Chapter 117
Even if this little rascal had a thick skin to defend against the weather, what about his own poor daughter? “I think you’re right, Uncle.” Xiao Hu nodded sagely, then smiled at Chu Feng. Just as Chu Feng thought he’d gotten through to the boy, Xiao Hu grinned and waved his hand in a grand gesture. “I’ll get my father to build a cafe here tomorrow, so that I can sip on milk tea while waiting for Duo Duo every day without catching a cold.”
Chu Feng became speechless. You cunning brat, did I say anything about a cafe? By the time Chu Feng realized his face had darkened, the two kids were already skipping away.
With a mysterious, but no less delighted look on Xiao Hu’s face, he said, “Duo Duo, I lost sleep last night thinking about how to prank Liu Yaoyao, and I’ve got an idea. It’ll embarrass her in front of the whole class and avenge you as well—”
Duo Duo’s expression stiffened and she lectured him, “Xiao Hu, it’s not right to do this. Our teacher taught us to be generous, kind and forgiving. How could you think of something like this?”
Xiao Hu nodded as if he’d just realized something, looking at her with admiration. “Got it, Duo Duo. You’re such a kind leader, and that’s why I ad—”
“But Liu Yaoyao is the exception!” Duo Duo waved her little fists and smiled maliciously. “Quick, tell me how you plan to prank her?”
Xiao Hu was the speechless one now. No wonder she was the leader in the class; she was so unpredictable.
Chu Feng smiled with relief and watched the two children rush to kindergarten. “That’s my daughter, alright. She takes revenge the first chance she gets, like me.” After waving her goodbye, Chu Feng left the kindergarten and strolled through the streets, still undecided on how he was going to spend the day.
Just then, the phone rang and when Chu Feng scanned the screen, he realized it was a call from Heather.
“Yes, Heather?”
“My Lord, I have news regarding the antidote for that Mandraka Poison the Holy Temple administered on you, as requested.” Heather’s voice was still melodious, but it sounded a little tired. Presumably, she’d worked herself to the bone over Chu Feng’s request for the past few days. From NôvelDrama.Org.
“News?” Chu Feng felt his heart leap with joy. The poison in his body was the gravest of his concerns because it was like a ticking time bomb. Who knew when he’d succumb to the next fit of aggression? Who knew what he’d do if he accidentally hurt Duo Duo or Yun Muqing?
“Yes, my Lord. Is it alright if you come over? I’d like to tell you the news personally.” Heather’s tone was happy, yet slightly bashful.
Chu Feng immediately agreed. “Alright. Where are you? I’ll come to you.”
“Really? I’ll text you my location.” Heather internally cheered like a schoolgirl with a crush. Just the thought of being able to see Chu Feng again was enough to lift her mood for the rest of the day.
The Time Cafe was an Italian-style, middle-class cafe that was strategically located within the golden area of Jiangling’s inner city circle, surrounded by office buildings and corporate skyscrapers. Its artistic atmosphere, elegantly unique decor and excellent service made the place popular with small business owners, artistically inclined youth and internet celebrities. Naturally, the place was also frequented by good-looking men and women alike. However, the arrival of a certain lady this day instantly made the cafe’s clientele look as boring as the background of a movie set; she was attracting everyone’s attention as she walked.
This lady was a Western, who had long blonde hair and eyes as deeply blue as the ocean. She wore a simple white jacket with lightly colored jeans hugging the curves in her devilishly perfect figure. As if that wasn’t enough, her features contained the gentleness and elegance of Eastern beauty, and the air of youth around her was irresistible. This Western lady, of course, was Heather. And she was waiting for Chu Feng.
