"Hey, Shanshan, don't fight with me for this piece, I got it first."

"Xiaoyue, if you steal food from my bowl again, I won't be polite."

"Xiaoni, don't be so stingy, okay? My arms are short, I can't reach the food," the girl said rather aggrievedly.

"Then take food from Feng's bowl instead."

Ren Feng was stunned, why the heck take from mine?

The next second, the girls around seemed to understand, and all their chopsticks plunged into Ren Feng's bowl. In an instant, the food was gone.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, don't be so ruthless with your hands!"

Ren Feng wailed.

Another round of girlish laughter erupted.

An hour later, they'd finished eating, and the girls obviously enjoyed their meal. The table looked like a scene after an autumn breeze, with only leftovers and plain soup remaining.

After dinner, they left the restaurant, and it was almost 9 PM. Xia Wenxue told the group of girls, "Xiaoyue, you all go back to the hotel first, take a bath and rest."

The girls giggled and agreed. Xia Wenxue also instructed a few male colleagues to protect them.

As the group of girls departed, Xiaoyue noticed Xia Wenxue standing still, and couldn't help but quietly ask the girl next to her, "Xiaoni, why isn't Mr. Xia coming with us?"

"Silly," Xiaoni rolled her eyes at Xiaoyue, "Didn't you see Feng is here too? Mr. Xia is having a fairy tale love moment."

"Oh, so that's how it is." Xiaoyue also got excited.

If Xia Wenxue knew what these two girls were thinking, she'd probably fire them both the next day.

Once all the girls had left, Xia Wenxue softly said to Ren Feng, "Let's take a walk."

Ren Feng, of course, readily agreed, and seeing Xia Wenxue walk ahead, he perked up with excitement.

Whoa, could it be? Is Xue'xue unable to resist my handsome, charming, dashing looks and finally making a move on me?

Oh my, I'm still just a child.

But watching Xia Wenxue walk towards a quiet path, that possibility seemed to increase by ten percent.

Yeah, absolutely, such things usually happen on nights like this, especially on trails like these, natural battlegrounds!

Imagine it: a lone man and woman, dark woods, sparks flying, just the thought is thrilling.

Ren Feng got excited and followed behind Xia Wenxue but then felt conflicted again, wondering if Xue'xue actually pushed him down later, should he resist symbolically, and what position would be best.

Really anxious, does anyone know? Waiting for answers online.

While Ren Feng was lost in wild thoughts, Xia Wenxue suddenly stopped, and unaware, Ren Feng bumped right into her.

Xia Wenxue turned around, looking at Ren Feng.

Is it really about to start?

Ren Feng glanced at the surroundings; it was a small path, although there were streetlights, it was still quite dim. Some bushes around made it a fitting spot.

Ren Feng took a deep breath, steeling himself, and said to Xia Wenxue, "I'm ready, bring it on!"

Xia Wenxue's eyes flashed with confusion, "Bring what on?"

"Xue'xue, didn't you bring me here just for, you know, that? I get it, no need to say more, bring it on, I won't resist," Ren Feng said earnestly.

Xia Wenxue blushed, glaring at Ren Feng, what a jerk, thinking like that?

"I called you over because I have something to discuss," Xia Wenxue said expressionlessly.

Ren Feng felt a bit disappointed, sigh, and it wasn't that.

"So, Xue'xue, what is it?" Ren Feng asked with a playful smile.

Xia Wenxue took a moment to choose her words, then said, "I think your actions haven't been appropriate."

"What actions?"

"Your actions towards that person before, they were too aggressive, and you left no way out. This will deeply offend people," Xia Wenxue furrowed her brow, "even though he deserved a lesson, your approach was too much."

Ren Feng looked at Xia Wenxue, and Xia Wenxue looked at Ren Feng. They stood on that small path, with the summer night's cool breeze blowing around them.

At this moment, Ren Feng finally realized the difference between the two of them.

"Wenxue, let me tell you a story," Ren Feng turned away, looking at the small river in the distance.

Xia Wenxue didn't speak, but she watched Ren Feng's profile and seemed to notice a completely different aura about him.

Completely unlike the usual playful demeanor.

"Once, during a mission, I encountered a similar situation. Back then, my choice was the same as yours." Ren Feng's gaze seemed deep, with no trace of humor on his face.

"You know what happened? That time, my mission almost failed because the teenager I spared betrayed us, and we almost faced complete annihilation," Ren Feng's face was exceptionally calm, but at the corners of his mouth was a faint trace of sarcasm.

Xia Wenxue was stunned, her red lips parted widely.

Ren Feng, in a calm tone, said, "Since then, I've understood that showing mercy to your enemies is being cruel to yourself, regardless of the opponent's power, big or small, whether they're just a thug or a killer, I never show mercy, and some small fries might take your life when you show mercy."

Ren Feng turned his head to Xia Wenxue, his mouth curving slightly: "Just now, that Mr. Liang, he's a small fry, he won't spare you just because you spared him, and if you don't believe me, you'll find out soon."

Xia Wenxue tried to argue, "But you could handle it differently."

"No method is more effective than violence; though it's simple and brutal, it undeniably is the most direct way to solve problems," Ren Feng smiled slightly, "and it saves time."

Xia Wenxue was speechless, realizing at this moment that Ren Feng's world was completely different from hers, much crueler, where jungle law prevails, making her question seem silly.

Ren Feng spoke calmly, with a faint smile at the corners of his lips, and at this moment, he seemed to have a charmingly evil air about him.

"Wenxue, you've always been in the business world, and the values and conduct you follow are different from mine. For me, swift and decisive actions are the rule to follow, and by the bodyguard's code, he already had intentions of threatening you."

Ren Feng looked at Xia Wenxue and said softly, "Besides, I will never allow anyone to walk over me in this life, those clowns, I'll hit them back immediately, but for you, it's an exception."

Ren Feng leaned slightly forward, and the distance between him and Xia Wenxue shortened, like the distance between their lips closing in.

A different kind of atmosphere began to build.

"I can allow you to walk all over me," Ren Feng smiled with extreme wickedness, even reaching out to hook Xia Wenxue's chin: "Xue'xue, would you consider it?"
