Xu Changjian, carrying heavy luggage, huffed and puffed as he caught up, saying, "Xue'er, I've told you before, he's just a good-for-nothing moocher from our Xu family, a country bumpkin. Let me carry you instead, and let him deal with the luggage."

This time, Lin Xue'er ignored him.

Qin Feng also asked, "Why didn't you let him carry it?"

"Let's get moving!"

Lin Xue'er, frustrated, slapped him lightly.

She didn't let Xu Changjian carry her because she felt a strong sense of filthy desire from him and the others, despite their good pretense.

But she didn't see that in Qin Feng's eyes.

And his wife was here, so it was safe for him to carry her.

Seeing that Lin Xue'er was ignoring him, Xu Changjian felt very frustrated and thought to himself, "Smug, aren't you? Just wait, I'll get you back for this!"

Under Captain Wang's urging, everyone continued onward.

The path ahead was a long downhill slope.

And it was a tough walk.

With every step Qin Feng took, Lin Xue'er, riding on his back, would instinctively squeeze a little closer to him.

The weather was scorching.

Everyone was dressed lightly.

Lin Xue'er had a voluptuous figure, the kind that wouldn't need to buy formula for five years after having a child, and it didn't take long for Qin Feng to feel something unusual, his face flushing slightly, he said to her, "Can't you walk a little steadier?"

"Please, this road is so rough, I'm already the steadiest," Qin Feng replied.

Xu Yunxiao came over, concerned, and asked, "Xue'er, why is your face so red? Are you feeling unwell?"

"No, it's not…"

Lin Xue'er was also embarrassed.

She really wanted to get off Qin Feng's back, but her physical weakness made it impossible for her to walk on her own, so she endured it awkwardly, letting Qin Feng take advantage of her...

Finally.

The sun was about to set.

Under Captain Wang's leadership, people found an open space by the river to spend the night.

Everyone was exhausted and collapsed to the ground, crying out in discomfort.

Only Qin Feng didn't look the slightest bit tired; on the contrary, he seemed to have received some delightful news as he set up the tent while humming a tune cheerfully, "There's a toad in the river croaking, bothering grandpa's heart, catch a few to accompany my drink, gulp, croak, and they're all gone…"

An exhausted Xu Yunxiao asked out of curiosity, "Qin Feng, what are you so happy about?"

"Don't mention it!"

Lin Xue'er suddenly turned flushed and said somewhat indignantly.

She thought Qin Feng was secretly pleased about taking liberties with her all afternoon and immediately felt intense disdain when she glanced at him, even believing that the composure he showed when carrying her was all an act, that he was lecherous inside!

"What's wrong?"

Xu Yunxiao was somewhat bewildered, not understanding what she was nervous about.

Qin Feng was also clueless about what she was talking about and said with a smile, "Oh, I'm happy to be of service to my wife."

After that. P@u@b$l$i%ca-t+ion co$u*r-t$e^s!y@ of *.-

He continued to hum a tune while setting up the tent.

Xu Changjian, not far away, was filled with loathing as he watched.

He also thought Qin Feng was excited because he got to take advantage of Lin Xue'er all afternoon, hence not feeling tired.

Actually.

Qin Feng was happy because he could spend the night with his wife Xu Yunxiao.

When he was buying tents.

He had purposely bought a small one, just big enough to squeeze two people in, the kind where you can't even turn over.

I mean, who sleeps without moving all night long?

If you turn over in the middle of the night, it's normal.

Upon turning, your legs, arms, and the like would press against the other, resulting in a hug, wouldn't it?

The good days he had dreamt of for three years had finally come!

How could Qin Feng not be excited?

Very soon.

The tents were set up.

Qin Feng immediately invited Xu Yunxiao to check out the tent.

"The tent you bought, why is it so small…"

Xu Yunxiao said.

"It's not that small, it's just right for the two of us," Qin Feng said cheerfully, "Besides, it's outdoors, and it'll be cold at night. It's warmer for two people to squeeze together."

At this moment.

Zhao Yu came over with a few young gentlemen, including Duke who always hated Qin Feng, and said, "Hey, you're pretty fast at setting up the tent, come and help me with mine too!"

While saying that,

he took out two thousand yuan and said, "This is the reward, not bad for someone from the countryside, right?"

Qin Feng glanced at him and ignored him.

"Think it's too little? How about ten thousand!" Zhao Yu took out another stack of money and said, "This sum isn't small, right? It's just for setting up a tent."

"Yeah, don't start jacking up your prices just because you can."

"Exactly, don't get greedy!"

"..."

The other young masters started making a ruckus.

Qin Feng chuckled and said, "I wasn't planning on setting up your tent at all, where did you get the idea that I'm getting greedy?"

"..."

Zhao Yu was infuriated by being rejected by a good-for-nothing.

Meanwhile, Qin Feng continued, "I'm saying, don't think I can't see through your little schemes, trying to send me away, with your eyes on my wife? Aren't you ashamed, as the young master of one of Lake City's top second-tier families, coveting someone else's wife?"

He deliberately raised his voice while speaking, drawing the attention of everyone around them.

Zhao Yu's face turned red with embarrassment.

He had no choice.

Coveting someone else's wife indeed wasn't something to be proud of, especially as the organizer of this adventure activity.

"You, stop slandering me!"

Zhao Yu said angrily.

"Oh, really?"

Qin Feng's eyes had a peculiar look as he leisurely stared at him.

"You, you, a waste, dare to slander me? Are you looking to die?"

Zhao Yu shouted.

Duke also sneered, "Ignorant fool!"

The atmosphere became tense and hostile.

A crowd gathered around to watch the excitement.

Qin Feng's mouth curled into a cold smile as he stood up and said, "Not knowing the vastness of heaven and earth, I think this phrase suits you the best!"

With that,

he secretly pulled out a silver needle in his hand!

At this moment,

Xu Yunxiao also stood up, frowning as she said, "Young Master Zhao, Mr. Du, what are you doing?"

The two of them were taken aback upon hearing this.

Everyone else was also extremely surprised.

Rumors had it that she really detested Qin Feng, the good-for-nothing, and that she hadn't divorced him only because of the Chongxi gratitude. She didn't take him seriously on normal days, so why was she taking his side today?

After a brief pause,

Zhao Yu quickly offered a placating smile, "Yunxiao, what are you talking about? What could we possibly be thinking? It's just that Brother Qin and I hit it off at first sight, it's not a big deal, all a misunderstanding, hehe..."

There was no helping it.

Originally, the Zhao Family never took the Xu family seriously.

But things changed when the Xu family became partners with Haohan Company, especially since Haohan Company seemed to value Xu Yunxiao highly, making other families take notice of the Xu family.

And since Zhao Yu was pursuing Xu Yunxiao, he couldn't afford to fall out with her.

"Let's go!"

Zhao Yu left with his entourage.

Seeing this, Xu Yunxiao discreetly breathed a sigh of relief and complained, "Why did you start a fight with them!"

She was also very nervous inside.

If they really fell out, the Xu family was no match for them.

"It's because that guy had his eyes on you," Qin Feng said with a smile, "You're my wife, even if the King of Heaven came, I would still send him packing."

"Enough of your slick talk! Hurry and go prepare the food!"

Xu Yunxiao rolled her eyes at him.

Despite her complaint about his recklessness, she felt a hidden sweetness in her heart when Qin Feng deliberately embarrassed Zhao Yu just now.

Everyone called him a good-for-nothing.

But it seemed that, for her sake, he truly feared no one...

At that moment,

she looked again at the cramped tent and murmured, "Do I really have to squeeze in there and sleep with him tonight?"

As she spoke,

a blush spread across her beautiful cheeks, like a budding rose...
