One thought led to another, and Liu Mengyao bid farewell to Butler Fu before hurrying back to the villa.
Lin Feng had already returned before Liu Mengyao. He had prepared a table full of delicious food for her.
Knowing Liu Mengyao’s preference for wagyu beef and mousse cake, Lin Feng specially asked Xue Tong to prepare two portions and send them to the villa.
“Miss, since you’re back, please eat while it’s hot!”
Lin Feng placed the last dish on the table, intending to properly apologize to Liu Mengyao.
“Little Linzi, given your good performance, this young lady will not pursue the matter of you abandoning me at the restaurant.”
Liu Mengyao smiled faintly. She had spent a day playing with the children at the orphanage and was indeed a bit hungry.
“Thank you, Miss, for your magnanimity. Please eat quickly, these are all my specialties!”
Lin Feng smiled apologetically and served Liu Mengyao several bites of food.
Liu Mengyao took a tentative bite and her eyes lit up, “Not bad, Little Linzi, your cooking is excellent, very delicious!”
“Of course, I’ve been a cook since I was a child. When we had no food when I was young, we cooked for ourselves!”
Seeing how much Liu Mengyao enjoyed his cooking, Lin Feng smiled with a sense of accomplishment.
Liu Mengyao quietly gazed at Lin Feng’s smiling face, pondered for a moment, and then mustered the courage to ask, “Lin Feng, tell me honestly, are you Lin Xiaoqi?”
“How could that be? Lin Xiaoqi has nothing to do with me!”
Lin Feng thought Liu Mengyao was asking about the divine tycoon Lin Xiaoqi and immediately denied it.
“Alright, it was just my imagination. How could you possibly be him?”
Liu Mengyao gave a self-deprecating laugh, her smile tinged with an indescribable sense of loss.
Lin Feng wasn’t Xiaoqi Gege, they just looked too alike, something she should have realized long ago.
“I’m not eating anymore, I’ve lost my appetite. Please eat slowly, and thank you for the meal you made for me!”
Liu Mengyao stood up, dejected. Having received Lin Feng’s direct confirmation, she had no mood to eat.
She didn’t know how she would explain things to Lin Feng once she found Xiaoqi Gege.
She could only go back to her room to calm down and think.
“Is my cooking not good? Why is she suddenly unhappy?”
Lin Feng ate a bite of the dish he made, puzzled. It tasted fine!
However, Lin Feng was already accustomed to Liu Mengyao’s fickle nature and decided not to dwell on it.
After dinner, Lin Feng returned to his room and entered a state of cultivation.
After breaking through to the second level of the Heaven and Earth Creation Art, he had developed the ability to create talismans.
The next step was to quickly study the stone tablet fragments and collect more of them. Perhaps this item was the key to breaking through to the third level of Qi Condensation.
After cultivating all night, Lin Feng went downstairs the next day to find Liu Mengyao was not in the villa.
There was a note on the table, written by Liu Mengyao.
“Lin Feng, I lied to you before. I’m not pregnant. I’m going to handle my own affairs now. I’ll explain everything to you when I’m done.”
“Go pursue the girl you like. Your female classmate is very nice. I wish you both happiness!”
Signed, Liu Mengyao.
“What’s the meaning of this? Why did she just leave like that?”
Lin Feng was bewildered. How could he not know that Liu Mengyao was faking her pregnancy?
He didn’t care about it at all.
The reason he had been cooperating with Liu Mengyao was simply because he felt she was a good person and had helped him.
Now that Liu Mengyao had left so abruptly, he felt an inexplicable emptiness in his heart.
“Never mind. We had no feelings for each other. I wish you all the best and a successful resolution to your matters.”
Lin Feng smiled wryly. He knew this day would come eventually, but he didn’t expect it to be so sudden.
No wonder Liu Mengyao’s mood had suddenly become so dejected last night; she had already decided to bid him farewell.
Having figured things out, Lin Feng changed into clean clothes, adjusted his mood, and drove to the new company.
Even though Liu Mengyao had left, life had to go on.
When Lin Feng drove to the company building, Feng Jingwen had already arranged for workers to hang the giant sign of “Jufeng Investment” on the building.
With Hong Liju’s help, the company’s internal facilities were also gradually being installed.
“Brother-in-law, the company you opened for my sister is so magnificent! You said you and my sister aren’t boyfriend and girlfriend, but you’re clearly trying to win her over with money!”
As soon as Feng Duo Duo saw Lin Feng enter, she immediately stepped forward to tease him.
Today, she had come with Feng Jingwen to help out at the new company, but the only one actually working was Feng Jingwen herself.
At this moment, Feng Jingwen was wiping dust off the desks and chairs with a rag, like a housewife, making the company spotlessly clean.
“Stop with the sarcastic remarks and go help your sister. Otherwise, I’ll reveal your little secret to her!”
Lin Feng said sternly, playfully scaring her.
“Oh, I know I should be working! I was just talking to you because you’re here. Really!”
Feng Duo Duo pouted unhappily. Under Lin Feng’s threat, she could only grab a rag and start wiping tables and chairs as well.
“Jingwen, please take a break. Just hire some cleaning ladies for these tasks. Don’t overwork yourself!”
Lin Feng said, looking at Feng Jingwen, who was dripping with sweat and whose white short-sleeved shirt was soaked.
“I’m not tired. I can finish this work myself; there’s no need to hire cleaners.”
Feng Jingwen stood up straight. Although she claimed not to be tired, her limbs were clearly aching.
“Alright, sit down and rest. Let me give you a shoulder massage.”
Lin Feng forced Feng Jingwen to sit down and affectionately massaged her shoulders.
“Really, you don’t have to. I’m fine.”
Feng Jingwen felt a bit uncomfortable. As she felt Lin Feng’s large hands massaging her shoulders, she couldn’t help but frown.
“What’s wrong? Is it uncomfortable?”
Lin Feng asked with concern.
“No!”
Feng Jingwen wrinkled her little nose.
Lin Feng hummed and continued to massage Feng Jingwen’s shoulders. His hands could clearly feel the bra straps on Feng Jingwen’s shoulders.
“Mmm!”
Feng Jingwen couldn’t help but hum.
“Jingwen, are you really alright?”
Lin Feng sensed Feng Jingwen’s unusual reaction.
Feng Jingwen could barely stand it and turned her head to say pitifully, “It hurts a little when you massage me!”
“You should have said so earlier. I’ll be gentler then.”
Lin Feng was amused by Feng Jingwen’s cute expression and immediately softened his touch.
Liu Mengyao was gone, and now he wasn’t afraid of Liu Mengyao targeting Feng Jingwen anymore. He could openly develop feelings with Feng Jingwen.
“Brother-in-law, can you give me a massage too? I’m very tired too!”
Feng Duo Duo, watching the two openly show affection, unhappily threw the rag on the table.
“You’ve only done a little work! Young people shouldn’t always complain about being tired. Exercising your body is always good.”
Lin Feng advised her seriously.
“Hmph, just say you’re biased! I’m not doing it anymore!”
Feng Duo Duo went on strike and sat down on the ground, sulking.
“Alright, Duo Duo, I’ll massage you.”
Feng Jingwen felt sorry for her cousin and stepped forward to comfort Feng Duo Duo’s emotions.
Lin Feng watched the two sisters’ deep affection and didn’t say much. He picked up his phone and sent a message to Tang Pinliang, asking him to bring people over to help Feng Jingwen clean the company.
Meanwhile, at Sunshine Orphanage.
Liu Mengyao and Butler Fu found Dean Hu again.
“Dean, hasn’t Xiaoqi Gege come today?”
Liu Mengyao asked anxiously. Her family had been urging her to return home, and time was running out for her.
“Miss Liu, Xiaoqi might be very busy during this period. Why don’t you wait a little longer?”
Dean Hu was not clear about why Liu Mengyao was so eager to see Lin Feng. But upon reflection, if a young girl was so actively seeking to see Lin Feng, perhaps over time, the two might actually become boyfriend and girlfriend!
Therefore, to play matchmaker for Lin Feng, Dean Hu took out his most prized possession: “Miss Liu, although Xiaoqi himself cannot come, I have photos of him when he was a child. How about you look at them first?”
“Okay!”
Liu Mengyao’s face lit up, her beautiful eyes filled with anticipation.
