Chapter 36: My Man, Are You Qualified To Ask?

  "People are like this, when they don't have something, they constantly think about getting it, but when they get it, they find out what they wanted isn't that great after all..." Ling Fei looked back at the girl following him with big bags and small bags, skipping and jumping along, and let out a sigh. He thought to himself, helplessly, that when there were no beauties around, he yearned to be with one, but now that this beauty was keeping him company, it seemed like it wasn't such a good thing after all..."

  ……

  From the time she left the hospital, she has been wandering around non-stop. Ling Fei had no choice but to accompany her on these aimless wanderings, and nothing came of it. Instead, the tens of thousands of yuan they extorted from Zheng Dong shrunk by a third, which made Ling Fei feel a sharp pain in his heart.

  Today is Wednesday, Ling Fei originally wanted to go back to school to take a look, but Zheng Dong told him that he had asked for three months of sick leave on his behalf. Ling Fei was not in agreement at first, but thinking about his own physical condition, he could only give up.

  Ling Fei's body was a mess, with over twenty knife wounds, but miraculously he survived. However, what pained Ling Fei were the gruesome scars on his body, twisted and sinister, which made him anxious. Moreover, Ling Fei couldn't find any spiritual energy within himself, making him even more flustered. In this critical moment, losing spiritual energy was no different from having both hands cut off. No matter how hard Ling Fei called out, the spiritual energy that once existed had vanished without a trace, showing no signs of awakening.

  Those magical hands also became ordinary, just as Ling Fei was looking at his own hands thinking about something. At that moment, the girl ran over and patted Ling Fei's shoulder; "What are you thinking about?" The girl's voice was very pleasant to hear, like a canary's sweet song. Ling Fei was taken aback, then slightly turned his head, smiling at the girl and said; "Nothing, where shall we go next?"

  The girl giggled and pointed to the tall building across the street, Ling Fei exclaimed in surprise: "You want to go to Qianjiale?" The girl nodded, seeing that Ling Fei's face didn't look good, she pouted: "What's wrong, being so petty? Qianjiale has good quality and low prices, and a wide range of products. Let's just take a look." Ling Fei took a deep breath: "Okay" That Qianjiale was actually one of the industries under the name of the Mu Rong family, whom he hated the most. Although Qianjiale was only one of them, its strength should not be underestimated. Qianjiale had a national chain and was famous far and wide, it could be said that it was one of the best shopping places for some working-class people and white-collar workers.

  ……

  The two of them walked into Qianjiale, and a comfortable cool breeze blew towards them. Unlike the inferior air conditioning, this cool breeze was closer to nature. Ling Fei couldn't help but let out a soft sigh, and the girl smiled slightly upon hearing it.

  Inside Qianjiale, the first floor is a huge department store, the second floor is clothing, the third floor is jewelry, and the fourth floor is a restaurant. The fifth and sixth floors are car dealerships. From low-end to high-end, it has everything you need.

  The two of them put the big and small bags directly on the counter, and the girl pulled Ling Fei up to the second floor, starting to choose clothes from house to house. Ling Fei sighed and could only let her have fun, while he walked away gloomily...

  Suddenly, Ling Fei smiled and said: "I've known you for so many days, but I still don't know what your name is." The girl giggled: "You silly boy, just thought of asking someone's name now." Ling Fei was made to blush by her words, awkwardly scratched his head, speechless. The girl leaned on the handrail of the escalator, smiled and said: "My name is Sima Ke'er..."

  Ling Fei's heart skipped a beat, "Sima..." Seeing Ling Fei stunned, Sima Ke'er waved her small hand in front of his eyes and asked strangely; "Why are you spacing out again?" Ling Fei suddenly came back to himself, with an unnatural expression, forcing a smile; "Nothing, I just think the surname Sima is really rare..."

  The girl let out a silvery laugh and ran up to the top of the escalator in several strides, stepping over it; "You fool, hurry up!"

  Ling Fei's spirit changed and he felt a bit dizzy, as soon as he went up to the second floor, he was dragged along by Sima Ke'er. When Sima Ke'er changed clothes and asked for his opinion, he also vaguely perfunctorily replied, which made Sima Ke'er pout her small mouth, that adorable expression made people want to laugh.

  Suddenly, Ling Fei's eyebrows twitched as he looked at the man and woman walking towards him. A cold smile played on his lips. The two seemed to have noticed him too, with the woman waving her hand in greeting. "Hey, isn't that Brother Ling?"

  Ling Fei rolled her eyes and pulled Sima Ke'er, who was just about to enter an LV specialty store, towards the man and woman instead. She smiled and said, "So it's Miss Zhang, long time no see."

  This man and woman were none other than Zhang Yaru and Li Yong. Li Yong took a glance at Sima Ke'er, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. He seemed to be unable to understand why Ling Fei was always surrounded by such top-notch beauties. Of course, he was the main character after all!

  Zhang Yaru also took a glance at Sima Ke'er, seemingly slightly surprised by her beauty. Her gaze towards Ling Fei was filled with even more astonishment, she couldn't understand what this poor teacher had that could attract women...

  Ling Fei spoke up, and Zhang Ya Ru naturally couldn't be impolite, saying indifferently: "Brother Ling, how do you have time to hang out in a place like this? Don't you need to go to work?" The implication being, what are you doing in a high-end place like this when you should be teaching your poor students instead.

  Ling Fei smiled but didn't speak, however, Sima Ke'er was unwilling and sarcastically said: "The sanitation of Qianjiale isn't very good, how come there's always that kind of smelly trash getting in." Zhang Yaru's face changed, she gritted her teeth, thought for a moment, then swallowed this breath, but didn't want to concede verbally; "Wow, little girl has quite the sharp tongue, I reckon your skills aren't bad either." As she spoke, she also gave Ling Fei an ambiguous glance.

  Simakouer didn't know her meaning, glaring at each other; "What do you mean?" Zhang Yaru was so much older than Simakouer, and Simakouer was still a bit tender when fighting with her; "What do I mean? I just said your kung fu is great, you can't blame me for thinking crookedly, hehehe..."

  After finishing, Zhang Yaru still smiled a few times with a flirtatious smile, leaning towards Lai Yong's side. Lai Yong's outfit was all high-end and expensive, and compared to Ling Fei's outfit that Zheng Dong had brought out from his home, which looked like it came from a street stall, the difference in quality was obvious. Zhang Yaru looked at Sima Ke'er with a provocative gaze, as if saying "What do you have to compete with me?"

  Simakou'er clenched her silver teeth, hummed and stopped talking. She and Ling Fei were not close friends, at most they could be considered ordinary friends, and that was based on money. Simakou'er was willing to speak up because she didn't want her companion to be insulted by others.

  Ling Fei saw Sima Ke'er at a loss and stood aside, looking angry. He couldn't help but find it funny and burst out laughing. The laughter sounded different to Sima Ke'er's ears, and she thought Ling Fei was mocking her. She pouted and said, "Great, you're laughing at me after I helped you!"

  Ling Fei smiled ambiguously, and his gaze towards Zhang Ya Ru also became colder. When Zhang Ya Ru met Ling Fei's gaze, her heart skipped a beat, and her eyes became evasive. However, she thought to herself: "What is there to be afraid of from this poor teacher?"

  From start to finish, Li Yong didn't say a word, as if he wanted to show some gentlemanly demeanor in front of Sima Ke'er. Ling Fei sneered inwardly: "This man is lecherous by nature, and won't get anywhere..."

  Suddenly, the silent Lijiang spoke up and said: "Since we have fate to meet here, let's take a walk together. My father has a good relationship with Mr. Murong, so we can get discounts in this mall at will. I think Ling brother doesn't know that the second floor of this mall is a treasure trove of fashion, from mass brands to world-renowned designer labels, everything is available here. I think... if your girlfriend wears these clothes, she'll be even more beautiful."

  There isn't a woman who doesn't like to be complimented on her looks, and Sima Ke'er is no exception. Sima Ke'er's face turned red as she secretly took a glance at Ling Fei, only to find that the latter didn't have any extra expression on his face, which made her let out a sigh of relief. She also couldn't understand why she was somewhat concerned about Ling Fei's thoughts, but she quickly comforted herself with the fact that Ling Fei is her employer.

  Lui Yongjian saw Sima Ke'er and didn't refuse, not caring what Ling Fei thought, walked to Sima Ke'er's front, elegantly stretched out his hand, just like a noble; "Beautiful miss, I don't know if I have the honor of having dinner with you?"

  Zhang Yaru stood behind him, watching this scene with a pale face, but she was also powerless to do anything, and could only stare blankly as Li Yong ran to Sima Ke'er's side and invited her to dinner in front of her own face.

  Just as she was lost in thought, Ling Fei smiled calmly and said coldly, "My man, do you have the qualifications to ask this?"

  Sigh... Didn't I sigh in the previous chapter? This chapter won't have any sighs. Asking for a vote. Cough cough.
