Chapter 10: Reward

"The streets are crowded with people passing by, so naturally, it is at its busiest. However, I am quite curious—I did not disclose my identity to you, Miss. I wonder how you came to know it?" Wu Jingyu was stunned for a moment, but instantly regained his composure. He lazily lifted his gaze, staring intently at Feng Qingzhuang as he waited for her to resolve his confusion.

"Wu Jingyu, one of the four young masters renowned throughout the world, who loves to wear black. The whole world knows this; it is nothing unusual. What is unusual is that Wu Jingyu, one of the four young masters, will very soon become infamous," Feng Qingzhuang said with a sinister smile. Her dark, cold eyes swept over him playfully, making Wu Jingyu feel a chill run down his spine as he thought to himself that things were looking bad.

"What are you planning to do?" A rare trace of panic appeared in Wu Jingyu's gentle voice.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk." The hand Feng Qingzhuang used to pinch Wu Jingyu's chin suddenly released, sliding slowly down his slender neck, passing over his sexy Adam's apple, and lingering for a moment on his firm, elastic chest. She traced a circle before continuing downward. Her long, jade-like fingers finally came to rest on the black jade belt at Wu Jingyu's waist. An extreme sense of evil surged in her dark, deep eyes. Her red lips pursed slightly as she spoke calmly.

"Young Master Wu just said that this street is at its busiest. Since you are unwilling to tell me your purpose for following me, then today I shall perform a good deed: I will let the women of the world go mad with desire and the men burn with jealousy by letting Young Master Wu show off his perfect physique here on Xingyao Street."

"You dare!" Panic surged in Wu Jingyu's eyes, but after a moment, he calmed down. A wicked smile escaped his lips as he said quite black-heartedly, "If Miss wants to look, then look. I once swore an oath to the heavens that the first woman in this world to see my body would be the wife I have chosen for this lifetime. Once you have seen my body, I will belong to you. You cannot simply play with my heart and then abandon me."

*Damn, you dead monster, you actually dare to threaten me!* Feng Qingzhuang's face darkened as she cursed him inwardly.

However, who was Feng Qingzhuang? She was not someone who could be easily intimidated by a mere threat.

Feng Qingzhuang's movements did not stop. She inserted two fingers into the black jade belt at Wu Jingyu's waist. With just a light tug, Wu Jingyu's clothes would surely be pulled open, exposing his firm and perfect physique to the sunlight. Yet, Feng Qingzhuang delayed her move, her fingers merely wandering and stroking back and forth across Wu Jingyu's waist and abdomen through the smooth, ice-silk brocade robe.

This method of "scratching an itch through a boot" left Wu Jingyu in a state of torment. The tingles spreading across his waist and abdomen made his body tremble. He felt immense frustration at having encountered such an extraordinary woman. Although he was being toyed with, the warmth constantly transmitted through the fabric left him intoxicated; his heart nearly leapt out of his chest, experiencing this heart-pounding sensation for the first time.

A message resonated deep within Wu Jingyu's heart: he was destined to fall into the hands of this evil, heartless, peerless woman in this lifetime!

"I will give you one more chance. Speak. What exactly was your purpose in following me?" Feng Qingzhuang's voice, cold as ice, drifted from her red lips, instantly cooling the desire that had just surged through Wu Jingyu's body.

"Fine, I will tell the truth. I merely saw that the golden mouse in Miss's hands was very cute, and I could not bear to let it go, so I followed you all the way," Wu Jingyu said, feeling utterly defeated. His wicked eyes narrowed; although he was immobilized as if his acupoints had been struck, his handsome appearance and elegant bearing remained completely unmarred.

"Xiao Jinzi, it seems your charm is quite remarkable. Just as you left the manor, you caught the eye of Wu Jingyu, known as one of the four young masters of the world. That truly is your good fortune. Since Young Master Wu shows such great affection, you shouldn't be polite. Just reward his affection with a little something so that he will never forget it for the rest of his life—and never forget Young Master Wu's great affection." Withdrawing her gaze and pulling back her fingers, Feng Qingzhuang gave a brilliant smile, as radiant as the morning sun. She lowered her head to look at Xiao Jinzi in her arms and spoke with deep implication.
