Warlord: Starting with Subduing Little A Qiao

"Does Mr. Ye have many books? Could I borrow them to take a look? I usually enjoy reading to pass the time."

Halfway through her sentence, Feng Chengcheng, fearing she had touched on something Ye Bai disliked, quickly added a consolation.

"It's okay if it's inconvenient."

Seeing Feng Chengcheng's cautious demeanor, Ye Bai shook his head.

"There's nothing inconvenient about it. It's just that I'm afraid Miss Feng will be disappointed, as there aren't many books in the house."

Ye Bai was quite frank, making no attempt to hide the fact that he didn't like reading.

When these words reached Feng Chengcheng's ears, she immediately burst out laughing.

"Books aren't meant to be displayed; just put them here."

As she spoke, Feng Chengcheng pointed to her head, revealing two shallow dimples on her cheeks.

At this moment, she clearly seemed to be in a good mood.

Upon hearing this, Ye Bai, unusually, cracked a joke and tapped his head with his hand.

"Unfortunately, I didn't put many here either."

Seeing the joking look in Ye Bai's eyes, Feng Chengcheng relaxed a lot.

The tone of his voice when he spoke was completely relaxed, without any of the tension he had shown before.

"Mr. Ye really likes to joke."

The scene of the two chatting and laughing was fully witnessed by Xiao Aqiao, who was standing to the side.

She raised her eyebrows slightly, a hint of bitterness rising in her heart.

Watching the two of them talk about books, and being unable to join in at all, Xiao Aqiao felt extremely awkward.

Just now, I mentioned to Feng Chengcheng that I always put Ye Bai first, so I could say that I had the upper hand.

But at this moment, seeing the two chatting and laughing so harmoniously about reading, Xiao Aqiao suddenly felt that she had lost another round.

With a sudden thought, Xiao A gracefully moved to the tea table beside her.

With a delicate hand, she gently lifted a few strands of Biluochun tea leaves and placed them into a white porcelain cup as white as jade.

Then, Xiao Aqiao gently shook her hand.

Streams of slightly steaming water were poured into the white porcelain cups.

A misty vapor quickly rose from the surface of the white porcelain cup, giving it a hazy, dreamlike appearance.

The tea leaves in the bowl instantly unfurled as if they had absorbed enough moisture, slowly becoming full and plump.

Once the water surface was level with the curve of the white porcelain cup, Xiao Aqiao gently lifted the lid and slowly placed it over the cup.

Soon, she raised her right hand and gently picked up the white porcelain cup lid to begin skimming the foam.

The white, jade-like eaves gently brush against the emerald green tea leaves, creating a masterpiece of exquisite color combinations from every angle.

This scene clearly caught the attention of Ye Bai and Feng Chengcheng, who were standing nearby.

Then, Xiao Aqiao's slender, jade-like fingers pinched the tea lid, and then she slowly stirred the tea leaves in the white porcelain cup.

When Xiao Aqiao saw that Ye Bai's eyes were looking over, a deeper smile appeared on her lips.

Slowly pick up the teacup and pour out the tea.

With a few gurgling sounds, the tea in the cup was ready.

The soup is clear and bright, and looks very beautiful.

You can even see the tea leaves slowly unfurling and awakening at the bottom of the cup, as if you can see the vibrant spring.

With a gentle push of her hand, two cups of fragrant, silvery-green, and brightly colored tea were placed in front of Ye Bai and Feng Chengcheng.

Seeing this, Ye Bai, with a smile in his eyes, couldn't help but speak up.

"Xiao Aqiao has already mastered the eight steps of tea ceremony with unparalleled skill."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Aqiao's smile deepened, and she laughed even more.

"Brother Ye, you love to tease me the most. Come and try the tea I brewed this time, how is it?"

Meeting Xiao A's smiling face, Ye Bai picked up his teacup and smiled at Feng Chengcheng opposite him.

"Miss Feng, please try it. Our Xiao A Qiao's tea-making skills are truly renowned. In the past, I had to ask her three or four times just to get a cup of her tea."

As soon as she spoke, Xiao Aqiao's eyebrows relaxed even more.

Ye Bai's words carried a clear sense of familiarity, a hint of teasing that only acquaintances would exchange.

Despite being teased like this, Xiao Aqiao smiled but refused to admit defeat.

"What do you mean? Every time you say you're going to make tea, I immediately bring it to you. You're actually bringing up my shortcomings in front of outsiders!"

Ye Bai, sitting opposite him, had just finished sipping the tea from his white porcelain cup. He felt the tea had an unforgettable aftertaste, and a hint of satisfaction shone in his eyes.

Seeing Xiao Aqiao's reply, he smiled as well.

"Look at this girl, you can't say a word to her and she'll snap back at me three times. She's really something else."

He kept saying how incredible it was, but Ye Bai's eyes were also full of smiles, clearly showing his utmost tolerance.

This scene caught Feng Chengcheng's eye. She didn't say anything, but also took a sip of the tea beside her.

The tea in my mouth is incredibly fragrant, fresh, and refreshing, with a lingering aftertaste.

What's even more remarkable is that it seems to faintly carry a fruity aroma.

The tea is good.

The tea-brewing skills are also superb.

Feng Chengcheng silently praised him, but seeing Ye Bai and Xiao Aqiao's harmonious relationship, she couldn't help but sigh.

The atmosphere between the two of them, as if they were one, was something that others couldn't easily blend into.

Thinking of this, even the incredibly fragrant tea in my mouth suddenly tasted a bit bland!

In this round, she actually lost by half a point!

Chapter 114 Causing trouble in front of Feng Jingyao, gunshots suddenly rang out!

Feng Chengcheng stayed at the Paramount Mansion for the time being.

Meanwhile, Feng Jingyao's situation became even worse.

On the one hand, he was extremely worried about Feng Chengcheng running away from home.

Uncle Guan even sent several groups of people to search for Feng Chengcheng's whereabouts.

However, Feng Chengcheng has always been a quiet person and doesn't like going out.

Since moving into the Paramount Mansion, I've basically never left the house.

How could anyone searching outside possibly spot Feng Chengcheng?!

On the other hand, Feng Jingyao's business also ran into big problems.

The striking workers are now completely out of work.

After all, the newspaper had already started hiring again, and the new workers had quickly taken up their original positions, so the newspaper was soon back up and running again.

The striking workers couldn't go back to the company, and they couldn't find any other jobs.

This immediately put them in a helpless situation.

Some of the unemployed workers, in a fit of desperation, united with the majority of those who had lost their jobs and planned a demonstration.

At this moment, everyone had already pointed the finger at Feng Jingyao.

It's all that old geezer's fault!

If it weren't for Feng Jingyao, they would all still be doing just fine!

And so, the next day.

The area in front of the Feng Mansion was in complete chaos.

Down with Feng Jingyao!

"Feng Jingyao, you bastard! It's all your fault, you old geezer, that I lost my job!"

"How could I have believed your lies! This is a job I worked so hard to find, it's all your fault, Feng Jingyao!"

……

The noisy crowd had already surrounded the Feng Mansion.

When Butler Xiang saw what was happening in front of him, he immediately panicked and ran into Feng Jingyao's bedroom.

That's right, it's a bedroom, not a study.

After learning that his secret plot had been completely exposed, Feng Jingyao fainted and fell seriously ill.

After waking up from the fainting spell, the private doctor gave direct advice.

His body needs quiet rest, and he needs to remain calm and avoid extreme joy or anger.
