Chapter 621: Nangong Bing’s Scoff
Lin Zifeng’s impatience made the young girl feel a bit shy, as she lowered her little head, with both her tender hands continuously fidgeting with the hem of her clothes.
"Big brother, what’s your name?"
Lin Zifeng answered without hesitation.
"Can I, can I also have the surname Lin in the future?" the girl asked with her lovely face blushing and somewhat at a loss. She feared Lin Zifeng would flatly reject her request.
She was a girl with very little confidence, her inherently inferior character made her feel that she could never compare with others.
"I’ve been without a surname since I was little, a trash-collecting granny named me Chuqing, and I still don’t know what my surname is."
"Aren’t you surnamed Mo?"
Lin Zifeng looked at her with surprise.
"I gave that to myself because most young people have a surname, I didn’t want to be laughed at as a freak, so I took on the surname Mo."
Lin Zifeng’s heart tightened, his furrowed brows gradually relaxed, and he smiled, "From now on, you’re a Lin, Lin Chuqing!"
The girl suddenly became excited, and in her haste, she even grasped Lin Zifeng’s palm.
"From now on, I have a surname, I’m Lin Chuqing, no longer an orphan without relatives."
"Right! Your surname is Lin, and you’re no longer an orphan." The man’s resolute face also revealed a hint of comfort.
Perhaps it was the tightly wound heart that had suddenly found release after many years.
Or maybe it was because life had been so tense over the years, having such a sister truly comforted him.
Despite Lin Zifeng’s insistence, Lin Chuqing was still unwilling to move.
She didn’t want Lin Zifeng to spend money on her.
Her acknowledgment of Lin Zifeng as her brother was not about gaining anything financially, but about that pure sense of kinship.
It wasn’t until late at night that Lin Zifeng finally left slowly.
Feeling the sudden silence in the house, the girl lay disappointed on her bed.
The sensation of having relatives was beautiful, which kept Lin Chuqing awake until late into the night.
After returning home, it was almost three in the morning.
Inside the villa was silence, not a sound to be heard.
Lin Zifeng also returned tiptoe, bringing back all the broken flowers he bought for Chuqing.
After entering, he casually placed them on the table.
Until the next morning, the old master still maintained the habit of going to bed early and rising early.
In the morning, after a refreshing bath, the lovely X stepped out in cloth shoes for a drink of water in the living room, but inadvertently noticed the withered roses on the table!
Now the woman was somewhat angry.
"Who on earth would do this, give someone flowers, and buy these already wilted ones at that?"
"I knew this guy was stingy as hell, even scrimping on money for flowers."
By this time, the man had also awoken, yawning as he emerged from the room.
Seeing the old master in casual sportswear, highlighting that slender and perfect figure that increased one’s desire tremendously.
"Good morning," Lin Zifeng greeted casually.
"Explain this, where did all these flowers come from?"
"I bought them." Lin Zifeng replied honestly.
"They weren’t picked up, were they?" The woman’s curved Liu Mei eyebrows twitched slightly.
Immediately with a cold face, she said, "Is this how you give someone flowers? Just these kind of flowers? Lin, aren’t you being ridiculously stingy? I used to think you were generous when it came to money, don’t you know that you should pair flowers with beauty, at least get something that looks decent."
"Empress Dowager, you might have misunderstood." The man looked at her blankly, opening his mouth to explain when—
Nangong Bing stood up straight, a seductive smile on her face, "Misunderstood? The flowers are in my hands now. Even if you wanted to surprise me, was there any need for such a trick? It’s really outdated."
"No, can you just listen to my explanation?" Lin Zifeng’s face stiffened, these flowers were indeed not bought for her, last night he saw Chuqing in distress and bought all the flowers to help her.
Now, look where that got me.
"Forget it, but I’m confiscating these flowers for now." After saying this, without waiting for the man to react, the woman took the flowers and sniffed them beneath her beautiful nose. Then contentedly she headed upstairs.
It seemed that even if the flowers were withered, Nangong Bing still accepted them with pleasure, after all, it was the man’s thought that counted.
"Uh." Lin Zifeng was stunned, these flowers truly weren’t bought for her, but now he felt too awkward to step forward to explain.
The woman’s graceful and charming figure came down from the second floor once again with relaxed and measured steps, holding an LV bag and still dressed in her classical attire.
Her round eyes glanced at someone and she said coldly, "Accompany me to Ye Group."
"Ye Group? To discuss a partnership?"
"Right, I’ve thought it over carefully these past few days. Considering the upcoming internet era, it’s crucial for Tianyu to establish a strong foundation early on, to alleviate future pressure on Tianyu’s development."
"But I think you shouldn’t cooperate with Ye Group. Do you know what kind of status Ye Group holds in Zhonghai City? Moreover, partnering with Ye Group is like seeking skin from a tiger. I hope you’ll reconsider." Lin Zifeng’s brows furrowed, sensing that the Ye brothers were too cunning and even the Martial Arts Alliance didn’t want to get involved.
In the evening, Lin Zifeng was preparing to sneak in and scout out the lair of Ye Group.
To see what kind of society the hidden Dragon Roar Society behind Ye Group really was.
"But now, aside from Ye Group in Zhonghai City who has the capability to partner with Tianyu, I really can’t think of another powerful group we could partner with, can you?"
"Yes!" Lin Zifeng said without hesitation: "Zhonghai City hides dragons and crouching tigers; Ye Group is indeed powerful and has intricate connections behind it, but there are many other groups in the city accumulating strength in secret, they just choose to keep a low profile."
The woman had a cold look, her eyebrows slightly raised, her gaze intense as she surveyed Lin Zifeng with her charming and narrow eyes.
She laughed, "It seems you really do know quite a bit, eh?"
"Uh. Heh, thanks for the compliment, I just heard it through the grapevine." The man’s face stiffened, then he laughed: "How about it, Empress Dowager, why don’t you listen to my opinion first? What do you say?"
Humph! Your opinion? More like your head is too big.
A small security guard like you, what opinions could you have?
Humph! I just don’t want to listen to your opinions.
"No way." The woman seemed a bit petulant in her thinking.
Lin Zifeng looked at her, puzzled. This wasn’t her style, although Nangong Bing was a bit cool, she usually listened to good advice.
"Because you come from a security guard background!"
"My goodness! Are you discriminating based on occupation? What’s so bad about being from a security guard background? The Ming Dynasty Emperor ’Zhu Yuanzhang’ started off begging. Heroes aren’t judged by their origins; think of where wealth and honor come from."
"Come on! Where’s your heroism? I haven’t seen you act the hero. If you’re brave, show me how you’re a hero right in front of me." The woman rolled her eyes, her cold words pricking at him.
"Alright then! You’re the one who wants to see me play the hero. Don’t regret it."
With that, the guy started walking step by step towards the woman.
Raising two Demon Claws, he adopted the look of a villain.
"What, what are you going to do?"
