Hedonist Sovereign
chapter-344

When Qin Feng suggested playing hide-and-seek, Zhao Ling Xian snuck a peek at him.

A surge of warmth passed through her heart. So this guy didn't forget about our lovely childhood memories!

"Okay! That's a good game!" Liang Yu clapped.

This game matched his intentions perfectly. When Qin Feng was seeking, he would hide with Zhao Ling Xian. Liang Yu already formulated his plan: he would hide in a narrow area, so the two of them would be forced to stick close together and maybe even hug. Then they'd be able to slowly enhance their feelings for one another!

"Brother Qin, what a great suggestion!" Liang Yu looked at Qin Feng with gratitude. If Zhao Ling Xiang wasn't there, he'd want to rush up to Qin Feng and kiss him passionately!

One has to befriend people like Qin Feng; this is the definition of a true friend!

When Qin Feng saw how dumb Liang Yu looked for getting sold and helping the seller count the money, he laughed coldly inside while asking Zhao Ling Xian, "Ling Xian, what do you think?" [TN: By "getting sold and helping the seller count the money," the author means that Liang Yu was fooled by Qin Feng, but he continues believing that Qin Feng is helping him.]

"Whatever." Zhao Ling Xian was expressionless like before.

"Alright, then let's play hide-and-seek… How about this? First, Little Sister Ling Xian and I will hide and you, Brother Liang, will seek. In the second round, I'll seek while you two hide. What do you think?" Qin Feng gave Liang Yu a pointed look.

"Okay, I don't mind!" Liang Yu returned Qin Feng's look.

He knew that haste would cause things to go awry. If he hid with Zhao Ling Xian right away, then she might still be shy and unable to open up.

Liang Yu already rushed to begin counting while Qin Feng took Zhao Ling Xian's hand and pulled her into the villa.

The rules of the game were that they had to stay in the villa, and that they couldn't go into Zhao Ling Xian's room—because girls' rooms are always an enormous secret!

"Qin Feng, didn't you say we couldn't hide in my room? Why did we come here?" Zhao Ling Xian looked around her room suspiciously.

"Stop talking and kiss me!"

Qin Feng closed the door, lifted Zhao Ling Xian's charming face, and kissed her fiercely. Zhao Ling Xian came to her senses only after they had been kissing for a long time. She pushed him harshly away.

"What are you doing? Don't mess around. I have nothing to do with you right now. I'm someone else's fiancée!"

"Ling Xian, don't be difficult. I told you that I'm going to steal you back!" Qin Feng pulled Zhao Ling Xian into his embrace once again. He was feeling unhappy because he got pushed away right when he was just getting immersed in the kiss.

"Did that bastard Liang Yu do anything to you before I got here?"

Zhao Ling Xian struggled twice, then gave up and rested in Qin Feng's arms. "If he did anything, what would you do?"

"What? What did the beast do? I smelled you just now, and the virgin scent is still there!" Qin Feng suddenly became anxious.

The corner of Zhao Ling Xian's lips tugged upward. She stared at Qin Feng and shouted, "What virgin scent? What the hell are you talking about? You learned bad things since you were young. Where did you hear that from? I don't believe it!"

Qin Feng felt a lot better when he saw Zhao Ling Xian beginning to argue with him. He hugged her tightly and said, "Ling Xian, I have too many enemies right now, so many that I can't even properly count them… Liang Yu has a lot of power backing him; I don't have the ability to eliminate the entire Liang family in the capital. So I'll have to inconvenience you for now. Give me some more time. I've already begun pressuring the Liang family. When I've dissolved their important sources of power and made the fatal strike, I'll steal you back for sure!"

It was the first time Qin Feng said these words to Zhao Ling Xian. This was the plan he kept hidden within him!

Zhao Ling Xian's frail body suddenly trembled. She hadn't thought Qin Feng would consider destroying an entire family for her sake! She'd thought Qin Feng didn't care about her anymore. She never thought a man who always looked frivolous would have such frightening thoughts!

Zhao Ling Xian's eyes reddened. During the past couple of days, she'd heard about the sharpshooter's attack at Cloud City Hua Manor, and she knew that the Qin family recently clashed with a lot of large family clans. Zhao Ling Xian really wanted to find Qin Feng and stay with him, so they could face the problems together, but she knew she couldn't do so!

"Qin Feng, how have you been recently?" Zhao Ling Xian's hands had been tightly clenched the whole time, but now they lightly embraced Qin Feng's back.

"I'm very well. Don't worry about me. As long as you're happy, then I'm reassured!" Qin Feng lightly caressed Zhao Ling Xian's back.

When a woman's heart grows cold, reigniting it is really hard. But, of course, that depends on the person!

With the right person, then maybe a simple sentence can rekindle ashes into a blazing fire!

"Qin Feng, do you still remember how we loved playing hide-and-seek when we were little?"

"Of course! Every time, you always hid in such easy places that I could find you right away!"

"But you hid in places that were too hard to find. I'd look in every room, but I could never find you!"

"But once you cried, I appeared right away! Because I knew you were afraid I disappeared; you were afraid you'd never see me again!"

Qin Feng and Zhao Ling Xian embraced tightly, and their gazes interlocked!

"Qin Feng, I'll believe you once more… I'll wait for you!"

Zhao Ling Xian's voice was as quiet as a mosquito, but Qin Feng heard it clearly. He almost shouted in happiness!

Thud thud thud!

Footsteps suddenly echoed outside. Qin Feng and Zhao Ling Xian froze. In her shock, Zhao Ling Xian immediately pushed Qin Feng away, and she had a nervous expression. "What should we do? Wouldn't he be suspicious of you if he finds us hiding in my room?"

Zhao Ling Xian had just forgiven Qin Feng, and she already began worrying about him! She knew he didn't have it easy. Other people might consider him an idle hedonist young master who had no worries, but Zhao Ling Xian knew of Qin Feng's hardships!

"What do we do? What do we do?" Zhao Ling Xian paced around the room anxiously. "If he discovers us, won't he turn against you? Would he immediately mobilize the Capital's Liang family to suppress you?"

Upon seeing Zhao Ling Xian's worry, Qin Feng smiled and hugged her. Then, he carried her to the bed.

"No! Let go, Qin Feng. If we're discovered, you'll be in trouble!" Zhao Ling Xian was so shocked that she was bewildered. She desperately struggled out of Qin Feng's embrace.

Qin Feng had a death grip on her and laughed as he said, "Don't worry! We made the rules clear earlier that we can't hide in your room. That brat won't have the guts to come in!"

Zhao Ling Xian calmed down a bit, but she was still worried. She glanced at the door and said, "Qin Feng, why don't you lock the door?"

Qin Feng didn't get up. He was enjoying the feeling of being pressed against Zhao Ling Xian's soft body.

"I'm not locking it! I like this feeling. Say, Liang Yu's having such a hard time looking for us, so if he found out we were lying in your bed carrying out an affair, would he be so angry that he faints and dies?" Qin Feng laughed evilly.

Zhao Ling Xian blushed profusely. Qin Feng's words, "carrying out an affair," really fit the situation. Zhao Ling Xian didn't really like it, but she had no way of resisting! [TN: The characters for "carrying out an affair" translate literally to "stealing emotion," so this relates to how Qin Feng is taking advantage of Zhao Ling Xian without her consent.]

"Ling Xian, I really missed you!" Qin Feng's lips fell on Zhao Ling Xian's red ones.

Zhao Ling Xian fought for a bit, then stopped resisting. She allowed Qin Feng to kiss her.

Outside, Liang Yu's footsteps came and went. Inside the room, Qin Feng kissed Zhao Ling Xian wildly. The feeling made Zhao Ling Xian addicted!

……

Twenty minutes later, Liang Yu ran out of the villa drenched in sweat. He almost turned the four floors of the villa upside down, but he couldn't find the two of them. He began to feel suspicious. According to reason, Qin Feng should be helping him. He should have taken Zhao Ling Xian to hide somewhere easy to find! Or he should have left some clues along the way to make finding them easier. Why is there nothing?

Liang Yu already gave up. He went downstairs to get some fresh air outside the villa. Then, he'd call Qin Feng and tell him to come out.

He had just pulled out his phone when his eyes widened. Qin Feng and Zhao Ling Xian were sitting and chatting on the lawn!

"Brother Liang, what did you do? We waited for you for so long!" Liang Yu had just gone outside when Qin Feng greeted him with a laugh.

Liang Yu walked up to Qin Feng and asked in a low voice, "Brother Qin, where were you guys hiding? Why didn't you hide in an easier place to find? I've been searching to death!"

Qin Feng lowered his voice as well and complained, "You're one to talk, Brother Liang. Ling Xian and I hid behind the front doors, and we stood there for a really long time! That's such an easy hiding spot! I thought you'd see us once you went into the villa, and then it'd be my turn to find you and Ling Xian… I set everything up, but you didn't take advantage of the opportunity!"

Liang Yu listened with wide eyes and his mouth agape. Then, he suddenly slapped himself in the head!

After going into the villa, he really hadn't looked around the first floor. He thought to himself that Qin Feng had to at least hide in the second or third floor to pretend he was giving the game some effort. Who would have thought that they'd hide behind the front doors! Liang Yu was filled with regret!

"Ah! I'm so stupid! But I'll definitely remember Brother Qin's efforts. If you ever need anything, Brother Qin, don't be polite in asking for it!"

Qin Feng laughed internally when he saw that Liang Yu was thanking him when he'd tricked him.

"Ling Xian, I'm really sorry to have made you wait for so long!" Liang Yu and Qin Feng went up to Zhao Ling Xian. Liang Yu's gaze swept over Zhao Ling Xian and immediately became worried when he saw her flushed face.

"Ling Xian, why is your face so red? You don't have a fever, do you?"

Zhao Ling Xian became nervous. She didn't have a fever. This was all because of Qin Feng! Earlier, in her room, Qin Feng had taken off all the clothing on her upper body and kissed and touched her. Though the two of them sat and rested outside for five or six minutes, Zhao Ling Xian's body was still heated up!

"Brother Liang! You're asking this at the wrong time!" Qin Feng looked at Liang Yu as though he failed to live up to expectations. "Little Sister Ling Xian waited here for you for 20 minutes. She was angry and said you were dumb. She said she ran out of patience. She's flushed with anger!"

Liang Yu hit himself in the forehead again and laughed awkwardly. "Ling Xian, I was wrong! Come on, let's go hide together right now and have Brother Qin find us… Brother Qin is intelligent; he'll be sure to find us quickly!"

Liang Yu extended his hand toward Zhao Ling Xian. Who knew how long he'd waited for this moment! It was finally his turn to hide with Zhao Ling Xian. What was a good place to hide?

The bathroom. That was a convenient place to do things! The kitchen wasn't bad, either; a lot of the films took place in the kitchen! Or maybe the dressing room. Recently, videos in the dressing room were really popular…
