MTLNOVEL Chapter 523: Openly Carrying!
In the past few days, Nangong Qingcheng has been honing her culinary skills in her spare time from studying and working, especially perfecting a dish of crystal shrimp dumplings she learned online. She felt she had mastered it enough to invite Zhang Qinyao to her home today to taste it together.
Now that Jiang Feng had returned, she was even more eager to show off her skills.
So as soon as she entered the house, she went straight to the kitchen.
Moreover, she had a rule when cooking: no one was allowed to help, not even Liu Shiyuan.
This was to hold on to her pride.
Chu Feifei and Liu Shiyuan often still teased her about her cola chicken wings, and she wanted to prove herself!
While Nangong Qingcheng was meticulously preparing lunch in the kitchen for Jiang Feng and her girlfriends, Chang Wei and his crew were retreating in defeat, walking back to school.
Chang Wei held a tissue against his forehead, his face filled with intense hatred!
Who was he?
In the whole of Binhai University, among tens of thousands of students, he was notorious for being domineering, and there wasn't a single girl he couldn't get once he set his eyes on them!
Yet he had repeatedly faced setbacks with Nangong Qingcheng!
Today, incidentally, a security guard showed up out of nowhere, intervened, and ruined his plans!
Worse yet, he didn't know what came over him just now; he actually knelt and kowtowed to Jiang Feng out of fright, thoroughly humiliating himself in front of Nangong Qingcheng. It would be extremely difficult to save face in the future!
"Young Master Chang, what kind of relationship do you think that guy Jiang has with those four beauties? I just can't believe a mere security guard could be on such good terms with the four campus flowers. Even if he works in the warehouse of Nangong Qingcheng's company, it still doesn't make sense, right?"
One of the lackeys, after pondering for a while, spoke to Chang Wei.
"Yes! I find it odd too. Could it be that Jiang is having an affair with Nangong Qingcheng? Anyway, I just saw them exchanging glances..." said another lackey.
"Come on! With how high Nangong Qingcheng's standards are, she doesn't even fancy Young Master Chang. You think she'd be interested in a security guard? Are you kidding me?"
"Then how do you explain it? It's not unheard of for a good cabbage to get eaten by a pig these days. As the saying goes, fresh flowers can be stuck in cow dung. Maybe Jiang is well-endowed and skilled, and he's impressed Nangong Qingcheng…"
"Shut up, all of you!!" Chang Wei yelled angrily. His wrath was already immense, and these lackeys kept saying things that provoked him. They were deliberately rubbing salt in his wounds.
"That bastard made a fool of me and dared to touch my woman. I want to kill him!!" Chang Wei was trembling with rage, his face twisted like an evil ghost!
...
At the same time.
After Jiang Feng finished showering in the mansion, washing away the dust from the road, he walked back into the living room.
At this moment, apart from Nangong Qingcheng in the kitchen, Chu Feifei, Liu Shiyuan, and Zhang Qinyao were all sitting on the sofa, eagerly looking in his direction.
"Brother Jiang, tell us, what have you been up to these past few days?"
Chu Feifei shuffled over and sat next to Jiang Feng, crossing her fair legs and curiously asking.
Where to start, there was quite the tale. Although Jiang Feng hadn't been away for long, he had experienced quite a bit traveling north and south.
"Not much, just took care of some things," Jiang Feng replied vaguely and sat down.
Chu Feifei pouted, sensing that Jiang Feng clearly didn't want to talk about it, which left her feeling quite frustrated.
However, she didn't press further and continued chatting away, chirping about her recent experiences at school and the company with Jiang Feng.
After the Chu Group acquired the Han Family and Yan Family's assets, they had been overwhelmingly busy daily. It was only because Zhuge Yuheng gave her half a day off today that she finally had time to relax at home.
Seeing her chatter non-stop, both Liu Shiyuan and Zhang Qinyao felt a bit speechless.
They also wanted to chat with Jiang Feng, but with Chu Feifei around, they simply couldn't get a word in...
Just as Chu Feifei was engrossed in her storytelling, a sudden loud "thud!" came from the kitchen, followed by a light, painful cry!
Jiang Feng was startled and immediately rushed towards the kitchen.
He saw that Nangong Qingcheng was sitting on the floor, leaning against the door frame.
Nangong Qingcheng saw Jiang Feng coming and looked pitiful, clutching her knee with one hand and murmuring in pain.
"What happened? How did you manage to fall while cooking?"
Jiang Feng squatted in front of Nangong Qingcheng, seeing her with an apron dusted with flour, flour on her hair and face. She was wearing a pair of denim shorts, so her long, slender legs were also covered in white flour.
"I... I... it hurts!" Nangong Qingcheng started sobbing like a child who had done something wrong. Unintentionally, she removed her hand from her knee, revealing a wound bleeding.
It turned out that although she was cooking, she was very curious about where Jiang Feng had been in the past two days!
But following an agreement with Jiang Feng, she wouldn't overly meddle in his personal affairs and held back from asking.
However, not asking didn't mean Chu Feifei wouldn't.
So, as Chu Feifei was chatting with Jiang Feng, Nangong Qingcheng was cooking while holding a pot by the door, sneaking a peek through a crack to listen in.
Who knew she got too engrossed in listening, and by accident, lost grip on the pot which flipped and knocked onto her foot, causing her to lose balance and fall. This also toppled a flour bowl from the table, turning her into a fluffy little kitten.
Jiang Feng felt heartbroken seeing Nangong Qingcheng in such a sorry state!
He had told her countless times that she was too pampered and delicate for cooking, but she just wouldn't listen, and always ended up messing things up.
"I told you not to bother, let me handle it," Jiang Feng said helplessly.
Nangong Qingcheng pouted dissatisfiedly, feeling waves of grievance in her heart. If he hadn't been so evasive and unwilling to explain, she wouldn't have been so distracted, right?
In defiance, Nangong Qingcheng struggled to stand up, but Jiang Feng frowned and wouldn't let her be stubborn!
Without hesitation, Jiang Feng swooped her legs and scooped Nangong Qingcheng up in a princess carry!
Nangong Qingcheng let out a surprised scream, and the three girls who had followed behind, Chu Feifei, were also stunned by the scene!
Jiang Feng didn't care about all that; amidst Nangong Qingcheng's panicked struggle and the dumbfounded stares of the three girls, he swiftly carried Nangong Qingcheng upstairs!
