Chapter 531: Chapter 332: Little Fatty’s Wisdom!

Feeling full after just drinking water, this saying couldn’t be truer.

Tang Fei’s personal experience proved that he could feel sated with just a sip of water.

It was just that he used up a lot of energy, as he had to stand firm not only for himself but also to firmly hold Phoenix, who was soft as mud and could collapse to the ground at any moment.

No wonder the old people in the village always said there were only cows that died of exhaustion, not fields that were worn out.

The ground doesn’t need to move...

Tang Fei spent some more time with Phoenix, drank a Coke, ate a piece of cake, and watched a movie...

As the night deepened, he had no choice but to say goodbye to Phoenix.

"I could actually not go back," said Tang Fei as he looked into Phoenix’s eyes.

"No, you should go back. Little Fatty will worry," Phoenix smiled and refused.

She didn’t want to part from Tang Fei, but she was more worried about him staying.

She wasn’t afraid that Tang Fei would pounce on her like a hungry wolf; she feared she wouldn’t be able to restrain herself.

"Little Fatty is already asleep."

"No, he isn’t. I told him you would be going back."

Tang Fei looked surprised and asked with confusion, "When did you tell him?"

They had been embracing the whole time, their lips never parting. When had she managed to send a message or make a call?

"Now." Phoenix raised her wrist and spoke to Little Fatty’s Starlink number, "Your brother is on his way home, he’ll make something delicious for you when he gets back."

"I understand, Sister Phoenix," Little Fatty responded immediately.

Phoenix winked at Tang Fei, "Director Tang, good night."

With no choice, Tang Fei waved his hand at Phoenix, "Princess, good night."

After Tang Fei left, Jin Dewang was allowed to come over to report for work, saying, "Your Highness, Zhuang Zhongbing and his wife have been sent away."

"Mm," Phoenix nodded.

"They weren’t sent home but were placed in the Phoenix City Suburb," whispered Jin Dewang.

Phoenix fell silent for a moment, then nodded again and replied, "Good."

When the rabbit starts running, the beasts will smell the blood and pounce.

That would reveal who exactly wants to kill me and who’s lurking in the background to attack.

As for Zhuang Zhongbing and his pregnant wife...

All I could do was pray for their safety.

Phoenix wasn’t a malicious person, quite the opposite, everyone who knew her thought she was sincere, kind, cordial, without the aloofness of Royal Family Members, and she never acted like a high and mighty princess.

But that was how she treated friends and harmless common folk.

Zhuang Zhongbing was one of Chen Fenglei’s hounds, an executioner meant to silence others, a villain who tried to kill her and failed to dispose of the body.

Phoenix knew that if she wanted to keep him safe, the best way was to temporarily imprison him and his wife.

If she released them, even if she didn’t kill him, countless others would want him dead...

But why protect them?

Her sincerity and kindness weren’t meant for such people.

Because they didn’t deserve it.

"If you have no further instructions, Your Highness, then I..."

"Go ahead," Phoenix smiled beautifully, gratefully, "Lao Jin, you worked hard today. Go have a good rest."

"Your Highness is too kind, this is my duty."

Jin Dewang looked up at Phoenix’s smiling face; she looked so charming, yet he felt a chill down his spine.

He knew that at this moment, a great change had occurred in the heart of the princess.

Because when she smiled, it felt even more terrifying than when she was silent and suppressed.

Perhaps, in the future, he had to be even more cautious around this master.

A cornered rabbit will still bite.

Not to mention a royal lady of this caliber...

With a troubled heart, Jin Dewang bid farewell, but his face didn’t show any sign of his inner turmoil.

Phoenix sensed the change in Jin Dewang’s mood; she had always been a girl with a particularly delicate mind.

Living this way is actually very tiring, yet being born into the Royal Family, growing up in the Royal Family...

One has no choice but to be meticulous.

Since her mother’s death, she had scrutinized every person she met and every word she heard, always pondering the intentions behind them and the deeper meaning of the words.

A skilled chess player thinks three moves ahead for each one they make.

She didn’t like playing chess because it was too exhausting; she just wanted to live, and to live well.

She had always thought Tang Fei was a person without a sense of security; in fact, she felt the same way herself.

Perhaps everyone has their own black holes that are difficult to cross and that they don’t want to face.

Phoenix turned to her maid and said aloud, "Let’s go home."

"Yes, Your Highness."

------

When Tang Fei got home, Little Fatty was smashing rocks in the yard.

With each hammer blow, there was no sound, but the huge rocks on the ground would instantly turn into powder.

A gust of night wind blew, swirling the dust, and then the rocks on the ground disappeared without a trace.

There was no need to clean up deliberately.

Seeing Tang Fei return, Little Fatty dropped the hammer and rushed over, shouting happily, "Bro, you’re back?"

Little Fatty was extremely attached to Tang Fei; even if it was just a day apart, the joy and excitement he showed upon seeing Tang Fei again were like a long-awaited reunion.

You’d believe they hadn’t seen each other for three to five years.

Tang Fei looked at Little Fatty and asked, "Why haven’t you gone to sleep?"

"I was smashing rocks," Little Fatty said as if it were the most natural thing.

"I know you were smashing rocks... What I mean is, according to your routine, shouldn’t you have already finished dinner and gone to bed by now?"

Little Fatty, embarrassed, scratched his head and replied, "Sister Phoenix sent me a message saying you were on your way home and that you’d cook for me... but I had already eaten by then."

"Were you thinking of coming out here to exercise a bit to digest your food?"

"Uh-huh." Little Fatty nodded, proudly adding, "Bro, I can eat again now. Aren’t I smart?"

"..."

Tang Fei felt helpless, especially as he himself hadn’t eaten dinner yet and was actually quite hungry.

So, he ran to the kitchen and whipped up a few dishes, then the brothers wolfed down their meal.

"Bro, are you with Sister Phoenix?" Little Fatty asked.

"Yeah," Tang Fei replied.

"I haven’t seen Sister Phoenix in a while, is she doing okay?" Little Fatty looked up at Tang Fei and asked.

Tang Fei felt terribly guilty.

He now worked at the Monitoring Bureau, which left him with fewer opportunities to see Phoenix.

Even when they did meet, it was in cinemas or other private places, venues where Little Fatty couldn’t tag along.

As a result, Little Fatty had no chance at all to see Phoenix.

As Tang Fei grew closer to Phoenix, the distance between Phoenix and Little Fatty increased.

After all, Little Fatty needed friends too.

Thus, Tang Fei looked up at Little Fatty and said, "In a few days, I’ll invite Sister Phoenix and Mr. Sheng over to our place. I’ll cook something nice for you all, how’s that?"

"Sure!" Little Fatty nodded happily, adding, "I haven’t seen Mr. Sheng in a long time either..."

Tang Fei’s guilt deepened.

He didn’t dare tell Little Fatty that he and Mr. Sheng were living together, albeit nominally...

"Let’s all get together then. Tell me what you want to eat, and I’ll prepare it in advance."

"Okay, thanks, bro!" Little Fatty was in high spirits, and when he was happy, he ate even faster.

The food on the table disappeared at a pace visible to the naked eye.

Seeing Little Fatty eating happily, Tang Fei couldn’t help but smile.

Competing and scheming against others outside was stressful, but coming home to see Little Fatty’s pure and innocent face was incredibly comforting and relieving.

In this world, the most luxurious things are the simplest.

Thinking of Phoenix’s hesitant demeanor that evening, Tang Fei’s mood sank again.

What exactly had she gone through?
