Chapter 73: A Rebellious Girl

Li Xiaofei was very surprised. He had thought that Chen Fei blowing his beard and glaring at the city leader was already quite bold. He never expected that someone would dare smash the door of the city leader's office.

Who is this courageous subordinate?

Li Xiaofei looked toward the door. A short-haired girl in ultra-short hot pants and a crop top storming in.

She put her hands on her hips and angrily said, "Tan Zhenwei, do you keep your word or not?"

The girl was tall and slender. Her black, tight, crop top and black ultra-short hot pants accentuated her personality. The small black fabric pieces clung tightly to her chest and hips, clearly outlining her not-so-full but appropriately developed curves for her age.

Her exposed skin was as white as fine porcelain and her long legs were perfect in both shape and proportion. She had an oval face with stunning features. However, her short hair was dyed pink. Her purple lipstick and dark eyeshadow gave her a somewhat rebellious look.

Is this the non-mainstream style five hundred years in the future?

Li Xiaofei couldn't help but take a few more glances. Tan Zhenwei's face immediately showed a trace of helplessness.

"Little Ying, Daddy is working," he said with a wry smile. "Can you... give me some face?"

The girl called Little Ying didn't give him any courtesy at all.

"Give you face? Why don't you give An Junru face?" The girl cupped her hands around her mouth like a megaphone and shouted, "You promised An Junru that you would eat on time, not work overtime, and not stay up late... It's already half an hour past your off time. I checked with the restaurant, and not only did you skip dinner, but you also skipped lunch... I am very angry now!"

Tan Zhenwei glanced at Chen Fei and explained with a bitter smile, "My daughter is poorly disciplined, so please forgive her."

Chen Fei said nothing.

Tan Zhenwei turned to the girl and said, "Daddy is entertaining important guests—"

"I don't care who you're entertaining or how important your business is." The girl rudely interrupted, making a non-negotiable demand, "Now, go immediately to the restaurant. I want to watch you finish your dinner."

Tan Zhenwei placed his hand on his forehead in exasperation.

Chen Fei said expressionlessly, "I'll be leaving now."

He then signaled Li Xiaofei with a look. The two of them walked towards the door.

"Huh?" The fierce-looking girl suddenly exclaimed. She stared at Li Xiaofei, scrutinizing him closely. "You... you're that Fist King, aren't you?"

Li Xiaofei didn’t say anything.

"Haha, it's you, definitely you." The girl's face lit up with excitement. "I didn't expect to see you here. I'm a fan, I really like you... Can I get an autograph?"

She pulled out a pen from who-knows-where and pointed to her chest. "Sign here."

Li Xiaofei instinctively glanced at the city leader.

What should I do, sir? Sign or not?

Tan Zhenwei looked somewhat helpless. "Little Ying, stop messing around... Alright, I admit I was wrong. I'll go to the cafeteria with you. Just stop causing trouble."

"Uncle, who are you?" The girl gave Tan Zhenwei a sidelong glance. "Eat if you want, or don't eat if you don't want to. Who wants to accompany you to eat? Step aside if you have nothing better to do and stop getting in the way of my fangirling."

Tan Zhenwei was speechless.

This troublesome daughter.

But he had no choice. He had brought this upon himself. His dedication to work left him little time to accompany or discipline his daughter, resulting in an extended and pronounced rebellious phase. He felt a deep sense of guilt, so he had never spoken harshly to her. He could manage the lives of millions in this large base city, but he couldn't manage his own daughter.

Even as he was ridiculed by his daughter, Tan Zhenwei patiently smiled. "Don't make a fuss."

"Brother Xiaofei, is this your first time at the government offices? Don't be in a hurry to leave. Come on, I'll show you around."

Little Ying took Li Xiaofei's arm. Li Xiaofei struggled a bit, but Little Ying just held on tighter, causing his upper arm to press firmly against her chest

When he felt an incredible softness, Li Xiaofei froze. He was afraid that the city leader might misunderstand if he kept struggling and think he was taking advantage of his daughter.

"Sorry to trouble you, Li Xiaofei," Tan Zhenwei suddenly said. This was the first time he had spoken directly to Li Xiaofei.

"Oh," Li Xiaofei replied expressionlessly.

As such, he was dragged out of the office by the unruly girl like a poor boy being abducted.

Chen Fei frowned and said, "Hey, we're familiar with each other, but you need to manage your daughter. Don't let her waste Little Eighteen's time."

"Eighteen?" Tan Zhenwei looked puzzled.

Chen Fei said nothing more. He left the office and found Grandpa Qin in the parking lot.

"Where's Li Xiaofei?" Grandpa Qin looked around.

"He's been caught by the Tan family's little girl."

Chen Fei got into the car. "Let's go back. That kid can find his way home."

"Hey, you're quite relaxed about this," said Grandpa Qin. He thought for a moment and realized there wasn't much to worry about either. So, he started his old, battered car. The engine roared and smoked as they left the city government compound.

At the City Government Compound, in the Rear Courtyard.

"Where are you taking me?" Li Xiaofei reluctantly withdrew his arm.

He had no desire to deal with a spoiled official's daughter and didn't believe for a second that she was truly his fan. A rebellious girl, oblivious to the hardships of common folk, was not worth his time. If it weren't for the strict security with guards stationed every ten steps and patrols of power armor squads, Li Xiaofei would not have been so compliant.

"Anywhere you like! What do you enjoy?" Tan Qingying asked excitedly. "I can make it happen for you."

Li Xiaofei looked at her and said, "Right now, I just want to go home and eat."

"Eat?" Tan Qingying's eyes lit up, automatically filtering out the rest of his words. She excitedly said, "I know a place with really delicious food. How about I take you there?"

How delicious could it be?

Li Xiaofei suddenly became interested. As someone from 2022, what kind of delicacies hadn't he tasted? However, ever since being abruptly transported to this post-apocalyptic world five hundred years in the future by that dumb dog, he'd been living a monk-like life for months, and his taste buds were crying out for flavor.

He missed bubble tea, crayfish, Da Yao[1], Xiaolongkan[2], Tan Duck Blood, Xianhezhuang, Maotou Gushi, and Banu. Following this official's daughter to indulge his taste buds and stomach sounded like a good idea. Plus, Li Xiaofei was curious to see what high society in this world was like. So he accepted Tan Qingying's invitation.

"Great!" The rebellious girl was as excited as a child with a lollipop. "Wait here for me; I'll be right back... Don't leave, promise you won't leave."

She ran into the office building. Li Xiaofei thought for a moment, took out his old phone, and sent his aunt a voice message saying he would be home late today.

Ten minutes later, Tan Qingying emerged excitedly with two helmets, having changed into tight black leather clothes, high tactical boots. When she saw that Li Xiaofei was still there, her eyes visibly lit up with genuine happiness.

"Here, there's no men's helmet, so you'll have to make do with mine for now," said Tan Qingying. She stuck out her tongue and handed Li Xiaofei a helmet with a super macho pink graffiti design.

Li Xiaofei looked at it and sighed.

The helmet even had two fluffy bunny ears. At least it fits well.

"Are we riding a bike?" Li Xiaofei asked after putting on the helmet.

"Don't worry, I'm a great driver." Tan Qingying laughed proudly at the sight of Li Xiaofei wearing the pink helmet with bunny ears.

As soon as she finished speaking, a young bodyguard in a black suit wheeled over a large, heavily modified death metal motorcycle.

"Get on," said Tan Qingying, expertly jumping onto the bike.

One had to admit that her figure was truly perfect. A slender waist, long legs, and an exquisite waist-to-hip curve. When it was combined with her already well-developed chest, the young rebellious daughter of the city leader looked like a budding rose in the sunset. The hints of charm exuding from her youthful appearance gave her an astonishingly pure and captivating allure, reminiscent of a first love.

The moment she straddled the bike and smiled back at Li Xiaofei was enough to outshine any motorcycle goddess from his previous life's TrickTock.

Li Xiaofei put on his helmet and jumped onto the bike, placing his hands on the motorcycle's rear rack.

"Hug my waist," Tan Qingying corrected. "It's not safe otherwise."

Li Xiaofei didn't hesitate and wrapped his arms tightly around her slim waist. A faint warmth seeped through the thin leather jacket, and he caught a whiff of a subtle, pleasant fragrance.
