Master Head of the Dragon Soul

Chapter 272

Chu Feng merely smiled in resignation. Sometimes he really did not know if Fenglan had eyes or not; likewise, he did not understand how she could be so utterly blind to the obvious.

Muqing was so exasperated her face turned red. Stamping her feet, she snapped, "Mom, you… you’re so unreasonable…"

"Alright, we’d better head home now. Duo Duo is waiting for you, you know." Chu Feng was nonchalant about the entire matter. Tugging gently at Muqing’s hand, he turned to go. After all, it was pointless trying to explain anything to a woman like Fenglan.

Fenglan merely rolled her eyes. When the pair went out the door, she abruptly shouted, "Chu Feng, let me tell you, my daughter is going to marry into the lap of luxury, so the sooner you get yourself away from her, the better.

"If that other Mr. Chu takes offense, I certainly can’t help you. He’s a famous personality and a well- known big shot, you know!"

It was already evening by the time they left Muqing’s family home.

Chu Feng made no mention of Fenglan’s disdain and taunts or how he had been wronged today. Instead, he laughed and talked as usual; he did not display any signs of dissatisfaction or negative emotions.

This also caused Muqing to feel even more conscience-stricken, and her self-recrimination increased. Her promotion to the position of Director in the company, as well as her eldest uncle's family withdrawing their purchase order and apologizing, were all thanks to Chu Feng building momentum for her in the background. All this had happened because of him.

He was indeed her greatest hero, but he never received so much as a word of thanks or any respect from her own mother. In fact, Fenglan was making things so difficult and ridiculous that even Muqing, her very own flesh and blood, could not tolerate it.

Chu Feng has truly given so much and sacrificed such a great deal for me. How can I ever repay him?

Muqing’s lovely eyes glistened; inwardly she was experiencing immense inner turmoil, and her

thoughts weighed heavily on her mind.

If she really were to think it over carefully, it seemed to her that ever since she had met Chu Feng, he was always quietly in the background, lending support whenever she or Duo Duo encountered problems in life. Gradually, without her realizing it, Chu Feng had become an indispensable part of her life.

Furthermore, Zhou Lie and his wife Minglan had showered her with so much love and care that she truly experienced what it was like to have a warm, loving home.

Don’t tell me the only way to repay Chu Feng is to devote my life to him and become his wife?

Muqing kept turning the jade bracelet round and round on her fair wrist, her thoughts whirling around in her head without stopping. Her pretty face was scarlet and burning hot; she felt both shy and anxious.

"Muqing, why is your face so red?" Chu Feng was startled. Quickly, he rested his hand against

Muqing’s smooth face, then touched her forehead.

"You don’t have a fever either, so why is your face as red as a baboon’s butt?"

"You’re the baboon’s butt, you rascal! You and your entire family!" Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.

Muqing huffily pushed Chu Feng’s intrusive hand away and glared at him in irritation, before flouncing off.

"Ignorant wretch, no wonder you’re still single."

Chu Feng was left wondering as he stared after the angry woman who had just stalked off. Not only was he at a loss, but he was also bereft of speech.

Why on earth did she get angry all of a sudden? He wondered, perplexed. It’s impossible to understand a woman’s mind.

Half an hour later, Chu Feng and Muqing finally arrived back at Haitang Garden Mansion. Now

that they were in their own home, they were able to fully relax.

"Daddy!"

Barefooted, Duo Duo dashed straight into Chu Feng’s arms. Assuming an air of grievance, she pouted, "Daddy, you’re finally home! I’ve really missed you…

"The last few days we’ve been either eating instant noodles or ordering take-out. I’m so hungry I’ve gone thin."

Chu Feng’s expression was one of absolute adoration toward the little girl. Judging by her weight in his arms right now, he could not tell at all where she might possibly have lost any weight.

Muqing eyed Duo Duo’s round little stomach and saw right through the young drama queen’s play- acting. In some irritation, she asked, "Aunt Muyu was taking care of you, wasn’t she? Why

didn’t you ask her to cook something for you?"

Duo Duo shook her head vigorously. "I… I'd rather eat what you cook, Mummy. Even if it's hard to eat, at least no one's died from eating your cooking yet."

Chu Feng burst out laughing.

Muyu’s cooking could not even be compared with the unsanitary street food found in dubious areas of the city. Rather, it was an outright disaster.

"Hmph. At least you acknowledge that your Mummy tries very hard…"

Muqing quirked an eyebrow in a self-satisfied manner, then abruptly realized something. In a huff, she demanded, "You little rascal, is my cooking so difficult to stomach?"

"It’s not difficult to stomach, Mummy. It’s extremely difficult to stomach." Duo Duo’s expression was one of pure innocence.

As Muqing’s expression darkened and she snatched up a nearby feather duster, Duo Duo hastily burrowed her head into Chu Feng’s embraced and urged hurriedly, "Uh oh, Mummy’s on

the warpath now. We’d better escape now, Daddy…"
