to her.

Thinking back to how the Sheng family couple treated the original owner, Sheng Xia narrowed her eyes slightly.

Oh, since they came to the door on their own initiative, let’s give them some face and make them wait a little longer.

So she cleared her throat, raised her hands solemnly, and waved them in front of Feng Yan.

Feng Yan cooperatively asked, “What are you trying to do, Xia Xia?”

“Let me introduce myself. I am a cute little crab,” Sheng Xia said vividly. “I used to rely on my pincers to walk around freely, but one day I suddenly found out that my pincers were gone.”

She suddenly became serious and heavy, “What should I do, I’ve lost my pincers!”

Feng Yan instantly understood. Unable to hold back, he covered his mouth with his fist and burst out laughing.

The man’s cold and noble eyebrows and eyes seemed particularly gentle, his laughter low and magnetic, making people’s ears tingle, “How can I bear to let such a cute little crab, unable to be arrogant because of lack of money?”

Sheng Xia’s eyes lit up, ready to pursue her advantage, but Feng Jingxu couldn’t stand it and interrupted, “That’s enough, stop flirting with each other. What does it have to do with the Feng family? What benefit is bankruptcy to you two?”

“Really, the two of you are not young anymore. Can’t you be more mature?” he looked disgusted, “So who exactly came to visit? Weren’t you in a hurry just now? Why are you dilly-dallying now?”

He tried to bring the topic back seriously, but as soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly met the gazes of the two at the same time.

Sheng Xia smiled, “Xiao Xu, haven’t you eaten much? Aren’t you hungry?”

The experience of being played with multiple times finally made Feng Jingxu cautious, “I’m fine, I’ve eaten enough.”

“How could that be, you must be very hungry,” Sheng Xia said confidently, “Otherwise, why would I hear the northwest wind talking next to you?”

Feng Jingxu seemed to have figured out her trick and raised an eyebrow, continuing, “So, the northwest wind said I’m hungry and advised me to drink more?”

Sheng Xia smiled faintly, her voice soft, “It’s saying, ‘I’ll twist your head off.'”

Feng Jingxu suddenly felt a chill on his neck: “…”

“Sigh, there are not many interesting souls around, but there must be many trolls, including you. It’s really a terrible thing.”

Feng Jingxu was almost developing PTSD from the word “terrible” now, feeling his temples twitch involuntarily, “I’m really sorry, I turned out to be a troll.”

“It’s okay, since I’m a tolerant, patient, gentle, and generous woman, after the Feng family goes bankrupt and I can still feed off the little ones, no matter what you do, I can tolerate it.”

Feng Jingxu always felt that something was off about Sheng Xia’s seemingly gentle eyes. His body hair stood on end, and he subconsciously looked at Feng Yan, casting a puzzled look.

However, Feng Yan was also looking at him with a pensive expression. After a while, he smiled slightly and teased, “Indeed, I almost forgot about Xiao Xu. He’s really a good choice. Congratulations, Xia Xia, the crab’s pincers are safe.”

As he watched Feng Yan get up to pay the bill and leave, Sheng Xia turned around and saw the young man still looking puzzled and confused. She couldn’t help but comfort him, “It’s okay, Xiao Xu, if you can’t figure it out, just keep trying.”

“After all, only through effort will you realize that the gap in our IQ is insurmountable.”

Feng Jingxu’s face was expressionless: “You, shut, up.”

Sheng Xia: ^_^

So, until Feng Yan pushed Sheng Xia out, Feng Jingxu followed behind, still puzzled. What kind of riddle were they, husband and wife, playing?

Until they got into the car, he watched as Feng Yan suddenly went out again after putting Sheng Xia in the car, and when he came back a few minutes later, he had a small basket of freshly picked tomatoes from the courtyard, which he handed to Sheng Xia.

The tomatoes in the basket had obviously been washed, with glistening water droplets, making them look even more enticing.

Sheng Xia looked at Feng Yan with a familiar look and said happily, “Thank you, husband, you’re so good~”

How familiar was she? In what degree? Probably similar to the strange look she gave her just now.

A sudden flash of insight crossed the young man’s mind: Isn’t that the satisfied look of a capitalist looking at her own donkey?

So, in this woman’s eyes, am I the next donkey??

Feng Jingxu clenched his fist.

Did his dad not notice that there was still someone in the back seat? Even if he was too lazy to pick him up, he could at least move his mouth and remind him to pick-up some of it if he wanted to eat tomatoes, right?

Ha, indeed, there is a father-son relationship, but not much.

…

Because Sheng Xia deliberately delayed the time, and Feng Yan also seemed to intentionally or unintentionally cooperate, by the time they returned to the Feng residence, the Sheng family couple had been waiting for two hours.

The forced smile that had barely been maintained was now completely unsustainable. However, the butler who was receiving them still wore an elegant and polite smile, constantly asking the maid to refill their tea.

Knowing the position of this butler Zhao in the Feng family, deeply trusted by Feng Yan, Sheng Fu felt anxious but couldn’t lose his temper. He dryly drank tea that was forced on him. After running to the bathroom several times, he had almost worn out the father-in-law demeanor he had deliberately put on when he arrived.

Sheng Mu could still maintain her composure, but no matter how tactfully she asked, when Sheng Xia would return, the butler’s reply remained unchanged in tone: “They will be back soon, sir and madam are already on their way.”

But you said the same thing two hours ago. Are they walking here? How come they still haven’t returned?

Sheng Mu forced down her anger and managed to show a graceful smile, “That’s good then.”

However, while she could wait, Sheng Fu was already furious.

So, when he finally heard the sound of Sheng Xia and Feng Yan entering the door, he couldn’t help but stand up, and the words of blame came out of his mouth uncontrollably, “Why are you back so late? Do you still have any regard for me as your father?!”

“Huh, how did you know I went blind?”

Sheng Xia paused, slowly raised her head, and showed an innocent and weak expression, “Sorry, just had an amputation surgery at the hospital and came back without legs.”
