Chapter 269: Don’t Pamper Women Too Much, or They’ll Get Out of Hand
Don’t even mention how frustrated Nangong Bing was—now Lin Zifeng was completely confused. How could one bully someone to this extent?
Even sleeping or taking a bath had to be done under her intimidating gaze, the agony and suppression festering in his heart. And she, Nangong Bing, was so domineering. Sometimes Lin Zifeng wondered, why am I so miserable? Instead of leading a normal life, I actually believed those ridiculous words from old Nangong Shui, claiming his daughter was a beauty like a ’Heavenly Immortal’, a ’Immortal’ descending to the mortal realm, with an extraordinary and ethereal temperament. Initially, at first glance, it really seemed like the case, but now, having been together for just over a month, her unpleasant habits were starting to show. Back then, I even thought, such a beautiful woman must have plenty of suitors. She’s 23, isn’t she worried about not having a boyfriend? Why would it be my turn?
The more he thought about it, the more aggrieved Lin Zifeng felt.
"Stop! Lin, you have to make it clear today, what exactly did you mean by what you just said?"
The natural Queenly demeanor was simply this woman’s unequivocal synonym. In any situation, it seemed righteousness always sided with her, and it looked like nobody else even had the capability to argue.
You should know that Nangong Bing had grown up in a family of luxury, basically living a life where everything was handed to her on a silver platter. Even when she went abroad to study and returned to work, Nangong Bing was still very dominant, both in her studies and later in her work. Considering Nangong Bing’s talent and relentless efforts, she truly deserved pride—it’s simply that her achievements were right there, undeniably impressive. It was precisely this competitive nature that made her like to be the best at everything. Coupled with society’s greater tolerance towards beautiful women than men, and growing up amid flowers and applause, it led to her arrogant character that disregarded all criticisms.
"How many meanings could there be?" Lin Zifeng felt very pitiful and innocent under this oppressive and threatening scene. He was reluctant to answer because he knew that even hobbies like peeping had come to the fore. Heaven knows what other bad habits she might have.
Perhaps even when I go to the bathroom normally, it’s under her surveillance.
Thinking about this, Lin Zifeng felt his skin crawl with goosebumps. He really didn’t understand how someone who looked like a goddess could have such filthy thoughts.
"I am asking you what exactly you meant by what you just said! The more I hear, the worse it sounds. Lin, don’t underestimate me."
Nangong Bing’s eyes glinted menacingly as she crossed her arms, a posture of not letting things go. Although Lin Zifeng was stark naked, luckily, he had covered the essentials with a pure white towel. Otherwise, Nangong Bing might have had the impulse to break his third leg.
"Uh, haha, just pretend I was farting just now, you didn’t hear anything, alright?"
Lin Zifeng tried his best to squeeze a smile on his face because he knew, if he mentioned what was discussed earlier, only the devil knew what methods Nangong Bing would come up with to deal with him later.
Moreover, with her having such bad habits, if she really wanted to mess with him someday, he would truly be miserable.
"Fart?" Nangong Bing’s facial muscles instantly stiffened. How could everything change its taste once it reached this guy’s mouth? She really couldn’t figure out why her father had chosen this guy in the first place. They hadn’t seen each other for hundreds of years, yet he could still find her in the vast crowd—it was simply unbelievable.
Seeing that Nangong Bing was stunned and remained speechless for a while, Lin Zifeng awkwardly chuckled, "Um, Bingbing, I’m going to take a shower now, could you, uh, move aside? Hehe?"
Indeed, pampering a woman too much just makes her more audacious.
This sentence really isn’t false.
Nangong Bing’s haughty attitude today can largely be credited to those brainless Guardian Angels. Without their obsequious flattery and constant brown-nosing, would my wife Bingbing be so domineering?
Staring at Lin Zifeng, who looked as unfazed as a dead pig in boiling water, Nangong Bing felt helpless now. It seemed that apart from having a thick skin, he had nothing else; no matter how she scolded or berated him, he just didn’t seem to care. If you kept arguing with him and he ignored you, it would be really embarrassing.
Seeing Lin Zifeng swagger past her, Nangong Bing closed her eyes, trying her best not to look at his annoying face, which was nothing like the one she envisioned in her mind; he was utterly incomparable to her ideal.
However, as he walked past Nangong Bing, he realized that her pajamas were really damn funny, she even had a little tail on the backside?!
They had just been bickering, and Lin Zifeng hadn’t taken a closer look. Now upon seeing it, holy cow, a CEO-level Queen pretending to be cute? Wearing cartoon pajamas? And with that kind on the backside? No wonder this young lady had a penchant for peeping; he really hadn’t noticed before.
As he passed by Nangong Bing, Lin Zifeng breezed past like the wind, but ultimately, he couldn’t hold back his laughter and burst out laughing.
Because Nangong Bing’s attire was just too funny, a standard cartoon bear pajama in gray and white, with a bulging belly and a short, stubby tail on the back, completely mismatched with her chilly and noble demeanor.
No wonder Lin Zifeng ended up laughing out loud.
"What are you laughing at?"
Realizing that Lin Zifeng’s gaze carried a hint of mockery, Nangong Bing glared fiercely at him, then her expression turned incredibly strange as she stared intently at her attire, her face suddenly turning cold.
She knew what Lin Zifeng was laughing at.
"I, I wasn’t laughing."
While saying this, Lin Zifeng struggled to suppress his laughter, but he was almost about to burst out laughing.
Nangong Bing could feel her cheeks getting slightly hot, being mocked by someone of such low status was a huge blow.
Without thinking, the usually calm Nangong Bing had only one thought, to quickly run to her room and change out of these pajamas, otherwise, this detestable guy might mock her forever if he decided to make a fuss over this cartoon pajama incident, and her image built up over a lifetime would be completely ruined.
But to get to her room, she had to walk past him. If she left in front of him , he would probably laugh himself to death.
Whimper, why am I, Nangong Bing, so pitiful, oh Lord, why do you treat me this way? Just when I had overcome the company’s toughest crisis and our group was just starting to make progress, you had to send me this annoying guy. What did I do in my past life to deserve this?
Nangong Bing truly felt like crying. If only she could command him to come and go with a snap of her fingers, it might be more bearable, but unfortunately, he was not the kind you could manipulate at will.
