Chapter 436: Chapter 277: The Boneless Person!_2

Sheng Xinhua, that human floodlight, was standing right there, so how could this guy dare to do such a thing?

Tang Fei shamelessly pursued her once more, forcibly grasping Phoenix’s small hand, comforting her as he said, "You know, the gap between us is just too great, so great that I don’t even know in what capacity I should interact with you, and I see no hope..."

"I feel like I need to do something, to work hard and bring myself closer to you. So that if we face any storms in the future, I’ll be able to withstand them. Instead of just letting things happen, drifting along with the current, with no room to fight back."

Phoenix, deeply moved, said, "I know, you want to make achievements, you want to win over my father and my brother, you want to prove your capabilities to them... But you don’t need to do all this for me. I’ll figure out a way for us."

"How can that be?" Tang Fei, with righteous indignation, refused, saying, "How could I possibly pursue and marry a princess of your noble stature without paying any price? Without making some changes?"

"If I just push you to the forefront and hide behind you whenever issues arise, not to mention others, even I wouldn’t respect myself... Such a person doesn’t deserve the princess’s profound love."

"But once you enter the Monitoring Bureau, you’ll have to handle all kinds of cases... With that, you’ll offend a lot of people..."

"My heart holds only the Royal Family, only the Princess. As for offending others, so be it; I really don’t care." Tang Fei said with an air of brash confidence.

His very purpose of going to the Monitoring Bureau was indeed to offend, to chop at the nine major families on behalf of the Royal Family, and make them hate the Royal Family to the bone.

He was a true troublemaker, stirring up problems here and there, and anyone who came into contact with him would end up stinking...

When both sides were at each other’s throats, that was his time to profit.

Because whether the Royal Family lost or the nine major families were defeated, he would be the ultimate winner.

After all, the case of exterminating the Tang Family was an injustice led by the Royal Family and executed with the participation of the nine major families.

Whoever died was avenging the Tang Family.

That was the plan laid out by the old man from the start.

Of course, he thought about a lot more, it’s just that for now, Tang Fei could not yet see hope.

"Oh my, that was so cheesy it could rot my teeth." Sheng Xinhua called out, "You two tone it down a bit, you’re standing right next to a living person."

She downed the red wine in her glass in one gulp, huffing and puffing as she said, "This is so annoying, even the wine doesn’t taste good anymore."

Phoenix simply wrapped her arm around Tang Fei’s, giving Sheng Xinhua a smug look, saying, "You’re just jealous. If you can’t stand it, why don’t you find one for yourself? With Professor Sheng’s charm, suitors could line up from Phoenix Palace to Sky Realm."

"What do I need a man for?" Sheng Xinhua, showing disgust, said, "I can drink fine wine by myself, eat delicious food by myself, sleep when I’m sleepy by myself... for physical needs, I can just buy a robot..."

"No matter how good-looking a man is, I’ll get tired of him after some time. I have to eat with him, sleep with him, even the air I breathe smells like him... Speak too little, and there’s no common topic; speak too much, and we run out of things to say. Silence is treated as emotional abuse..."

"I’ll have to get angry over little things, argue over a few words for half a day. Over time, I fear I might even get breast cancer..."

"..." Tang Fei.

Was this woman always this fierce in her speech? Even bringing up breast cancer.

Phoenix turned towards Sheng Xinhua and said, "You’re too sad. You should look forward to a beautiful future."

"I look forward to a beautiful future, just not to love."

"..."

This time, Phoenix was at a loss for words.

She knew that Sheng Xinhua lived according to her own desires, free and unrestrained, unwilling to be bound by conventional societal rules.

To her, marriage was a shackle.

"Why are you looking at me with those eyes?" Sheng Xinhua, unconcerned, shrugged her shoulders and said, "Nothing could make me happier than the life I’m living right now, and I have no desire to change it."

"As you wish; I’ll always be by your side anyway," Phoenix said tenderly.

"Good, I’ll only sleep with you, not with those smelly men."

"..."

Phoenix did not want to discuss such adult topics in front of Tang Fei, and turned to ask him, "Have you made up your mind?"

"Yes," Tang Fei nodded and said, "I’ve already made a promise to the King, how could I just go back on my word? A man’s promise is worth its weight in gold. I don’t want the King to think I’m not a man of my word; if he thinks I’m unreliable, that would be troublesome."

"Then make sure not to stick your head out too much," Phoenix cautioned, saying, "We’re not looking to make any great achievements, just to avoid any missteps."

"No problem," Tang Fei nodded, looking at Phoenix, who seemed to be giving him instructions like a little wife, and said, "The King was merciful, saying that I have an old acquaintance with the Zhong Family of the Monitoring Bureau, and he’s letting me serve under him. With him looking over me, I hopefully won’t be treated unfairly."

"Zhong Jiayuan?" Phoenix pondered for a moment before saying, "I know of him; I should have a chance to meet him."

"He would surely feel honored," Tang Fei said.

"Pfft..."

Sheng Xinhua burst into laughter once again.

Seeing that both Tang Fei and Phoenix were looking at her, Sheng Xinhua pointed at Tang Fei and told Phoenix, "Look at him, he hasn’t even entered the political arena yet... and he’s already so adept at flattering."
