Female Novel
Chapter 113
Yun Muqing was still bothered by the strange thoughts after she sent the two carefree kids away.
She sat down on the lawn and placed her fair wrists under her chin. She sighed quietly. “I should haveleft Duo Duo there with them so she can help me by spying on them.” Then, Yun Muqing snortedangrily. “Duo Duo, that silly girl! How can she be so insensitive? She called Heather so dearly by ‘MissHeather’ when she’s not even that close to me, her own mother! Heather is just a few years youngerthan me, but Duo Duo called her ‘Miss’! And Chu Feng, that moron, actually looked at Heather 26times, whereas he just looked at me and Duo Duo for a total of 17 times only!”
Out of jealousy, Yun Muqing mumbled endlessly on her own. While touching her fair and soft face,suddenly, she was startled by an idea. For the first time in her life, she felt threatened by a young ladylike Heather. Perhaps, I’ve grown old and lost my charm?
At the same time, in the president’s office at the top of a business commercial center in Happy Valley,Chu Feng and Heather were sitting on an authentic leather couch which was air-freighted from Italy.They looked out through the windows; outside the windows, there were tall and magnificent buildingsand beyond the buildings, mountain ranges surrounded the city. Almost the entire scenery of Jianglingcould be seen from the office.
An old gentleman, who was dressed like a butler serving a Western noble family, was standing straightand obediently at a corner in the office. He wore a tuxedo and his silver hair was combed meticulously.The elderly man looked at Chu Feng in arrogance and disdain—he disliked Chu Feng. The man wasOld Henry, Heather’s family butler. He was the Senior Vice President of Happy Valley Group, apowerful man indeed. He usually acquainted himself with prominent billionaires, but now, he wasordered to serve tea to Chu Feng, a young lad in his twenties. He wondered what his mistress,
Heather, was thinking about when she told him to serve Chu Feng.
“There’s an old saying that goes, ‘Try to ascend the mountain’s crest; it dwarfs all peaks under ourfeet’. [1] It means the higher you stand, the wider your horizon will be,” Chu Feng said while looking atthe view outside. “Almost the entire Jiangling can be seen from your office here. If you stay here all daywith a view like this, I’m not surprised that you can build the Happy Valley business empire worth amarket price of two hundred billion USD within such a short period of time.”
Arrogance crossed Old Henry’s face when he heard Chu Feng’s words. He was very proud of hismistress. Miss Heather was the most talented lady, who has achieved an extraordinary successincomparable in the whole Western world.
On the other hand, Heather waved her hand and said politely, “My Lord, you’re too much. No matterhow high we stand and how far we look, we’re still in Jiangling. But you are different, my Lord, you area great man, much like a mighty dragon which glides through the sky and watches us from above, asthough the whole world is under your feet.”
Chu Feng picked up his tea cup and sighed. “Well, it’s not always fun to be high above the sky alone.It’s better to stay on earth where you feel livelier being surrounded by people. It’s less lonely too.”
“That’s why you decided to retire and settle down with a quiet married life?” Heather glanced at ChuFeng and said quietly, “Besides, I think your wife has a prejudice against me. She doesn’t seem to likeme very much.” She sighed.
A woman’s instinct was funny sometimes. Heather could distinctly feel Yun Muqing’s hostility andresentment toward her, even though the latter kept smiling at her. This had made Heather feel ratherawkward and nervous whenever Yun Muqing was around.
“That’s because you are too beautiful. Besides, you are a perfect girlfriend which every guy dreamt ofhaving, of course she’ll feel threatened by your existence! She’s afraid that you might steal my heart.”Chu Feng smiled. He knew Yun Muqing very well and knew that she was jealous of him and Heather.But still, Chu Feng was happy; he was glad that Yun Muqing would be jealous of him and another girl.This showed that their relationship had improved and they started to become more like a real couple.
Chu Feng was just joking around with Heather when he said those words. But Heather’s expressionchanged abruptly when she heard him. She quickly straightened her posture and clarified seriously,“My Lord, I’ve always admired you as a great man. I do not have any inappropriate thoughts about youand I certainly do not have any intentions to ruin your family. I hope you’ll understand my loyalty, myLord.” Heather’s blue eyes flickered with tenderness. “I just want to look at you from afar. That’s all I’vewished to do.”
Old Henry, who stood at the corner, stared at Heather in disbelief with his bulging eyes and his jawsalmost dropped to the ground. Oh my god, is she still the cold, proud and demanding Miss Heather thatI know? Miss Heather is such an exceptional lady. With just a simple wave of her hand, she can haveanyone she likes—anyone ranging from nobles, millionaires or even young and talented men will fallhead over heels for her. Yet, the young and demanding mistress was unimpressed by any of thosepursuers. But now, she is willing to degrade herself and become a ‘backup’ for this young man—a‘backup’ that will just look at him from a distance and support him in silence? Suddenly, Old Henry felthis head was spinning with confusion and that his mistress had gone completely mad. What has theyoung man done to my mistress? novelbin
