Capítulo 83: His Contradicting Thought

Feng Xiao Qing was dumbfounded by his reasoning, but the more she thought about it... the more that she felt that he didn't say anything wrong. She also treated this fake relationship seriously. She bit her lips, feeling guilty all of a sudden --- even though she actually didn't do anything that she should feel sorry about.

"I'm not going to put a green hat on you..." Feng Xiao Qing trailed off. It seemed like she should tell him a little bit of the truth? "I actually have a really important matter to talk about with him..."

"What matter?" Lu Yi Feng asked curiously. He was curious whether she would tell him the truth or not. The women that he knew before her always spouting nonsense or lie in order to gain his trust --- he just hoped that Feng Xiao Qing wasn't that kind of woman.

"I... I met with an old friend about the arson..." Feng Xiao Qing said in a soft voice. She decided to tell him the truth --- but of course, it wouldn't be about her gangster life.

"Arson? Is it about your house?" Lu Yi Feng asked.

Feng Xiao Qing nodded hesitantly. "Yes..."

"Is there something wrong about the arson?" Lu Yi Feng asked. He didn't think that it was a serious case of arson, so he didn't really pay attention to it. It seemed like there was more to it.

"I... I'm afraid that someone is deliberately targetting me and I ask for my friend's help to check on it," Feng Xiao Qing admitted. She skipped the part where she threatened her so-called old friend to investigate this matter.

Lu Yi Feng furrowed his eyebrows. "Why didn't you ask for my help?"

Feng Xiao Qing was dumbfounded by his question. 'Eh? She can ask for his help?' She thought in surprise. However, she shook her head. She didn't want to depend on a man --- especially with a man that she had just known. She still felt thankful for Lu Yi Feng's offer though, after all, he didn't really need to do that.

"I... I don't want to become your burden. You have helped us a lot for the past few days and I can't take it for granted," Feng Xiao Qing said honestly. That was indeed her true feeling for this man. She felt complicated because of his kindness. She knew that Lu Yi Feng wasn't that generous, to begin with --- he was only nice to the people that got along well with him and it was quite rare.

Could they be considered as close to each other? She honestly didn't know about that.

Lu Yi Feng nodded when he heard what she had said. He indeed found her more and more pleasing to the eyes. "So... who is this friend?" Lu Yi Feng asked once again.

'Eh? Why are we back to this again?' Feng Xiao Qing thought to herself. She didn't think much about it. Judging from Lu Yi Feng's status, it would be weird if he didn't feel wary about it.

"He's an old friend that good at investigating people," Feng Xiao Qing answered.

"Ah... a personal investigator?" Lu Yi Feng asked.

"You could say that..." Feng Xiao Qing grinned at the man. Du Fu also had that line of works, so besides a gangster, he was also a personal investigator. She wasn't lying about that...

"If you want to meet up with him, you can tell me. At least, let me arrange someone to protect you. Going out at night isn't safe!" Lu Yi Feng said. He added silently to himself that he also wanted the person that he arranged for her to tell him what she was doing.

Feng Xiao Qing nodded. "Actually... I don't have to meet him face to face again. I can just call him for the updates. It's just that I lost contact with him and just recently asked my friend about him. That's why I have to meet him face to face to show my goodwill." Feng Xiao Qing explained.

If Du Fu knew that what she did just now was called a sign of goodwill by Feng Xiao Qing, he would definitely vomit blood due to anger.

Lu Yi Feng nodded. "It's better that way," he said. "If you need my help, you can just tell me." Lu Yi Feng didn't forget to offer his help once more. As a man, he should take responsibilities of her fake girlfriend --- after all, he had all the resources needed. He just felt a bit confused about why she was unlike other women who always tried to exploit their men's resources, but in a way, he also felt relief because of that.

He started to think that he had become crazier with his weird thought about Feng Xiao Qing and the way he kept contradicting himself. Lu Yi Feng felt that he really needed to talk to Tang Yi Jun about this confusing matter.

Feng Xiao Qing thought to herself, 'So... does it mean that he lets go if this matter?' She stood up hesitantly, not knowing what to do next. She bit her lower lips and decided to ask in a meek voice, "So... can I go inside my room and sleep now?"

Lu Yi Feng nodded. "Go..."

After Feng Xiao Qing went out of his sight, he sat down once again and tried to sort out his thought. Lu Yi Feng wasn't that stupid or oblivious, he knew that Feng Xiao Qing probably didn't lie to him, but she certainly didn't let him know the whole truth.

He really needed to let someone investigate Feng Xiao Qing and he probably should start with the arson.
