The Strongest Dandy in the City-Chapter 398: Enduring the Hardship

The summer weather is as fickle as a woman’s temper, changing at a moment’s notice. Hardly had Ye Chenfeng and Ning Yuting stepped out of the bar when "boom, boom, boom," several muffled claps of thunder resounded, and a drizzle began to sprinkle down to the ground. The rain grew heavier and soon took on the form of a downpour. Pedestrians who were strolling on the streets scattered like birds and beasts, each rushing to find a place to take shelter.

Ye Chenfeng had initially wanted to hail a taxi. Although cabs were whizzing back and forth on the street, they were all occupied with passengers. After a futile wait of over ten minutes for an empty cab, Ye Chenfeng and Ning Yuting were completely soaked. Continuing to wait like this was pointless, so they decided to find a nearby hotel instead.

Ye Chenfeng’s right arm was tightly wrapped around Ning Yuting’s slender waist, while her arms instinctively hooked around Ye Chenfeng’s neck. She squeezed her body into Ye Chenfeng’s embrace, occasionally making "smack, smack" sounds with her mouth. She hardly resembled a mature woman; more like an adorable young girl!

Finding a hotel nearby the bar, Ye Chenfeng carried Ning Yuting into a room, and after entering, he gently set her down.

The room’s lights were very bright. Ning Yuting’s delicate eyebrows trembled slightly, and her fair cheeks blushed faintly. Her moist lips glistened under the light.

Ye Chenfeng removed his thoroughly drenched clothes and found a bathrobe in the room to wear, immediately feeling much more comfortable.

After changing, Ye Chenfeng noticed Ning Yuting lying on the bed, incessantly pulling at her soaked attire. Her eyes were tightly shut, and her expression was one of discomfort.

No wonder, with all her clothes drenched, it would be odd if she weren’t uncomfortable! If he let Ning Yuting spend the night in wet clothes, she would almost certainly fall ill the next day. Hesitating for a moment, Ye Chenfeng still approached the bedside.

"I’m not trying to take advantage of you. I’m doing this to help you. It wouldn’t be good if you got sick tomorrow," Ye Chenfeng muttered to himself as he looked at Ning Yuting lying on the bed.

Just as Ye Chenfeng was about to help her change out of the wet clothes, Ning Yuting’s eyebrows quivered slightly. Her eyelids opened at that moment, her pupils filled with confusion as she furrowed her brows, as if contemplating something.

After a moment, Ning Yuting’s cheeks turned as red as ripe apples. The haze in her mind cleared completely, and seeing Ye Chenfeng’s outstretched hand, she felt no shame or anger towards him. In fact, she felt a faint joy and whispered softly, "Chenfeng, I’m not yet ready to give you my body, but rest assured, my body will always belong to you, Ye Chenfeng. Just give me some more time to prepare, okay?"

Gathering all her courage, Ning Yuting decided not to lie to herself any longer. Ye Chenfeng had firmly entered her heart, and she was gradually accepting this reality. However, she was truly not yet prepared to give her soul and body to Ye Chenfeng.

Hearing Ning Yuting’s words, Ye Chenfeng realized she had misunderstood and asked, slightly taken aback, "You say you’re willing to be my woman? I’m engaged, do you not mind that?"

Ning Yuting bit her red lip and said, "If it weren’t for you, I would have already become Xu Pengfei’s plaything. And you have completely unraveled my heart’s knot. Even if I were to be your secret woman, I would be willing."

Ye Chenfeng was deeply moved by Ning Yuting’s response. He gently kissed her forehead and said, "Silly woman, rest assured, I will never make you sad or be the woman in the shadows beside me. I promise you that."

Ye Chenfeng’s words warmed Ning Yuting’s heart, and she shook her head, saying, "Chenfeng, I truly don’t need any status. After all I’ve been through, meeting you is the greatest fortune of my life. Just being by your side is more than enough for me."

With the conversation taking this turn, what more could Ye Chenfeng say? His heart warmed up, thoroughly touched by Ning Yuting.

...

The next morning, Ye Chenfeng was woken up early by the ringing of his cell phone. It was his uncle Ye Dongjian calling, "Chenfeng, why didn’t you and Yuting come back last night? You didn’t make a move on her, did you? You mustn’t do that! Otherwise, our familial titles would get all mixed up, and I don’t want to start calling you brother-in-law."

Glancing at Ning Yuting still sleeping beside him, Ye Chenfeng said to Ye Dongjian on the phone, "If that day really comes, Uncle, you’ll just have to call me brother-in-law!"

"You little rascal, are you forcing me to tell Xiaofei about this? Don’t provoke me. I’m not someone to be trifled with, so you better behave yourself," Ye Dongjian said indignantly.

All Ye Dongjian got in reply was the busy tone "Beep beep beep beep beep—".

Having slept in the same bed with a beauty for a night, Ye Chenfeng found it an extremely difficult ordeal. Although he kept reciting Buddhist scriptures in his mind to quench the flames of desire, it merely subdued the passion swirling within him to a degree! (To be continued.
