Urban God of War: The Live-in Son-in-law

```Hong Qingyan did not go directly to the orphanage; instead, she first visited a shopping mall to buy a variety of stationery and storybooks, and then headed to a toy store to purchase toys. In the process, she traversed several places.

Ye Feng was just accompanying her, not saying much, just watching the limping girl constantly on the move and couldn’t help but feel touched.

Honestly, although Hong Qingyan wasn’t as beautiful as her sister Hong Yuting, when it came to personality and kindness, she was far superior to Hong Yuting.

Perhaps due to her background, she rarely argued with others and spoke little, her personality being solitary and quiet; however, Ye Feng knew that deep down, this woman was very proud and fiercely independent.

For some reason, looking at this woman of good nature, pure-hearted as a Heavenly Mountain Snow Lotus, Ye Feng felt a gentle affection beginning to stir within him.

There was a time when he, a ruler who had stained the lands with blood, had a heart as hard as iron. But now, it seemed to be slowly melting.

It’s undeniable that as one of the most outstanding individuals of the younger generation nationwide, the name "Northern Border Sovereign" once drew widespread attention from aristocratic ladies in the capital. Many beautiful and talented women from noble families had yearned just to catch a glimpse of his true face.

Ye Feng remembered how, three years ago, on a visit to Dragon City Capital, many ladies and talented women flocked to see him, causing such traffic congestion that the grand avenue tens of meters wide in Dragon City was completely blocked. It even led to a stampede; dozens of people were trampled to death or injured.

But facing those noble beauties swarming to him like butterflies to a flame, Ye Feng remained unmoved; however, now, the tenderness buried deepest in his heart was being slowly stirred.

Hong Qingyan, holding a stack of stationery, said with a bright smile, "I am really sorry, Big Brother Ye. I got carried away and bought so much. I should have prepared earlier, and now I’ve made you run around with me. You’re not getting impatient with me, are you, Big Brother Ye?"

Ye Feng replied with a smile, "Not at all, I don’t have much else to do. Today, Seventeen and I are your followers—we’ll go wherever you go."

Hong Qingyan lifted her snowy chin, thought carefully, and said, "Right, I need to buy some new clothes as well. Summer is coming, and I want to get some summer clothes for the children."

Afterward, the two returned to the shopping mall until they had almost everything they needed. The car was packed full, and only then did they set off for the Jiangdu West Orphanage.

The West Orphanage was located to the west of Jiangdu. Compared to the East New District, which had developed in recent years, this area had become an old district. The buildings were disorderly, short, and dilapidated, with the orphanage tucked away in a corner of these worn-down structures.

The place was not large, the iron gate was rust-stained, and even the walls were peeling and mottled. Yet in front of the dilapidated gate was parked a brand-new, shiny BMW 530, which was quite eye-catching.

Next to the white BMW, a young man in a white suit stood. He was well-dressed, seemingly a successful member of society. Holding a bouquet of flowers, he kept looking around as if waiting for someone.

As soon as the young man in the white suit saw Hong Qingyan getting out of the car, his eyes lit up. He approached her quickly, smiling, "Qingyan, you’ve finally arrived. I’ve been waiting for you here for quite a while."

Hong Qingyan was surprised and said, "Ah, Big Brother Yu Jie, what brings you here?"

Yu Jie smiled and said, "Listen to what you’re saying. We both came from the orphanage, this place is our home, our roots. How could I not come?"

At this point, he hurriedly offered her the bouquet of flowers, "These are for you; I hope you like them."

Hong Qingyan was taken aback and did not reach out to take them, instead asking, "What’s this for, Big Brother Yu?"

The young man, his hair combed slickly, said with a smile, "I don’t mean anything by it, I just thought that flowers suit a beauty; moreover, when we meet, I can’t come empty-handed—that wouldn’t be gentlemanly. It’s not my style."

"You’re kidding, Big Brother Yu. I wouldn’t dare claim to be a beauty; today, I am here to visit the children in the orphanage."

After a moment of thought, Hong Qingyan said, "Well then, why not give the flowers to the children? They will probably like them."

Yu Jie’s brow furrowed slightly, but he quickly smoothed it out and with a smile agreed, "You’re right."

"Then, I’ll thank you on behalf of the children," Hong Qingyan said, smiling as she finally accepted the bouquet.

Though she was usually quiet and reserved, it didn’t mean she was emotionally unintelligent. Yu Jie had shown her more courtesy than other ladies in the past, and especially today, he had made a special trip here to wait for her, even bringing flowers.

Even without having mentioned it outright, Hong Qingyan knew what he was thinking, and it was precisely for this reason she hadn’t acknowledged his words directly. Of course, being a kind woman, even in refusal, she didn’t want to embarrass him, so she came up with a clever way to decline gracefully.

Yu Jie said with a smile, "Actually, I came today with quite a lot of things to give to the kids at the orphanage, like books, book bags, clothes, etc. Let’s go in together, shall we?"

"Sure, but please wait a moment."

Hong Qingyan turned and walked to where Ye Feng had just gotten out of the car, and started to push his wheelchair.

Because they were worried the car might hurt the children inside, they couldn’t drive it straight in and had to park at the gate, then carry the items inside. After being notified, several staff members quickly came out to help.

Seeing Hong Qingyan herself pushing the wheelchair, Yu Jie glanced at the man on it and finally couldn’t resist asking, "Qingyan, who is this?"

Hong Qingyan was just about to say he was her fiancé, but when the words reached her lips, she suddenly held back, because she just couldn’t bring herself to say it.```

Who knew Ye Feng would chuckle and say, "I am her fiancé."

"Fiancé?"

Yu Jie’s eyes widened instantly, his face filled with disbelief, and it took him a while to ask, "That’s impossible, right, Qingyan? The man in the wheelchair, is he really your fiancé?"

Hong Qingyan didn’t say anything, only nodded slightly.

A dark look flashed in the depths of Yu Jie’s eyes. Although it was fleeting, it did not escape Ye Feng’s perceptive gaze.

As the Northern Border Sovereign, Ye Feng had already noticed upon getting out of the car that this well-dressed so-called successful man had designs on Hong Qingyan.

Of course, as the saying goes, a fair lady is a gentleman’s favored pursuit, and Ye Feng would not take offense to the man’s interest in Hong Qingyan. But seeing that Hong Qingyan had no interest in him, Ye Feng decided to declare himself as her fiancé to spare Hong Qingyan any trouble.

Yu Jie shook his head, smiling as he said, "Qingyan, I really can’t believe it. You were still single half a month ago. How could you suddenly have a fiancé now? You’re not, playing a joke on me, are you?"

Hong Qingyan replied, "This is my grandfather’s wish."

"Mr. Hong’s wish?"

Yu Jie paused, looked at Ye Feng, and suddenly smiled, "May I know how to address you, my friend? It seems you are wheelchair-bound—are your legs not working, or are you unable to walk because of a broken foot? If that’s the case, it’s really such a pity; someone as young as you ending up disabled in the lower half of the body."

Even though Yu Jie’s words seemed caring, the mocking and sarcastic tone was evident.

Ye Feng’s expression didn’t change in the slightest, and he couldn’t even be bothered to respond, just a socially acclaimed success, not worthy of fuss over a word or two.

Hong Qingyan also didn’t pick up on that remark, just as at that moment Director Liu from the orphanage, a woman with a kind face in her fifties, came out.

"Qingyan, you’re here." Director Liu walked over quickly.

"Mrs. Liu, hello!" Hong Qingyan turned around and bowed to Director Liu.

Seeing this, Yu Jie also turned and bowed, calling out loudly, "Director Liu, hello!"

Director Liu was taken aback, looking back and forth at the man, and said in astonishment, "This gentleman looks somewhat familiar, but honestly, I... "

"Director Liu, you don’t recognize me? I’m Yu Jie, the one who was in the same class as Qingyan, the one you often scolded for being a troublemaker."

"Ah... you’re Yu Jie? You’ve grown so much."

Director Liu was sincerely surprised and shook her head with a sigh, "It’s amazing, you’ve all grown up so fast. I remember Yu Jie, you used to be so skinny and dark, and now you’ve grown into a talented young man, achieving such great success in your career. It makes me so happy."

Yu Jie waved his hand modestly and said, "Director Liu, you’re flattering me way too much. My career has just achieved a little bit of success. I’ve started my own company and am my own boss. Of course, having the success I have now, I owe a lot to Director Liu’s nurturing and education when I was a child."

At this point, Yu Jie pointed at Hong Qingyan and said, "That’s why, as the saying goes, ’When you drink water, think of its source.’ Today, I came back to the orphanage with Qingyan, to express our gratitude."

Director Liu glanced at Yu Jie and then at Hong Qingyan, expressing surprise, "You two, aren’t together, are you? Well, it would make sense. You both are a handsome couple and could be..."

But before she could finish, Hong Qingyan interrupted, "Mrs. Liu, actually, I just happened to run into Brother Yu Jie today. We’re not together, and also, Mrs. Liu, I have a boyfriend now, and he came with me today."

"That’s right, Mrs. Liu, his name is Ye Feng, and he’s a really good person."

As she said this, Hong Qingyan turned her head to gesture towards Ye Feng.

Director Liu said apologetically, "I’m truly sorry, Qingyan, for the misunderstanding. Please don’t take it to heart."

With that, Director Liu nodded slightly towards Tang Feng to express her apologies.

"Director Liu, hello!" Ye Feng greeted her proactively, even lowering his head slightly.

This scene, if seen by the soldiers of the Northern Border, would surely shock them. Their king was taking the initiative to greet an outsider and even bowing his head slightly—a totally unprecedented gesture. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Of course, for Ye Feng, Director Liu was someone who had devoted most of her life to running the orphanage, building a home with her effort for those children without families, and she deserved Ye Feng’s respect.

Such a person, with such an admirable character, deserved respect and admiration from the bottom of Ye Feng’s heart, even as the Northern Border Sovereign!

Meanwhile, Yu Jie, having heard Hong Qingyan’s words, had a thoroughly dark expression on his face, feeling extremely displeased. Director Liu had praised him highly, which he had enjoyed, but Hong Qingyan’s words had severely damaged his pride.
