Underworld: Starting with conquering countless lustful beauties

"Who told you to sing live! Did you do it on purpose?!"

Chen Feng gently removed her hand, even rubbing it against her palm in a cheeky manner, and said with a wicked smile:

"Miss Lei, I was just doing as you said. You told me to sing 'Conquer,' so I sang it, didn't I?"

"You...you scoundrel!"

Lei Xue was trembling with anger. She wanted to curse, but was afraid he would start singing again, so she could only lower her voice and say hatefully, "I told you to kneel down and sing! Who gave you the right to stand there wailing like a banshee!"

"A man's knees are worth gold."

Chen Feng leaned close to her ear, his warm breath brushing against her sensitive earlobe, and whispered, "Kneeling is out of the question, but I poured my heart and soul into this song for you. Miss Lei, isn't that enough sincerity?"

"you……"

Lei Xue felt her ears burning and her heart skipped a beat for no reason.

That bastard!

He was clearly being a scoundrel, so why... why couldn't he actually get angry?

Tangtang, who was standing to the side, was laughing so hard that she was bent over on the table and tears were streaming down her face.

"Hahahaha... Xuexue... This is what they call 'the wicked will be punished by the wicked'..."

Tangtang wiped away her tears while watching the two figures entangled together with a meaningful look.

She knows Lei Xue too well.

All those suitors in the past were so obsequious and doted on Lei Xue, as if she were made of glass.

Lei Xue didn't even glance at it.

But Chen Feng did the exact opposite.

Seemingly being manipulated by Lei Xue, he actually planned every step carefully, playing with Lei Xue's emotions at will.

Miss Lei lost completely in this round.

The off-key rendition of "Conquer" lingered in the coffee shop, and Lei Xue felt as if every gaze around her was a searchlight, making her feel hot all over.

"Go! Go! Go! Hurry up and go! This is so embarrassing!"

Lei Xue put on her sunglasses, grabbed Tang Tang who was always eager to watch the drama unfold, and rushed outside, looking like she was trying to escape a wanted criminal.

"Hey, Miss Lei, don't go! The song isn't finished yet!"

With a smug smirk on his lips, Chen Feng took a long stride and caught up to the door in a few steps, blocking their path.

"Aren't you ashamed?"

Lei Xue glared at him through her sunglasses, her chest heaving violently, clearly both ashamed and angry.

"Miss Lei, I almost shouted myself hoarse just now to make you smile."

Chen Feng rubbed his throat innocently, then quickly adopted a gentlemanly demeanor. "To show my sincerity and to apologize, how about you do me the honor of having a meal with me?"

"No way! Just seeing you is enough for me!"

Lei Xue refused without even thinking, though she was actually incredibly looking forward to it.

"No, I have something very important to discuss with Miss Lei." Tang Tang, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but laugh. She straightened her skirt and said with a flirtatious look in her eyes, "Boss Chen, there's no need for dinner. I have an appointment tonight, so I won't be a third wheel."

After saying that, she gave Lei Xue a look that said, "That's all I can do for you, sister," and then she was about to run away.

"No! You have to go!"

Lei Xue grabbed Tang Tang's arm and wouldn't let go. "You're my best friend, you have to be my witness! If this jerk does anything indecent again, you have to call the police for me!"

Tangtang: "..."

Ultimately, under Lei Xue's "coercion" and Chen Feng's "enticement," the three of them still sat down at a high-end Huaiyang cuisine restaurant.

The private room was quiet and peaceful, with a stream flowing right outside the window.

He very gentlemanly pulled out chairs for the two ladies, and without even looking at the menu, he directly ordered several exquisite Huaiyang dishes, all of which were flavors that girls would like, and also ordered a bottle of expensive red wine.

In his words and actions, there was not a trace of the rogue who had just thrown a tantrum.

He is a charming and worldly-wise mature man.

Lei Xue was stunned by this seamless switch, and her anger subsided considerably without her realizing it.

After several rounds of drinks and five courses of food,

Chen Feng put down his chopsticks, poured himself a glass of wine, and downed it in one gulp.

The carefree smile that had been on his face gradually disappeared, replaced by an indescribable sense of vicissitude and loneliness.

"Actually, Miss Lei, I know you look down on me."

Chen Feng's voice was low and hoarse, with a hint of self-mockery, "In your eyes, I'm just a hoodlum, a hooligan, a peasant who will do anything to climb up the ladder, or even... a joke."

Lei Xue was a little confused by his sudden seriousness. She subconsciously wanted to refute him, but didn't know what to say.

"But I have no choice."

Chen Feng gave a wry smile, poured himself another glass of wine, and rubbed his fingers along the rim. "I'm different from you. You were born with a silver spoon in your mouth, you can have whatever you want. I can't."

"I've been an orphan since I was little, raised on the charity of many families. One winter when I was six, I was chased by a stray dog ​​for three blocks for half a steamed bun. I lost my shoes running, and my feet were frozen like purple radishes, but I didn't feel any pain, I just felt hungry..."

Chen Feng began his performance.

He combined the scenes from those melodramatic dramas he had seen in his previous life with his own grassroots experiences in this life, and, after artistic embellishment, vividly recounted them.

The story of being abused by a stepmother (which wasn't true), selling blood to pay for his brother's medical treatment (which actually involved fighting and ending up in the hospital), and having to smile even when trampled in the mud... It's nine parts fake and one part real, but with Chen Feng's award-winning acting skills, it's incredibly moving and tear-jerking.

"I climbed up with all my might, not to bully anyone, I just wanted to live, and to lead my brothers to live a decent life."

Chen Feng, his eyes red-rimmed, looked at Lei Xue, his voice trembling:

"Miss Lei, the battlefield isn't just a business; it's the livelihood of hundreds of families. Zhao Tai's attempt to blacklist me is tantamount to driving us to our deaths."

Chen Feng was pretending to be crying his eyes out; the private room was deathly silent.

Tang Tang, as a rational bystander, swirled her wine glass in her hand and squinted at Chen Feng.

She could tell the man was acting, but his acting skills were truly superb; even she couldn't help but be moved.

This man understands women so well.

He knew that compared to a tough confrontation, a "beautiful, strong, and tragic" persona that showed appropriate weakness would be a devastating blow to a pampered young lady like Lei Xue who had been well protected since childhood.

Sure enough, look at Lei Xue again.

This young lady, who had been protected in an ivory tower since childhood and was a bit love-struck, suddenly had some crystal-clear little things appear in her eyes!

Where had she ever seen anything like this before?

It turns out that behind this arrogant man lies such a tragic past.

So his scoundrelliness and ruthlessness were just a protective facade forced upon him by life?

"You...you're so pitiful..." Lei Xue pulled out a tissue to wipe the corner of her eyes, her tone incredibly soft.

Chen Feng saw that the time was right.

He leaned forward, his gaze fixed intently on Lei Xue:

"One month. Just give me a month, don't push me too hard, give me a month to catch my breath. After a month, no matter what the outcome, I, Chen Feng, will have no complaints."

"Oh, and one more thing, this is between the two of us, you absolutely can't tell your brother!"

Lei Xue bit her lip, looking at the man in front of her who had humbled himself for his brother, and the last line of defense in her heart completely collapsed.

"A month..." she hesitated for a moment, "But what about Zhao Tai..."

"As long as the Lei family turns a blind eye, I have my own ways of dealing with Zhao Tai."

Chen Feng was resolute.

Lei Xue remained silent for a moment, then finally nodded, snorted, and forced herself to maintain her composure as a young lady:

"Alright! I'll take pity on you this once. But..."
