"Right, Tang Rou, why did you suddenly start overthinking things like this..." Lin Feng looked at Tang Rou, puzzled. He wondered if there was something wrong with his behavior that made her sensitive.

"Lin Feng, did you know? For the week plus you were away, I kept trying to call you. Often, I couldn't get through, or you didn't answer when I did. That's why I've been overthinking..." Having received Lin Feng's promise, Tang Rou looked a bit shy, her voice softening as she spoke.

Lin Feng then understood the source of the problem. While he was undercover helping Wu Mei and Yan Su with their covert mission, he had to hide his identity. To do so, he often kept his regular phone turned off or on silent. Most of the time, he simply couldn't answer calls. Even when he had a moment of free time, it wasn't convenient for him to return calls...

Worried about Lin Feng, Tang Rou had called him numerous times. When he consistently didn't respond, she grew anxious. However, she had a vague feeling that Lin Feng was occupied with something important and didn't dare to disturb him too much. She had been suppressing her feelings all this time. It wasn't until she saw Lin Feng again and noticed the peculiar way Ning Aoxue and Su Zi were behaving towards him that all her pent-up worries finally burst forth.

"Silly girl, didn't I go to your house before setting off to give you a heads-up..." Lin Feng reached out his arms with a hint of apology, tightly hugging Tang Rou's slender waist, as if he wanted to pull her into himself.

"Sometimes I'm bored, I just... want to talk to you..." Tang Rou seemed a bit uneasy being held by Lin Feng, but she didn't resist his hug. She just said with a smile.

"I've missed you too..." Lin Feng gave a light smile. "How about we... Heh heh..."

Tang Rou's pretty face reddened, and she nodded. "Mmm, however you like..."

...

At this time, on the second floor of the villa, in Ning Aoxue's room, Su Zi was lying lazily on the bed. Holding a magazine, she casually said to Ning Aoxue, who had just come out of the bathroom, "Miss Ning, if I were you, I couldn't tolerate that Lin Feng... From Cao Ying to Xue Qingyi, and now this Tang Rou, he has brought three girls back already... If you don't do something, this villa will turn into a women's street..."

Ning Aoxue wordlessly glanced at Su Zi, shook her head, and said nonchalantly, "What are you talking about, A'zi? How can I control Lin Feng's personal affairs? It's his freedom who he likes and brings back. That's none of my business..."

"Heh heh... Miss Ning, you're actually saying this. I remember last time your attitude towards Cao Ying was different! You're just too shy to rein him in, aren't you!" Su Zi changed her posture, lounging on the large bed with her hands propping up her chin, smirking at Ning Aoxue as she continued, "We're best friends; you think I don't know what's on your mind? You've been secretly crushing on Lin Feng for a long time, haven't you!"

"A'zi!" Hearing Su Zi expose her thoughts, Ning Aoxue's expression stiffened, and she glared at Su Zi, flustered and annoyed. "What nonsense are you spouting? Who likes that womanizer... I think you're the one who secretly likes him!"

"Yes... I like Lin Feng. I admitted it a long time ago!" Su Zi kicked her legs up, laughing confidently as she said, "I'm not like you, so reserved, always hiding your feelings and not daring to admit them... I confessed to Lin Feng ages ago, but that fellow never took the bait. There's nothing I can do about it. Who asked this young lady not to be as charming as you, Miss Ning? Lin Feng simply doesn't fancy a country bumpkin like me..."

Su Zi said with an uninhibited laugh. Actually... Su Zi's charm wasn't as weak as she let on, nor was Lin Feng as innocent as she portrayed. There had been a few times when Su Zi deliberately tried to seduce Lin Feng, and he'd almost lost control and taken her on the spot; it was only that Su Zi herself had refused him each time...

"A'zi, you..." Ning Aoxue felt completely defeated by Su Zi. No decent girl would speak so casually about such things. But Ning Aoxue knew that despite Su Zi's outwardly bold demeanor, deep down, she was a rather conservative girl. However, this manner of speech still left her feeling overwhelmed...

"A'zi, I'm not talking to you anymore! You're driving me mad..." Ning Aoxue pouted, her face flushed with annoyance.

Regarding liking Lin Feng at the same time as Su Zi, Ning Aoxue didn't feel any particular pressure... Given their friendship, they wouldn't fall out over a man.

"Aoxue, enough chit-chat. Let me tell you something serious..." Su Zi suddenly said to Ning Aoxue with a solemn expression.

"What serious matter?" Ning Aoxue asked curiously, noticing Su Zi's earnest look...

"Lin Feng and Tang Rou... guess what they're doing upstairs right now? Hee hee..." Su Zi held her breath, her face slightly flushed as she spoke to Ning Aoxue, her expression one of great excitement...
