Chapter 143: Chapter 143 Tripartite Agreement
Although dinner was delicious, there was a hint of strangeness in the air. Chen Ningxue occasionally glanced at Ling Feng, her eyes revealing a cunning gaze as if she were plotting something.
Yun Hanrui, on the other hand, seemed somewhat distracted. A vague restlessness filled her heart when she caught sight of the intimacy between Ling Feng and Liu Tingyu.
After dinner was cleared away, Chen Ningxue approached Ling Feng with some hesitation, "Ling Feng, I need a favor from you!"
Ling Feng refused offhandedly, "No way!"
"What?" Chen Ningxue was taken aback. She hadnāt expected Ling Feng to reject her so bluntly. Shouldnāt he at least ask what it was about? How was she supposed to continue the conversation?
"Hey, what do you mean by that!" Chen Ningxue said, somewhat annoyed. "Why donāt you ask what itās about!"
"No matter what it is, Iām not helping," Ling Feng said with a chuckle, looking at Chen Ningxue. "The indecision on your face just now already told me that this isnāt going to be anything good, and it might even be very tricky. Why should I make trouble for myself?"
Chen Ningxue was so angry she could almost twist her nose out of shape. She grabbed Ling Fengās arm, "Come on, this is something I have to have your help with!"
Chen Ningxue dragged Ling Feng expertly into Yun Hanruiās bedroom. Then, poking her head out, she said to Liu Tingyu, "Sister Ting Yu, come inside too!"
Liu Tingyu looked surprised, "Me?"
"Yes, Ling Feng definitely canāt make a decision without your consent on this matter!"
Liu Tingyu happily crawled in.
Yun Hanrui felt aggrieved, "Hey, is this my house or my bedroom? You bunch of... Humph, Iām going in too!"
Having said that, Yun Hanrui also opened the door and crawled in.
Aunt Yun and Uncle Yun exchanged glances, their faces showing a wry smile, "These kids... It looks like weāve become the redundant ones!"
In the room, three young women as beautiful and attractive as flowers sat on the bed, forming an intoxicating picture, while Ling Feng was sitting obediently on a chair nearby.
"All right, now you can say what you want!" Ling Feng said helplessly, "It seems like you really wonāt stop until you get your way."
Chen Ningxue replied with some indignation, "If you donāt agree to help me, watch out, Iāll harass your girlfriend! Sister Ting Yu is so beautiful, just perfect to join my Inner Palace and keep Consort Yun company!"
Yun Hanrui gently punched Chen Ningxue, "What are you talking about! Do you really want Ling Feng to..."
In fact, when Chen Ningxue saw Ling Feng, she was truly shocked. She never thought the world could be filled with such coincidences and wonders! She even felt that Ling Fengās appearance was meant to solve her problems!
Although they hadnāt known each other long, Ling Feng had already saved her once and helped her twice! So, the moment she saw Ling Feng, Chen Ningxue decided that the male actor for this time would be Ling Feng!
Conveniently, Ling Feng was also very strong, so even in front of Grandpa Chen, he probably wouldnāt be as timid as the others, right?
Chen Ningxue steadied herself, then turned to Liu Tingyu and spoke earnestly, "Sister Ting Yu, I need your consent first for this matter. Iād like to borrow your boyfriend for a bit!"
"What?" Liu Tingyu was dumbfounded and said with some difficulty, "Sister Ningxue, although I really like you, I canāt just lend you my boyfriend."
Yun Hanrui looked at Chen Ningxue with dissatisfaction, "Hey, the way you say it is too ambiguous! Why donāt you just say you want Ling Feng to pretend to be your boyfriend!"

"Whatās going on here!" A hint of wariness flashed in Liu Tingyuās eyes. When faced with the choice between her idol and her boyfriend, she naturally didnāt hesitate to choose her boyfriend.
Chen Ningxue gave a bitter smile and shared the problem she was facing. As Chen Ningxue explained, the defensiveness in Liu Tingyuās face gradually faded away!
"My old man said that if I donāt bring a boyfriend home this year, next year he will arrange a marriage for me!" Chen Ningxue said somewhat frantically, "This is the headache for me. Just finding anyone wonāt pass the test with Grandpa Chen! But if I donāt find someone, next year Iāll be stepping into the grave of marriage..."
"Better to enter a grave than have your corpse exposed in the streets!" Ling Feng chimed in from the side.
"I would rather have my corpse exposed in the streets than enter that grave so early!" Chen Ningxue exclaimed, "Tingyu, my dear sister, rest assured, as long as I get through this, Iāll find an excuse to break up with Ling Feng, and then Iāll be a single noblewoman again..."
"What if Grandpa Chen pressures you to marry again?" Yun Hanrui interjected.
Chen Ningxue was becoming frantic, "Consort Yun, whose side are you on? By that time, Iāll naturally meet my True Son of Heaven! Right now Iām just worried about the coming three months, Iām almost going crazy, so stop rubbing salt in the wound!"
Liu Tingyu looked at Chen Ningxue with sympathy and after some thought said, "So thatās the situation. But if this gets exposed... will it affect Ling Feng? Sister Ningxueās family seems quite influential!"
"If it gets exposed, it wonāt affect him. Iām afraid Iāll be the one tied up and delivered to marriage!" Chen Ningxue hugged Liu Tingyu, rubbing against her continuously, "Good sister, please agree! This time I really have no other choice!"
"Then I agree!" Liu Tingyu said decisively, "But Sister Ningxue has to give me ten autographed photos in return! Iāve said Iām Sister Ningxueās loyal fan, after all!"
Ling Feng almost choked, "Sold for ten autographs...I must be too cheap!"
Chen Ningxue didnāt expect Liu Tingyu to agree so easily, she was almost in disbelief.
"Really? Really? Thatās just great!" Chen Ningxue exclaimed happily.
Ling Feng said helplessly, "Hey, does anyone care to ask for my opinion? I havenāt agreed yet!"
Chen Ningxue gave Ling Feng a cold look and said, "Whatās there for you not to agree to? As long as all of us sisters agree, thatās enough! Having you pretend to be my boyfriend, how is it a bad deal for you?"
She made such a good point that Ling Feng was left speechless!
"Ling Feng, please help Sister Ningxue out!" Unexpectedly, at this moment, Liu Tingyu walked over to Ling Fengās side, wrapped his arm, and cooed.
Ling Feng could only say helplessly, "Okay then, Iāll give it a try! Itās just acting after all, and thereās no big loss for me!"
Chen Ningxue clapped her hands and laughed, "Exactly, now I can finally breathe a sigh of relief!"
However, the smile on Yun Hanruiās face was somewhat forced, as she found herself increasingly unable to face the intimacy between Ling Feng and Liu Tingyu.
"Could it be that Iāve fallen for Ling Feng?" This thought startled Yun Hanrui as soon as it appeared.
