Dragon King Palace: Urban Affluent Son-in-Law

"Why do we need this?" Situ Yan was a bit annoyed. She felt the waitress was deliberately messing with her. Sharing a room with Jiang Feng was already uncomfortable for her, and now this—was it an intentional attempt to embarrass her?

"Hmm?" The waitress looked at Situ Yan, puzzled. Why else would the two of them come to get a room this late at night if not for something like that?

Seeing Situ Yan on the verge of losing her temper, Jiang Feng stepped in to resolve the situation. He took the item and handed it back to the waitress, calmly saying, "We don't need this."

"Oh..." The waitress looked even more peculiar but thought perhaps it was their sort of fun, not caring about pregnancy, so she didn't bother further and put the item away.

...

Situ Yan, with a sour face, went upstairs, directly unlocked the door with the key, and entered the room.

Jiang Feng, without a word, followed her in. He watched as Situ Yan immediately changed into the hotel-provided plastic slippers after entering, setting her sneakers aside and preparing to wash her socks.

"Are you taking a shower?" Situ Yan turned to look at Jiang Feng and asked.

"You go first." Jiang Feng was used to her usual brisk and efficient demeanor. Seeing her in these cheap disposable slippers gave her a somewhat domestic girl vibe, and her white feet were beautiful, belying the day's walk with no flaws; they remained exquisitely delicate, almost emitting a fragrant scent, enticing and delicate.

Situ Yan didn't stand on ceremony with Jiang Feng and went straight to the bathroom.

Jiang Feng went further into the room, found a data cable, and just as he was about to charge his phone, it suddenly vibrated violently; someone was sending a video call invitation.

He looked at it and saw it was Chu Feifei!

Remembering his journey south with no updates sent back, it was understandable the three women at home were worried. More importantly, Jiang Feng had no idea how they were doing over there.

Jiang Feng sat on the bed and accepted the video call invitation.

"Eh? Uncle, where are you?"

As soon as the video connected, Chu Feifei leaned closer, eyeing Jiang Feng's surroundings with curiosity.

"The matter's settled, just found a place to stay, heading back to Binhai tomorrow!" Jiang Feng replied succinctly.

"With whom?" Chu Feifei suddenly asked a key point.

Jiang Feng stalled, instinctively glanced at the bathroom, where he saw it was semi-transparent, obscured by frosted glass but still faintly showing the scene inside.

From his angle, he could see a sexy, voluptuous figure showering inside.

And because Situ Yan was washing her hair, she couldn't hear him speaking outside.

"Alone." Jiang Feng retracted his gaze and said.

"Tch, I heard you went south with that female action officer, where is she?" Chu Feifei asked deliberately.

"Heard? Who told you that? Hei Zi?" Jiang Feng frowned.

"Uncle, don't change the subject!" Chu Feifei poked the screen with her slender white finger: "Come on, be honest, where's that woman? Are you with her?"

"She's in the next room." Jiang Feng maintained his composure, knowing he's blameless, but such situations with a man and a woman alone are hard to explain. If Chu Feifei told Nangong Qingcheng, it would be even more troublesome.

At that moment, he also found it odd why the one "checking in" wasn't Nangong Qingcheng but this girl.

"Oh." Chu Feifei finally believed him, then leaned back, moving her face from the screen, showing the full view.

Jiang Feng paused. He saw Chu Feifei sitting on her bed, wearing just a white spaghetti strap tank top. The tight fit hinted at her graceful figure.

She wore a very tight skirt below, the hem short, covering only the thighs, about ten centimeters above the knees, revealing a pair of long, fair, dazzling legs.

Between the skirt and tank top, her slender waist was occasionally visible, the smooth, soft abdomen bore not a shred of excess fat, with an adorably charming navel slightly indented, smooth and round as a jewel accentuating her snow-white belly, radiant.

At this moment, her skin as delicate as a baby's cheek, her face as fair as frost and snow, carried a slight blush, a hint of shyness hidden within, while her ostensibly serious clear eyes radiated an inherent charm, irresistibly captivating.

"Uncle, what's wrong? You don't look quite natural," the video image noticed Jiang Feng's abnormal expression and couldn't help but lean forward.

This made Jiang Feng see more things he shouldn't have, so he immediately averted his gaze.

At that moment, he wondered if Chu Feifei was doing it on purpose.

But he truly found it problematic—one in the bathroom, another on the screen, was making it impossible to relax at night.

"When are you guys returning to the company? Did Hei Zi tell you I went south?" Jiang Feng deliberately shifted the topic.

"Yes! We didn't stay long at the law enforcement department and returned to the company. Then we asked Hei Zi for your news; Hei Zi told us in detail, and that's how we knew you went south."

Speaking of business matters, Chu Feifei's expression turned serious, with some indignation: "That Feng Na is really despicable, biting the hand that feeds, colluding with others to do such a thing! When Qingcheng Shiyan and I got back, we were furious upon hearing about it; I almost stormed into school to find her again!"

"Didn't Bai Zhiqing return with you?" Jiang Feng suddenly asked.

"No." Chu Feifei shook her head regretfully: "Only the three of us came back; she didn't come back, not allowed to leave."

"Why?" Jiang Feng frowned.

"Because... those poisonous almonds were sold by her, she's directly responsible, and until the case is overturned, she can't get away. I even called my dad to see if he could help, but even his intervention was futile. Later, when we were released, Sister Bai was picked up by an action department vehicle, said to be detained for a few days."

Mentioning Bai Zhiqing's situation, Chu Feifei also felt both anger and helplessness, but as she said, the issue had already occurred, and someone had to take responsibility. Bai Zhiqing, unfortunately, became the scapegoat.

"Bai Zhiqing was detained?" Jiang Feng frowned, and instantly, an icy aura emanated from him. Thinking about the beautiful mature woman who had cared for him being imprisoned, he had an urge to rush back to Binhai quickly!
