Lin Feng had been listening from the side as Cao Ying and Li Liping talked. He naturally understood that the reason Cao Ying's mother, Wang Yueqin, had forbidden their association today was because Li Liping had revealed his relationship with Cao Ying. However, Lin Feng didn't blame Li Liping...

Firstly, Lin Feng didn't think there was anything shameful about his relationship with Cao Ying. He had even met Cao Tiannan, so why would he fear meeting Wang Yueqin? Although Wang Yueqin's attitude was considerably harsher than Cao Tiannan's, Lin Feng didn't harbor much resentment towards her. As a parent, Wang Yueqin's concern for Cao Ying was perfectly normal...

Another point was that Lin Feng actually felt a little guilty when facing Li Liping, because she had personally witnessed him being flirtatious with Wu Mei onboard the Treasure Ship... More importantly, his relationship with Wu Mei was more than just simple flirtation...

However, Lin Feng couldn't bring himself to be pleased about Li Liping's act of informing on them, so his current attitude towards her was simply to ignore her. Therefore, Lin Feng acted as if he hadn't heard the conversation between the two cousins, Cao Ying and Li Liping.

It was only when he heard there was food that Lin Feng finally perked up a bit.

"'A buffet is best... Otherwise, I won't get full...' Lin Feng said with a laugh, lightly patting his stomach."

Li Liping looked at Lin Feng speechlessly. So this fellow Lin Feng is that easy to please? He's this happy just over a meal? And I was actually worried he'd try to settle scores with me. What a waste of anxiety...

Among the three of them, Li Liping was the most familiar with the Longyue Building Club. Because she enjoyed going out, she often accompanied her father, Li Hong, on his outings and had been to Longyue Building twice before. Naturally, Li Liping became their guide.

Li Liping expertly led Cao Ying and Lin Feng into a large buffet hall, lowering her voice to say with a laugh, "Sis, let me tell you beforehand, the food at this club is much more expensive than outside, but the taste is just average. Don't get your hopes up too high..."

"Aren't you afraid they'll kick us out for badmouthing them to their faces like that?" Cao Ying asked with some exasperation, gesturing towards the chefs handling ingredients nearby and shooting Li Liping a look.

"I'm just whispering this to you, Cousin. If you don't tell anyone, who's going to know?" Li Liping said, laughingly hugging Cao Ying's arm. "You wouldn't sell me out, would you, Cousin..."

Lin Feng chose that moment to let out a cold chuckle, making his presence known. He inwardly scoffed at Li Liping's words. My hearing is excellent; it's not easy to hide things from me. She says Cao Ying won't betray her? I wonder who it was that betrayed Cao Ying just recently! Isn't it a bit too late to be sucking up now...

Lin Feng felt it was necessary to teach this girl a lesson. Otherwise, she'll really think she can act with such impunity!

Hearing Lin Feng's cold chuckle, Li Liping naturally understood. Her pretty face flushed slightly with shyness and embarrassment as she realized that what she had just said to her cousin did seem rather shameless... But that was clearly a secret I was sharing with my cousin! What was Lin Feng eavesdropping for? That guy! Not only did he eavesdrop, but he's sneering too! He's gone too far!

"Lin Feng, what did you mean by that cold chuckle just now?!" Li Liping glared at Lin Feng, asking in a sharp tone.

"'It means nothing. It's precisely because it was meaningless that I sneered...' Lin Feng replied with a smile, looking at Li Liping nonchalantly."

"Are you... are you saying that what I said was pointless?" Li Liping's pretty face paled slightly.

"I didn't say that..." Lin Feng shook his head, then continued, "But if you insist on putting it that way, I agree with your assessment..."

"'You jerk, Lin Feng! How dare you belittle me like that! Don't forget what you did on the ship! HMPH...' Li Liping glared at Lin Feng, threatening him fiercely. Internally, she hesitated, Should I tell Cousin Cao Ying everything about Lin Feng and that Wu Mei woman? The consequences of tattling last time are still vivid in my mind... She was a bit wary now."

Lin Feng paused. Judging by Li Liping's words, does this mean she hasn't told Cao Ying about Wu Mei and me yet?

Cao Ying chuckled silently as she watched Lin Feng. She knew his personality; he couldn't stand the slightest grievance. Today, Lin Feng had been thoroughly embarrassed by her mother, Wang Yueqin, and he probably holds a bit of a grudge against my cousin for it now...

This 'villain' is just Li Liping; if it were anyone else, Lin Feng wouldn't have let them off so easily! Cao Ying thought. Besides, she herself was somewhat dissatisfied with Li Liping, so she decided to sit back and watch the tigers fight, staying out of the squabble between Lin Feng and Li Liping.

Regarding Li Liping's previous mention of "Lin Feng fooling around with other women behind Cao Ying's back," Cao Ying had mistakenly assumed Li Liping was referring to Tang Rou...

Deep down, Tang Rou is more suitable for Lin Feng, Cao Ying believed, feeling no jealousy towards her. As their former substitute teacher, I even secretly hope they'll end up together... As for myself and Lin Feng, I see him more as a close friend!

"'Forget it, forget it. A gentleman doesn't argue with a lady... I'm going to get some food... I can't be bothered with you!' Lin Feng said, knowing it wasn't wise to provoke Li Liping further. When girls get angry, they often say things without thinking..."

"'I'll go get some food too...' Cao Ying said with a smile. With a graceful sway of her slim waist, she stood up and followed Lin Feng. The two of them walked towards the buffet station, talking and laughing..."

"'I can't be bothered with you either! You jerk, Lin Feng...' Li Liping huffed, suddenly feeling a surge of indignation. It was clearly Lin Feng who was fooling around with that Wu Mei woman behind Cousin's back on the Treasure Ship! So how did it end up looking like I was the one in the wrong? And Cousin won't even say a word to help me! This is infuriating..."

Upset, Li Liping completely lost her appetite, feeling bloated. She signaled a waiter to bring her a glass of lemonade. Sipping it through a straw, she listlessly played with her phone...

Lin Feng and Cao Ying quickly selected their food and returned with full plates, sitting down opposite Li Liping.

Cao Ying was curious about how Li Liping and Lin Feng had met on the Treasure Ship, so she asked Lin Feng with a smile about what had happened on board...

While recounting his various boxing experiences on the ship, glossing over the more serious aspects, Lin Feng kept stealing glances at Li Ping's reactions. As for the adult-rated content involving Wu Mei and Xue Qingyi, and the life-and-death duel with Ling Yun, he conveniently omitted those details...

Lin Feng was a good storyteller. Just by recounting the thrilling tales of his boxing matches against Zheng Shuizhou, Long San, Wang Chen, and Long Tianyi, he managed to captivate both Cao Ying and Li Liping...

After listening to Lin Feng's thrilling accounts, Cao Ying's beautiful eyes shifted. Looking directly into Lin Feng's eyes, she asked softly, "Lin Feng... can I ask why you agreed to fight in those boxing matches for others?"
