MY VERY BRAVE WIFE
Chapter 20

Zhao Lifei followed Yang Ruqin down the hall and into a different section where another group of bodyguards stood in front of a door.

'Geez, this bodyguard organization must be making money with the number of people hiring them, ' Zhao Lifei thought.

When those people saw Yang Ruqin, they let her through. They were trained professionals who did not glance at Zhao Lifei. Instead, they continued to look forward to every accident.

As soon as the door opened, the Antarctic wind must have blown as Zhao Lifei shivered on contact and a wondering gaze landed on the extremely handsome, but frightening man.

His eyes were ferocious, the color was darker than ink and the night itself. The aura he emitted was cold, dark, and terrifying. Despite his intimidating vibe, he was extremely handsome with thin lips, a high nose, and a very sharp jawline, probably able to pierce through glass.

Zhao Lifei was unprepared for such a deadly and arrogant presence.

His throat feels dry.

He finally understood why so many women dropped themselves at his feet. With such a face and aura, who wouldn't?

"Ugh, brother, why is temperament bad?" Yang Ruqin sighed, putting down her wallet.

He scowled, his eyes blazing with annoyance. "Maybe because of these fucking handcuffs."

Zhao Lifei was surprised to hear his voice was neither rude nor ferocious. Instead, it is deep and smooth, like the best milk chocolate.

Standing in the doorway, Zhao Lifei wasn't sure if he wanted to enter the room or not. The man was much more frightening in person. Despite the flames burning in his eyes, his face was extremely calm.

He thought to himself, 'is this what people mean when they talk about calm before a storm?'

"If I don't handcuff you, you'll leave this room. Then your body won't get any better ..." Yang Ruqin was speechless when Yang Feng gave her a sharp look. Even though he had known her his entire life, her pondering gaze still frightened him.

"I'm doing fine. I don't need any extra treatment." Yang Feng stubbornly replied, his lips pulling into an unpleasant line.

Yang Ruqin wavered due to her gaze and voice.

"Open the handcuffs." His fierce voice was so commanding, it took every fiber within Yang Ruqin to reject his request.

"NO." Yang Ruqin stubbornly rejected her request, putting her hands on her hips.

In simple words, the atmosphere turned colder. Yang Fengs frozen eyes lowered the temperature around him, sending a chill down Zhao Lifei's spine.

"That's not a suggestion." His voice became extremely dark, Yang Ruqin was forced to step forward.

Sensing the obvious aversion of his friend towards his absolute king brother, Zhao Lifei came to Yang Ruqin's aid. "Don't be too rude, he's just watching you."

Yang Fengs eyes turned to Zhao Lifei. He was not surprised by his presence; in fact, he was expecting it.

Zhao Lifei: the former fiancee of Zheng Tianyi, the best friend of her spoiled little sister. He always investigated Yang Ruqin's friends to make sure none of them had criminal or dangerous backgrounds.

He expected Zhao Lifei to get along with his little sister, but he did not expect her charisma and dripping temperament. Was he always like this? Why isn't he afraid of her?

Naturally, this woman was beautiful beyond words. Unlike most women her age, she does not dress shamefully or mischievously. Instead, she was well dressed in professional attire that shouted an independent vibe. Yang Feng almost questioned why Zheng Tianyi left this Zhao Lifei for a woman of a much lower class.

Zhao Lifei did not squirm under his sharp gaze. He was too familiar with that type of appearance. His skin had long since hardened by the envious gazes of other socialites.

"I didn't invite you to this conversation, come out." His voice was cold and cruel, cutting through everything he touched.

Zhao Lifei narrowed her eyes and placed her hands on her hips. "Then, I invite myself into this conversation."

Yang Feng laughed without humor. "What gives you the qualifications to enter this conversation?"

Zhao Lifei felt her lips whimper. "I donated a lot of blood just to save your safe. I guess I should have a reason in this conversation."

Yang Feng was pulled back by the new information before him. "You're donating blood?"

Yang Feng instantly misunderstood his words. He wanted something in return for saving his life... Of course, what else could he expect?

He thought she was stupid for thinking she might be different from the other women wandering around Yang Ruqin. But alas, he was just another fly with ulterior motives.

"Well, you want payment? Xiao Qin, give me my checkbook." Yang Feng's orders were humorless, his voice filled with annoyance.

Yang Ruqin blinked in surprise. She did not expect her brother to always carry a checkbook everywhere. Curious to see if he was telling the truth, he walked over to his suit and took out a leather checkbook.

"Wow brother, you really brought this!" Yang Ruqin was stunned by the presence of the book. He didn't think he would actually have this! What kind of Korean drama is this?

Zhao Lifei felt her patience thin as she picked up the book, opened it, and signed her name at the bottom of the first page. He tore the slip and handed it to her.

"Because you want money so much, write as many zeros as you want." His voice was filled with disgust.

Zhao Lifei scowled at the backhanded humiliation. She didn't even look at him when he gave her the slip, insinuating as if she was some kind of prostitute or morally immoral gold-digging woman.

Who does he think he is?

He saved his life and this was how would he repay him? By hinting, she was a woman after his money?

Zhao Lifei almost scoffed at his pretentious behavior. He roughly took out a small paper from his hand and took out a pen.

Yang Feng felt his expectations and effects towards Zhao Lifei were lower than before. She could not believe her younger sister's judgment of people was so bad that she was willing to make good friends with this type of woman.

He saw her write at least seven zeros. When he put down his pen, he opened his mouth, "Now come out—"

Zhao Lifei surprised him when he suddenly tore the paper into shreds.

"What are you doing?"

SWOOSH!

Zhao Lifei threw the pieces of paper over his face, the small white flakes blowing into his honey-colored skin.

With that disrespectful attitude, the room became quiet. The room was filled with deafening silence. The temperature dropped very low inside the room, Yang Ruqin shivered in fear. He glanced at the thermometer and was surprised to see it was room temperature, even though the atmosphere was cold.

Why does it feel like the Antarctic wind is coming in through the window? The air around her brother was extremely cold, she was surprised that his walls did not become ice and his glass windows did not freeze!

The gaze that Yang Feng gave Zhao Lifei was so terrifying, even Yang Ruqin took a step back.

"You must have a lot of courage to do that." His voice was so thick from restraining anger, Yang Ruqin almost ran out the door in fear.

But Zhao Lifei was already used to this type of man who thought their scary stares and threats could make women run for their lives.

After hardening his skin ever since Zheng Tianyi threatened and glared at him, Zhao Lifei became sensitive to this common behavior. Naturally, this man did it better than Zheng Tianyi, but he didn't care.

Zhao Lifei ignored the warning bells on his head and the red flag that waved in the air.

Yang Feng took a deep breath and calmed down. He told himself that he did not need to lose control for a simple and lowly woman like her.

"You crazy woman—" Her voice disappeared at a completely unexpected turn of events. Never in a billion years had he ever expected the next scene to open.

Zhao Lifei had taken his wallet, opened it, and then threw hundreds, if not thousands, of banknotes at him. The incredible color caught the light and with the amount he threw at it, it seemed like the room was showered with confetti money.

Bills rained down on Yang Feng, falling onto him and his bed. It made him seem like an ordinary male escort thrown by a rich puma [1].

"Oooooh, how the table changed ..." Yang Ruqin whispered softly.

"I don't need your money, you assholes!" Zhao Lifei snapped at him before exiting the hospital room.
