Chapter 92: The Mayor
Editor: Henyee Translations
Feng Wu was crying "no" in her head and secretly begging them to leave. She really needed to start on that Nine Transformation Spirit Restoration Pill now…
Hence, the look on her face was rather conflicted.
Feng Xun took it as evidence that he had seen through Feng Wu and he gloated. "I was right. You do have a crush on our Boss Jun. You dishonest woman. Try to cover that up now!"
Feng Wu took a deep breath, clenched her fists, and tried her best to restrain herself.
Wiping his mouth clean, Feng Xun rose to his feet, went up to Feng Wu, and patted her on the shoulder. "Gosh, why are you so shy about it? Girls have crushes on Boss Jun all the time. You'd be an oddball if you didn't. Moreover, you two are eng…"
"Ahem!" Jun Linyuan raise a fist to his mouth and cleared his throat.
Feng Xun took the hint right away. He turned and darted a glance at Jun Linyuan.
Very clever, Boss Jun! By not telling Feng Wu about the engagement, he had the option to marry her, but could still sign the annulment papers if he decided not to. He had the upper hand – it was brilliant!
Feng Wu had no choice but to plead with Feng Xun. "So… when are you guys leaving?"
Feng Xun glanced at the empty plates and realized that if they left now, he might never have another chance to have something this delicious again… No, he wouldn't have it. He had to think of an excuse to stay!
Darting a contemptuous glance at Feng Wu, Feng Xun said, "Since you're begging for us to stay, we'll…"
Just then, footsteps came from outside.
The old steward of the Feng clan arrived. After looking at Feng Wu and Feng Yiran in turn… he went up to Feng Wu in the end and whispered something in her ear.
Before Feng Wu could say anything, Feng Xiaoqi cried out and jumped to his feet. "What? The mayor's here?! He's not making trouble for us again, is he?!"
Feng Xun frowned. "Isn't Bi Yunfei the mayor of Northern Border City? Isn't Old Bi a good-tempered chap? Why would he make things difficult for you?"
Feng Xiaoqi rolled his eyes. "Of course he's nice to you. You're a young lord! To us, he's anything but nice. He's been trying to marry my sister to that retarded son of his!"
"Xiaoqi!" Feng Wu chided.
"What?!" That displeased Feng Xun right away! Who would cook for him if little Feng Wu here was married off to some guy? Would he have to come all the way to the mayor's manor if he wanted to enjoy Feng Wu's cooking? That would be bestowing too big a favor on Bi Yunfei!
Feng Wu sighed inwardly.
She had thought that she could happily move on to her Nine Transformation Spirit Restoration Pill after the meal, but things just kept coming up and she couldn't do anything to stop them… Had she known that things would turn out this way, Feng Wu would never have cooked in the first place.
Feng Wu waved at the steward. "Let the mayor know that we're entertaining some respected guests here and this isn't a good time for him to visit. Tell him to go back —"
Feng Yiran frowned and cut her off. "Feng Wu, you can't just send the mayor away without consulting me!"
Feng Wu frowned at Feng Yiran.
Feng Yiran snorted. "I invited the honorable mayor of Northern Border City here myself. He's paying this special visit because the crown prince is here. You can't see the man even if you wanted to on any other day. How dare you refuse him!"
Chapter 93: What Do You Think of Feng Wu?

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?"
