Chapter 209: [209] Will he take advantage of you?_1
 

“Actually, you don’t have to take me, I can just hail a cab back by myself.”

While waiting for the elevator, Tang Feng made small talk.

“It’s not all for your sake. Being with that bunch of old men is really boring. It was the perfect opportunity to slip away.” Mao Anyi flicked her hair by her ear and flashed a charming smile.

“Okay, I guess I was being presumptuous.” Tang Feng said sheepishly.

The helpless look on his face was a stark contrast to the Master of Physiognomy who was all smiles and lively at the dinner table just moments ago.

It made Mao Anyi laugh uncontrollably.

Just then, the elevator doors opened, and the two of them entered, one after the other.

The elevator went down two floors before stopping again.

A mix of men and women poured in.

Tang Feng, fearing someone might take advantage of Mao Anyi in the crowd, took it upon himself to act as her protector and shielded her behind his back.

This thoughtful gesture touched Mao Anyi deeply.

The elevator continued down two more floors and stopped once more.

By now, the elevator car was very crowded, and people outside were still squeezing in, pushing the two of them closer together.

This made both of them feel somewhat embarrassed.

Especially when he felt the warmth from behind him, Tang Feng felt as if he had a kitten scratching at his heart and had to lean forward to avoid further contact with her.

In front of him stood a woman who was average-looking, but had a good figure.

That’s when he suddenly noticed a man with sideburns and reeking of alcohol taking advantage of the chaos to grope the woman.

“Ah, pervert, how dare you touch my butt?”

The woman, like a wild cat whose tail had been stepped on, let out a sharp scream before turning around and lashing out at Tang Feng.

All eyes in the elevator turned toward Tang Feng.

There was curiosity and contempt.

Tang Feng felt a huge blame landing on his head and quickly explained, “Don’t wrong me, okay? I didn’t touch you.”

The woman grabbed his clothes, “There’s only you behind me, if not you, who else could have touched me?”

Tang Feng turned his head to look at the man with sideburns who pretended as if nothing had happened.

The man with sideburns immediately shot him a fierce look, as if warning him.

“He did it, I saw it,” Tang Feng ignored the sideburn man’s threat and pointed at him.

The woman also turned her head to look at the man with sideburns, “Did you touch me?”

“No, I didn’t touch you, I… I don’t like women.” The man with sideburns came up with a quick-witted excuse and grabbed the hand of a man beside him, pretending to be affectionate.

The other man cooperated and immediately nodded in agreement, “We’re gay, why would he touch you?”

Tang Feng couldn’t help but roll his eyes; these two were in sync with their act.

The woman turned to him again, “What do you have to say now?”

Tang Feng had a bitter smile on his face, “Believe it or not, I saw him touch you.”

Hearing him continue to deny it, the woman grew even angrier, “They already said they don’t like women, how could they touch me?”

“Aren’t you a man? You touched me and don’t have the guts to admit it? And you’re smearing others? Disrespectful…born without manners…”

At first, Tang Feng felt speechless, facing it all with a smile.

But when he heard her last sentence, his expression darkened in an instant, “You’re crazy, aren’t you? I’m telling you it wasn’t me, are you deaf or what?”

By now, the elevator had reached the ground floor, and the crowd surged out, but they didn’t leave right away, instead standing outside to watch the drama.

As for the sideburned man, he had already sneakily slipped away in the chaos.

“Okay, so you touched me and won’t admit it, and you dare to curse at me? I’ll show you!”

The woman, as if mad, lunged at Tang Feng.

Tang Feng, although slightly angered, didn’t want to argue with a shrew, and gently pushed her hand away.

But the woman, having had a drink and wearing high heels, tripped and fell to the ground, scraping her knees.

That was like kicking a hornet’s nest.

“Wow, you dare to hit people too? Everyone, come and judge for yourselves. This perverted man not only touched my butt, when he got caught, he even hit me. *Sob sob sob* I can’t live with this…”

The woman began to make a scene, crying and making a fuss.

The crowd, not knowing the full story, started to accuse Tang Feng.

“This man is really perverted, he could do such a vile thing.”

“A lecher is bad enough, but to not apologize and even hit someone? What a jerk.”

“I’m really speechless; to encounter such a weirdo.”

“Such a pervert, hasn’t he seen a woman before…”

Mao Anyi initially felt that as a public figure, she shouldn’t get involved in such a situation.

But the crowd’s comments were getting too harsh for her to bear, so she stepped out from behind Tang Feng.

“My dear, what happened?” She said as she took Tang Feng’s arm in a very natural manner, just like a couple that had been together for a long time.

Those who had just been berating Tang Feng were stunned and their mouths dropped open.

“This woman… She looks a lot like Mao Anyi.”

“Who’s Mao Anyi?”

“Zhonghai TV’s host, she’s really famous, how can you not know her?”

“I usually only watch Mango TV, but she is indeed very beautiful.”

“Is this man her boyfriend? I’ve never heard of Mao Anyi having a boyfriend.”

“Well, she is a public figure after all, and they probably don’t want to go public with this sort of thing…”

The crowd looked on uncertainly at Tang Feng and Mao Anyi, feeling more and more that they were a good match.

And the woman who was making a scene froze, staring at Mao Anyi, feeling a sense of inferiority creeping over her.

This woman was just too attractive.

Tang Feng too was taken aback by Mao Anyi’s actions.

Although he knew she was trying to clear up the situation for him, wasn’t this too big a sacrifice?

If the rumors about the two of them got out, it could affect her image.

But Mao Anyi didn’t think so much about it; she just looked at the woman with a warm smile.

“You say my boyfriend took advantage of you? Don’t you find that funny? He would take advantage of you?”
