Chapter 41: Chapter 41: Does the Toad Covet Swan Meat?
"Iām sorry for getting the new clothes you bought for me dirty!"
"Donāt talk!" Liu Tingyu was applying safflower oil to Ling Fengās burn.
"You only have some red marks here, it doesnāt seem serious!" Liu Tingyu said carefully while applying the safflower oil, "You were too impulsive today. What if he had called the police?"
Ling Feng said indifferently, "Call the police? I actually think he doesnāt have the guts to do that. Besides, even if he did, I would still have beaten him up."
Liu Tingyu tapped Ling Feng lightly and said, "Ling Feng, I know you must have had some extraordinary experiences abroad. What I want to tell you is, in Huaxia, force does not solve everything! So, I donāt want you to get hurt, do you understand what I mean?"
"Donāt worry, I have it under control," said Ling Feng.
Liu Tingyu gently leaned against Ling Fengās back. Ling Fengās body shuddered, he could feel the soft body of the girl behind him and her warm fragrance, and he could also sense the surging feelings in her heart.
"Ting Yu, you..." Ling Feng didnāt dare to move.
With her eyes closed, Liu Tingyu faintly said, "Can you not move? Can I hold you like this for a while?"
Although she hadnāt known Ling Feng for long and there had been misunderstandings at first, within just a few short days, Liu Tingyu found herself falling for this mysterious and powerful man!
Whether it was helping her drive away the landlord, teasing Zheng Xinyi for her, or the protection he offered during the bank robbery and restaurant incidents!

Liu Tingyu found it hard to believe, but when Ling Fengās body stood in front of her, she felt so at peace, as if with Ling Feng by her side, she feared nothing!
"I, Liu Tingyu, never believed that one could fall in love with someone in just three short days! Ling Feng, are you really the one destined for me?" With this sentiment, Liu Tingyu gradually fell asleep behind Ling Feng.
A quarter of an hour later, Ling Feng finally noticed the rhythmic breathing of the sleeping Liu Tingyu. He couldnāt help but give a wry smile.
When he gently placed Liu Tingyu on the bed, she subconsciously grabbed his hand, "Bad person, donāt go, donāt go..."
In her murmuring whispers, Ling Feng looked at the sleeping Liu Tingyu with a complex expression and gently touched her forehead, "Sleep, good night!"
Because Liu Tingyu lived in the master bedroom, and Ling Fengās original bedroom hadnāt been tidied up yet, he still lay on the sofa.
But at that moment, Ling Fengās eyes held no hint of sleepiness.
Liu Tingyuās feelings for him, Ling Feng was no fool, of course he could feel it.
To be fair, Liu Tingyu was a pure and beautiful angel. Surely, anyone lucky enough to be favored by her would be overjoyed.
But Ling Feng knew that the battle with the Divine Gate instructor six months ago had left him with a condition that was spiraling out of control! Unless a miracle occurred, he could live for at most five more years!
And after five years? Ling Feng couldnāt help but contemplate!
If he responded to Liu Tingyuās feelings now, he dared not imagine what would happen in five years! Was he to let Liu Tingyu accept the fate of his inevitable death? Wouldnāt that be too cruel for her?
Yet Liu Tingyuās purity had a fatal attraction for Ling Feng!
Moreover, Ling Feng was not sure if Liu Tingyu, so full of brightness, could accept his dark past, or if knowing his history, she would still choose to stay by his side without hesitation?
All of this, Ling Feng was uncertain of!
In the darkness, Ling Fengās hesitant and struggling eyes gradually became resolute.
He decided not to respond to these feelings for now! If love could truly overcome everything, then all of Ling Fengās concerns wouldnāt be a problem! Therefore, he chose to let nature take its course and leave it to time!
Only through the accumulation of time can one truly discern what is love and what is gratitude!
In the days that followed, Liu Tingyu and Ling Feng maintained a mysterious relationship. It seemed as though the air had been cleared between them, yet neither had truly expressed their feelings.
Liu Tingyu went to the library to research as usual, the only change being that upon meeting Zheng Xinyi again, Zheng bowed deeply to her and expressed her apologies.
Meanwhile, Ling Feng tidied his room and finally got his original bedroom cleaned up. During this time, he was also called over for meals by Uncle Yun twice, but alas, he did not run into Yun Hanrui.
Bai Feifei was very supportive and even managed to get Ling Feng his ID card, saying, "Donāt bother me with these trifling matters ever again!"
While Ling Feng was taking life easy, he unexpectedly received a phone call.
"Little... Yun Hanrui? Is the sun rising from the west today? How come you have time to call me?" Ling Feng asked, lounging on the sofa while listlessly flipping through TV channels.
Yun Hanrui frowned, "Ling Feng, what are you doing right now? Arenāt you looking for a job?"
Ling Feng replied teasingly, "Why would I be looking for a job? Iāve got fifty billion US dollars with you. Why donāt you give me an advance to use?"
"Not a chance!" Yun Hanrui retorted angrily, "Ling Feng, canāt you be a little more ambitious? Let me tell you, I wonāt give you any shares if youāre going to be this lazy!"
A smile appeared at the corner of Ling Fengās mouth; he actually enjoyed watching Yun Hanrui get seriously angry.
"Iām just kidding!" Ling Feng said, "Itās already December, what company is still hiring? Itās good enough if they arenāt laying people off."
"Hmph, come over here, I have something to tell you!"
"Canāt you say it over the phone... Hello? Hello? This little girl, she actually hung up on me!" Ling Feng said with a wry smile as he looked at the phone, "Alright, Iāll go over and take a look at just how big Chaoyang Biotechnology really is!"
An hour later, Ling Feng stepped out of the taxi.
"This is Chaoyang Biotech? Itās actually in an industrial park? From the looks of this scale, it must occupy at least several hundred hectares."
He knocked on the security guardās window, "Brother, Iām here to see Yun Hanrui, could you please open the gate for me?"
A security guard, around thirty years old, poked his head out, "Which department are you from? Looking for Yun Hanrui? Which department is she in? Have her call our security post."
Ling Feng was momentarily speechless; could it be that the security guard didnāt even recognize his own chairman?
It wasnāt that the security guard didnāt recognize the chairman; he simply never imagined that this casually dressed man was here to see the chairman.
Left with no choice, Ling Feng dialed Yun Hanruiās number, but nobody answered, and the call went to voicemail.
"Damn, what on earth does this Little Yun want to do!" Ling Feng muttered to himself in exasperation, "Security brother, isnāt Yun Hanrui your chairman? Just call her and say her guest has arrived."
The security guard, who was drinking water, spat it out, "Are you daft? Youāre looking for the chairman? Have you lost your mind? Do you think just anyone can see the chairman? Off you go, off you go! Iāve seen plenty of guys like you, claiming to see the chairman to pursue her! You donāt look like a rich second generation to me, brother. Let me give you a piece of advice, the chairman is a beauty beyond compare, not someone you toads can dream about. Get going!"
