The woman before me is the most distinguished widow in the West District, a beauty coveted by countless men.

At this moment, however, she knelt beside him like a dutiful wife, gently serving him.

This stark contrast in identity and the visual stimulation caused the evil fire within Chen Feng to surge upwards.

"Madam Bai, these kinds of rough jobs can be done by the servants. Why do it yourself?" Chen Feng's voice was a little hoarse as he tried to divert attention.

"I don't trust my servants to be so capable."

Bai Wei didn't even look up, focusing intently on treating her wound.

Her fingertips were slightly cool, and when they occasionally touched Chen Feng's burning hot skin, it felt like an electric current running through him.

Even she herself couldn't explain why she did it.

Perhaps it was gratitude, perhaps guilt, or perhaps... she wanted to see this man up close.

Looking at the crisscrossing old and new scars on his body, and at his muscles as solid as granite.

Each scar seemed to tell the story of this man's past ruthlessness and strength.

This is the real man.

He was younger and stronger than Zhou Ming, and possessed a more reassuring and domineering aura than Zhao Tai, who only knew how to use underhanded tricks.

"alright."

Bai Wei finished bandaging his last wound, straightened up, and gently exhaled.

The two were extremely close, their breaths mingling.

Chen Feng looked up and met Bai Wei's eyes, which were filled with a gentle, watery light.

Their eyes met, and the air seemed to freeze.

Bai Wei's cheeks flushed slightly, and she subconsciously tried to back away, but Chen Feng grabbed her wrist.

"Madam Bai, you haven't changed your clothes yet."

Chen Feng's gaze fell on her half-concealed bathrobe, his eyes burning with desire.

Bai Wei's heart skipped a beat. She gently pulled her hand away from his, her eyes looking away in a flustered manner.

"I...I'm going to take a shower now."

Just as she was about to turn around, as if remembering something, she walked to the bedroom wardrobe and opened the long-sealed door.

That's Zhou Ming's wardrobe.

She chose a suit that matched Chen Feng's build and came out.

She looked at Chen Feng, her eyes darting away, and an unnatural blush rose to her cheeks.

"Boss Chen, if you don't mind... go change your clothes first. These are my late husband's clothes. Although they're not very auspicious, they're still better than your soaking wet, blood-stained clothes."

Chen Feng raised an eyebrow.

Wearing Zhou Ming's clothes?

In the underworld, this is an extremely ambiguous move, even carrying a certain sense of "inheritance".

Wearing my sister-in-law's deceased husband's clothes, what's next...?

He didn't refuse; instead, he gave Bai Wei a meaningful look:

"Then I shall accept your offer. Thank you, sister-in-law."

The word "sister-in-law" made Bai Wei's heart skip a beat.

Bai Wei pointed to the guest bathroom on the first floor, not daring to look at Chen Feng's eyes that seemed to see right through people. She wrapped her coat tighter around herself and hurriedly ran upstairs. "I'm going to change my clothes too."

Watching Bai Wei's retreating figure, her waist and hips swaying with each step, Chen Feng's smile deepened.

……

Twenty minutes later.

Light footsteps came from the stairs.

Chen Feng was adjusting his suit in front of the full-length mirror in the entryway when he heard the sound and subconsciously looked up.

Then, he froze.

Bai Wei slowly walked down the stairs, wearing a light purple gauze nightgown, so thin that her snow-white skin could be seen underneath. Although she was covered up completely, the gossamer-thin fabric could not hide her breathtaking curves at all.

The robe's belt was tied very tightly, which accentuated her slender waist, which seemed to burst forth from her full figure, and her swaying hips.

As she descended the stairs, the hem of her skirt swayed gracefully with her hips, revealing her long, shapely legs beneath the thin fabric. Though she didn't expose any skin, she was undeniably sexy.

She had just taken a shower, her long hair still damp, casually draped over her shoulders.

Her bare face lacked some of its allure but gained a touch of innocence, like the true self stripped of all pretense.

But it is precisely this authenticity that makes it all the more moving.

Chen Feng's Adam's apple bobbed involuntarily.

Purple......

It's that damn deadliest purple color again!!

I don't know why I'm so obsessed with purple, so powerless against it.

This woman... she's fucking awful!!

Bai Wei stopped abruptly the moment she saw Chen Feng.

He was wearing Zhou Ming's black suit, which perfectly filled out every inch of the fabric.

The body proportions of broad shoulders and narrow waist make the originally somewhat loose suit fit just right.

With just an inch of his white shirt peeking out from his cuffs, he exuded a unique charm characteristic of a mature man.

In a daze, Bai Wei seemed to see Zhou Ming.

No, that's not right.

Chen Feng is younger than Zhou Ming, taller than Zhou Ming, and has a more untamed and dynamic presence.

If Zhou Ming looks like a cunning and ruthless tycoon in this suit, then Chen Feng looks like a young lion king about to conquer the world.

"What's wrong?"

Chen Feng's voice broke the silence, a playful smile playing on his lips, "Is Madam Bai looking at me like that because this outfit doesn't suit me?"

Bai Wei suddenly snapped back to her senses, her cheeks instantly burning red.

"No...it's not suitable."

She hurried down the stairs, deliberately avoiding looking at Chen Feng, and went straight to the liquor cabinet. "Boss Chen, what would you like to drink?"

"casual."

Chen Feng sat down on the sofa, his long legs elegantly crossed, exuding a languid yet dangerous aura.

Bai Wei had her back to him, her hands trembling slightly as she poured the wine.

She could feel the scorching gaze behind her, as if it wanted to burn through her back.

The feeling of being watched by a predator made her both nervous and...excited?

Damn it, what am I thinking!

"Give."

Bai Wei walked over with two glasses of whiskey, handed one to Chen Feng, and then sat down on the single sofa opposite him.

She deliberately chose the furthest spot, put her legs together, and held the hem of her robe with her hands, sitting as dignifiedly as a female student.

Chen Feng couldn't help but chuckle as he looked at her cautious demeanor.

"Madam Bai, there's no need to be so nervous. While I may not be a gentleman, I would never take advantage of someone in distress."

"I wasn't nervous."

Bai Wei picked up her wine glass, trying to hide her panic, but because she drank too quickly, she choked on the spicy wine and started coughing.

"Cough cough..."

"Slower."

Chen Feng got up, walked around the coffee table, sat down next to her, and gently patted her back.

His palms were large and warm; even through the thin nightgown, Bai Wei could clearly feel their heat.

"No...it's nothing."

Bai Wei quickly moved away, but Chen Feng grabbed her arm.

"Madam Bai."

Chen Feng's voice suddenly turned low and serious, "Let's talk about serious matters."

Bai Wei was stunned for a moment before remembering the main point of tonight's event.

She took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down: "Mr. Chen, please speak."

Chen Feng released her hand, leaned back, lit a cigarette, and his expression became serious.

"Madam Bai, let's be frank. We both know the current situation; it's like the ice in this glass—it looks solid, but it's actually melting."

He took a sip of the liquor, the spiciness washing over him, and his eyes sharpened.

"Let me start with me. That grandson of a Zhao Tai, by taking advantage of the Zhao family's influence and joining forces with Lei Hu, contacted all the developers and construction companies in Donghai City that he had worked with, telling them not to buy goods from me."

Chen Feng flicked his cigarette ash, his voice low.

"Not to mention Lei Hu, he's my sworn enemy. He's always wanted to take me down. This time, Zhao Tai acted as a go-between, and he's just hoping to use me to do his dirty work."

"The Zhao family is deeply entrenched and controls upstream developer resources. Lei Hu has men and guns under his command, and they're eyeing me covetously. My current situation at the battlefield..."

Chen Feng gave a wry smile. "To be honest, we can't hold on much longer."
