Lin Feng was unaware of what was happening at the An Family agency.
Even if he had known, he wouldn’t have felt anything about it.
This was the real professional world.
A bit dark, perhaps.
But it was a true dog-eat-dog world.
Especially when a single deal could earn tens of thousands.
It would be stranger if no one tried to poach the deal.
Besides, there was nothing for him to do if he went back now.
Only two hours had passed since he left.
He figured Su Ruoxi and Lin Xiaoman had probably only just fallen asleep.
So, Lin Feng decided to sit for a while in a milk tea shop next to the hotel.
While he was there, he also made a dinner reservation.
After all, he was taking his sister and girlfriend out to eat.
Lin Feng naturally wouldn’t book a place that was too shabby.
The average cost per person was over a thousand.
It was considered a relatively high-end place in Xiang City.
He couldn’t expect every meal to be like the Peace Imperial Banquet, after all.
Where a meal easily started at tens of thousands.
Xiang City’s economy might have been able to support a restaurant of the Peace Imperial Banquet’s caliber.
But it would never be as popular as it was in Yang City.
He checked the time. It was already past five in the afternoon.
He figured he’d been out for almost three hours.
He guessed Su Ruoxi and Lin Xiaoman were probably waking up by now.
However, just as Lin Feng was about to get up and head back to his hotel room,
his phone rang.
He took out his phone and glanced at it.
He saw it was an unknown number.
But the number was from Xiang City.
And his phone automatically identified the caller as a real estate agent.
Lin Feng thought it might be Huizi calling.
But a call from Huizi should have had a contact name saved.
After a moment’s thought, Lin Feng answered it anyway.
"Who is this?"
Lin Feng asked.
"Hello, Mr. Lin. This is Lü Na from the An Family."
"You might remember me."
’Lü Na?’
Hearing her words, the memory of the woman who tried to poach the deal from Huizi surfaced in Lin Feng’s mind.
’No, that’s not right.’
’She was more of a mature woman.’
On her own,
Lü Na was actually quite attractive.
It was just that when she was with Huizi,
Lin Feng had automatically categorized her as a middle-aged woman.
But,
’Why would Lü Na be calling him?’
"I remember. What’s this about?"
Lin Feng asked.
"Well, it’s like this, Mr. Lin."
"Huizi has resigned from our company."
"So I’ve taken over her deal."
"I happen to have a few listings on hand right now that meet your requirements."
"If you have time this afternoon, we could go take a look."
Lü Na’s words made Lin Feng frown slightly.
’Huizi resigned?’
’And Lü Na took over the deal?’
Although whether Huizi was employed or not had nothing to do with him,
this was too sudden.
Lin Feng’s intuition told him something was off.
But he didn’t say anything.
The reason he frowned was because of the time Lü Na suggested.
"Sorry, I’m taking my girlfriend to dinner this afternoon."
"So I don’t have time."
The timing conflicted.
That was the real reason he’d frowned.
"Oh?"
"You’re busy this afternoon?"
"Then how about tonight?"
"If you’re free tonight, I could also treat you to a couple of drinks."
Hearing Lin Feng was busy in the afternoon, Lü Na suggested another time.
"We’ll see about tonight."
"We can discuss it then if I’m free."
’If it’s tonight, then it won’t conflict with dinner.’
’That’s probably the best option.’
However, Lin Feng wasn’t sure if Su Ruoxi had other plans for the evening.
If she had other plans,
he would definitely prioritize being with her.
"Okay, Mr. Lin. I’ll contact you tonight then."
Getting this answer was satisfying enough for Lü Na.
After all, she was poaching a deal from someone else.
To completely win Lin Feng over,
she knew she’d have plenty of opportunities
once they met in person.
Especially when dealing with a young man like Lin Feng.
With a few of her tricks, she could have him utterly captivated.
In terms of Appearance and figure, she might not measure up to Huizi.
’But how could a green apple ever be as delicious as a ripe peach?’
Even the store manager had been conquered by her.
So why not Lin Feng?
After Lin Feng hung up, Lü Na
reached out and removed the store manager’s hand from her thigh.
"Manager, you heard. I might have to go see Lin Feng tonight."
Lü Na waggled her phone.
The manager nodded.
"I know. But don’t forget what you promised me."
"I’ll take thirty percent of your commission from this one."
Although Lü Na had just removed his hand,
he now placed it back on her.
Hearing the manager’s words, Lü Na didn’t object.
"Don’t worry. We’ve been partners for years."
"Have I ever shorted you a single penny?"
Lü Na said, rolling her eyes at the manager.
No wonder Lü Na was able to get so many deals.
The manager was secretly funneling all the best leads to her!
"Since you’re busy tonight."
"Then come home with me now."
The manager was already aroused.
In truth, so was Lü Na.
But when she thought about having to meet Lin Feng later,
she could only shake her head and say, "How about tomorrow? I really don’t have time today."
"I need to save some energy to handle Lin Feng."
"Come on, it’s fine. I’ll just give you the morning off tomorrow."
"We’ll just say you were out with me meeting a client."
Seeing Lü Na refuse,
the manager said, growing impatient.
He stood up and grabbed his clothes from the coat rack.
"You go on ahead. Wait for me at the usual spot."
"I’ll be right there."
"O... okay."
Truth be told, she was getting impatient too.
’A man needs time to reload his ammo.’
’But women don’t have a cooldown timer.’
’Going out for a bit... I should still make it back in time, right?’
"Don’t worry, I’ll drive you over when the time comes,"
"I have a few outfits at my place. You can pick one out to wear."
the manager added.
As soon as she heard what the manager said,
a thought seemed to cross Lü Na’s mind.
She couldn’t help but roll her eyes at him, then turned and left the office.
「Meanwhile.」
Lin Feng knocked on the door of the hotel suite.
After he rang the doorbell twice, the door opened.
Su Ruoxi, wearing the hotel’s disposable slippers, had slightly messy hair.
She hadn’t even fully opened her eyes.
The moment she opened the door and saw Lin Feng, she threw her arms around his waist.
"You awake?"
Lin Feng raised a hand and ruffled Su Ruoxi’s hair.
He then tucked the messy strands from her forehead behind her ear.
This is just how guys are.
When a girl’s hair is neat, they can’t help but want to mess it up.
And when it’s actually messy,
they can’t help but want to smooth it back down.
It’s a conflict just like ’forcing a good woman into prostitution’ and ’persuading a prostitute to go straight’.
And yet, they’re both things men love to do.
"No, Brother Feng, I’m so sleepy."
Su Ruoxi was still leaning against Lin Feng’s chest,
as if she weren’t fully awake yet.
Hearing Su Ruoxi’s sleepy murmur,
Lin Feng couldn’t help but feel his heart ache for her a little.
Although the main reason Su Ruoxi came to Xiang City was because of her family,
if it weren’t for Lin Feng,
she could have just found a closer city to visit.
There was no need to travel so far.
Although a large part of it was due to Till Death Do Us Part,
it was precisely because of this that Lin Feng’s heart ached for Su Ruoxi.
"Let’s go eat first. You can come back and sleep more after dinner,"
Lin Feng said, ruffling Su Ruoxi’s hair.
"Mmm."
After murmuring her agreement, Su Ruoxi finally loosened her grip on Lin Feng’s waist.
Then she tilted her head up slightly.
Lin Feng, understanding the unspoken request, leaned down.
After he gave her a kiss, Su Ruoxi went into the bathroom to wash up.
"Where’s Xiaoman?"
Lin Feng asked.
"Xiaoman is also in the master bedroom,"
Su Ruoxi’s voice came from the bathroom as she washed her face.
Although it was very likely
that Lin Xiaoman just wanted to chat more with Su Ruoxi,
Lin Feng still pursed his lips after hearing Su Ruoxi’s answer.
’That girl...’
’I haven’t even gotten to sleep in that bed yet, and she beat me to it?’
