179: A gentle and virtuous young wife

In his previous life, ever since his mother passed away, Jiang Feng was all alone, experiencing the coldness of human nature to its fullest.

At that time, his biggest dream was to have a stable home of his own.

Someone who could hand him a cup of hot water when he came home from work, or cook him a bowl of porridge when he was sick.

But then, he worked his hardest to save some money, only to be swindled out of the betrothal gift by that bitch Zhang Jinyu, and even framed and sent to prison.

After being released from prison, Jiang Feng, having earned some money, was completely disillusioned with relationships and began to indulge himself, changing girlfriends twice a day, numbing himself with alcohol and novelty.

Yet, deep down, he still yearned for a true warmth.

Now, Zheng Yiyun had helped him realize this dream, and even if this warmth carried an inappropriate tint, he couldn't bear to let go.

Auntie Yi Yun, although I'm a bit of a philanderer... you must accept it!

Zheng Yiyun tidied her collar, then reached out to smooth the stray hairs on his forehead—a few strands were pressed up from when he slept, looking a bit playful.

Her movements were gentle and meticulous, her eyes focused and earnest, as if she were cherishing a rare treasure.

"There, now you look much more energetic..."

She looked up at Jiang Feng, her eyes full of reluctance, "Be careful on the road, remember to call me if anything happens, don't make me worry..."

Zheng Yiyun looked at Jiang Feng, her heart filled with worry.

She knew Jiang Feng was going to meet someone to discuss business, but this child always acted fearless, and she really couldn't rest assured.

But she couldn't help much either, so she could only repeatedly remind him, hoping he would return safely.

After scrutinizing him up and down, Zheng Yiyun patted Jiang Feng's shoulder with satisfaction, but upon seeing a long black hair on his shoulder, she reached out and gently plucked it off.

It was hers, which had accidentally fallen there when she was tidying her hair.

Her fingertips brushed his shoulder inadvertently, and Jiang Feng took the opportunity to grasp her hand, his palm warm and dry, completely enveloping her hand.

Jiang Feng's hand was very large, able to completely cover hers, bringing a sense of solid security.

Jiang Feng looked into her eyes, his tone so sincere it made her heart tremble:

"Sister Yiyun, you are so good to me..."

He knew that Zheng Yiyun was truly good to him, and this kindness was without any ulterior motives, purely out of concern.

Zheng Yiyun's heart rate instantly accelerated, like a little rabbit thrashing wildly inside her; she tried to pull her hand away, but Jiang Feng held it even tighter, the pressure from his fingertips making her flustered.

"Quick... hurry up, or you'll be late, they're still waiting for you..."

Her voice was a little flustered, her cheeks started to flush again, and she didn't dare to look directly into Jiang Feng's eyes, only turning her head to look towards the second floor.

She was now afraid that Zhang Qingning would suddenly wake up.

Zheng Yiyun felt both shy and anxious; how could this child be getting bolder and bolder, being so improper in broad daylight?

If Qing Ning saw them, her face as an "auntie" would be completely lost.

But she also couldn't bear to break free; the warmth of Jiang Feng's palm made her feel safe, a feeling of being cherished that she had never experienced in all her years of widowhood.

She could only use "being late" as an excuse to urge Jiang Feng to leave quickly.

Otherwise, if he stayed any longer, she would really lose control of her desires.

Jiang Feng then released her hand, smiling as he ruffled her hair, like stroking a docile kitten:

"Then I'm off, Sister Yiyun, goodbye..."

He turned and walked towards the door, his steps light, and looked back once more when he reached the entryway.

Seeing Zheng Yiyun still standing there watching him, the smile on his lips deepened, and he waved before pulling open the door and stepping out.

He truly looked like a gentle young wife seeing her husband off to work.

"Be careful on the road, pay attention to safety, and come back early!"

Zheng Yiyun urged, looking at Jiang Feng's retreating figure, her eyes filled with reluctance and worry.

She stood at the door until Jiang Feng's figure disappeared at the stairwell, then reluctantly closed the door.

The door blocked out the outside light, also leaving her with an empty feeling in her heart.

Although Jiang Feng would be back tonight, the long daytime without Jiang Feng would be so difficult to endure!

She leaned against the door, her hand on her flushed forehead, a smile involuntarily playing on her lips.

Sunlight streamed through the window, bathing her in a golden halo, making even the tiny tear mole at the corner of her eye appear gentle.

At this moment, Zheng Yiyun's mind was filled with Jiang Feng's image.

She knew her relationship with Jiang Feng was against the rules, but she just couldn't control her heart.

This young man was like a ray of light, illuminating her gloomy life, making her feel the taste of happiness anew.

Even if this happiness carried a hint of adventure.

It was truly wonderful to have met Jiang Feng in this life.

Jiang Feng walked out of the building, the sunlight falling on him, bathing his entire being in a warm glow, dispelling the slight chill of the morning.

He pulled out his phone and checked the time; there was still half an hour until his appointment with Jin Meiting, which was just right, even if there was traffic, he would make it.

Jiang Feng was planning his next steps.

First, he would go to see Jin Meiting and see what this Stanford-educated female executive was truly capable of.

The information provided by the system stated that she was exceptionally capable, had served as a senior executive in three Fortune 500 companies, and had even helped a company double its annual profits.

Such a talent, instead of being a successful executive, coming to be a secretary for him, a small boss who had just started a business?

It really made him curious what methods the system used to make her willing to come over.

It couldn't be hypnosis, could it?

Then, he also had to deal with Liu Ruyan's family; anyone who dared to touch the people around him would have to pay the price.

He was never a pushover; he had been bullied enough in his previous life, and now that he was reborn, he would make everyone who had bullied and schemed against him pay ten, even a hundred times the price, and the Liu family was no exception.

.........

Happiness Residential District, main entrance.

The entrance of the residential district, which usually didn't have much foot traffic, was now surrounded by people, as lively as a market, blocked three layers deep and three layers out, making it impossible to pass.

Everyone's gaze was focused on a black luxury car, discussions and exclamations rising and falling like boiling water, even passing motorcyclists slowed down, craning their necks to look over.

A black Maybach was parked quietly there.

Waiting for its distinguished owner.
