The meal ended quickly enough.
After eating, Shen Nan invited Lin Feng to his home. His father also missed Lin Feng, and Shen Xinyue had returned.
"You two siblings go back first. I still have some matters to attend to. Once I'm done, I'll come over to your place."
Lin Feng knew that Zhao Nan was in a very bad mood and intended to comfort her.
"Alright, then come find me quickly. I'll be waiting for you at home."
Shen Xinyue knew that Lin Feng didn't care much for her. She was sensible and didn't force him.
So, after everyone parted ways, Lin Feng intended to talk to Zhao Nan, but Zhao Nan completely ignored him.
"Xuerou, my mom called me home for something. I won't be accompanying you anymore. I've booked a flight for tomorrow, and I'll be returning to Qingcheng for work."
Zhao Nan said indifferently and turned to leave.
She didn't want to see Lin Feng for even a moment. She was in a bad mood and didn't want Lin Feng to see her embarrassment.
"Why is she leaving so suddenly? I was planning to comfort her."
Lin Feng was helpless. He knew Zhao Nan was too ashamed to face him.
"Lin Feng, why don't you comfort me? I'm also feeling very uncomfortable right now."
Chen Xuerou looked at Lin Feng aggrievedly.
"What's making you uncomfortable? Because of Shen Xinyue?"
Lin Feng asked with a playful smile.
"Yes, Shen Xinyue is my cousin. Although she's a distant relative, you're engaged to her, so why are you still bothering me?"
"We had that kind of relationship. I feel like I'm the third party, and I'm interfering with my own cousin! I'm a shameless mistress!"
Chen Xuerou sat on the chair, and after speaking her mind, she felt even more ashamed.
"Teacher Chen, it's not my fault. You seduced me, I didn't force you."
Lin Feng chuckled, deliberately teasing Chen Xuerou.
"Yes, I seduced you, but I didn't know you already had a fiancée, did I?"
"I'm not blaming you, I just feel my actions are very shameful."
"If Xinyue cousin finds out, how will I face them in the future?"
Chen Xuerou thought a lot. She had even considered cutting off contact with Lin Feng.
But she ultimately couldn't get past this hurdle. She wasn't saying this to blame anyone, but simply to find someone to confide in.
"Alright, I won't tease you anymore."
"Actually, it's okay even if Shen Xinyue finds out. She doesn't care."
Lin Feng saw that Chen Xuerou was genuinely remorseful and smiled as he rubbed her fragrant shoulders.
"Doesn't care? How is that possible?"
Chen Xuerou blinked her beautiful, watery eyes. Her already stunning face was tinged with a hint of grievance, making her look incredibly alluring.
Lin Feng thought for a moment: "Because my engagement with Shen Xinyue was loveless. I had to agree due to certain conditions from the Shen family."
"Moreover, Shen Xinyue is not the only woman I have. I have many. Shen Xinyue knows this, and she really doesn't care."
Lin Feng spoke the truth.
"You have many women? Are you talking about Sister Rose that we met before?"
Chen Xuerou could only think of that woman now, as she hadn't seen Lin Feng with any other women.
"I slept with her too. She's my little fan girl, you know that."
"Let me count how many I have now: Liu Mengyao, Luo Keke, Xia Xue, Su Qingya, Lu Jingzhe, Shen Xinyue, Ling Feiyan. Hua Yu should probably be counted too."
Lin Feng counted on his fingers and named several girls.
Chen Xuerou listened to these familiar yet strange names, unsure of what to say for a moment.
She had always thought Lin Feng didn't have a girlfriend. Now she realized she had imagined Lin Feng to be too simple!
"Good heavens, you have so many girlfriends, can your body handle it?"
"Also, are they willing to share one man?"
Chen Xuerou had a stomach full of questions. She found this situation rather peculiar and hard to understand.
This wasn't some foreign country or ancient times; the era of men having multiple wives and concubines was long gone.
And Lin Feng, he had so many at once. What was he thinking?
"My body can definitely handle it. You've seen my strength, haven't you?"
"As for why they are willing to share me, it's because they love me. Love isn't about possession, but about companionship."
Lin Feng spoke profound words very seriously, though he himself felt a bit shameless saying them.
Chen Xuerou nodded reluctantly.
Lin Feng's body was indeed very powerful, so serving a few women shouldn't be a problem.
However, Chen Xuerou still found it hard to accept sharing Lin Feng with other women.
"I can't do this. I need to calm down. The amount of information is too overwhelming. I need to digest it."
Chen Xuerou stood up, her body trembling from the intense stimulation, unable to stand steadily.
"Haha, why don't you calm down with me? I'll take you out for some fresh air. I can understand how you feel right now."
Lin Feng suddenly found Chen Xuerou increasingly endearing.
Even though Chen Xuerou had seduced him, he had feelings for her.
He also understood what Chen Xuerou was thinking because other girls had reacted similarly.
"Then where are you taking me to relax?"
Chen Xuerou asked curiously.
"Wherever you want to go. With me by your side, you can roam anywhere under the sun."
Lin Feng said something very domineering.
Chen Xuerou was stunned for a moment, then chuckled: "Okay, then take me to buy a birthday present for my dad. My dad's birthday is coming up."
"Sure, what does your dad like?"
Lin Feng asked.
"My dad likes calligraphy and paintings, and he likes collecting famous artworks. But those paintings are too expensive for me to afford."
"Buy me a cheaper one, something economical and practical."
Chen Xuerou knew that those antique paintings were priceless. She didn't want to spend Lin Feng's money, so she didn't want to buy the genuine ones, a replica would suffice.
"Oh, I know a place in the provincial capital called Bai Baoyuan. They specialize in selling antiques. My dad often goes there to find bargains, but he only brings back worthless things."
Chen Xuerou smiled. Her dad was usually quite amusing and did things that were both laughable and absurd.
"Finding bargains is my specialty. Let's go there now."
Lin Feng said, and then took Chen Xuerou to Bai Baoyuan.
Upon arriving at Bai Baoyuan, they saw a market covering more than ten football fields, filled with stalls selling antiques and cultural relics. There were vases and paintings from various dynasties, as well as bronze artifacts from even earlier periods.
"Young man, take a look at these paintings! I just acquired these, and they are of excellent quality."
A stall owner selling paintings, seeing new customers, immediately called out.
Lin Feng glanced at the painting stalls and immediately saw through their tricks.
Unfortunately, none of these paintings were real; they were all imitations.
Thus, Lin Feng led Chen Xuerou through several streets of Bai Baoyuan.
Each street had more than a dozen shops, all named with suffixes like "Xuan" or "Ge."
The antiques sold in these shops were all valuable.
The shop owners were also experts in antiques. After layers of selection, they would only display the items they deemed worthy for sale.
This way, all the good items were collected by the shops, and naturally, what was sold below became defective products.
When Lin Feng and Chen Xuerou arrived at the entrance of a shop called Jubao Ge, they stopped.
They saw a young man, his face bruised and swollen, lying on the ground and crying hysterically.
"Lili, how could you do this to me?"
"I worked for your family as a laborer for three years, and I took the blame for your father and went to prison. You promised to marry me after I got out. Now you've gone back on your word. Are you being fair to me?"
The young man cried his heart out, beating his chest and stamping his feet.
"Wang Bing, stop being pathetic. You voluntarily worked for my family. I never begged you!"
"Taking the blame for my father and going to prison was also your own wish. I never said I would marry a convict!"
The woman, dressed impeccably, crossed her arms with an air of superiority.
Several servants from the shop stood beside her, holding clubs and watching menacingly.
"Wang Bing, get lost as far as possible. You and I are not from the same world. You're always trying to be a toad lusting after a swan. I feel disgusted when I see you!"
Xiao Lili sneered disdainfully, not a trace of guilt in her eyes.
