Chapter 245 Approaching My Benefactor

Chapter 245 Approaching My Benefactor

Li Jiaojiao was still unwilling to let Chen Feng leave. She looked at Chen Feng pitifully and said, "Why are you in such a hurry to leave, my benefactor? Are you tired of Jiaojiao?"

"If my benefactor is tired of Jiaojiao, then just say so..."

Li Jiaojiao was interrupted by Chen Feng before she could finish speaking. Before she could even feel happy, she heard Chen Feng say, "What you said is right, I am indeed very impatient with you."

"I didn't expect the young lady to be so self-aware."

"..." Li Jiaojiao choked, clearly not expecting Chen Feng to be so direct.

“How could you say such a thing to Jiaojiao, my benefactor?” Li Jiaojiao looked at Chen Feng sadly and said, “Jiaojiao just wanted to thank my benefactor.”

"If I remember correctly, it was you, young lady, who asked me if I was tired of you. I was just telling the truth." Chen Feng looked at Li Jiaojiao coldly.

Although he was pleased that Fei'er was jealous yesterday, he was afraid that if Fei'er saw this strange woman again, she would get angry again, and he couldn't bear to make Fei'er angry.

Once or twice is fine, but if it happens too often, He Fei might really get angry. He doesn't want to make Fei'er angry because of such a strange woman.

"If you wish to eat, please feel free to do so. I have other matters to attend to at the restaurant, so I must take my leave now."

As Chen Feng spoke, he walked around Li Jiaojiao and headed straight for the door of the private room. Li Jiaojiao looked at Chen Feng, and without thinking, she reached out and grabbed Chen Feng's sleeve, saying with tears in her eyes, "My benefactor, please don't go yet."

Chen Feng's patience had completely run out. He looked coldly at Li Jiaojiao and said, "Men and women should not touch each other. I hope you will respect yourself."

"Also, I'd better say it again: I am not your benefactor, and you should stop calling me your benefactor. Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite."

If it weren't for the fact that this was his own restaurant and there were many other customers outside, Chen Feng would have thrown Li Jiaojiao out of the private room.

Li Jiaojiao was incredulous at the impatience on Chen Feng's face. She was of above-average looks, and there were plenty of men in the city who wanted to please her. Why was Chen Feng so unresponsive, even though her hints were so obvious?

Before Chen Feng could shake off the hand gripping his sleeve, a cold snort came from outside the door. Hearing the familiar voice, Chen Feng looked up and saw He Fei standing there. Afraid that He Fei would misunderstand, Chen Feng quickly went over and said, "Fei'er, things are not as you see them."

"I know." He Fei had overheard the whole thing outside the door and knew that it was a woman who had been bothering Chen Feng. Although she was very annoyed, she disliked the woman in front of her even more.

Chen Feng's annoyance was so obvious, yet she still kept bothering him. He Fei looked at Li Jiaojiao, crossed her arms, and said bluntly, "You really have no shame."

"To be touching another woman's man in broad daylight, I wonder if your parents would feel ashamed to see you like this."

Li Jiaojiao was already annoyed because Chen Feng had rejected her earlier, and now that He Fei, who was prettier than her, was mocking her like this, she immediately lost her temper. "What business is it of yours how my benefactor and I are?"

"Benefactor?" He Fei rolled her eyes and said, "Yesterday you clearly pounced on him yourself, and afterwards you insisted on calling him your benefactor. I don't care what you do, but this Crescent Moon Pavilion is also my territory. Do you believe I can have you kicked out right now?"

"You!" Li Jiaojiao was so angry with He Fei that she couldn't speak. Finally, she said, "Xinyue Tower is clearly the place of our benefactor. The fact that your name is written there proves that this is your place."

“My place is Fei’er’s place,” Chen Feng said.

Li Jiaojiao: "..."

Chen Feng immediately called over two waiters and said to Li Jiaojiao, "If you don't want to leave, then I'll have no choice but to have them escort you away."

Li Jiaojiao's face turned pale with anger, then purple. She realized that if she didn't leave, Chen Feng would really do it. She stomped her foot and left Xinyue Tower while Chen Feng remained expressionless.

After Li Jiaojiao left, He Fei glanced at Chen Feng and muttered softly, "He's such a femme fatale."

"Yes, Fei'er is right. Please don't be angry. It's all my fault. I shouldn't have given her the chance to pounce on me."

He Fei: "...Hmph." He's smart to be sensible.

However, thinking about the scene of Li Jiaojiao pestering Chen Feng just now, He Fei still felt a little uncomfortable, so she said, "I have something to do, so I'll leave first."

After saying that, she turned and left without giving Chen Feng a chance to react. Chen Feng shook his head helplessly and could only watch He Fei leave.

After returning home, Li Jiaojiao rushed into her room and slammed the door shut.

That evening, after Mr. Li returned home, he asked the maidservant who was guarding the door, "Has Jiaojiao returned yet?"

The maidservant replied respectfully, "Master, Miss returned this afternoon and has been locking herself in her room ever since. She seems a bit angry."

Mr. Li frowned upon hearing this. Hadn't he sent Li Jiaojiao to the New Moon Pavilion to get close to the owner? Why was she back so early?

"Jiaojiao, open the door."

Hearing her father's voice, Li Jiaojiao reluctantly opened the door, "Father."

When Li's father entered Li Jiaojiao's room and saw the mess she had made, he couldn't help but ask, "Who made you angry again?"

"He's not my father yet." Thinking about how humiliated she was in front of Chen Feng today, Li Jiaojiao felt a surge of resentment.

She had forgotten that she had agreed to the proposal after Li's father brought it up, and now she blamed it all on Li's father, saying, "That owner of the Crescent Moon Pavilion named Chen Feng is completely unyielding and won't listen to reason at all."

"How is that possible? Even you can't do it?!" Father Li didn't believe it.

He knew how much his daughter attracted the attention of young talents in the city, and Chen Feng didn't seem like someone who could resist temptation. He had thought it was a sure thing, but now Li Jiaojiao said no.

"Hmph." Li Jiaojiao thought that Chen Feng was blind. He Fei was only slightly prettier than her, and she couldn't compare to her in any other way. She didn't know why Chen Feng was so blind to look down on her and instead protected He Fei in every way.

"Try again tomorrow."

"I'm not going." Li Jiaojiao said stubbornly. Chen Feng had already embarrassed her in the private room today. If others saw it tomorrow, she would lose even more face.

"Jiaojiao, I'm doing this for your own good." Li's father sat down opposite Li Jiaojiao and earnestly advised, "That Chen Feng is no ordinary person."

"How great can he be? He's just the owner of a small restaurant."

Father Li: “…”
