บท 21: Chapter 21

"Wait for a second... It's said you've paid. Why did you come here to settle the bill again? It was already paid by a person called Wang Yufei." the cashier noticed that there's already a settlement record on the bottom of the printed receipt.

"It's paid? Seriously?" the boulder of responsibility and cost that was on his heart fell after he listened to what the cashier just said. But at the same time, there's a hint of guilt because that Wang Yufei she mentioned is likely Sister Wang, who accompanied him for a while last night.

'I should look for an opportunity to return the money to her... Taking 14,000 dollars from her just for acting like a hero cost too much...' Zhang Qin Feng felt somewhat guilty for making her spent so much on his hospitalization fee.

"Then... Can you print me a receipt, please? I'm sorry for disturbing you without checking it from my side first." Zhang Qin Feng requested to be given the receipt and left afterward.

He made his way home quickly by taking the expensive taxi waiting outside of the hospital pickup zone. Paying close to fifty dollars for his journey, Zhang Qin Feng went up to his studio in a hurry.

"Damn! I'll have to quickly apply the spray before the pain is killing me." Zhang Qin Feng immediately applies the spray the moment he got home and gets naked.

"Now... Let's rest a little more before I go to my uncle's store to work." closing his eyes for another half an hour nap, Zhang Qin Feng returned his usual routine once more.

"Dururu - Dururu..." his uncle's number was shown on his phone.

"Uncle?" Zhang Qin Feng answered the call.

"Xiao-Feng ah... After you're done with the delivery, go to number 60." after instructing him what to do, his uncle hanged up the call and return to what he was doing.

'This brat... Making this uncle jealous." he chuckled.

...

"Shop number 60? Wasn't that sister Wang's restaurant?" Zhang Qin Feng scratched his head... Remembering that the hospitalization fee cost 14,000 dollars gives him headache all over again.

He went to the shop after he's done with his delivery for today.

"Is sister Wang in?" Zhang Qin Feng asked one of the waiters for Wang Yifei.

"Manager Wang is in her office. If you go up through the stairs over there, you'll see her office straightaway after stepping into the second floor." the waiter answered.

"Thank you." Zhang Qin Feng nodded. Walking up the stairs on his own, he quickly came to the office that belonged to Wang Yufei. There was a hint of hesitation as he stands behind the door.

"What should I say when I saw her?" Zhang Qin Feng asked himself. He wished that Stein could be helpful in this situation.

"Sister Wang, this is Zhang Qin Feng." he knocked on the door.

"Come in." Wang Yufei's reply came. Turning the knob over to open the door, he went inside calmly. Seated in front of him was the busy-looking Wang Yufei with a stack of paperwork in front of her.

"Take a seat first. Or you can make a cup of coffee for yourself while waiting. I'll be finishing soon." Wang Yufei said. Her words made Zhang Qin Feng get comfortable inside her room as he went to the coffee table not too far to brew two cups of coffee for both of them.

He was impressed by her efficiency in getting all her paperwork done without requiring an assistant by her side. It was quiet throughout the entire time until Wang Yufei finally finished signing the last document placed on her table.

"I'm finally done with everything..." Wang Yufei stretched herself. She still had no idea that the way she pulls her arm is a little seductive as it amplifies the sight of her chest and cleavage.

"Coffee, sister Wang." Zhang Qin Feng placed the coffee in front of her while pulling the chair across hers.

"Wow... Smell so good." Wang Yufei took a sniff at the coffee. After savoring it for a moment, she took a gentle sip in a feminine manner.

"Delicious." Wang Yufei said.

"Thank you." Zhang Qin Feng smiled as he looked at her face.

"Are you ready to tell me why you're leaving the hospital in a hurry? Is it because you don't want to feel indebted to me?" asked Wang Yufei.

"Sister Wang, about the hospitalization fee, I'll..."

"I've told you before. Call me Yufei." before Zhang Qin Feng managed to finish his sentence, he was interrupted by Wang Yufei. She insisted that he change the way he's calling her while making a pouting face.

"Ah... This..." Zhang Qin Feng was slightly embarrassed because he had no idea that Wang Yufei would be this persistent.

"Yu - Yufei..." he changed his way of calling her immediately after knowing that she won't give up unless Zhang Qin Feng is doing what she said.

"About the hospitalization fee... I'll find a way to pay you back. Please give me some time to collect enough money." Zhang Qin Feng said.

"What makes you think that I'll be asking you to pay me back? Won't that makes me look petty to a person that saved me twice?" Wang Yufei said.

"But sister Wang... No, Yufei... 14,000 dollars hospitalization fee is indeed a little too much for someone like me. Furthermore, I'm not heavily injured anyway..." he added.

"This too! Who said you're not heavily injured? Even the doctor said you'll have to get at least a month of rest before going back to work. Do you think you're a superman?" Wang Yufei slapped the table from anger.

"Take off your clothes! Let me have a look at your wounds." suddenly, Wang Yufei came to his side and decided to check on his injuries. She was worried to death after hearing his uncle said that he's returned to work this morning.

"Yufei, I'm fine. I'm fine..." Zhang Qin Feng tried to decline her goodwill. He knew that he can't let her see his body right now. It was not because the wound is too hideous to look at but because there are no injuries at all!
