At first, no one said anything. The entire hall was silent and every person present looked intently at the movements of the young man who had dared not only to take the cars of more than thirty people with great financial or political power but had also dared to mercilessly slap the young master heir of the Lin family.

This young man had provoked the wrath of Nangong Wentian, one of the most powerful beings in the world and one of the guardians of China. Not only did he provoke the current patriarch of the Nangong Family, but he was also bold enough to kiss in front of so many people the person who was apparently the fiancée of the next heir to the position of leader of the Nangong Family. Everyone was sure that this handsome young man and the Nangong Family would definitely be enemies to the death.

​​

But the main problem here was that no one believed that this young man could survive the wrath of a giant tyrant like the Nangongs.... As if that wasn't enough, he didn't seem satisfied with provoking Nangong Wentian so he went looking for trouble with other giants in the financial or political world.

This guy's nerves were made of steel? He didn't know what fear of danger was? Wasn't he afraid of involving his family because of his attitude? Many people secretly shook their heads, thinking that young people really should act more sensibly.

Even if most of those who lost the bet with Xie Feng were not upset about losing a few million dollars, many of them might also be angry about losing their favorite car.

For example; the Rolls Royce Heavenly Demon was such an exclusive car that there were only five in the whole world! One could imagine the amount of power and contacts one needed to obtain it.... But this young man took it from its owner in less than five minutes?

Naturally, Xie Feng was not concerned about these people's thoughts. Right now, he was looking the little red-haired beauty straight in the eyes.

As for Yao Mei, she was also staring Xie Feng straight in the eyes. It was as if she wanted to find out what he was thinking or what his intentions were; this surprised Yao Xiyu so much that he looked at his daughter with wide eyes, unable to believe that his daughter actually seemed interested in a person.

Not only Yao Xiyu was surprised, but Yao Zenyu and Beiming Fei also looked at Yao Mei with some surprise as well. Especially Yao Zenyu; he and Nangong Lei knew perfectly well that Xie Feng was actually Shiva in the virtual world after learning Xie Yao's identity and associating him with Gu Qianxue who was currently living with him.

To say that they were practically mortal enemies was not an exaggeration considering that Xie Feng had killed them both and ridiculed them in front of the whole world.... But now, the sister of one of them and cousin of the other was interested in their enemy? Neither of them wanted to believe it.

"To be honest, I didn't bring any gifts." Xie Feng was the first to break the silence.

"Actually, I wouldn't even have to be here." Ignoring everyone's reaction, he continued talking calmly, "The only reason I came to this party is for Qianxue's sake, as for saying something like 'Happy Birthday!' with a fake smile.... I'm sorry, but it's not my style unlike many people here."

Xie Feng's voice was firm, clear, and calm. His initial words might have made him look bad, but his final words made the people present to understand what he meant. Since he had no reason to be here, it meant that he was not close to Yao Mei in any way, so why should he act falsely in front of her?

Just the fact that he acted sincerely caused several elders could not help but nod silently. An upright personality was something necessary to be successful because even if the truth was cruel, it was better than a false lie that could fall down the next second.

Xie Feng smiled slightly and his eyes looked at Yao Mei strangely as he said, "Well, anyway I think my gift will at least be better than some junk bracelet over there."

Yao Mei's gaze unconsciously turned to the floor. There, the now useless bracelet lay discarded and neglected. Before, even she was slightly surprised by Lin Tian's gift; but that was all, a bit of a surprise. She didn't need the protection of any tool to survive, after all, she was one of the strongest people in China and probably the whole world!

Lin Tian had disappeared. After being so embarrassed, he silently retreated somewhere, taking the opportunity that no one was looking at him. He no longer had the face to stay in the hall, let alone see the face of the one he loved.... Perhaps, what he did was right or else he would have to meet Yao Mei's slightly disdainful eyes.

"Anyway, little princess of the Yao family. This is my gift." Xie Feng held up the tray filled with keys belonging to several luxury vehicles.

Yao Mei did not immediately approach. She looked at the tray indifferently. Even if those cars out there were the best in the world, even if their value was even greater since a minute ago they belonged to financial and political giants, she had no interest.

Xie Feng stood there for almost five whole seconds and even began to feel somewhat embarrassed. His current position looked like that of a servant lifting a tray of fruit.... Damn it, hurry up already, girl! That was what he felt like shouting.

Suddenly, Yao Mei seemed to think of something since her eyes flashed slightly and she advanced forward without waiting for her father's consent. By the time Yao Xiyu wanted to stop her, she had already taken several steps and was only a few meters away from Xie Feng.

What surprised everyone the most was that Yao Mei did not stop on the stage, in contrast, she began to descend the stairs slowly. Her light blue dress attracted everyone's attention like a magnet attracting metal; her body too sexy for a girl of her age together with her beautiful face with clear traces of immaturity had also become a fatal attraction for any man.

Even Xie Feng was forced to inwardly admit Yao Mei's beauty as he observed her descending the stairs and walking towards him. Before, he might have had his doubts about her ranking 4th as the most beautiful woman in China at the age of only 14, but now that he had seen her in person, he had no choice but to be honest and nod secretly.

In fact, Yao Mei would probably even be more beautiful than Xie Yao and Gu Qianxue if things followed a normal course. Reaching the level of an immortal beauty like Shen Xinya was not a dream either.

The distance shortened quickly and both of them looked at each other for a moment in silence. Actually, Xie Feng already wanted to return to his seat and relax, but for some reason unknown to him this girl seemed to have some sort of special interest in his eyes since she kept staring at them strangely.

Xie Feng made a small gesture to tell Yao Mei to quickly take the gift, but she ignored him.

For a moment, the atmosphere had become somewhat strange.

People began to mutter under their breath and the young men who had a crush on Yao Mei felt like spitting out a liter of blood.... However, what happened next made instead of wanting to spit out a liter of blood they wanted to spit out two or three liters and die on the spot.

Yao Mei suddenly extended her silky white hand like the purest pearl in the world and, just when everyone thought she was going to take the small silver tray, her hand went further and took Xie Feng's hand.

Even Xie Feng was stunned and his mind went blank for a moment.

What happened!? Was what everyone was thinking while gawking at the scene in front of them. Yao Xiyu and Yao Zenyu especially; both of them were so dumbfounded that they even rubbed their eyes to make sure they were not seeing mirages.

Their daughter and younger sister was interested in a man? No way! Worst of all; she seemed interested in that source of the walking disaster? Definitely couldn't be! Yao Xiyu almost fainted right there when he felt the pressure on his body increase several folds while Yao Zenyu was stunned.

Even after several seconds, Yao Mei still hadn't withdrawn her hand and continued to touch Xie Feng.

Cough...

Xie Feng coughed slightly to clear his throat and, while looking at the 15 years old girl in front of him, slowly said, "Little Princess Yao, actually, you are very beautiful. Unfortunately, you are still too young. But if you are still interested in me after a few years, you can look me up."

Total shamelessness!

Even if Yao Mei showed any kind of interest towards him, this young man actually had the nerve to say those words even after claiming tooth and claw that Gu Pojun's daughter was his woman! Damn it, this guy wanted to take the daughters of the strongest men in the country? That was what everyone was roaring in their minds. Especially the young men, they wanted to tear Xie Feng to death and eat his flesh!

Unfortunately, none of them dared.

Yao Mei retracted her hand silently with no apparent change in her face after hearing Xie Feng's words. She took the small silver tray and backed away silently.... But before leaving, she gave Xie Feng one last glance with bright eyes as if she had discovered something.

"Em?" Xie Feng blinked as he watched her silently return to the stage. Did it seem to him or had this Yao Mei girl just smiled?
