chapter 4 shameless man

"I'm going back to my room!" Unable to tolerate her father's attitude any longer, after brewing the tea, Feifei Ouyang said to Cheng Ouyang.

"Impolite, didn't you see that we have a guest? Sit down!" Cheng Ouyang scolded.

Feifei Ouyang sat down reluctantly, her expression cold.

"Why did you suddenly come to Zhonghai?" Cheng Ouyang asked politely.

"I've been discharged," Fei Shen replied with a faint smile, his eyes revealing an unknown sense of vicissitude.

"Could it be that this guy used to be a soldier?"

"Could he be a special forces soldier?"

Feifei Ouyang thought to herself. However, even so, it didn't seem to warrant her father treating him with such respect, let alone lighting his cigarette for him.

"This is my daughter, Feifei Ouyang. Call her 'Miss'!" Cheng Ouyang pointed at Feifei Ouyang.

"He might be older than me, though," Feifei Ouyang muttered.

"Ah, each to their own!" Fei Shen waved his hand nonchalantly.

"By the way, I came to Zhonghai this time to ask for a favor. Can you find me a job?" Fei Shen said casually.

"Sure, no problem. You can choose any position in the company, even my own position," Cheng Ouyang said with a smile.

"Is he crazy? Is he really asking my father for a job as a high-level executive? Is he even qualified?" Feifei Ouyang thought to herself, suspecting that her father had lost his mind.

"Do you need a 'grandpa' in your company?" Fei Shen looked at Cheng Ouyang and asked.

Feifei Ouyang couldn't help but burst into laughter, spraying the tea she had just brought to her mouth all over the place.

Cheng Ouyang felt embarrassed when he looked at Fei Shen and didn't know what to say.

"Over the years, I've only learned those skills. If you want me to work as a high-level executive in your company, it's impossible. I know my own abilities," Fei Shen shrugged and said nonchalantly.

Upon hearing this, Feifei Ouyang gave Fei Shen a knowing look.

"In that case, any job will do. Security guard, janitor, I don't mind. But I can't work in your company; I'm not used to it. Do you know about Tianxue International? See if you can arrange something there!" Fei Shen said.

"This jerk is asking my father to find him a job as a security guard or a janitor. Why didn't he just pay the taxi fare?" Feifei Ouyang thought with speechless incredulity.

"That would be too much trouble for you!" Cheng Ouyang said.

Feifei Ouyang had been listening to their conversation all along, and at this point, she didn't want to say anything. She was utterly shocked by the two of them. What were they up to?

"Over the years, I've endured a lot of hardship. It doesn't matter anymore," Fei Shen shrugged, hiding nothing. Cheng Ouyang was one of the few people who knew about his background, and he trusted him because Cheng Ouyang was a good person. Moreover, Fei Shen had saved his life five years ago. That's why he came to Zhonghai to find Cheng Ouyang.

"Alright, I'll make arrangements," Cheng Ouyang nodded.

"Well, I'm going to take a shower. It's really hot today," Fei Shen said casually.

"Feifei, go and get a towel," Cheng Ouyang instructed.

"Oh," Feifei Ouyang replied listlessly. When Fei Shen mentioned taking a shower, she had already anticipated this.

In the bathroom, cold water stung Fei Shen's every nerve. With his eyes closed, he allowed the cold water to wash over him. His bronze-colored upper body was covered in scars, a crisscross of injuries, and his muscular contours exuded a subtle but violent beauty.

"Phew," Fei Shen exhaled a cloud of steam. After eight years in the military, including five years with Tiandao, he seemed to have nothing left except for these scars. Military scars symbolized honor, but now, his scars were just scars.

"Dad, who is that country bumpkin?" Sitting in the living room, Feifei Ouyang looked at Cheng Ouyang and asked softly.

"Feifei! I won't allow you to speak like that!" Cheng Ouyang replied with irritation.

"What does he do then?" Feifei Ouyang changed her approach.

"Don't ask what you shouldn't. Remember, don't be impolite. Be more respectful to Fei Shen in the future," Cheng Ouyang warned.

"Old man, could he be your secret child from an affair?"

"No, that doesn't make sense. If that were the case, he should call me 'brother' instead!" Feifei Ouyang muttered.

"Shut up!" Cheng Ouyang told his daughter.

"In any case, remember what I told you. Don't be rude!" Cheng Ouyang emphasized.

"Hmph, if you value him so much, you might as well marry your daughter to him!" Faced with Cheng Ouyang's rebuke, Feifei Ouyang's eyes welled up with tears. She had rarely heard her father speak harshly to her, and today, because of that guy, Cheng Ouyang had scolded her more than once. It was not just that; he even made her serve that guy by preparing tea and doing other tasks.

"Hmph, he still has to be willing. I wouldn't mind!" Cheng Ouyang said, feeling irritated.

Feifei Ouyang looked at Cheng Ouyang, speechless. She suddenly felt like the world had gone mad. Who was the biological child, and who was the wild one?

After taking a cold shower and having a meal with Cheng Ouyang, Feifei Ouyang had lost her appetite. Fei Shen's manners and his personality left her with a completely negative impression. Unfortunately, her father treated him so respectfully.

Cheng Ouyang hadn't eaten much either, as most of the dishes ended up in Fei Shen's stomach.

"Have you finished your meal? If it's not enough, I can have the kitchen prepare more!" Cheng Ouyang smiled.

"No need," Fei Shen shook his head.

Feifei Ouyang looked at Fei Shen expectantly. She had thought he would leave after taking a shower, arranging a job, and having dinner. Wasn't it time for him to go?

"Well, I'll probably have to stay here for a few days," Fei Shen said with a casual tone, dispelling Feifei Ouyang's thoughts.

"Alright, you can stay here permanently from now on. If you prefer peace and quiet, Feifei and I can move out!" Cheng Ouyang said with a smile.

As for Cheng Ouyang, in Feifei Ouyang's eyes, he was beyond salvation.

"No need, I'll stay here for a few days and find my own place," Fei Shen said.

"Don't say anything more to me!" Fei Shen stopped Cheng Ouyang from speaking.

Cheng Ouyang, hearing this, decided not to insist any further.

"I'm going to take a nap. Don't treat me as a guest!" Fei Shen waved his hand.

"It's not that we don't treat you as a guest; it's that you don't treat yourself as one!" Feifei Ouyang muttered.

"No, I have to get rid of this guy. Otherwise, I won't have any peace!" Feifei Ouyang thought.

"Ah! Bastard, you've entered my room!" Feifei Ouyang shouted angrily.

However, she was pulled back by Cheng Ouyang. "Dad!" Feifei Ouyang called pitifully.

Meanwhile, Fei Shen had already settled onto the bed and soon started snoring. The bed was soft and fragrant, and it felt very comfortable, unlike any he had slept in for a long time.

This nap stretched into the late afternoon, and Fei Shen was feeling quite refreshed. He was even considering sleeping a bit more.

Pushing open the bathroom door, he was met with a dazzling array of lingerie. Fei Shen rolled his eyes, thinking about the curvaceous figure of the young woman and the sexy lingerie. His imagination started running wild, making him feel a bit hot under the collar.

Shaking his head, Fei Shen reminded himself that this girl was Cheng Ouyang's daughter, and he shouldn't be thinking such thoughts. After all, Uncle Fei Shen was already called, and it would be improper!

Exiting the bathroom, he saw Feifei Ouyang sitting on the couch, snacking away.

"Hey, where's the old man?" Fei Shen asked.

"He's out," Feifei Ouyang replied coldly. Her attitude turned sour when her father wasn't around.

Fei Shen didn't mind her attitude and took a seat on the couch. "It's almost dark now, when are we having dinner?"

"I guess that's the main concern, right?" Feifei Ouyang rolled her eyes in exasperation, thinking to herself what a glutton Fei Shen was.

Fei Shen, eyes fixed on the TV, casually grabbed a snack and popped it into his mouth, completely ignoring Feifei Ouyang's icy glare.

Trying again, Fei Shen reached for another snack, only to find that Feifei Ouyang had already grabbed the entire bag of chips and was looking rather smug.

"Girls who eat these things tend to gain weight easily," Fei Shen said solemnly.

Then, under Feifei Ouyang's watchful gaze, Fei Shen calmly and unabashedly took the snacks from her hands, displaying a level of self-assuredness that left Feifei Ouyang flabbergasted.

Rolling her eyes in exasperation, Feifei Ouyang muttered, "Where did Dad meet such an extraordinary guy?"

"Is there more?" Fei Shen shook the now empty bag.

"No, that was the last one," Feifei Ouyang said, annoyed.

Seeing Fei Shen's unsatisfied expression, Feifei Ouyang shook her head in resignation. "You're impossible."

A text message notification chimed: "Dad won't be coming home tonight. He has some work at the company. Take Fei Shen out for dinner."

Feifei Ouyang stared at the message in disbelief, wondering how her father could trust his precious daughter to be alone with this guy.

"Go out for dinner? Take this scoundrel out for dinner? Just imagining that makes me cringe. He'll embarrass me in public with his eating habits!" Feifei Ouyang thought to herself.

"Tonight, I guess we won't have dinner. My old man has work, and Lan Yi, who usually cooks for us, has some family matters," Feifei Ouyang said nonchalantly.

Inwardly, she couldn't help but feel a little smug. "Hmph, starve a bit, you scoundrel!"

"Don't look at me; I absolutely won't cook!" Feifei Ouyang declared.

"I know you, the little miss who doesn't know her way around the kitchen, won't cook. But I can. Where's the kitchen?" Fei Shen asked.
