Chapter 187: Chapter 187 Tonight I’m Going to Your Place
After Zhang Lan left, Ling Feng lay in bed for a while and drifted back to sleep.
He didn’t know how much ti had passed before soone knocked on the door, prompting him to get up, get dressed, and walk out.
The visitor was Li Yui. Seeing her, Ling Feng smiled and asked, "Why so early?"
"Early? It’s already ten o’clock!" Li Yui exclaid in surprise.
"Ah?"
Ling Feng was startled and only then realized he had slept that long!
"I accidentally overslept. Did you need sothing from , Yu i?" he asked with an awkward smile.
Li Yui nodded, "The female CEO from the mine ca to find , she gave
a sum of money..."
"Oh, then keep it, you and Qian Qian deserve it!" Ling Feng said with a smile.
"But it’s too much, I didn’t want to accept it at first, but she insisted on giving it to . I still feel uneasy about it!" Li Yui said.
"How much was it?" Ling Feng asked.
"A hundred thousand!"
"That is a lot, but don’t worry, that amount of money isn’t much for them. Keep it!" Ling Feng hadn’t expected Zhang Lan to give such substantial compensation.
Reassured by his words, Li Yui nodded slightly, "Alright then, thank you."
"Thank
for what? No need!" Ling Feng replied with a laugh.
Li Yui looked at him with serious eyes, "I know it’s all because of you. Otherwise, General Manager Zhang wouldn’t have given
so much money!"
Now Ling Feng felt embarrassed. Scratching his head, he thought to himself, she hasn’t found out anything, has she?
Indeed, Li Yui hesitated for a mont before she couldn’t help but ask, "Brother, last night I saw General Manager Zhang enter your room... you two?"
Ling Feng was startled by her words, "How did you see that?"
"I’ve been getting ho very late recently because I need to prepare the als for the next day in advance." Li Yui said, hanging her head like a child who had done sothing wrong.
"Oh, it’s fine that you saw, just don’t go around talking about it," Ling Feng said with a wry smile.
"I won’t tell anyone else."
Seeing her hanging her head without the intent to leave, Ling Feng couldn’t help but ask, "Is there sothing else?"
Li Yui seed hesitant, and after keeping her head low for a while, she finally looked up with reddened eyes, "Brother, if you are with her, do you not want
anymore?"
Ling Feng was taken aback!
Before, the two of them had shared a bed at her place, and they were on the verge of doing sothing indescribable, but he had stopped himself upon rembering Huzi.
However, there had already been a promise made between them that they would discuss things after Huzi’s anniversary.
Now her sudden question, it seed she was feeling worried about her future after realizing sothing had transpired between Zhang Lan and himself.
Ling Feng felt sowhat helpless, thinking to himself that she only saw Zhang Lan staying at his place, and if she knew Li Shiyun and Chen Yuhe were both involved with him, what would she think?
He smiled, patting Li Yui on the head, "Silly, how could I not want you? Haven’t I said that you will always be mine in the future?"
Li Yui felt a warmth in her heart and, blushing, lowered her head, "Then, co to my house tonight!"
"Ah?"
Ling Feng was again startled, then replied with a bitter smile, "Didn’t we agree to wait until after Huzi’s anniversary? Plus, Qian Qian is at your place; how can I go there?"
"I..."
Unable to refute Ling Feng’s words, Li Yui hung her head, feeling extrely embarrassed.
Seeing her like this, Ling Feng quickly reached out to embrace her, "Don’t think too much, as long as our lives are good, that’s better than anything."
Li Yui, with her head buried in his chest, had a lot she wanted to say, yet she couldn’t voice it. She could only let out a muffled agreent.
As they were hugging, the door behind them was pushed open, and Xun Qianqian walked in, holding Ya Ya!
Seeing the two of them in an embrace, she imdiately froze!
Li Yui quickly broke free from Ling Feng’s embrace, "I still have to cook; I’ll talk to you later!"
Having said that, she rushed toward the back, but Xun Qianqian asked, "Sis, why are you crying? Did he bully you?"
"No, I ca to thank him. Let’s go back," Li Yui said.
"You go back first, I have sothing to say to Ling Feng!"
Xun Qianqian handed Ya Ya into her arms as she spoke.
"What, what do you want to say?" Li Yui asked.
"You don’t need to worry about it, go cook!" Xun Qianqian said, pushing her out the door as she spoke.
Once the door closed, only Ling Feng and she remained in the room.
"What do you want to say to ?" Ling Feng asked the sa question.
Xun Qianqian walked up to him, looking him straight in the eyes, "What exactly are you planning to do with my sister?"
Ling Feng laughed, "What do you think?"
"She likes you, but you keep being nice to her without accepting her. What does that an?" Xun Qianqian asked coldly.
"Being nice to her because she is my childhood friend’s wife, as for what you an by accepting, I don’t understand!" Ling Feng said indifferently.
"My brother-in-law is dead, and she, a widow and mother, needs soone to care for her. If you like her, you should take real action!" Xun Qianqian said loudly.
Ling Feng glanced at her, "Na??ve!"
"You’re the na??ve one, caring about the opinion of society, worrying about what the dead would think, you’re sick!" Xun Qianqian retorted.
Her words startled Ling Feng, and after thinking about it, he didn’t know how to respond.
"My sister is a person, she needs warmth, not sothing money can fix!"
"Can’t you stop pretending to be a Saint?"
Ling Feng was left speechless and stunned by her words.
After finishing her piece, Xun Qianqian said while staring into his eyes, "Also, thank you for helping us yesterday, and for the compensation we received today!"
After saying that, she turned and left, leaving Ling Feng dumbstruck like a wooden chicken.
"...."
It took a while for Ling Feng to recover, and as he looked at the closed door, he couldn’t help but say to himself, "It seems like I was the one in the wrong..."
...
...
Although it wasn’t a significant issue, Ling Feng was distracted all day long.
Even while helping Li Shiyun gather information on the villagers, he appeared preoccupied.
"What’s with you today? Are you troubled by sothing?" Li Shiyun asked curiously.
"No, just thinking about how to beco stronger," Ling Feng answered.
Li Shiyun glanced at him, sensing that it was not a heartfelt answer but rely an excuse.
However, she didn’t press further.
In the evening, Ling Feng finally made a decision and sent a ssage to Li Yui’s phone, "Wait for
tonight, I’ll co over to your place."
He had realized that Xun Qianqian was right; he had always been missing the point. The dead are gone, and the living must continue with life.
Li Yui was a woman; she needed warmth and a sense of security.
He sent out the ssage, but she did not reply. Ling Feng didn’t mind too much.
Late at night, he left ho and quietly arrived at Li Yui’s doorstep.
He gently pushed the door, which, indeed, was not locked.
Ling Feng entered stealthily, groping his way in the dark toward the inner room.
The curtains blocked the moonlight, making nearly everything in the room invisible.
But Ling Feng could still faintly make out a person lying on the bed, so he moved closer!
