The Eternal Phoenix Queen

Eps. 40: Trusted

For a few days after the accident, Shen Yi slightly reduced her interaction with Feng Shang. The man only spoke once in a while, it was also so short. All the work related to Linjing he handed over to Zhang Bi and Jiang Li, telling them to work on it.

Instead of not wanting to meet, Shen Yi just wanted to calm down for a moment. All the words of Feng Shang who declared himself to be the Celestial Empress accompanied by the shadows of other realms left him perplexed. Does he have to believe it or think of it as a joke?

To him, the woman's words made no sense. Where there is a world like the one in his dream! It must be just a hallucination of being too tired!

Today, he purposely slowed down his commute from the office. Shen Yi wanted when he came home, Feng Shang had already slept so that he would not have to greet him. Seeing the woman just reminded him of strange events that he experienced.

Earlier this morning, he was contacted by the party who fixed his car. They say the damage is so severe and takes a long time, considering the car components are not available domestically. It costs too.

Besides, they said Shen Yi was very lucky. Most victims who have an accident with such severe car conditions do not survive, or fall into a coma. Shen Yi was not injured, not even a bruise was present. His skin was also not affected by asphalt scratches and broken glass.

"Do I really have to consult a psychiatrist?"

Shen Yi drove his car at standard speed. Fortunately, the road was quiet enough that he could be free. Even if his car is damaged, he still has many other luxury cars stored in the basement of his house. Most of them are electric cars.

He plans to see a psychiatrist. Shen Yi had already made an appointment today. He wanted to ask the problems he was facing, whether they were real or just illusions. Also, is there anything wrong with his mentality or not.

On the way, Shen Yi got a phone call from Feng Zheng asking her to meet right then and there. Automatically, he turned the direction and headed towards the place that Feng Zheng mentioned. I don't know if there is any need for the grandfather to ask her to speak suddenly.

Feng Zheng had been waiting for him at a luxurious restaurant since fifteen minutes ago. After Shen Yi came, he immediately invited her to sit opposite him.

"Chairman Feng, is there something you want to talk to me about?" ask Shen Yi.

"I want to ask you to take care of Shang'er. These few days, Xiang Sun continued to try to approach him. I'm afraid that guy's gonna hurt her. President Shen, only you can control my grandson," Feng Zheng replied in his core.

"Chairman Feng wants me to protect him? Why?"

"Because you're the only one he trusts. I don't care what rumors are going around about your relationship. I'm just asking you to look after him. I hope you fulfill my request."

Feng Zheng wanted Shen Yi to take care of her favorite grandson from Xiang Sun. For quite some time, he continued to pay attention and monitor the treatment and efforts of Xiang Sun who wanted to approach him. Although Feng Shang had always refused and ignored him, he was afraid that it would have a bad effect on Feng Shangs reputation and future if Xiang Sun continued to do shameful things.

The only person he could rely on was Shen Yi. The man had always been by Feng Shang's side, being the only person he trusted. Shen Yi might not have noticed it, yet as a grandfather, Feng Zheng knew very well

"Why should I?"

"Because you're the one who's capable of protecting her."

Shen Yi could not believe it. Feng Zheng had many men. He could command them to protect Feng Shang from afar, who was more deft and more powerful than men like him.

He saw Feng Zheng had another intent.

Feng Zheng could not dodge. Shen Yi was too intelligent for him to face alone. Perhaps, it was time for him to tell the secret of the Feng Family that was hidden within Feng Shang's body.

"Because Shang'er is special," Feng Zheng said softly.

"Special?"

"He inherited the Feng Family's holy blood. You may never know, but the Feng Clan has special abilities since the first generation. Shang'er is my grandson who is destined to inherit the sacred blood of the Feng Clan."

"Why have I never heard of it? Then, what's the point of inheriting something like that?"

Feng Zheng threw his gaze in a very far direction. His memories stretched out to the historical writings that had been written on the secret books of the Feng Clan, which had been lost several years ago. About the history and prowess of the Feng Clan in the past, also about the privileges of the Feng surnamed family members.

Every generation of the Feng Family had to believe. And now, Feng Zheng watched it happen to his own grandson. He knew since the ship accident, his old grandson would never return. He would become the new Feng Shang, which was different from before.

"The heir of the holy blood of the Feng Clan, has an infinite destiny. He can determine the destiny he wills unconsciously. This heir also brought glory and glory to the Feng Clan. But, to me, he is my grandson. It won't change. So, you have to protect her well."

"Why did Chairman Feng tell me? Aren't you afraid I'm hurting your granddaughter?"

"will not. I feel the bond of fate between you and Shang'er."

Destiny bond?

Shen Yi simply stared blankly outwards. Destinies. Right, destiny. The fate that had brought him to Feng Shang on Yonghe Island. It was fate that made him take the decision to let her stay by his side the entire time. The fate that made him live out those strange days made no sense.

Shen Yi had never known about the secret books of the Feng Clan. He thought that all the Feng Family in Cheng City had been mere mortals, the ranks of wealthy businessmen who had many subsidiaries. He never expected that the ancestors of the Feng Clan were a magical tribe that still believed in divination.

"Is this why you love your granddaughter so much?"

"Not so either. Later, you'll understand."

He still can't believe everything. His head became more dizzy every time he thought of all that. Shen Yi sipped her coffee slowly, thinking about what decision she would take.

"good. I'll try my best" Shen Yi broke up. After all, he already had no way back. I think he was really attached to that woman.

Feng Zheng finally breathed a sigh of relief. He believed fully in Shen Yi, confident that the man could do well. That way, he only needs to clean up a few small things in his family, including cleaning up the issue of jealousy that occurs between his children and grandchildren.

Feng Zheng stared at Shen Yi's departure from the restaurant with a small smile. She muttered, "Shen Yi, you're special too."
