Chapter 438: Chapter 440 How about tonight?_1

Nan Feng laid next to him, leaning into his arms.

People who haven’t slept for a while might initially struggle to fall asleep as their spirits tend to be in a state of high tension. To help him, Nan Feng gently massaged his temples.

Before long, she heard his soft snoring. He had fallen asleep.

Nan Feng gave him a tender kiss, covered him with a blanket, and nestled against him, soon she too drifted into dreamland.

...

............

When Nan Feng woke the next day, he was no longer by her side.

He must have gone back first due to his ongoing case.

It was a bit disappointing, but she understood.

After getting up, she went out to have breakfast with Xue Ling. Xue Ling teased her, "Your beau left so soon?"

"He has his duties and can’t help it. But the fact that he could take time out of his busy schedule to check on me is already rare. Also, he said he’d come over later today, so there’s no need to worry!"

Xue Ling responded dismissively, "You two really are inseparable."

"Happiness comes from loving the right person."

Xue Ling looked at Nan Feng, "What do you mean by loving the ’right person’? Do you need to pick and choose when liking someone? You like your beau a lot, right? What if he doesn’t like you? Can you just switch your affections to someone else?"

Nan Feng pondered for a moment, "Yes, I would bury my feelings for him deep within my heart as fast as I can. The most important thing in life isn’t just liking him, but also living for myself. You should think about it, too. If you lose yourself because of your affection for someone, what would they like about you then? You wouldn’t be yourself anymore."

Xue Ling remained silent for quite a while.

...

Nan Feng was eagerly waiting for Ruan Ye. She perched by the upstairs window, looking out for his arrival, but by dusk he still hadn’t shown.

She went out to dinner with Xue Ling, but by the time they returned, Ruan Ye and his men had left. However, standing downstairs was a man of average build, appearing around forty and looking rather robust.

Wasn’t this Yan, the butler from Dragon Third’s side?

"Butler Yan?" Nan Feng approached the butler and greeted him.

A flicker of hope flashed across Xue Ling’s face. She didn’t speak, only gazing at Yan the Butler, seemingly anticipating some valuable information.

Upon looking at the two ladies before him, Butler Yan’s gaze settled on Nan Feng, "Miss Nan, the guardian Xia has already talked to the gang leader about your situation. However, he is tied up today, so the gang leader sent me to assist you."

"Oh, I see." Nan Feng then asked: "Did Ruan Ye mention when he would be coming?"

"At the latest, he should be here tomorrow morning. Also, the gang leader wants me to tell you guys that he is already thinking of a solution. By tomorrow, he plans to resolve this matter for you. As for tonight..."

Butler Yan paused.

Xue Ling quickly asked: "What about tonight?"

"The gang leader said you can take matters into your own hands tonight, get some of your frustrations out, but make sure to protect yourselves and not expose yourselves, to avoid being caught off guard," Butler Yan said.

At that, both Nan Feng and Xue Ling exchanged knowing smiles.

In the end, Xue Ling asked: "Did the gang leader say anything else?"

Butler Yan promptly replied: "That was all."

Having served Dragon Third for a long time, Yan knew his style and did not give Xue Ling any false hope.

Seeing the disappointment on Xue Ling’s face, Nan Feng patted her shoulder in consolation. Xue Ling, however, gave a bitter smile and shook her head: "I’m used to it."
