Hearing another woman's voice in the room, Lin Feng initially thought he had entered the wrong room. Surprised, he looked up to find two women sitting on the massive king-sized bed. One was Wu Mei, and the other was Li Liping.
"Sister Li Leping, why are you in my room?" Lin Feng was bewildered, looking at Wu Mei with a questioning gaze.
Wu Mei stared at Lin Feng with a bitter smile, glancing at Li Liping. She didn't know how to explain. Ever since Li Liping discovered her intimate relationship with Lin Feng, she had been pestering Wu Mei for information about him.
Li Liping assumed Wu Mei was just an ordinary woman Lin Feng had tricked into bed, or perhaps a peripheral model only after money. She subtly probed Wu Mei, trying to find out how she knew Lin Feng, while also implying that he was already taken.
Li Liping mentioned that Lin Feng's girlfriend was her cousin, who came from a prominent family, was exceptionally beautiful, and very refined. She hinted to Wu Mei that regardless of whether Wu Mei was a respectable woman or a courtesan, Li Liping would meet any monetary demand if Wu Mei agreed to leave Lin Feng and never appear before him again.
Wu Mei, having seen her share of the world, found Li Liping's words absurd but concealed her thoughts well. She told Li Liping a half-true story about her family, omitting her job as an undercover police officer and instead claiming to be an unknown young model. She explained she was with Lin Feng because he had promised to help her. Wu Mei's genuinely difficult family situation instantly aroused Li Liping's sympathy. At the same time, Li Liping felt extreme disdain for Lin Feng, believing he had used his money to take advantage of Wu Mei's vulnerability.
"Sister Mei, if only you had met me sooner..." Li Liping said to Wu Mei, clearly frustrated. "I can help you with this. Why let that scoundrel take advantage of you? It's such a shame..."
Wu Mei inwardly scoffed at Li Liping's naivety. If I weren't with Lin Feng and hadn't caught your attention because of him, why would you even listen to me, let alone feel sympathy and offer to help?
Aside from Lin Feng, Wu Mei had almost no true confidants. Her conversation with Li Liping was purely to conceal her identity and her real relationship with Lin Feng, deliberately playing along with Li Liping.
But Li Liping, who had never experienced the darker side of human nature, had no idea Wu Mei was intentionally manipulating her sympathy. She actually believed Wu Mei genuinely wanted to be friends.
As they talked more, they found they got along surprisingly well. Li Liping almost forgot her initial intention of asking Wu Mei to leave Lin Feng. They even ended up discussing Lin Feng's performance in bed. Wu Mei described a few things shyly, causing the inexperienced Li Liping to blush profusely. Eventually, they lay on the bed, chatting comfortably and naturally.
Li Liping's bodyguard had initially opened the door and was standing guard outside. However, Li Liping found him too conspicuous and sent him to an adjacent room.
Therefore, when Lin Feng returned to his room door, he didn't notice anything unusual. It was only after he walked into the room wearing a bathrobe that a startled Li Liping saw him and cried out in surprise.
"Lin Feng... you bastard! It's the middle of the night! Why aren't you resting in your own room? Why did you sneak into Sister Mei's room?" Li Liping stared at Lin Feng's bathrobe, her face flushing red. She didn't know Lin Feng and Wu Mei were sharing a room. She assumed Lin Feng couldn't sleep, had taken a bath, and, unable to control his urges, had come to find Wu Mei to satisfy his desires. What a beast!
"But this is my room..." Lin Feng scratched his head, looking at Li Liping with some confusion. "I should be the one asking you that, Sister Li Leping. Why are you in my room in the middle of the night?"
"Your room?" Li Liping glanced at Wu Mei in surprise. When Wu Mei nodded shyly, Li Liping finally understood. So this beast, Lin Feng, is actually sharing one room with Wu Mei! What an absolute beast!
Given Li Liping's usual composure, suddenly facing such a situation was naturally mortifying. However, she reacted quickly. Staring at Lin Feng's bathrobe, she retorted provocatively, "Just because you say it's your room, that makes it yours? I've been here for four or five hours and haven't seen you. Besides, where did you get that bathrobe? This room is fully stocked with toiletries..."
"Ahem..." Lin Feng glanced down at himself awkwardly, then looked nervously at Wu Mei and said in a low voice, "Well... I just came back from the spa. I forgot to change..."
The Treasure Ship was fully equipped with various entertainment facilities, including spas and saunas. It was normal to change into a bathrobe at the spa. However, someone like Lin Feng, walking out still wearing a bathrobe, was definitely not standard practice.
"Bullshit! You're just spouting nonsense!" Li Liping curled her lip, glanced at Lin Feng with obvious dissatisfaction, then turned to Wu Mei. "Men always talk such rubbish. You were clearly out fooling around, and some woman probably tore your clothes, right?!" she said, as if Wu Mei was making a bad bargain. "Sister Mei, see? How is a man like this worthy of your devotion? How about this: I'll cover your mother's medical expenses. Just leave this stinking man, okay?"
Damn it! Lin Feng was itching to curse. What was Li Liping trying to pull? Telling Wu Mei to leave me? Is she trying to steal my woman? And since when do I stink? I smell perfectly fine! Besides, my clothes were burned in an explosion! Which of your eyes saw a woman tear them? You're the one spouting nonsense!
Lin Feng was now experiencing Li Liping's "powerful" logic firsthand, and it was giving him a bit of a headache. Still, he was also keen to see how this would play out. Wu Mei isn't an ordinary woman. She won't be swayed by just a few words, right?
I'd like to see how Wu Mei is going to turn you down... Lin Feng watched Wu Mei with a mischievous smirk, trying to keep a straight face, eagerly anticipating her response to Li Liping.
Hearing Li Liping's words, Wu Mei couldn't help but roll her eyes inwardly, though her expression showed no impatience. Instead, she adopted a pitiful look, shook her head, and said mournfully, "Little Sister Liping, you don't understand. Lord Dragon ordered me to serve Lin Feng. If I were to leave him rashly, Lord Dragon wouldn't spare me. Thank you for your kind intentions."
Upon hearing this, Li Liping flew into a rage. "How can Lord Dragon be so unreasonable? He knows you're unwilling, yet he still forces you to serve this awful man! Just you wait, I'll have my dad speak to Lord Dragon. I refuse to believe it! My dad is the Jiangnan Ship King, after all; Lord Dragon wouldn't dare disrespect him!"
