Seeing Wu Mei remain silent, Lin Feng had the impression she believed him. Feeling relieved, he thought that he'd finally met a partner who trusted his amazing memory. How rare indeed!

It was getting late. Lin Feng felt a bit sleepy. When he scanned the room, he saw no place to sleep other than the big bed where Wu Mei was lying. Darn it! Why doesn't a double room come with two single beds? Lin Feng was speechless. What am I supposed to do for a good night's sleep? I wouldn't mind sharing the bed with Wu Mei, but I know she probably wouldn't agree. As for making a bed on the floor, I'm not used to it, and it would be inconsiderate to ask a great beauty like her to do so.

"Lin Feng…" Wu Mei stared at Lin Feng, then whispered, "What are you looking at?"

"Um… I was just thinking about where to sleep tonight… Should we get another room…" Lin Feng scratched his head and said with a smile.

"No… Long Jiu is staying right across the hall. If you get another room, he'll suspect something isn't right!" Wu Mei shook her head. She glanced at the space beside her on the bed, her face flushing slightly as she added, "There's plenty of room on this bed; we can share…"

"Uh…" Lin Feng doubted if he had heard correctly. Is Wu Mei actually inviting me to sleep with her? Is this… real?

"Get in…" Wu Mei said, sounding a bit impatient. She pulled the blanket over, covering half of herself. Then, with one hand, she grabbed the jewelry box containing the Desert Star. CLICK. She opened it, and her delicate fingers gently stroked the large diamond on the two-million-dollar necklace, her eyes somewhat dreamy…

Finally understanding, Lin Feng quickly took off his jacket and climbed in beside Wu Mei.

"Lin Feng…" Wu Mei whispered, her voice trembling slightly.

"Hmm, anything else?" Lin Feng turned his head, looking at Wu Mei's pointed chin. From this angle, he could see the seductive collarbone on her neck.

"Do you… do you look down on me? Do you think I'm shameless?" Wu Mei suddenly summoned her courage, looked straight into Lin Feng's eyes, and asked in a low voice.

The straightforward question stunned Lin Feng. He hadn't expected Wu Mei to blurt out something like that. He realized she might have misunderstood his earlier subtle touch.

Lin Feng looked at Wu Mei's enchantingly alluring face with a playful glint in his eyes. "Why would you think that? I was just captivated by you and wanted to see what was beneath your clothes… I couldn't control myself; it's not your fault. You know, it's a good thing when a woman can make a man interested in her. At least it proves she's attractive to men…"

Wu Mei bit her lower lip and shook her head slightly. "I'm not talking about that. I'm asking you, when I asked you to get into bed just now, why did you lie down without any hesitation? Don't you think I'm easy for doing that? I thought you… would at least decline a little…"

Lin Feng was stunned. He hadn't expected Wu Mei to actually mind this... Good heavens, Miss, you're a beauty, that's why I didn't refuse! If you were unattractive, I would have run away long ago. Does declining once make you seem innocent?

"COUGH, COUGH… I'm not that hypocritical. I wanted to get in, so I did. I didn't think too much about it," Lin Feng said, clicking his tongue casually.

"You…" Wu Mei was defeated by Lin Feng's shamelessness. "You really are thick-skinned!"

"People without shame are invincible in this world. How can one succeed without being thick-skinned!" Lin Feng laughed heartily.

"Then… why did you run away so quickly when I offered to massage you this morning?" Wu Mei suddenly asked, her face slightly red.

If Wu Mei hadn't mentioned it, it would have been fine, but once she did, Lin Feng's blood immediately began to stir… He remembered the perfect touch of Wu Mei's soft, boneless little hands…

"Wu Mei, what exactly did you want to do to me this morning…" Lin Feng asked with difficulty, his throat dry.

"A massage, of course. Don't you men love being massaged by women the most…" Wu Mei chuckled softly. She had indeed intended to tease Lin Feng that morning; the massage was fake, her real intention was to make him uncomfortable.

"You're no ordinary woman…" Lin Feng finally voiced his apprehension. In fact, Lin Feng had feelings for Wu Mei early on. When she deliberately flirted with him at the Emperor Dragon Group, he had developed thoughts about her. Only after learning she was a special police operative did he suppress those thoughts. He hadn't expected to meet her again on this mission; it was like an old flame rekindling…

"Most of the time, I am an ordinary woman. It just depends on whether you are a man or not…" Wu Mei said, looking at Lin Feng with a complex gaze, her face somewhat shy.

Hearing this, Lin Feng was overjoyed. Is Wu Mei encouraging him to take action? He confidently believed that he was a man, and a very capable one at that!

"Lin Feng… did you know, in my twenty-two years, I've never received jewelry as a gift… Today is the first time!" Wu Mei held up the Desert Star box, her enchanting eyes fixed on Lin Feng as she asked softly, "Would you help me put it on? Even if I only possess it briefly, I'd feel very happy…"

"What do you mean, 'possess it briefly'?" Lin Feng was confused by Wu Mei's words. "I gave you the necklace. Is there a problem?"

Wu Mei shook her head. "As long as I continue to be a Detective, I can never own it. It's too expensive; owning it would be a crime."

"Hmph… then just quit being a Detective!" Lin Feng really couldn't understand the point of Wu Mei being a special operative. A woman, risking her life in the darkest corners, completing the most difficult tasks… yet she was to be deprived of the right to even own a diamond necklace gifted by a friend…

"Quitting this kind of work isn't difficult, but who would support me?" Wu Mei said with a wry smile, looking at Lin Feng as she shook her head.

"I'll support you!" Lin Feng said casually. "You know my earning power… Three million from one boxing match, solid cash!"

Wu Mei's eyes lit up at Lin Feng's words, but in the next second, they dimmed. "Boxing isn't exactly a legitimate path. You're only doing it for the mission. Besides, it's all dirty money you won. Can you even keep it? How would you support me?"

Seeing that Wu Mei seemed genuinely willing to be supported by him, Lin Feng gained a deeper understanding of her weariness. What kind of setbacks must she have experienced to harbor such a pessimistic attitude?

"If you really need it… I can support you…" Lin Feng said, looking at Wu Mei, his expression finally serious.

Wu Mei stared at Lin Feng in astonishment. "You… are you serious?"

"I can buy you jewelry worth two million, so supporting you is a piece of cake, isn't it!" Lin Feng laughed casually.

"As long as you're serious… that's good…" Wu Mei suddenly sat up, handed the jewelry box to Lin Feng, and said with a cheerful smile, "Help me put on the necklace first!"
