Chapter 60: Chapter 60 Misunderstood

Yun Hanrui was annoyed again, leaving Ling Feng completely baffled!

"Could it be that I’ve just happened to run into her time of the month?" Ling Feng felt extremely wronged.

Suddenly, Ling Feng remembered that he had forgotten to tell Liu Tingyu before heading out, so he sent her a message on WeChat.

Liu Tingyu quickly replied. It turned out that she was still at the library preparing her thesis materials and probably wouldn’t be able to return home until eleven or twelve at night.

"Let me know when you’re heading home, and I’ll come pick you up! It’s too dangerous this late at night!" Ling Feng replied.

"It’s okay, my home isn’t far. By the way, how did you end up at the Double Twelve event venue? I heard so many celebrities are there today, I’m dying of envy!"

"Envious of what, they’re not as pretty as you, Ting Yu. I’m bored to death here!"

"Hmph, I don’t believe you! If I could also get in and see Chen Ningxue, that would be great. I really like her!"

"You like Chen Ningxue? Do you want me to get you an autographed photo?"

"I seriously doubt your sincerity. If you don’t get the autographed photo tonight, you’re bringing me late-night snacks. I haven’t had dinner yet!"

"No problem, just you wait!"

...

Ling Feng was enjoying himself messaging on WeChat, while Yun Hanrui’s expression grew worse and worse!

After all, she and Ling Feng were childhood friends, virtually inseparable since they were kids. Besides, she was a beauty herself, how could he ignore me so? Yun Hanrui looked at the smile on Ling Feng’s face and felt increasingly upset inside.

Although she didn’t want to marry Ling Feng, being disregarded by him also made her unhappy! For some reason, Yun Hanrui felt a tinge of jealousy towards Ling Feng’s "girlfriend."

"Let’s go!" Yun Hanrui suddenly said indifferently.

Ling Feng was startled, "Go? Where to?"

"Home!" Yun Hanrui said with a cold face.

Ling Feng looked at the performance below, then back at Yun Hanrui, puzzled: "The evening’s event isn’t over yet, are we leaving now?"

"I came here at General Manager Liu’s invitation, and I’ve already visited him, so I consider the task completed! If you like it here, just stay!" Yun Hanrui said as she began to gather her things to leave.

Ling Feng shrugged his shoulders and then asked, "Um... Xiao Rui, I have a favor to ask you!"

Yun Hanrui asked with a suspicious face, "What is it? Don’t bother, even if you ask, I won’t help you! It’s definitely nothing good!"

Man! Ling Feng rolled his eyes: "Hey, you can’t be so prejudiced, okay? This favor is a piece of cake for you. For the sake of our childhood friendship, can’t you help me out?"

As he spoke, Ling Feng made a pitiful face.

Seeing Ling Feng’s antics, Yun Hanrui felt much better. She snorted and said, "Seeing how sincere you are, go on and tell me what it is. If I’m in a good mood, I might just help you!"

"I knew Xiao Rui would be generous!" Ling Feng chuckled, "I have a friend who likes Chen Ningxue. Can you help me get an autographed photo of hers?"

The smile at the corner of Yun Hanrui’s mouth froze: "A friend of yours? A female friend, right?"

Ling Feng laughed awkwardly, "What’s wrong, a girl can’t like Chen Ningxue?"

"I’m sorry, I can’t do it!" said Yun Hanrui coldly.

Ling Feng was anxious, "Aren’t you guys close besties? It’s just an autographed photo, are you really that stingy?"

"Have you never heard of guarding against fire, theft, and best friends?" Yun Hanrui said with a cold laugh. "Besides, why should I get an autograph for your girlfriend? If you want it so badly, go ask her yourself. Maybe Xiaoxue will give you one out of regard for me!"

Ling Feng smiled awkwardly, "What are you talking about? She’s just a common friend! And if I go ask for an autograph, what if she falls for me? Wouldn’t that put you in a difficult position?"

Yun Hanrui looked at Ling Feng with some surprise, "Ling Feng, I really didn’t expect you to have such thick skin now! Where do you get that confidence from?"

"I’ve always been overwhelmingly confident!" Ling Feng declared proudly.

Do you think I’m complimenting you? Yun Hanrui thought to herself.

"Can you drive?"

"Yeah!"

"Well, you drive then. I’ve been drinking today and can’t drive."

"But I’ve been drinking too!"

"How is that my problem? If someone gets caught, it’s your points that are on the line!" Yun Hanrui turned her head, "I’m off to the restroom, no dawdling!"

Ling Feng touched his nose with a wry smile, thinking it’s all for the sake of our childhood friendship, and because you’re pretty, I guess I can drive!

As he approached the door, Ling Feng heard the sound of running footsteps behind him, and then a fragrant breeze wafted over, "Master, Master, why are you leaving so quickly?"

Ling Feng held his head, "Bai Feifei, can you not call me Master? It’s really too much pressure!"

"How can that be?" Bai Feifei said seriously, "Since you accepted me as your disciple, I must show you respect! Don’t worry, Master. From tomorrow on, I’ll come to greet you morning and night, bring you tea, do the laundry, and cook for you—I’ll definitely fulfill my duties as a disciple!"

Ling Feng shivered at the thought. Bai Feifei was already enough of a hassle, but if she were hanging around him all day, calling him "Master" left and right, wouldn’t that drive him insane?

Although Bai Feifei was as beautiful as Yun Hanrui, Ling Feng only admired her without any other feelings.

"Stop, stop!" Ling Feng quickly interrupted Bai Feifei, "I concede! If you really want to become stronger, I can teach you, but you must never, ever call me Master again! If you continue to call me that, I’d rather die than teach you!"

Bai Feifei chuckled, "Deal!"

Whenever the term "Master" came up, Ling Feng thought of the encumbrance that was caught by demons on the journey to enlightenment. It was another reason why he resisted so much!

"When should I come to find you?" Bai Feifei pressed on.

"I’m free these next few days," Ling Feng waved away the issue, "Just give me a call before you come over, and remember, don’t let anyone else know about your and my business—I hate trouble, okay?"

"No problem, Brother Feng," said Bai Feifei, her voice so sweet it was cloying, causing Ling Feng to shiver, "I’ll head off first!"

Bai Feifei’s smile faded as soon as Ling Feng’s figure disappeared from her sight, and her eyes gleamed with determination, "Ling Feng, I’m sorry! I know my request is really too much, but... I have no choice! I must become stronger, no matter what lies ahead, even if it’s a mountain of daggers or a sea of flames, I’ll traverse it without hesitation!"

Meanwhile, Bai Lingqiu pulled along a stylishly dressed woman, "Mom, see, wasn’t I right? That guy must be Sister Feifei’s boyfriend! When have you ever seen Sister Feifei like this?"

Though in her forties, Bai Lingqiu’s mother, Mu Xiao, looked as if she were only in her late twenties thanks to good maintenance. Along with her vivid eyes, people who didn’t know them might think she and Bai Lingqiu were siblings!

Mu Xiao pondered and said, "No wonder that wretched girl is so unwilling every time we set her up on a date; she already has a boyfriend! And she’s kept it hidden from me. Let’s see how I deal with her when I get back!"
