C4 Am I Hearing Correctly? Mistress?

Could she still be dreaming?

Had the events yesterday tired her out so much she still hadn’t woken up yet?

Xia Yun pinched her face hard using the tip of two fingers.

The pain was all too real.

Then it was true...

She had really married a relative stranger.

Xia Yun’s actions did not escape Lu Fengting. He could not help but shake his head in disgust. In his eyes, he revealed his absolute dislike for her. He stood up and directed his attention to Qian Feng. “Take her to the manor. Make sure she doesn’t lose face outside.”

After having said that, Lu Fengting turned around and walked out of the room in a rather carefree manner.

Did he mean her just now?

By the time it dawned on Xia Yun that he was talking about her, Lu Fengting had already disappeared outside of the Civil Affairs Bureau building.

Qian Feng walked up to the office staff with a fixed smile on his face, and said, “Be sure you keep your lips sealed about this matter.” He was naturally talking about the marriage certificate Lu Fengting had obtained that day.

As a famous public figure, Lu Fengting’s every move was scrutinized by the media. If word of today’s matter got out, the headlines of every major media outlet would be emblazoned with the news of Lu Fengting’s secret marriage that day.

The staff member nodded obediently and said in a soft voice, “I already know this. Director Jia has made this clear.”

Qian Feng nodded his head in satisfaction, then turned around and said in Xia Yun’s direction, “Let’s head out.”

After returning to the car, Xia Yun’s impatience was obvious. She said to him, “The marriage certificate is already signed. Now it’s time to hold your end of the bargain. Let Ning go.”

Qian Feng could only shake his head in response, saying, “Miss Xia, the marriage certificate is only the first step in a list of many things you must cooperate with. Now, drive.”

Displeased with the answer she got, Xia Yun gritted her teeth and hatefully said, “Take me to see Ning first.”

She wanted to know how Ning was doing right then and whether he was being treated well or not.

Qian Feng nodded his head in agreement. “Sure.” After having said that, he activated two buttons on the phone screen and handed it to her.

Xia Yun focused her eyes and looked into the phone screen. Ning appeared in the video. It showed he was in some sort of room. The room this time, though simple, was much better than the dark room he was previously held captive in. There was a bed situated next to Ning and many snacks were spread across the bed. However, in Ning’s shocked state, he did appear interested in the snacks.

“Because of your cooperation, we upgraded his place of residence and brought in snacks for him.” Qian Feng smiled and quickly said, “Your cooperation is closely tied to how well we will be treating him in the future.”

Qian Feng’s words rang loud and clear in Xia Yun’s ears and her bright eyes glanced over at him before settling back in her seat.

The car drove them out of the city center and arrived at the suburbs. Soon, a huge manor rose in front of them. Qian Feng greeted the guards and pretty soon, the two large, hollow electric doors opened to let them in.

The car drove down the long driveway to the manor. It took a good five minutes to pass through the courtyard and arrive at the main building.

Qian Feng led her to the living room and pointed to the sofa. He glanced at Xia Yun and said to her, “Miss Xia, please have a seat.”

Xia Yun thought that they were long past the early stages of politeness and directly sat down on the sofa without saying a word.

Qian Feng smiled at her and continued with what he was saying, “Miss Xia, from now on, you are the mistress of this manor.”

“Mistress?” The word left Xia Yun a little dazed.

Qian Feng nodded his head. “Of course. This manor is only one of Mr. Lu’s many properties. Naturally, after you got married, the title of the mistress of this place has fallen to you. Here is the map of the manor to help you get around.”

Qian Feng directed a maid to bring over a piece of paper with scribbles that looked like a map. He laid out the piece of paper on the coffee table and said, “Please familiarize yourself with this map as soon as possible so that getting lost wouldn’t be a problem.”

It goes without saying that it was easy for people not familiar with the manor to get lost here.
