Life and Death Insurance – CH 028

Chapter 28

“Feng Yan, is something the matter?”

“Can’t I come to see you if there’s nothing wrong?” Feng Yan pouted her cherry-like lips and smiled, then sat down in the seat next to Xiang Tian.

This Miss Feng wasn’t only slender but also strikingly beautiful. She had hinted at her feelings to Xiang Tian several times, but Xiang Tian remained completely indifferent. Aside from polite responses, there was no further interaction.

“Xiang Tian, ​​I know a new Italian restaurant has opened. Shall we go try it tonight?”

“I have a lot of work to do here; it’ll probably be very late.”

“No problem, I’ll wait for you.”

As she spoke, Feng Yan took off her long coat and draped it aside, saying, “How about I do it for you? I used to work in insurance; I’m very familiar with these plans.”

“No, no need.”

Xiang Tian quickly declined. Seeing this Miss Feng reminded him of his three fierce older sisters. These beautiful women—their appearance and inner qualities were never proportional.

“How about this? I’ll go to my dad’s first, then you can call me after you get off work, and we can go shopping together and then go out for dinner.” Feng Yan started talking to herself.

“I’m sorry, I really have a lot of things to do…”

“Xiang Tian…”

Please don’t call his name so sweetly, okay? The soft, whiny call made Xiang Tian involuntarily pull his chair back.

“And I also have plans to meet a friend tonight, and I promised to go grocery shopping for him.”

“What friend? You need to buy groceries for him? Cancel it, or I can go with you.”

Feng Yan’s tone was very much like she was Xiang Tian’s girlfriend. This extremely confident girl didn’t see the fleeting displeasure in Xiang Tian’s eyes.

“It’s a get-together with some friends; it isn’t appropriate for you to go. Maybe next time,” Xiang Tian said coldly.

Faced with Xiang Tian’s indifferent attitude, Feng Yan felt a little embarrassed. She couldn’t understand why other men would pamper and coax her, but Xiang Tian was always so aloof.

Her temper flared, and Feng Yan’s face turned cold. She stood up, grabbed her coat, and stormed off without a word.

Seeing that he had angered Miss Feng, Li Weiwei, who had been watching from the sidelines, was somewhat confused.

“Xiang Tian, ​​I really don’t understand you. Feng Yan has status and looks, and you don’t even fancy a beauty like her? Are you hoping to find a fairy godmother?”

“Heh, the fairy godmother has Dong Yong, not me.”

Beauty? He had three beauties in his family, and even his mother was a beauty among beauties in her youth. Experience told him never to judge a book by its cover, because his father was a bloody example.

In the evening, after work, Xiang Tian first went to the supermarket to buy some vegetables and fruits before taking a car to Ling Zhengzhong’s house.

Ling Zhengzhong was busily cooking in the kitchen. After opening the door for Xiang Tian, he immediately ran back to the kitchen.

“Xiang Tian, ​​sit down for a bit. The fire’s too hot; I can’t leave.”

Watching Ling Zhengzhong frantically stir-frying and making soup, Xiang Tian couldn’t help but laugh. This guy rarely cooked.

“I’ll do it.”

“Okay, okay, tie on my apron; don’t get splashed with oil.”

Upon seeing a skilled cook, Ling Zhengzhong immediately stepped aside. He took off his apron, put it on Xiang Tian, ​​and then tied the strap at the back.

The apron was a pullover style, and Ling Zhengzhong’s series of movements made Xiang Tian involuntarily lean against him. Feeling that hand on his lower back, Xiang Tian’s face flushed.

“Xiang Tian, ​​how much are your groceries? I’ll pay you.”

“It isn’t very expensive. We are all eating together anyway, so let’s not talk about money.”

“Then don’t buy groceries next time. Just tell me what you need, and I’ll buy it.”

These words startled Xiang Tian. Judging from Ling Zhengzhong’s words, it seemed he hoped Xiang Tian would stay longer. This guy was really interesting. They had only known each other for a week; how could he have no basic sense of caution?

“Xiang Tian, ​​are you thirsty? Let me pour you a cup of tea.”

Watching Xiang Tian skillfully stir-fry the vegetables, Ling Zhengzhong found his earnestness quite endearing. He poured a cup of black tea and handed it to Xiang Tian. Suddenly, his phone rang. He quickly picked it up, saw it was Yang Yiqing, and only then dared to answer.

These past few days, he’d been thoroughly exhausted by Lin Qiaoya’s antics. Once he answered her call, she wouldn’t hang up for at least half an hour, and she always insisted on going out with him, seemingly determined to win him back. Ling Zhengzhong was getting a headache just hearing his phone ring.

“Zhengzhong, I’m at Yu Shenglin’s house now. We won’t be going to your place tonight.”

What? He’d made his little hamster buy so many groceries, and now he dared to stand him up.

“Didn’t you say Yu Shenglin didn’t want to go home? Why did he go back?”

“It’s all because of you. I listened to you, and Yu Shenglin and I went to Yixi’s gym. Guess who we ran into there?”

“Haha, it wasn’t Yu Shenglin’s old flame, was it?” Ling Zhengzhong joked casually.

There was a visibly startled look on the other end, followed by a sharp retort: ​​”How should I know? Little Hamster won’t tell me.”

“It’s Shen Meimei’s boss, Xu Yang, the big boss of the Jin Yu Hotel.”

“Ah…”

That eligible bachelor?

Ling Zhengzhong wasn’t very familiar with Xu Yang, but they knew each other. Xu Yang was quite handsome and very polite; he never expected him to be that kind of person.
