Chapter 252: Chapter 252 Greed
Watching the earnestly hopeful Wei Meizi, Ling Feng remained silent. He understood what Wei Meizi meant; all she needed was someone to rely on, and she didnât care about so-called moral standards or status!
If it had been someone else, receiving a femme fatale like her would not only satisfy a manâs desires but also indirectly control a significant power. No matter how you looked at it, it was a very cost-effective deal.
But Ling Feng didnât want it that way. He sighed and said, "Wei Meizi, I understand your feelings, but I still say the same thing, I have no feelings for you, and I cannot accept you!"
"I donât need any status!" Wei Meizi was somewhat anxious, she didnât expect that even without wanting anything, she would still face this outcome!
Ling Feng reached out and pressed his hand against Wei Meiziâs red lips, whispering, "I, Ling Feng, take feelings seriously, if I donât like you, I cannot accept you! But about the Taizi Club and United Hearts Gang affair, I owe you one, so..."
Ling Feng paused and said, "I wonât accept you as my woman, but I hope we can be friends! If you need my help, I will offer it, but... please donât do this anymore, okay?"
Wei Meizi stared blankly at Ling Feng, her large eyes filled with disbelief.
She never imagined that Ling Fengâs rejection would actually bring her a greater surprise!
"Can I really become your friend?" Wei Meizi murmured in disbelief.
Ling Feng patted Wei Meiziâs shoulder and said, "Of course. I, Ling Feng, donât have many friends, and not everyone is qualified to be my friend. By the way... letâs leave the title of âmasterâ in the past. I only did that to subdue you."
At that moment, Ling Fengâs phone rang, receiving a message from Chen Ningxue.
Ling Feng said, "If the matter from yesterday is resolved, just let me know. I need to go now!"
Watching Ling Fengâs departing back, Wei Meizi hugged herself tightly, her eyes sparkling mysteriously.
"Is there really such a man in this world?" Actually, today Wei Meizi had been prepared to dedicate herself, but didnât expect Ling Feng to reject her once again.
However, this rejection intoxicated Wei Meiziâs heart. Ling Fengâs refusal closed one door for Wei Meizi, but it opened another.
"Ling Feng, do you know, this side of you makes you even more enchanting! I canât control my feelings for you anymore!" Wei Meizi murmured to herself, "Be friends? But I, Wei Meizi, am a greedy person. What if a friendship isnât enough for me?"
A slight smile appeared on Wei Meiziâs face, her eyes shining with determination.
After leaving Wei Meizi, Ling Feng slapped his own cheek; this saintly mode truly didnât suit him!
"Saint?" Ling Feng smiled slightly, very aware that the sole reason he had rejected Wei Meizi was that he did not love her now!
With Ling Fengâs pride, he felt that women he did not love were unworthy of being with him. This was also why he had only one woman, Catherine, in the past because deep down, he loved Catherine. And those women sexier and more seductive than Catherine were merely tools for othersâ lust in Ling Fengâs eyes, how could they be worthy of being with him?
"If I liked you, loved you, why would I let you leave easily?" Ling Fengâs lips curled up in a smile. In some ways, Ling Feng was a very selfish person; he tried every means to get what he wanted.
Pushing open the door to Chen Ningxueâs private room, Chen Ningxue was talking to a beautiful woman whom Ling Feng recognized as Chen Ningxueâs manager, Sister Feng.
"Sister Feng, you can handle this matter by yourself!" Seeing Ling Feng enter, Chen Ningxue waved her hand and said, "After all, my principle is that I wonât endorse enterprises without social responsibility!"
This condition was something Chen Ningxue firmly upheld, which puzzled Sister Feng.
"Alright, Iâll first screen some, then let you take a look!" Seeing Ling Feng, Sister Feng also realized that Chen Ningxueâs mind wasnât on work now; she quickly reminded him, "Ahem, remember to take safety measures!"
Chen Ningxue was stunned for a moment, and by the time Sister Feng had left, she blushed and said, "Sister Feng, what are you talking about!"
But Sister Feng had already gone out, leaving only Ling Feng, who watched amusedly.
"By the way, whatâs the situation exactly? Why do I have to spend New Yearâs at your place?" Ling Feng sat down, grabbed an orange, and began to peel it.
Chen Ningxue rolled her eyes, "How would I know? When I went home yesterday, I just heard Elder Master Chen saying this, it seems like theyâre suspicious of your identity!"
"Suspicious?" Ling Feng asked in confusion, "How could you tell?"
Chen Ningxue said, "Elder Master Chen said that you havenât called him at all these days, there must be some issue between us, otherwise, weâre just pretending to be boyfriend and girlfriend, thatâs why he insisted I bring you home for New Yearâs."
Ling Feng was speechless. How could he possibly call old Chen if there werenât anything urgent! Wasnât that just speeding up their exposure?
"Anyway, thatâs the situation. Youâre essentially alone anyway, so come home with me, youâll get free food and drink, itâs a great deal!" Chen Ningxue hooked Ling Fengâs neck, smiling, "Thatâs settled then. Iâll come to find you the day after tomorrow and we can go together, to save me the nagging from Elder Master Chen."
After speaking, Chen Ningxue lazily lay on the sofa, her relaxed demeanor catching Ling Fengâs eye.
"I have plans to go shopping with Xiao Rui today, want to come along?" Chen Ningxue asked.
Ling Feng was startled, "Why would I go shopping with you girls?"
"Of course, itâs for picking out gifts for the day after tomorrow. You donât plan to show up empty-handed, do you?" Chen Ningxue looked Ling Feng up and down, then shook her head, "You need to dress up a bit too. At least try to match my taste in style."
Ling Feng tossed the peeled orange to Chen Ningxue, "You go on your own. Iâll naturally arrange everything for the day after tomorrow; donât worry about it!"
With that, Ling Feng turned around and left.
Chen Ningxue, while eating the orange, sighed softly, "Ah, itâs hard to find a perfect shopping companion, and now heâs run off again!"
The reason Ling Feng left was that his phone had received a message about Yun Hanruiâs incident from the previous day.
