My Nightclub Landlady Chapter 22

After my brother in arms died to save my life, I swore to protect his sister, no matter the cost. Little did I know the grip the underworld had in her town. Working undercover in a Nightclub/Hotel in the gangster infested city of Tianhe, I must deal with the problems that arise from corruption, money, and the search for power.

Chapter 022 Pretend Boyfriend

"Give him some time. He can't give you anything now, not in this state. He thinks that getting to know him will only drag you down. It's actually a great fatherly love. Do you know how restless his heart is? He's survived all these years alone. He sees you grow so big, so tall, and he wants to hug you, touch your head, and call you Fei Fei, but he cannot. His heart must have experienced countless struggles. He cannot let you stay here, and he will use the silent treatment to make you go back to Sunan. Back to your good life!"

Qin Feng suddenly thought of his own father. It was painful!  

Zhu Fangguo's operation was very successful and all the tests showed satisfactory results. After years of hard work, his body and bones were very strong. Although he was old, he had only suffered superficial trauma, it seemed like he could be discharged from the hospital after a brief period of rest and recuperation.

When he woke up and saw Zhu Fei in front of him, he shed complicated tears. He wanted to recognize the daughter who loved him and cared about him, but reality told him that he could not.

If he restored the father-daughter relationship with Fei Fei, poverty and unfairness would enter her life. Over the years, Zhu Fangguo had long thought of it. He was old and had no pursuits other than being poor, eating, and waiting to die, but his daughter could not live like that. She had to live well; that was his only thought and sustenance.

"Are you all right, Dad?"

Zhu Fei was crying. She excitedly took Zhu Fangguo's wrinkled and rough hand, , "I will accompany you; always accompany you... We will not separate ever again."

"You should leave!"

Zhu Fangguo tried his best to yell. He did not want Fei Fei to see his fragile and broken side. No matter what, he did not want to drag his daughter down. He could not let Fei Fei fall in the water and fire, even if it killed him.

Qin Feng interjected, "Uncle, you just finished surgery. You have to stay calm. You must control your mood or your injuries will worsen."

Zhu Fangguo was stunned, and then noticed the tall man beside the bed. He took back his previous irritability and looked at Zhu Fei peacefully. "This is......."

"He is-"

Qin Feng interrupted before Zhu Fei could finish: "Uncle, my name is Qin Feng. I am Zhu Fei's boyfriend. She and I were just pa.s.sing by the square when we found you. You can rest a.s.sured, we will take care of you and I will take good care of Fei Fei."

Whoo.

When she heard this, Zhu Fei was confused. She did not understand what Qin Feng meant. He could pretend in front of Jia Dapeng, but there was no need in front of her father. Why was he...?

Zhu Fei chose silence, and did not tell the truth.

Hearing Qin Feng's words, Zhu Fangguo's heart had mixed feelings. He was Zhu Fei's biological father; he was always concerned about events in his daughter's life. Now, Zhu Fei was coming into the age of marriage. Everyone said that a daughter's marriage is equivalent to a second birth. Choosing a good man meant the second half of the life would be basically good. So, Zhu Fangguo carefully looked Qin Feng up and down. He wanted to see what kind of man he was. Although he tried to prevent her from meeting him, he had to go through the examination of her boyfriend.

This was not only a father's instinct, but also out of the yearning he had for Fei Fei over the years and the love that had never been forsaken.

"Qin Feng, how long have you been together?"

Zhu Fangguo's anesthetic was slowly weakening and his injuries were starting to hurt, but he bore it. He did not want to let Fei Fei see his pain. Even if it hurt, he would first understand Qin Feng's basic situation.

"We have been together for nearly two months. We met after she came to Tianhe. We are very happy together, and I like Fei Fei very much. Uncle, don't worry, I promise on my honor that I will give her happiness. Whether you recognize her or not, I will take care of you and support you with her. We are still young and we can give up anything, but affection is not something you can give up so easily. Blood is thicker than water. Fei Fei looks forward to a relationship with you every day; I hope-"

Zhu Fangguo interrupted before he finished: "OK, OK, stop talking. I want to get some sleep."

Zhu Fei also wanted to take advantage of this moment. She wanted to open her mouth, but was stopped by Qin Feng.

Coming to the waiting room outside the ward, Zhu Fei looked questioningly at Qin Feng. "Why did you do that? Don't think I don't know what you're up to. Let me tell you, I will not get a boyfriend so easily. You pretended in front of Jia Dapeng, and I was very angry about that. Although you helped me, I still don't appreciate what you did."

"What do you know? You're not seeing the bigger picture."

Qin Feng lit a cigarette, and said, "Your father wants to see that you can be happy more than anything. You have no relatives in Tianhe. He does not want to meet you and is naturally worried about your safety and life, so he will urge you to go back to Sunan. But now he thinks you have a boyfriend, and I look solid enough that his anxious heart feels a.s.sured. This will not only buy you time to keep in touch with him, but also help him recover from his illness. With my care and commitment, he will be happy. In addition, you aren't very affectionate. In my eyes, you are like a child who has not yet grown up. I will not have any inappropriate thoughts about you."

"You..."

Although Qin Feng was very reasonable, Zhu Fei was a little stunned by what he said. She wanted to scold him, but couldn't bring herself to.

"Well, you take care of your father. I have to go. If Jia Dapeng still comes by to hara.s.s you, call me immediately."

Qin Feng looked at his watch. It was three o'clock in the afternoon. He had to contact Sister Flower. After all, his only purpose was to take good care of Sister Flower, and he could not allow her to be hurt even a little. He still didn't know what happened to her with Brother Jun.

"Oh."

Zhu Fei was stunned; the corners of her eyes flashed a hint of inexplicable gloom. Her mouth opened and closed a few times, until finally she said, "You... Be careful. Nothing good can come of provoking Jia Dapeng."

"Well, you should care about your father. Don't worry about me."

Qin Feng reached out and tapped Zhu Fei's head. "You should take care in the future. Don't get your panties in a bunch."

"You..."

Zhu Fei blushed. Before she could react, Qin Feng already disappeared in the corridor.

!!!

"Sister Flower, where are you?"

Qin Feng went out of the hospital and got on the bus before making a phone call. "How did it go with Brother Jun?"

"I'm at the Free Man Bar. Come here."

Sister Flower was nervous. She needed to consider a lot of things. As for Brother Jun, she needed to think of the management of the Free Man Bar. She also needed to think about Ji Dongchen, Meng Zhaolin, Jia Quan, and Qin Feng.

"Well, I'll be right there."

Hanging up the phone, Qin Feng noticed the unease in Sister Flower's voice, and thought in his heart, "She probably couldn't come to an agreement with Brother Jun. I have known for a long time that people like them often feel deeply about their brothers, but if something really goes wrong, no one can care for each other."
