Chapter 1234 - 1239: No More Drinking
"Alright, alright... I’m an idiot! If you like calling me that, just go ahead and call me whatever you want!" Lin Feng lay lazily on the sofa and casually asked, "Speaking of which, what’s up with you, Miss Cao, driving out alone in the middle of the night? Don’t you know it’s dangerous for a girl to be out late at night?"
Cao Ying glanced at Lin Feng with some resentment and said, "If you were by my side, it wouldn’t be dangerous!"
Lin Feng was startled and said with a bitter smile, "If you wanted me by your side, you should have given me a call, first wife..."
Cao Ying’s face reddened, and she almost spilled the beer in her hand. She glanced at Lin Feng with even more grievance and playfully said, "Get lost, who’s your first wife, spouting nonsense..."
Lin Feng chuckled proudly, "Miss Cao, don’t forget our bet... As long as I earn ten billion, you’ll be my first wife. My assets are almost over a billion now! It won’t be long before I make you my woman..."
"Pah!" Cao Ying scoffed lightly and then looked at Lin Feng in surprise, "Wait, you’re still studying, how do you have so many assets?"
Lin Feng paused. His sources of assets were quite complex; most of the cash was won through underground fighting and betting. As for fixed assets, the Longfeng Martial Hall was shares gifted to him by Ning Fuxun for free, and the new security company site was semi-coerced and obtained—speaking of which, none of it seemed all that clean.
"Ahem... you don’t need to worry about that!" Lin Feng gave Cao Ying a bitter smile and shook his head.
Cao Ying looked at Lin Feng in surprise, and with a worried face, she said, "Lin Feng, you better not do anything illegal..."
"It’s not really illegal..." Lin Feng shook his head, secretly adding in his heart, it’s at most black-on-black!
After giving Lin Feng a serious look, Cao Ying eventually nodded and said, "Lin Feng, I won’t hide it from you. The reason I came out late at night is because I had a fight with my mom..."
Lin Feng was taken aback and casually asked, "Why did you argue with your mother?"
Cao Ying gazed at Lin Feng and slowly said, "Because she... she wants to introduce me to boyfriends!"
Lin Feng was stunned and looked at Cao Ying with some anxiety. He initially wanted to ask about her attitude, but thinking about it, Cao Ying had already come out to find him, so her attitude was pretty clear!
After thinking for a few seconds, Lin Feng said to Cao Ying, "I think your mother just wants the best for you..."
Cao Ying gave a bitter smile, emptied her beer, picked up another glass, and said with a smile, "For my good, really?"
Lin Feng nodded with a serious tone, "Typically, parents hope their children will have a good life. That should be undeniable..."
Cao Ying laughed, "I didn’t expect you, Lin Feng, to actually understand the ethics..."
"Of course..." Lin Feng nodded earnestly.
"Then, what’s your opinion?" Cao Ying asked with a slightly mischievous curve at the corner of her mouth, "Would you be okay with me seeing other men?"
Lin Feng shook his head, "Of course not, you’re my first wife, how could I let you go to other men..."
"Then why are you saying my mom is doing it for my good..." Cao Ying rolled her eyes.
"I believe your mother wants what’s best for you... but I don’t think she is considering me! I doubt she would choose me with her vision—I’m just your average handsome guy," Lin Feng said with a thick-skinned smile.
"Seems like you have some self-awareness!" Cao Ying rolled her eyes at Lin Feng again, smiled, but felt a bit suppressed inside because Lin Feng’s biggest issue wasn’t his looks or background. The main thing was, he already has a girlfriend!
This point is quite critical for Cao Ying’s parents...
Cao Ying’s mother cherishes her daughter and naturally wouldn’t allow her to ambiguously follow Lin Feng.
However, Cao Ying’s mother, Wang Yueqin, knew that the relationship between Lin Feng and Cao Ying wasn’t simple. Cao Ying probably has lingering feelings for Lin Feng, so she didn’t forcefully stop Cao Ying from contacting Lin Feng but instead tried more subtle methods to change Cao Ying’s mind... Hence, Wang Yueqin started arranging blind dates for Cao Ying.
Although these weren’t outright blind dates, after Cao Ying met many excellent heirs of wealthy businessmen or so-called outstanding scions of bureaucracy behind Wang Yueqin, she naturally guessed Wang Yueqin’s intentions.
After holding back for several days, Cao Ying couldn’t bear it anymore and confronted Wang Yueqin, leading to a big argument, after which Cao Ying drove out in anger without even taking her phone...
"What do you plan to do next?" Lin Feng guessed Cao Ying’s thoughts and looked at her with some pity.
"What can I do? This question should be asked to you!" Cao Ying glanced at Lin Feng, her pretty face slightly lifted with a smile, "Now, I just want to drink..."
Lin Feng was stunned, inwardly agreeing with Cao Ying’s statement. This situation should indeed be resolved by a man!
As a man, he can’t let a woman who likes him bear such pressure alone.
Either let go or confront head-on; Lin Feng really has no other choice!
But... how to confront head on? Lin Feng remembered having a heart-to-heart with Cao Tiannan, when Cao Tiannan had him choose between Cao Ying and Tang Rou... Now, Cao Tiannan’s attitude probably hasn’t changed, only now Lin Feng faces more options!
Oh dear... Lin Feng smiled wryly, is he really just supposed to choose the predetermined path, escape China with these beauties, and buy an island in the Pacific to become the island owner?!
While this option isn’t bad, Lin Feng feels it might be too selfish!
Not every woman likes a paradise kind of life. Lin Feng might endure solitude, but these young ladies accustomed to luxury—whether Su Zi, Tang Rou, or Cao Ying—they are used to lavish lives, how could they adapt to life on a barren island?
If Lin Feng insists and forces them to adapt to island life, maybe they would persist just to be with Lin Feng, but what’s the point of such persistence? Lin Feng’s goal isn’t to make these women suffer alongside him.
Besides, Lin Feng currently has no plans to leave China, these thoughts are too distant...
For now, it’s better to think about how to solve Cao Ying’s problem! Lin Feng looked at Cao Ying, who was downing her third glass of beer, furrowed his brows slightly, reached out to gently hold her delicate hand, and softly said, "You shouldn’t drink anymore!"
Cao Ying was obedient and didn’t struggle like some drinkers, letting go of the glass when she heard Lin Feng’s words. With a slightly intoxicated look, she smiled at Lin Feng and suddenly, with a gentle opening of her teeth, said something that stunned Lin Feng.
"Lin Feng... do you really like me?"
