Chapter 11 - Its just a toy
As Li Luxian eyes landed on that gun, an astonishment settled deeply in his heart. No one could ever expect that someone as delicate and frail looking as Chen Feng could possibly be in the possession of a deadly weapon like a gun.
Li Luxian lips curled up. It looked like his wife was far more interesting than he expected her to be.
"Don’t mind it, it is just a toy", Chen Feng said sheepishly hurriedly trying to pick up the gun and wipe it out from the face of the earth. It was foolish of her-so foolish of her. She definitely didn’t want Mr. Li to find out why she had a gun.
As she bent to grab it, Li Luxian hands reached out swiftly and picked it up before her fingers could touch the hard black metal,
"Toy?", his voice was manifested profound amus.e.m.e.nt as he examined the gun. Chen Feng’s heart leaped as she could see him examining the gun. A man like him should be familiar with the gun so there was no way she could fool him.
"If I remember correctly, it is a Sig Sauer P320. Isn’t it?", he said, a silly smile still hanging on his face.
Chen Feng didn’t know what to say now that her lie was caught openly.
She realized that he was not only familiar with guns, he also had good knowledge about them. Recognizing the gun model and name in just one glance? Did this man possess some sort of divine gift to be able to have such a degree of expertise in every field?
Sig Sauer P320-that name also piqued Zhang Xin’s interest as a ripple could be seen on his usually cold, stiff face and he tilted his head slightly to look at that gun.
Meanwhile, Li Luxian titled the gun to its right side as his eyes widened slightly due to awe, "And one even without a serial number"
Without a serial number, that fact also flabbergasted secretary Zhang Xin and he looked at that woman with surprise and shock evident on his face.
It was his duty to get out all the information about Chen Feng. And to be able to get a Sig Sauer P320 and that one without a serial number, she must be having a lot more connections than they could think of.
Chen Feng snatched away her gun rudely and somewhat insolently from Mr. Li before he could unfold more of her secrets.
"Don’t mind it. I just kept it for protection", she said in a cold icy tone intending to make him give up his ideas of further interrogating her. She opened her cupboard and placed the gun there, all the time praying that Mr. Li wouldn’t ask further questions about it.
"Protection?", Li Luxian voice held a hint of curiosity, "From who?"
Li Luxian could detect strong resentment and hostility flashing across her eyes and they darkened. She stopped momentarily while placing the gun in the cupboard. Her eyes looked absent and her mind seemed like it was somewhere else as she stared blankly in space. Then she shook her head, getting rid of those emotions in her eyes.
"No one.", she shook her head. She wasn’t willing to give any more information.
"Weren’t we going to register marriage?", she said intending to change the topic.
Li Luxian gave his secretary a look. Being with his boss for the last ten years, Zhang Xin quickly understood what his Boss wanted from just a mere glance.
"Let’s go", as Li Luxian agreed and didn’t ask any other question Chen Feng visibly sighed in relief as her shoulders relaxed.
Walking out of her apartment, Chen Feng could sense the looks she was getting in her direction from the aunties of neighboring apartments. That man was sure an eye-candy. Especially with his dress and elegant gait, one couldn’t help but stop in his track to give him a second glance. In a poor region where she had rented an apartment, they didn’t get a person as refreshing and youthful as Li Luxian, visiting every day.
Those were all the aunties who used to treat Chen Feng coldly because of her bad financial status and lack of respectful attitude. But soon they were going to regret it.
Chen Feng couldn’t believe it that how could she fail to recognize a person like him who conspicuously stood out tall due to his looks and temperament. How could she mistake someone like him for a bumpkin?
Just as they stepped out of the building, Chen Feng’s eyes landed on a big black Mercedes standing in its glory in the street. A few bystanders taking their time to admire it but no one dared to near it as if scared of its magnificence.
At that moment, Li Luxian felt like something was wrong. His eyes unconsciously scanned around the area. He stopped abruptly. His eyes caught an ephemeral reflection of a person trying to escape unnoticed. But that person’s evasive movements couldn’t elude Li Luxian perceptive eyes. At a distance, Li Luxian could also discern a familiar retreating car.
"Is it him?", Li Luxian asked Zhang Xin knowing that his secretary who was on high alert all the time, would have seen that suspicious movement for sure.
Zhang Xin had equally tense expressions.
"Yes, Mr. Li"
Li Luxian was quiet for a while deciding what to do. Meanwhile, Chen Feng walked closer to them. Li Luxian looked at her, unsure about how to deal with the situation.
"What happened?", she asked confused finding them stopped near their car with disturbed expressions.
But instead of an answer, she was given a kiss.
Chen Feng: "!!!"
