At that moment, Lin Feng had no idea what Manager Wang thought of him.
He was driving toward the largest commercial center in Xiang City.
Su Ruoxi and Lin Xiaoman were there.
A woman’s shopping stamina was truly a force to be reckoned with. From morning until afternoon, these two hadn’t taken a break.
When Lin Feng found them, he could see they still weren’t satisfied, judging by the looks on Su Ruoxi’s and Lin Xiaoman’s faces.
Clearly, a full day of shopping hadn’t tired them out at all.
And this was despite the considerable number of bags they were carrying.
When she saw Lin Feng’s car pull up, Lin Xiaoman beamed and bounced on her feet.
Without a word, she immediately stuffed her things into the car.
"I’m dead tired, Bro."
"If you don’t treat us to a feast tonight, I’m telling Mom and Dad on you!"
Lin Feng noticed that ever since Su Ruoxi had arrived,
his little sister, Lin Xiaoman, was no longer afraid of him. It was like she was borrowing Su Ruoxi’s authority to act tough.
Lin Feng narrowed his eyes, his tone laced with a faint threat. "I guess I won’t be buying you that thing you wanted, then."
But Lin Xiaoman wasn’t scared in the slightest. She just smiled and looped her arm through Su Ruoxi’s.
"My sister-in-law already bought it for me, so I don’t need anything from you!"
Su Ruoxi, standing to the side, let a faint smile grace her lips.
Lin Feng sighed and feigned frustration. "It seems my dear sister isn’t afraid of me anymore. Did you change your last name to Su? Are you part of your sister-in-law’s family now?"
"Of course! I’ve always wanted an older sister!"
Throughout the drive, Su Ruoxi listened with a smile as the brother and sister bickered.
The warm atmosphere allowed Su Ruoxi to relax without even realizing it.
And while Lin Feng bantered with his sister, he kept a close eye on Su Ruoxi.
After all, Su Ruoxi had practically been driven to him by her stepmother.
Seeing the sorrow fade from Su Ruoxi’s face, Lin Feng felt his own heart lighten.
As for Su Ruoxi’s vicious stepmother, Liu Yan, Lin Feng had no intention of letting her off the hook.
「Before they knew it.」
The car gradually came to a stop.
Lin Feng had already chosen a place for them to eat.
It was a rather hidden private kitchen in Xiang City.
Lin Feng had only learned about it by chance from his next-door neighbor.
Today was the perfect opportunity to bring the two of them to try it out.
Su Ruoxi was no stranger to such private kitchens.
Lin Xiaoman, on the other hand, wore a curious expression.
After all, it was tucked away in an alley; you would never know it was a restaurant without a recommendation.
Lin Xiaoman had never been to a place like this before.
This once again made his little sister, Lin Xiaoman, realize that her brother had truly made a fortune from his investments.
As expected of a renowned private kitchen, its specialty dishes were truly excellent.
However, Lin Feng made an unexpected discovery.
’When it comes to pure culinary skill, Chu Ling’er is probably still a cut above,’ he thought.
Still, the restaurant had some other decent dishes.
They just weren’t quite at a top-tier level.
Su Ruoxi didn’t pay too much attention to the food.
Lin Xiaoman, however, loved it, eating until she was completely stuffed.
Lin Feng looked at his sister and shook his head helplessly.
True to her habit of sleeping after a full meal, Lin Xiaoman fell asleep as soon as she got in the car.
Lin Feng drove Su Ruoxi back to her hotel first, then took his high-maintenance sister home.
He Yue was still awake, and when she saw the siblings return,
she made each of them a glass of warm milk.
Just as Lin Feng picked up his glass of milk, his phone chimed.
He opened it to see a new message.
It was from Wei Tianyu.
Ever since Wei Tianyu had relayed how Wang Shan was badmouthing Lin Feng behind his back, the two hadn’t been in much contact.
Lin Feng wondered why he was suddenly sending a message so late at night.
Lin Feng unlocked his phone and opened his chat with Wei Tianyu.
"Old Lin, are you coming to the class reunion tomorrow? This is going to be the biggest turnout we’ve ever had!"
"If you’re free, you should come! You can bring your girlfriend, too!"
"We’re all dying to meet her!"
He opened the chat log and saw a flood of messages from Wei Tianyu.
Lin Feng understood the gist of it.
Wei Tianyu wanted him to come to the class reunion.
They had chosen to hold it during the National Day holiday in hopes that more people could make it.
Lin Feng thought about it. Recently, Huizi and Manager Wang had been busy handling the paperwork for the new storefront and the villa.
He himself didn’t have much going on.
Besides, it was just a small class reunion, and Wei Tianyu had been pretty insistent.
’Since it doesn’t really matter to me, I might as well go.’
As for that punk Wei Tianyu’s suggestion to bring his girlfriend along for introductions...
Lin Feng had no intention of listening to him.
Even if he were to introduce Su Ruoxi to his close friends,
he wouldn’t choose a chaotic event like a class reunion, with all sorts of people there.
A private get-together with just the guys would be fine.
Su Ruoxi wouldn’t feel comfortable with so many people around.
So, after some thought, Lin Feng replied to Wei Tianyu, "I’ll be there tomorrow, but don’t even think about meeting your sister-in-law."
Wei Tianyu replied instantly with a wailing emoji.
He didn’t press the issue, though. To Wei Tianyu, the fact that Lin Feng was willing to come at all was already showing their former classmates a great deal of respect.
Whether Lin Feng’s girlfriend came or not was his own business.
There was no need to force the issue.
Because of the upcoming reunion, Lin Feng could see the group chat was flooded with messages.
Even many people who rarely spoke had popped up to join the conversation.
However, most of them were just discussing the plans for tomorrow.
To Lin Feng, this kind of chatter was pointless, so he simply closed the app.
