{Chapter: 115 Calling the young master's name while asleep!}
Ye Feng clenched his fists, his thoughts simmering with frustration. Why is everything going wrong for me these days?!
He had envisioned his return to China as a triumphant moment, a dragon soaring through the skies. Yet before he could even showcase his skills, he found himself ensnared—literally.
Bound tightly in a net, he struggled in vain.
The men in black who had intercepted him were from Lin Yuan's faction.
Everyone in the city recognized Lin Yuan's car.
As soon as Lin Yuan arrived, the black-clad enforcers rushed over to report Ye Feng's situation to him.
Even before hearing their explanation, Lin Yuan had already formed an idea of what had happened. When he heard Xiao Lian and Xiao He scolding someone, it only confirmed his suspicions.
It was likely another shift in the storyline—an eerie repetition of the humiliation Ye Feng had suffered at the gate of Yan Ruyue's house.
Originally, in the script of fate, Ye Feng and Qiu Wanxi were supposed to meet and develop a bond. However, due to Lin Yuan's interference, their relationship had taken a completely different turn—Qiu Wanxi now loathed Ye Feng with every fiber of her being.
Without even sparing Ye Feng a glance, Lin Yuan walked straight toward Qiu Wanxi, Xiao Lian, and Xiao He.
Qiu Wanxi, who had been preoccupied, immediately sensed Lin Yuan's presence.
The moment she saw him, her eyes sparkled with delight.
She dashed toward him excitedly.
"Young Master! You're here?!" Qiu Wanxi's voice rang with unmistakable joy, her face lighting up like a flower blooming under the morning sun.
Lin Yuan responded with a soft smile and affectionately ruffled Qiu Wanxi's silky hair.
Then, without hesitation, he pulled her into his embrace.
Xiao Lian and Xiao He gasped in surprise at the sudden intimacy, while Qiu Wanxi's cheeks instantly turned scarlet.
"Young Master…?"
Hearing Qiu Wanxi's voice, Ye Feng turned his head toward her.
At first, he didn't think much of it. He assumed she was just a girl from an ordinary background, someone who couldn't possibly afford to own a cake shop on her own. He wanted to see which wealthy benefactor was 'raising' this beauty.
The moment his gaze fell upon Lin Yuan, however, his mind blanked.
'Lin Yuan?!'
'Why is Lin Yuan here again?!'
Ye Feng stood frozen in disbelief.
He had already been humiliated by Lin Yuan that morning, and now, fate had conspired to make them cross paths again in the afternoon?!
To make matters worse, Lin Yuan barely spoke, yet Qiu Wanxi blushed deeply and tiptoed to plant a soft kiss on his cheek.
Ye Feng's heart twisted into a knot.
Just moments ago, Qiu Wanxi had looked at him with utter disgust, yet now, she nestled into Lin Yuan's arms with complete trust and affection.
The contrast was unbearable.
A storm of emotions churned inside Ye Feng—anger, jealousy, and a deep sense of injustice.
At that moment, Lin Yuan shifted his gaze toward him, his expression calm, yet laced with a hint of mockery.
That one glance pierced straight through Ye Feng's pride.
It was as if Lin Yuan wasn't even acknowledging him as an equal, as if he were nothing more than an insignificant nuisance.
Ye Feng's breathing grew erratic.
His rage boiled over, but he was helpless—Lin Yuan's bodyguards surrounded him like an impenetrable fortress.
'Why do all the beautiful women flock to this second-generation rich kid?!'
'Why does everyone hate me so much?!'
'Yet they smile at him?!'
'What's so great about him?!'
'Sluts!'
'You're all nothing but shameless whores!'
His vision blurred with anger, his chest rising and falling in labored breaths.
Unable to bear it any longer, he stormed toward his car, yanked open the door, and sped off without another word.
Lin Yuan didn't even spare him a second thought.
Instead, he tightened his arms around Qiu Wanxi, as if sealing her presence within his grasp.
After the trouble with Qiu Wanxi's aunt and uncle, Lin Yuan had taken extra precautions to prevent such incidents from happening again. He had stationed his most trusted bodyguards outside the shop, armed and vigilant, ensuring that no one could harass or threaten Qiu Wanxi again.
Ye Feng's presence was nothing more than a minor annoyance.
"Young Master… let's go inside. There are so many people watching…"
Although Qiu Wanxi relished the warmth of Lin Yuan's embrace, she still felt shy being so openly affectionate in public.
"Alright." Lin Yuan chuckled softly, then, without warning, swept her off her feet and carried her inside.
Xiao Lian and Xiao He, still giddy with excitement, quickly put up a "Temporarily Closed" sign before hurrying after them.
Once inside, Lin Yuan casually asked, "So, what exactly happened just now?"
Although his bodyguards had already given him a summary, he wanted to hear the details directly.
Xiao Lian immediately jumped in. "That guy kept staring at the store manager from the moment he walked in. His eyes were disgusting."
Xiao He nodded in agreement. "Exactly! He tried to strike up a conversation and even asked for sister Wanxi's contact information. We shut him down instantly! Sister Wanxi is so beautiful—of course, she attracts unwanted attention."
Xiao Lian smirked. "Good thing the young master was smart enough to assign guards. Otherwise, these creeps would keep trying to bother us. Now, they don't even dare step out of line."
Xiao He giggled. "Oh, and the gentle store manager turns into a fierce little tigress when dealing with these pests. She doesn't even hesitate to kick them out. It's obvious she only has eyes for the young master!"
Xiao Lian added teasingly, "That's why, young master, you better treat our store manager well."
Qiu Wanxi, who had been listening silently, turned bright red, the blush spreading all the way to her ears.
Xiao Lian wasn't finished. With a mischievous grin, she said, "Besides, every night, the store manager calls the young master's name in her dreams. If you don't believe me, ask Xiao He."
Xiao He eagerly nodded. "It's true! But let me add something—Xiao Lian also calls the young master's name in her sleep and even mutters that she doesn't mind sharing him with the store manager!"
Xiao Lian's eyes widened in horror. "You traitor! You do the same thing! Yelling 'young master' in your sleep like a lovesick fool!"
Xiao He shot back, "You're the fool!"
"No, you're the fool!"
As the two girls bickered, Lin Yuan and Qiu Wanxi couldn't help but chuckle.
Lin Yuan smirked and said, "No need to fight. I'll spoil you both equally. I'm still in my early twenties, after all—I can handle it."
Both Xiao Lian and Xiao He turned beet red.
"H-Hooligan!"
"Shameless!"
Shrieking in embarrassment, they bolted out of the room.
Now, only Lin Yuan and Qiu Wanxi remained.
Lin Yuan playfully patted his thigh. "Come sit."
"Okay, young master." Qiu Wanxi blushed, but still obediently came over and sat on Lin Yuan's thigh and was hugged by Lin Yuan. Blushing, allowing him to embrace her once more.
Feeling the warmth of his body, her heart pounded like a drum.
Since breaking past her reservations at the amusement park, Qiu Wanxi's affection for Lin Yuan had reached a staggering 99.
Their relationship had grown significantly closer—something that was now impossible to hide.
