Yingzi's anger made Fei Hu realize that he had gone too far, inadvertently dragging others into his troubles. He hurriedly said into the phone, "I'm sorry, Yingzi. I don't know how it happened, but I accidentally put my phone on silent and missed a lot of calls. I just woke up and saw the time, that's when I realized my phone was ringing."
"Alright, you always have an excuse. Grandpa asked me to pass on a message to you. I'm really sorry about today; he has come to understand that Ye Xiaofei was being used. However, she got drunk today and is still crying in her room. In fact, she is more heartbroken than you are," Yingzi said, her tone softening as it seemed she was also a bit moved.
Fei Hu paused for a moment and replied, "Please tell Grandpa that I'm fine now and that nothing is wrong. You've been running around and must be tired; get some rest! But starting today, remember this: never tell me anything about Ye Xiaofei's family matters. If you need anything, just let me know, and I'll be there immediately." After saying this, Fei Hu hung up the phone.
Leaning against the sofa, Fei Hu sat still for a while before suddenly remembering that he needed to call A-Lian to let her know he was okay; otherwise, she would start worrying about him again. When he called, A-Lian was very happy to see it was Fei Hu calling. They chatted for a bit, and amidst the pleasant conversation, Fei Hu hung up.
"Did you have a good chat? You smell like alcohol in those clothes; don't wear them anymore. I'll wash them for you right away; it won't take long. Just sit here without anything on!" Alice had just finished her shower and walked over in a loose bathrobe, smiling brightly.
Fei Hu awkwardly grabbed a cushion from the sofa and placed it over his lap before smiling and saying, "The book says beauty is appetizing; it seems that's a lie. Right now, I feel like eating you isn't working at all; in fact, I'm getting hungrier." Fei Hu said with a mischievous grin at Alice.
Despite her appearance as a wealthy lady, Alice was very efficient when it came to chores. In no time at all, she had washed all of Fei Hu's clothes and dried them. She took them out and tossed them at him saying, "Alright, you can put these on now. After we eat, I'll take you to my beauty salon so you can see the beauties there."
The idea of seeing beautiful women was quite tempting for Fei Hu, but he knew better than to show himself in public because Ye Wu and Ye Wei were still after him. It seemed the only way out was to disappear from City A.
As Alice spoke, she began changing clothes right in front of Fei Hu. This woman was truly bold; in her mind, everything between men and women was perfectly natural and needed no concealment. Watching her fair, voluptuous body made Fei Hu's heart race uncontrollably. He suddenly lunged forward and tightly embraced Alice from behind, his breathing becoming rapid again.
Alice gently kissed him on the cheek and softly said, "You're amazing; you'll never be satisfied. Just hold on! When we get back tonight, I'll give you everything." With that, Alice wriggled free from Fei Hu's grasp and walked toward the bedroom.
Sitting on the sofa feeling a bit bored, Fei Hu turned on the TV. After a while, Alice appeared before him looking completely different. She wore a floral dress that looked both elegant and sophisticated. She smiled and said, "Come on! Why are you still watching TV? Do you think I'm not pretty enough?"
"You look absolutely stunning! But I don't want to go out; to be honest with you, I've gotten into some trouble and I'm afraid if I go out they might find me and drag you into it too. How about this? You eat first and then pack some food for me to take home while I watch TV here," Fei Hu said helplessly.
Alice walked over and grabbed Fei Hu's hand, saying as she pulled him along, "Let's go! What’s there to be afraid of? In A City, I don’t believe anyone can turn the world upside down. I want to see who dares to touch you." "Wow! Alice has quite the attitude. Could she also be involved in the underworld?"
Fei Hu hesitated for a moment but still stood up. It couldn't be that coincidental, right? He hadn't been around for such a long time; could it be that they had someone watching this place all along? With that thought, Fei Hu followed Alice toward the entrance.
This neighborhood was great in many ways, except for the lack of parking spaces. Alice's upscale car could only be parked on the street outside the community. However, it had been parked there for quite some time without any issues, indicating that the security in this area was pretty good.
As soon as Fei Hu got into the car, Alice turned on the music inside. A light melody began to echo throughout the vehicle; it was really nice. This was the difference between being wealthy and not. The car glided smoothly along the overpass, and looking out at the beautiful night scenery made Fei Hu suddenly feel that life could actually be quite wonderful; he just hadn’t grasped it before.
"You give me a very mysterious vibe. What exactly do you do? You're not some kind of social drifter, are you?" Alice suddenly asked Fei Hu.
Fei Hu chuckled and replied, "Do I look like one?"
"A social drifter doesn’t have any tattoos on their face, so it’s not really about looking like one. But if you don’t have a legitimate job right now, you might as well hang out with me. The benefits are definitely better than when you were a security guard."
Hearing Alice say this, Fei Hu understood her intention. However, it was clear to anyone that he was currently like a cloud drifting aimlessly in the sky. With a mischievous smile, Fei Hu lightly asked, "Are you trying to hit on me?"
"Please! That’s a different matter altogether. I didn’t realize you were so bad at heart," Alice laughed as she suddenly turned the car sharply and then slammed on the brakes, stopping right in front of Royal Family.
Fei Hu couldn’t help but gasp in surprise. Did they really need to be so extravagant just for dinner? While he was still in shock, Alice nudged him and said, "Come on! Why are you dazed? I'm treating you to dinner; it's not like I'm asking you to do something bad. Is there even a need to think about it?" Fei Hu shook his head helplessly and jumped out of the car.
As he followed Alice inside, Fei Hu pondered how he had ended up like this. He felt like a stray dog while everyone he met seemed to be wealthy, especially these women who were all affluent. Was it true that the richest people in the world were all women? Fei Hu couldn’t quite figure it out.
Alice walked inside while greeting the lobby manager; it seemed she was a regular here. This only added to Fei Hu's confusion—how did a woman who owned a beauty salon have so much money? Just as he was lost in thought, they arrived at the room Alice had reserved. The waiter welcomed them in and then closed the door behind them as they entered.
Fei Hu asked, somewhat confused, "It seems you didn't book a room? How did they know you were coming to eat, and just brought you here without asking for your order? It's a bit surprising."
"Oh! I forgot to mention, I have a small stake in this hotel. I guess I'm considered a minor shareholder! This room is usually reserved for me. If there are many guests and they need to use it, they have to call me in advance. So when I come here with one or two people, there's no need to order; they just bring the food directly. I've arranged everything beforehand anyway. It's just a few dishes, and ordering them can be quite a hassle, don't you think?" Alice said casually, but Fei Hu's mouth dropped open in astonishment.
This world is truly crazy; everyone is a strong woman or a wealthy lady. It seems he has fallen into a pile of rich women in this lifetime. Fei Hu felt a bit regretful about his own lack of ambition.
The setting was grand but not overly extravagant—just a few exquisite small dishes along with a nutritious soup. Alice symbolically took a couple of bites, while Fei Hu cleared the rest of the table. Even so, he felt that he hadn't eaten enough; the portions were simply too small.
Suddenly, Fei Hu's phone rang. He pulled it out and saw that it was Bald Zhang calling. His expression changed; if this guy was calling, it surely meant trouble. Taking a deep breath, he answered the phone and heard Bald Zhang shouting on the other end, "Boss! Where are you right now? Miss Zhang wants to invite you to dinner tonight. She said as long as you give her the address, she'll send a driver to pick you up."
"Wait, wait, wait! Don't make any promises on your own! I've had a series of events happen today; I'll tell you about them when I have time. Right now, I'm having dinner with a friend and really can't spare any time. Besides, I'm not in the mood for it at all. I'll invite her another time," Fei Hu said quickly, hanging up before Bald Zhang could respond.
Fei Hu thought for a moment that he should turn off his phone; otherwise, this guy would call back again or Zhang Jia might call him directly, which would make it hard for him to refuse since she was inviting him to dinner and not asking him to fight.
Alice watched all of Fei Hu's actions clearly and smiled as she said, "You really have quite the social circle; so many people want to invite you to dinner. It seems you're doing well for yourself—are you involved in some sort of organization? You seem like a little boss. It must be an exciting life, but remember that those who often walk by the river will inevitably get their feet wet. You need to be careful; those who fall down and can't get back up are usually young fools like you; those who last two years are generally the big shots," Alice explained confidently.
This woman didn't seem simple at all; Fei Hu couldn't help but look at her twice.
After finishing dinner, it was almost nine o'clock. Fei Hu really wanted to go home and sleep since he had been quite tired all afternoon. However, Alice insisted on taking him to visit her Beauty Parlor. To be honest, Fei Hu didn't want to go because he had been to Xia Yan's Beauty Parlor before and thought they were probably all similar—just different levels of quality. Was her beauty salon run by astronauts or something?
Thinking of this made Fei Hu chuckle inwardly.
