Feng Yiran left in a hurry before Feng Wu could say anything. To him, the mayor was a superior figure.
“Little Feng Wu.” Feng Xun poked Feng Wu in the head.
“What?” Rubbing her forehead where Feng Xun had just jabbed her with his finger, Feng Wu glared at Feng Xun with her clear, pretty eyes.
“Tsk, tsk, tsk —” Feng Xun pursed his lips. “That’s so not like you. Back then, Feng Yiran used to hang on your every word. You just let him treat you like that now? You’re not mad?”
Feng Wu rolled her eyes, irritated. “… Aren’t you people ever going to leave?”
Feng Xun gloated. “We were going to leave after that meal, but this is getting more and more interesting. How can we leave now? Hahaha —”
Feng Wu smacked her forehead. Turning around, she met Jun Linyuan’s brooding eyes… before she knew it, her back went stiff.
For some unknown reason, despite how daring Feng Wu was, whenever Jun Linyuan turned those enigmatic eyes on her, she couldn’t help but cringe a little.
Seeing that Feng Wu had turned away from him, Feng Xun was bored again. He poked her with a finger, then poked her again.
“What?” Feng Wu snapped and threw a dirty look at Feng Xun.
“Is it true? Bi Yunfei wants to make you his daughter-in-law?” Feng Xun asked curiously.
Feng Wu took a deep breath.
Just then, Feng Yiran showed a smiling Mayor Bi into the courtyard.
The mayor appeared to be an amiable middle-aged man. He had nice features and was smiling broadly; he seemed to give off a completely harmless air.
However, Feng Xun pursed his lips.
To be able to rule a city, especially one on the border like Northern Border City, Bi Yunfei had to be so much more than he appeared.
As expected, Bi Yunfei went up to them and saluted Jun Linyuan deferentially.
Jun Linyuan sat in the host seat with an impassive face, paying little attention to the all-smiling Mayor Bi.
No one found Jun Linyuan arrogant, for he had always been like that.
Mayor Bi then greeted Feng Xun. “Young Lord Feng, it has been a while since we last met in the imperial capital. The last time I saw you, you were only seven. You’re already a grown-up now.”
Feng Xun looked the mayor up and down, examining the latter closely.
Mayor Bi was a little jittery at Feng Xun’s searching look. “Young Lord… have I displeased you in some way?”
Feng Xun rubbed his chin and asked unhurriedly, “I was told that Mayor Bi has a son.”
Mayor Bi’s stomach lurched. His son had a condition: he had been born with cerebral palsy and his intelligence remained at the level of a five-year-old. However, the young man’s favorite was pretty girls, and he couldn’t eat without one at the table. Hence, the mayor had had his eye on Feng Wu.
Mayor Bi looked from Jun Linyuan to Feng Wu.
Back then, the entire continent had been informed of the engagement between Jun Linyuan and Feng Wu. Later, the incident with Feng Wu also became public knowledge. Everyone knew that both the royal family and the crown prince himself had given up on Feng Wu.
Mayor Bi then saw Jun Linyuan staring at Feng Wu furiously, which delighted him!
He had chosen to visit today not only to ingratiate himself with the crown prince, but also to sound out Jun Linyuan’s reaction, so that he could decide whether or not to force Feng Wu to marry his son later.
Judging from the look on the crown prince’s face, he abhorred Feng Wu…
Mayor Bi smiled broadly at that thought. “That’s right, I do have a son. Unfortunately, he still isn’t married and it’s been bothering me. His well-being is my biggest concern.”
Feng Xun gave him a half-smile. “What do you think of Feng Wu?”
