Chapter Fourteen: The Ice-Cold Queen
Page 1/3
Zhang Jing was momentarily stunned upon hearing this, then assumed that Lin Chen’s girlfriend had arrived.
That guy actually has a girlfriend now? But considering who he is, she must be just as unattractive—short, dark-skinned, overweight, lacking any charm. Simply put, just like him, unwanted and stuck at the bottom of society.
She turned around, ready to mock, but when she saw the woman’s face clearly, it was as if her throat was blocked—no words could come out.
The arrogant man beside her was equally dumbfounded.
Not just them, but everyone in the store, including Lin Chen, was utterly captivated.
Leng Hanyan, dressed in clothes chosen by Lin Chen, stood about 175 cm tall. Wearing high heels, she was even taller than Lin Chen. Among the crowd of women, she was a striking presence, standing out like a crane among chickens.
Clad entirely in black leather—skirt, jacket, hat—with dazzling golden hair and starry black eyes, she exuded an ethereal, icy aura, like a cold and stunning queen, evoking a desire to kneel before her.
Lin Chen finally understood why some men were drawn to this type of allure. But a queen of Leng Hanyan’s caliber was a rare sight in one’s lifetime; the men in the store looked like pigs beside her, which said it all.
Leng Hanyan walked up to Lin Chen, spinning once with her golden hair flowing. She smiled faintly: “Darling, do I look good?”
Though Lin Chen’s heart and mind were transformed by his recent inheritance, his heartbeat still quickened.
This woman was simply mesmerizing, especially when the coldness on her face softened into a seductive smile—like ice melting and flowers blooming.
Lin Chen nodded honestly: “You look great. Absolutely stunning!”
Leng Hanyan smiled with satisfaction, her eyes narrowing slightly like a proud fox.
She linked her arm with Lin Chen’s and looked at Zhang Jing, saying with a smile, “Did you just say my darling could only settle for an ugly creature in his life? But I think you’re the real ugly one—bad figure, small eyes, ugly all around.”
Then she turned to Zhang Jing’s man: “Don’t you agree?”
Zhang Jing’s man, still dumbfounded, came to his senses and instinctively said, “Yes, yes, you’re too beautiful, absolutely beautiful. Compared to you, she really is an ugly creature!”
“Bastard!”

Zhang Jing was furious but couldn’t argue back.
Beauty is always relative; compared to ordinary people, she was indeed attractive, but beside Leng Hanyan, calling her ugly wasn’t wrong.
Standing before Leng Hanyan, who was nearly a head taller, Zhang Jing felt her breath falter.
Leng Hanyan looked at Zhang Jing with clear disdain, then turned coquettishly to Lin Chen: “Darling, I’m upset! How could you have liked such an ugly girl before? Now that I’m your girlfriend, it really lowers my standards!”
Zhang Jing gritted her teeth in anger. Her man had just said that talking to Lin Chen lowered their status. Now Leng Hanyan’s words were a direct counterattack, like a slap across their faces.
When a woman faces another far more beautiful and obviously wealthier woman, jealousy and insecurity easily arise.
At this moment, Zhang Jing felt deeply inadequate. How could someone grow up to be like that? A perfect model’s proportions were one thing, but such a beautiful face—that was enough to enrage anyone.
She just wanted to leave quickly, unwilling to stay another moment in this woman’s presence.
Her man finally recovered and looked at Leng Hanyan greedily, smiling: “Hello, beautiful lady. I’m Li Qifeng. Here’s my card. Pleasure to meet you.”
He pulled out a gold-plated business card and handed it to Leng Hanyan. Lin Chen glanced at it; he didn’t recognize the company, but the title “General Manager” was clear. This man was clearly a successful businessman.
Li Qifeng presented his card confidently.
He relied on this card to charm women effortlessly. Once she accepted the card, he would call to set up a date, take her for a ride in his luxury car, dine at Michelin-starred restaurants, shower her with luxury gifts—there was no woman he couldn’t win over.
Looking at Leng Hanyan’s face and figure, his heart burned with desire, unable to hide it.
But Leng Hanyan didn’t even glance at the card; instead, she looked at Lin Chen curiously and said, “Darling, I think I heard a dog barking. Did you hear it?”
Lin Chen smiled: “With the dog barking that loudly, of course I heard it.”
Li Qifeng’s face turned red in anger, shocked that she would openly insult him as a dog!
To him, Lin Chen was just a poor nobody, someone he barely bothered to notice. How dare he insult him so blatantly!

“Ha! This idiot really thinks having some money means everyone has to worship him?”
“Exactly, thinks he’s some kind of prince or big shot! But the beauty just ignores him!”
Others in the store also disliked Li Qifeng’s arrogant attitude and began mocking him as he was humiliated.
This only fueled Li Qifeng’s anger. As a general manager, who at his company dared speak to him so loudly? Never had he been so embarrassed by some nobody!
He stopped holding back, his face twisted with rage: “Kid, don’t refuse the wine only to drink the penalty! Do you think you can offend me? You’re so clueless! I won’t waste words. You’d better apologize now and have your girlfriend come out with me, or I’ll have my friends in the underworld teach you a lesson!”
Lin Chen showed no fear; instead, he laughed: “If you want your friends to come teach me a lesson, why not have them come now? Otherwise, I’ll have to teach you a lesson myself!”
Li Qifeng was furious. This kid was downright reckless!
“Do you really want to die? You’re probably already scared out of your wits but pretending not to be!”
Lin Chen smiled strangely: “You take yourself way too seriously. I think the one scared out of their mind is you. If I just touch you lightly, you’d soil yourself. Believe it or not?”
As if hearing the funniest joke ever, Li Qifeng burst into laughter, mocking: “Hahaha, you really think you’re something? No skills, just big talk. Could it be you tricked this beauty here into being yours?”
The people nearby were speechless. This was nonsense, utterly ridiculous.
That kid’s words were brainless, cutting off his own escape route. If the woman deliberately let him touch her and nothing happened, he’d be utterly humiliated. Didn’t he fear losing face in front of such a beauty and having her leave him?
Lin Chen ignored their dumbfounded looks. With a slight flick of his right middle finger against Li Qifeng’s abdomen, Li Qifeng suddenly shivered as if a strange energy had entered his body.
