Chapter 576: Chapter 576: Scumbag?
"Whatâs wrong? Not happy to see me?" Chen Biao said playfully, "Sit down. I heard Xiao Xue had an accident yesterday, so I came over to check on her today. Has she not woken up yet?"
Ling Feng was immensely embarrassed. From Elder Master Chenâs tone, it was a foregone conclusion in his mind that Ling Feng had slept with Chen Ningxue. What made Ling Feng feel even more guilty and unable to refute was the fact that he indeed had slept with Chen Ningxue!
Although they hadnât done anything indescribable, being seen by old Chen still left Ling Feng with a guilty conscience. Moreover, the soft and slippery touch of Chen Ningxue was still lingering on his fingertips.
"Xiaoxue, this child, is lucky to have you as her boyfriend to protect her. Otherwise, who knows what might have happened!" Elder Master Chen said with a smile, "By the way, I heard you went to carry out a task for the Dragon Group. Why didnât you come by the house when you got back? Is there some problem between you and Xiao Xue?"
Ling Feng opened his mouth but discovered that he didnât know how to respond! To admit there was a problem, when they were still "sleeping together" nowâwho would believe it? Moreover, Ling Feng had a feeling that if he denied his relationship with Chen Ningxue right now, perhaps Elder Master Chen would pull out a gun and shoot him dead on the spot!
"This... Itâs the same as before!" Ling Feng said vaguely, "Iâve been a bit busy since I got back, so I didnât have the chance to visit old Chen!"
Chen Biao nodded slightly, "Itâs good for young people to be busy. When I learned you were an Honorary Elder of the Dragon Group, it really shocked me! I knew Xiao Xue had high standards. The person she fancies is surely no ordinary man. Indeed! You and Xiao Xue should move things along a bit faster, even after you get married, you can still continue with your careers!"
*Cough cough!* Ling Feng almost choked, "What? Marry?"
Elder Master Chenâs brow furrowed, "Of course, marriage. Donât tell me youâre dating with no intention of getting married? Are you just playing around with Xiao Xue?"
When Elder Master Chenâs brow furrowed and his aura solidified, even Ling Feng, an S-rank expert, felt a bit of pressure. Truly a battle-hardened iron-blooded general!
Ling Feng broke into a sweat, "That... of course, Iâm not just playing around... itâs just that both Xiao Xue and I think weâre still young, and about the marriage..."
"Still young? When I was your age, I had been married for seven or eight years!" Elder Master Chen snorted coldly, "However, I trust Xiao Xue and my own judgment. Youâre definitely not one of those scumbags from TV dramas. Iâm still quite confident in your character! I know you two must have your own plans, and, as an old man, I really shouldnât interfere. But you see, when a person gets old, they tend to get sentimental!"
Elder Master Chen sighed, "In my youth, I fought for the country, aiming to establish a strong Huaxia. Now that Iâm old and canât wield a gun, Iâm looking forward to seeing the Chen family blossom and flourish. I donât know how many more years I can breathe, but if I could see my great-grandchildren before I go, that would fulfill one of my wishes!"
Ling Feng felt rather embarrassed and didnât know how to follow up.
"Alright, seeing that you two are fine, I can rest easy!" Chen Biao pointed at the thermos on the table, "This is old chicken soup that I asked the housekeeper to simmer. Xiao Xue used to love it. Give it to her when she wakes up. Iâll be leaving first!"
With that, Chen Biao walked out of Qingxin Xiaozhu, leaning on his crutch.
Once outside, the security guard hurried to greet him.
"Quick, letâs go!" Chen Biao got into the car, hastily speaking, and moved spryly, leaving his cane aside.
Once the car had driven away from Qingxin Xiaozhu, Chen Biao wiped his sweat, "Luckily it was Ling Feng who came out first. If Xiao Xue had come out and seen me breaking into Qingxin Xiaozhu, she definitely wouldnât have let me off easily. But... tsk tsk, Xiao Xue, Grandpa has done what he can to help you! I donât believe that kid Ling Feng would dare act like a scumbag in front of me, or else heâll have to be careful of old manâs gun. Humph!"
In the car, Chen Biao sat back comfortably, crossing his legs and humming the tune of "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy" with satisfaction, looking as if he had won a battle.
At that moment, Ling Feng, on the other hand, was almost in tears!
As soon as Elder Master Chen came in, it was settled that he saw himself as Chen Ningxueâs boyfriend! In the entirety of Huaxia, there probably wasnât a man who dared to "sleep for free" with Chen Ningxue without taking responsibility!
"Somethingâs not right here," Ling Feng thought as he sat on the sofa. The timing of Elder Master Chenâs appearance seemed too perfect, as if he had calculated everything in advance!
Before Ling Feng could think further, the bedroom door opened, and Chen Ningxue came out in her pajamas, yawning and waving her hand: "Hey, good morning!"
After taking a good look at Chen Ningxueâs expression, Ling Feng didnât find anything unusual and breathed a sigh of relief.
After freshening up, Chen Ningxue sniffed: "Whatâs that smell? Why does it smell so good?"
Ling Feng had already served the old chicken soup in bowls and said, "Itâs the smell of this old chicken soup."
"Old chicken soup?" Chen Ningxueâs eyes lit up, she quickly sat next to Ling Feng and took a sip from a bowl.
Instantly, a look of bliss spread across Chen Ningxueâs face: "This old chicken soup tastes exactly like the one at home; itâs really delicious! Ling Feng, where did you buy it? I had no idea there was a place that sold old chicken soup around here?"
As she spoke, Chen Ningxue took another sip.
Ling Fengâs face turned a bit sour: "I didnât buy it; it was brought by Grandpa Chen!"
Pfft! Chen Ningxue spat out a mouthful of chicken soup right onto Ling Fengâs face: "What? My grandpa brought it? When did he bring it? Where is he?"
Ling Feng looked at Chen Ningxue with a mournful expression, her face flushed red, and she quickly grabbed a towel nearby and handed it to Ling Feng.
Ling Feng wiped his face and briefly told Chen Ningxue what had just happened!
"Oh my god, itâs all over now!" The look on Chen Ningxueâs face was one of both angry and fearful.
"So, doesnât that mean my grandpa knows about us sleeping in the same bed yesterday?" Chen Ningxue said dryly.
Ling Feng nodded with difficulty: "If nothing went wrong, he indeed knows!"
Chen Ningxue and Ling Feng exchanged glances, their faces involuntarily showing a bitter smile.
But in Chen Ningxueâs heart, apart from some irritation, there was also a hint of confusion: "Whatâs Grandpaâs purpose in doing this?"
As the granddaughter of Chen Biao, Chen Ningxue naturally knew that Chen Biao wouldnât easily set foot in Qingxin Xiaozhu without a special purpose!
"Could it be... Grandpa has seen through the relationship between Ling Feng and me, and also through my heart?" Chen Ningxue couldnât help but glance at Ling Feng, her heart thumping wildly.
