209 Who Is More Important, Boss Or Best Friend?

Xiao Fei had known Luo Feng since before he became the boss. She had a carefree personality and would not become distant because of Luo Feng’s change in status. If anything, she might have become even more fawning than before.

Therefore, the other employees probably treated Luo Feng as their boss while Xiao Fei treated him as the big brother who gave them money.

This interaction made Luo Feng feel much more at ease.

“You really want to spend the New Year with us?” Xiao Fei leaned closer to Luo Feng, her eyes filled with anticipation.

Luo Feng sighed and said, “That’s right… I’m homeless and came to seek refuge with you.”

“It’s fine!” Xiao Fei patted Luo Feng’s shoulder heroically. “Boss, you and the children of our orphanage are family. Tell me if you need anything. I’m not bragging but other than Dean Du, I have the final say in our orphanage now!”

Xiao Fei had the demeanor of a logistics minister.

It was not that Xiao Fei was bragging.

her age was actually more awkward in the orphanage. She was a few years younger than Ai Tingya and was between sensible and insensible. She was still too young to go out and find an independent job and could not do much.

However, she was very cheerful and knew the ways of the world. She was also very efficient at work.

When she was in the orphanage, her prestige was not small. It could be seen from the first time Luo Feng came to the orphanage when Xiao Fei organized the children to inspect Luo Feng.

Even though the children were bought over by Luo Feng’s snack gift bag, this did not affect the children from listening to Xiao Fei.

In comparison, Ai Tingya was focused on her studies and was even older than the children. She was not as popular as Xiao Fei.

“Ahem, since Xiao Fei is so enthusiastic, I happen to need your help with something.” Luo Feng revealed a meaningful smile. “Can you help me?”

When he arrived, he had something on his mind for a long time. It was not good to tell Ai Tingya, but he did not know how to mention it to Dean Du. Little Fei appeared at the right time, sending him a pillow just as he was about to sleep.

Luo Feng definitely had to seize the opportunity.

His words almost praised Xiao Fei to the sky.

“Tell me!” Xiao Fei was especially happy.

She was even happier to be able to help Luo Feng than to receive a bonus at work. The children of the orphanage had received a lot of favors from Luo Feng after all. They wanted to find an opportunity to repay Luo Feng, but they always realized that he did not lack anything.

They did not have anything to show off.

Now that the opportunity was in front of her, Xiao Fei’s eyes were sparkling. She wanted to see how she could help Luo Feng.

Luo Feng cleared his throat and said shyly, “Look, this is my first time in an orphanage… I’m unfamiliar with this place… I’m a little nervous…”

“What?”

“Yes?”

Ai Tingya and Xiao Fei revealed the same expression at the same time—they were filled with question marks.

In the past, when she was in high school, Ai Tingya would revise at Luo Feng’s house. Luo Feng would send Ai Tingya home every night. If she came back early, Dean Du would sometimes invite Luo Feng in to sit down and cook some noodles for the two of them for supper.

He almost treated the orphanage as his home and came more diligently than anyone else.

Why was he still shy?

Xiao Fei glanced at Ai Tingya and realized that she was also looking at her. The two of them seemed to have the same thoughts.

“So?”

“I want to… live in the same room as someone I’m familiar with. Otherwise, I’ll be very uneasy.” Luo Feng said his request seriously and stuck out his chest. He felt that his reason was very convincing.

“…” Xiao Fei pointed at herself and said, “You mean you want to share a room with Xiao Ya and let me live elsewhere?”

Dean Du shook her head, thinking that Xiao Fei was too naive and had been tricked.

She had indeed agreed to let Luo Feng stay, but she did not say which room she wanted him to stay in. There were many rooms in the orphanage after all, so it was not a problem for Luo Feng to change one every day.

When Luo Feng mentioned the room, his eyes never left Ai Tingya. How could he sleep in another room?

Xiao Fei came to a realization! Luo Feng was trying to occupy the magpie’s nest!

“No way!”

Before Xiao Fei could speak, Ai Tingya stood up and objected.

She was engaged to Luo Feng, so it was legitimate. However, she had watched the children in the orphanage grow up, especially Dean Du. She almost raised Ai Tingya as her own daughter.

Ai Tingya would be so shy to sleep in the same room as Luo Feng in such a situation.

She glared at Xiao Fei and told her not to fall into Luo Feng’s trap!

Xiao Fei felt Ai Tingya’s killing intent and shivered. She smiled bitterly and said, “Boss, this… isn’t good, right?”

“Ah? That’s not what you said just now! How can you go back on your word?” Luo Feng was like a little resentful woman who had been bullied. “Do you treat me as your big brother!”

Damn it!

Xiao Fei felt like she was being roasted over a fire. Luo Feng had actually taken the initiative to change the way he addressed her. Wasn’t this adding another layer of friendship in addition to being the boss?!

On one side was her childhood friend, Ai Tingya, and on the other was her new brother, Luo Feng, who gave her her salary.

Xiao Fei touched her conscience and the scales gradually shifted in Ai Tingya’s direction.

“Speaking of which, I originally planned to promote you after the New Year.” Luo Feng muttered softly, his voice just loud enough for Xiao Fei to hear. “I think you need to hone yourself a little more seeing how hesitant you are.”

Absolute kill!

Xiao Fei widened her eyes, afraid that she would hear wrongly because she was too nervous. “What did you say?”

“Nothing.” Luo Feng hummed a tune with an expression that said, “Do as you see fit.”

“Big Brother Luo! You’re my biological big brother!” Xiao Fei was extremely excited.

Ai Tingya’s heart skipped a beat. She knew that this little girl was going to defect again!

“It’s human nature to be afraid of strangers! I think it’s very necessary to leave you with someone familiar to take care of you! Wait for me. I’ll pack my things and leave immediately!” Xiao Fei was impassioned, as if she was taking an oath.

Her hand that was touching her heart clenched into a fist.

Conscience? As long as she did not touch it, her conscience would still exist!

However, for the sake of her boss, it didn’t matter if she didn’t have it!

“Xiao Fei… Wait…” Before Ai Tingya could stop her, Xiao Fei had already disappeared like a gust of wind. She could not even be seen by the tail lights.

She could only look at Dean Du, hoping that she could say something. She was an elder after all. Luo Feng would definitely listen to Dean Du. Ai Tingya placed her hopes on her.

Unexpectedly, Dean Du’s eyes were on Ai Tingya’s ring finger. There was a diamond ring the size of a pigeon egg on it.

Dean Du knew that Ai Tingya did not like small accessories that were good-looking but useless. She had been very minimalistic for more than a decade. The things that she could wear day and night must have a special meaning.

She was still so shy even though she was engaged.

Dean Du covered her mouth and smiled without saying anything. She had no intention of standing up to speak.

“Dean…” Ai Tingya reminded softly, “Luo Feng is too unreasonable.”

“It’s indeed ridiculous.” Dean Du suddenly stood up and said as she walked, “Xiao Fei will definitely only pack her things. I’ll change your sheets.”
